Looking for a case for my new Macbook Pro 13'' 2011

Any help would be great!
I am looking for a case for my new MacBook Pro 13'' 2011. I went to the Speck website where there are plenty of nice cases to choose from, except I am a little worried that it wont fit the MBP properly. The new MBP 13'' has the same dimensions as the older model but I am mostly worried about the power mag not properly plugging into the side of the MBP.
Have you guys heard of anyone having problems with their L-shaped power mags not fully fitting onto the macbook pro?
I like the Speck brand very much on my MBP 15'' because I haven't had any problems with it.

Speck casing is good and will fit EXACTLY what your MBP is.
here's mine,

New Macbook Pro early 2011 Crash

I have new Macbook pro 13" 320 MB type early 2011. Almost everytime I use with Safari using wifi. The system crash and require me to shut down the computer and restart it. It's brand new but is annoying, could anyone help? (I've update the OS already but the problem still persist)

Hi Joseph,
In many cases that I remember, It will always crash whenever I open and download (not so many) youtube video. Compare to my Fujitsu that I used side by side, the MBP tends to search connection more often (I monitored the airport activity), does it have anything to do with it ?
Thanks for your advise man, I'll working on it.

How to sync new Macbook Pro with 2011 iMAC on Snow Leapord

Hello,
This is my first post so hello!
My small business has an office iMAC and a Macbook Air both running 10.6.8. The two aren't synced in any way other than that the Air can access files from the iMAC's hard drive via the network. I have 2 email accounts on the iMAC's mail and just one of them set up on the Air.
I've just bought a new 15" Macbook Pro running Lion.
I'd like to be able to sync some folders (but definitely not all), bookmarks, iTunes and mail accounts between the iMAC and the new Macbook Pro. Ideally I'd like to be able to access the shared/synced folders when I don't have an internet connection
What's the best method?
Snow Leapord doesn't have iCloud does it? If not, why the **** not?
Is it just easiest to set up the email accounts on the new MBP as normal and then use dropbox for the folders I want to share? Can I access the with no internet connection?
One other question, can i link a gmail account to my Apple mail?
Thanks for any help.
Best wishes
Dave.

No. It was a feature that was introduced with the release of 10.7.2. I do not know why it was not introduced on earlier versions. Probably the same reasons why some features will be introduced in later versions of OS X that will not be found on older versions.

Does the new Macbook Pro 13 2011 work with the Intel SSD?

I've been trying to upgrade my macbook pro to an ssd (using stock original 5400 rpm 320 gb HDD) but so far I've been reading for like 2-3 hrs and came to a conclusion. Intel is the most reliable and most highly recommended. However, Intel SSD doesn't work with the new Macbook Pro 13" & 17" because of some cabling SATA III issues. Does the issue still remain or has it been fixed? If it hasn't been fixed, what is the current most highly recommended and reliable and best in terms of speed, reliability, and just...best SSD available that works best with the 2011 MBP? Can anyone help me out? Ive been reading that OCZ and others are faster than Intel but less reliable (higher failure rates) and MBP can't take advantage of faster 6/Gbps RAID III or something. help me!!! Should I just wait?

If you search the web, you will predominately read about problems, not good experiences.
I don't believe Intel is any less subject to issues, than the Sandforce SSD drives.
Buy from a reliable source with a good return policy and warranty.
OWC is well regarded.

Windows Refuses to boot from 2 brand new Macbook pro 13 2011 model laptops

I'm having the same problem.
I bought a macbook pro 13inch 2.3 ghz core i5 base model yesterday. I gave it the normal windows partition as i normally do with all my macs and tried to install Win7.
The installation was ok except that it took the macbook pro like 40 seconds to finish showing the Black screen with the blinking cursor .
I then Installed Bootcamp 3.2 and restarted, it took its normal 40 secs to show the black screen and blinking cursor after i had selected windows to boot and then it restarted!
I tried 4-6 times but it keeps giving me the same result.
I then reformatted 4 times both the Windows and Mac partitions and tried to repeat the windows installation but it kept giving me the same result.
A friend of mine bought his macbook pro 13 base model today and when i tried installing, it gives the same result! What is wrong?
I then installed Parallels 6 on both laptops and immediately it booted the already installed windows partition.(*but i don't want to use parallels )
But when i restart and hold down the option key and choose windows, it keeps giving me the black screen with the blinking cursor and the restarts itself.
I have used 10 or more macbook pros and airs in the past and they've never given me this sort of problem.
What is wrong???

