Mac book pro 2010 stange issue..

hi there I have a mac book pro 2010 and have an issue, the computer appears to be running fine in most ways but key board wont illimuminate anymore and it says I have 0 percent battery level and yet it stays running while plugged, also the cd drive wont take cds...I tried the smc reset nothing happend... can anyone help?!?!

It sounds like your charger cord is not charging, but still powering the computer.   The problem could be either the charger cord itself or the power supply unit inside the computer.  Do you have an amber light on the mag-safe detector when it is supposed to be charging?   The easiest way to check is if you have another power cord that can be plugged into the computer.  If you don't, your next best option is to take it into an Apple store and the Genius Bar.  They can determine in a few seconds what the problem is.  The same thing happened to my 2010 MBP.  I was convinced that the charger cord was working fine and that they would have to replace the motherboard.   The Genius bar found that it was indeed the charger and replaced it at their expense.

  • Can you still buy Mac book pro 2010

    Hey all, I have been seriouly thinking of buying Mac Book Pro 2010 model (one with Nvidia GPU in it)  I almost bought one few months back, but I couldn't get monthly payment option in Bestbuy.. And I ened up buy Asus laptop lol. As my old desktop cpu was getting old. Anywho.. I use to use Mac long ago in Highschool and they have come a long way since system 7.
    I have always wanted a Mac, Tired of mircsoft Bs and all virus/spyware and other crap. Just couldn't afford one.
    But hopefully that will be soon.
    I have been checking on-line and reading the reviews of the new Mac Book Pro 2011 models. I also notice they are now using ATI/Amd video GPU in then. Most people are not liking them,  Being that I am gamer, I do want decent laptop with atlest half decent video card.  I have read a lot reviews on older Mac book pro's wih Nvida gpu. I myself like Nvidia over Ati.
    Anywho i hope I can still get one before they are gone. My Question is...
    I love new i7 Cpu in my Asus has 8 cores in it.. Runs at 1.73 ghz & Boost upto 2.9 Ghz.. (intel core i7 740QM cpu )
    I'd love get that same Cpu in Mac book Pro with decent Nvida gpu...
    Can I still order or buy Macbook pro with Intel i7 cpu and still have Nvidia Gpu. Even though most Mac stores/ other computer stores that sell Mac have 2011 version with Crapy Ati Cards in then?
    Or once they gone, They gone? If I can order one, I just dont want miss out on good laptop.
    If anybody knows. Please get back to me, So know if I should be concerned or not. Thank you very much
    -Chester

    Actaully No...They aren't as good or as fast as Nvidia 330M Gpu..

    The older MacBook pro with Nvida Gpu has more memory Bus width.
    Faster memory speed and shader speed..
    Yes new macbook have faster 4 Core, i7 in them. Where 2010 only
    had 2 cores for i5 and i7..
    Check your stats for yourself... the new Ati is also only 64 Bit memory..
    Thats going create alot bottlenecks and lag..
    If I want to play say.. Portal 2, or Starcraft 2. I'm sure it would lag on ATI card..
    My current Asus i7 1.73 ghz  has better ATI Card then curent 2011 MBP.

  • Is the corsair DDR3 16GB 1333 SO-D KIT compatible with the Mac Book pro 2010?

    I'm upgrading my Mac book pro 2010 and was wandering if this ram works. I already tried the PNY 8gb ram, but snow leopard wouldn't install with it.

    I'm pretty sure it can take 16GB fine, after all Apple has said up to this day that non-Retina Macs can't do so much RAM yet here we are, a whole bunch of happy 16GB users (hint: my Mac is carring the Corsair CMSA16GX3M2A1333C9 kit).
    However, stedman is right. Your Mac uses 1066MHz RAM, the 1333 MHz RAM is for 2011 models.

  • My Mac Book Pro (2010 - Snow Leopard) won't boot, or boot from safe mode.

