Just ordered new Macbook!

I just ordered a new macbook and I just have a question. I see there are a ton of rsd problems and there are some long waits on repair times. I was just wondering if anyone knows if this is something that is fixed with the new Macbooks that are shipping now, or is this still an issue? Thanks for your help!

Some rumors said that apple silently replacing the heat sink that when it become hot, it expanded and make contact and short the component and caused Macbook to shutdown. Or the heatsink is not that good to absorb the heat and make the MacBook shut down.
A lot of theory up there in this forum, some might be true and some just plain speculation (which is actually not propriate and allowed in this forum).
But from what I see, later Macbook production user is less in this forum to report their MacBook RSD (I'm not saying there isn't any), and I believe apple really listen and try to prevent it happen again in later production or previous one by creating newer firmware updater and maybe replacing parts to prevent the rsd occur anymore.
So Good Luck and enjoy your MacBook, not to worry with a ton of problem you read for there is a lot more happy user that not bother to post their glorious moment with macbook.

Just got new macbook pro, how do you hook up 2nd monitor?

Just got new MacBook Pro, How do you adapt to 2nd monitor?

You will need a Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) cable and an adaptor for the type of connection your monitor requires. You will find the adaptors at Apple's online website.

I just ordered a macbook mc207ll/a online that is running Sow leopard, will I be able to upgrade to yosemite?

Just make sure you update it to 10.6.8 (the last version of Snow Leopard) once you get it if it isn't running it already. Just go to the  menu and then Software Update. This will give you access to the App Store which is needed to download Yosemite.

I just ordered a macbook air today and need to know if the 128gb SSD is enough space. I presently have a macbook pro and am using only 30gb hard drive space so, the apple rep said 128 is enough as I do not load much pictures or gaming etc. Also is i5 ok.

Id choose the I5 yes, depends on what your usage is going to be,
....your question about "128 gig being enough" begs the question for IDEALIZED USE of your macbook AIr
In the case of a Macbook Air with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
*Generally, unless you NEED the data at least once every few weeks or once a month,...it really does'nt NEED to be on the SSD of your Macbook Air.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Ive got more APPS than any human should have on my 128gig AIR,..(50 or so),....and 10gig of working data, important files etc etc.
Still have 82gig available....... the entire point is that someone shouldnt consider the Air a "storage device" for tons of pics, music, vids, etc.
*Never consider any computer a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake that will, without fail, strike.
For needs of packing around a LOT of "big data" with your Air in its case..., get a nice 1TB HD for $70, or even a 2TB drive not much bigger.
Perfect 2TB HD, very slim, the "little giant" made by Toshiba (have several of these) $119

Just boought new MacBook- Flickers when on battery power.... take it back?

Just boought new MacBook- Flickers (brightness) when running on battery power, is this normal or should I take it back to the Apple store?

If you talking about your screen getting little dimmer on battery than with power cord plugged in, that's normal. But if your screen flickers all the time, no that's not normal. I would say take it to an Apple store, and have them look at it.
My mac started to flicker after 6 months or so, I too thought it may be normal, but when I took it in for something else, they noticed it and got it fixed.

Just bought new macbook air, where do i find iWork?

just bought new macbook air, where do i find iWork?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iWork applications (Numbers, Pages and Keynote) do not come preinstalled. Instead, you have to download them from the Mac App Store, so open the Mac App Store, choose Purchases at the top and you should see iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, Numbers, Keynote and Pages as waiting to be accepted, so accept them. Note that you need OS X Mavericks.
If you do not see the iWork applications in the Purchases tab, see > http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/
(You can check which OS X version you are using in  > About this Mac. 10.9 is OS X Mavericks, and 10.8 is OS X Mountain Lion. If you are using OS X Mountain Lion, first you need to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store and upgrade).

Just ordered 2015 Macbook Pro

So I just ordered the new 13inch Macbook pro retina early 2015 model.
I chose the following specs;
2.7ghz i5 Processor - Will this be suitable for my needs and what about longevity/futureproof? It was another £68 with education pricing to go to the 2.9Ghz.....
16gb RAM - Maxed out! - Or is this overkill... I heard this on a PC review site
128gb storage - Now when I ordered I was going to just stick to an external HDD just incase I ever needed the extra storage as my current laptop stands at 70gb on it... from reading some forums they suggest that the 128gb is slower than the 256gb model?
I play the Sims occasionally and will purchase sims 4, and I will be using the laptop for web browsing, Skype, spotify and university work - spreadsheets and word docs. - Oh and downloading HD movies/TV series.
Will this laptop be enough for my needs, I cant see long term that I would need to change the way I use the laptop in terms of the software that I will be using.
I bought the Macbook on a total impulse purchase and now I'm trying to make sure I made the right decision.
Thanks in advance,
Lauren

Will this laptop be enough for my needs
Personally, I would've purchased the MacBook Pro with the built-in optical SuperDrive. I love the ability to watch movies on airline flights. On the way out the door I just grab a few DVDs off the shelf.
Otherwise, you can buy an external optical drive. Sometimes I see these duct-taped to the bottom of MacBooks that don't have a built in optical drive.

