Macbook Pro 17 - 3 days and no problems at all!

I've had my 17 inch (week 21) Macbook Pro and have had NO problems at all. I was so worried after reading all the problems the 15 inch had and was also thinking about getting the Macbook (not pro). After spending 2 hours at the apple store I concluded the 17 runs cooler than the 15 and the larger screen real estate is ideal for me (I use Excel a lot for financial modeling).
I've had NO whines, moos, over-heating at all. The computer is whisper quite and works beautifully. I've installed both Bootcamp and Parallels and they work great. I've spent quite a bit of time at my local Panera making sure the wifi in Bootcamp and Parallels works, and I've had no problems.
I think Apple's got the kinks worked out and I would advise anyone sitting on the fence to get a Macbook Pro now. I got the Applecare also, so my mind is definitely at ease. I think I'm going to upgrade to 2 GB so I can allocate Windoze more memory under Parallels.

Congratulations on the new machine!
I've had a 17" MBP for two weeks now and am generally satisfied. It only has two "issues". One is the CPU whine / hiss which is present when on AC power, particularly when charging the battery. I had two 15" MBPs before that whined / hissed much louder than this, this one is much softer but still noticeable in a quiet room, if you put your head to the keyboard or if you turn your ear towards it. I think I can live with it as long as it doesn't get any worse. The sound completely goes away when running on battery.
The other issue is a slight imperfection in the case above the latch button, the metal there slightly bulges out. Again, it doesn't affect the operation of the machine and is hardly noticeable. Would be great if the fit and finish were 100% perfect, but again, I can live with this. I've logged the issue with Applecare and might take it in at some point to have the metal straightened out, but for the moment I'm afraid that the repair centre would damage something else in the process!
Otherwise, very pleased with the machine, no other problems, screen shuts flat with no warping, keys are all flat and well aligned, all functions work normally, love the big screen, love the trackpad, and love the raw POWER!

I have had my macbook pro for 3 days, and it will not charge. I tried several differnt outlets, tried cleaning and wiggling the magnet charger, still nothing. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions?

You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your MBP. Personally, I would not waste my time "troubleshooting" if the normal solutions do not work.
Return the MBP for one that works before your 14 days are up and/or call AppleCare ASAP!!!
Good luck!

Hey, can i clone my Macbook Pro internal hard drive and then paste it all onto a formated external hard drive, then make the Mac use the external as the primary hard drive?

If what doesn't work?
If cloning your internal drive to the external drive is not successful, I expect CCC will tell you so. Assuming that doesn't happen, you will have a bootable replica of the internal drive on the external drive once CCC has finished.
You can then do any of several things:
1. Replace your internal drive with a much larger one (320GB or 500GB, or even larger), and clone the external drive's contents onto the new drive so you'll have all your data in one place. Note that if you do this, you'll also need to buy an external drive that's large enough to back the new internal drive up on.
2. Boot from the external drive as a temporary measure while you clear at least 30-40GB of data off the internal drive, allowing you to keep using it and saving small amounts of data to it. The external drive will then contain the only copies of the files you've deleted from the internal drive, so you'll need a seond external drive large enough to back both the other drives up on.
If you can't comfortably clear a minimum of 30GB off the internal drive, you really need a larger internal drive right now, and you shouldn't bother fooling around with the inadequate one you have — you'll just quickly overfill it again.
3. Replace the optical drive in your MBP with a large conventional hard drive, giving you two hard drives inside the machine. You will then need one or more external drives large enough to back up both of the internal drives.
If you sense a theme here — back up, back up, back up — you are correct. It's flat-out foolhardy to own or use a computer without maintaining complete, up-to-date backups of everything at all times.

I opened my brand new MacBook Pro the other day and noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is it from and how do I get rid of it????

I am having a problem with my brand new MacBook Pro. After opening my laptop the other day I noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is this from and how do I get rid of it? It is most annoying. Please Help!

"What is this from and how do I get rid of it?"
Such symptoms bode serious hardware issues and you shouldn't think about fixing it yourself when you are still in waranty. Get to an Apple Store, like the other poster suggests.

New MacBook Pro with ticking noise and kernel problems

Hi I got my MacBook Pro exactly a week ago and I have noticed a ticking sound from under the keyboard, along with this I have been noticing lots of kernel restarts. The report normally says faulting cpu and is normally triggered by youtube whilst using google chrome.
Any help would be great.

If your computer is only a week old, quit messing with it and return it for a full refund. You have 14 days, from date of purchase, to return it for a full refund. Do so, & use the money to purchase another computer. It should work flawlessly right out of the box.

