MacBook pro 13 2010 not working

my computer is not working anymore, was working perfectly until a moment's notice when I was very slow to start and would not go to the system just stayed in the logo and now I get a folder with question mark and nothing happens more. What I do?

The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running 10.7 or later) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.

I have a Serial Number which worked fine on my MacBook Pro but does not work on my desktop PC (Win 7). What is the problem?

You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you. But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

MacBook Pro (Late 2010) not booting up properly

I have a late 2010 MacBook Pro that will not start up properly, when I hit the power button the screen flashes white with the chime but no apple logo. The screen then turns off and the white indicator light starts flashing(at normal sleep speed) a few moments after bootup. During this process the magstrip stays solid green the entire time. While the front indicator is solid I tried making sure my screen brightness was not down or if I could turn up the brightness on my keyboard (which I couldnt) and the green light for the caps lock wouldnt come on either.
I have read through some other posts and have reset the NVRAM and tried to boot into safe mode, however I can not do such a thing with the screen turning off right after bootup.
Any help would be greatly appercaited, it was just working the other day and hasnt been moved so I'm lost as to what is wrong

Kinger2010,
you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it reach the login screen now?

Macbook pros to TV not working

I've been connecting my two Macbook pros (2008 & 2011 both on OSX) to a Sony Bravia TV for ages using a HDMI cable connected to a HDMI adaptor to Minidisplay. For some reason now the connection doesn't work. I've tried both computers, different HDMI cables, different adaptors, different ports on the TV (and entertainment center), and nothing works. When connected directly to the TV the screen remains blank, the laptop will flicker when the cable is first connected but then nothing. The laptops don't recognize the second screen at all. I've tried resetting the PRAM, unplugging and plugging, turning everything off and on, and restarting the laptop. Nothing has worked so far.

If your Mac is capable, look in System Preferences > Sound > ouput tab and select the TV or hold the Option key down and click on the Volume icon on the menubar to accomplish the same.
Here are the models that pass sound over HDMI and those that don't.
These Apple computers supply multichannel audio (up to 8 channels) and video signals over Mini DisplayPort:
iMac (Late 2009) and later
Mac mini (Mid 2010) and later1

1No additional adapter is necessary if you are connecting directly to the HDMI port on your Mac mini (Mid 2010) and later or your MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012).
These Apple computers supply only video signals over Mini DisplayPort:

Macbook Pro intranet will not work on iPads

I'm trying to set up an intranet network hosted on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. I have created a local web site hosted in the Apache server on the MBP, and I want 5 iPads to access it. Its event photos for sale. The problem is, the site shows up on the iPads ok, but when I tap a photo to enlarge it, it hesitates, then the browser crashes, every time, no matter what browser is used.
I'm using an Airport Extreme for the wifi. The problem occurs whether connected to the internet or not. I tried connecting the Airport to the MBP with an ethernet cable, and making a whole new intranet network on the Airport, and it still does the same thing, despite trying a lot of different configurations. So, I got a MAMP server, and it still did not help. I need it to work offline because the events I photograph rarely have internet access. I've tried using the peer-to-peer connection with the same result.
I have used the exact same system hosted on my iMac (identical operating system) with no problems.
I can't figure out what is wrong, any help would be appreciated!

2008 Macbook pro left click not working properly after upgrading to 10.6.8

I have a 2008 Macbook pro and a few months ago after upgrading to 10.6.8 my left click has been wonky.
Using the trackpad the left click eventually gets "stuck" or stops responding and I have to push it multiple times before it does anything. I have tried plugging in a mouse, but when I do so the mouse also behaves the same way. The only way I seem to be able to get the clicking to work properly is to restart the computer with the mouse attached.
I have seen threads about trackpads being messed up by swollen batteries, but my battery is brand new and looks fine, and the clicking problem extends to an external mouse, so I believe it is something with the preferences.
I tried deleting com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist and restarting and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then after about a half hour it returned.
Having to keep a mouse plugged into my macbook is driving me crazy, anyone know a solution?

I started having the same issue after update. I'm on a MacBookpro running 10.7.2
ICalled apple and they did a remove battery reboot, a reload lion and a option/command/R/P reboot on startup and then the computer started working. Two days later problem was back. I then did a reboot and the computer was back to working. Today the computer worked fine tell it went to sleep. I had to do a hard reboot to get the Mac up and running and now no left click. Please help. I can not use the Mac with the trackpad, a mouse, a Bluetooth mouse, or a digital pad. All so signs of left mouse click not working. One other item when you go to pick your user at startup the left mouse click works. Help!

