Issue of Clock resetting-MacBook Pro

I use MacBook Pro and have installed Win 8. I have this issue of clock setting which sets as +5 1/2 hrs after every logoff. The time update does not happen automatically though i have tried several others in the drop down list other than time.windows.com. Any fix

The problem is in the syncronisation to internet time settings. As i logoff and logon the time though selected Indian Time is showing as +5 1/2 hours. When i manually sync to internet time settings by selecting time.windows.com or time.nist.gov, it says that an error has occured and when i try the second time to sync it syncs and the perfect time for india is displayed.

    Will the new 10.6.8 update fix SATA3 issues related with 2011 MacBook Pros?

    It is against TOU to speculate on these message board.  Suggest you post your question on the Mac Rumors site.
    As I already stated, there is no 10.6.8 update.  If there was, it would be listed in Software Update.

  • ExpressCard (PCIe) hot-swapping issue only happened in MacBook Pro 6.1

    ExpressCard (PCIe devices) with hot-swapping issue only happened in MacBook Pro 6.1. But there is no this issue at all in MacBook Pro 3.1 and MacBook Pro 5.2.
    I had tried ExpressCard to SATA2 Adapter (Silicon Image 3132 ASIC), ExpressCard to 1394 Adapter (TI XIO 2200 ASIC), ExpressCard to USB3.0 Adapter (NEC D720200 ASIC) and ExpressCard to SDXC/UHS-I Adapter (JMicron JMB389 ASIC). I had got Kernel Panic (Sytem Crashed) for ExpressCard to SATA2 Adapter, Other three devices can not be detected when we process hot-plug / hot-removal these ExpressCard (PCIe devices).
    We expect Apple can solve ExpressCard (PCIe) issue by updating EFI / OS Software. Awaiting for your kind reply~ Thanks in advance!

  • Battery issues on the 17" Macbook Pro

    Is anyone else having issues with the battery on their 17" MacBook Pro?
    I see that there is a recall on the 15" model but nothing for the 17".
    I have been having issues with the computer shutting off unannounced when on DC power. It will only run for a couple of minutes and the time that it will run is getting shorter and shorter.
    Also, after shutting down (hard shutdown, saves nothing) the battery won't fully charge.
    This morning I put the computer to sleep to head into work. I pulled it out of my case to plug it up and begin my workday and the computer seemed to sit funny. I look under it thinking it was on a cord or something, turns out the battery has expanded. It is about an inch thick on one side.
    I've had the machine less than a year but of course it's past the 90 days of free phone support (which is a crock BTW--90 days....***???? ) I called, because I actually do have the 3 year extended support but didn't have the number with me, I assumed they would have it on file, since they did sell it to me. Long story short, they of course didn't have it, I have it but it's at home, but they'd be glad to help me for $49.95 support fee.........***??
    So, how does one go about getting their battery replaced when it is obviously defective and htey don't have their extended support agreement with them? I can do it when I get home today, but I'd like to be able to ge it done ASAP so I can actually use this as it was intended.....a portable computer.
    I think it's funny all the commercials they have poking fun at PC's yet I've had a lot more issues with OS-X and this Intel based machine than I have with any of my previous PC notebooks.

    Yes.
    My MBPRo 17" (bought it in June) suddenly started switching off at 30-40% charge. Called Apple, got told to reset the PMU (or SMU, can't remember) and zap the PRAM, and then recalibrate. Did all that, but it didn't help. The computer abrubtly went to sleep at 35% last night, and now this morning when I plug in the power, the battery isn't recognized.
    I'll call Apple tomorrow, and expect them to send me a new battery as this one is obviously dead.

  • After system date/time reset macbook pro can't open any programs and access system preferences

    Hi,
    Booted my macbook pro 2009 and the time was reset to 2001, a prompt asked me to change settings or else the computer might function erratically. So i changed the date and time settings as suggested but then suddenly it stopped working. I restarted the computer but i could no longer open any programs. My dock was gone, the screen background was changed back to the original and i couldn't access the system preferences. Every time i click on the apple icon the screen just refereshes and that's it.
    My laptop hasn't been turned off for the last 48 hrs before this happened.  i was working and uploading huge files to dropbox and since my internet connection was really slow, i had to keep it on so it would upload continously. Was thinking this might have caused some malfunction.
    Has anyone experienced this kind of issue?

