  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

  • Macbook pro not working without battery

    my macbook pro not working if i remove the battery
    & if the battery is empty my macbook pro not working before charging

    Try an SMC reset:

    You should not run on AC with the battery removed. The MBP should work that way, but the OS throttles back the CPU so running like that is not recommended.

  • Built-in camera macbook pro not working

    Hi guys,
    lately the built-in camera on my macbook pro hasn't been working properly: at first it works normally then after a while it stops (the green light stays on) and when I open photo booth or other programmes it says "camera not connected", how can I fix this?
    Thanks

    One of these will fix your problem:
    (1) If restarting your Mac doesn't fix the problem,
    (2) use Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090.
    (BTW - Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
    Be sure to test more than one Apple app in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the "Guest" account for this test.  If you do not have more than one user account for the testing, create a new one now.  If you need help, here's how to do it in your Mac OS:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468  (A "Standard" account is all you need for testing.)
    (3) If your cam still does not work properly, use Disk Utility to repair permissions.  Then download and apply the latest Combo Update for your OS.  Currently, the latest ML Combo is here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1571
    Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart that completes the update.
    (4) The only other action I know that you can do on your own is to use OS X Recovery to completely reinstall your Mac OS.
    (5) If none of the above suggestions resolve your trouble, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your Mac professionally serviced.

  • Left USB on MacBook Pro not working.

    I've got a brand new MacBook pro unibody (not the one from WWDC though, I have the one with the removable battery (late 2008 I guess) and the left USB port which is closest to the firewire port doesn't work. The computer is only 3 weeks old and I can't remember if it ever worked, it may have worked with a USB mouse the first time I turned it on but I'm not sure. Since then I've tried it with my iPhone, iPod, external hard drive, 3 different digital cameras and the wired mouse again. It's not even a recognition issue because my iPhone/iPod doesn't even charge when connected! So I guess it's severely underpowered. The only sign of power I've gotten from it is when I plug in the mouse and the mouse's red light flashes twice then disappears.
    I've tried resetting the SMC per Apple's directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    I tried both methods and still nothing. I've also run the hardware test but it found nothing (although I didn't run the long version).
    Any suggestions would be most welcome! I'm thinking of taking back to the store tomorrow though (not an Apple Store, we don't have one here )

    It sounds defective and you need to take it back to an Authorized Apple dealer or repair centre for them to fix it under Warranty.

  • Headphone Jack on MacBook Pro Not Working

    Hello,
    The headphone jack on my MacBook Pro is not working properly.
    When I plug in my earbuds or headphones only one side of the headphone or earbud is working and the other side is "muted".
    I am certain the problem are not my earbuds or headphones because I use them with other devices and they work just fine.
    Can someone help me how to fix it?
    Please and thank you much.

    Go step by step and test.
    1.   System Preferences > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers/Headphone
           Settings for the selected device:
           Balance:
           Make sure that the slider is set at middle.
    2.    AudioMIDI Setup
           Applications/Utilities/ Audio MIDI Setup.app
           Audio Devices window
           Side Bar
           Click the Built-in Output.
          Make sure that CH1 and CH2 volume sliders are matched.
    3.   Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
    4.   Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    Best.

  • Irda in MacBook Pro not work after 10.5.1 update

    You need to perform an Archive & Install of Mac OS X followed by reinstalling other updates applied to that system to uninstall the Mac OS X 10.49 update.

  • Bluetooth from iPhone 3GS to MacBook Pro not working?

    I am having (seemingly) bluetooth connection issues with "some" devices to my MacBook Pro.  I note:
    * Mouse pairs fine
    * iPhone 3GS does not remain connected (focus of this forum question)
    Error - after pairing my iPhone 3GS to my MBP I get an error:
    The Bluetooth Network is Unavailable
    There was an error connecting your device.  Make sure the device is turned on and in range.
    Notes:
    * MacBook Pro details:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro6,2
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.7.3 (11D50b)
    Background: Ultimately interested in teethering my iPhone 3G data connection to my MacBook Pro, but for the moment the bluetooth connection won't even remain in place.

    nothing in these articles helped unfortunately - some more clarification:
    tethering via USB from iPhone 3G to MacBook Pro => WORKS
    tethering via Bluetooth => does NOT work, with bluetooth connectioning not staying up
    During pairing process:
    devices "see each other"
    pairing appears to work, then you see that the connection drops out directly afterwards (almost immediately)
    on iPhone message = "Connection Unsuccessful - XXX's MacBook Pro is not supported"
    on MacBook - it's just the connection in Bluetooth options shows up as not connected
    in /var/log/system I see some bluetooth related lines:
    Apr 18 19:33:14 Gregs-MacBook-Pro bnepd[18950]: [IOBluetoothDevice instantiateChannel] BluetoothHCIAuthenticationRequested failed (0x0006), so retry

    Apr 18 19:33:53 Gregs-MacBook-Pro blued[22]: Removing Bluetooth configured device: 00-26-08-23-23-9d
    Any other ideas?  Is it a physical problem with my MBP?  but then again my bluetooth mouse stays connected ok.  And in terms of the iPhone well it tethers fine to the iPad via bluetooth....

