MacBook Pro not working.

Hello there.
I have a MacBook Pro that I accidently spilled my glass of milk over. Right after I spilled it, i cleaned it up, but I believe some of the milk went down the space between the keys. As normal all hardware etc works as before, but some of my keys like shift and right arrow does not work anymore.
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

Liiquid contamination is often fatal for computers.  You can take it to Apple for a free diagnosis and estimate of repairs.  Often the repairs would be expensive and people consider a replacement instead of a repairs.  You can probably salvage the disk to recover the data on it.

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

  • Macbook pro not working without battery

    my macbook pro not working if i remove the battery
    & if the battery is empty my macbook pro not working before charging

    Try an SMC reset:

    You should not run on AC with the battery removed. The MBP should work that way, but the OS throttles back the CPU so running like that is not recommended.

  • Bluetooth from iPhone 3GS to MacBook Pro not working?

    I am having (seemingly) bluetooth connection issues with "some" devices to my MacBook Pro.  I note:
    * Mouse pairs fine
    * iPhone 3GS does not remain connected (focus of this forum question)
    Error - after pairing my iPhone 3GS to my MBP I get an error:
    The Bluetooth Network is Unavailable
    There was an error connecting your device.  Make sure the device is turned on and in range.
    Notes:
    * MacBook Pro details:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro6,2
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.7.3 (11D50b)
    Background: Ultimately interested in teethering my iPhone 3G data connection to my MacBook Pro, but for the moment the bluetooth connection won't even remain in place.

    nothing in these articles helped unfortunately - some more clarification:
    tethering via USB from iPhone 3G to MacBook Pro => WORKS
    tethering via Bluetooth => does NOT work, with bluetooth connectioning not staying up
    During pairing process:
    devices "see each other"
    pairing appears to work, then you see that the connection drops out directly afterwards (almost immediately)
    on iPhone message = "Connection Unsuccessful - XXX's MacBook Pro is not supported"
    on MacBook - it's just the connection in Bluetooth options shows up as not connected
    in /var/log/system I see some bluetooth related lines:
    Apr 18 19:33:14 Gregs-MacBook-Pro bnepd[18950]: [IOBluetoothDevice instantiateChannel] BluetoothHCIAuthenticationRequested failed (0x0006), so retry

    Apr 18 19:33:53 Gregs-MacBook-Pro blued[22]: Removing Bluetooth configured device: 00-26-08-23-23-9d
    Any other ideas?  Is it a physical problem with my MBP?  but then again my bluetooth mouse stays connected ok.  And in terms of the iPhone well it tethers fine to the iPad via bluetooth....

  • One speaker on MacBook Pro not working for certain programs?

    When I either receive or place a FaceTime call on my MacBook Pro, the left speaker cuts out audio and produces high static.  The right speaker is fine.  The receiving end can also hear the static feedback, but their two speakers work fine.  I have all my iOS devices setup to receive and place FaceTime calls (iPhone 5s, iPad, and MacBook Pro 15 inch late 2011).  If I place or receive the FaceTime calls on my iPhone or iPad, there is no problem. 
    I've tested the speakers, youtube, iTunes audio, streaming websites, netflix, etc... and all works fine on the MacBook Pro.  Just FaceTime.  I also went into system preferences and the speaker setup is correct (audio in and out - internal speakers).
    I've also restarted, reinstalled Yosemite...still FaceTime left speaker problem.
    I appreciate any troubleshooting advice and/or if others have experienced this problem.
    Thanks!

    The Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac OS X:FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime - Apple Support does not offer much in the way of help for the problem you are having.
    Have you tried going to System Preferences, Sound, Output and playing around with the Balance to see if that makes any difference?
    You might also consider going to FaceTime, Preferences and turn FaceTime OFF and then back ON.
    And to have the system checked, you could take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs see if there is something hardware-wise interfering with FaceTime.

  • Need help one USB Port on MacBook Pro not working

    Its been a weak now and im getting tired of my MacBook pro USB not reading anything.. It wont read/connect usb drives, IPods/IPhones/IPads, and Android phones. I have tried the PRAM and SMC resets and nothing has worked i even left my Macbook pro off for a whole day. ITS ONLY ONE PORT NOT WORKING, i took it to bestbuy because its closest to me but geek squad just did what i explained above and told me get a USB hub and NO! i want to fix this issue... Anyone has had this happen can you let me know if its because the USB port is no longer working or a software issue... Also i keep getting this notification telling me USB devices disabled draining to much power but i have nothing connected!!
    ps- my MacBook Pro is getting very hot fast and it happens when im not even using it, i get home and it very hot could there be another hardware failure i dont leave applications open when i sleep it.