[SOLVED] linux-grsec on macbook pro 9,2 - battery and network problems

I have a macbook pro 9,2 on which I am dual booting OS X and arch. I am using xfce as my DE on the arch installation. Since installing and switching over to linux-grsec, my system seems unable to detect the presence of a battery (specifically my arch system - OS X still detects my battery just fine). The xfce battery monitor panel icon sits at 50% and does not change regardless of whether AC power is connected or not. Xfce power manager can detect whether or not the computer is receiving AC power, but does not show the existence of a battery. Running
# acpi -b
yields an empty output, as does running
# dmesg | grep -i battery
These methods all properly detected my battery prior to the installation of linux-grsec. I was unable to find any similar problems via google or the arch forums, and find myself at a loss for where to look to learn what I need to do to resolve this. I would very much like to avoid returning to the default kernel, if possible. I appreciate any assistance that you can offer, though if given a choice I would prefer the means to figure out the answer over the answer itself.

Update:
Regarding the battery: I have determined that the update I performed had nothing to do with the detection of my battery. Arch detects my battery when AC power is connected during bootup (and continues to detect it even if I remove AC power after bootup), and does not detect my battery if AC power is not connected during bootup (and continues to not detect it even if AC power is connected after bootup). I did not notice before because by coincidence I started using my macbook without the power cord attached at the same time that I installed linux-grsec. Now that the problem is more clear and specific, I am migrating it to its own post found here.
Regarding bandwidth usage: Conky and Network Manager failing to display bandwidth usage actually occured immediately after switching to linux-grsec, I just did not notice this failure at first. The problem ended up being quite simple. Unbeknownst to me, linux-grsec changed my wireless interface name from wlp2s0 to wlp2s0b1. Network Manager and Conky were therefore failing to display bandwidth usage because they were both using wlp2s0 instead of wlp2s0b1. Correcting the interface name in .conkyrc and the network applet settings fixed the problem.

Im buying a new macbook pro with 750 memory and want to dump all existing data, pic video on to hard drive. Whats the best way to do this?

How can i transfer my hard drive data from Macbook to new Macbook pro? What's the best and fastest way, cable etc...

Apple Tips: Setting-up a new Mac from an old one or its Backups Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard
How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac

My MacBook Pro Won't Start and I've tried all of the suggestions I can find to no avail. What should I try?

When I boot the computer I get the flashing question mark. I have tried:
1.) Holding 'C' to access the 'Startup Utility' but the only thing that accesses is the Wireless Internet access.
2.) Holding [cntrl. option, power button] but that didn't access anything
3.) Holding [shift] to access safe mode, but that didn't access anything
It also suggested loading the 'startup disk' that came with the laptop, but I'm digging through the box and I don't seem to have one.
I don't seem to have access to removing the battery (I, at least, don't see the battery and would have to take the thing apart to access it)
The problem started with a stuttering/ skipping of the functions a couple of days ago- of which I started this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17083016#17083016
That seemed to solve the issues until this morning when a video I was playing suddenly froze. I restarted the computer and the flashing question mark appeared.
Can anyone help with this please?

A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Holding 'C' to access the 'Startup Utility' but the only thing that accesses is the Wireless Internet access.
You hold the C key down when booting from your install disc. Hold down the Option key to prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk. If the startup disk is not available from that window then it's likely failing or has failed.
Holding [cntrl. option, power button] but that didn't access anything
Just the Option key.
It also suggested loading the 'startup disk' that came with the laptop, but I'm digging through the box and I don't seem to have one.
It's an "install" disc, not startup disc and you need those discs to repair your Mac or take it to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop, Since you don't have those discs and you can't boot in Safe Mode (Shift key) you have no way to verify the disk.
Replacement disc(s) from Apple: You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
And hopefully you removed all vestiges of MacKeeper.

MacBook Pro 2011 get hot and noise all the time and slowly ?

hi. why MacBook Pro get too hot and make a noise all the time i have Yosemite ,mac late 2011 and became very slow?

Games are very CPU/GPU intensive applications and will heat up the MBP. That will result in the fans increasing speed in order to dissipate the heat. This actually is an expected result and for the type of application, is 'normal'.
I you plan to play a lot of games, consider getting a cooling pad twhich will tend to mitigate the heating.
Ciao.

Hi vickkjayy11 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Just to be clear, we are a peer to peer support community and have nothing official to do with Apple.
So to your problem, when you say:
"I reset my macbook pro a few days ago"
What exactly happened? Did you have a Time Machine backup?
Read this:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
It would help to know the exact model (size and year) and which OS you're using.

HT1338 I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is starting slow and opening with some of the programs. How can I fix the problem?

I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is slow in starting up and loads a number of probrams. How can I fix the problem?

Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the slowness still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.
Reboot normally and test.

My macbook pro recently got swiped and I lost all my data, problem is, just before it was swiped I set up my new iphone 5 which transferred all my photos and music over which is no longer on the computer. What will happen to my phone if I plug it in?

I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???

My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

Hello Douglas,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the built-in iSight camera on your MacBook Pro. I recommend the following steps for this issue:
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Take it back to the Apple Store for repair since it's still in warranty.

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.

When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector? That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty. Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look. They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

Macbook Pro 17 - 3 days and no problems at all!
