Macbook pro starts up , opens bootcamp into win7, and all mac users except one

I have macbook pro that has always worked like a charm. Yesterday I started it and it opens to screen with choice of users. I clicked on my account and it went through motions and took me back to original screen. I checked and was able to pen all other accounts. I restarted and was able to open in windows as well. Logged in as another user with admin priveliges I created a new admin user. I was able to open locked admin functions with new account and password for account unable to open. I verified HD and permissions. Next thing will be to boot from system disk and repar permissions. Any ideas....Never seen anything like this in 20 years

I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone. That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
You can check compatibility of your apps here:

I transferred data to my MacBook Pro, then I accidentally did an UNDO and all the data desapeared....What can I do to recover it???

Sorry, but it's probably lost, then, presuming you never made a backup. There's a dim chance that you could recover at least some of the data using a file recovery utility such as Data Rescue from Prosoft Engineering, but the chances aren't good and get lower the more you use your computer.

Macbook Pro 13" problems opening apps, installing updates and lag.

Hey guys i got a Macook Pro 13" a few months ago and now I cant open itunes or limewire and a few other applications. They just bounce for 30 seconds and i get a message that it's unexpectedly quit and the options if i wana report it or not. I've done repair permissions made a new account and still no progress. I've inserted the cd it came with to do a hardware test and as its booting back up I hear a click sound and everything shuts off. Another thing to add is that there is alot of lag takes awhile for it to open up the finder files.
Is this a RAM problem? I went to about this computer and it says the status is ok and iv taken out 1 of 2 of my rams twice too see if the problem still continued and it did. Or am I going to need a new hard drive?
Iv also tried to do a software update but as im installing it i get the unexpected quit error again.
please help

The 1600MHz RAM "should" work on a system that has a 1333MHz bus, since it is only going to down-clock the RAM; however, the system was not tested with this configuration and there may be unexpected behaviors from it.
If it's not specifically a compatibility issue with the speed ratings, it may be an issue with bad sectors in the RAM itself. To test this, load the Apple Hardware Test suite by booting your system with the "D" key held down (or Option-D to load the tools from the Internet). When the tools load, check the box for the extended memory test and run it. This will take several hours to complete, but will report any bad memory addresses it finds.
If you find any bad addresses, then you should be able to return the RAM for a replacement since most manufacturers supply lifetime warranties for RAM modules.

Macbook Pro Retina GeForce 650M Cuda Crash (Important Information for Mac Users)

Over the past 4 months, I've experience random Open CL issues with PR CC and also complete computer shutdowns with PR CC using Cuda acceleration. In this time, both Adobe and Apple have looked at my computer. Apple has replaced the Logic Board and the graphic cards and the same issue is still present.
The issue is still very much present! It appears to be solely hardware related. A typical response from the Macbook Pro Retina is that the video image will appear briefly and then disappear in the video monitor. Next, the computer will completely crash and restart or if I am lucky the program will shut down and display an error message, "A serious graphic issue has been detected."
For your sack and mine, I hope we can come together to solve this issue.
Sincerley,
Levi

I'm in the exact same boat, idareu2mov. I got a new MBP Retina with OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion preloaded, downloaded the latest Nvidia Cuda driver 5.0.24, edited the TXT files to accept the GeForce GT 650M video card, opened up After Effects CS6 11.0.0 and BAM! I got the error on start up:
"After Effects error: Ray-traced 3D: Initial shader compile failed. ( 5070 :: 0 )"
When I go into my After Effects > Preferences > Previews settings, I now have the ability to switch between CPU and GPU, which is new since I updated the TXT file to accept my video card.
What's strange is that if I set the Previews setting to CPU, then restart AE, I don't get the error. When I turn on GPU while in AE, still no error. But if I leave the GPU setting on and restart AE, up pops the error again.
I've been to the end of the internet and back and haven't found a solution yet. The latest advice is to update to AE CS6 11.0.1. Hopefully that will fix the error.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

My MacBook Pro keyboard not working correctly after Win7 bootcamp installation. In OSx boot it keep Win keyboard. How can I have Mac keyboard in OS boot and Win keyboard in Win boot?