    It sounds like you might have a hardware problem. Your best bet is to go to the Genius Bar. The evaluation is free, and they'll fix it if you're under Applecare. Back up your stuff first though.

  • New iMac as second display for MacBook Pro not working

    I just bought the new thin 2012 27" iMac as a replacement to the last model I had.
    I want to use the iMac as a second display for my 2012 MacBook Pro.
    I have a Mini Display Port to Mini Display Port cable that used to work with my previous setup and at work with my external display.
    However, this isn't working on the new iMac. When I try the Command + F2 suggestion I've seen in the forums here. Nothing happens.
    Do I need a new cable now that these are "thunderbolt" connections?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Demetre

    You will most likely need a Thunderbolt cable as they are both Thunderbolt devices and not Mini DisplayPort.

  • Macbook Pro not working right after getting it back from Apple Store

    I had to bring my last generation Macbook Pro into the Apple store to have a faulty optic drive and logic board replaced. I just got home and the date in the preferences was set to 2001 and it will not connect to my network, even though I am typing this on another Mac using the same connection. It does see it, it just shows a message with an exclamation mark in the Airport area saying no internet connection.
    Any ideas of what I may need to do? Are both of these a sign that they may have messed something up? I did reboot it after getting it back.
    Thanks.

    Just bring it back. Have them check it out and demonstrate that it's working properly.

  • Right click on XP under BootCamp with new MacBook Pro not working?

    Is anyone else seeing this on the new MacBook Pro? (I have the 2.53 model):
    I installed WinXP via BootCamp (BC). All went well. I installed the drivers from the Leopard install disk, which seemed to have the latest everything (BC 2.1.1?).
    There is a "secondary click" function under the BC control panel in Windows for the trackpad, but it doesn't work at all.
    Ctrl-Click also does not work. All other clicking is fine, but it's only left clicks that are allowed.
    This reminds me of my original MacBook Pro and Boot Camp beta...

    Three fingers and physical click. It's the same in Vista (except Vista's LAN driver works).
    Eagerly awaiting the next version of Boot Camp! It's clear it was rushed, from both this and if you insert the CD and autorun (in Vista at least) it pops up with a couple of utilities for a Macbook Air.

  • Macbook Pro not working with replacement logic board

    Hello everyone! About two months ago, someone spilled tea over my macbook pro. Upon taking it to the Apple store the representative told me that it would cost me over $1,000 to repair it and that I would be better off getting a new one (I know most of you have heard that many times). I inspected the Macbook and I realized that when I tried turning it on the keyboard would not light up and, but the sleep light was on. Furthermore, I heard the hard drive and the fans spinning. The tea only spilled on the right side of the Macbook so I figured that would help me narrow down the issue. The apple representative told me that I needed to replace the logic board so I went and bought a replacement one that was the same model. Before I screwed all the pieces back in, I wanted to try it out and see if it would turn on. Unfortunately I still have the same problem. It seems that the logic board is not the problem, but I am not sure what it might be. I'm pretty sure the CD/DVD drive is damaged, but I don't see why that would prevent the Macbook from turning on. I did a little research and I notice that most people test the graphics card to see if it is working, but I don't know how to do that. I have an older Macbook Pro, the motherboard is model 820-1993-A and I believe the model of the Macbook is A1150. Please help, this macbook was a gift and I don't want to throw it out!

    Well I would like to find out what the piece is that is causing me the problem so that I could replace it! I already replaced the most expensive piece and the hard drive seems to be working fine so it doesn't leave many things. I just would like to know how I would be able to check to see if the video card is damaged.

  • Left USB on MacBook Pro not working.

    I've got a brand new MacBook pro unibody (not the one from WWDC though, I have the one with the removable battery (late 2008 I guess) and the left USB port which is closest to the firewire port doesn't work. The computer is only 3 weeks old and I can't remember if it ever worked, it may have worked with a USB mouse the first time I turned it on but I'm not sure. Since then I've tried it with my iPhone, iPod, external hard drive, 3 different digital cameras and the wired mouse again. It's not even a recognition issue because my iPhone/iPod doesn't even charge when connected! So I guess it's severely underpowered. The only sign of power I've gotten from it is when I plug in the mouse and the mouse's red light flashes twice then disappears.
    I've tried resetting the SMC per Apple's directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    I tried both methods and still nothing. I've also run the hardware test but it found nothing (although I didn't run the long version).
    Any suggestions would be most welcome! I'm thinking of taking back to the store tomorrow though (not an Apple Store, we don't have one here )

    It sounds defective and you need to take it back to an Authorized Apple dealer or repair centre for them to fix it under Warranty.

