HT2471 My Mac book pro had been stolen can I track it down
Hi
My Mac book pro has been stolen can track it down if so can please ask for some help.
Thanks
You can only let Apple know that it was stolen by providing them the serial number. If you're still under warranty you should be able to login here with your Apple ID and find your serial number.
I can't remember who you contact at Apple - your Apple Store would be a good bet - at least if it shows up at an authorized repair center, they'll know it was stolen. Not sure how this works exactly but a friend of mine has a MacBook stolen and he followed this procedure.
And, of course, you've given the serial number to the police? They're the best place to start if you have or have recovered your serial number.

Just want the information to be out there - my Mac Book Pro has been stolen! Serial no W8****ATN, model A1278 what could I do to track it or at least block it?
<Personal Information Edited by Host>You can use iCloud to lock it if you had that set up. Otherwise, the only thing to do is report the theft to the police. You may want to contact your homeowner's insurance to see if it would be worth filing a claim with them also.

My Mac book Pro has been stolen on 22nd Sept 2014 in a train.I have activated i cloud on my mobile but it is not activated on laptop. I lodged an FIR in the police station.Can i trace the laptop??
<Personal information edited by Host>If you didn't have "Find My Mac" enabled under the iCloud System Preferences pane, there's likely no way to trace your machine over the Internet.
Sorry,

Did you buy the perpetual version of Lightroom or is this the subscription version? If perpetual, install and enter your serial number. If subscription, install using the creative cloud desktop app and be sure you're signed into it.

My Mac Book Pro had a split drive with Windows Microsoft Access on it and it was removed when Mavericks installed. I need this so how can I go back to the old system?
Restore from the backup you had prior to installing Mavericks.
However, the upgrade should not have altered your partition scheme. Did your erase and format the drive prior to upgrading? -
My daughter forgot her Mac book pro password. How can I reset it
My daughter forgot her Mac book pro password. How can I reset it?
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart. -

My mac book pro runs very slow, can I make it run faster?
I have a 4 month old Mac book pro. granted, its just an i5 2.4
It seemed to be pretty quick when I first bought it. but it started slowing down.
So I put 8 gigs of ram into it.
but it still runs painfully slow.
I spent the day putting files in the trashbin. Today I am deleting them perm. BUt even the empty function is slow. It can take 2 or 3 seconds to delete a single file. Right now, the process has been stuck on the same file delete for almost a minute.
I have run disk utils, and it came back instantly as fine.
So, I have 4 questions.
1... is there a check list to improve speed.
2... It there a utiltiy program I should run to confirm my files. I have uninstalled a number of programs. Perhaps they were not uninstalled properly?
3... I understand that there are some disksweep tools to stay away from. Especially the free once. Can I get a list of the bad players
4... I am thinking of replacing the Hard Drive with an ssd/hard drive combo. they seem to be getting cheaper, and I have heard some good thinkgs about them. I know it would void my warrentee, butcan I get some stories about the transition.

Mac Book Pro 2.13 17" can only boot up in Safe Mode
I have a 4+ year old Mac Book Pro 2.13 Intel Core 2 Duo 17" and it's primarily been used for heavy graphics usage it's entire life. (Adobe CS Suite etc). A few weeks ago I was watching a video, Hulu, and the entire screen froze. Since it was none responsive I force powered off. waited a few and restarted. I got to the Grey screen, Apple logo, and after 30 sec the screen went to all grey and no further. Tried it several times, powering off, removing battery, resetting PRAM, all to the same result.
Things that DO work:
Can boot in Target Disk mode and mount the disk on another computer. Ran Disk utility and all check out.
Can boot in Safe mode but screen shows some video artifacts. Light red squares all over the screen.
Can option boot to choose a disk although see the same result as above description.
Things That DONT work:
Booting from CD fails at same location as OS boot
Booting using Hardware Check Disk
I haven't visited an apple store yet for this issue since I'm hoping to repair myself once I narrow down the problem.
I'm guessing it's the power supply but not sure. It does get hot so guessing something is wonky.
Any thoughts?
ThanksBeen reading a little and the Mac Book Pro may not have a power supply in the traditional sense so it may not be replaceable. Hmm

My Mac Book Pro 15", 2.33 GHz, 3 GB memory - runninfg Mac OS X 10.4.11 WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! HELP!!!
When I use the SHUT DOWN command in the Apple Menu - programs close, the screen goes to a blue screen with a revolving time indicator and then remains that way until I FORCE SHUT DOWN by pressing the power button - then after a it makes the sound the screen goes black. I have restarted the machine several times and run disk doctor from the start up disk - no problems are recognized. The problem started last night. I upgraded to Mac OS 10.4.11 today - hoping that the update would resolve the issue - NO LUCK! I keep trying to get a successful SHUT DOWN from the apple command - However I have not been able to get it to SHUT DOWN without forcing the power button. HELP!"... and run disk doctor from the start up disk"
Please explain that one. Disk Doctor was part of Norton Utilities. NU is not supported by OSX and the faster you get rid of it the better. Boot from your Installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utilities. An optional way of shutting down is holding down control-option-command keys and pressing the eject button. When you are having problems address the problem. Upgrading to a new OS version will not solve the problem.
Wht you should try is running the 10.4.11 intel combo updater here:

I searched the forums and tried the suggested fixes: trashing these 2 .plist preferences and reboot.
Reset your Energy Saver preferences.
HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration > com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
this worked for a couple of cycles then the problem retuned/
Hey, Mac geniuses and wizards - what is going wrong with my macbooHave you ever waited and let it do it's thing? I was ready to force mine to quit the other day after waiting 2-3 minutes, and all of sudden, it shut down. I restarted it and then shut it down again. This time it was normal.
Try this yet before doing an Archive and Install.
1. Boot from your system CD, run Disk First Aid from your Disk Utility and repair your permissions.
2. Use a utility like Onyx to clean your system cache out, including your kernel cache. The computer will restart slow right after that, but I keep rebooting the computer about 3 times in a row, and I'm back up to speed.
