My screen in my MacBook Pro is broken... I was told I could run it through a different monitor?? No luck so far

When I ran a DVI cable from my broken
MacBook Pro to an Acer monitor, my screen saver
Came up, but without any dock icons... So there
Is nothing I can click on to... Any ideas??
Thanks!!!!

Did you have the screen open on your MBP when you connected the external monitor? If so, then it probably defaulted to use it to extend your existing desktop. If you close teh screen and work in "clamshell" mode, then it should see the external monitor as the only onitor and display everything there. You would need an external keyboard & mouse attached for that to work properly though.

Macbook pro retina broken!!!

I just bought this Macbook pro 13'' retina a week ago
The display broken like this (Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec-G2X9YMV4 )
What can I do next ?

Hello there,
I just had a look to your retina display and i think and i am quite sure its't your display causing the problem. It be either of these two problem:
1. There could be some software issue which can easily be fixed by reinstalling the OS X.
2. It could be your Iris Pro graphics, it might not be working well which is a hardware problem. Does it happen to all the programs on your Mac? Have a close look. If i happens only when browsing try using some other internet browser and check the exact same website where you previously had issues in. If seems the problem hasn't been solved run on built system diagnostic and see if there is any code. Check this links which will help to understand the program. Using Apple Diagnostics. If get any code after the diagnostic has been done go to this page to check what does your code mean Apple Diagnostics: Reference codes .
*NOTE: If you have any graphics failure the only way to get this fixed is by changing the logic board!
Hope it helps.
Regards.

Older macbook pro with broken screen and secondary monitor

So I have an old 2007 macbook pro that was upgraded to mountain lion (I don't remember what version of it though). The screen broke and I'm trying to hook it up to my tv to use it as a screen as a quick fix for now. Of course, it's opening on the second desktop but I need it to open to my normal desktop without being able to see my main screen. Is that possible, and if so, how? Ps. The disc drive doesn't work either so that can't be used.

If you intend to install Leopard, I suppose you have an old MBP, right?
On mine (2007 Core2duo alu, grey keyboard), I can use F7 key to switch display when using an external screen. Does it help?
I'd advise you not to use an external drive, but install your external drive (provided it's 2.5") in your MBP.

Using my tv instead of my macbook pro's broken display

The display on my MacBook Pro has recently stopped working. I want to use my tv as my display until I can fix the laptop display. I bought the adapter and the hdmi cable and hooked it up to my tv. The screen shows up but instead of mirroring my display it is set up as an additional screen. I know normally I could go into the display settings and change what I want the external monitor to do, but the problem is I can't see the display settings because they are being displayed on my laptop monitor that is nothing but a black screen. Is there any keys I can press to switch the displays or set up the external to mirror the main display without using the display settings menu.

Wow! I think I had this same issue just last night.
I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside. Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly. It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle. Of course I took no pictures!!! I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
But I digress... The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect. After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though. There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top. After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen. I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background. After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle. After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange. But I believe that might be all in my head now.
So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

Macbook Pro Harddrive Broken?

Hi all,
I appreciate you're all busy people - but if you had a second, some advice would be brilliant. (Also - apologies in advance for being a hardly a tech genius).
I have a MacBook Pro (2010), not sure of which version of OS X, and during normal internet surfing crashed. On starting the machine back up I only got to the grey screen with apple logo and spinning grey wheel. A loading bar then appeared however only loaded a tiny bit before crashing.
I have no files/data I care about on the machine, I'd just love to have it working again!
Initial attempts made to rectify:
     - Safe Boot (Shift)
               - Unsuccessful
     - Resetting PRAM & NVRAM (P)
               - Unsuccessful
Last attempt
     - OSX Internet Recovery (Command-R)
               - Loaded Disk Utility, I then followed online advice about how to try to repair my hardrive, but the hardrive comes up in red coloured font on the left window                and says it cannot be repaired. I then tried to repair a part of it (I think) by erasing to zero out once which took about 2 hours, but still hasnt fixed the                overall problem I dont think.
My incredibly naive take on this is that my harddrive is knackered and needs replacing and I need to re-install an operating system. Is this correct? If so any idea which hardrive/how much it might be? (Also - I haven't got my previous copy of OSX - is it easy/cheap to get one??)
Any assistance would be brilliant.
Thanks for your time guys,
Andrew.

Macs use regular 2.5" SATA IDE hard disk, so finding a replacement should be no problem. Try to remove the hard disk and get a similar size hard disk to make sure it will fit. Try to connect the hard disk to another computer, preferably a Mac. If possible, reformat the hard disk. Install the reformatted hard disk back (or new hard disk, if the old hd cannot be salvaged) then install new OS X. OS X 10.9 Maverick is free, 2010 MacBook Pro should be compatible.
However, if I remember correctly, there's problem with 2010/2011 MacBook Pro's heat sensor. The faulty sensor will shut down the Mac when it detect (falsely) an over-heat. If that's the case, try to find out if your MacBook is eligible for free replacement/repair -- since it's a motherboard problem, it'll be very difficult to repair by yourself.

HT4904 The link for mid 2010 15/17 inch macbook pro is broken

mid 2010 15 inch leads to the early 2010 efi....is there another for mid 2010?

