MacBook Pro Problem with screws I think

So I recently saw my MacBook Pro casing lifting up and when I lifted up to look inside I saw the screw is attached to nothing. So I went on google and looked up the shell and there should be a slot where the screw on the left hand side screws into. I'm taking my Mac into a Apple Authorized Reseller to put a 500GB HDD and might ask them to fix it. Will they charge me as they charged me bloody 800 Bucks to replace a monitor and getting the hard drive done will cost around €260. So do you think they will fix it for free? Here are some pictures. Also I have Apple Care

GeekOfComedy:
Hope Apple gets it sorted out for you. Having computer problems (sort of like having car problems on a long road trip) is not much fun and very frustrating.
Thanks for leaving feedback in Apple Discussions by marking the "solved" post.

Macbook Pro Problems with D-Link Router

My router D-link (Dl-624+A, model available in Asia) 802.11g/2.4 Ghz wireless router serves a G5 iMac, a G4 Aluminum Powerbook plus a Windows laptop and desktop. We have never experienced any problems with the network.
I have recently bought a 17" Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz laptop (intel MBP) and have not been able, in any combination of modes, to join the network. A dialogue box simply says that there was an error trying to join the network.
I have no problems joining other wireless networks around town its so easy, just the one at home is the problem.
What is going on? Is there a fix? Thanks

Hi, my MacBook Pro can't connect to my D-Link DSL-G604T router via wireless too.
Airport can see my wireless connection and asks for the WEP password to connect. I put the password key in and an error pops up saying it cannot connect. I can connect via an Ethernet cable. Also, my previous system PowerBook G4 is able to connect via to the router via wireless, hence there is nothing wrong with my network.
Based on the suggestions from other threads, I tried to set my security to WPA instead of WEP. However, after I set my security to WPA, and tried to connect to my wireless network, the AirPort popup only gives me 4 options for the Wireless Security:
WEP Password
WEP 40/128-bit hex
WEP 40/128-bit ASCII
LEAP
There isn't an option to use WPA. Can anyone advise?

Macbook pro problem with spinning wheel

hello....i have a macbook pro 15" i7 and i have a problem with the spinning wheel of Mac os X. I am always seeing this spinning wheel. for example I open mail and safari at the same time and i get this spining wheel for 25 secondes...
any solutions????
please help me...

i open mail and then the activity and i saw that it was sending me password to find any new mails
Did it find any new mails? Or did it just sit there asking for a password?
then how can i see that my home page is set to one that fully loads accurately in my browser???
Find a website you like to visit that doesn't have problems loading. Google and Wikipedia and Apple's own website all should always work.
Go to Safari menu -> Preferences -> Click on the light switch for General.
There you will find a home page field where you can put that website you like.

Macbook Pro problem with chip on motherboard

Take it to an Apple store or AASP. Forget about the service master.

MacBook Pro Problem with Final Cut Studio

For some reason Final Cut Studio will not run on my MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It loads then disappear. The only version that worked was 5.0 but felt very slow so im thinking it was using rosetta. After reinstalling OSX hoping that would help. Still that didnt help. I installed 5.1 then used Apple Software Update to download all the update. All update was install but still nothing works. Well if this post seems similiar to someone else post please point me to the right place. any answer will help thanks. I've read the support CPU but didnt see any information on whether it support the Core 2 Duo.

no reason it shouldn't work, and work very well at that.
do none of the FCS apps work, or is it just FCP?
if you have just finished a full reinstall, then for good measure you should run Repair Permissions from /Applications/Utilities/Dissk Utility
it may also be that the preference files are corrupted (try FCP Rescue http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ )
also try the prebinding thing ... see this post by Brian Conner http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3961108&#3961108 or the apple technote http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93984

MacBook Pro problem with iPhone personal hotspot connection

MacBook Pro; problem with charge

My 2011 MacBook Pro was charging all night, but won't go above an hour and a half on the battery without it being plugged in. Even having it plugged in for an hour when it dropped to an hour left only brought it back up to an hour. It keeps saying calculating and then 1:30 and the time keeps dropping, even with Wi-Fi off, screen brightness down all of the way, and nothing opened. Usually when I take it to class with me it has a GOOD four hours (if not more) on the charge. Do I let it die and then fully recharge it when I get home from class?
Any help, advice, or past experience you would like to share I would greatly appreciate.
Thank you!

Hold the option key down and click the battery icon in the menu bar.
Does it say condition: Normal?
Do not let the battery run down.

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solveby myself? (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go.

Problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1

I run into problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1. Boot Camp Assistant shows error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.". So what is the problem and how can I work around it?

