Mac book pro display problems
I have a mid 2009 mac book pro 15 inch. All of a sudden when I tilt my screen back more than 90 degrees, the right two or three inches gets distorted.
Some time is I wiggle it, it goes away. And wow, like right now it wont do it. Its like somting is loose?? Should I take it in or is it eay enough to see a poential loose cable if I take it apart.
If you have some mechanical aptitude and the right tools, go do it. But first go to iFixit and look for instructions so that you do get any unpleasant surprises.
If you suffer from chronic fingerfumbelblitis, then it is the Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.

I have a Mac Book Pro - HELP - problems with bootcamp = too full
I have have a Mac Book Pro. My drive is full. Sadly I had the partition set up at a store that should have known what they were doing (NOT an apple store, but a certified store that carries only Apple products), anyway.. I am now at the point where my bootcamp is full. I've tried reading a number of posts, but some things apply to me, some things don't so here is my situation:
Mac Book Pro
OS X 10.8.2
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
Using Bootcamp with Windows 7
I purchased Camptunes by Paragon and tried repartioning my drive that way. It looked like it was going to work until the following error message happend:
Windows filesystem verification failed. Please, repair Windows volume and try again. Windows is not letting me do this because I don't have enough room. Round and round the problem goes.
Initially when I was trying to clear out my Windows side I found a bulky .NET program I wanted to delete. It would not delete it for me (I can retry to look for that error message), but essentially it wouldn't delete it at all. I have no temporary internet files I can delete, cookies or other programs (except my printer drivers), but essentially - I can't figure out what to do next.
I read another post about a person who didn't want to backup their files first. This is not me. I do back up to a LACIE back up drive that has a 999.86 GB capacity with 872.11GB free. What I want to know is do I have to buy another back up to keep it all completely separate? What other program do you recommend to create a virtual drive? Can I get a step by step on what to do? I have the original windows disk if that helps in the equasion.....
My head hurts.... help!interenet wasn't working properly and i couldn't finish
Try restarting while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the startup manager window where you can select the startup disk and reboot.
Then try reformatting (erase) using OS X Recovery About OS X Recovery
Keep in mind, Apple does recommend a high speed broadband internet connection for OS X Recovery. A slow connection may time out before recovery is finished. -
My Mac book pro immediately displays black screen when I start up and says no bootable device insert boot disk. My question I don't have boot disk nor recovery disk to restore the system. Urgently needs your support and help. Thanks in advance. Michael l. Lluch
Hello
any chance you have try a bootcamp / win install into your Mac ??
if so
try this to boot into mac os
restart your mac , just after start up sound hold on "ALT" key to sart on drive manager
if that work select mac os volume using arrows key and validate by enter

Early 2011 Mac Book Pro (MBP) problem with sporadic AMD GPU automated switching system
I have an early 2011 Mac Book Pro (MBP) - specs are listed below. I have read online about other 2011s having an automatic shutdown problem & sporadic failure re the graphics AMD Radeon HD 6490M GPU automated switching system (among other problems with this "innovation" by Apple). I am having this problem: Shuts down by itself. Restarts - in the middle of the restart shuts down again. Fans are operating just fine. The problem has occurred if a video is playing, if I try to edit a video. It has occurred while using Skype (if the other party puts on their video camera), Firefox & Safari & Google Chrome. It has occurred even if I was working in Word if I was connected to the internet. I am working in a developing country and I have done a PRAM SMC Disk Utility Repair disk had a diagnostic run which showed no problems, etc.There is no temporary fix. Apple now hear this: This is going to morph into a logic board problem and you still haven't done anything about it??? This is an APPLE defect and I am very disappointed in Apple not acknowledging this defect and fixing the problem or issuing notification of a recall. I am outside of Apple Care and I have never had a mac give trouble until the 5 year mark. A 2GB RAM white iMac I gave my Mom is still operating perfectly! I am in the middle of a climate change mitigation project and a I cannot finish my work due to this problem and I cannot afford to pay for another MBP $2400 doorstop. What is going on here? Steve dies so there is no one to put the fear of God in anyone at Apple anymore and now no one cares about customer service? Where is the product recall? I have been a loyal Apple customer since 1983. Yes, 1983. DO SOMETHING NOW APPLE & NOTIFY US OF IT - We all registered our computers on YOUR website so you know who we are. Has anyone filed a class action yet?

