MacBookPro OSX Issue

I bought a MBP (Early 2011), which came with Snow Leopard. By then, Lion was already out, and I received an email that offered me a redeem code for a free download f Lion for my MBP. I did it.
Now, my mac is getting slow, and I want to reinstall Lion on it, but I can't download lion from the app store.
Does anyone know a way for me to do this without buying Lion?
Thank you in advance,
Cláudio

Boot the computer holding down the Command+r keys and that will boot you to the Recovery HD partition. From there run Disk Utility and Erase the Macintosh HD partitionof the drive. When nthat is finished exit out of DU and select Reinstall OS X and click Continue. That will start the reinstall of Lion, downloading it from the internet.
You may need your Apple ID and when you erase the drive all your files and all info, programs and such, will be deleted from the hard drive so have a backup of them.
Good Luck.

Safari 5.1.7 on my MacBookPro OSX 10.7.4 freezes unexpectedly. This issue just started. Any ideas?

Safari 5.1.7 on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.4 freezes after a few minutes of loading. Any ideas?

Hi ..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that didn''t help, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
For Lion v10.7x: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, from the menu bar again, click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click Details then click: Remove All Website Data
If that didn't help, might be corrupted Safari preferences (.plist)
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
Tip: Disabling the Lion "resume" feature will help to avoid caching issues in Safari.
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
If nothing above has helped, go to Safari > Preferences > Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
And try troubleshooting Safari unsupported plugins. From the menu bar click Safari > Preferences > Security
Deselect: Enable plug-ins. Quit then relaunch Safari. If that made a difference, follow the instructions here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

JDev 10G OSX Issues

Hi-
I am starting this thread as a discussion area for bugs and issues with JDev 10G on Apple OSX 10.3. JDev is not officially supported on OSX, however, I am hoping that by providing well defined issue lists we can move that process along. Please add to this list if you are running JDev on OSX and find other issues!
Thanks Gerard for encouraging me to post these (and sorry for my slow response).
Eric Everman
___Problems in the 10G release that were present in preview release___
-The Apple LnF has some missing icons and general painting issues in the file browser.
-com.apple.macos.useScreenMenuBar has been depreciated message on startup (noted other places)
-(MAJOR) JDev cannot correctly resolve paths using symbolic links. I haven't tried this, but I would suspect this is a problem on Linux as well. If I open a project that uses a symbolic link within its path, JDev seems to think there are two copies each file - one on the linked path and one on the fully resolved path. Somehow out of this, Jdev ends up placing all files into a Miscellaneous package under Web Content and Application Sources.
-Import... The dialog seems to have a hardcoded background color. When running under OSX with the Apple LnF, the background color is the dark color of the Oracle LnF in portions of the dialog.
-The sort order for files in the file dialogs is case sensative is a unfriendly way: A-Z sorts as a group before a-z. Preferable would be Aa, Bb, etc, as OSX applications (and windows applications) do. Is this also a problem in Linux?
-Quiting JDev results in the following error (terminal text from JDev start to JDev Quit):
================================
Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.SecurityException
at oracle.ide.IdeCore$1.checkExit(IdeCore.java:165)
at java.lang.Runtime.exit(Runtime.java:88)
at java.lang.System.exit(System.java:715)
at com.apple.eawt.Application.handleQuit(Application.java:406)
JavaAWT: Assertion failure: Java exception thrown
JavaAWT: File src/macosx/native/apple/awt/util/AWTException.m; Line 40
JavaAWT: Assertion failure: _javaException

