Installed MacBook Pro Update 2.0 *Problems Now*
Software update asked to install MacBook Pro Update 2.0 and now my MacBook Pro 13 2.5 i5 16gb Ram fails to wake from sleep when I open the lid, machine also hans with beachballs when tasking the Finder, switching applications, opening and closing them.
I have tried to repaid disk permissions, resetting PRAM, and booting with extentions disabled, the system still exhibiting the same problem.
Anyone have an idea how to get this fixed without wiping the Mac?
Anyone else experiancing this problem ?
Thanks.
Yes as I mentioned in the first post, I did try that.
Apple told me I would have to ship the computer on my dime ( for the second time ) because they do not offer shipping exchange in Canada.
This is the second time I will have to pay the shipping cost for repairs on this laptop; it basically will have added $125 to the price.
Really unhappy.
Probably will be my last Mac.

MacBook Pro Update 2.0 on MBP15R both HDMI and internal displays go black and useless
I installed MacBook Pro Update 2.0. When I plug in an HDCP-capable HDMI monitor the MBP15R's screen promptly goes all-black and useless (except for a cursor arrow, which moves but does nothing) and the external display mirrors the same thing. (The internal screen transitions through an all-blue screen first.)
How do I get my screens back? MBP15R is mostly useless to me this way. It worked fine before update 2.0. How do I get this fixed?I'm still reluctant to give up on that bricked machine... Since it is able to display part of the boot up messages of the arch install cd and the previously working installation showed everything until loading of the virtual console (at least that's what I believe it did when the screen went black), it looks to me that the problem lies in initializing a different graphical output. That would also explain why I was able to initialize X only with the fbdev driver... and the screen didn't flicker during boot-up when I did radeon.modeset=0 so I assume it stayed on framebuffer mode all along.
Does anyone know of a boot medium that boots into framebuffer video mode even though a GPU is present? All I'd need is a bash or similar shell. I can load into the UEFI shell with arch install CD, but I'm not familiar with that shell and it follows a different syntax than I am used to, as it is designed for an entirely different purpose. If anyone knows a boot medium that does not try to pipe the graphical output through the gpu (or the integrated i915 graphics). Must be something like this around?

I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is slow in starting up and loads a number of probrams. How can I fix the problem?
Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the slowness still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.
Reboot normally and test. -

Install maverik on my MacBook Pro, I had no problem. Two days later I was shut down suddenly and reboot with a closed padlock and asking me for a password that does not match any of mine. What can I do?
Try booting to the Recovery drive, running Disk Utility and Repair disk and Repair Permissions.
1. Reboot and immediately hold down command and R (two keys).
2. When you see the screen shown on this page, select Disk Utility and continue.
3. When DU is running, select the hard drove on the left, First Aid and Repair Disk.
4. After Repair Disk, click Repair Permissions.
Quit DU and restart. -

Do you have MMS turn on in Settings?
Are you provisioned by your carrier to use MMS?
Lastly, give your phone carrier a call, as MMS is a carrier feature. -
MacBook Pro Update 2.0 & Minecraft
I installed the new MacBook Pro Update 2.0, everything seems fine except if i press f11 to make MInecraft go full screen my mac crashes, anyone else have this problem?
A solution I've found that seems promising is to (sadly) force Minecraft to use the integrated graphics card instead of the Nvidia.
You can use gfxCardstatus (freeware, open source) to force using the integrated card: http://gfx.io
Of the main indicators that the nvidia card might be the problem was messages like this in the console after a crash going to fullscreen:

This is the sort of thing that is probably up to Mojang to fix, although I'm only seeing the problem playing feed the beast (which requires 1.4.7), and I haven't seen it playing 1.5.2 with the new launcher, so ths might also be the sort of thing that's just fixed by having the latest version. -
I have had my MacBook Pro for almost 4 years now. How do i permanently delete my deleted files?
I have had my MacBook Pro for almost 4 years now. How do i perminantly delete deleted files?
Your situation is not good, then. You will need to erase your hard drive and start anew. Boot from your installer DVD for the OS X version you have installed on it.
I hope you have backups because it's not likely you can backup at this point.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc. Insert the disc into the
optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the
"C" key. Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the
dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, set the format type to Mac
OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current. -
Just bought a Macbook Pro 13" 2.3 GHz, now what do I need?
Just bought the Macbook Pro 13" 2.3 GHz, now what software or downloads do I need to add. I am a college student at UW Madison and I will be using my macbook everyday for studying, writing papers, listening to music, surfing the internet, etc. Any suggestions?
Hi w,
Good school.
You'll definitely need something to open/create Office documents. Check with school, they have either a free or very cheap student version available, or there are other third party versions available.
Download/install Flash, Flip4Mac, Perian, VLC.
Run Software Update (in Apple menu).
I prefer Firefox to Safari, but that's subjective. You may want to download at and see for yourself.
Learn how to use everything you can now, as your time will likely become precious once classes begin.
Good luck to you. -
I just bought a new MacBook Pro this summer and was all excited. But I'm very frustrated right now because I can't connect to any external monitors through VGA. My thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to HDMI works just fine, but when I try with my other connector to go from Thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to VGA, Nothing works. my screen goes blue and changes size like it recognized something but nothing is ever detected on the external moniter or projector. I'm not sure what is wrong but it's very frustrating. I'm just very depressed that it worked just fine with my 2-year-old MacBook Pro but isn't working now. I'm running OS X 10.8.2. I just upgraded yesterday from 10.8.1 but that upgrade did nothing to fix my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks
I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.
^^^
that is the same problem i am having! if anyone can help that would be great i'm losing my mind over here -
Hello
THIS IS RAZA
I GOT A MACBOOK PRO
I HAVE A PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS how to solve this problem i have uploaded in .... all the time few days later on i face this problem in safari..... anyone can help me please.....thanksThis is a scam. Do not phone these people, at best they will charge you for unnecessary 'cleaning' and at worst they will gain access to your Mac and steal your data. You've probably managed to install some 'adware' which is producing this fake warning. 'Adwaremedic' should remove it and is safe to use - please see
