Macbook Pro Out of Range Refresh Rate

I have a Macbook pro with a Rocketfish MiniDisplay Port to HDMI adaptor connected to an HP2311X monitor which is recognized but the Macbook states that the input signal is out of range wanting 1920x1080 at 60 Hz. The Macbook is clearly the source of the problem. I have reset both the PRAM and SMC.
The values the monitor states it is receiving is this:
H:68.2kHz V:61Hz"
What can I do to resolve this issue? Could the Rocketgfish adaptor be a source of the problem as well, or even the cable?
Thank you all in advance

MacBook Pro 6,2 Display Refresh Rate

I'm curious, can we get an official stat on this from Apple?
For external monitors you can select a refresh rate.
I'm assuming it's 60 Hz, but sometimes I'm convinced it's actually higher. There seems to be less ghosting than on any of my Windows machines, even though one of them has an IPS LCD screen.
I'm assuming Apple doesn't use 120 Hz screens on any of its products, but it also seems impossible to tell!
Note that this is useful to know for Syncing to Vblank in games and also for video playback, especially for stuff recorded in 24 fps.

Apple uses 60 and 75 Hz typically.

I have a macbook pro 2009 and I want to find out what the refresh rate is, I need it to be 70 hz

I need to find out what the refresh rate is. I went into system preferences and clicked on display, and saw refresh rate, but it said n/a. I need mine to be at least 70 hz, I can't find the answer anywhere.

Where did you search? Read the information from Kappy in - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3298134?start=0&tstart=0

How do connect to wifi so I can use my MacBook Pro out of office

How do I connect to wifi so to use my MacBook Pro out of the office

Depends on the WiFi source. Download Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com as some WiFi routers only let you login via Firefox.
Have an cat-5 or cat-6 ethernet cable handy, as some hotels provide WiFi between rooms in a hotel, but do not broadcast on a frequency that you can pickup
with your Mac, but rather give you a direct connection to their router in the room.
Some places require you download Boingo and subscribe to Boingo to get on their service.
For the rest, you should be able to get the protocol, network name, username, and password for connecting your Mac from the provider. Ones with no password will automatically appear in the Airport menu which looks like *. The ones with a password may show up there, or only work if you Connect to Other... from that menu. That menu may be gray or it may be black. If there is a lock next to the network name, you'll need a password and protocol to connect.
Macs support WPA2, WEP, TKIP connections via WiFi.
WEP aren't very secure. WPA2 are much more secure.

MacBook Pro retina: Mid-range 13" or low-range 15"?

Hi,
I'm a second-year university student looking to get the latest MacBook Pro retina (switching from a PC). I have been to the store and tried both - I am very torn between getting a mid-range 13" (I want the 256GB SSD) or a low-range 15". With the Apple care, student discounts and tax (15% here), the difference in price comes down to $700 CAD. I am not sure whether spending this extra cash is worth is as I do not do any graphic or hardcore programming work. I use my laptop mostly to type notes, read and watch movies & TV series. I should mention that I will not consider MacBook Air, it's too thin for my taste (I feel like I will easily drop it or break it haha). Here are some pros and cons I've came up with - I wish to get some insight from all of you who have had experience with MacBook Pros:
13":
Pros:
1. About 1kg lighter in weight, the charger is also lighter than the one used for 15", so it will add up to be more than 1kg lighter --> more portable
2. Longer battery life (though I'll most likely be carrying around the charger anyway, I will almost always have somewhere to plug at school)
3. Cheaper ($700 CAD less than the 15")
Cons:
1. Smaller screen (I've never used a laptop under 15.4", I have no idea whether 13" is enough as a comfortable size to work with for long hours), maybe eyes will get tired more easily
2. Since there is less screen space, when working on programs such as Microsoft Office with multiple documents, have to spend little extra time adjusting size of the window or display (zoom in and such)
15":
Pros:
1. Bigger screen, which makes the "retina" part much more obvious and apparent --> nicer to watch videos and movies.
2. 16GB RAM, can "keep its value longer(?)" - I lack of a better way to say this... it seems like these things get upgraded quickly, 8GB may be good today, and next year the standard becomes 16GB. And since RAM is something important for most people, getting a 16GB feels like my laptop can withstand its value longer
Cons:
1. HEAVIER - this is what I'm more concerned about (please share your experiences with 15" rMBP's weight ). I'm afraid that although it doesn't feel much lighter when I hold it, and it's probably not that heavy with just the rMBP in the backpack - the extra weight might show during exam times when I have to carry more books around.
2. Price - Is the $700CAD worth it? Because the difference that I can really experience will probably be 1)the screen and 2) the RAM, since I only do ordinary business with my laptop. I know what the extra money is worth it for those professional users out there given the higher specs of the processor and graphics card, but I probably won't feel anything, right?
- but then, if the extra screen real estate can make me work more efficiently (share your experiences please, I would really like to hear them), and that it's not heavy, I do have the budget to pay the extra $700.
As you may be able to tell, I've done quite a lot of research, but I am still torn and don't know how to decide. I guess the biggest question is portability vs. extra screen space & retina experience. I would really appreciate if you could share your opinions and experiences! If you can convince me of which model to choose, I will be very grateful. I've been losing productivity for days just to think about this decision dilemma...
Thanks in advance!
Ellen

