I have a real problem with my macbook pro after Update 10.6.8

i want to instal a windows 7 on bootcamp which i used to perform it everytime before i updated to 10.6.8
it rejects the DVD drive after it restarts the notebook for continuing the windows installation so it goes straight to mac os again
any suggestion ?
i also got parallels 6 but i think bootcamp is better, which one is better ?

How many questions are you asking? Put them in order.

Elaborate what this has to do with 10.6.8 as well.

  • Has anyone else had problems with the macbook pro after the OS X Yosemite upgrade?

    has anyone else had problems with the macbook pro running slow after the OS X Yosemite upgrade?

    Same for me! my iphone 4s gets extremely hot whit IOS 7.0.2.

  • Hi ! I have a big problem with my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 ! It may be broken or what seems to be the problem with the video drivers ? I have a built in internal Graphic 288 of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M of 512 of RAM !

    On Mountain Lion :
    It happens to turn of my monitor in different situations. Sometimes i believe i have my graphic video broken ! In my town i don't have Apple doctors so i dont risk to go to a service non authorized from apple !
    For example there was a day when it turns off when a simply pinch with thumb and 3 fingers for launchbad ...and the opperating sistem it should be restart from power button ! That was when i had Mountain lion 10.7.5 update
    Other situation was with photoshop cs6, cs5, cs4 30 days trial versions ...i couldn't buy any versions so i decided to test a earlier versions that can match with my sistem requirements. In all of this three situations my display had turned off after opening a image or photo or 3d graphics in photoshop...anyway sadness.
    Other situation : One day i was simply relaxing surfing facebook and ...than i've just simply open an advertising link ...and on that page i was waiting to load a video that used another player than flash player of youtube. Even two seconds didn't stayed open and trust me it turned off my display once again !
    After Mountain Lion :
    I told my story to to someone who holds an MacBook Pro i5 etc. and he told me to test the new mavericks maybe it's something broken in my operating system.... and believe me after 2 days of happiness with OS X MAVERICKS , last night my computer restarted because of a problem, and 2 hours ago again....why ? i don't know ! Maybe Video RAM or maybe Memory RAM or Maybe simple conflicts between Trial Photoshop and OS X or maybe my macbook it's 2 old...or i don't know ....for how much i used this mac it should run as an mustang !    MacBook Pro i7 Mid 2010 HDD 500 , 4 GB of DDR 3 , Intel built in Graphic 288 and an NVIDIA GE FORCE 512 , 15 inch display monitor , 283 real cicle counts ( my mac was used as an iphone while charging and using battery) ...i don't know what to do ! Please help !
    The Operating System shoes me everytime this error !

    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:

    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
    Good luck,

  • I have problem with my macbook pro after installing lion

    You can do some basic diagnostics, first open Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. If that does not help I woudl think you got a corrupt download of ML and need to re-download from the Mac App Store and reinstall. Hopefully you have been backing up and have a stable backup system.

  • Hello,my wife have a problem with her macbook pro,after installing flash player it freezes. Have tried to do a restart,didn't help at all. I hope I can get some tips on this. Thank you. Fred

    This is a new problem for me so I hope I can get some answers. Thanks The problem now are not flash player. this Mac freezes and cannot be started again. Every time she tries to login,the screen starts to shiver,like when a wrong password is being used.???? 

    She may have an incompatible version of Flash plyer. Also, there have been some cases of fake copies floating around.
    The best thing is to uninstall it and download a new version directly from Adobe.
    Uninstall instructions are here:

  • Think I have a systemic problem with my MacBook Pro

    I have posted 3 diff questions but now think it's a systemic problem. Lately, the Mac doesn't see my BB, ICAL is deleting appointments, and I can't download pics from my Canon camera. What could be going on. I didn't change anything substantial.
    Mac is 10.6.4

    As a first step, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

  • HELP ME I have a serious problem on my macbook pro HELP ME

    I have a serious problem on my macbook pro, after I made this tutorial this link:http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/01/tweaking-your-system-install-chameleon.ht ml, I could no longer install windows on mymacbook pro, already tried everything, according to my knowledge. already formatted, re-formatted, reset EFI, PRAMetc., nothing worked. Ever tried installing on different operating systems, versions of Windows 32 and 64 also, nothing worked.I'm sure that something strange aocnteceu after this tutorial I did,because before I was usually running windows on my mac. The error appears to me is: "Can not partition this drive because some files can not be removed." Sometimes I can go, but time to install windows and choose the partition BOOTCAMP, I get a message saying that the exclamation windows can not be installed on this partition, but maybe my BIOS is not supportedfor this installation. PLEASE HELP ME I'M DESPERATE AND NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO MORE. WAIT HELP

    I did not know that the chameleon installation was just for Hackintosh, was lack of attention, my bad!!! I will try your method now. In a moment I'll tell you if it worked.

  • After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    How crap is that?
    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

    I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

    try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
    most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

    you mentioned that Terminal does not work at all for your MacBook Pro. What currently happens when you run Terminal? In what way does it not work?

    have a problem with my MacBook Pro.5,3 and monitor.  Intermittently, the desk top screen becomes broken up into vertical sections, which appear in the wrong order, creating a haphazard picture.
    The Apple icon, usually at top left corner, appears in top right corner  in a strip including all that left hand.  When the computer is restarted, the screen goes back to normal.  But I have to move the mouse to the far left of the screen and then up until it reappears on the far right hand side of the screen so that I can hit shut down button.
    It seems to happen randomly though always on desk top and sometimes when I move mouse and computer switches on from rest mode.   My large flat screen is relatively new.
    The video card on this computer, which is approximately two years old, is Nvidia FeForce 9400M.
    Any help would be welcome as my usual source of assistance is not available and I am not well versed in workings of the Mac although I have used one for many years.

    That sounds like a Hardware problem.
    You may be able to confirm that with Apple Hardware Test, or make an appointmenst for a free Genius Bar evaluation.

    I have problems with my macbook pro ... I recently bought "OS X Lion Mountain" but complete installation did not work ... purchases every time when I look biem appstore is still installed ... so now I have OS X version 10.8.3 ...

    does it say not installed or does it say "download" in app store purchases?
    if it say's download,  then it's there for future use if you need to download it again.
    see image below - i'm running Mountain Lion and it say's download in my App Store.

  • Hello i have some problems with my macbook pro

  • I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet

    I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet. The Airport icon changes to show a laptop inside, my iPad shows connected (I think) but Safari will not operate. I tried pinging my iPad, it seems to see the iPad, but no connection to Safari or to other apps such as Good on the iPad. I have read many posting and tried repeatedly via Sharing in Systems Preferences, but no luck. Suggestions to fix, or is this a Lion problem?

    Usually this is a problem related to the domain name server address. If you open Network preferences, select your Ethernet port then click on the Advanced button then on the DNS tab. You will likely see an entry like 10.0.1.1 already listed. Click on the Add [-] button and enter 208.67.222.222 then click on the OK button and then on the Apply button.  See if this helps.
    if it does not help then repeat the above but with the Airport port.
