Is there a big difference from the 2009 vs 2011 Macbook pro 15?

I also would like to know if there is a big difference between the 2009 vs 2011 macbook Pro 15"?If so is it enough to make me want a BRAND NEW MACBOOK PRO 15"?

Yes!
The new macbook pro has:
1. Faster processors, with option for QUAD Core!
2. Thunderbolt!
3. Larger harddrive
4. Better camera (HD)
Also, Lion is now available! If you buy the old one, you would have to pay extra to upgrade to lion later.

Is there any way to adjust the equalizer on my macbook pro?

I just got a brand new macbook pro, and was really dissapointed with the audio coming out of the speakers. My last laptop was also a macbook pro from three years ago, and that one had way better speakers. I'm hearing way too much high mids, and very little bass coming out of the speakers on this one, and it's really really noticeable. I know the speakers on these aren't supposed to be amazing, but the huge difference from the last generation of macbook pros makes me wonder if there's just something wrong with my new computer... Does anyone know if there's any way to adjust this, or can anyone at least confirm that the speakers are just way worse than the last generation?

All the laptops have poor sound, not surprising really considering the half inch speakers driven by less tha 2W, spend any amount you like on an external pair, even the cheapest will outperform the internals.

TS1501 transferring a small batch of photos from the new ipad to macbook pro (this way you can upload one album at a time, file them into a new album on macbook pro) Pls. advise.

How can I transfer a small batch of photos from the new ipad to macbook pro? In theory, I should be able to keep my albums together this way (once uploaded to macbook pro, i can easily file them into a new album on macbook pro.) Not working for me! Macbook pro does include iphoto. I had no problem uploading ALL photos (3 or 4,000.) Help! Goal is to keep albums together.

Hi all,
Goal: Backing up photos!
Hope: Transfer ALBUMS from ipad to external drive (via macbook pro)
Is this possible? Or will I have to create a file name for each of my thousands of photos?
UGH!
HELP!

HT204347 is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found?

Is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found. I purchased this on Ebay and it functioned fine for 6 months and then it comes on with a blank screen.

On mine at least, it's etched into the bottom cover. It's very tiny and on the screen hinge side of the casing.

Hey guys, I was wondering ... is there a big difference between the 16 gig ram and the 8 gig for the retina series?? hardest thing I do on a laptop is play need for speed on 1080p resolution.... thanks

hey guys I was wondering ... will there be a big difference between the 8 gig and 16 gig versions of the pro retina series??? the hardest thing i do is play need for speed and program using c++...thanks

That RAM is soldered in. No sockets. No upgrading later.
Your question is:
¿Will I EVER need the 16GB in the time I expect to own this MacBook?
--NO, save $200 and if you ever run short, sell the machine and buy a different one.
--ELSE, spend the extra US$200 and don't think about it again.

How do I restore from the icloud to my MacBook Pro?

I am not seeing how to RESTORE from iCloud back to my MacBook Pro... how do I do this? My Harddrive died a few weeks ago and I want to recover whatever I have in the cloud.

Howdy Mdelrusso,
It sounds like you are wanting to restore from your iCloud backup to your MacBook Pro.
iCloud backups are for iOS devices, and does not backup Mac computers.
What iCloud backs up

With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.

Time Machine is what Mac computers use to backup and restore data. Here is some more info about what Time Machine is and how it works.

Is there a way to turn the GPS on my MacBook Pro off?

How do I turn the GPS on my MacBook Pro off? Everytime I log onto iCloud to find my iPhone it pops up too.

Your MBP does not have GPS. iCloud is locating your machine by getting gelocation information from the IP address,

Does a connector from the Solo 15 to MacBook Pro exist?

Is anyone familiar with the Solo 15 from Brunton? If so can you let me know if an appropriate connector for a MacBook Pro exist? I've been trying for years to connect my Mac to Brunton's SolarRolls without any success. Now I'm thinking of getting Bruton's Solo 15 pwer pack but that still leaves me with the problem of connecting the Solo 15 to the Mac. The problem is the new Mag safe connector. No one seems to have come up with an adaptor for the new connector. I have no problem charging my wife's IBook G4 with the Brunton Solar panels because the IBook G4 uses the older type connector for which there are adaptors available. Any ideas that might help me work around these problems?
Thanks
John

That's because Apple has not licensed out the design. There are no 'official' 3rd party power adapters. The link you found is a guy that cuts the MagSafe plugs off Apple adapters and splices them to other power supplies.

It seems like there is something wrong with the USB of retina macbook pro

My mac is macbook pro with retina. It seems like there is something wrong with the USB. It cannot detect my amazon kindle, IBM CD driver and mp3 player, though it works well with U Disk and HDD. I don't know why.

How do I download previous music purchases from the Cloud to my Macbook Pro?

I recently purchased my first Apple computer, but have been a longtime iPod user, and as of this past February an iPhone user. So upon getting my new Macbook Pro, I of course began to sync what songs I had purchased from iTunes on my old Windows computers, and iPod and iPhone, that were supposed to be stored in the Cloud. Well, as I've been importing all the physical CD's i own, I began to notice that some of my iTunes purchases hadnt downloaded from the Cloud. So now I've gone through my iPod to see what songs are missing and which aren't. I know now that I am missing two full albums, as well as what I think is another 25+ single songs I've downloaded, and unfortuantely I cannot figure out how to retrieve them for the life of me. I'm very frustrated that all my purchases didnt show up from the Cloud in the first place! Any help?

Is there a serial number for the battery for a Macbook Pro 17" (2008 or later)???, Is there a serial number for the battery for a Macbook Pro 17" (2008 or later)???

My Battery had a meltdown in my Macbook pro last summer. I was fortunate enough that I removed it before any real damage was done to my computer, however I'm not sure of the correct model of my computer or where to find the correct battery for it. I want to be sure I don't buy the wrong replacement for it. Do all the Macbook pro's use the same battery from 2008 til now??? Please help!!!!!!! I'm tired of always having to be plugged in...lol
THANKS!!!!

HT5085 I bought music on my iPhone and cannot download from the cloud to my macbook pro.

I have done this in the past with no problem. My computer is a Macbook Pro and is activated for my itunes account. I manually search or the songs Ive bought on my iphone and can see it says purchased but its grey and not clickable. I dont understand why I cannot download them from the cloud into my computer.

What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
Or if you want music that you buy on your phone to automatically download on your phone then you can use automatic downloads : Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) - that will only apply to new purchases made after you turn it 'on'

A weird ticking sound from the base of my macbook pro?

My macbook pro was bought in October 2011 but I think it's the Early 2011 edition. It's an 15 inch. My problem is that I hear a weird ticking noise coming from the base of the computer. It sounds like it is coming from under the keyboard and the mouse pad. I usually hear it whenever I move it around or place my hands on the hand rest spot(?) when I'm typing. Anybody know if I should be worried or how to fix it? The sound is really annoying... Let it be known that I baby my macbook pro. I have never dropped it on the floor or slammed it on a table or something.
Thank you in advance
P.S. If it matters, I'm running on
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2.

That could be the stepping motor in the hard drive making noise. Sometimes the noise means nothing, other times it could mean a problem with the hard drive and it could fail soon. Could be a fan out of allignment. If you can backup your data, do so. If you an get to an Apple genius bar, take it in and have the techs run some tests to find out what the noise is.

Why won't PDF files print from the internet on my MacBook Pro?
