Macbook Pro 13" i5 2.4ghz - EFI Error
mb pro smc fails
Hello everybody!
1st day
yesterday my coworker spiller a glass of water in my mb pro...
i immediately turned off the mb pro ..
when i got back home i took apart the logic board and every other part except keyboard..
i cleaned everything with pure alcohol 96% and then put everything back...
it wouldn't even start..
then i took the logic board apart again and with my heat gun i reflow the gpu.
When i tried to start it up everything worked fine except...
when i have my battery connected the mb is slower than death..
when i disconnect the battery its slow to boot up to osx but when it boot its almost perfect..
Also .. to turn on the mb i have to keep pressing the power button until the white led on the right corner start flashing... if i just press it once wont turn on..
so my conclusion is that a fuse or something at the smc is bricked or something wrong with the voltage...
i put my logic board to another mb like mine and it does the same.
i tried different battery,magsafe,resseting smc, pram etc and still the same..
2nd day
i just tried to turn it on with bypassing the smc ..
it works ok as far as i think even with battery connected..
but fans a driving crazy!
also i used my multimeter when mb was connected with battery and i got the numbers in the image shown above..
i think some fuse is bad ..
*where it says 22+ it just going up and up the multimeter..
* where it says - its just coz if i change the polarity i get 1.
i'm not an electronic engineer [Smilie]

Installed Trend Micro Smart Surfing on new MacBook Pro and now it has caused error that won't let computer boot up. How do I get it to a point that I can delete program?
Try booting up in Safe mode (holding down the Shift key while booting). If the software came with an unistaller, use it to remove alll traces of the software - it's nothing that you need and, as you've experienced, can do more actual hard than good (as is the case with most software of this type). When you're booted in Safe Mode, if you can't run an uninstaller, at least check to make sure that there are no Trend Micro items that are set for automatic log in, at least.

We are Mountain Lion using Time Machine to backup to Time Capsule. When the backup tries to run, an error appears after a couple of minutes saying "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." Then an error shows up saying "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Time Capsule.The backup disk image /Volumes/Data/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle could not be created (error 60)"
I low level reformatted the Time Capsule and that didn't fix it. I then tried using Time Machine on another computer to back up to that same Time Capsule and it worked- so I'm doubting it's the Time Capsule.
I've noticed that when Time Machine runs, that a folder called Data at /Volumes/ appears while Time Machine is trying to back up. I think it's making the sparsebundle to transfer to the Time Capsule.
However, after a couple of minutes- it comes back saying that the disk is unreadable.
I think it's something wrong with either creating the sparsebundle or opening the disk image that seems to be a part of the Time Machine backup process on the local drive.
I am able to create a disk image with Disk Utilitiy without any problem on that system. I've repaired the disk and disk permissions with Disk Utility and replaced the directory with Disk Warrior. I've trashed what preference files I could find and restarted. I've completely removed the backup destination from the computer and added it back again.
Help!
Thanks,

Yes, exactly. It makes one sparse bundle per Mac.
It's possible the TC's disk is too full for a new sparse bundle, or there may be some other problem.
Via the Finder, locate the existing sparse bundle (see the pink box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17 if you're not sure how to do that). See how large it is (plus how large anything else that may be there). If the total is very near the size of the TC, that may be the problem.
If not, a clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. Locate the backup in question (probably the first one displayed), then copy and post all the messages here. -

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It looks like you ran Apple Hardware Test without plugging the MacBook to the charger. It's normal to see an error if you run Apple Hardware Test without your Mac plugged.

Purchased a new Macbook Pro 13". I used migration assistant to transfer. I can't backup to time capsule. I am getting on error "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Herb's Time Capsul/Herb MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 17). Help!
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
Select the System keychain in the list of keychains in the sidebar of the window. If you don't see the list, click the down-arrow icon below the sidebar.
Then select Passwords in the Category list at lower left. Click the Kind heading in the list of keychain items to arrange it by Kind.
Locate the AirPort Disk Password with the name of your Time Capsule. Double-click the item and check the box marked Show Password in the inspector window that opens. You'll be prompted for the administrator login password. Make a note of the AirPort password, then close the inspector window and delete the item.
Also delete any other AirPort DIsk Password items for that same Time Capsule, which may have had a different name in the past.
Quit Keychain Access and try again to back up. -
I can select a disk (Time Capsule) and initiate the backup. It only "waits to back up" then "making backup disk available" and remains frozen there. I tried to update the software a while back and was unsuccessful, I think that may be the issue.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. This is the error message I receive.

MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22).
The full error message says:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Charles Pelham's Time Caps/Charles Pelham’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 22).
I downloaded the widget and can highlight the full log, but can't copy it.The following procedure may or may not help, but it's worth a try.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the name of your hard drive that has the exact same name as the drive on your desktop. If you have not changed the name, it will be Macintosh HD.
Click Verify Disk Permissions and wait for the message. If you need to Repair Disk Permissions, go ahead and do this. Depending on how much data you have on your drive, it may take 30-45 minutes or more for this to complete.
Then try to setup the backup again. -

When trying to use my time machine got an error message "Time Machine could not complete the backup.
The backup disk image “/Volumes/ Time Capsul/ MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).
Any ideas?I have not found a long-term solution (fix), but in my case the volume where the Time Machine backup should occur usually is mounted on the desktop but not as a shared volume (incidated as a drive with the people holding hands superimposed over the drive icon). If I drag the drive to the trash (unmount it), the next time Time Machine is scheduled to run, it completes successfully.

HT3546 MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).
When i try to backup my Time Capsul I get the error (MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).)
please help my how I solv this problame?
Mrityunjoy BiswasI had this problem, and found that changing the name of my Time Capsule's hard drive fixed it.
You'll need to use Airport Utility to connect to your Time Capsule. My Time Capsule drive was named "Time Capsule HD." I renamed it to "Data," and that fixed the problem. -
Macbook Pro 13" Late 2011 16gb RAM error
Hi,
I've got a 13" Macbook Pro Late 2011, Intel i5 2.4ghz, 16gb RAM Corsair (mac branded), 500gb 7200rpm Seagate Momentus.
Recently my mac keeps restarting 3-4 times a day. I've done the Apple Hardware Test and I found out a problem with my memory (4MEM/9/40000000).
So I've tested each stick and the funny thing is that they both works well (without reporting errors) alone. When i put the second stick (no matter if the first or the second one), AHT shows up the error.
So, each stick alone -> OK
Two of them together -> BAD
I've tested also the two sticks that originally came with my mac (2x2gb) and everything went fine.
What do you think people?
Thanks!Me too!

Macbook pro doesn't work after EFI update.
My new macbook pro doesn't work. I bought it yesterday and after I've installed EFI update (it installed without any errors) my mac
"starts" with blank screen, no chime sound, with fans on (I guess - it's full speed). I've already tried those tricks with command+option+p+r and it neither work nor bring my mac to "life". Any ideas what this issue could be?I've got the same problem but with QT player (not PRO version)
I've installed the 7.1.2 update for quicktime and the audio and videos files on the net doesn't start I've got a "?" then I go to the quicktime prefs and I see that the entire QT plugins disapear
Besides the audio files and the video files on my HD work
so ,is someone can help me for finding the whole QT plugins ?
If it was impossible ,I suggest you to make a 7.0.4 reinstaller for 7.1.2 for Quicktime