Storage Capacity: 500 GBI had a 13" mid-2012 that had three logic boards fail in less than a year of purchase. My symptoms were it would freeze while using it or after it was put to sleep. When it froze while being used, it would flash pixels in groups in different colors and would become unresponsive to everything but forcing it to shut down. If it froze while sleeping, it wouldn't wake up and it would get extremely hot to the touch. Apple covered the repairs every time but they sent me receipts and each time, it was a $480 logic board plus labor so it would cost about $530 overall. It sounds to me it's your hard drive because I also experienced two hard drive failures. First time was from an accidental drop. I would get a loading bar on startup and once it finished, it would shut down. I couldn't boot into recovery mode at or do anything. But before that would happen, I would get an error in disk utility after performing a disk repair saying it couldn't repair the disk and to back up as much data as I could. Luckily I have the Time Capsule so my data was always safe.

Problems with mac book pro display
it's happen to me twice already, when it goes into sleep mode and I try to get it out of it the image gets all scramble and I have to reboot the computer manually meaning I have to hold the power button because everything on the screen is scrambled. Does anyone else out there have this problem or is this something that I should maybe worry about and return the laptop.
macbook proon one of your original install discs (prob the second one) there should be a utility application on it somewhere called 'apple hardware test'. you can run it (I think you need to boot from it, there should be instructions) and see what it tells you. there's a shorter test and an extended test, which can take some time but is worth doing. it literally will go off and test every single RAM module one by one, every CPU and bus element, the graphics card, video and sound ports, thermal sensors and fans.. the works. so when you run it, it will make your fans kick in to top speed at some point, and it will also display all sorts of coloured bars and so on as it tests your graphics card. this is all normal. it'll take a while, last time I did it on a G5 I think it took quite a bit over an hour, but that machine had a lot of RAM installed. at the end it gives you a report listing all of the tests and the results. it's by no means going to find any possible problem, but it is certainly a good diagnostic tool if there are serious hardware issues. it's prob one of the first things they would run at an apple authorised service centre if you brought your machine there.
good luck. -
My Mac Book Pro display has turned purple/blue, - why?
My screen started to flickr and has now turned purply/blue as if something has died..any one know why?
Your first choice is to go to System Preferences>Displays>Color. Make sure that your profile set is the appropriate one for the MacBook Pro, which should be "Color LCD".
I'm going to skip all of the normal suggestions of resetting this and that, because from what I've researched this in the past, and it appears you have an issue with either the graphics chip (low probability) or a worn cable causing one of the color channels to be bad or your LED screen has a problem.
In other words, it's probably hardware related. -
Hello everyone,
My new macbook has been great except the wireless connection. I'm having problems keeping a wireless connection with it. I have a new USRobotics USR5461 wireless router with update f/w. The laptop is working fine when plug up with cat 5 cable. But when I connect to the wireless, about 5 mins later i lose connection and the SSID is not displayed. When I look again for it. I no where to be found. I'm able to see other routers thou. For some reason it see's allot of 2wire wireless router connection. I tried changing settings on the router, Channel-Auto, maxg154,WPA2 and WPA. For some reason it will not stay connected. I was thinking maybe it was the router. But i dont want to spend almost $200.00 on a apple wireless router if it has nothing to so with the router. I am only a few feet away when testing this. The router is in the same room. Also i know the internet connection is working because I am able to user the internet when it pluged up to the mac mini with cat 5 cable. I would be greatful for anyone's help.Lots of us are having the same issue after the 7-31 Airport update. Respond to this thread to keep it bumped!

quando cerco di avviare isight con photo book o facetime mi dice nessuna fotocamera collegata
Quale versione di OS X sono in esecuzione? Se Lion o leone di montagna, tenere premuto il tasto opzione e selezionare Informazioni di sistema dal menu Apple. Controllare sotto Hardware> USB per vedere se la vostra videocamera iSight o FaceTime sta mostrando. In caso contrario, o se è semplicemente non funziona, è necessario prendere la macchina nel vostro Apple Store o un Apple Authorized Service Provider.
Buona fortuna,

