Mac Book Pro 2011, i need help!!!

Hello!!
After upgrade system to Mountain Lion, my battery life stay so short! 100%= 90 minuts! Why so happend? What can i do for long life my battery?
Best regads, Alexey

This isn´t normal. The best thing that you can do is take it to the Apple Store or a Apple Reseller, and have them take a look at it.
I am currently running Mountain Lion on a Macbook Pro late 2010 edition and 100% = 6:34
Hope this helps!

How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
Thanx

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx

My mac book pro 2011 never pass the grey screen.

I have a mac book pro 2011, 17". For some reasons it just stop working. I have recovered the OS by holding command-R, the problem still persist. I follow the note provided by apple here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 . Unfortunately, I have lost the recovered CD that came with my computer. What are the solution for this case. Please, help if any one has any idea about this issue.
The windows safe mode is working fine, but the Mac OS safe mode does not work. I have brought the computer to an apple technician to check for the hardware error using the tool provided by apple and found all hardwares to be ok. However, after try all the solution including internet recovery, the technician insisted that the mainboard is defected. What should I do to repair my computer?

There is a grey spinny wheel that keeps spinning. Normally this stops and I get the login screen but now it just carries on endlessly

HT2486 can I have two contact lists on one mac book pro? I need one to sync with my iphone, one to sync with my husband's iphone.

I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct?

You will need an adaptor to convert the plug only, the voltage is fine.

I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

It begins with: F-285-NER-151-QBQ-and continues with 5 more 3 or 4 letters/numbers..
Yes, that is the number. And what version of Aperture have you installed? The same version as on your old Mac?
But it don´t work on my new Mac...
In what way does it not work? Does it require you to enter a licence number for Aperture 2 as well? That will be necessary, if your serial number is an upgrade serial number. Then you will have to enter all previous numbers as well.
Or does Aperture not accept the number as correct? Then check the spelling; some letters are easily confused like "I" and "1" and "O" and "0". Do not use the number pad to enter the numbers.

My Mac book pro 2011 has lost its wifi card! Message says it is not installed; however, it was there until today. What has happened?

Try resetting the SMC and PRAM:

On the SMC, you want the process for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

Wait it out for couple of hours.
Hope you have a backup.
If you have a backup ready, restart the computer.

Selling my old mac book pro. I need to delete everything on the hard drive. any ideas ?I do not have the boot disks.

If the Mac came w/system DVDs, you will need to obtain them prior to selling.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

Mac Book Pro 2011 (Installed with X Yosemite) Problem. Help!

I tried to start up my Mac Book Pro and it took me to the screen where you choose the user. I click on my account and put in my password. A grey loading bar appears below. It gets about a third of the way there and then the whole computer shuts down. Just shuts off like I pushed the power button. So I tried to Safe Boot but my computer doesn't seem to recognize it as a Safe Boot for when I hold shift upon it restarting, it just takes me back to the "choose your user" interface. So then I tried the Utilities screen which I was able to open. I tried to repair my "MacintoshHD" Disk (The top one in the left column) and it said that it was unable to fully verify the disk. I kept trying and this fixed the problem (I think?) since it stopped saying it couldn't verify it anymore. I went back to the "choose your user" screen and still no dice. What should I do? Is there any way to save my files on that account? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Di Liberto

My Mac tech friend tells me there is a pending class action lawsuit about this problem. So stay tuned.

My Mac book pro (2011) start-up goes straight to disk utlities and wont install mavricks.

