i received a macbook pro in april but it has not any optical drive although it was included in the order form. What should I do?

I now the place but it is my first time to work with mac and no body is here to help me and i should figure it out by myself. The slot looks closed with the similar color  as aluminum so i thought it is blocked. But in system info i saw that there is  a drive on my macpro so i test a cd to insert and .

  • WHAT is the use of a retina display when you can't watch DVD movies? what's the purpose of a super thin retina macbook pro when you need to buy an external optical drive? doesn't it defeat the purpose already?

    i don't care if my macbook is a little thicker as long as i don't need to burden myself of an external optical drive just for a simple  and common task of watching/listening to discs.

    I'm confused, why did you choose to buy the retina model if you don't like it? This is exactly why Apple still manufacture/sell the 'old' style MBP which is thicker and has an optical drive built-in!

  • I bought 2 new memory card to 4 grams each - replace them in your MacBook Pro 13-inch but it will not turn on - If you are installing a card for 2 and one for 4 d all works - tell me what could be the problem

    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, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch.  Any ideas?

    My MacBook Pro, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch.  Any ideas?

    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

    Greetings Nefertiti72,
    It seems you are experiencing an issue with contact syncing and management. It seems you've removed an email account which contained a number of contacts that are not associated with your iCloud account. I have linked to a knowledge base article which provides more information about iCloud contacts syncing:
    Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
    Learn what to do if you’re having issues using iCloud Contacts. For example, you might make changes to Contacts that don't update across all of your devices.
    You may want to consider importing the contacts from the email account you removed. You can do it easily by following the steps in this article:
    iCloud: Import a vCard
    You can import an electronic business card, also called a vCard, into iCloud Contacts. If the vCard contains contact information for more than one person, each contact becomes a separate entry.
    In iCloud Contacts, choose Import vCard from the Action pop-up menu , which appears at the bottom of the All Contacts list or a list of group contacts
    Select a vCard to import.
    The contacts from the vCard are added to the All Contacts group in Contacts. You can add the contacts to any other group by dragging them to the desired group.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I am trying to install windows 7 to my Macbook pro with bootcamp but every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7", any solutions ?

    Hi, I am trying to install Windows on my MacBook Pro with bootcamp. Every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7". I did this before using the same computer and the same hard drive so I am not sure why this is happening now but did´t happen then. Any solutions ?

    Was your Bootcamp info.plist manipulated to change any options?

  • My macbook pro doesn't turn and has a black screen.  Fan is running though. Does anyone know what to do?

    Does anyone have any advise when a Macbook Pro doesn't boot and has a blank screen?  The fan is running but there are no backlights working.

    Depending on your model MBP, see Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues These computers were manufactured between approximately May 2007 and September 2008
    If you are under warranty and/or have AC, give them a call. 
    Out of warranty, take your MBP to your local AS and/or AASP. 

  • I have a great number of Hi8 video tapes and I would like to burn them onto CDs through MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A), but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend?

    Hello everybody! My question is; my parents and I have a great number of video tapes (Hi8 and mini DV) and since I purchased a MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A) I would like to burn them onto CDs, but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend(it can be a software, a hardware or combination of both)? By the way, I also purchased an external DVD-RW(Asus SDRW-08D2S) separately.

    Just Google "convert hi8 to dvd" and you'll find a number of software/hardware combinations that will allow you to do what you want. One important piece of the puzzle is whether or not you still have access to the video recorder(s) that the movies were shot on.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • After restart, Macbook Pro is on, but screen is not.

    When ever I do a restart on my MBP, it starts up, the greeting sound chimes, but the screen does not come on. If i start it from when it is completely shut down, it does not have the problem. I end up having to hold down the power button to hard boot it, which, I know is not a very good idea, but I cannot figure out how to shut it down gracefully.
    The most recent event happened when I installed Snow Leopard on the MBP and then used system update to install software updates. It did the install and then went to restart, and the sounds came on, the keyboard lit up, but the screen was "off". I tried typing keys, using commandoptionesc but nothing. Eventually, when hitting the return key, I was getting that sound when you try do to something but it does not want to let you, the "dun" sound.
    I had the MBP in to see the genius bar last weekend and they said nothing appeared to be wrong in the diagnostic.
    I have to update my safari to 5.0.3 but I don't want to hard boot again tonight.
    Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    have you tried a SMC reset or NVRAM reset?
    Have you installed all the software updates? when the issue happens, if you shine a light on the screen can you make out the desktop or any thing? if so, if you press the brightness up button, dose it show the brightness at 100%? If you move the display like your opening/ closing the computer dose the display flicker?
    to try a more graceful shutdown. if the computer is at the desktop. you might be able to shutdown the computer by pressing the power button, wait a few seconds, then press the return key.

  • My MacBook Pro gets hot when I'm not doing much and when I watch YouTube videos the video skips, scrolling doe as well.

    I bought the new, and my first MacBook Pro 13" a little over a month ago for college and love it, but have started to realize a couple problems I can't seem to solve. The bottom of the MacBook becomes very very hot in a short amount of time, and I really don't think I'm doing much to cause it. Another issue is while I watch a Youtube video in HD, even if it's completely loaded, it skips every so often and is slow and also makes my computer very hot. When I try to scroll up and down to view a web site, it also sometimes skips. I really never thought this would happen to Apple computers and hope someone can help me fix these problems! Thank you very much in advanced!

    The widget that works well on your Dashboard is called IStat Pro, It monitores all running statistics updated every 15 seconds.     Your fan  always runs at about 2000 RPM and will increase up to 6000 RPM after 140 degreesF and higher is reached.   This widget will show you continuos measurements for you to see

  • I bought a macbook pro in boston on October 25th, can I exchange it for the Macbook pro with retina. It has not been turned on - only the box has been opened.

    I've never turned on my new macbook pro but I want to exchange it for the new Macbook pro with retina display. Is this possible. I have the receipt. Box was opened.

    No - you have 14 days from date of purchase to exchange or get a refund. That should have been on your receipt somewhere.
    I'm afraid that you're just going to have to sell your computer, somehow, and put that money towards a new one.
    Why in the world did you buy what you didn't want?

  • Macbook Pro plugged in, but battery has declined from 90 to 9%

    I am plugged into the wall with the proper charger, but see screenshot below for what has been going down energy wise. I do have a process using multiple cores in the background, but did not know this was actually possible...

    Try a different power adapter?