  • IMessage on Macbook Pro not working

    All of a sudden my macbook pro's iMessage stopped working! Every time I'd send a message, a red circle with an exclamation point pops up on the side of the message. Somedays it'll be on and off where i could send iMessages but only receive one on my mac. I already reinstalled os x and deleted everything, but iMessage wouldn't work on my mac. Same goes for FaceTime! When I accept a FaceTime call, the whole window goes to the side and disappear. Help!!!!

    Hi,
    If On, try turning Off the iCloud Keychain item in the System Preferences > iCloud.

  • One speaker on MacBook Pro not working for certain programs?

    When I either receive or place a FaceTime call on my MacBook Pro, the left speaker cuts out audio and produces high static.  The right speaker is fine.  The receiving end can also hear the static feedback, but their two speakers work fine.  I have all my iOS devices setup to receive and place FaceTime calls (iPhone 5s, iPad, and MacBook Pro 15 inch late 2011).  If I place or receive the FaceTime calls on my iPhone or iPad, there is no problem. 
    I've tested the speakers, youtube, iTunes audio, streaming websites, netflix, etc... and all works fine on the MacBook Pro.  Just FaceTime.  I also went into system preferences and the speaker setup is correct (audio in and out - internal speakers).
    I've also restarted, reinstalled Yosemite...still FaceTime left speaker problem.
    I appreciate any troubleshooting advice and/or if others have experienced this problem.
    Thanks!

    The Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac OS X:FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime - Apple Support does not offer much in the way of help for the problem you are having.
    Have you tried going to System Preferences, Sound, Output and playing around with the Balance to see if that makes any difference?
    You might also consider going to FaceTime, Preferences and turn FaceTime OFF and then back ON.
    And to have the system checked, you could take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs see if there is something hardware-wise interfering with FaceTime.

  • Need help one USB Port on MacBook Pro not working

    Its been a weak now and im getting tired of my MacBook pro USB not reading anything.. It wont read/connect usb drives, IPods/IPhones/IPads, and Android phones. I have tried the PRAM and SMC resets and nothing has worked i even left my Macbook pro off for a whole day. ITS ONLY ONE PORT NOT WORKING, i took it to bestbuy because its closest to me but geek squad just did what i explained above and told me get a USB hub and NO! i want to fix this issue... Anyone has had this happen can you let me know if its because the USB port is no longer working or a software issue... Also i keep getting this notification telling me USB devices disabled draining to much power but i have nothing connected!!
    ps- my MacBook Pro is getting very hot fast and it happens when im not even using it, i get home and it very hot could there be another hardware failure i dont leave applications open when i sleep it.

    It sounds like you might have a hardware problem. Your best bet is to go to the Genius Bar. The evaluation is free, and they'll fix it if you're under Applecare. Back up your stuff first though.

  • Making phone calls on Macbook Pro not working

    Hello,
    I have a Macbook Pro 15" late 2013 model which I have updated to Yosemite along with an iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1
    I cannot seem to make phone calls off my Macbook Pro, it just says 'call failed' try again. The screen on my iPhone does not change to the calling screen, nothing happens on the iPhone.
    However, I can receive incoming calls, both FaceTime audio, FaceTime video and normal cellular calls on the Macbook Pro. I just cannot make cellular calls off my mac.
    All my settings are correct, same Wifi, bluetooth all turned on. Same apple ID, cellular setting under FaceTime turn on both mac and iPhone.
    Obiviously it is correct because i can answer phone calls on the macbook, but for some odd reason, my macbook doesn't seem to be communicating with the iPhone when i try to make calls off the macbook.
    Please help, thanks in advance.

    It's possible that it's burned out.  
    I'd try a SMC reset following these instructions:

  • MacBook Pro not working, and I'm in China

    Hello everyone, I am posting on here because there is no way to email customer support and I am currently lacking the ability to make phone calls. Sorry, but I'm about to get a little personal here (note: I added this little note in later after I realized how ridiculous I sounded) - I am currently 48 hours without sleep; that is my excuse. My 4 year old MacBook Pro seems to have sh*t the bed, and the worst possible time. I have just spent every last penny I had to come out here to China to seek bigger and better opportunities and my side kick is this here dead laptop. I don't treat this thing like crap. She's a little banged up, got a cracked screen, but this all happened within the first year or so of getting her (freshman year of college about sums it up), so I assume this has nothing to do with any of those shenanigans. I don't download things, or do whatever else that would make her act this way. I use the Internet, and save Microsoft Word and Powerpoint (downloaded in 2011) documents. That's about all. Everything is on there in that little box that I need, to be out here. Absolutely everything. Most importantly, all of my resume, cover letter, and school information that I need to get my life started out here. I don't speak the language, I don't know anybody, I can't ship this puppy out of here (e v e r y  l a s t  p e n n y [dont worry, my hotel is paid for for the next month, and it's free all you can eat breakfast]) but I'm not getting anywhere without this laptop. And to top it off, an old email address that may have had at least a partial resume on it is locked by Yahoo, and guess what the only way to unlock it is? that's right, I have to call them.
    Please tell me, what are my options? And thank you for taking the time to read my pathetic story. 
    Attachment that won't attach: I press the power button, and a file folder with a question mark blinks on and off for a minute and then she turns off.
