Macbook Pro 1.83ghz Woes - continiously being fixed - never working :(

I have a Macbook Pro 1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo - with lots of problems.
Back in November, it had problems with the Fans making a clunking / grinding noise and - the fans were replaced as well as the LogicBoard... This worked for up until a few weeks ago and then the right fan started playing up with the same issue and MBP was getting extremely hot - fans were running at 6-7000 RPM - even though iStat Pro isn't completely accurate - it was showing the .c temperature running at 85 degrees centigrade - pretty hot!!!
So 3wks ago, the right hand fan was replaced as well as temperature sensor on the Logicboard. Once fixed this worked for 3 days and then the fans went crazy and the MBP went stupidly hot again - right fan going crazy, rattling and clunking.
Installed Leopard 10.5.2 update > asked to restart > then HD failed to boot > No OS available etc. Took to be repaired, right fan replaced again and internal HD replaced.
Got the laptop back after parts replacement and testing, worked for a few hours and then right fan started its old tricks but then the left fan started doing the same - now both fans are whirring and making grinding noises AND the HD makes clunking noises (like the heads are slipping) when the disk gets busy!!
What can I do now? I'm gonna send it direct to Apple rather than this ****** 3rd party Apple Center that continuously fails to fix this Laptop.
Hopefully Apple can sort this out for good

This is sounding more and more like a lemon. I'd call AppleCare, tell them of your experiences, and if they won't replace your machine, ask to be patched up to Customer Relations and get a case number. This being a user to user board all we can do is offer you sympathy. Now if you are at a stage where you just got back the machine and it hasn't yet failed we can offer some tips to prevent failure.
AppleCare can be reached here:
http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
And don't give in to any excuses. Just take it through the chain until you get the response that satisfies you.

  • I bought a MacBook Pro in September 2011 and it has never worked well.

    I bought a MacBook Pro in September, 2011 and it has never worked well.  Are there known issues with this machine?  It just stops responding, usually for 3 minutes (especially when I'm working in iPhoto or Contacts).  I regret buying this machine.  I wish I could just go back to my previous MacBook Pro.  Any chance Apple will just exchange this for me without it costing me my other arm & leg? 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My left click does not work on my track pad on my macbook pro 13 inch, is there a fix

    my left click does not work on my track pad on my macbook pro 13 inch, is there a fix

    I recommend you to run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 It's possible that something is damaged, and Apple Hardware Test will help you finding it. Make sure you tick the option to run an extended test, and connect your Mac to the charger.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, you have to insert the Mac OS X DVD to run Apple Hardware Test. As you haven't got the SuperDrive, you will have to buy an external optical drive

  • Mid 2010 MacBook pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but display is sooo dark - like no backlight.  I think this is an LED screen.  Does anyone know the fix for this?

    Hi all...  My mid 2010 MacBook Pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but the display is very very dark.  A faint image can only be seen at an angle in very bright light.  I think this model has an LED screen.  Can anyone please tell me what the fix for this is?  Thank you sooooo much!

    Spill Cleaning
    Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
    Do
    Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
    Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
    Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
    Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
    Note what was spilled on your Mac.
    Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
    Don't
    Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
    Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
    Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).

  • Macbook pro 13 Late 2011 Hissing Headphones FIX

    Hi I've recently come across this 'hissing' low noise in my headphones, which start the moment I plug my headphones in. I went through multiple threads on this and people just don't have any fix for it. I have a fix for it; that worked for me and may work for you depending on the circumstances.
    Firstly, I have a Macbook Pro 13.3 late 2011 model. Never had this issue. I'm on the newest Yosemite. Nothing has changed with my macbook, expect one thing; my hardware setup. My charger cable had broke, so I had to get a new one. I bought it from a site called 'miniinthebox'. This was the change. Something so simple; a cheap quality charger, which when plugged in, made this noise that was unbearable. I'm assuming the cheap wires and materials used in this charger caused static with the power and outputted this sound.
    TL;DR
    If you just recently bought a new charger, or a new cable or any sort for your macbook, try and unplug it and see if the sound changes. My 3rd party charger is the cause of the hissing.
    Hope this provides some fix for anyone in the same situation. Good luck

    When did you buy it?
    Do you run it down to near zero % before recharging? Which is a bad thing to do.
    Do you charge it to 100% before you take it off the charger?
    Do you always disconnect the charger once it reaches 100% even if you are right next to an AC outlet. Which is a bad idea.
    Batteries only last so long. Over use it and it will go bad sooner.