Having Windows on GPT and EFI; not having default OS set to Windows.
Having boot options in msconfig set to default (30 seconds) instead of reducing to 5 seconds (if present, it may not be).
40 seconds is slightly longer I guess for you than OS X but people with trouble are reporting 1-4 minutes. I think 40 is in normal range.

Final Cut Studio 2. Should I wait for 3? And which new Macbook Pro

Hi,
I'm in need of some advice. I have used Final Cut pro since it's early days having owned 1,3 and 4.5HD. I also used Motion 1 a fair bit. My video editing worked declined in the last 3 years so I didn't upgrade my software and computer as it wasn't necessary. BUT things are getting busy for me again and I have quite a few projects to complete in the next year and motion 1 and FCP 4.5HD just don't make the grade anymore (actually I love 4.5 but motion 1 was always buggy). the 17 isn't out of my budget but in terms of convenience I don't want to go that route again (I now have a 17inch PB from 2004). My questions...
1. Should I wait for FCS 3? I heard it will be released this OCT. I don't want to have to pay 700bucks foor an upgrade to FCS3 only a few months after I get 2. Is 2 plenty good enough?
2. Should I get the 15inch 2.66 with dedicated 9600/256mb or 2.8 with dedicated 9600/512 graphics card? I'm thinking the 2.8.
apart from this point there isn't much difference between the 2 computers (along with L2 cache)

1) There is no set release date for FCS 3 (sad but true) in fact there is no "official" information anywhere that confirms FCS3's existence ... whatever you've heard or read is pure speculation and basing purchasing decisions on such might be a tad risky. My advice would be that if you need FCS2's functionality right now then buy it now, especially if you are working commercially (ie you're going to get paid for this) ... but if you don't need it yet then common sense would be to bide your time.
2) Despite your reservations, get the 17" MBP. There are no current 15" MBP's that are a good long term purchase suitable for professional editing work. How long do you expect to use this purchase? 1 or 2, maybe 3 years? or 5 years? Sooner or later you will want or need to connect a bigger, better, faster storage system to your laptop in order to keep up with your editing needs, especially as we hurtle towards affordable Digital Cinema solutions for consumers and pro's alike. NONE of the current 15" laptop lineup for Apple offers ANY suitable form of expansion facility. Sadly they have dropped their "Pro" appeal, at least with respect to Pro video editing needs.

Connecting old imac to new macbook pro

I have a five year old imac that I use for photoshop work. My new macbook pro is so much faster processing big files, I can see the Imac's days are numbered. Can I use the monitor from the imac with the new Macbook? How would I connect the two?
Thanks,

When I bought my new MacBook Pro, the sales person showed me how to do the V-card method that you suggested. I tried it at home, and it worked. I have been worrying for years about the best way to do this, so was very relieved to find such a simple method. David Pogue in the Tiger Missing Manual also mentioned another tip which I used: he said to select all the address entries you want to transfer (in my case it was all of them) and then just drag the whole lot out onto the desktop. A V-card icon appeared that said: "Name of Person plus 344 others". I then copied that to a flash drive and then onto the new computer desktop. I then dragged it into the Address Book window. As you said it was done in a matter of seconds. Thank you so much!

Please help with updated info how to Move iTunes 10.5.2 to a new MacBook Pro

With Christmas fast approaching, and new MAC computers being left under the tree, I would find it helpful for an update as to how best to move my son's iTunes library from my iMac (late 2011 version with Lion) which he is sharing to his new MacBook Pro (Early 2011 with Lion upgrade) . There is a lot of old information floating around on how to do this with prior versions of iTunes, but with iCloud and Apps now in the cloud I would like someone knowledgeable to update me and the community with the best way to do this for the latest versions of iTunes running on Lion. He also has his iPhone 4 synched with his account on my iMac and would like to deauthorize his iTunes on my iMac and have him sync on his new computer as well. I know it is probably hidden among the forums somewhere, but with a lot of people upgrading to new computers, it would be helpful for a refresher on this thread. Thanks!

