    Because it is a Microsoft product. it must be purchased separately.

  • I have pluged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?

    I have plugged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?
    if the device I connected have caused this, shouldn't the macbook itself have some type of protection that should prevent this from happening.
    because when I took it to an apple certified maintenance shop, the guy said that now it could only run while connected to the power. it won't run on batteries. and that I have to change the motherboard.
    can I just replace the damaged part only, would apple consider this as a design issue and they could pay for it, or should I just buy a new motherboard for 800$.
    Help.

    BB1B2,
    The problem is in finding a tech shop that will/can do board level repairs on Macs. They are few. And I certainly wouldn't spend $800 on a new logic board - I would replace the computer if I had to pay that much!
    You could call around to a few repair shops and see if they feel competent to isolate the problem and do a board level repair - but I'm afraid, in the end, that your search will be futile.
    Sorry,
    Clinton

  • MACBOOK JUST SHUT RIGHT OFF, NOT TURNING ON

    Hey guys,
    My girlfriend has a Macbook that she bought last March. last night it abruptly shut right off and will not turn back on. The battery charges and is now full but will not turn on. I know this is a major hardware problem but I was wondering if anyone has ever had this, knows what happened, and got it fixed. Thanks. Any help would be great, she's got all her work on it.

    Check the hard drive, make sure it's correctly installed. I heard that some of the hard drives vibrate and come out of it's socket and the computer no longer starts.
    To check it, flip the computer over, take out the battery and remove the three screws (don’t worry this is a user serviceable part so your warrenty is safe). And then pull the hard drive out, it sits next too the battery, and then put it back in.

  • I plugged in iPhone 5 charger to my MacBook Pro and it immediately shut down and I can't get it restarted. Any ideas how to do this without removing the battery?

    If you have your MBP charger, try a SMC reset:

  • MacBook Pro crashed while deleting old backups off partitioned external hard drive. Now only recognizes windows formatted half of drive. Can the Apple side be saved?

    MacBook Pro 15-inch, Mid 2010
    Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
    I have an external hard drive:
    2 TB Seagate Backup+Desk Media
    Partitioned:
    1TB - Windows NTFS
    1TB - Mac (sorry I can't remember the formatting, whatever Mavricks asked me to use...)
    What happened:
    I was erasing 3 old backups from the Apple partition and my laptop crashed part way through emptying the trash. (it has done this many times before, where parts of the screen are frozen in square blocks displaced all over the screen. Screenshot not possible unless I use a separate camera).
    When I force restarted my computer (holding down the power button) neither side of the drive was accessible. After running the Disk Utility and Verifying and Repairing the Disk Permissions and the Disk Itself (for the Windows side) I was able to access the Windows partition. However, upon attempting to do so with the Mac partition it tells me that it cannot be repaired. I have found many forums discussing SIMILAR situations but none with the same and here is why:
    Up until this happening I could access ONLY the Windows partition when the drive was connected to either my Apple laptop in Bootcamp Windows 7 or my HP laptop in Vista, while my MacBook could access both sides of the drive. HOWEVER, after this crash, BOTH my Windows 7 and Vista can access both sides of the drive (so My files are still all there and accessible) but my MacBook Pro swears that the Apple partition is doomed.
    Since the Apple side of my laptop is my primary workhorse I really want to figure out how to fix my drive.
    So Questions:
    1. Anything else I can provide to the experts out there to help me get this fixed?
    2. Can I custom fix this via accessing the drive on either of the Windows systems?
    3. Why would it suddenly show up in Windows when it became unaccessible to Mac?
    Thanks All!

    UPDATE:
    It has been maybe a month since this happened.
    After I made this post and was checking emails, walking away from computer, and then came back my Mac partition of the External Drive has shown up on the Desktop...
    So, in the ever immortal way of asking the tech to come check the issue and the issue resolving itself, perhaps I should posted on the forum sooner...
    NOTE: The disk still shows up as unusable in the Disk Utility and it appears that the files are read only (cannot make a new folder on this side of the external drive)
    I still consider this a volatile issue because I do not want to lose the files on this half of the partition and I have not gotten a replacement drive yet (too much data to move to my computer and then format the current drive)

    Those chat images only work with iOS based devices.  If they're being sent to someone without an iOS device, it will go through as an ASCII character.

  • I have bought a Macbook Pro Retina, and the iPhoto which comes with it, has a different iPhoto Book menu.  I cannot see how to put text at the bottom of the pages of photographs, instead of the default place in the middle.  Is there a way to do this?

    There are different templates for iPhoto books and they differ from version of iPhoto to iPhoto, so explore the other options.

  • 2 small bulges on my macbook pro just above the speaker on the top right

    "from right to left I'm looking at usb, hdmi, and sd card reader?"
    Yes.
    "Looks like there's nothing in the area to heat up."
    Yup, so they're probably right, it was a mechanical pressure. I could see how that would happen if you had a USB plugged in and a cinder block fell on it.
    "Apple is going to ridiculous lengths to promote thinner, lighter products over build quality."
    Yes, the first time I saw these new MBPs I thought it was an Air!
    Maybe if Steve was still around they would be making the tops out of a more rigid aluminum.
    I had a friend out of college, a mechanical engineer. He was working for a major American auto manufacturer. He said his whole job was to design the stampings for the throttle linkage to use the minimum and to waste the minimum amount of material. Later he called me and said that they were going crazy with a recall and a redesign. The linkages got so thin that they were fracturing in normal driving and the cars would go immediately to full throttle.
    Yah that would be bad.
    So you could probably gently push that dimple back, being careful not to mar the surface. Then pray that one of those elements that comprise the top case fails!!

  • Does the new MacBook Pro come with a disk drive

    Hi
    Does the 13" retina display MacBook pros come fitted with a disc drive ??
    Thanks

    No, it does not. However, when you are customizing the MacBook Pro with Retina display on the Apple Online Store, it gives you the option to purchase an external disc drive, AKA the Apple Super Drive. If you are purchasing from an Apple Retail Store, they sell these there, too, so just ask.
    I hope I answered your question.

  • Does the macbook pro come with software similar to excel and word ?

    i am not familiar with the mac computers and i was wondering if the macbook pro comes with software such as word and excel similar to a microsoft office?

    No, it does not.
    You need Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Does the macbook pro come with mac os x v10.7 lion

    does the macbook pro come with max os x v10.7 lion?

    It depends when it was manufactured - if you should choose to buy a refurbished unit from Apple , it may still have Snow Leopard (but you would of course qualify for a free upgrade to Lion) or, it would also be possible to buy a new one from a reseller with Snow Leopard if he had the MBP for a while, so it would be adviseable to ask.