    Hi, a bit of back ground knowledge bout the situation first, I was visiting home to see my family for two weeks in the UK, as i am currently on an internship in Dubai.
    A few days ago (one day before i flew back to Dubai from the UK - Thursday 10/07/2014) I noticed out of the blue that my Mac book Pro (i believe early/mid 2010 model) suddenly started running extremely slow. (prior to this I had be using it fine, using an array of programs like Safari & Photoshop that i know usually slows down the Mac, but unlike what I would usually experience, this was pretty much a complete freeze for 5 minutes at a time every time i tried moving my mouse/closing a program or even clicking on something. I decided I would close everything and give the computer a rest. This took a long long time, I had to force quit many of the programs open, then once going to the drop down menu to shut down the laptop it wouldn't shut down. So after a long time of waiting to shut down I decided to force it to shut down by holding down the power button.
    I left it for the evening, and then decided to turn on the laptop so it was 'on and working' for my flight back to Dubai as there had been 'stricter airport measures introduced in the UK for flights abroad' and there was a rumor that you had to prove that all electrical devices can be turned on when and if asked by airport security. after a long time it finally turned on and loaded the home screen, it had a long period on the grey apple screen with the turning gear. However still when turned on the problem of being extremely slow - freezing for 5 minutes every time i would click a program or something on the mac, like the drop down menu with the shut down option for example - still persisted. As I had to fly home the next morning (Friday 11/07/2014) I just closed the laptop lid like i had down thousands of times before over the past 3-4 years, packed it in my hand luggage and and went to bed. I flew back to Dubai.
    Over the next few days (Saturday 11/07/2014 - Monday 14/07/2014) I used the laptop sparingly a it was super slow, but i did manage to watch the second half of the world cup runners up match between Holland & Brasil. I then went on to attempt to use the safari the on the Monday night, but it was too slow to really do anything, e.g. i couldn't even really look at the BBC website as it was too painfully slow!
    This is when I decided to look up why it may be working so slow via my iphone.
    So I shut it down,
    I looked on forums and support ages and first thing they recommended was a 'safe mode boot up', so I decided to boot up in safe mode. This is where the problem seems to worsen. The Mac book pro would turn on to the grey apple screen and the progress bar appears, it begins to fill up but then reaches perhaps 20-30% then suddenly the laptops fan seems to go into over drive, making lots of noise when before this moment as it tried to boot up it was silent, then it just turns off.
    I decided to retry booting up without holding down shift (safe boot mode), but it returns to the grey apple screen with the progress bar again, as if it was in safe mode even though I had held down shift. The same problem happens, its silent as the bar fills until abut 20-30% then it seems to 'overheat' and then turn off again.
    I tried to boot it up again and again, both 'normally' without holding down shift, and 'safe mode', but the same issue arises.
    So i turned to the forums and help pages again, and there was a mention of a PRAM reset. So i tried booting it up this time but holding down 'CMD + ALT + P + R' on the moment of the first chime, then as normal with a PRAM reset it chimed twice more before I let go of the keyboard. The progress bar again appeared on the grey start up apple page, and this time reached roughly the same 20-30% mark, but without overheating or making a fan noise, it then seemed to restart the progress bar a second time. This time as it reached the 20-30% it would again over heat and then instantly turn off.
    I then decided to do a Hardware test. So i turned on the power and held down 'D', this successfully brought up the Hardware testing window, I did a regular test and within a few minutes it said there was no hard ware issue. Not convinced i decided to do an detailed/advanced hardware test which took alot longer. This time after a few minutes it started to make fan noises and 'overheating noises' however completed the hardware test and again said there was no hardware problems. I opted for the 'shut down' option on the screen instead of 'restart'.
    I then decided to try and boot it up normally again, and the progress bar appears on the grey apple start up screen, it again reaches 20-30% then turns off.
    I've exhausted my knowledge of what to do, and all the forums seem not to give the answer i'm looking for. It sees like no one has had the EXACT same problem i'm experiencing. Also being in Dubai for a further 7 weeks, I can't take the Mac book pro to an apple store, and I do not have any of the install DVD discs ect with me to try booting from DVD disc install.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for me on what I could try next? I'd be hugely grateful! Please reply below or email me.