Hey,
Perhaps this is relevant ..........
(1) I have a very late 17" macbook Pro. (It is actually the somewhat rare 2.5 quad model.) One of the very last ones made.
(2) It comes with 1333 ram
(3) I swapped in 1600 ram
(4) IT IS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN, THAT, THE MACHINE RUNS MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH FASTER when you have 1600 speed ram.
(Indeed, it runs 1600 / 1333 = 1.20x faster on all memory operations - it's just that simple and obvious.)
I did many tests back-and-fore swapping the slow and fast ram, and it is very, very obvious, the speed difference. Most operations on computers are just memory bound - everything from startup to rendering and the like is quicker - obviously and clearly quicker - with faster ram.
(5) I have had utterly no problems running the faster ram. It reports and runs the ram utterly normally, no problem.
(6) These machines cost thousands, and ram cost a few dollars - there seems very little reason you wouldn't do this.
(7) I do have one of the very last 17" mbp. (It was "old new stock" - I bought it unused in March 2013.) So, it's possible that OLDER 17" mbp will not run 1600 speed RAM. But, I mean it costs like $100 to try, on a fantastic machine worth $1000s, so it's a huge win at low cost if it works.
I hope this helps future readers!!! Cheers

Macbook Pro charger broken still under warranty

My macbook pro charger has a little split. The charger in still in the warranty period but I don't have the receipt. Just wondering will Apple replace my charger?

Check you warranty status here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If the warranty is in effect, I should think the charger would be coverrd if the problem is not caused by abuse.
Ciao.

Macbook pro charger broken in China, warranty?

Says it all in the question, meanwhile I have had my Macbook Pro for nearly 4 months and the charger is on it's way out. I was wondering if it may still be covered by the manufacturers warranty? The main problem is that I'm currently in China for the longterm and was bought in the UK. Is it possible to get it exchanged here?
Thank you,
Chris

I don't see how I'm going to prove that it's within the warranty period, surely they will be able to check at the store you would think?

Late 2008 MacBook Pro 17" broken screen display

I have been using my old MacBook Pro (A1261) for some design work since 2008. It's been a good sport and I love it dearly. Unfortunatelly, recently my screen started working intermittently. This week it has died completely. I am not convinced it's worth having it repaired as it might cost more that the laptop itself. Could anybody help me view my display using another laptop or TV? I have previously been able to view it's display on my LG TV (even when the mac displayed wasn't working) using the DVI External Display Port but I have changed my display settings so I am unable to connct it now. I have also been able to detect its display on my Mac Book Air but again, I must have changed the setting because I get no luck this time. I have been using BootCamp and most of my design work sit in the Windows part (pardon my lack of IT jargon) so perhaps I could retreive it using a PC??? Any help would be much appreciated

You are right about the cost of screen replacement if you have it done (by Apple $700-600, by others $400-500, approximately.) I spoke to my (authorized independent) Mac repair shop when a friend trashed his screen and my Mac guy told me to replace it for him (I'm a geek) because I could do it for under $200 in parts and the DIY instructions on ifixit dot com. If you're a little geeky and have a couple of tiny tools, you can too.
Your other option is to use the mini displayport to hook up to a HDTV or external monitor. I can't tell you the exact procedure because this is the Mac Pro forum, not the MacBook Pro forum and I don't know all the details for those tiny machines. I figure if you wrote that post you can also read, so I'd suggest reading the Mac Help files that are included in the OS. It can't be that hard.
good luck

Unobody 17" Macbook Pro 9600M broken gfx card?

Has anyone else been getting some pretty bad issues with the graphics card in the new unibody 17" machines? I have been getting some pretty bad green lines down everything when I use the more powerful GFX card.
This machine is brand new.. the lines do seem to get worse as the card heats up...take a look..

Possibly but I had FOUR macbook pros of the previous incarnation, and this is why they allowed me a replacement with the unibody.. now i have more problems that others seem to be having.. I wonder how long it will be before they determine if this is a hardware fault.. or it can be sorted with firmware?
I cant believe that SO many people have the same issues, surely there can't be so much bad graphic card hardware out there?

Macbook Pro Plastic Broken?

So i baught a mbp and my warranty is up and the plastic around the border is crooked how can i get this fixed if my warranty is up?? heres a image below.
http://img25.imageshack.us/i/dsc00137lxo.jpg/

The upper part of the case runs $119.00-$179.00 form iFixIt. I new one from Apple plus labor I'm sure would be higher yet.
Apple did have some heat issues with early MacBooks causing warping. You might call Apple Customer Relations and see if they may fix it for you. I've heard of some people getting them fixed out of warranty.

MacBook Pro mirror broken help!!!!

I have just downloaded the newest operating system and my mac book pro will not connect to air play mirror through my apple tv. please help!!!!

As I found out after the upgrade to ML, the airplay mirror will only work on 2011 or new systems. So I do not know how old yous is, but for mine as a 2007 model it will not work. Yes I'm a little upset because on ALL the splash screens on the airplay mirror as a new feature, it says nothing about the limitations. You have to go elsewhere to find the tech specks on it.

MacBook Pro overheating - broken fan?

Hey guys,
I've had my laptop for a year and a half (since summer 2009) and I've had virtually no problems until recently. About a month ago, the fan would occasionally make a bit of a funny noise, but it didn't affect anything.
Then for the past few weeks, whenever I watch a video of some kind (netflix, hulu, youtube), the image starts getting choppy and my computer heats up. I downloaded iStatPro and smcFanControl, and both say that the only fan listed (Exhaust) is running at 000rpm and the temperature (of the cpu) gets up to 107 degrees CELSIUS. This is absurdly hot and I feel like I should be cooking on my laptop instead of using it normally.
I don't know much about computers, but I think it's safe to deduce that the fan is broken, right? And if so, how long do you think it would take to get fixed?
Thanks everyone!

Yes, you can safely conclude that you need a fan replaced. As for how long it will take, only the place doing the repair can answer that. The job itself is quick, but the part may not be on hand and there may be other repairs ahead of yours in line. Get it in for service ASAP, and don't let it get close to 107° again in the meantime — that's too hot. The MBP should shut down for its own protection at about 105°.
Back up your hard drive before taking the machine in for service.
