Just tell me straight. Do the 17" Macbook Pros have the whine or not ?

I am so frustrated hearing about people having issues with whine. imac intel inspite of being almost as compact absolutely doesn't have any whine issues. It's just wonderful. Until a couple of days ago, almost everybody was saying 17" didn't have the whine. I want to know this straight....do they have the whine or not?

I have had my 15" MBPro, 2.16 GHZ, 7200 RPM 100G since mid-March, and it belonged to a batch that was supposed to have been "affected." Early on, the only problem I had was a tilted eject key which the Apple store fixed. I have never seen flicker at low light or heard a whine on this unit. It's not my hearing, as I have had others check my unit as well including my young kids who can hear higher pitches better than adults. It did get hot, but the highest I record using Temperature Monitor was 41C and after the firmware update yesterday I cannot see anything higher than 35.
Maybe I am just incredibly lucky, but I also wonder whether some combinations of the processor (2.0 vs 2.16) and hard drive (5400 vs 7200) were more conducive to whines and heat than others...it would be hard to imagine why the 17" would be different except for those factors. My iMac also has none of these issues.

    If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
    then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
    hence why i have 3 now
    hard to believe you cannot combine into one
    oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
    thanks

  • Just bought a mid 2012 13 in macbook pro. Battery life is only 3 hours. Thoughts?

    Just bought a mid 2012 13 in macbook pro. Battery life is only 3 hours. I was under the impression that it would last 7 hours. This is with normal internet browsing and text editing. my brightness is not all the up and bluetooth is off. Thoughts?

    im having the same problems, bought my 13" MacBook Pro last week and the battery is terrible on it, but i googled it and a lot of other people are having the same issues

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA isn't working. It won't recognize any external monitor. It worked just fine with my older spring 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, but now with my brand new 2012 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, it no longer works

    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

    You don't need to start a new thread to continue a conversation, you can just tack onto the original one. The settings I referred you to are for the Blackberry, since that's the device which is not receiving mail: anything which is working can be left alone.

  • I have just upgraded to 10.8 on my macbook pro and now I can't access itunes, videos and there is no sound - anyone help?

    I have just upgraded to 10.8 on my macbook pro and now I can't access itunes, videos and there is no sound - anyone help?
    It is an old macbook pro probably 6yo with the back lit keys - not under applecare anymore obviously. I downloaded the upgrade last night which took quite a while longer than it should have.
    Anyone else experienced this and can suggest something? many thanks Jo

    Run Software Update, wait till all the updates have finished downloading then restart the mac.

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • Just installed 10.8.2 on my macbook pro...

    Hi nieldm,
    Nathan, one of Debookee's developper, here.
    What is possible is that you've got a web page launched which has chat features. LiveChatInc seems to be used by major companies (although it has recently and silently been breached, see: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2012/Oct/191), and can be included in web pages of other websites.
    To test it, close all your browsers and see if still any traffic.
    If yes, then it comes from an installed 'soft', if not, then go step by step opening websites and you'll identify it easily.
    Make me think that it could be a nice feature in Debookee to see from which application the network traffic is originating: Browsers / applications / Mac OS internals ...
    Good luck,
    Nathan

    I have a 2007 Macbook, so it's probably a lot older than your Macbook Pro, but it sounds like what happened to me, except that mine hadn't travelled anywhere. I pulled out the ram and blew out some dust, popped them back in, and wha-la! it turned back on and worked better than ever! Or otherwise you've got a dud/old/warped/fried battery, which is also what happened to my laptop - it got so  bad it did what your laptop is doing. Ordered a new battery online and all good since then. Or otherwise, like the previous post asked, 'is it plugged in?'

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.