  • Mac book pro 2010

    I have the mac book pro from 2010, 40gb HD. I have the game, Spore which was run in on it previously, and I hadn't used it for a long time. I had uninstalled it due to the old saved games on there. Now when trying to reinstall it, it gets about 3/4 of the way through and fails with an error, unable to write to drive. Can anyone help?

    Are you able run Verify/Repair Disk from Disk Utility?

  • Mac Book Pro 2010: dramatically dropped in performance.

    Hi,
    I purchased my Mac book pro about 6 months ago and recently it has dropped dramatically in performance.
    Here is a list of issues I’m having:
    - Takes ages to start up
    - Lags when typing
    - Lags when watching videos
    - programmes keep crashing: Photoshop, After Effects, word
    - When screen saver is on the screen flickers
    - When video clip is playing the screen flickers
    - Mouse sticks and freezes
    - Brightness dimmer randomly changes
    - Screen turns back on when brightness is turned off
    - Windows through boot camp runs even slower.
    And recently I have discovered in my activity monitor that quite a lot of my processes randomly jumps from 0.4 CPU usage to about 20.0. This happens to several processes like dashboard even though I have nothing on there.
    My laptop stats are:
    2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
    4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    500GB hard drive
    Any help will be extremely appreciated, Thank you!

    I would start by repairing disk permissions in Disk Utility. If you still have bad performance after that, do a PRAM reset (hold down CMD-OPT-P-R while Mac boots up). If you still have trouble after that, download a free program called Onyx and use it to rebuild your system caches. There's a very good chance this will fix your issues.

  • How much does it cost to upgrade a mac book pro 2010 mid range?

    I want to find how much upgrading Mac book pro mid range? Ideally a list of what can be upgraded and how much.....and i know apple can upgrade, i do not care about the cost or if it is worth it.... just want to know how much and what can be upgraded...

    The performance bottleneck for your MBP is the hard drive.
    You will see significant improvements in overal performance by upgrading the HD to a SSD.
    Btw, Apple is not in the business of upgrading your existing MBP. Apple rather you buy a new MacBook Pro.
    In all fairness to Apple, the 2011 MBP quad-core is almost twice as fast as the 2010 MBP dual-core for multi-core aware applications.
    Here are Mac benchmarks.

  • Bluetooth does not work on mac book pro 2010

    Hello there,
    I have been trying to pair my MacBook pro with my new sound box over bluetooth but in vain. It just doesn't work. I have gone through all kind of forums, howto's and articles but nothing helped. My MacBook Pro (late 2010) just doesn't pair. In the past with old operating OS X  systems it was already difficult to make it pair with discoverable bluetooth devices but it once worked with a jambox. Now nothing helps.
    One additional information to the Etre Check below: I have changed my old CD-ROM drive for a SSD drive, so now I use SSD to boot up my Mac and the old HD drive mainly for not frequently used data.
    Thank you very much in advance for your help.
    Best,

    The Logic Board is the Main system board. In the Windows world better known as the Motherboard. Except with Apple Mac computers the CPU and the GPU are Soldered to the logic board and if it is a Retina screen model the RAM is also Soldered to it.
    So replacing the Logic board is like replacing the compete system and costs accordingly.
    But there isn't much else you can do if you can't get that switch unstuck. Or just go without sound from the built in speakers. They aren't that good anyway.