2004-04-30 10:54:36.344 java[2230] See Java exception object
================================
-Dual monitors Issue: (partially fixed) Works great under Apple LnF as long as com.apple.macos.useScreenMenuBar is 'false'. When set to 'true' and working in the non-main window (the window w/o the menubar), context menus pop-up at the edge of the main window instead of at the mouse location.
-Command-Q will quit JDev, but will not always kill the associated Embedded OC4J instance. I can't always reproduce this - perhaps it happens after I've switched projects, recompiled somethings, etc..
-Quiting JDev using any method other File|Quit results in the open file list not being saved. (Other methods are Command-Q or the JDev menu item Quit option)
___Problems in the preview release that were fixed in the 10G release___
-Fixed: The close/minimize buttons on tabs and panes now display properly in the Apple LnF.
-Fixed: Save As... removes the original file from the project list. So it looks as if the file has been renamed - in reality the original file is still on the disc, just no longer part of the project.
-Fixed: The state of open files is not restored when JDev is resarted. Somewhere along the line I ended up with the JDev Welcome page and a class file as being the open files each time I start JDev, regardless of what files were open when I closed JDev. Tried with OSX LnF and Oracle LnF.
-Fixed: When running under OSX LnF, editing code will result in the addition of a 'Code' menu to the menu bar, however, all of the other menu items are de-activated (greyed out). When the context changes to something other then code editing, the 'Code' menu item disappears, but all of the other menu items remain de-activated. Also, the Code item is added after the Help item, which is non standard. Under the Oracle LnF, the behaviour is as expected.
-(Have not replicated in 10G release) After switching from MS Windows to OSX using JDev 10G for both, leading square bracket characters ([) seem to be stripted from JavaScript in JSP pages. Additionally, an extra space is sometimes inserted after a litteral in square braces. If you see something similar, please submit more details. I have a more detailed writeup in the Technologies|Apple section - search for 'square bracket characters'.
-Fixed: Structure pane incorrectly displayed multi-line JSP comments that started with carriage returns.
___New Issues in the 10G release (or not before found)___
-On startup, several errors are listed in the JDev message pane:
================================
/Applications/jdev/jdev/lib/ext/bc4j_installer.jar!/META-INF/jdev-ext.xml
Error: <Line 4, Column 22>: XSD-2034: (Error) Element 'feature' not expected.
Error: <Line 24, Column 14>: XSD-2021: (Error) Element not completed: 'extensions'
/Applications/jdev/jdev/lib/ext/bigraphext.jar!/META-INF/jdev-ext.xml
Error: <Line 4, Column 22>: XSD-2034: (Error) Element 'feature' not expected.
Error: <Line 17, Column 14>: XSD-2021: (Error) Element not completed: 'extensions'
================================
After adding the JUnit extension, I also get these messages at startup:
=================================
/Applications/jdev/jdev/lib/ext/jdev905_JUnit Folder/bc4j_junit_addin.jar!/meta-inf/jdev-ext.xml
Error: <Line 4, Column 22>: XSD-2034: (Error) Element 'feature' not expected.
Error: <Line 39, Column 14>: XSD-2021: (Error) Element not completed: 'extensions'
/Applications/jdev/jdev/lib/ext/jdev905_JUnit Folder/junit_addin.jar!/meta-inf/jdev-ext.xml
Error: <Line 4, Column 22>: XSD-2034: (Error) Element 'feature' not expected.
Error: <Line 98, Column 14>: XSD-2021: (Error) Element not completed: 'extensions'
================================
-The window location and/or size is not restored on startup. I typically run dual monitors with jdev full-screen on the larger of the two. jdev often starts less then full screen size or not in the full screen location.
-Inner Classes are not properly used by JDev. This chunk of code:
================================
import java.util.Map;
//code in a method
Map.Entry entry;
================================
Results in JDev underlining Map.entry with a mouseover note that says 'Access not allowed for class 'java.util.Map.Entry'.
-Find and Replace with 'prompt' option locks the editor (hard to replicate)
-JDev will sometimes 'swallow' a keystroke while it is poping up a Code Insight box (hard to replicate)
___General Feature Requests___
-Several of the common File menu options could be added to the context menu in the Application Navigator tab. For instance, Save As, Remove From Project, Delete, and Refactor-> are all common functions that are nice to have 'right there'.
-When typing import statements, is there some way to have jdev continue showing context lists after a selection is made? For instance, when entering:
import org.apache.commons.lang.RandomStringUtils;
I type "org." which allows me to choose apache from the list. Then... nothing - I have to backspace to delete the '.' and retype it in order to get the next code completion popup. In JBuilder there was the option to select an item from the list by pressing the '.' (dot), which would immediately continue with another context selection box.

Okay, lets see how many of these we can already deal with:
** General Look And Feel Issues:
* Missing icons and redrawing issues in the file browser
Loged as new bug 3609752
* ...useScreenMenuBar has been depreciated message
Can find this, are you sure this is not being confused with the antialiasing messages?
* Dialog background colors
Logged as bug 2610818
* Open dialog sorting
Logged as new bug 3609768
* AWT exception on exiting:
Logged as bug 3525259
* Multi monitor bug
Unfortunately we only have a few macs and non of them have more than one monitor at the moment. But from your description this problem seem to lie with Apple rather than us. I will keep an eye on it for you though.
** Error messages on startup
I belive this is a common problem accross all platform.
** Inner classs issue
Again this is a problem with all versions of JDeveloper. Logged as bug 3546309, not currently scheduled to be fixed until the next release. Note that this only seems to affect the highligthing in the editor and nothing else.
** Items not being saved, position not being restored.
If you press Apple-Q the Java virtual machine will kill jdeveloper and not allow it to close down properly. This can be resolve by addin hooks provided by apple. For the 903 preview release we had an addin for this. I will look at providing a drop in for 9.0.5.1
** Symbolic links, and other enhancements
In will invetigate symbolic links and get back to you. I will also look at tracing down ER or log bugs for the other enhancemnts you mention
Thanks for the details,
G.

