im running os x10.9.1 macbook pro  do i have a security issue??

If you mean this:
goto fail
there is a potential problem, though it's not known to have been exploited. If you're concerned, you can avoid it by temporarily switching from Safari to either Firefox or Chrome when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot.

  • I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

    I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

    try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
    most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

  • Do latest macbook pro's still have the heat issue? (7/10/06)

    wondering if the latest revisions of macbook pro still have the heat issue.. i heard the issue of the fan going off/on causing that 'whine' is gone and now the last thing holding me back from making the 'switch' is this heat dealy.

    My week 12 MBP has never had heat issues. It's fast, stable and comfortable to use.
    The case bottom of my 5+ year old TiBook gets hotter than the MBP. I've used a tilt stand for PowerBooks for years, both to reduce heat and because I prefer the typing angle.
    People are not getting burned. Really. If I were to charge a battery at the same time I'm running processes that load up both CPUs, the metal strip behind the function keys would get quite warm. It might be uncomfortable to touch (but doesn't have to be touched to use the computer). But it will not result in a physical burn, unless one loves discomfort enough to keep touching it for a protracted period. Even then, not a serious burn. A cup of coffee or tea is far more dangerous than a MacBook Pro.
    I've encountered several hot-running MBPs owned by people that I know in my local area. In each case, the problem was caused by software that was loading up the processors at full blast. One case was a runaway process that was initiated by software that was incompatible with the Intel processors. Another was caused by a stalled startup item -- again, software incompatible with the Intel CPU. In both cases, Migration Assistant had been used and the applications had not been updated for Intel compatibility.
    And still another case was a large collection of Widgets, some of which are badly written and load up the processors. Deactivating all but 3 or 4 Widgets made that computer run cool and quickly.
    Complaints about heat on this forum dropped dramatically after the last firmware update.
    If you want the most powerful notebook computer Apple has ever designed, get a MacBook Pro. I'm delighted with mine. No fix necessary, thank you.

  • Does anyone know How to run twin monitors on a MacBook Pro operating on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

    Hi
    Does anyone know How to run twin monitors on a MacBook Pro operating on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

    I know this doesn't help you much, but, I think you have to see if your Mac pro does audio out via HDMI. I don't even know if mine does via DVI. I think it may have to do with the adapter. Try going into Audio MIDI and setting the digital out to multichannel
    and using the toslink cable for now. Lemme see...apparently DVI does not carry audio at all. Hm. apparently monoprice could be helpful?  If I understand what you're saying correctly: you want to take DVI and multichannel audio via the Toslink and have it all go out over HDMI, right? Whooo..... amazon...looks like it's about $100http://www.amazon.com/Audio-SPDIF-Toslink-Converter-Adapter/dp/B0015YYOQQ
    just a shot in the dark
    I'm probably wrong....or not

  • How do I run Windows software on my MacBook Pro with OS X Mavericks

    How do I run Windows software on my MacBook Pro with OS X Mavericks? I want to run a TurboTax program to amend an old tax return. Program is not available for OSX.

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • HT1899 Can I install and run Windows XP on my MacBook Pro 13in. OS X 10.7.5?  If so, where can I buy it?

    I'm planning to use my macbook pro to record music, but some of the programs I will be using are only compatible with Windows.  I was told that it was possible to install & run windows XP onto my macbook pro by using Bootcamp.  I just don't know how fullproof or problematic this might be, or if it has even been successfully attempted yet.  Please help!
    Thx, K

    You can use XP with 10.7.x by installing XP when the Mac is operating from OS X 10.6.8. It can then be up graded to 10.7.x. Below I have reproduced the "Hatter " method instructions that I have used successfully. If your MBP cannot boot from and install 10.6.8 then it is a no go situation.
    Upgrade 10.6.8 to 10.7 or 10.8
    Use a maintenance utility like Yasu or Cocktail to prepare existing internal Mac OSX  HDD.
    Clone the internal Mac partition to an external HDD with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Restart from the cloned external HDD and select it as the startup volume via System Preferences / Startup Disk.
    Install 10.7 or 10.8 on the cloned external HDD replacing 10.6.8 or 10.7.x.
    Install 10.7.x or 10.8.x updates on the external HDD
    Restart the updated 10.7.x or 10.8.x  external HDD and test and adjust the preferences if needed.
    When satisfied, clone only  the 10.7.x or 10.8.x  external HDD back to the existing internal Mac HDD replacing 10.6.8 or 10.7.x  but don't include the recovery partition.
    The Boot Camp partition will not be altered as to drive id which appeared to cause problems for a few people.
    The recovery partition will be on the ext HDD and can be used for trouble shooting. A more convenient way to have the recovery/reinstallation environment is to create a Lion install USB thumb drive.

