MacBook Pro Video Update 1.0 problem

I downloaded MacBook Pro Video Update 1.0 (Snow Leopard) and I am using Mac OS X Ver 10.6.8 however it alerts that this software is not supported on your system. I have the problem of black screen of death. I am using an extra display. I arranged mirrors displays so I can use the computer.
What should I do?
By the way I am in Turkey.

I went the authorized service in Ankara Turkey. They said they have to change whole screen and wanted to get 800$. Of course, I rejected. Then, they said they have a second hand display connector cable (which was the suspected piece for the problem) to replace for $80. I accepted and gave $80. Problem fixed! My computer is still working perfectly.

I upgraded to Lion and then all video clips on for instance Youtube freeze every tenth second to buffer more data. I have a MacBook Pro and never had any problems when using Snow Leopard. Ulf Magnusson, Sweden

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Problem with MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1

I've installed the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 on my 17" MacBook Pro. Seems to have fixed any keyboard issues I may have been experiencing. But every time I run software update this particular update wants to be installed again. I've run the install three times and it's still being flagged as being needed.
Anyone else having this problem?
Only thing that I suspect is that it's because I've got my HD formatted as case-sensitive. I've noticed that formatting a drive as case-sensitive will break several popular games.
Can't we standardize on case-sensitive volumes yet, it's the 21st century for crying out loud!

I had the same issue.
How did you figure this out?
I was on the phone for almost two hours (mostly waiting) with support and they simply came up with 'Archive' and 'Store' and 'Rebuild' your system, which quite frankly would not have fixed this issue because I still would have a case-sensitive drive.

I have programmed iCal and Address book to sync via MobileMe. The info I type in iCal and Address Book on the MacBook Pro gets updated on the iPad, but not the other way around. Any hints?

Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix.... :(

MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6 - Freeze

Hi all,
Facts:
model: MacBookPro8,1
OS: OS X 10.7.5
Story:
i got a Macbook Pro 8,1 (13,3" Early 2011) which worked flawlessly - until yesterday.
Yesterday I decided to install the MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1626) - a bit unusual for me, since i normally wait a few weeks until others tried such an update. I did nothing in parallel on my mac, just the update. After the installation process i rebooted my system to finish the update process, the scm update installation run, everything seemed to went fine.
But shortly after the login process, my System froze and i had to hard shutdown my macbook. The first 3 or 4 attempts to only switch on my computer i got only a flashing indicator led, as usual, but not display output, no start sound, nothing. I waited a few minutes, tried again, the system started to boot until the login window, but i had no time to input my credentials - the system froze again.
Since a got a bit computer experience, it's my day job, i first thought of a bad RAM. So i replaced it with two totally new ones (Corsair Mac Memory) and some older original Apple RAM, but nothing changed. I did the same with the harddisk, even i don't think it's related to a harddrive failure because of the symptoms, while trying to install a fresh OS - the system froze again.
After that i tried everything Apple proposed: SMC reset multiple times, NVRAM/PRAM reset multiple times, but nothing helped in my case.
So the current state is as follows:
- The system freezes everytime, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. But normally within 10 seconds. (I observed, the longer the computer stays off, the later the freeze appears). After a hard shutdown, i've to wait a few minutes to get the computer to display anything.
- I read the log files after installing the harddrive to another computer (it works fine there), but there seems nothing special (i could post it, if somebody need it). The system just stops responding.
I think, it MUST be related to the MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6, because i had no problems at all before this firmware update, problems started after it.
Is anybody out there, who has another suggestion for me, or has the same symptoms?
G,
NoWay

I have MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010) and similar problem (gray screen, system not start, noisy fan, etc.)
I applied last SMC firmware update 1.6
as a result I have unworking MacBook Pro.
When I have been looking table http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 I am realised that link http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1626 on update for MacBookPro8,1 1.68f99 (SMC 1.6) and for MacBookPro7,1 1.62f7 (SMC 1.6) is same. And then I booted from Installation Disk1 with 10.6.4 and saw that my version of SMC is 1.68f99 instead 1.62f7.
In my opinion it's the main reason of our common problem. Apple released not correct SMC update and this update made briks from our MacBook Pro!!!

MacBook Pro Software Update Results in Singlu-User Mode

Hello,
Since I have had problems before with Software update, I have decided to install one item at a time to find out which update packages cause problems.
When I installed the latest "MacBook Pro Software Update", which is strongly recommended, I ended up getting stuck with the single-user mode and now I cannot get out. When I boot, I get a console instead of a Graphical User Interface. I am really tired of Tiger. I have used Linux for the past 9 years and found it to be excellent. I expected much more from Mac OS X when I first bought my system two weeks ago. I already did an "Archive and Reinstall" and I don't want to do it again.
How can I go back to the usual GUI environment?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
K.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Here is the solution to the problem. It is simply due to XCode installation. For some reason, one needs to perform the "MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0" after an "Archive + Install" before installing any other software.
If Xcode is installed before the update, something gets messed and the computer keeps booting to a Console instead of the GUI.
Hope this helps to others,
K.

MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1

I am having the same issue many others are having in regards to the MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 installing again, and again, and again, and again, ... Maybe you see the point.
I have browsed the Discussions, and tried some suggestions, (case sensitive) but it still installs, again and again, and again...
I am a little worried why Apple has not addressed this. This problem has existed since 12/18/2007. I think we have endured this long enough. If apple is not going to provide help, are there any users out there listening that have spent effort and found a solution.
I am all Ears!!!
Thanks, Steve

I have tried the solution listed here about case sensitive journaling. However, it did not help me.

MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 continues to appear

This has been the first really strange issue since I upgraded to Leopard. Ever since the MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 in Software Update, it continues to appear as if it was not installed. If I look at my installation log, it shows that I have installed it about 9 times since it was released. Here are the last few entries in my installation log:
2007-12-21 22:17:05 -0500: Installed "MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update" (1.1)

2008-01-05 22:32:22 -0500: Installed "MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update" (1.1)
Is it safe to ignore this update? What is going on? Is there something wrong with my system? I haven't noticed any other problems.. I have no idea how Mac OS X determines if I need an update or not.

OK, here's what i did:
1) navigate to the: /Library/Updates sub-directory
(as in: "Macintosh HD" - "Library" folder - "Updates" folder
2) there should be a file named, "index.plist" - this is
the definition file for the update - i suspect this should
be removed by the Updater once the update is complete.
3) rename the file (don't delete it) ... i renamed the
file to, "index.plist.onhold"
you probably don't have to, but i rebooted the system, to
ensure nothing broke. afterwards, i did a "Software Update"
and it reported the system is up to date.

MacBook (Pro) Software Update 1.1 stays in the update application

As of the release of the MacBook (Pro) update to fix some keyboard/mouse issues (I didn't notice any problems) I'm not getting rid of the update in the updater:
It installs, reboots and pops up again. I've done this process several times now and if you go to
Preferences -> Softwareupdate -> Installed updates
it is there twice.
After the first time the update got installed, the MacBook was not able to reboot. It stuck in the bootup process and I removed power after approx 15 minutes with a black screen.
After that "forced" reboot, it worked like before - except the broken software update.
That's what I found in the logs, but I've no idea...
8<--------------------------
Dec 25 12:07:48 macbook-pro Software Update[205]: Package Authoring Error: installation-check results requires a message

Anyone?

I have those same messages in the install.log.
My Software Update.log shows this:
2007-12-18 01:09:38 -0500: Installed "Security Update 2007-009" (1.0)
2007-12-24 12:18:26 -0500: Installed "Security Update 2007-009" (1.1)
After the first time the update got installed, the MacBook was not able to reboot. It stuck in the bootup process and I removed power after approx 15 minutes with a black screen.
Well, this is what fubar Software Update.
If you feel the update was installed properly, Software Update can be set to ignore the update.

Is anyone else getting this problem?

I have the exact same problem. So far it has showed that I have "installed" it 6 times, but it still comes up. At this point I am just dismissing it, but it has gotten annoying. Has anyone heard of a fix/remedy yet for this?

MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 Refuses to Install

Ok well I have a very annoying problem. Since the 18th, I've been getting daily notices about the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 thing, and daily I have been saying "OK, go ahead and interrupt what I'm doing, install it and then leave me alone." And then the next day, I get yet another message saying i need to install it.
Needless to say, this is highly annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting the same behavior. I'm not sure but I think this may be related to whether the FIRST time you encounter this update, you opt to restart later rather than right away. Perhaps you can verify whether this was the approach you took as well. In any event, no number of restarts now of my MacBook Pro with 10.5.1 will prevent me from getting yet another message that the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 is waiting to be downloaded and installed.
I assume Leopard has left largely unchanged the practice of placing a record of updates in its /Library/Receipts directory. If the properties of this directory change, such that it prevents it from being updated, this could lead Apple's "Software Update" utility to think software has never been installed when perhaps it has been installed after all.
I would consider also that perhaps the SoftwareUpdate.plist file may be questionable. I notice that while almost all other plist files in /Library/Preferences list "root" as the owner, the SoftwareUpdate.plist lists my own user name as the owner.
I think commands such as chown and chmod may become our best friend where this apparent bug is concerned; but I recognize that all the foregoing speculation on my part is a longshot.
I welcome the comments of others who encounter this behavior.

