See if a SMC reset will breath life into them:

    Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?
    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"
    Offered solution doesn't work:
    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    I can't download photographs from my iphone or my digital camera.
    Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?
    There is a possibility that when I went to update applications that I started to install Mavericks which I then interrupted and cancelled. I am not definite that this caused this problem but it was at about the same time as when this problem started.
    Many thanks,
    Ed

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Elements 11 on macbook pro has stopped working and i can't re-install as its no longer available?

    Elements 11 on macbook pro has stopped working and i can't re-install as its no longer available?

    Further info:
    Running on a macbook pro.
    Purchased through the apple app store.
    Worked fine prior to mavricks update.
    I have read where others have had this issue, the general response has been that they have had no support from adobe in resolving the problem. One guy said he managed to get issued a new download of the softwear that works fine with mavricks.
    so there is a fix avalible but for some reason its not been a general update for all customers with premier elements 11?

  • My Macbook pro 17" stopped working

    my Macbook pro 17" stopped working I was surprised that Apple told me they no longer have support the 17" Macbook pro

    That may be discontinued. I can't find a reference anywhere saying if it's still supported or not. The best I can offer is this site where you put in the serial number. It provides all the details on the machine, including whether it's still supported or not. What's wrong with it?

  • Macbook pro speakers stopped working, earbuds fine

    My macbook pro speakers stopped working, but the earbuds work fine.  Tried restart and preferences.  Volume icon is grayed out, except when earbuds are plugged in.  What am I missing?

    Look in the audio output port.  If there is a red light, the internal switch is stuck.  Insert the earphone jack a few times.  Blow into the port as hard as you can.  Use a toothpick or something similar and jiggle it inside the port.  If no success, bring the MBP to the Apple store genius bar.
    Ciao.
    If there is no red light, try a PRAM reset:

  • I have a MacBook pro that stopped working - mother board issue?

    I have a MacBook pro that stopped working. Was told the mother board is bad. However, it still turns on and makes the normal start-up noises, DVD works and ejects, etc. - only the screen is out. Does this sound like a mother board issue?

    It is a 15" MacBook Pro purchased new in October 2007. It has a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Due processor with 4MB shared level 2 cache, 2GB SDRAM, 120GB hard drive, and a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 128MB of GDDR3 SDRAM.
    I read in another thread that there was a problem wiht NVIDIA video cards. Could this be the case with this computer? In the thread, the person indicated that NVIDIA was fixing these issues under warranty.
    I was told by the Mac repair tech (not an Apple store) that the new motherboard would by $700 and not under warranty.

  • TS5185 Messages on my MB Pro has stopped working completely

    I'm unable to send or recieve messages on my MB Pro
    It stopped working around mid December.

    Hi,
    It would be useful to know what you have tried.
    Start with the Apple Icon menu top left and About this Mac.
    Does this show the Serial Number ?
    In System Preferences > Date and Time does it show the Automatic server in use ?
    Have you set it to the Correct Time Zone ?
    In  Finder window use the GO Menu whilst holding down th ALT key.
    Select the Library that Appears.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    Find the com.apple.iChat.plist and Drag it to the Trash.
    Does the App start now ?
    In the Font Book scroll to the bottom of the List and check the AppleGothic Font.
    It should not  be disabled. It should validate (File Menu) and not be duplicated.
    Also check the Helvetica Neue and Lucida Grande whilst you are there.
    IF the app will open check the Details Button in Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account
    This should list you Location (county or Region for telephone International codes).

  • Macbook Pro wifi stops working, won't turn back on, requires restart to fix?

    So for the last two days my Macbook Pro's being doing something very strange. At random times, the wifi will just stop working (as in it thinks I have wifi but no webpages load anymore and my dropbox can't sync) and when I go to turn the wifi off and back on (in an effort to restart the chip thinking it would solve the issue), it won't turn back on. I go into the System Preferences, hit "turn wifi on" and nothing happens. I hit it about 10 times and that does absolutely nothing. I've then tried putting my mac to sleep and waking it back up, which delivers even stranger results; The wifi turns back on, but can't find any networks, both using scan and manually inputting the details of my network. So far the only fix for it is to just restart my Mac and then the wifi works just fine like nothing ever happened (until it happens again, usually a few hours later). I'm currently running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 on a 15" early 2011 Macbook Pro (MC723LL/A) with 2.2 GHz quad-core i7 and a 1TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD. The most recent modifications I've made are just installing GDB debugger and creating a custom certificate for it to be able to run Eclipse C/C++ IDE on my Mac, but I seriously doubt that would have caused the issue (especially since that was running for a few days before this happened). Has anyone else had a problem like this?

    So many people are having this problem. I believe I have solved it. I posted it on another thread, but I will post it here:
    First - let me say that I tried trashing the bluetooth preferences and restarting. That worked for about 10 minutes, then I also tried reorder the connections in Network Preferences, that didn't do much either.
    Here's what worked: Open System Preference, click on "Energy Saver", uncheck "Wake for network access". This has totally worked for me. I connect flawlessly and immediately to my network and to my printer.
    My order of connectivity of network devices is still ordered where Bluetooth is near the last of the devices. But really, try deselecting "Wake for network access"

  • MacBook pro charger stopped working

    I have a lightly used n
    MacBook pro 13 inch that stopped charging today. The battery health yesterday was at 95%. The green light on the plug end of the charger is not on. Could ths 80 dollar charge already have quit working? 

    Thanks. I was afraid of that. I tried several plugs.  It seems like everything we own from apple starts breaking down just after AppleCare ends. Our apple store is really slow in northern virginia. Had an appointment this Afternoon on a iphone5 that won't charge anymore and it still took more than an hour. Get home only to find my Mac charger stopped working today one month after the warranty expired.

  • 17" MacBook Pro Display stopped working

    Hello,
    I have a 17" 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro (purchased January 2008) and the display stopped working today. There is no light behind the Apple logo on the back or the display. The little white light by the latch works as normal, and I can hear the disk spin up when I power it off and on using the power button.
    When I connect to an external monitor, there is no signal. When the machine is powered on, I can see the drive on the network. I have also tried booting up using an install CD as well, but no luck.
    Yesterday, I updated all my software applications and did all the Apple software updates, everything worked fine. I am still on Snow Leopard, version 10.6.8.
    Any suggestions? Is it toast?

    Went to the Genius Bar yesterday. It's part of the NVIDIA issue.

    They had the part in stock should be able to repair it in 1-3 days.

  • Camera hardware on Macbook Pro suddenly stopped working

    Yesterday I was in the middle of a FaceTime call and suddenly my camera stopped working. I restarted my computer and the camera worked temporarily, then just as suddenly it stopped. When I restarted again, no camera was found.
    I checked around and tried that tip from OSXdaily - shutting down the VDCAssistant using Terminal. I also updated all of my software. I'm fully up to date in terms of the operating system. I've tried the whole zapping the PRAM thing also (ctrl+opt+P+R). I've set up additional accounts, checked across different applications - nada.
    Any other suggestions as to what the issue could be and how I can fix it? I bought my MacBook Pro at the end of December 2011, so it's not new, but it's in great shape.