HT2490 How to get two (or more) active websites on screen - MacbookPro OSX 10.9. Opening a new one overwrites the original.

With several past OSX installations, I could open several web sites and back-up to the previous one.
Now, with OSX 10.9 (Matrix), in most cases, each new web site overwrites the previous one.
In some instances, a second window in a site will allow a return or a Track Pad swipe to return to the original window.
17" MacBook Pro with OSX 10.9
Are there settings available to allow multiple web sites to remain open?

Do you use tabs? I always have several open throughout the day and can simply hit the tab to return to that page. Or, if you have enough screen real estate, open a couple of windows side by side; however, only one will be active at any time.

24 LED Display + New MacBookPro Clamshell Issues

I've recently purchased a new MacBookPro 15" and a 24" LED Display. I'm using the older style bluetooth keyboard (white) and mighty mouse on bluetooth.
When I close the lid on the MacBookPro (after the display appears on the LED display), it goes to sleep. No matter what keyboard keys I press, or click the mouse - it won't come out of sleep until I lift the lid.
I've made sure that the box 'allow bluetooth devices to wake system' is ticked. Any ideas anyone?

If you have your display icon on your menu bar go to that and if you do not have it showing there go to system preferences. Either will do. Simply click on detect displays. presto!

OSX issue with an old iMac

Hi,
I have a 2004 G4 flat panel iMac and it came with OSX Jaguar. Then I upgraded it to OSX Panther. After a day of Panther, it did not boot up. I think a system file was moved. Then I got the instal disk for Tiger. That didn't work. It just stayed on the Apple logo and the loading sign forever. So then I got it to boot into OS9, which works, but most programs do not work with it. After about a month, my Mac did't boot up into OS9 even. And my iMac never had an AirPortExpress Card installed. What do I do?
Thanks in advance,
Bathinmud.

What computer did you use to post your message? Please do not use Impact font here again - it is unreadable.
I have had hangs with Tiger installs before. Often, but not always, you can power down and it is OK when you restart.
Do you have important data on the G4 which is not backed up elsewhere?
If not try the a clean install but be aware that all settings and data will be lost:
After the DVD or CD loads select your language and click the Continue button.
When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
In Disk Utility select your hard drive and erase it.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
After the process has completed quit Disk Utility and return to the installer.
Now complete the install.

Macbookpro noise issue on right side with heat

Hi, my 2014 macbook pro ratina display,13 inch, just finished a years warranty period, and suddenly from right side of the laptop, a noise starts (like a modem connecting or something burning kind a noise) with upper right corner more heated then the rest of the laptop, Can someone help out with the issue ?

Aha. I think I was thinking of the 15 inch. Thanks for the heads up.
It is not that simple. The late 2012 13" retina MBPs and the early 2013 13" retina MBPs have two fans installed. Starting with the late 2013 13" MBPs, only one fan was installed.

Retina Macbook Pro sudden OSX issues

Hello guys, my retina macbook pro is driving me insane....
The computer will -simply- not execute a lot of my instructions, orders, or it simply -lol- ignores me. (skynet much?)
Anyway, it really is bothering me and here is a rundown of issues I have -so far- experienced
a) No control over resolution. I keep changing the resolution to "best for retina" but when I reboot , the system just doesnt care and changes the resolution to "more space".
b) No control over login items. No matter what changes I make, removing entirely the programs using the "minus" icon (not just unticking the items), it never makes a change when I reboot the computer. It still lists all the items I removed.
c) Finder boots up every time the computer is on and with the applications folder poping up. I tried removing the finder.plist from the preferences but it doesnt matter the computer still pops up the applications folder when I boot up.
d) I cannot even change the desktop background and make the option stick after a reboot. I choose another desktop and everything seems alright, then I reboot, and it switches back to the one it is "stuck" with.
e) Iphoto needs to repair the library every time I open the application.... no matter what...
f) I noticed that the system and specifically the kernel task is taking up much more ram than before. With a fresh boot my computer normally had 6.20 GB of free Ram available and kernel took up about 700MB. Now when I boot, the free memory has droped to around 5.40GB free and kernel takes up about 1.20 GB
I tried reseting the PRAM and SMC but without success.
Any help will be really appreciated, I know all things must be connected to each other, there must be a single reason that causes all this mess, probably a preferences file or system file... anyone can help me because this really drives me insane and I really dont want to go through all this reinstalling ML thing....