Hey guys,
This is the problem. My father just got an iPhone 5. He has a Macbook Pro 2009 with OS X 10.5.8. The iPhone is not compatible with this version since the iTunes is an older version as well. At our local Apple store in my home country, they told him he needs to upgrade (which I agree of) but that the memory of this computer is not enough to hold the newer OS.
Please help, he does not really agree with buying a new computer just because of the versions.
Thank you, I appreciate your help.

This is what I have. Thank you so much rdr4lfe.

I want to share my internet connection with my iPhone via the usb cable. I have a Macbook pro. What do you think? Is this possible? And if yes, then how? Thanks!

I want to share my internet connection with my iPhone via the usb cable. I have a Macbook pro. What do you think? Is this possible? And if yes, then how?
If not why option available
Thanks!

What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
Best of luck.

MacBook Pro (Unibody) with Sony XDCAM EX-3 SxS card does not work !

Having bought my 2nd MacBook Pro now with intel chips etc. I was horrified to discover that when I downloaded the XDCAM EX : SxS PRO Device Driver (Mac V1.0.1807) it screwed up the MacBook Pro by taking 10-15mins to get to the desk top. I called a friend who bought the last version of MacBook Pro and it works fine. So where do I go from here.

I just got off the phone with Sony Tech Support and here's what I found out.
-yes they are absolutely aware of the problem (yay!)
-there are conflicts with the SxS driver and the new trackpad driver (hence the loss of some multi-finger gestures and general system sluggishness)
- they're writing a new version now. beta should be next week. then a 1.1 release "2-3 weeks from there"
-the new drivers should be announced on the website sony.com/xdcam under the software section
when I had the driver installed, it did allow me to view the clips on an inserted card. so basically we just need to bear with this for a little while so Sony can fix things. The guy on the phone was incredibly helpful and obviously knew what he was talking about, couldn't thank him enough.

Best cooling pad for Macbook pro 15" with retina (2013)?

Hi,
I have a Macbook pro 15" with retina display, bought in 2013 and I started playing Starcraft on the machine. It becomes extremely hot, almost unbearable to touch and after searching online, I've been told that overheating of macs is relatively common. It is also extremely noisy. Firstly, is this something that I should be worried about, i.e. is it normal? (it is still under warranty) Also, I was looking to get a cooling pad- which one would you recommend? I couldn't find many macbook pro w/ retina display specific ones, so I thought maybe a generic laptop cooling pad?
There are so many to choose from and I don't know where to start! Perhaps the Cooler Master NotePal X3?
Thank you for your help!

is it normal?
Is the game rated for the GPU on the Mac (look at the game's specs)? If not, then I would not run it on that Mac.
If it is rated for the GPU on the Mac, then no, it is not normal, and I would have the machine looked at, after running the hardware test that came with it.
See my tip about MacBook Pro heat:
kmb kmbp: How to deal with MacBook Pro and MacBook heat?
The GPU is the Graphics Processor Unit.
A cooling pad might help, but it might also mask a more serious problem. I've used this cooler on Powerbooks before:
http://www.amazon.com/Antec-Notebook-Cooler-USB-Powered/dp/B0000BVYTV
But only outside warranty. Mind you, because of the heat, sometimes some of the darker markings on the edge of the cooler and come off on the bottom of the notebook. Hence why I would only use it outside of warranty, since such marks may make the AppleCare representative think you might have done something to damage it.

After updating NVidia driver newer than 267.76,
I got black screen after Windows Logo shown during reboot.
After countless annoying tests,
I installed the newest NVidia 285.79 driver without problem finally.
My original prefered display configuration:

I already followed the GeForce Driver Installation Guide, step by step,
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=169555
but there's still black screen after reboot.
THEN, I TRIED TO USE mini-DISPLAY PORT INSTEAD AND REBOOT AGAIN,
video signal was connected to my DELL 2707W(only DVI port)
by MiniDP to HDMI adapter/HDMI-DVI cable.
The display is NORMAL NOW !!

Maybe the driver newer than 267.76 always regard miniDP as primary signal output port,
even if you set the HDMI port as primary.
I think this is a serious bug, but no solution after mote than 30 driver updating.
The following configuration worked on my Mac mini 2010 system:
mini─miniDP to HDMI adapter─
HDMI cable to HDMI splitter─┬HDMI-DVI cable─Dell 2707
                                              └HDMI cable─ 3D projector
but I found that the configuration can't play 3D video...
So I changed the configuration to:
Mac─miniDP to HDMI adapter─HDMI-DVI cable─Dell 2707
      └HDMI cable─ 3D projector
For your reference.

MacBook Pro Problem with screws I think