    You need to charge the computer, perhaps the battery went dead.
    Do a SMC and PRAM reset, see if that assists.
    Also hold the shift key after that upon boot, that will fix things
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3046
    If you get into your account, see if system preferences opens and try to set the time and date, align with Apple's servers, reset the screen saver and desktop picture see if it holds upon a reboot
    If not your going to have to delete your
    com.systempreferences.plist
    file in your
    "User"/Library/Preference folder
    Reboot the machine and then open System Preferences and reset your preferences.
    Now in 10.6, the "User"/Library/Preference folder is not hidden
    In 10.7 the "Users"/Library/Preferences folder IS hidden
    so in 10.7 you need to use the Finder > Go To Folder and type
    /Library/Preferences
    and click OK
    Then scoll down to the  file above, there will be two of them perhaps, one is a lock file the other one you can Trash, so do that and reboot.

  • ISight Issues on Late 2008 MacBook Pro-Please Help

    I am having issues where my iSight Camera will work and then not work. This happens in all applications that use the iSight. I have tried resetting the PMU, zapping the PRAM, and creating another user and logging in as that user...all with the same results. I wanted to know if there was some other fix I could try as this is my second replacement MacBook Pro. The first one I got Apple replaced because of manufacturing defects (slanted keyboard and loose battery door) a week after I bought it and now this replacement one which is less the three months old has a bad iSight camera. I really don't want to send it in for repair so if there is another fix I can try, please let me know. I am getting really frustrated with Apple's lack of quality these days.

    Final relevant suggestion from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    "If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

  • Internet issues on my new Macbook Pro.

    I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on an issue I have been having! I've just got a new Macbook Pro, so late 2011 model and ever since having it I have had issues with the internet. Forgive me if I'm not able to explain very well what is going on, but ill give it my best shot.
    So I'm Wi-Fi to connect, which is on a 10mb connection, and using Safari on the Mac. When I first open Safari, the apple home page loads straight away no issue. I tend to be able to use the net for about 10 minutes without any issue. Then, for no reason whatsoever, Ill click on a link or type a web address, and it will take FOREVER to load, sometimes it won't load at all. I'm not talking anything heavy with pics or video, just a standard webpage, it could be anything. The other issue I have, is for example like today, I was on the guardian website, and I opened a few links in some new tabs, probably about 8 in total and the same thing always happens. Some load instantly, some take forever, so fail to open at all. If I turn the Wifi off on the Mac, and literally straight back on again, and refresh any page, it will load instantly (about 80% of the time this works). then after a few minutes same thing happens. Then after a while, it will go back to normal again and so forth and so forth! It's becoming quite frustrating.  The wifi connection isnt lost, its still connected according tot he symbol at the top, it just isnt working.
    The best way I can describe it, is its like the router is getting 'clogged up' and struggles to get any info to my Mac. then after a while, it de-clogs itself and were good to go for a few minutes again.
    I've never had this problem, with my main pc which is connected wirelessly, or even my little netbook I was using as a laptop before this. I was able to open as many links and tabs as I wanted with no issue, and never had hang times like this whilst waiting for anything to open!  There doesnt appear to be an issue with my connection, as every pc, phone and even ps3 can connect without a single issue.  The PS3 will happily stream HD netflix without any issue over wifi
    I'm not sure what is going on! When my Mac is downloading big files, it never seems to have any problems and the d/l speed stays pretty consistent. I've run speediest at various points during various days, and I'm getting a pretty steady 10mb.
    Anyone that can shed any light would be a lifesaver!! I'm hoping there isn't an issue with the Mac however this is getting to the point of unbearable, and im close to returning the **** thing!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Bootcamp windows 8.0 pro installation issue with early 2015 Macbook Pro

    I am having this issue with installing Windows 8.0 pro (and 8.1 pro) on my early 2015 MacBook pro vs. Bootcamp. I have tried different method for  multiple times and all failed. Any help is appreciated.
    Hardware: (1) early 2015 MacBook Pro with 128GB (13 inches) , (2) Sony USB DVD burner. (3) Two 16 gb flash drive 2.0 version from two different manufactures
    Software: (1) 8.0 Pro ISO on flash drive from Microsoft (I have two copies) (2) 8.1 Pro downloaded from Microsoft website.
    Note -  I was able to download the bootcamp supporting files successfully and copy to a USB flash drive.
    Method 1 - Create the installation disk from ISO on flash drive and also tried copying ISO on hard drive (desktop)- failed.
    I have a 16 GB flash drive (2.0V) connected
    ISO is a valid 8.0 pro copy from Microsoft came on a flash drive.
    I have the windows 8.0 pro ISO on a flash drive and plugged in.
    Issue -  It gets to around 50% of "Copying Windows files..." and then doesn't go any further.  8 hours later, still stuck at around 50%.  I also tried to do the copy ISO from desktop. failed as well.
    Method 2 - I repeat the above steps with Windows 8.1 ISO downloaded Microsoft website - failed. Stuck at 50% copying windows file for 9 hours.
    Method 3 - I burned the Windows 8.0 pro ISO to a DVD and try to do the installation through a DVD instead.  DVD was successfully created.
    I was able to perform the partition.  When the computer reboots, it starts the window installation. However, it got stuck at 7% forever. I tried this multiple times and failed.
    Method 4 - I download a 8.1 Pro ISO from Microsoft website, I burned it to a DVD. Repeat method 3,  Again, windows installation stuck at 7%.
    Method 5 - I called Apple. - What they told me is pretty much repeat the above steps. Still failed.

