Macbook pro 17" 2.6ghz missing device

I've got a missing USB device when I do an install on a newer (non penryn) Macbook pro.
I'm also getting my Isight showing up routinely as a "USB video device" and/or being unrecognized... and every now and then my USB starts beeping on and off saying I've got stuff hooked up as 1.0 instead of 2.0 (even if I don't have anything hooked up)
I'm running the 2.0 Boot Camp off the install disks.
BTW... how does apple release driver updates for Boot Camp?

Apple drivers will be available by running Apple Update under Windows, the same way you would update the Windows version of iTunes.

    Do you connect the charger in the MacBook Pro battery damage if using device ?
    i am sorry i not good speak english

    Provided you are using the correct charger for your Mac (13" have a 65 watt charger, 15" and 17", an 85 watt charger), it has enough capacity to power the computer for normal tasks, and the leftover power can charge the battery at the same time. If you are doing something very intensive, there may not be leftover power, but the Mac will take power from the battery if needed. Once the battery is fully charged, the pilot light in the charger plug will change from orange to green and no further charge will be applied to the battery.
    You can use your Mac plugged to the charger with no damage to the battery or the computer.

  • Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?

    Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?
    As of today feb 15 i have been waiting for 78 days. Finland doesn't have an official apple store (only authorized resellers) It was my mistake because i should have bought from apple.com. But i think 2.5 months is too long and i have no information about when i can get it..

    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 256 GB SSD costs $2,000. 
    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,300. 
    With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD it costs $2,500.
    The high-end 15” rMBP with a 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,600.
    All cost $500 dollars more with a 1 TB SSD.
    So the SSD size is not a differentiating factor unless you prefer 256 GB.
    If you think you need 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD then you might as well spend the extra $100 for the high-end model.
    The high-end model will make a difference on gaming and graphics-oriented applications.
    They tend to run other applications at about the same speed.
    Both models are rated with 8 hours of battery life.
    Benchmarks on PhotoShop comparing memory sizes:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30
    The speed was about 10% different between 8 GB and 16 GB models.
    On other applications your mileage may vary.
    Application benchmarks:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/2059215/15-inch-retina-macbook-pro-review-a-tale -of-two-laptops.html
    The low-end and high-end performed the about the same on non-graphics oriented applications.
    Graphics oriented benchmarks:
    On the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark the high-end was about twice as fast.
    On the Unigine Heaven Benchmark benchmark they ran at about the same speed.
    On the Unigine Valley Benchmark benchmark the high-end was about 1.5x as fast.

  • My Macbook pro will not recognize external devices

    My MacBook Pro will not recongize external devices such as hard drives

    I know that is of no help, but I have the same problem with a Toshiba harddrive. My wifes Macbook Air recognizes it. No problem with the hd I guess. But my macbook pro won't show it in the Finder, About this mac or disk utility - even though it is running. I would also be glad to get a solution to this.

  • 2011 Macbook Pro 17" Thunderbolt port "No Device Connected"

    Please help!
    I have a 2011 (early) 17" Macbook Pro (8,3)
    Core i7 - 2.2
    Boot Rom: MBP81.0047.B27
    SMC: 1.70f6
    Running Yosemite 10.10
    I recently purchased a Akitio Thunderdock.
    ***It does not mount and when I check the system report, the thunderbolt bus shows "No Device Connected."
    I reset the PRAM numerous times.
    Reset the SMC.
    Everything is plugged in correctly, with a proper thunderbolt cable.
    When I attach the thunderbolt cable to the MBP, the blue LED on the on the dock lights up. (meaning link connected)
    But the thunder dock will not mount. 
    Thunderbolt specs:
    Route String: 0
    Link Status: 0x101
    Firmware Version: 20080d.0
    Status: No device connected
    Port Micro Firmware Version: 1.2.1
    Before I got the dock I used (and still do) use the thunderbolt port with a mini display adapter to connect a 2nd display. 
    (works fine for this function.)
    Thank you for your help.
    J.
    ***Before suggesting it's the dock/power/bad cable:
    I tested the Thunderdock with my GF's Macbook Air (2013) it mounts fine and sees every port on the dock (USB3, eSATA, FW800).

    Same here.
    Did anyone try to downgrade to Mavericks?

  • I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices.  If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

    Can I get rid of one  ID?  How do I do that?

    one on my MacBook Pro
    That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.
    If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs
    Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

  • I can't add my MacBook Pro to "My support Profile" devices

    I just changed my MacBook Pro from one iCloud account A to account B. I then logged in 'My Support Profile' on account B to add it to 'My Products'. When I typed in the serial number, I got the message
    "According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products."
    I then logged in to account A to check if the device was maybe still listed on it; it wasn't. So, I believe "your records" are wrong - is this just because of a delay of a couple hours or is there a more serious problem?
    By the way, I've been able to download iCloud music on my MacBook from account B, so it's definitely communicating with account B all right.

    You aren't addressing Apple here.  This is a user to user technical support forum.  Also, this has nothing to do with iCloud, even though you may have registered it with the same ID you use for iCloud.  Regardless of what ID you use for iCloud, you can register your Apple product with any valid Apple ID.