Mac book pro wont run apple hardware test
Hi,
I have several problems with my Mac book Pro. Problems started so that I couldn't sign in to my account, three other account worked quite normally. I did run disk utility to fix problems that there was. That didn´t fix account problem. Then I tried to install SnowLeopard again, but it hangs after a while.
Hardware test programs starts and immediatelly after that computer shuts power off.
Here is the problem from installer.log (at least I think that here is the problem) But I can not say, what causes the problem

Maybe chmod 777 the correct files would help
Not sure which files but you did have an error which says it cant write due to being read on. Are you the admin of the laptop and are able to mod all the files?
I could be wrong but just an idea.
Have you also tried to re-download the OS you are trying to install in case it is corrupt? -
Mac Book Pro shuts down suddenly
I have been using my mac book pro without problems. All of a sudden I cant move the mouse anymore and the computer shuts down. It will restart itself with a message that reads something like your computer is restarting in 15 seconds or so but click anywhere to get in. Its just weird. I dont see any problems other than it does say I need to service battery. So is this the intial problem or is it something else? What can I do? Am I damaging my computer if I need a new battery? Help please....!
first if you are getting message that your battery needs service, you want to get it looked at either by going to apple store or service provider.
try doing an SMC reset, the following article tells how:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
after this reset restart the computer and see if it works normally if it doesn't see below.
second regarding the restart of your computer, it could be a kernel panic. the following article tells how to troubleshoot this issue:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742
if after following this article the mac continues to restart try running the apple hardware test to see if there is a hardware issue:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
if none of the above steps resolve your issue i would take to apple store or service provider to have it serviced. -
Hello, I have a problem with my mac book pro after running the battery dead on a game. The display has shrunk leaving two black margins on either side. What to do ?
Go to System Preferences>Displays and set the resolution to "Best for this computer" (or something to that effect).

Mac Book Pro - The screen cannot display problem
hi all,
I have a very urgent problem with my Mac Book Pro
Few days ago, when i were working with my laptop, suddenly the screen turned off but the hard drive still worked. I restarted but this problem still happen. Now when I turn on My laptop, i just hear the star up sound but the screen cannot display, it's all black. The apple logo doesn't light. Please help me ! very urgent !
Thanks a lot !I have the same problem. I got my macbook pro in November so it is less then 6 months old.
At first it would happen once in a while, and i would just restart it and it would be ok, but now it happens like at least once every day, some times I can get it to start working and some time i have to turn it off and leave it off the rest of the day. So if any one has as any idiea what to do to make this work your help is greatly apretyeted.
Thanks DavonB -
I WANT TO BUY A MAC BOOK PRO. MUST I WAIT FOR THE ONE WITH RETINA DISPLAY. WILL THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO CD ROAM BE A PROBLEM? CAN YOU USE AN EXSTERNAL CD ROAM WITH A MAC?
Apple will gladly sell you a color coordinated and texture matching external SuperDrive to go with your Retina'ized MBP for about $80 bucks.
Note that those models are completely sealed with no serviceable or upgradeable parts inside. So if you decide to bite the bullet, be sure to customize its guts to your heart's content from the get-go as no further change will be possible. This means CPU speed, amount of RAM and size of the solid state drive. Other external options, like the Superdrive, can be added later. -
Display of mac book pro retina 13 inch
On august 13th i purchased a mac book pro retina 13.3. It worked good for 3 months and then in November my display stopped working and gave it to apple service center in my college and after 3 days then gave me back saying it was some troubleshooting problem so they disconnected and then reconnected the display.
Now on 3rd January i had some flickering on my screen i restarted it but it nothing helped .Next day what i see is a big black dot on my screen with some horizontal and vertical lines.
straight away i took it to the store and the person there asks me 440 dollars as he thinks its a physical damage.
I mean without a scratch on any part of the laptop,without a crack on a screen or the body how can the display inside the glass screen can be damaged?
Is this the quality of the products ?
i get an answer from the person at apple store that even i dust particle gets stuck while closing the mac book can cause this problem.
Moreover there are no records of the service they did on my mac book in November and now after calling them they say that it will be updated today.
So if the quality so bad of the display that just by opening and closing the mac book the display got damaged?
I really want to know a person whom i can write this problem to?Thanks again Ugh,
