I just purchased a MacBook Pro 15 inch laptop. There is not CD drive, can an attachment be purchased?

Is there an external cd drive to purchase for the MacBook Pro?

Apple offers a super drive for your MBP:

Or you may use a DVD drive by other manufacturers.

Brand new Macbook Pro 15"inch laptop screen randomly going black

My laptop screen randomly going black during the use of computer, but the cursor is active and it moves with the track-pad. I bought this macbook pro 15"Inch laptop just 3 weeks ago. Did anyone come across this issue? Is there any alternative for this issue?

Hello Clinton
Thank you for your prompt response. I took an appointment with Genius Bar. Yes, this is a brand new laptop purchased it online through Apple website and received it on May 29th. I started noticing this issue from last week and it is happening at least 4 to 5 times in a day.
If this is really a hardware problem, is there any chance for laptop replacement or what will they do?
Regards!
Vijay

My left click does not work on my track pad on my macbook pro 13 inch, is there a fix

I recommend you to run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 It's possible that something is damaged, and Apple Hardware Test will help you finding it. Make sure you tick the option to run an extended test, and connect your Mac to the charger.
If your Mac came with DVDs, you have to insert the Mac OS X DVD to run Apple Hardware Test. As you haven't got the SuperDrive, you will have to buy an external optical drive

I assume that you have installed new RAM in your MBP.
It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.
What the the RAM specifications that you are trying to install?

My macbook pro 13-inch, Late 2011, is not charging properly.

My macbook pro 13-inch, Late 2011, is not charging properly. it charges for 4-5 seconds then stop and then continue. It charges normally when turned off. Could anyone care to explain what the problem is?

Hi OneManArmy_,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would try resetting the SMC and seeing if that allows the charge to work when the system is on:

I have new macbook pro retina and is there a web design format can use?

I have new macbook pro retina and is there a web design format can use?

I'm not understanding your question. I think you would use any of the current web design formats. Are you talking about what styles to use? If so see the css standards css1, css2, css3 to see what they can provide and which browsers are most compatible. If you are talking about languages use a current standard like html5, php, C#, visual basic , javascript, etc.
Be more specific about what you are asking.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) - Maximum internal hard drive size and speed?

What is the maximum size of hard drive and speed for an internal hard drive to my Macbook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2009), please?
I bought myself a Technics 1TB, 7200 rpm internal hardrive. Made a clone successfully in Super Duper.
It fits, but It is not available for starting up my Macbook Pro. Not available in System Prefs, but visible and grey in Disc Utility.
Although it starts up my Mac Pro just fine.. but not my Macbook Pro.
Is there a limit of hard drive specifics?

Thanks for the reply
I cloned the Technics HDD ( 2,5" HGST Travelstar 7K1000 - 1 TB : HTS721010A9E630) from the MBP.
I tried to boot it up with my Technincs ( 2,5" HGST Travelstar 7K1000 - 1 TB : HTS721010A9E630) installed in my MBP (as my internal hard drive).

My mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15 inch unibody battery will not accept a charge

HI there one and all!
                                    My mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15" unibody laptop will not accept a normal charge using the mag safe cord. I have replaced the original battery with a factory new replacement, but I still have the same results.
    The computer powers up and runs only with the mag safe cord attached and when shut down, does not switch from green to orange to indicate the charging mode.
    Can anyone be of assistance or perhaps has had a similar issue? Thanks in advance to anyone for their insight and help. If it makes a difference, my computer information is as follows: MacBook Pro 15", Mid 2010
                                        Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7

Please find "System Information" in this folder path---Applications > Utilities---and launch it. When it opens, find "Power" in the left-hand contents pane and click it to get something like this in teh main pane:
Copy everything in the "Battery Information" and copy/paste it here. The number values in that report may help us diagnose what is happening.
Also, did you buy this battery directly from Apple or from another source. There are an increasing number of reports showing up that suggests some counterfeit batteries being sold.

Just bought a MacBook Pro 15 Inch with the 2.53 Ghz (Fan Issue)

Hi, this is my second macbook pro and I am wondering if this is an issue or not. Ever since I opened it out of the box a few days ago, the right side of the laptop is slightly louder (the fan) than the left fan. It is not an abnormal noise (its a natural sound of the fan spinning) but its slightly louder. They are both currently running at 2000 RPM default (from istat widget) but I am wondering if this is normal. My first macbook pro (2009) is quieter.
Is an SMC reset necessary for a 3 day old macbook pro or some other solution? If anything is wrong, then I shall return it for another one with 14 days.
Please help, thank you!

I believe the fans are independently controlled, so if you are doing something processor intensive the fan over the CPU would undoubtedly be running more than the one over the GPU. Judging that it's your 2nd MBP, it's probably normal.

Macbook pro 17 inch early 2008 will not boot from disk

My macbook pro will not boot from from disk. I am running 10.6.8. Tried loading the disk that came with system holding down the C and you can here the drive working. It came back and said to restart computer by holding down the power button and poering it back up. Tried that and nothing. The software I tried to load is 10.5.4 Also tried loading os x snow leopard 10.6. Same thing happens.

Have you reset the SMC? If not, try that.

Nvidia Issue or just broken? - Macbook Pro 17 inch 2008.

My screen intermittently started going into this very weird textured looking dark pale blue colour... sometimes with some lines sometimes with just the texture. For a time it would just start working by itself. I've been quite hard on the computer travelling extensively on bumpy rides, so I wouldn't be surprised if something is just loose.
The reason I want to try and figure it out first is that the first place I took it to said it was water damage, kind of funny. They said I needed to replace the screen, I said no just give it back... and then when I fetched it the screen was working again!... they apparently stepped on it by mistake - Im not kidding! The whole body is slightly bent. It worked for about a year now, but stopped again last month.There is a photo of how it looks here:

Hi m, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sounds like it could be a connection, a cable, or the GPU. Read about the NVIDIA issue, but given water damage and physical damage, I strongly doubt the machine will qualify for the free repair. Still, it wouldn't hurt to have it tested and see.
I'm sure it's too late now, but if a repair shop stepped on my MBP, they'd be repair the damage or compensating me for it . . . .

So I just updatet my Macbook Pro 15 inch Mid 2010 to Mavericks and my charger isnt charging anymore !!!

Please help me anybody what should I do. I really need your help guys.

Have you checked the input on the MBP and the connector on the power adapter? Note that the power adapter pins are spring loaded. Make certain that none are stuck.
You are certain that the wall outlet is functional?
If available, try another power adapter.
If no success, bring the MBP and the power adapter to an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.
Ciao.

Just bought a macbook pro 13 inch and wifi doesn't work at all

, can't connect to my home network and in the advanced settings it says "wifi has self-assigned ip address... and will not be able to connect to the internet"

if you have other computers in the house, your modem might be blocking it. I've have seen users with the same issue and have experienced it myself. if powering down all computers and devices that connect to the modem do not work, i will have to suggest you call your internet service provider to assist you with your modem.

Macbook pro 13 inch early 2011 WILL NOT go to SLEEP on ITS OWN.

I am able to close the lid to have it sleep, and manually click the apple>Sleep button to get it to sleep, but with the Energy Saver preferences set for it to sleep at 1 minute it will not allow it to sleep. The display will turn off, but the Light doesn't start blinking dimly. Is anyone else having this similiar Problem? I've deleted preferences .plist files etc to try and remove any possible bad seetings but I think it may be related to this error here. I don't know if this problem is via a Firmware update or bad hardware.
I have noticed when I open up preferences for "Energy Saver" the "Console" gives me this error immediately.