    The ISO file(s) being downloaded seem to be corrupted. Can you use Microsoft FCIV tool - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/841290?wa=wsignin1.0 ?
    The DVDs should be burnt at the recommended rate for the physical media. DU should be used for burning the DVDs.

  • Wipe and reset macbook pro

    I want to wipe and reset my macbook pro, how do I do that?
    And I have purchased OS X lion on App Store, will I be able to download this again after it's wiped?

    If I were you I would simply boot into your Lion Recovery partition (hold down the command and R keys whilst booting) erase your boot partition (usually named Macintosh HD), and the reinstall Lion. Note that you will probably need your Apple ID and password.
    Your Recovery partition won't be erased, but th epartition that you actually 'see' will be erased and all of your apps, data, etc., will be erased and you'll have a clean operating system.

  • How do i reset macbook pro 13" 10.6.8 (mid 2010 startup disk is full

    I got my macbook pro 13" (mid 2010) (10.6.8) back from an ex and now  I am stuck with his user login and I don't know the password. When I try to reset at startup by usingCommand 'O' I =get the message "Delete some files0your startup disk is full. I no longer have the startup discs, so I need help resetting. 
    THANKS A MILLION

    To reset the password:

    Once you have the password reset, see if you can delete some files. If not, you may have to boot into single user mode by holding down the Command and S keys when you start up.

  • Display issues on mid 2009 Macbook Pro

    I have had a recent intermittent display issue on my Macbook pro. It started a few months ago and is not a constant issue. External displays are fine so it seems to point to a connection between grahpics card and the 13" screen.
    You can see an image of the problem here:
    Does anyone have experience of similar issues?

    i've done a complete rebuild back to 10.6.8 and found that both problems appear to have disappeared, both screen and TV working again since this morning without seeing any issues.
    I'm now installing Lion to see if it returns.
    the only difference will be that I'm not going to install bootcamp until later, this will be a clean install as before I installed Lion on a previous version of 10.6.8 with bootcamp etc already installed.
    maybe this will work, wish me luck

  • Used safe start to try and fix issues with safari on MacBook Pro but it shuts down right after it stops. What can I do.

    Safari kept shutting down and someone suggested trying a safe start to correct issue. All this did was create a new oils sue as my MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.1 system only begins the safe start within lay a small portion of the bar filling and then shuts down. Now I cannot even get back to my regular screen.

    artbyval,
    what is an “oils sue”?
    Have you tried booting into your recovery partition? To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilites menu, from which Disk Utility can be selected. In Disk Utility, select the disk that your MacBook Pro boots from (typically named “Macintosh HD”). Once the disk is selected, press the “Verify Disk” button; if it shows problems, press the “Repair Disk” button. Once the verification/repair is complete, restart normally, to see if you can login as normal. Once you can log in again, see if Safari still has the same problem with shutting down.

  • Display Issues on Early 2011 Macbook Pro

    I am currently experiencing an undocumented problem for my 15 inch Macbook Pro (Early 2011 Version), and was hoping to get some help diagnosing what the issue might be.
    Lately, it seems that whenever I am doing anything that is computationally expensive (i.e. streaming video using Flash or Silverlight, or using parallel processing in MATLAB), my screen goes haywire and shows up noisy green lines on anything that is supposed to black. Similarly I get noisy light blue lines on anything that is supposed to be white. I am including a pictures below to illustrate the issue.
    I have tried several fixes, but nothing has worked to day. Changing the color profile does not change anything. Taking a screenshot does not change anything. Also, the issue seems to pop up regardless of whether or not I have the onboard graphics card enabled. I am also fairly certain that this is a hardware issue, since I reinstalled Lion and updated all of my software after it first started happening. 
    I would appreciate any input in regards to further diagnosing the problem. I have an appointment coming up at the local Mac store, but I'm almost dreading going in since I do not want to have to send the computer in for repair.

    i've done a complete rebuild back to 10.6.8 and found that both problems appear to have disappeared, both screen and TV working again since this morning without seeing any issues.
