many thanks Carl.

You must boot from another drive in order to erase the system drive.
Try starting up with Snow Leopard DVD inserted and C depress. That should get you booted from the DVD. Then start Disk Utitlity from DVD and erase the disk then you should be able to install Snow Leopard.
Remember that everything will be removed from the disk when you erase it and install Snow Leopard so backup first.

Mac Book Pro heating up and fans working continuously

Hi,
This is my second Mac Book Pro, the first one "died" because of heating issues and only after an overhaul from the Mac Store, it worked again, but never the same, so I went to the Mac Store to get another one.
I purchased this one on March 2009 and three days ago it started heating up and using the fans constantly, consuming my battery very fast and making the annoying noise these little fans make. Not to mention the heat above the function keys is way beyond normal (normal: not burning your fingers when touching it for a couple of seconds).
Having had a bad heating experience with a previous Mac, I am freaking out now. Any advice on what should I look at before going to a Mac Store?
I don't use any games or very sophisticated software, basically Office, Firefox and iTunes with movies and everything included.
Here are some of my Mac's specs.
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Thank you very much indeed,
Roberto

Well it looks like there's a printer driver that is monopolizing your CPU. Do you have a Lexmark printer that you use? If so, here's a few things to try:
Download the latest print drivers for Lexmark and install them:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL901
Open Print & Fax in System Preferences and delete your Lexmark printer. Then hit the "+" symbol and add the printer back. That will let it install the new drivers.
If that doesn't work, check out the response by "Pitch64" near the bottom of this thread:

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.

Yet another Mac Book Pro (A1211/2.33 GHz) freeze problem

Hi everyone,
I have yet another freeze mystery, if people fancy having a crack at it.
I had this notebook for about 4 and a half years and it served me well until 2 months ago. It is a 15' MBP from December 2008 (A1211) with a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB of RAM.
Now I constantly get lags or freezes while I am using it.It manifests itself via the beachball and a frozen screen. First, I thought it was the hard drive but I replaced it with a tested new one and I still get the same behaviour. The reason I thought it was the HD is that it seems to freeze often when there was a lot of access to HD or memory. For example, firefox would cause a freeze quite often when it was trying to access the cache or history. I get the same behaviour when trying indexing my music for the genius feature. Often when I close applications, it will halt the system for about 2 minutes.
I think the number of lags also correlates with temperature. I am pretty sure that the notebook's heat diffusion properties has deteriorated strongly over the past year as it seems to be using the fans a lot more extensively. The heatsink seems to get really hot these days as well. So my next step would be checking the thermal paste on the heat sink. Before I am going to do that, I want to consider any remaining options as dismantling the laptop up to the heatsink is a bit of a pain.
My gut feeling would be that it has to do either with the memory or maybe some 'bridge' that transfers the data between HD, GPU, CPU and memory. I am aware that bridge is the wrong word and I am simplifying the architecture of the mainboard too much, but I am sure you get what I mean. The data rate between some of those is inhibited.
The reason why I am saying some is that often the system seems overwhelmed by the amount of commands, just sits there and then resumes executing all of them as it had taken a break. This can be easily seen when streaming video in a web browser. I often get the beach ball and my whole screen freezes, but the movie, or at least the sound, keeps running in the background. After a while it usually resumes and shows the movie at the current playing position. Sometimes it doesn't recover, not even after 30 minutes and I have to switch it off.
I hope I provided enough information for you guys to have a think about this.
Any help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.

Before re-installing the operating system, which might also work, I found this article helpful:
http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/Fix-Spod-How-To-Fix-A-Spinning-Pinwheel -Of-Death.htm
I've followed the directions since they seem to make sense and am waiting for the next Pinwheel of Death. They seem to be saying the same thing you are Chris, but ascribe the problem to 'permissions' which are fixable (gasp) via the OS disc utility.

Mac book pro 13 (v8.1) airport connection problem snow leopard

Hi!
my MBP 13 (8.1). on Snow OS. It's 2 day old and I have a serious bug! It was working perfect until batery power down... now won't connect to ANY WIRELESS. I can't turn on and off the airport on my laptop!
My network is an airport extrem (7.5.2). I own an older MBP (1.1) work perfect! I changed all possible setting of the airport (rebust network, 5ghz, 2.4ghz, 801a/b/n, password/no password, default setup, reset, etc...) nothing work for the new laptop anymore, and i did restart, change airport setting, bla bla bal...!
I will try to reset the 2 tings talked over other threads (SCM and PRCAM or something like so...), but ****, it's brand new, don't feel like reset a 2 day old computer... I've been using mac over 20 years, profesionnaly, and now i'm getting despointment... and big time!
Thx!

If it's not your hard drive and it's not your system that leaves either your user account or your connection. But that wouldn't account for trash error messages.
Have you tried repairing your usser account by
Booting up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
From the menu bar choose Utilities then select Terminal.
At the prompt type resetpassword
Press return
The Password reset utility will launch (do not reset password)
Instead, click your Mac hard drive.
Then from the drop-down select the user account you want to repair. At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac.
If it's not that then you need to go to System Preferences > Users & Groups and remove your Login Items and test. I know the problem is that it's intermittent but you'll need to run w/o them for a while or in a fresh test account to see.