  • Have storage optimised with Photo Library but need more space - How do I delete photos just off my MacBook Pro and not from other devices and icloud

    Hiya,
    I moved a 40GB file off my MacBook Pro to make room so that I could enable the iCloud Photo Library. I optimised the storage but during this process it used 10GB of space and so I cant now put back the file I took off my mac. I though that once I had optimised the storage I would gain space not loose it!. So i'm wondering how can I delete photos off my MacBook and not off all my devices and so I can get this 40 GB file back on ??
    Cheers

    Hi, that's how it works. photos in Photo Stream are these ones that actually exist on your Camera Roll. Photo Stream is an iClous service that helps you to share photos. Just think about Dropbox or any other cloud services, isn't it that you delete a file on your computer, then found the file no longer exist on your other devices?
    If you want to keep the photos while making them occupy less space, I suggest you try SafeEraser's Photo Compressor feature. It compress the photos and make it easy for you to keep them on your iPhone without losing much quality.

  • How well does Photoshop Cs6 run on the 15" Macbook Pro with 2.6gHz?

    I'm currently 'in the market' for a new computer. My desktop is fine, but no longer can handle all the tasks I can toss at it for work (i.e. graphic design). I have been carefully biding my time, getting as much use out of it and my essentially crummy Paint Shop Photo x2, and I believe now for it to be the time to invest in a Mac and the newest edition of Photoshop (CS6). My question is this: Which one of the two Macbook Pro 15" will work best with it, and yet still survive through the next few series of upgrades? My boyfriend says the higher one, the 2.6gHz guy, will do just fine for what I need, I'm just chewing my nails off at the price. And no, I'm not interested in the retina display model. Suggesting it is just pointless.
    Basically, I'd like to know which Macbook Pro 15", the one with 2.3gHz or 2.6gHz, will suffice for the jobs I need to do, which include all areas of graphic design and artwork (hence Photoshop), along with heavy internet usage (7-9+ tabs open at any time), Word documents or the equivalent (Pages) and any extras (iTunes, Spotify). Bonus if it can gently tolerate things such as the Sims 3 and all its expansion packs.

    The nice thing about the 2.6GHz model is that it comes with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. The 2.3GHz model only has the NVIDEO GeForuce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory. And Photoshop will take advantage of that extra video RAM.
    That said, I have an older (late 2011) 15" MBP with a 512MB video card and Photoshop CS6 (and the entire Adobe Design & Web Premium suite) works just fine. If I were you, I would buy the base 2.3GHz model with 4GB of RAM and upgrade the RAM, and possible the hard drive with a SSD, as you need it. You can upgrade your RAM yourself to 16GB and you will notice an appreciable difference in Photoshop speed. And I would recommend the RAM upgrade straightaway. You can then look at putting in a 512GB SSD for around $400 and you'll have one of the fastest machines around.
    So go with the 2.3GHz and upgrade the RAM immediately. Good sources for RAM are Crucial, Corsair, etc. You'll get far more out of a RAM upgrade than you will the processor upgrade.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 15, Stop bluetooth device during file I/O on Bootcamp Windows7

    Hi.
    My Macbook pro Retina 15, Stop magic mouse & apple bluetooth keyboard during some file copy local folder or usb storege or nas on bootcamp windows7 pro 64bit.
    I called apple korea. but they don't have answers. also It base on bootcamp windows, they can't support me
    It only occure on my macbook pro retina on bootcamp. only bluetooth devices not own keyboard or touchpad.
    My iMac(2009late) does not problem.
    Yesterday I clean setup bootcamp again, It still problem.
    I just guess some bootcamp driver problem at ssd or bluethooth. Mac OS also OK.
    First time I got new ratina, no problem. nothing to chaged. just update collectly.
    Anybody help or same problem here?
    Thanks

    I should point out, this happens with/without peripherals attached.. ILOK dongle was disconnected at the time of crash. I will however check for updates..
    I have found somthing interesting tho - as it's out of warranty I downloaded a fan controller and forced the fans to full speed... The MacBook played video for hours, no problems. I believe this is a overheating issue because they fans just do to turn spin fast enough without being forced... Or it could be dust?
    I'm going to have Genius Bar clean it out if the will?.,.

  • MacBook Pro Retina USB 2.0 devices not working in right side USB port

    4 days ago I bought MacBook Pro Retina 15".
    When I plug USB 2.0 device to right side USB port, it does not work. OSX does not recognize it, iPhone does not charge, and so.
    When I plug the same USB 2.0 device to left side USB port, it works.
    When I plug USB 3.0 device to left or right side USB ports, it works without a problem.
    Does anyone have this same issue? How did you resolve it?

    I have a similar issue with a 13" Retina. Both my ports work OK for most USB devices but the right one won't work with a USB external HD (Time Machine backup). Very consistant.

  • A MacBook Pro is also a mobile device. Why won't iCloud sync ALL my mobile devices, and not just the iPhone and the iPad

    While iCloud works seamlessly between my iPad and iPhone, getting a document resynced to my MacBook Pro after working on it on either of these devices is a nightmare. Sending it to iWork takes forever, moreover, it has to go through my email. Please fix this feature soon, if there's anyone from Apple listening.

    I had the same issue until I updated my apps through iTunes. I had over 100 updates, but none of them showed on my iPod. After they updated everything started syncing like it is supposed. Go to the apps library and check for updates. After everything syncs leave your iPhone/ipod/ipad connected if the spinning arrows at the top is still spinning. It means that things are still being added. If you go to settings > general > about, you will see it loading songs, videos, photos, etc. If you back out of "about" and then go back to it you will see the numbers for each one change.