Hello,
     My mac boook pro 2011 wont start up to my internal harddrive. it will sit on the white screen for a bit before it takes me directly to the choose language then disk utlity and shows the;
Time machine
install osx
get help online
disk utlity
     Ok so my harddrive is partitoned into two, but everytime i try to delete the partition drive, it wont let me. says (Macintosh HD2 cannot unmount please try again). And everytime i try to earse the free space, it wont do it as well. but its says it did.
     Then i try to repair my disk but my verify/repair disc permissions is not choosable but the veriy/repair ARE choosable. i choose verify/repair option and it says everything is fine. but it still wont let me choose verify/repair disk permission. My Saftey Mode is not working ( circle with line through) so i cant fix that problem. I also done the reset PRAM/NVRAM and SMC and still nothing.
     Ok the problem goes further. my Mac book pro came installed with Snow Lepord not mavricks but it wants to install mavricks instead. I put my internet into some single thing and it switched it to Lion instead of mavricks. but that isnt the problem (just thought it was weird how it switched OSX system like that) the problem is that it doesnt want to download install any OSX system. First it didnt let me get pass the choose install drive wondow. , then i switched my date in the terminal and was able to sign in but it wont download any OSX system, it would say (Something came up, please try again). My install cd wont work, keeps spitting it out. And trying to do an OSX system download wont work through this browser on disk utltity (not enough space on the drive).
     I was deleting log files from my mac through the partitioned drive and i accidently deleted a system folder that had logs. i was wondering if this was the problem and if its making my HD fail ir is my HD done? and can i put Yosemite on a usb and boot it that way or burning it to a CD and doing a cd install?
     Please i need help becuase i use my mac for film and editing and my mac wont boot to the desktop, just to this window. ill try to post picutres of what happens.

That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

New to Mac Book Pro 2011

i just got a new mac book pro. after start up, the cursor can move to icons, but nothing happen, no drawdown showing up. Can anyone help on this? Thanks

I think what you mean is "Tap to click" is not turned on.
Currently you have to actually click down on the physical button of the trackpad to click on an icon or anything else.
To turn on tap to click you need to go into the Apple menu at the top left, then click system preferences, then trackpad. In there you can click "tap to click" and that should take care of your issue.

How long does a mac book pro last before needing an upgrade?

This will be my first ever first mac been using pc since year 2001 and mac being expensive and I was a kid I didn't have much choice but now I am 18 and I want a mac but the cheapest mac book pro I am not sure if I am getting a mac still but I might be more willing to.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+MacBook+Pro%AE+-+13.3%22+Display +-+4GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive/5430505.p?id=1218646127726&skuId=5430505
I don't like the macbook air because it looks weird from the side view. So how long does that macbook pro the one I posted last before needing an upgrading to the next gen mac laptop because if I need to upgrade ever 2 or 3 years I will not be buying because can't afford to upgrade every time, since I had my pick windows 7 OS pc since 2010 feb and my laptop Windows 7 OS since 2011 also my windows xp since 2001. The only apple thing I is Iphone 4s, used to own an iphone 4 and Ipod 3rd Gen 32GB.

Apple typically issues a newer OS X version every year now and one can usually upgrade all Mac's at least 2 times and the more powerful ones 3-4 timesif your lucky.
If you don't upgrade your denied security updates and new features in about 2 years afterwards of a new release. Also just because Apple says one can upgrade doesn't meant the machine will run as peachy and fast as on the older versions.
However if Apple switches processors like they did PPC to Intel, then upgrades to newer OS X versions isn't going to happen.
Third party software also requires upgrades, most are paid.
If you want more longevity between OS/software/hardware changes, then I suggest a Windows 7 tower as the parts are exchangeable/replaceable and upgradable, also Windows 7 will get security and support until 2020, that's 7 more years (and likely a bit longer if businesses demand it)
Being a Mac user usually requires a deeper pockets and a willingness to be more at the cutting edge, accepting of lots of change every year and buying hardware more frequently.
It's not for everyone, especially if your a 3D gamer, a Windows 7 tower is much better as it won't break so often, except form malware and System Restore Disks and Iamges built into Windows 7 will take care of that if you do it before using the machine.
For example, I have a 2011 Early 17" MacBook Pro, the last of it's kind that came with OS X 10.6, it's only 2 years old.
Now OS X is at 10.8 and I refuse to upgrade to it's poor interface, so I'm already being denied a more secure and upgraded Safari 6, so I switched to firefox.
That's life on Mac's, being denied and left behind.