  • Mac Book Pro Retina Battery Issue

    I bought the new MBPR just over a month ago and have since found that the battery doesn't last all that well. This is especially so when running a few things at once - most of which are very low CPU usage ie excel, mail, safari. My battery time remaining seems to jump up and down from 6:30 remaining down to about 3:00 at the jump of a hat and it's getting annoying as I've found I take my power cable everywhere with me and half the point of getting a laptop is to have the function of several hours os usability no worries running off the battery. Web browsing only, prolongs battery significantly but as soon as I start to do something/anything else it dimishes badly.
    Would updating to Mountain Lion help this or is it just a feable excuse to prolong real "support" help?
    What does reseting the SMC actually do, is this worth doing and will I loose data? I've done the sleep, restart and shutdown sequence but didn't seem to acheive a great deal.
    I run bluetooth for my mouse and wifi for internet.
    I've recently taken to playing Diablo 3 and this absolutely destroys my battery life and it literally lasts for under an hour on the battery if I'm playing this - very very frustrating. And if I play any music whilst on battery it drops very very quickly also.
    At times the metal above the keyboard and underneath at the same point can get very hot to the point it can become extremely uncomfortable to sit the laptop in my lap.
    Having just posted the above my time left went from 6:30hrs down to 3:45hrs and is now slowly climbing back up as I type.... posting the above seems a bit over the top for draining battery life, anyone agree??
    I run currently with 50% brightness and about the same on keyboard brightness and have just turned off auto brightness as read that this can help - though annoying that I have to turn off this function and would like ot run with it on as I enjoy it's feature.
    Any help would be appreciated - helps hints or tips - I'd love to be able to play Diablo 3 for longer off the battery as an hour doesn't really sit well with me coming from the latest and greatest Mac.
    Thanks!

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Reporting of the Mac Book Pro whining noise issue - how?

    Hi,
    My MacBook Pro is emitting a noise when the processor is idle. It's got all the updates and the problem did not go away.
    I was looking at the Apple Support site and could not seem to find a place to report this issue. Any idea where I should go?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    You may want to call Apple customer care and explain your problem. It is recognized now by Apple and they are issuing logic board updates.
    Some people report having more success by going to a brick and mortar Apple store and making an appointment at the Genius bar though.
    It is really your choice.

  • Mac book pro 13 boot issue

    I've been toying with my girl friends MacBook Pro  trying to fix it. She bought it in 2009.  The MBP does not seem to be reading the hard drive, it wouldn't even read the install disk and it took me about an hour to get that out. Finally after I remove the install disk I try booting it up and I get that question mark folder. I had already replaced the hard drive before I had the eject problem. Now after it not booting up I'm thinking it's something else. I also tried to boot the old hard drive using a USB adaptor but even after hitting the -option- button all I get is a grey blank screen with my mouse pointer. No options to click nothing. I'm thinking at this point that there is either faulty wiring, or just another bad component that I have no knowledge of. I'm up for suggestions.

    Upon further investigation I have found that the only way I can enter Single user Mode is if the installation disk is in. If I take it out I cannot enter in start up mode. While I was in Start up mode with the disk, there was no communication with the root directory. All communication was simply with the disk.
    So I have identified that my MBP does not read or identify any hard disks or external disks through the USB port. The hard drive is not the issue because I just replaced it and it's doing the same the as the last. It must the internal wiring problem or a mother hardware device problem. But my hardware troubleshooting skill are not up to snub.
    Any advice?

  • Mac Book Pro space bar issue...

    I just received my MBP and the space bar is very difficult to engage. This small thing makes typing an extreme test of patience.
    I got it at Future Shop Canada two days ago. Should I call Apple Support or deal with Future Shop? It has taken a while to get here and I need it bad in the coming days. (I am a photography student and it is coming into portfolio time.)

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. The space bar works, I have to press down hard on it for it to input. It seems really bad on the left side of it, to the point where it needs to be pressed firmly. I thought it was a mac thing (being a long time pc user) but my gf is a graphics designer and works on them all day, she said that it wasn't right.
    The space bar doesn't seem to be mounted improperly, it is just not very sensitive. The fact that it has very little sensitivity on the left side as apposed to the right leads me to believe that it isn't just a software problem.
    I hope that explains it. I am going to call apple in the morning. How long do these things usually take? I would hope to get it back fast after blowing $3300 on it.
