Macbook pro 13" 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 with temp at 90degcelcius
Hi, i just got a macbook pro 13" yesterday, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7. I previously owned a 13" macbook pro also. However, my concern is that when i'm not using any applications and nothing is running, the laptops' temp goes up to 90degrees celcius. Why is this so? And I have to manually increase the fan speed to 6000rpm using smcfancontrol.. Please help.
If there are no applications open, then clearly something is wrong. Take advantage of you warranty and have the Apple technicians at the genius bar fix the problem.
You could run a Apple Hardware test just to see if you can pick up any faults. I would not be surprised if your MBP has a bad heat sensor.
Ciao

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro 17'', 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 (late 2011). I dont know what happened but the screen shows red flickering pixels everywhere where it should be black, and light blue pixels where it should be gray, I had this problem twice, the first time it just disappeared by itself. Now it's been like this for days, I have really no clue.
Anyone with the same problem or solution?
This is how it looks like:
ThanxIs that a camera picture or a screen-shot? Is there any difference? i.e., can you capture the problems in a screen shot, or not?

Change SSD on Macbook Pro 17" 2.5 GHz intel Core 2 Duo late 2008
Now I'm using Macbook Pro 17" 2.5 GHz intel Core 2 Duo late 2008. I would like to know if it is possible to change my 250Gb HDD to a SSD? What is the max of Gb?
Yes, it is possible. The capacity of the drive is limited by what the manufacturers of SSDs are producing and, of course, by the depth of your pockets. Expect to spend $600-900 USD for a 250GB or 256GB unit and $1000-$1600 for a 512GB SSD.

What is a recommended decompression software for a non-Lion compatible MacBook Pro 1,1 2 GHz Intel Core Duo running OS X Version 10.6.8?
My thanks to you and all other respondents. In backing up "theVault" App I thought that my ancient version of Stuffit was inadequate to unzip the backup file. I attempted to download the latest Zipit version which only works with Lion. After upgrading to Stuffit 9 I realized that theVault backup file was encrypted so as to not open on the backup Mac. One must restore to the iPhone where is does open.
My apologies for the imprecise post. I am finding limitations with not being able to install Lion on my early MacBook Pro. I can recommend theVault to those looking for a password App with secure backup. -
I have a MacBook Pro Retina (2,3 GHz Intel Core i7 - 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 - Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB). I use KompoZer for my website, but after installing OS X Yosemite it doesn't work right (I cannot see images in the website).
It's beta open source software so I'm not surprised. It does't look to be too active a project, so I don't know if it will help or not but you might be maybe better off posting a bug report on their Sourceforge page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/

One thing to keep in mind is that while you'll be amazed at the increase in performance an SSD can deliver over a HD, the two storage mediums work differently, and one of the OS features SSD's benefit from is TRIM. While you've probably seen a lot of discussion and disagreement about that on these forums, this article about the Samsung 840 EVO SSD also goes into how SSD performance changes over time for a variety of SSD's. The narrative is interesting but the graphs are an eye-opener, showing how relatively successful Garbage Collection alone vs GC + TRIM are in recovering full performance. That's the good news.
The bad news is that while activating TRIM is simple, activating it with Yosemite installed has a real down-side. So if you haven't upgraded to Yosemite yet, you might keep that in mind. -
Will my Macbook 13" late 2006 take the RAM from a Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo?
I have a macbook 13" late 2006 and i found it was cheaper to buy a 13" Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo Ram, I was just wondering if the ram out of the pro model will fit my older model?
Some basic guesses from http://www.everymac.com
MacBook 13" Late 2006 is a MacBook2,1 and that uses PC2-5300 DDR2 667 MHz ram.
MacBook Pro 13" did not use 2.4 GHz but the first of the 13" models was the MacBook Pro7,1 and that uses PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz ram.
Those are not compatible and cannot be used interchangeably. -
Can't upgrade from 10.8 to 10.8.1 on Macbook Pro 17" 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
When I try and upgrade on my 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 17" from 10.8 to 10.8.1 there is no update in Software Update/App Store.
So I have downloaded the 10.8.1 patch from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1571 it says that my machine "OSX Update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirments for this update."
I had no problems updating with my iMac to 10.8.
Anyone know if this a problem or is 10.8.1 update for certain models?
Thanks in advance.If I understand correctly you seem to be getting kernel panics. These can be caused from software and sometimes hardware. You can try the normal list of things. Reset the SMC, PMU, create a another user account and run in that account to see if the problem occurs. Also try repairing permissions from the original disc. you should also look at your battery information to see what the health of the battery is. You can do this via system profiler. I would also run Hardware test from the second install disc that came with your computer. This could help you rule out any hardware problems. Ram can be hard to troubleshoot since it can work fine one minute and not work the next. Also sometimes the hardware test can come up with false problems. I always note the problem and run the test a second time to make sure it was not a false error. If all those things do not fix the problem, I would consider doing a archive and install. This way you could rule out a software problem.
Instead of sending it in I suggest you take it to your local apple store if there is one close to you. They sometimes get repairs done faster.

My macbook pro 13" 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB DDR3
what kind of 8GB RAM do you recommend to upgrade my laptop? is it samsung 2x8GB DDR3 or Kingstone 2x8GB DDR3?
or is there something better than those two?
Regards,As long as you get the correct type/model of RAM for your particular computer, brand does not really matter.

MacBook Pro Display - 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Late 2008 vintage
Diplay issue with a couple of weird twists....Display has suddenly become VERY pixilated. Tried re-booting with no luck. Graphics Card failing?? I attempted to take "Screen Shot" to include on this post.....The Screen shot looks perfect so no use including. That leads me to believe it has something to do with Display generation.
Ideas?
BTW, computer has been BULLET PROOF for four years and running perfect....worth fixing if possible.
ThankisDid you find out what was going on? I am having a similar problem. Same year, model and has always run just fine.

I have a mac computer 3.2 Ghz intel core i3 with memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3, I have recently purchased an new macbook and have yosemite software and iCloud . I can no longer us my mac to open up recent numbers documents from my macbook. I am unable to upgrade to allow me to get the current numbers version on my mac. What do I need to do to get all my machines woking in harmony again
On each machine turn on iCloud and sync all the available apps. Apple explains how to set up iCloud in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
After doing this run software update on each machine and install all the suggested updates. If you still need help installing the most up-to-date versions of iLife and iWorks open the Mac App Store - click the Purchased tab and update all that need to be updated. -

Old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo) camera not working with Mavericks
I have an old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, I think 2007), builtin camera not working and I think it is related to mavericks update.
Anyone had the same problem, and if yes what is the solusion?Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
