Macbook Pro - Yosemite. Will send bluetooth images, wont receive???

Hi, i have a Macbook pro, all was fine using Mountain Lion, but then i upgrade directly to Yosemite and now my Mac will not accept and bluetooth images from My Samsung Galaxy 3. This was not a problem before i upgraded.
The Mac will find the phone, say "connected" then it will say "the device does not have the necessary services". This is despite the fact that both are discoverable and have been previously paired.
Seems to me the Yosemite upgrade is all about getting people to buy Iphones and alienating other phone manufacturers. Very short sighted Apple.
Can anyone help to resolve the issue please. I have tried Kies, but that does not help the bluetooth issue. Running Yosemite 10.10.2

Hey this was happening to me too! So i called apple care, i have a the Late 2011 Macbook Pro, and this is what they suggested:
1. open system preferences
2. open engery saver
3. look at "Computer sleep" and move it over to a longer time period
for instance I had mine at 5 minutes so thats why it would go to sleep all the time
-now I set it to 25 minutes
Hope that fixes your problems!

If I buy a MacBook Pro now will it update to the new Yosemite in the fall?

If I buy a MacBook Pro now, will it update to the new Yosemite software in the fall?

If you purchase a brand new model, yes. If you purchase an older one, it depends on what the system requirements for Yosemite are, which aren’t publicly available.

Need to boot new macbook pro (yosemite 10.10) with an external drive (snow leopard 10.6.8)

need to boot a new macbook pro (yosemite 10.10) with an external drive (snow leopard 10.6.8). Toshiba canvio 1TB, USB 3.0. Have formatted it for mac already. Actually works when chosen as the "boot drive" on my 2009? macpro desktop with snow leopard 10.6.8. OS. I still need to work from FCP 7.0.3 as we have many projects from the past that must be "re-edited" from time to time. The macbook pro sees the drive from the systems preferences as a "boot drive" but nothing happens when it is selected. Have also tried from start up, holding option key until drives appear for boot. Will only go as far as the grey screen with apple logo when selecting external drive.

Try using a virtual machine.
Parallels
VirtualBox
VM Fusion
Snow Leopard server for use with the above. Call 1-800-692-7753 and order part number MC588Z/A. Cost is $19.99 + sales tax and shipping.
Virtual Machine for 10.7/10.8

HT1338 how do I boot a MacBook pro that will not shut down

HOw can I reboot shut don MacBook pro that will not shutdown, please help.....?......

Hi, I'm having similar problem. I just got a Lacie ext drive to back up my photos and vids and now my laptop wont shut down or go to sleep properly. May or may not be related to Lacie. Could just be a coincidence.
I first noticed problem when I closed it to go to sleep and the apple logo kept flashing on and off.
When I opened the laptop the screen was flashing white then black, then white then black. Had to force shut
it down (opt, cmnd,power), had to hold it down a very long time before it responded. However, that didn't keep it shut down. It just started back up again. But at least it wasn't flashing.
Then when i tried to shut it down normally it would shut down, go black for a moment and then the Apple song would play and it would start back up again. It also won't stay asleep. It sleeps for two seconds when put into sleep mode then snaps awake.
strange problem... Very annoying. Next option is to unplug and let battery run out.

17" MacBook Pro Yosemite Install Stuck at 50% after reboot

On newer systems, after the Yosemite installer reboots, it shows a white Apple logo on a black screen. There is also a white progress bar like on the iOS devices.
I understand on older systems including my 17" Early 2011 MacBook Pro, we will have the grey background with the black Apple Logo and progress bar.
I do have that. However, the progress bar has been stuck half way for almost 3 hours. Should I wait it out?
(BTW I wish the 17" MPBs were still being made for those of us that multi-task while on the road. It's fine to add displays but bigger is better like the new iPhone 6 Plus.)

I encountered a similar problem. Progress bar stayed at about ½ way. After giving it an hour or more to sort itself out, I gave up and did a hard restart (held down the power button. Once off, Pressed it again to start.) Immediately after powering on, held down command S. Then did a disk repair. (Command is displayed just above the prompt). Waited for it to do it's thing. Took a while and repaired a misallocated block (most like caused by the forced shut down). Once finished did a reboot (type reboot). Reboot went well and was up in running fairly quickly after that. All good for now.

Means they are going to mess up your iPhoto Library pictures database so it's unreadable by older versions of iPhoto on older OS X operating systems.
You have the choice to right click on the iPhoto Lbrary and inside is a folder called Origianls, use the Finder to Duplicate this folder, then move the OriginalsCopy out of the iPhoto Library folder and save it elsewhere.
I dont' think Apple will every intentionally touch the originals, however it's possible they could.

My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

Reinstall OS X.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
OR
Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
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. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

HT3964 2009 macbook pro superdrive will not load discs

2009 Macbook pro superdrive will not accept discs. The loading mechanism appears not to be responding. The mechanism may be jammed as it will not allow the disc to be fully inserted. Last time I played a disc I had trouble ejecting it. I managed to get disc out can't remember how. Think the disc must have partially ejected and I managed to pull it out. Can anyone help?

Hi kayj128,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps for troubleshooting the SuperDrive built in to your Macbook Pro:
Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2801
Doesn't accept discs
Be sure to check your disc to make sure it is flat. You can check this by putting the disc upside-down on a flat surface. If the disc is bowed up on any side or in the center, do not use the disc because it might get stuck in the drive. Do not use discs that have anything attached to them or dangling from them (such as "sweeper" or cleaning discs).
If the drive struggles when you put in a disc or stops part-way, carefully look at the disc for labels that may be interfering. If there aren't any raised labels then try putting the disc in a few more times.
Try another disc to see if the issue is being caused by a specific disc.
Make sure you insert the disc far enough for the drive mechanism to activate. You need to insert discs nearly all the way before the drive will activate and pull them in. If you don't completely insert a disc, the drive will reverse and push the disc back out.
Allow the drive one or two seconds to accept the disc while it is fully inserted.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
If the drive repeatedly does not accept discs, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
Cheers,
- Ari

Acrobat pro XI won't download on my MacBook Pro Yosemite

I paid for Acrobat XI Pro Subscription Edition on 28 October 2014. It wouldn't download then on my MacBook Pro (Yosemite). How can I donwload it without having to pay again?
It is amazing that the only service I can get is from a community forum.
If someone from ADOBE is reading this please know that I am paying for a service and I can't even get the software onto my computer.
It is probably time to start a twitter campaign

Hi 12x6x24,
What happens when you try to download Acrobat? Do you get an error message? What browser are you trying to download from? Are you able to download it directly from this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - Adobe
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