  • Can I run dota 2 on my MacBook Pro

    Do you guys think i can run DOTA 2 with my macbook pro (13 inch, Mid 2009)?
    OS X Yosemite
    Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB

    With only 2 GB of RAM, it might not work too well. Try it and if you have problems, add RAM.
    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

  • I tried to run BootCamp on my new macbook pro, but i could not partition because of an apparent bad sector

    I tried to run BootCamp on my new macbook pro, but i could not partition because of an apparent bad sector.
    I reformatted the macbook, but the mac could not even boot up Mac OS Lion.
    As such, I had to go down to my retailer and reinstall Lion.
    What exactly went wrong?

    When I tried to bootcamp a few days ago, the partition could not work.
    My technician told me that there is a bad sector.
    So he reformatted, and Lion disaappeard. There was no O.S at all.
    I went down to my retailer just now.
    They ran a system check on the RAM, and the HDD.
    They did not find any bad sector, and everything was okay.
    They reinstalled Lion and now its okay again
    But I'm afraid to try and bootcamp again because they same thing might happen?

  • What version of LR should I choose to run it on a 2008 macbook pro OS 10.5 (updated with 8GB RAM)

    As it says in the title: I want to run LR on my 2008 macbook pro OS 10.5 (updated with 8GB RAM). Adobe support told me that it would not be a problem, yet i'm confronted with a com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1. I have no idea what it is or how to solve it.
    Can you please help me? Thank you.

    You will not be able to use a LR 5 key on an older LR. While an intermediate version of OS X may be easier on your system and may allow a newer version of LR than LR3, if it is not current you still have to get that old version of LR from an alternate channel.
    If you have an easy way to clone your system I would try upgrade you Yosemite and putting LR 5 on it since you have a key. If it doesn't perform to your satisfaction you can always clone back to 10.5 and seek an alternate solution.
    However, was the LR 5 key owned by your previous job along with that other laptop? If so, it violates the license for you to use it.

  • Hello, Trying to run Bootcamp on my 15" Macbook Pro (Maverick).60 gig available on my computer's hard drive and 250 gig on a separate hard drive that I have attached which is single partitioned. Keeps saying "The startup disk does not have enough space"

    Hello,
    I'm trying to run Bootcamp on my 15" Macbook Pro (Maverick). I have 60 gig available on my computer's hard drive and have 250 gig on a separate hard drive that I have attached, which is single partitioned (MS-DOS FAT). It keeps saying "The startup disk does not have enough space, you must have 28 gig of free space available" Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for the advice Bob The Fisherman. I'm just reading what turbostar has kindly written and it appears that perhaps, if I take advice from you both, I need to free more space up on the computer's hard drive?
    With the external hard drive; would it be advisable to defragment? Know of any defrag freeware for Mac OSX?
    Many thanks to you both.

  • Safari is running very slowly on my MacBook Pro.

    Safari is running extremely slowly on my MacBook Pro.  It often pinwheels t often pinwheels and then gets stuck so that I have to force quit or reload the pages.  I went to the genius bar and they found nothing but reloaded the entire operating system.  It still isn't working.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks. That helped a lot. Defeats the purpose of the update though.

  • I would like to leave my iMac on Snow Leapord to use Power PC software, and run Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro. I am getting an iPhone 5. Is there a way to use mail on all of them?

    I would like to leave my iMac on Snow Leapord to use Power PC software, and run Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro. I am getting an iPhone 5. Is there a way to use mail on all of them with the same accounts?

    Any IMAP e-mail account can be accessed from all devices just fine. You don't need to upgrade from Snow Leopard to be able to access an IMAP e-mail account. However, Snow Leopard won't have built-in support for iCloud. As mende1 points out, you can still read your iCloud e-mail from Snow Leopard, but you have to set it up manually. You won't be able to do things like sync your iCloud calendar or addresses with iCal or Address Book on the iMac, though.

  • Will Color run properly on a 2010 macbook pro 15 i7

    Will Color run properly on a 2010 macbook pro 15 i7.
    Color minimum display requirements are 1680-by-1050 resolution or higher; dual displays are highly recommended. The Macbook Pro 15 i7 comes with 1440 X 900.
    What does this means, I won't be able to run Color?
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks!!

    You can always launch the application and see what happens. Otherwise we'd still all be banging rocks together and making grunting sounds.... oh, wait a minute.
    Anyway, a 15" 1440x900 won't be very much fun. There is a hack that will allow COLOR to run on a sub-requirement display, but it strains the system resources in a major way, plus the user interface does not scale -- all the radio buttons and dialogues will be almost unreadable. The other deal is that some on-board GPUs are not compatible with COLOR at all. Most laptops are nVidia, and there are other issues around that.
    FT/COLOR was designed with an absolute minimum 17" single screen (1920x1200) in mind, more preferably dual screen (DVI, not FireWire), one or both of which should be 23", and -- * to achieve useable productivity* -- dual screen plus an HD-SDI Video I/O card (eg Kona3) to display calibrated material on a grade monitor.
    That's who the developers originally had in mind, and priced the stand-alone offering accordingly.
    FTHD was $5K+, and the 2K version, which you now get packaged with FCS and is actually now capable of 4K, was around $27K+(support contract).