Hard Drive / software issues on Mac Book Pro

I am a new MAC owner! I have splashed out on a 17" Mac Book Pro with standard configuration of 2Gb Ram and 160GB HD. iLife 2006 is on as standard and I have loaded Parallels with MS XP service pack 2, Office 2004 iWorks 2006 and Reunion Family tree software and iTunes with all my music transfered from my old PC which fills about 8GB on my 80GB iPod. Last night I tried to load my back up documents from a portable HD it all started ok then an error message said not enough memory. When I checked the HD there was only 8.14Gb of space left on the HD with the rest being taken up. iTunes seems to have 79GB of space and iPhoto abot 60GB with about 100 photos in.
Does anyone know where all my HD resources are? Have I inadvertantly given everything over to windows in some strange way? What has happened? HEEELLLP! Please.

it might be worth reposting over in one of the Mac Book Pro forums. (you're currently posting in iTunes for Windows, and the Mac specialists may not see you here.)
Mac Book Pro
a note about your itunes problem on the old PC:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4446770#4446770
... what you're getting there is consistent with itunes being run in an odd "Display Settings" compatibility mode.
use the following document to find where the compatibility mode controls are kept:
iTunes for Windows: How to turn off Compatibility Mode
now below the checkbox discussed in that document, you should see three different checkboxes in a "Display Settings" area. make sure that none of those boxes are checked.
does that help with the display problem on that PC? (if you've still got it about?)

Got the mic working in Skype w/Windows 7 RC 64 bit on Mac Book Pro

I managed to get the mic working in Skype running Windows 7 RC 64 bit on my Mac Book Pro.
It's a Skype problem. The program automatically selects the DIGITAL input. You need to change it to the RealTex internal microphone.
From Skype, go into Tools -> Options -> Audio Settings and make sure the microphone is selected instead of the digital input.
Works for me.

You may need to modify the installer script that may block anything beyond certain build; or install drivers individually.
Boot Camp 2.1 is now over a year old. There ARE newer drivers on newer later copies of OS X, both retail (10.5.6) and OEM, and in order to be "compatible" those are still 2.0.xxx versions. People have run into trouble installing their newer BC only to have BC 2.1 corrupt their install.
Snow Leopard includes later drivers and part of BC 3.0.
I bought Leopard (10.5.0) before I needed or wanted really to - I felt it would need six months to work out the kinks, but I also wanted 'new' Boot Camp, too. Well, it had 2.0 all right, but same drivers as Boot Camp 1.4 beta from Sept '07 and earlier.
Windows 7 is pretty good about finding what is missing or needed, but there are some motherboard specific drivers it may not provide. Some news sites have said that later builds than 7100 have support for Nvidia logicboards and others that were missing or problematic... but I'd hold off and avoid leaked builds.
If you can tolerate or live with limited functionality or source drivers and patch things, even the Apple installer and drivers, you may be okay.
I'm impressed, Windows installer, update, ability to rollback, check points, and how well it runs. Much more reliable and stable and problem free. One thing I would do is make sure you have enough room, and allow 20GB / 24% free space just so you have a couple restore check points in case you need to. It is all too easy to use 10-15GB for those and come in handy.
Any vendor that writes API and drivers has found they have their work cut out, and that of course includes Kaspersky and others.
The first and only time I attempted to install Apple Setup Windows put up an alert "Known Incompatible" known to cause stability issues or something. And I was and generally do use the Windows 7 Compatibility Mode for installing drivers (control click).

Why is my Mac book pro heating up after a few minutes

why is my mac book pro overheating and the fan not coming on?

What is the EXACT model MBP that you have?
Open Activilty Monitor and set it to ALL PROCESSES and set CPU to display values from high to low.
Download iStat menus:

When your MBP gets 'hot', post images of both for evaluation.
Ciao.

Mac book pro is not charging fully. any USB i use is disengaged by the computer as 'it uses to much power'. Can anyone help me please

My Mac book Pro seems to have a power problem. I have used a telstra prepaid USB for 18 months as broadband. It has been great.
Yesterday, I downloaded Mozilla Firefox.
Sometimes later, I got a message that the USB ( telstra broadband toogle) had been disabled because it was drawing too much power from the computer and could cause damage.
I trashed Mozilla to see if that would fix the problem - it didn't.
I tried a second USB and got the same message.
I notice that the power % to my computer is slowly dimishing, even though I have the computer plugged in.
Looks like I have a reasonable problem.
Can anyone tell me how to sort out the problem please?

Control key (^) combined shortcuts does not work on mac book pro

All shortcut combinations with the control key (^) do not work. I´m using Mac Book Pro 13 (late 2013) with Os X Mavericks 10.9.4

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.

Cost of replacing a fan in a mac book pro

HOw much does it cost to have the fan in 15 inch mac book pro replaced

The last time I had my fans replaced (2011) the cost of each fan was $17. Labor was about $34 for a total cost of $68. But I had both fans replaced. This was on a 2006 MacBook Pro so your prices may be different.
