    You can try a commercial lens cleaner.  They are sold everywhere for little expense.

  • MacBook Pro blacked out/disk locked

    Hello and thank you for reading this.  I really have no idea what to do next, as I think I have exausted most options.
    My Macbook Pro recently blacked out and I haven't been able to get it to boot/load (?) for several days now.  It just stays in the grey screen with the apple on it and flickering wheel, and won't go beyond that.  I installed Lion on it a couple of weeks ago.
    I bought it in September 2009, and have had it updated every time I have been prompted to do so. 
    My only concern is that I have been eating away the memory with various media. 
    After reading some posts here about how to do a recovery, I tried the following:
    I have been able to get into Disk Utilities and Mac OS X Installer, but I am not getting anywhere with the choices.
    When I try to re-install Lion, it tells me my disk is locked, and I can't go any further.
    When I try to restore the system with my Time Machine back-up (USB 1terabyte external hd), it goes as far as 'Select Destination' and brings up a screen saying 'Searching for disks...' but nothing comes, most probably because my Mac HD is locked.
    I performed a 'disk repair' in Disk Utilities.  The first time it said that it could not be repaired in bold red letters.  I tried it again today, and this time it said the disk was repaired successfully in green letters.  But, it did not give me the option to restart, so I did so after quitting Disk Utilities. Back to square one!!  Same grey screen as I had before.  I don't know what else to do...
    I am now using my old Macbook.
    I will attach pictures of the various screens in my next post if it helps.

    Ok, so I tried the Safe Boot, and a grey progress bar appeared.  After it filled, it disappeared and left me with the same grey screen as always.  I left it going like that for ten minutes, and then gave up.
    I have just booted though the Power/Option key and selected my Time Machine Back-up disk.  Through there, I clicked on Disk Utility and tried to erase my Macintosh HD.
    I wasn't sure which format to select, so I went with the default, which is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). 
    It brought up a message:
    Volume Erase failed
    Volume Erase failed with the error:
    File system formatter failed.
    I could only press 'OK'.   I then tried to do same format, but with encryption.  Same sort of message.
    Just tried to do a Restore using Time Machine Backup as the Source, and Macintosh HD as the Destination, but again, this message popped up:
    Restore Failure
    Not enough space on /dev/disk0s2 to restore
    So, I think my luck has finally run out...

  • Why does my MacBook Pro spit out a CD

    Why does my MacBook pro eject a CD without downloading it?

    You rip a CD.  You download something over a network connection.
    Could be doing it because the CD is bad.  Test the CD in another computer.
    Could be doing it because the drive is bad or dirty.  Try a drive cleaning disc but don't hold out too much hope.  Try other CDs in the drive to see if it is the drive or that particular CD.
    As with any issue of this sort you have to test each step and component in the process individually.

  • MacBook 13 spits out disk

    Hi,
    I am trying to put OS X Snow Leopard on my 2007 MacBook 13. It has 1G memory and over 20 Gig free space. When I put the disk in, it spins for a while, chugs a bit, then spits it out. I put it in my Desktop, and no problem, loaded just fine. All help appreciated. And, yes, I am an administrator when I log in.
    TIA
    Michael

    Thanks. This is a legal copy. I'm giving the laptop to my granddaughter as I have a new MacBook Air, and wanted to bring it up to snuff. Hence, I won't be adding memory. Checking the drive is a good idea, and I should have thought of that, but it seems fine. At least another disk popped up all right. It has an 80G HD, and 20G are free.
    Cheers,
    Michael

  • My MACBOOK Pro turned out to be Snow Leopard, and later upgraded to LION. And update the EFI, I would like to replace the Snow Leopard, EFI can not boot, how do? How to use the Snow Leopard install disk to reduce EFI?

    My MACBOOK Pro turned out to be Snow Leopard, and later upgraded toLION. And update the EFI, I would like to replace the Snow Leopard, EFIcan not boot, how do? How to use the Snow Leopard install disk to reduce EFI?

    Do you mean some of your software does not work in Lion? Do you want to return to using Snow Leopard? If so, then do this:
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • How fast do "old" MacBook Pros go out of stock?

    How fast do MacBooks and MacBook Pros go out of stock in stores after the latest update announcements each year?
    If the rumors that Apple will discontinue installing internal optical drives in their MacBook Pros, then I would want to buy the "older" model before it goes out of stock because I use the opticle drives A LOT for burning and reading physical media, and also like to have hard copy backups of expensive software so that it won't disppear like it would if the hard drive on a backup disk failed.
    I think it would be unlikely they would completly discontinue including optical drives, but very plausible that they could discontinue including them in the 13-inch models of the MacBook Pro to save battery life. However, I don't want to have to pay an extra $500-$700 just to get the 15-inch model either.

    Always buy the latest model when upgrading. Just get an external DVD drive.

  • Does anyone know when the new macbook pro comes out ?

    im wondering if there will be a new macbook pro version sometimes this year  or when was the last uptade or the last macbook pro came out.. thanx

    If I'm not mistaken, retail versions of Windows 7 come with both the 64 bit and 32 bit DVDs in the package (it doesn't make sense for them to market two separate packaged versions).  If you purchased it online via the Microsoft Store for download, they allow you to go back and download either version as well.  Provided you have a legit version of Windows 7, you should have access to either version.
    Either version should work fine on a current Macbook Pro.

  • I am so new to Mac. I just bought this Macbook Pro. No Disks or anything. I need to completely wipe and reinstall. Is there anyplace I can download the disks to burn to dvd to do a complete wipe and reinstall?  I'm running 10.6.8. Or maybe a later version

    I guess you can see how new i am to this, I typed my whole question in the subject. Any way, i bought this macbook pro used, no disks, need to do a complete wipe and reinstall. is there anywhere i can download the install disks to burn to dvd? Or buy either one, or maybe even a later version? Im running 10.6.8 currently.  Thanks in Advance! Terry

    First determine what system you really have.
    Apple menu -> About This Mac.
    If it is 10.7, you don't need installer discs, because there is a recovery partition:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848
    If indeed it is 10.6.something then you'll want to call AppleCare for the discs.
    http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
    If they determine the machine is older than 10.6's initial release (August 28, 2009), you'll want to purchase 10.6 retail, and/or 10.7 retail from the Apple Store.
    Regardless, backup your data first*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    And read the benefits of both 10.6 and 10.7:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465
    and determine which can run on your machine, and decide which you want to have.

  • The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes.

    The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes. It sounds like all the low end is removed. I still hear audio but it is MUCH lower and sounds filtered. I can barely hear it maxed out. Nothing attached (no external drives, no speakers, etc) and it's only a few days old.

    Apple store pronto.  If need be (if less than 14 days from purchase) exchange for a new one!
    Ciao.

  • I will be out of town for two months, will my MacBook Pro drain out by then?

    I will be out of town for two months, will my MacBook Pro drain out by then?
    If yes what precautions should I take??

    mmnoble88,
    I mean that it should not be charged higher than 50% prior to a period of not being used. If its battery is higher than 50% just before you head out of town, you should let it discharge until it’s at 50% or less.

  • Does a macbook pro work out of the united states?

    i will like to know if a macbook pro work out of the united states because i would want to buy one and use it out of the united states

    It will work anywhere, and the warranty is valid world wide. You will probably need to buy some sort of power plug adapter for the USA two-pronged power plug into whatever country socket you intend visiting.
