I have a 2007 Macbook, so it's probably a lot older than your Macbook Pro, but it sounds like what happened to me, except that mine hadn't travelled anywhere. I pulled out the ram and blew out some dust, popped them back in, and wha-la! it turned back on and worked better than ever! Or otherwise you've got a dud/old/warped/fried battery, which is also what happened to my laptop - it got so  bad it did what your laptop is doing. Ordered a new battery online and all good since then. Or otherwise, like the previous post asked, 'is it plugged in?'

  • I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

    I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

    can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv

    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

    I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

    See the following thread on the same topic:
    2 Thunderbolt displays   MBP = sound coming from both displays?

    How do i sync my contacts from my iPhone with my macbook pro for messaging purposes?

    Hey dthompson2108, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    You can sync contacts between your iPhone and MacBook Pro using iCloud or iTunes.
    See this link for help with setting up iCloud on your computer and device(s):
    Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Instead of turning on iCloud on your iPhone and Mac, you can sync using iTunes as explained in this article: 
    Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
    All the best,

  • Traveling with my MacBook Pro & moving files

    I have a desktop Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. I want to travel with my MacBook and take some files with me. Not a strange request...right? But having trouble finding how to move some apple files and which files to move.
    Specifically I want to move:
    Address Book
    Ical
    Mail
    When I return I will want to move these files back to my desktop. When I used Entourage, I only needed to move the entourage database. easy.
    Is there an easy way to move the associated files for Address Book, Ical &
    Mail. or do I i have to hunt though all the Library files and prefs??
    Advise??
    Also do both MacPro and MacBook Pro have to be on the same OS? (currently one is Leo, one is Tiger)

    ok, if you do not need to access your mail, contacts, ical over the net and both your macs are on a local network at home, then you may want to look at:
    http://www.address-o-matic.com/ for syncing your address book between both macs when at home on the same local network for example
    http://www.busymac.com for the busysync product for syncing your ical between both macs at home on the same local network - although busymac has just released an upgrade which will allow you to sync over the web
    as for your email, if your isp allows for an imap account, then you are set, just set up the imap account in mail on both macs and changes on one mac's mail will appear on the other.
    the above is not an integrated solution you will note, and will not allow you to view your data online.
    .mac will offer you an integrated solution and way much more than syncing of ical, contacts, and mail rules and signatures - note that there is no syncing of emails per se, a .mac account being imap, again changes on one mac's mail will show up on the other. you will also be able to sync bookmarks, access contacts, bookmarks and email online, publish photo albums and videos to the net and share them with friends, sync your entire preferences between both macs, using backups, and idisk. you may want to look at this link to review all the features for .mac: http://www.apple.com/dotmac/
    then again .mac may not be what you are looking for, and you may want to focus on individual solutions as outlined above for contacts and calendars.... your choice.
    hope this helps

  • My macbook pro charger does not work!! I have extended warranty/Guarantee from the store, do they exchange or give me a new one?

    Hi,
    There is a problem with my MacBook Pro Charger. It was working for a few months, but then it just doesnt work. My laptop doesnt charge!!
    I have an extended guarantee from the store, i got my laptop, does it apply Warrantee/Guarantee? There is no problem with my laptop, cause it charges all fine with my wife's charger!
    Thanks

    In as much as we here are not the store the best thing to do is bring it back and have them give you a new one. You should be most certainly covered under warranty. (As long as your dog didn't eat it).

  • Just moved from a PC to a Macbook Pro and now my Ipod Classic gets stuck on iTunes "syncing" even though I have it set to manual. Please help!

    Please help. I recently bought my first Mac (a Macbook Pro 15-in Mid 2012) and my iPod classic will not work properly when I plug it into my computer and open the newest version of iTunes. It played just fine on my old PC with iTunes 10. I have not updated the software on the iPod since I bought it a few years ago and even if I wanted to update it I couldn't becuse once I plug it in it gets stuck saying "syncing with iTunes." Well, I have it manually set so that I can add/delete whenever I want. So I don;t understand why it is giving me  this message and getting stuck. I've looked around the web and tried to install iTunes 10 but because I have the newest version already installed it will not let me replace it with 10.
    Does anyone know how this can be resolved?
    Thanks.

    Apple doesn't call its portable machines 'notebooks' instead of 'laptops' for nothing - using a MacBook Pro in your lap can cause some burns on your skin, poor ventilation, etc. So use it on a hard flat surface - not your lap, pillows, bedclothes, etc.
    As for burning a hole in your screen, you'll have to revisit the Apple Store and see how much they would charge for a new screen. It's likely to be a bit expensive.
    And if you've Safari set to re-open tabs when you restart, you can disable this feature -> Safari-Preferences-General.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • HT2801 Can I use the MacBook Air superdrive with my MacBook Pro?

    Can I use the MacBook Air superdrive with another Mac, such as a MacBook Pro?

    No, it only works with the MBair and the Mac Mini.

  • How well does Adobe Air work with the MacBook Pro?

    If I install a program that uses Adobe Air will it affect my MacBook Pro?

    I have several other Macromedia applications - but not Air. But if the other applications are an indication, boot is going to be slow (around a minute); Air's dependence on Flash will guarantee relatively slow performance. As you know, most other applications boot in seconds.
    Your best solution would be to download the free part of the programs to determine if you find the performance acceptable.

  • Why is my macbook pro 10.4 not starting up just blank?

    My MacBook Pro is not starting and battery is running What could be a problem?

    Need a few more details.  When you say not starting, do you mean you are unable to power up from a shut down?  Or do you mean when you turn your computer on, you get either the grey screen, blue screen or just the spinning wheel?
    Why is my macbook pro 10.4
    Are you saying that your os is Tiger 10.4?    If that is the case, have you tried booting up from your system disc? 
    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.
    There is no such thing as a  Macbook Pro 10.4.

    Mobo MSI 890FXA-GD70
    Memory 4Gb Kingston DDR3 1333

    PSU Cooler Master RealPower M620
    Operating system Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits
    the system ran fine until last saturday when I tried to start it the system did not repsond at all !!! I opened the case and saw that the debug display was flashing and shows FF and does not get any further. The HDD inside LED is also flashing opposite to the debug LED display.
    Does anybody have the same problem and maybe a solution on how to start the system? I build the system about 1,5 weeks ago and after some initial trouble it ran fine.
    Thansk a lot in advance for your replies