It is really a personnel choice. I myself would opt for the 15 inch because I consider the 13 inch has too small a screen and the 16 GB of memory is a plus.

How to get my macbook pro out of VGA mode

I plugged my new Macbook Pro into a VGA adapter to do a slideshow on a projector screen, and after i was finnished, my mac is still in VGA mode on the lcd screen - is a awkward view mode. Does anyone know how to revert back to a normal viewing mode? Even after restarting the macbook, it remains in the mode for being connected to a vga cord. thank you.

Safe Mode uses a simple display mode and bypasses the stored settings. It can be used to get out of situations where you set the resolution or configuration wrong.
Hold down Shift as you start up.
It will run a pass of "Repair Disk", which takes several minutes.
Then it will come up with minimal extensions loaded and default display settings.
Provide your User_id and password and log in.
Change the displays prefs to something boring.
Be certain to close the pref pane and Save changes.
Restart.

New MacBook Pro Out of Application Memory

I just spent over $2,500 on a top-of-the-line 13" MacBook Pro, including 16 GB of memory, thinking it would solve my memory problems. So I wasn't thrilled when I got an "Out of Application Memory" error message today. I started shutting down programs, but the error message wouldn't go away. So I rebooted my computer and opened just a couple programs. It quickly froze, with the same error.
Can anyone give me some clues for fixing this problem? I installed a lot of software yesterday, mostly programs from Adobe's Creative Suite. However, when I look at Activity Monitor, the biggest memory hogs by far are Finder and kernel_task. What's kernel_task, and why is Finder such a memory hog? I was having problems with it earlier.
I've been perusing this thread...

Sorry, I got cut off. I came back to post the solution.
I was able to see someone at the Genius Bar, though I didn't have an appointment. He examined my laptop and focused on something I actually noticed some time ago - when you open Finder, the folder "All My Files" is open by default. I discovered a few days ago, that that folder bogs things down for some reason, so I got in the habit of switching to a different folder.
Anyway, he said there's a file somewhere on my computer that's causing problems; it eats up memory. So he deleted All My Files from the Finder choices so I'll no longer access that file...unless I happen to stumble over the folder it's in.
As I find time, I'll try and track the offending file down.

What do I do with dead macbook pro out of waranty?

I don't w where to take my anger. And I don't know what to do with my frustrations. It's difficult to find an email adress to someone in Apple who can help, so now I will try and post my story here to see if anyone have any suggestions.
In october 2007 I bought a MacBook Pro 15". It ran perfectly, until it died a few years later, of course after waranty ran out. I was in the middle of exams, I lost a lot of my notes in the computercrash so I didn't have time to take it anywhere or do anything. My boyfriend took it to the local dealer and was informed that it was a dead motherboard - I already suspected it but tried everything recomended for a black screen. The computer turns on, somtimes chime, the light goes on, fan starts running, the cd spins, but totally black screen. The dealer said it was out of warenty, and I had to pay myself, so I borrowed a computer and bought a new mac as soon as I could - this time with apple care 3 years!
Now we are in a situation where we really need a second mac so I remembered I had the dead computer lying in a drawer. I took it out and looked online, and was happy to see that this is a known problem caused by the Nvida Grafics card. So I called apple, and they told me that I was right. This problem is known and has been covered for 4 years since purchase. Apparantly an email should have been sent to everyone with a registered model, but I never recived an email - I am very sure I would have noticed since I lost an expenssive computer as a student! That covereaged, agreed by Apple and Nvida ran out for me 3 months ago. On phone support they told me I could try and contact Nvida for this problem! But I bought an Apple computer?
Basically I have a dead computer who died from a problem Apple and Nvida aknowlged. I checked online when it died, I asked the local dealer and at that time there was notinh to do. So is it my fault I haven't looked it up since? I DID register it and what is the point if Apple don't email custumors that things have changed and there are new options?
The Apple support in Denmark told me I had 3 options. Take it to court, try and ask Nvida (even though Apple bought the components apparantly custumors are responsible for chasing coverage of them) or I could pay for a new motherboard myself. Is that really all I can do? Is there somewhere in Apple I can take this or is court really the only way to communicate??
Hope some can help.

