MacBook Pro now beeps on shutdown
After I installed Leopard, my macbook pro beeps while it is logging out and shutting down. I realize this is not a huge deal, but it is kind of annoying and it has never done this before. Anybody have any ideas?
Uh oh, maybe Ellen Feiss is back :-/

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair, I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive. I am in Paris and my Snow Leopard DVD is in Texas.
Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.” As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#. Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X. -
Why I am buying a new MacBook Pro now, but, first, any major issues?
With the delay of Ivy Bridge, and with my personal view that the next generation of MacBook Pro notebooks will be dropping FireWire 800 to service a better design, I have decided to purchase a new MacBook Pro now.
I just cannot imagine the new notebooks having a FireWire or Ethernet port, as they add too much thickness.
While I keep MacBook Pros for up to 4-years, I think this new purchase will have to be a transition computer, as the next model will probably be too irresitable. Having the option of then moving my data via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt (Tarket Disk Mode) is very appealing too.
So, any issues with the current line?
Specifically, has anyone had a screen flicker issue or anything else major?
Would anyone dare say Thunderbolt is unreliable?
I really appreciate any thoughts on this - Thank you!Shootist007 wrote:
What you think Apple is infallible? They aren't. Just look at this and all the other Mac forums on the net.
I am so sorry, but you are dead wrong.
First, people get their problems resolved here quickly. A majority of the issues here are "Newbie" issues.
I have been a Mac user since 2007, and I have been on these forums since that time too. I have never once seen a horror story like the ones found on the Dell, Lenovo, and HP support forums that pop up on an hourly basis.
Read those forums, and you will get tears in your eyes.
Anytime I have called Apple or visited an Apple Store, they have treated me like a God.
Apple hardware is bullet proof made of the best materials on the planet. A MacBook Pro is far stronger and more durable than any ThinkPad, Dell Precision, or HP Elitebook.
Just open up a MacBook Pro to look at the insides as compared to the disaster zones of the aforementioned PCs.
Oh.... and no bloody stickers on MY notebook.
Everything just works.
Little things come up, but they are always solved.
Now, add programs like Joint Venture, and heaven is a place on earth.
No PC company comes close to treating their customers the way Apple has treated me since 07.
Apple has earned my business for life.
Right now, I can schedule a call with Apple - What PC company does that?
Apple = Unequaled products, service, and support. No PC company can come close to any of those three traits.
PS
And none of those PC forums have people like Kappy, Eww, Bee, Niel, iVmichael, sig, Etresoft, (yourself), and all the other fine members of this community that make it such a pleasure... -
After upgrading to Yosemite, my MacBook Pro now requires me to enter a password whenever I start up my computer. I want to eliminate this step and to go back to the ability to reboot and begin using without a login. How do I accomplish this?
Hightlight Login Option. This will bring up the window showing Automatic login.
Please post a pic of your window if Automatic login is missing. Make sure your personal info is not showing. -

I'm having problems with my internet since I have upgraded. I am afraid to upgrade on my Macbook pro now. I don't want the upgrade to slow down my laptops. Any suggestions?
Wifi issues are one of the common issues being reported by users. There is not much you can do at this point but wait and hope that th 10.8.1 update will address these issues.

upgraded to lion on my 2009 summer macbook pro, now no memory left. something is screwy ...please help an old lady out..
By memory, do you mean space on your hard disk?
If so, here is one resource:
Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk
Or do you really mean memory - i.e,, RAM?
In any case, what occurs that makes you think your "memory" is gone?

My older macbook pro now says itunes not supported "on this type of Mac". Only change has been addition of Apple TV. The Apple TV remote is also controlling the Macbook. Is this the problem? How to fix?
Did you recently update OS X? The icon indicates you have a version of iTunes that is not compatible with the version of OS X you now have installed. The current version is Apple iTunes 11.0.2, and it's compatible with 10.6.8.

Why does my MacBook pro keep beeping 3 times. The screen is frozen.
Like my MacBook Pro keeps beeping 3 times and pausing for 2 seconds. The screen is frozen. How do I fix this and what is going on?
That is a RAM issue, do you have any spare ram you can swap to confirm? Possible causes:
a ram module going bad
installation of incompatible ram
your ram may have become dislodged
I would suggest:
- removing all ram from your MBP, and reinstall it to see if that helps.
- if you recently installed new ram, remove it, then restart the computer with the old ram to see if this helps. -
I recorded some trainings on my iPad2 by using QuickVoice then synced my iPad2 application QuickVoice to my MacBook Pro now I cannot find it on my macbook. I want to save it to my documents so as to have the ability to edit the recordings. How do I find it and move it to Documents?
What happens when you plug in the external HD? It should just mount automatically when connected to your computer and turned on.
If this isn't happening, launch Disk Utility to find out whether it can see, repair, and mount your drive.
Depending on how your internal HD was malfunctioning, you may end up having to replace it. Do you remember what problems were reported when you discovered that it couldn't be repaired? Did you try to repair it from a bootable external drive? -
Hello. Although this may not be the right place to post my question, I hope to get some insight from users of the macbook pro. I am going to college next fall, hoping to major in Management Information Systems or Business Administration. My predicament is whether I should purchase a macbook pro now, allowing me to get used to it before college (as I am NOT a mac user, but have become quite interested). Or should I wait until some later release down the road...? Should I wait for a later release of the macbook pro, or allow myself time to get used to the operating system before college (what is the learning curve, and how much of a performance increase will we see before next autumn?) ??? Anybody?
None of those issues are as prevalent as the board
makes them. Don't believe you will have that
problem. Remember you always have a return policy
at a store to fall back on as well as a warranty.
This board is like a hospital ward. Assume only
people with problems show up here. Based on sales,
Apple has sold several thousand times more notebooks
than the board has people having problems. It is
a skewed view to assume the board's problems are
representative of the population of users as a
whole. Especially when consumer reports calls
Apple's support and machines the best in the
industry.
I consider that a very misleading statement.
First, the majority of users will not recognice an issue unless their computer blows up in their face. That's how many companies get away with faulty products. If it wasn't for message boards ( cudos to Apple for maintaining one ) like this one, many customers would't be made aware of the shortcomings of a product they paid good money for.
Second, Apple's support is far from satisfactory, according to my own experience, and many reports I have seen. It might or might not stand out in the US market, but that is hardly a standard, it's just were the majority of user reports come from. -
I have install iwork in my last macbook pro, now i have a new want, do i need to buy it again?
I have install iWork in my las macbook pro, now i have a new one, i want to instal it again, do i need to buy it again?
Nope! Just make sure your signed into the App Store with the same Apple ID that you used to buy iWork on your last MacBook and the buy button should just say download instead.

I connected to home share on my ipad iphone and macbook pro now it's asking me to turn on home share on the apple tv but I have no other remote, any ideas?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so. -

When I buy a macbook pro now , will it have mac os x lion on it?
when I buy a macbook pro now , will it have mac os x lion on it?
It would depend on when it was produced, eg if it has been sitting in a store for months it maybe loaded with the older operating system, whereas if it is newly produced it should come with lion on it.