  • Sound through HDMI on MacBook Pro not working

    I've a MacBook Pro [Retina Display] (Mid 2012) with HDMI Output. I've tried to connect my Samsung PDP to it, and the Display is detected successfully. No problems in using the display in Mirror or Extended view. However there is no sound output on the Display. I've also tried to connect my Mac to Sony AV Receiver -- To my Samsung Display,the display is detected, but still no sound on AV Receiver.
    I've than checked the sound preferences and it says that "The Selected device has no output controls". I've also tried to match the sound output Hz to input and tried all combinations, doesn't work at all. The Volume icon is greyed out as soon as I select the Output to Samsung. I'm now running out of thoughts.
    My goal is to be able to Play sound on either the Sony AV receiver or Samsung PDP, either way will work for me.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Some time ago I had this problem too. I had another Macbook with a broken main board, so I decided to wrack the connector. This showed clearly how the switch inside the connector works. It is a "normal on" switch, and it switches to off if a plug is plugged in. Then the software senses the connection to determine if this is a audio plug (metal) or a a optical connector (plastic). What happens, is that some dirt sticks on the switch, so the computer "thinks" it has a connector plugged in. Since it senses no connection, it switches to optical. The solution is clearly to clean the switch. That can be done, sometimes it might work from the outside, with the toothpick, compressed air, or whatever, but that didn't work for me. Best is to open up your mac, removing the keyboard, etc. Follow the instruction here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/MacBook-Core-Duo-PRAM-Battery/297/1, but not all the way! Don't remove the main board, or the cpu-cooler. Go so far that you can reach the metal strip on top of the connectors. This strip should be bend so that the connector is reachable. See first photo.The audio connector is inside a metal box. That box is for radio wave interference and for strength. So you can just wrack it open with pincers and a screw driver. Just watch out you don't drop any metal parts on the main board! When the box is removed, remove the plastic top. Now it is quite simple to clean the switch. See photo 2, the arrow is pointing to the switch. Don't be confused by the photo, you shouldn't remove the connector from the main board! On the left you see the wracked metal box. I used compressed air to clean the switch. When done (just connect the keyboard and start your mac to test), put back the plastic top, put some tape on it to keep it together and if you don't use brute force injecting a connector, you will be fine...
    Hope this helps!

  • Is there any updates since February 2014 re: macbook pro not working with Smartboard?

    My computer recognizes that it is attached but will not display what is on the desktop. I am currently running Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro and trying to project in onto a Smart Board 600 series.  The MacBook Pro used to work with Smart Board; now, all of a sudden it does not work.  And, sometimes it will project, but many times it simply will not.  I am using a brand new adapter, and projection works with my Epson Powerlite 78 at home. 
    Smart Board refers me to Apple Support believing the conflict to be hardware.  Incidentally, I downloaded Smartboard software to my MacBook Pro previously, but uninstalled it because it was causing crashes to my computer. But, users do not have to download SmartBoard software for projection.
    Are there any possible solutions to my inquiry?  Thank you for any considerations.

    Hi, well basically our family got BT infinity about 2 weeks ago, and it worked with my macbook for about 3 days or so, but after that just suddenly stopped working. It says it's connected in airport and gives full connection, but chrome, spotify, skype, etc do not work. However the rest of the computers in the house which run on windows do work. For the last week or so I have been using a neighbour's open wireless (Netgear) which has been pretty consistent if a little slow. So basically, is there anything i can do? i've pretty extensively looked at all the forums regarding MBPs and routers, and it seems it may be a mac fault (meaning i may be in the wrong forum.) but any help would be appreciated. thanks.
    Hi there,
    It sounds to me like you're having troubles with the wireless channels on the Home Hub.
    Here's what I'd suggest you do: Download istumbler on your Mac (or inssider 2 on your PC) and use this to check which wireless channel you're currently on and if need be, change to a less congested channel.
    I hope this info helps.