I have a simple answer for you, but you are not going to like it.
Do Not Buy another Apple computer or any other Apple products.
You are IMHO completely correct in that Apple should either repair all of these computer that they put the NVidia card in no matter when it fails. In fact IMHO all of these computer should of been recalled when Apple found out about the bad graphics card. Auto manufacturers can't get away with this type of thing, mainly because when a defect is discovered most people stop buying their products and they are forced to have a recall to fix what is wrong on cars already sold.
There is nothing wrong with a PC and with most PC notebooks from any manufacturer you can get parts for them on either the used market or leftovers from when a particular model was discontinued. You can not buy major parts for Apple computers except from Apple and they do not sell them to the general public.
Good Luck.

Late 2007 Macbook Pro 802.11n slow transmit rate

I have a Netgear Rangemax N router. But when I connect to the network and option+click on the wifi, my PHY Mode says "802.11n" but my transmit rate is only 54. When my Macbook air connects to the same router, the PHY Mode is still 802.11n, but my transmit is 170. What is happening that my Macbook Pro is connecting slower than the Macbook Air when on the same network?

When I read "crash," "distorted line across my screen," "it gets really hot," and "2007 17" MacBook Pro," the first thing that comes to mind is logic/graphics board. Visit your local Apple Store, and see if they can validate this suspicion or not. The SMART utility reading usually precedes a drive failure, but it's hard to conclude what's happening here.
In the meantime, make sure you're completely backed up. If you don't back up, purchase an external HD, and back up with SuperDuper. Preserve your machine by running things at lower temperatures (under 160•F), and keep an eye on iStat.
Oh, and tell us the problem when you know.

Macbook pro out of space

My macbook pro has 4 GB (2 slots with 2 GB each) It says I am out of space. The storage says most of it is taken with photos and home videos. I don’t want to delete them and if I get an external drive it doesn’t save them in order or albums. Any suggestions?

I'm going to ask the mods to move this to the macbook forum. I don't have a macbook, however I think you're getting RAM and harddrive memory confused.
RAM has slots that you put cards in and every device out there has a maximum amount that it can take.
Hard drive memory would be separate and it's the space you can use to store your data on.
You should have an icon on your desktop labeled 'macintosh HD' and if you right click and choose 'get info' it can show you how much room you have on the drive and how much you have available.

MacBook Pro out of RAM when nothing is running?

Okay so I have a brand new 13 inch non-retina MacBook Pro with a 2.9 GHz i7 and 4GB of RAM. I understand when I am running a game or FCPX why I would get close to or run out of RAM, but as I'm typing this, the only thing I have open is Google Chrome and Activity Monitor. I am using 3.99 out of 4.00 GB. I am planning on upgrading to 8GB soon, but is this normal? I have restarted and that doesn't help me. Here is a picture of Activity Monitor:

It most certainly is normal with Mavericks. Please read this:

I'm really so frustrated with videos lagging, I'm about to throw my Macbook Pro out the window. It's really becoming that bad. I've reinstalled Flash, I've tried emptying the trash in safe mode, everything. And my connection on the internet video blows.

It's worse than dialup, videos constantly freeze up and lagg for minutes. It takes me nearly a half hour to see a 4-minute video. I've heard that it can also be a quicktime addon that I can see, but cannot delete. Sorry, but I'm so ******* frustrated. I don't have a lot of money and when I bought this, I just wanted it to run right. It's been a tough year on me and this hasn't helped.

Trackpad MacBook Pro Out of Control

For the second time in a year, my trackpad on my MacBook Pro has gone bonkers. It moves by itself, opens applications, refuses to respond to touch, makes the whole computer unusable. The last time it happened (October, 2013) they replaced the trackpad. This time, I was advised, by Apple Support on the phone, to try two different restarts, which managed to crash the entire computer. Took it in for service, where they erased the drive. Fortunately, I had back-up and was able to restore the computer to its still-with-problems trackpad. Though I kept hearing, "Wow, this never happens," I now find that there are literally dozens and dozens of people reporting the problem all over the place. Anybody have a clue how to get this fixed, once and for all? Right now, I have to head back to the Apple Store--again--to try to get the original problem. Only one hint for people with similar problem: a Mouse DOES work, as long as you don't it the trackpad, even accidentally.

Does your MacBook Pro have a removable battery? This behavior is often seen if the battery has swollen and is pressing up against the cable for the trackpad.
Even if your MBP doesn't have a removable battery, it would be worth bringing it in and asking them to remove the battery and test the trackpad without the battery present to see if it's still incredibly erratic.