Beachball and hanging after putting old hard drive into new MacBook Pro

Hi there,
I really hope to find some help here.
The situation:
I had a MacBook Pro Early 2008 running Lion (10.7.5) until it died about a week ago (mainboard broken).
In this old Macbook Pro I had two hard drives: 128GB SSD and 1TB SATA 5400.
I bought a second hand MacBook Pro Late 2011 on ebay and upgraded the Ram to 16 GB.
Then I put the two hard drives in the new MacBook Pro Late 2011.
The Macbook is super fast and very responsive but every couple of minutes it is hanging for a few seconds or I get a beachball randomly.
This can happen in Finder, Google Chrome, Adobe Dreamweaver, basically anytime using any software.
I tried to create a new account and see if the problem persists. And yes, it does.
I tested the hard drives (disk utility) and the Ram (memtest/terminal) and all is ok with this.
The Macbook Pro Late 2011 comes with a 256 GB SSD and an empty slot for the second hard drive. The Macbook seems to function normal when using the 256GB SSD with Lion installed.
Unfortunately my external backup hard drive is not working anymore so I can't restore from there.
What do you recommend? Would it make sense to make a backup now, take out the 128GB and put in the 256 GB hard drive?
Please advice!
Thanks for any kind of help in advance!
Chris

I know people that have been doing things for longer than 10 years and they know jack. Formatting the HD is not really good "advice" in this situation.
I'm not cocksure - you just think I am because I'm disagreeing with you opinion, which you believe to be sacred (because you've been commenting for 10 years?).
So I thank you sir for your opinion but I certainly do not need your luck.
Later.

XP/Bootcamp 3.1: Slow Keyspan USA-19HS USB/Serial -- new Macbook Pro 17"

I have a new Macbook Pro 17" running Windows XP on Boot Camp 3.1. I am using a Keyspan USA-19HS USB/Serial adapter with its latest driver (from Tripplite that now owns Keyspan). The XP was originally an SP2 install but was updated with all Microsoft updates before installing the Keyspan.
I previously used this same Keyspan with Windows XP/Boot Camp 2.x, and with this same Keyspan driver, on an older Macbook, and it ran just fine for years.
On my new Macbook Pro, it runs without complaints or failures, but it runs at about 1/4 the serial throughput that it should have. I have compared the COM port settings for the Keyspan with those on the older Macbook and they are identical. Using 19200 baud. Device Manager shows no problem indications.
Any suggestions?
--Bob

I have the same computer and the same issue in Bootcamp. I haven't noticed any correlation with a context menu however. Hoping for an updated driver soon to fix this...

Unexpected close of applications in New Macbook Pro and osx 10.6.7

Hi, just bought new Macbook pro spring 2011 series with ssd hard disk and 8 gigabyte ram. The problem is most of application I try to open "Unexpected close of application" message shows up, itunes, photoshop, ... do the same thing! it's preinstalled with osx 10.6.7. What's wrong with it?! if search around looks like it's common problem with no answer!

Thanks, I'll take a look to see if the solution is there. The strange thing is that the additional files aren't visible, nor does the computer see them in the otherwise empty trash can. It's only when the deletion is occurring that the number of items to be deleted is always three more than the number of items shown as being in the trash can.

Macbook Pro Spring 2011 17' i7 Programs do not shutdown have to force quit

I'm new to Mac so I'm not one hundred percent sure whats going on, but I'm having a problem with the new macbook pro spring 2011 17' i7 where when I go to shut down it gets interrupted with a message saying the application launcher cancelled shutdown.
I'm then finding that even though I have exited programs they seem to be still running in the background so I have to go and force quit everything like safari,itunes and so on, all programs seem to have the same problem. After I force quit I'm able to shut down. Anyone have any ideas on what might be going on or how I can fix this so I can shutdown normally?

Actually... the behavior you have described sounds consistent with proper operation. Certain applications may draw more power than can be supplied by the charger alone and may cause a slight draw on the battery (especially distributed computing projects like BOINC which can max out your CPU usage). It is normal for your battery to discharge down to 95% before the charger kicks in to bring the charge back up to 100%. It sounds like the AASP you brought your machine to may be needlessly replacing your logic board.

Instant Hotspot not working on MacBook Pro Early 2011?

Hi and tnxs for reading.
I have a MacBook Pro Early 2011, and I cannot figure out how to use Instant Hotspot.
It is regularly working as standard hotspot by activating it on my iPhone and checking the iPhone WiFi Hotspot from WiFi menu, but otherwise is not available after the iPhone goes on stby...exactly as before.
Is this a limitation like the major part of Continuity?
Tnxs
