I spilled tea on my macbook pro last night and this morning i opened it and the fan began going loudly. It sounds like static. Is this a new thing to save itself?
I spilled my tea last night and a little got on my keyboard, by where the power cord plugs in. We immediately turned it upside down and of course dried off as much as possible. This morning, I tried turning it on and nothing happened. I waited a few minutes and tried again. The fan turned on, but nothing else. It sounds like static or white noise, but when you get closer you can feel the wind blowing from the fan. Is this a new self-saving thing? I just got it this year, 2014.
Turn it off now, it's damaged and the more you turn the power on the worse that can get.
Take it Apple, do not turn it on again.

Please elaborate on what exactly you mean by it "won't open".
Do you try to launch it and get an error message from the Finder (for example, something like "This application is damaged and cannot be launched....")? Does an icon for the application ever appear in the Dock when you try to launch it? Does it start to launch and then immediately crashes (Finder will display an "unexpectedly quit" dialog)? Or does it start to launch and never seems to "finish" launching (in other words, it basically hangs and is unresponsive)?
If the application crashes, please post the contents of the crash log here.
Otherwise, if the application seems to be hanging, can you, before attempting to launch it, open the Console.app application (it's in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder), and see if anything is reported when you attempt to launch it? If so, please post it here. -
My Macbook is not working. i dont know what to do. Please help
hello asterfromscarbourough,
your Macbook Pro should have came with some discs. One for Installing the OSx and the other for applications. You must find these 2 discs to fully install the software on your computer. That is all I can suggest. -
I just updated my MacBook Pro with the latest release of Lion. Now I am unable to open downloaded content. I have no trouble connecting to WiFI.
Any ideas?What is the prompt that comes up when you try to open a downloaded file? Where did you download the file from? What kind of file is it?

Spilled tea on my MacBook Pro while it was on.
OMG! 2 days ago. Will not boot - when I turn it on, the screen lights up, the boot sound announces and then... nothing but the sound of the logic board attempting connect through. Eventually a folder with a question mark displays on the screen.
So - I think I'm cooked. Now doing due diligence on a new model. Spoke with apple & suggested I might get my data off the hard drive by involking 'target disc mode' and linking a new MAC to the sad departed one.
Has anyone tried this? Do I need a MAC to MAC link to get the data?
I am 1 month out from my last back-up. have idisc. Worried about contacts and email records mainly. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.if you have a mobileme account. Your contacts may be on the me server, same with your me.com email to check go to http://www.me.com. click sign in, type in your mobile me email address and password. ones logged in click in you can see what email is on the server by clicking on the mail stamp. to see what addresses are on the server click on the address book.
if the contacts/email is on the server I can tell you how to sync them to your computer.
if the server dose not have your contacts/email. It's worth trying disk mode. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661 explains how to boot a computer into disk mode. you do need a firewire cable to connect the two computers together.
if disk mode doesn't work
a service provider might be able to pull data off a hard drive even if disk mode dose not work. http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ can be used to find an authorized service provider.
if a service provider can't get to the data
http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/ drive savers can recover data from many failed drives; but they're rather expensive. -
Is there a way to see serial number of computer that is linked to find my mac?
No.

Try an SMC reset.

If that does not solve the problem, what temperatures are you experiencing in your MBP and what applications are you using?

My 4 yo cousin took a sip of tea, didn't like it and accidentally spilled it on my macbook's keyboard. I immediately dried it using towel and restart to see if there could be any possible damage I can see before I knew that it should be turned off. I didn't notice anything wrong though, the keyboard were functioning normal but I can't be sure that there's no liquid inside. I think that amount of the tea wasn't that significant since my cousin spilled it from his mouth but I can't be sure still. Is there anything I can do to make sure there's nothing wrong? I now leave it turned off and place it in front of a fan to dry more. Thanks

That wont accomplish anything
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement. -
I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion. I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!
Please! I need an answer fast!!!!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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to the Mavericks OS. The screen died and I took it into an Apple store and was told replacing the screen and the hardware to repair everything would cost almost as much as buying a new laptop or a cheaper model. I was told that I can use a drive sled to access data I need on my hard drive. How do I remove my hard drive and use a drive sled to get to the information I need? What makes matters more complicated is I need to update my iPhone and my iTunes/App store purchases. How can I accomplish this?
My wife has a late 2008 Macbook Pro as well, which I am assuming I need to run my hard drive. Is there a way to just access just my hard drive without interfering with hers?
I know this is lengthy. Thanks to whoever looks at this and offers advice/instruction.the device you need is an External enclosure for a 2.5" (laptop form factor) SATA drive.
A USB-interface enclosure will be slow, but is adequate for this task and for re-purposing as a backup drive later. A firewire-interface drive would be faster, but is harder to find, more expensive, and faster than needed for this purpose.
The drive will mount as an "extra" drive on your wife's Macbook, and you can drag and drop whatever you wish. You could create a separate Account for yourself on her computer, and use Migration Assistant or just copy your stuff over to the new account. Then it would not interfere with her files. -

I just spilled water on my macbook pro? What should I do?
Hi j,
Shut it down, unplug it, and if it has a removable battery, remove it. After that, it becomes controversial. If possible, I believe in removing bottom cover and keyboard, then dabbing up any water that may have reached the "innards." After that, you can leave it open and point a fan at it for two days or so. Another option is to carefully position it in a bag of uncooked rice (so no rice will get inside it) and seal the bag, so the rice can absorb the water. Some people will tell you not to mess with it at all, just bring it to an Apple Store. -

Can some please tell me what is the return policy of apple because i really ****** off every week i went to apple store to solve the same issue and when i said i am not satisfied with this unit i want another new laptop then store manager said we can't give you new unit we can repair it.
This is my first apple laptop and i really not like it.We are all users here trying to help other users by exchanging troubleshooting tips.
Other than suggesting to contact Apple again, what response can we give?
Wish you the best.