  • What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed?

    When running Second Life or Worlds of Warcraft or just quick browing... anything graphically intensive on the MacBook Pro, the machine slows to a crawl, eventually completely freezes up. The cursor doesn't move, pressing the Caps Lock key does not change the Caps Lock light and the machine is no longer reachable from any other machine on the network. The only means available to recover is to hold the power button down until the Mac powers off and then restart it. This doesn't happen when running XP through boot camp and windows client versions of these programs. What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed? Thanks.

    I am not sure that this relevant to the discussion. But I am searching for anyone else who is seeing random freezes on 10.4. I usually don't see anything in the log after I have to do a hard reboot of the box. However, I have noticed some I/O messages when I have been able to console into an affected device, but have not captured to this point. Also, when I am able to console, the box will accept the login, but times out when trying to authenticate the password.
    I am also seeing a server freeze on my G4s. I am able to reproduce the problem with a clean install from the 10.4 disk. The issue is reproducible with tcpdump, dumpcap as well as tshark. I have also tried compiling the tools with different versions of libpcap. I am able to reproduce this problem every time with a packet generator sending small packets.
    It seems that the small packets aggravate the underlying cause. As the more small packets are sent the quicker I am able to reproduce the problem. With a mix of packet sizes, as seen in most networks, this issue is hard to reproduce. We have been using the G4 since 2003 as a packet analysis tool and it has been very stable up until we attempted to do analysis of a VOIP network with 10.4. The small RTP packets in conjunction with 10.4 seem to be the culprit.
    So far I am not able to reproduce the freeze on a 10.2 or 10.3 image. This is not isolated to bad hardware, as I have been able to reproduce on 4 different Xserves in my labs with similar configurations.
    I currently have a G4 set up in my lab and would be able to supply any info that may be needed to track down this issue. I have been thrust into administration on this box recently so I am not very familiar with debugging procedures on the Xserve or MacOS. However, I have the hardware and the test equipment that many in a production setting may not have at their disposal. So if anyone, with extensive knowledge of the Xserve or MacOS, is willing to work with me to track down this issue I am willing to do the leg work in the lab. I would appreciate any assistance that is available.

  • Since installing os x mavericks can't shutdown macbook pro(mid 2012) is there a fix?

    since installing os x mavericks can't shutdown macbook pro(mid 2012) is there a fix?

    I did the SMC reset and that did shut down the computer (did not notice if the power adaptor lite blinked) when pushed power button (after waiting approx. 30sec.) to see if computer would display same message -- it did! Here is report:

  • After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.  Is there a fix/test.

    After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly. 
    What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered".  It happens even if i resend it over and over.
    I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
    I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
    I have tried rebooting all three devices.
    The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
    Is this a "feature" of the new OS?

    Hi,
    On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
    Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
    Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
    The Restart the Mac Version
    Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone  is using.
    Do same on iPad.

  • I plugged in my ipod and now i get the error message: Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled" - i have a MAcBook pro and now my USB ports do not work - can anyone help me ???

    Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

  • I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • My Macbook Pro (bought in 2013) function keys are not working

    My Macbook Pro (bought in 2013) function keys are not working. The function keys ie the volume and brightness are not working at all both with one single tap and with the function button. I have checked the settings for the keyboard but nothing seems to stand out that is making the keys not work?
    Please can you help?
    Thanks
    Kat

    Some might suggest resetting the SMC, but I don't really think that will solve the problem. You can try, though.
    I would suggest, since you're still under warranty, taking your machine to your local Apple Store/AASP and letting them fix the problem. It could be any sort of hardware problem. Only the Apple techs have the tools to properly diagnose and repair the machine.

  • Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV.  I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on.  I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    You have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

    Abdussalam.A,
    you mentioned that Terminal does not work at all for your MacBook Pro. What currently happens when you run Terminal? In what way does it not work?

  • I download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works

    i download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works. i haven"t tried much, but only because i have no idea what to do.

    After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.
    Call back if you need any further help.