My MacBook Pro trackpad is not working

My Macbook Pro was purchased in September 2009. The trackpad is not responding to clicks on the computer. The cursor is present and you can click the trackpad just fine, but it will not select what I click. It's very frustrating. It worked fine, but then all of a sudden it isn't. Help me with this issue please ASAP!

2007 MacBook Pro ctrl key not working

Hi all,
I have used various iterations of bootcamp with my 2007 macbook pro without problem. I have also sucessfully installed Windows 7 64-bit using bootcamp and got it working almost perfectly (sound, video, magic mouse) despite it not officially being supported by the version of bootcamp that came with Snow Leopard.
My only problem now is that the control lkey isn't working. I've tried various keymappers to map it to another key (generally the Apple key) to no avail. And when I say it isn't working, I mean it's not working at all. Key mappers don't recognise when I tap it, I can't Ctrl-C to copy or Ctrl-anything to anything.
I have installed the Apple keyboard driver and everything else works perfectly, including the F-keys, Fn, alt and the Apple key (which opens the start menu). Any suggestions for how I could fix this would be greatfully received.
Thanks,
Alexis

Sadly it turns out that it's not working in OS X either. I had convinced myself it was a software issue but it is apparently hardware. Shows how seldom the control key's used in OS X doesn't it.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how I might have a bash at fixing it, please let me know.
Thanks,
Alexis

Using EarPods Mic with MacBook Pro 17" (2012) - not working

hello,
FYI: computer is the early 2012 MacBook Pro - last of the 17" models. it has the 2 separate jacks... one for audio/mic IN and one for headphone OUT. not combined like in the smaller models.
FYI: using a brand new (early 2013) pair of EarPods that came with a new iPhone 5.
i love using the earpods plugged in to the headphone jack to listen to music whilst working. and i also use it to "listen" when doing video conferencing via Skype, iChat/Messages, & Hangout.
but when i'm in a noisier environment (cafe), it would be nice for the other people i'm talking to to hear be better than what the built-in mic can provide. people tell me they hear me great using the earpods when talking thru my iPhone in the same locations.
so, i thought, okay, i'll just get a Y-splitter/adapter... female input to 2 male outputs. recognizing that the earpods have 3 rings on the mini-jack (2 for stereo headphones & 1 for mic, i presume), i made sure the adapter male ends had at least 2 rings on them. found one at Radio Shack.
but it does not work! :-(
discovered audio output comes thru fine, but the computer doesn't recognize the mic input.
i've gone to System Preferences > Sound > Input...
and changed the selection from "Internal Microphone - Built-in" to "Line In - Audio line-in port" but the level meter just goes dead.
i've done some reading about the MBP only allowing "line level in" vs "mic level in" but i don't know what that means.
can this work? if not, why?
am i just missing some setting somewhere? if so, what?
do i need some different kind of adapter? if so, please point me to one.
THANKS!!!

Good that it was a simple solution. I've had some of the mice lose the BT association and you have to clear out the configs and re-pair the two.

NEW macbook pro power cord not working

I just bought my macbook pro 3 weeks ago and for some reason my power cord is not working to charge the computer. There doesn't appear to be any damage to it and I've tried plugging it in to different outlets etc. and no luck. I noticed one day that it was blinking on and off from charging and not charging and then the next day it just stopped working completely. Is this a common thing? Should I just go buy a new one?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your power adaptor is under warranty as well as your new Mac. If it isn't working, Apple should replace it for free under warranty.
You might want to try resetting the SMC:

This is likely the first thing they would do at the Apple Store, and it may well solve the charging problem.
Good luck!

New Macbook Pro number keys not working

Hi everyone,
I have a brand new macbook pro (running 10.6.4) who's number keys suddenly stopped working. The keys from 1 through 9 do not respond at all. Neither does holding down shift, while pressing them. The key rows below and above them work fine. I have the newest updates on the machine, and have restarted multiple times.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

This same issue happens to me frequently. I've lived with it for the most part just because I didn't want to spend my time running down Apple's glitch. I can not tell if it is a hardware, firmware, or software issue. I have a case number which is 163792369 that I've had since June. I've never taken it in because it is not consistent. I'm leaning towards an OS glitch. I have searched Apple's archives and found one reference to it happening on an earlier version of OS-X, but I was afraid to install the patch because of version differences. Please let me know if you get a solution from the customer support. It is somewhat frustrating as this is my first experience with a Mac and I understand it's a complex piece of machinery from a hardware and software perspective, but fresh out of the box the freak'in keys should work.
Thanks,
Shawn A. Peterson
It just works??? Most of the time.