My MacBook Pro keyboard not working correctly after Win7 bootcamp installation.
Installation went well but when I boot either with OSx or Win it always keeps Windows keyboard.
How can I have Mac keyboard in OS boot and Win keyboard in Win boot?

Hi - I have the exact same model as your MacBook and had a few questions as mine is acting up. I upgraded the ram to 8gb (2x 4GB ram) and ever since then my computer has not been running as smoothly and the start up time is horrendous. Have you encountered this problem? And if so how did you fix? What would you advise me do?
I was thinking of reverting back to the original factory 4GB then rebooting the entire computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

How can I stop power point from opening each time my Macbook Pro starts?

How can I stop power point from opening each time my Macbook Pro starts?

Remove it from the list in Startup Items (System Preferences).

For some reason, when my Macbook Pro starts up, all of the MS Office applications open. This was not happening when I first purchased the laptop, and I never added these apps to the startup menu. How do I remove these apps from startup?

By default Mac apps do not close when you close the window you were working in. Unlike in Windows when you click the top right X icon in any program is closes the window and the program shuts down. On Mac OS X clicking the X in the top left hand corner only closes that windows and leave the program running in the background. If they are left open and you reboot they will restart with the system and load a window for them.

How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?

How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?
My optical drive is non-functional and I want to dual boot with win7. The only problem is my macbook does not boot from USB at all, even when I hold th ALT key down when it is starting up.
-I have a flashdrive with win7 on it.
-I mounted the ISO of win7 with toast for bootcamp to do its thing.

Good luck.
Consider this a bump so that hopefully someone with better news spots your thread.

Macbook Pro starts up, has a small loading bar, and then shuts off.

Macbook Pro starts up, has a small loading bar, and then shuts off after a few seconds, but the Windows bootcamp partition works fine.
The repair disc option (using install disc) failed, and the computer cannot locate the original Mac side partition. Only Bootcamp appears under options to "restore from backup" or reinstall. The repair disc options says it should be repaired but doesn't seem to know how.
Macbook Pro.
Snow leaopard
Bootcamped with Windows.
Any ideas?

Hold c or option key and boot off the 10.6 installer disk, run DU Repair from there.
run through this list of fixes 1-8
Step by Step to fix your Mac
If it doens't work, you can recover files if you don't have any current OS X file backups, then grab what you can out of Bootcamp
Use Data Rescue installed on the extenral boot drive ($100) to read the bits of the internal (non-filevaulted) drive to retrieve OS X data files if you can't get them off manually via drag and drop methods.
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
If you want to clone Windows, use WinClone and another drive. However it's likely compromised, unless it something you did in Windows, like trying to create a new parttition perhaps?
Then perform a Zero Erase and install of 10.6 as shown here (on the entire drive, not only the parittions), this will give a new GUID partition table, EFI and map off bad sectors, totally fresh everything.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
You cna use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the new extenral setup to the new scrubbed internal drive. Recreate Bootcamp and WinClone back or fresh install Windows into Bootcamp like before. OR opt to use virtual machine software which is safer.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
Windows 7 can write to the boot drives GUID partition map (unlike XP), this is likely why it's borked now.

You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

MacBook Pro started running slow and freezing up

Hi,
What are some things I can do when my MacBook Pro starts running slow and freezing up? For example, windows are slow to open, and that pinwheel thing keeps spinning. Clean up tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

tamyc,
You can try resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller;
You can try booting into Safe mode, to see whether it runs just as slowly (and freezes up) then;
You can try disabling your antivirus software, to see if that makes a difference;
You can download, install, and run EtreCheck, and include in your reply the output from an EtreCheck run, which might help identify software which should be uninstalled or updated.

Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1. I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??

Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?

When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.
