I have a 15 inch mac book pro running osx 10.5.8. I recently moved to Florida and switched to Comcast (the only option). Now when I access my bank website, I can get past the login to my account page but the data is permanently unavailable. The bank says no one else has this problem. Everything is up to date as far as software is concerned. . .I just update anything that comes up. I have not had this problem with this computer anywhere else and I am not having a problem with any other website. I have the problem with both Safari and Google Chrome.

I have setup os x lion on my mac book pro which i bought after 2010. Over 90% when i want to shut down, the process stop at the end and rounding circle appear for so long that i should turn off the system by pressing and holding power bottom.

For about a month now my Macbook Pro has been running louder than usual, and its hot to the touch. As far as programs running, I'm usually just doing basic things such as using the internet or on Microsoft Word. Is there any reason why this might of just started occuring?

Hi, I have a 13 inch mac book pro
brought in feb this year I want to install windows on it as it works better for my work requirements can any one tell me how much this will cost and what is needed and if anyone has done it? thanks Marcel
You need a Retial version of Windows 7. Home or Pro doesn't really matter unless it it matters to you personally.
And basically that's it. You use Boot Camp Assistant to partitioin the drive and then install Windows 7.
Or you could use one of the Virtual Machine software programs and install any version of Windows in a virtual machine. So for that you would need the VM software and a version of Windows.
EDIT:
Or you could go out and for a few dollars more buy a Real Windows computer with Windows 7 Preinstalled. -

If you're looking to get an SSD with increased capacity, they can be purchased from OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Express
They are very easy to install.
Note that I'm not sure on how this may impact your warranty. Nothing in an Air is considered user upgradable. Therefore there would be no reason for a consumer to open it up. As Apple does not consider the SSD as user replacable, it may cause warranty issues. I have not seen any comments from anyone who has upgraded their SSD and subsequently had to have service. -
I have found that my Mac Book Pro late 2011 15 inch is slower than I expected with certain downloads, or working with iPhoto than expected compared to my previous Windows 7 PC. Would adding RAM be of any value in speeding up the process?

i am looking to get a new 13 inch mac book pro, what is the max RAM that I can install. I know configured from Apple is 8 GB, but can I put 16 GB after?
Yes, you can install 16GB in your new macbook pro.
Go here (OWC) and here (Crucial) to give you options on how much you want to spend.
Good luck. -

How can I steam from my early 2011 15-inch Mac Book Pro to my 2007 Samsung TV?
I have an early 2011, 15-inch Mac Book Pro Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34). It does not have an HDMI port. I have a Samsung TV I bought in 2007 (Model LN-4061F). How can I stream from laptop to my TV? My laptop does not have an HDMI port. I've read I can buy an adapter, but I'm not sure what to buy.
-Does Apple make them?
-Are knockoff adapters "safe" to use with my laptop, and are they reliable/have a good quality connection?
-How much do they cost (I've seen cheap ones on Amazon)?
-What kind should I buy?
-Will my laptop stream in HD?
I'm new to the community, so hoping someone can advise me how to do this. We also have a Roku, but I'm looking to stream DVDs and directly from TV network websites.
Thanks for your help!You will have to use the minidisplay port to connect to the TV. Assuming that the TV has an HDMI port, you will need a cable such as this:

With this, you eliminate the need for an adapter.

I have a 2nd Gen MAc book Air with Lion . The 60GB hard disc has quickly filled up despite me keeping most of my data on a portable hard drive . I used disk inspector to locate the problem but found that it was was in 20 GB of hidden files in my user directory . Is this correct and is there anything i can do about it ? Using disk inspector you can not see individual hudden diretories or files. I did unhide them but there is a mass of diretories etc and so no way i could see if this is one or multiple files using the space. Library System and Applications are at 4 3 and 3 GB respectvely. The data I actually keep on there is 9GB Thanks for any help
I think the problem is Quick Time Player. I am using OS 10.6.8 by the way.
I tried it out again.
I had about 26 GB of space before I played an .avi video.
After the movie started to play (it was slow to load), I got a warning message that my startup disk was full. I opened Disk Utility and it told me I had no space left (about 20 MB or something like that was left).
I watched to the end of the movie.
Then I quit Quicktime Player.
And I shut down the computer.
I turned on the computer and checked Disk Utility. I have about 26 GB of space.
I think for some reason Quicktime Player uses up a lot of the disk space when it runs movies that are problematic. This movie I was watching did not open with vlc.
I normally use vlc to watch movies.
Probably it doesn't use up this much space when the movie is OK.
I think there's a problem with this particular movie. It is about 50 MB so it's not that big a file. I watch .smi subtitles with it. The Quicktime Player automatically loads the subtitle file in this case because the subtitle file has the same name as the movie file.
I watched about 10 movie files from the same series that I downloaded together and did not have any problem watching them. I watched them on vlc. But this latest movie had problems I think (as I repeat). It did not load on vlc even though I waited for a minute, and normally movies load instantly on vlc.
So I think that movie file caused problems. It made QT player use up a lot of hard disk space.
I had better avoid watching that movie in the future. I don't want it to wreck my hard drive.
So to sum up, everything is back to normal. I have the hard disk space that I should have. However, I am scared of damaging my hard drive due to shonky movie files that eat up all the space when they are played using QT player, and so I will not watch those files in the future, as I do not know why the files do that. -