Just order new imac... was it smart

I just ordered a new imac computer with quad core i5. 2.8 Ghz processor 1 gig video card and 8 gig of ram 27 inch screen. Now all the boards and rumors are saying the new thunderbolt on macbooks and I undersand it wont be backwards compatible. Did I do a not so smart thing. I want the new ipad and gonna get the next iphone when it comes out so I will be going all mac. Just having 2nd thoughts on maybe I moved too fast for an imac. But then again will anyone ever keep up with tech? Your thoughts?

I just went through that decision process a few days ago. I ended up ordering a refurbished 2.93 i7 and 16GB Samsung memory from OWC. I have already received the memory and the iMac is scheduled to be delivered on Monday (Feb 28).
I was going to wait for the new iMacs and decided not to do so for a couple of reasons:
1. The first release of any product usually has a high failure rate and the Apple products are no exception. Unless you actually like being on the bleeding edge it is better to wait a while. Most of the pervasive bugs in the current i7 line have been worked out.
2. There are only a couple of things that may be in the new iMacs that I could use...Sandybridge and Thunderbolt.
I did an extensive comparison between the current i7 and an i7 Sandybridge and decided that for my use Sandybridge would only give me a slight increase in speed.
I also think that Thunderbolt has a good chance of succeeding, but like all new I/O 'standards' it will take a while for it to gain traction. Products that work well with it will be few and far between for a while, maybe a year or more.
Only time will tell if I made the "Right" choice, but in this instance there is no "Wrong" choice.

Just bought new MacBook Pro and can't get FCP Studio to load on it. Any Help!

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I tried to load FCP Studio on it and it says it does not support it. I use FCP Studio 2 and I need to use it as I don't know FCP X. Any suggestions. I currently have FCP Studio 2 on a 2008 Mac Pro with Maverick on it.
Thanks, Gale

Final Cut Studio 2? That's 8 years old...4 OS versions ago. Mavericks doesn't take FCP 7 into account, much less FCP 6. In fact, to even install FCP 6 onto the PREVIOUS OS, Mountain Lion, you had to hack the terminal, or install Pacifist and do some shenanigans to get it to recognize the installer.
In short, it's very difficult to get older, discontinued software to work on new computers with new OSs. If you need to use FCP 6, then you need to stick to older computers and OS's that run it.
It is on your 2008 MBP because, no doubt, you upgraded the OS around the already installed apps. I'm not sure how well it will work.

HT201364 just purchased new macbook pro retina and not able to download osx mavericks.is this problem common?

I have just purchased a new macbook pro retina and I am unable to download OSX Mavericks.I would be grateful of any help with this.

The available download is not able to boot your Mac because of the newer hardware in that Mac. When Apple releases an update that has the necessary drivers, you should be able to download it.
The versions provided in Recovery will be able to boot your Mac if you need to reinstall.

Just ordered new Mini... how do I move my info/programs over

Good evening.
I just ordered a new Mini. I already have one of the older models. When I get my new one, how do I move my programs/data to my new mini? Is this a fairly easy process?
I also have a minimate connected to my current mini. Once I get everything moved over and plug in the mini, will it recognize the minimate and handle everything on it as if nothing had changed (or close to it)?
Thanks for the help.

All you need is a FireWire cable to connect the two Macs & the Setup Assistant will walk you through the process. If you don't want to do it during the initial setup of your new Mac mini, you can use the Migration Assistant later to move what you want. You can even do a combination, use the Setup Assistant to move users & settings & move anything else later.

Just got new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now whenAudio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do?

Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

Just Ordered a Macbook! YAY!

I just ordered a white macbook. I put in 100GB hard drive and left it at 512 MB, ill be upgrading it to 2 GB with 3rd party ram. Anyone have any suggestions of a good Microphone for it for Garageband?
Thanks!

it depend where you want to plug it in.
if it is for your usb port, then the first reply point a good model.
I use Shure SM 58 for vocal, and shure SM 57 for instrument like acoustic guitar or infront of guitar amp. No reference for drum yet, since I use mBox and or garage band that limit only 2 simultanious track input through mBox or built in audio in.
PS: the mBox setting I use is on my eMac, since my mBox Pro Tools is not supported the MacBook intel yet. but I use the shure on both of eMac and MacBook garage band

Just ordered new calls package / line rental. Do I...

Hi All,
I've just ordered a new phone package from BT which includes line rental.
The activation date isn't until 28th March which is fine but do i need to cancel my old phone package and line rental with sky?

Hi d80adc,
I would at least notify your current supplier that your leaving and tell them what date your new service is estimated to be activated.
Cheers
