Macbook Pro/Lion vibrating exactly like iPhone
I downloaded and installed Lion this morning when it came up for sale, went smooth and very fast. After using the OS for a bit, I am very pleased with it.
My only question for anyone who can answer is...
Was there some sort of vibrating feature added to Lion? By vibrating, I mean the same as the vibrating on an iPhone. I've been googling, but haven't read anything about such a feature.
Reason I'm asking, is because I've loaded a few different apps and I hear a vibration on my desk. I have sound off on my phone, so I figured it was a notification on my phone but when I reach for it nothing is there. I then realize that the vibrating is coming from my Mac. It's just like a 1-2 second notification vibration.
I'm not sure if this is part of Lion or if it's a bug. But in my opinion, it'd be an odd bug since it's identical to the iPhone vibrating.
Well it did this when I signed onto different accounts on iChat. Each account I sign onto, it'll vibrate if that buddylist has someone online. If nobody is online on that particular buddylist, it does not vibrate.
As for backing up, I already did that this morning before downloading Lion so I'm good there. Hopefully it's not an HD issue as this Macbook is new.

I just tried to sync calendar on my iPhone 3 (ver. 4.2.1) with my MacBook Pro (Lion ver. 10.7.4). It doesn't sync. Is there any way to do it?
Have you updated your itunes to the latest version? You have to have itunes to sync the phone to any computer.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.
Regards,
Nicolas.
(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS. -

Hello Sunil Gubbi,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you'd like to know on how to access your files on iCloud Drive. Please take a look at the information below on how to access the files.
You can access your files in iCloud Drive any of these ways:
Using any supported web browser, you can go to iCloud Drive or iWork for iCloud beta at iCloud.com. In iWork for iCloud beta, you can find your Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files.
On your Mac with OS X Yosemite, you can go to iCloud Drive in Finder.
On your PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud for Windows 4.0, you can go to iCloud Drive in File Explorer.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8, you can access your files from Apple apps like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, or any apps that support iCloud Drive.

Why are some songs distorted on my Macbook Pro but not on my iPhone 4?
I purchased the new Patrick O'Hearn album through my iPhone 4 (latest iOS) with the ITUNES app. When I got home and synced the phone with my 2008 Macbook Pro (Lion with latest patches) and began playing the album through my desktop speakers, some passages of the music seemed distorted or over-driven. At first I suspected a poor digital encoding of the music, or problems with the cable or speakers. I plugged the cable directly into the headphone jack of the iPhone and the music played perfectly, and without distortion.
So, the problem is the MBP, or iTunes. Can anyone offer suggestions to remedy this?I had Sound Enhancer checked. When I removed that option the distortion was still there but was reduced.
I played several similar songs (same artist, same levels, similar composition) that I have had for a long time and found no distortion at all. The old songs had been ripped from the CD to MP3 format or purchased as MP3 from Amazon.
So it doesn't appear to be hardware related (MBP, cables, Speakers), but instead may be encoding (AAC) or DAC related to differences between MP3 and AAC.
Still looking for a solution. -
I recently purchased a Macbook Pro and when connecting my iPhone 5 to the Macbook's Messages app, I clicked cancel after seeing the 6 digit code. I thought I could easily get that code back to my phone, but can't figure it out at all. Any help?

How do I use my MacBook Pro to watch exactly what my digital cable box would send to my TV?
How do I use my MacBook Pro to watch exactly what my digital cable box would send to my TV?
You could use Elgato Systems' EyeTV product to view external video sources on your MBP.
There is additional cost involved, but it would achive what you want. You can buy the Hybrid product, and connect your external DVD player via Composite (red, white and yellow connectors) to your MBP via the EyeTV.

My wife and I each have an apple ID and share one macbook pro. Is it possible to use the iCloud on our shared macbook pro and our two separate iPhone 5's and not get each others information confused?
Once you setup your wife's account you can enable fast user switching to make it easy to switch accounts:

iTunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday. In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync to the other devices but now there is a listing a movies with no cover photos and in fact if I try to view the movie on the MacBook Pro it cannot be found unless I download it.
All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Can I install iDVD (only) from an iLife 11 CD on a new (late 2011) on-line MacBook Pro/Lion purchase that no longer included it?
Purchasing iLife 11 on disk is an easy thing to do. ILife 11 will include iDVD.
If you have iDVD on another Macintosh you can transfer it to your new computer. That procedure has been discussed here many times, if you do a search you will find that procedure. -
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I would like to transfer Aperture from my Mac Mini to my new MP. How can I do this?
Thanks, Sig. I think I should've been a little clearer. I've attempted to do the updates on my Mac, but I get a warning that it will erase everything except calenders, email, etc from the iPad. I've syned the iPad with the Mac with no problem, but get scary messages when I try to do the latest update.

The screen resolution in 1920x1200 dropped on my MacBook Pro 17". Seems like I have not the same pixels. There are also vertical, thin lines on the screen. Makes the screen look milky. Anybody knows what's going on and how to fix it?
Take it to an Apple Store or other service provider for testing.

Hello everyone,
I have checked and tried some advices here on "discussions", about playing video on youtube for example on a MacBook Pro lion. I have the latest Flash player but it still doesn't work. Please help. Thanks in advance..Hi,
if you are using a SAFARI you don't need to install a flash player, it comes insatlled already, you can check that on safari toolbar.
Help>Installed Plug-ins> and then check for shockwave flash player etc.
i have a early 2011 macbookpro and have never needed to install any flash payer unlike on windows.
that's if your are using safari.
Thanks
Freddy