I am logged in as admin. I deleted some preference files for the login and now I do have control over login items, yet the rest of the issues still persist.
I am repairing permissions and yet no problem has been found. Only an ACL thing that was repaired as it says.

OSX issues

Hi,
I've never been able to run Toplink 10.1.3 on OSX. I see the splash screen, then the "Oracle TopLink Workbench" window is displayed but it's TOTALLY empty (gray).... even the menu bar is missing. There is no error on the console. I have to Ctrl-C to exit (the red x icon of OSX doesn't work).
TopLink_11.1.1.0_070502_preview is a bit better.
I had to add quotes in the following line
JVM_ARGS="-Xmx128m -Dice.pilots.html4.ignoreNonGenericFonts=true"
to get rid of the error:
/Applications/Development/TopLink_11.1.1.0_070502_preview/bin/workbench.sh: line 5: -Dice.pilots.html4.ignoreNonGenericFonts=true: command not found
As the splash screen is replaced with the main window, the following error happens 4 times:

Hello hartfree,
> I installed OS X 10.4.3.
Was it an install disk or an update? If it was an update, you may have encountered an error in the download. You may want to re-download the combo and try again:
<a href:"http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1043combo.html">
Mac OS X Update 10.4.3 Combo
>I began to experience kernal panics one right after the other.
The problems you're experiencing could be any number of things.
1. It could happen with a bad installation of OS X. (an error in the installation disk, a glitch in the optical drive when installing, other unecessary peripherals attached to the computer via USB/Firewire...)
2. Hardware such as memory, cpu, graphics card, can all of a sudden go bad. (But, that doesn't seem to be the case here.)
>My suspicion is that the graphics card or something on the board is going.
Your graphics card is, to put it as gently as possible, old. But, it is well within the requirements of Tiger.
The only suggestion I have, when a kernal panic (or anything else unusual) happens, is to go to the Console (in /Applications/Utilities) and view the system log file. Sometimes, and sometimes not, there are clues that can indicate the source of the problem(s).

MacBookpro webcam issues

When I open Photobooth, an icon of a camera with a line through it shows up. So I guess for some reason the camera isn't turning on or something like that. I tried using the help option, but none of the suggestions - like closing other applications that use the camera - worked. I also couldn't find any way to turn the camera on and off; I'm not sure how it got turned off in the first place...
Does anyone have any ideas for how to fix this?
Thanks.

13" MacBookPro OSX 10.6.6 Bottom Shell has bump.

I have had my MacBookPro for almost two years. Just today, for the first time, I noticed a small bump, on the bottom shell of my machine. It is about 1 1/4" from the edge between the locking device and CD/DVD drive. I find it odd that I have never noticed it before, and it is there now. I take excellent care of my machin, the only wear it has received is that two of the rubber feet have fallen off. Everything is working fine and the DVD drive is working fine and I have never used the lock before. Not sure I should worry...
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Running OS 10.6.7 plus last Firefox before 4.0. Reluctant to move to 4.0 as it is still new.
This is a new problem, beginning in the last month or so for me, I think. While it seems much longer, I believe the delay is about 20 seconds, and it does happen every time Firefox launches.
Further, sometimes (do not yet see a pattern) well after launch, when attempting to navigate on a website...Firefox isn't paying attention. I think the interruption may be 20 seconds here, as well. Then all is well.
No magic living color pinwheel displayed by uncle Mac during either delay.
Did I mention table pounding frustration when on deadline?

MacBookPro boot issue after iTunes update

MackBook Pro showing disc utility after iTunes Upgrade. Instead of restart, I am seeing disc utility.I am not sure if my data is safe if I choose reinstall option. Does it reinstall OS without touching data?

Sorry for the late update.
The issue was with the McAfee encryption agent. If you have it on your MacBook Pro and by any chance you need to reinstall/ upgrade the OS, it will not allow it. I was stuck in the situation where it prevented any re-installation or roll back. The issue was solved only when I could get the HD decrypted by McAfee support and uninstall the agent through their experts. Only when the agent was removed, I could upgrade the OS.
Thank you Gnomish8 for your response.
Thanks,