Macbook pro not updating IMovie

My macbook pro recently updated to os x 10.9.1. It had problems doing so. The updates page says it is done, but it will not accept an IMovie update which requires 10.9.1 to be installed first. Any suggestions?

I did a safe boot and reinstalled 10.9.1. All ok now.

MacBook Pro - all updates - Facetime initiates call but disconnects before call is connected

MacBook Pro - all updates - Facetime initiates call but disconnects before call is connected

Does your mic work in System Preferences?
System Preferences > Sound > Input
There is an Input Level meter that should light up when you talk. Just to make sure your mic and Mac are working.
Which mic are you using? Are you using the built in mic on an Apple Display? I have Apple's LED display and every time I use Facetime, as in place or take a call, the mic input volume gets reset to a level so low, people can't hear me. I have to manually raise the mic volume back to where I had set it. When I end the call, Facetime resets the volume back to where I set it. If I don't reset the mic volume level on each and every call, people can't hear me.
I called Apple on this. They downloaded a log file tool to my Mac and took some logs. Then they called me back and said this works as designed. Incredible.
So, if you are using Apple's LED display, this may be your problem. Note that the mic volume level gets set low and reset back only during a call. If you check it before a call and then after a call, it looks fine as if nothing changed. Open up the Sound prefernces and watch it get reset in real time.

Macbook Pro 13 (Early 2011) Charging Problems

Recently I noticed that when I charge my macbook pro, the LED light on the magsafe would go green then orange to show that it is charging. However after a few minutes or seconds the orange LED light will go off (Stops Charging) and the whole process of charging starts again, green light then orange then nothing...
I already tried resetting the PRAM and SMU. I also tried using different wall sockets for charging and it yielded the same results. However, when i borrowed my friends mac charger, my MBP manage to charge without any problems. When he used my charger the charging problem also occurred.
So i decided to bring it to an Apple Authorized service provider sine they are no Apple Retail Stores in Thailand. I told the guy at the AASP that my charger was probably broken/faulty, but he said it was the receiver sensor of the macbook pro (The place where i connect the magsafe to my MBP ). He used a different charger (At the counter)and the LED lights when from Green, Orange then yellow and said the MBP needed to be sent to Singapore to be repaired and it would take 10 - 14 days. I said OK since my MBP was still in warranty and it would be free. Next day he called and said he fixed it by resetting something and that I could pick it up. At the AASP, the macbook pro didnt show any charging problems so i brought it home to charge.
Now it has the same charging problem as before...

Do you have another power adapter to try? If so, can you use the power adapter that came with this mac?
Do you have another MBP? If so can you use this power adapter on that MBP?
Are you using another pointing device or is it the one built right into the laptop? If you are using another pointing device try purchasing a new one or disconnecting or reconnecting or even try on another computer.
You might be only able to get buy for the next few month until you graduate until you can get your computer fixed. If all else fails go buy yourself a $8 mouse from a place, it will work until you can get this fixed... or buy apple mice if that is a big deal to you.
Here is one for only 3.18! http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Gear+Head-Computer+-+OM3800U+Mouse/3933383.p?id=1218 443155891&skuId=3933383
Or if you want the one I have used: (M515 @ home or HP Wired Mouse-- Its kind of old) This isn't the exact one but they discontinued that one: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/devices/mouse-m100 so for $10 you get a mouse and your computer works.

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to Mavericks OS. The screen died and it's not worth replacing. How do I remove the hard drive and use a drive sled to access info I need?

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to the Mavericks OS. The screen died and I took it into an Apple store and was told replacing the screen and the hardware to repair everything would cost almost as much as buying a new laptop or a cheaper model. I was told that I can use a drive sled to access data I need on my hard drive. How do I remove my hard drive and use a drive sled to get to the information I need? What makes matters more complicated is I need to update my iPhone and my iTunes/App store purchases. How can I accomplish this?
My wife has a late 2008 Macbook Pro as well, which I am assuming I need to run my hard drive. Is there a way to just access just my hard drive without interfering with hers?
I know this is lengthy. Thanks to whoever looks at this and offers advice/instruction.

the device you need is an External enclosure for a 2.5" (laptop form factor) SATA drive.
A USB-interface enclosure will be slow, but is adequate for this task and for re-purposing as a backup drive later. A firewire-interface drive would be faster, but is harder to find, more expensive, and faster than needed for this purpose.
The drive will mount as an "extra" drive on your wife's Macbook, and you can drag and drop whatever you wish. You could create a separate Account for yourself on her computer, and use Migration Assistant or just copy your stuff over to the new account. Then it would not interfere with her files.
