Mackbook pro 2012 in closed-clamshell bugs periodically, reducing color bitrate on the external eizo screen! But, if I let im open, that bug never happens!

Hi everybody.
When I'm working on my MacBook Pro mid 2012, with Mavericks OS 10.9.5, in a closed-clamshell setup, I got color rendition bugs all the time. Those bugs reduce the color bit rate, making it impossible to work! But, if I'm using it almost closed with the luminosity dimmed to of, everything runs fine, all the time!
Somebody have suggestions?
(I'm connected via thunderbolt port, with a Thunderbolt---->DVi converter.
Thank you.
Bruno

Hi Bruno Inácio,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that while connected to an external monitor, with a closed MacBook lid, the display on your external monitor has random color anomalies. In this situation, I would recommend checking your connections, resetting the system, and resetting the resolution. These steps can be found in the attached article.

The mail app on my Mac laptop will not open. This began happening after an upgrade during which "Security UPdate 2012-004" was installed. My mail app has a new icon, and I think i trashed the old program (trying to follow directions). Suggest a fix?

How is your external drive formatted? Use Disk Utility to check the volume format. If it is NTFS, you will need to reformat the HDD as exFAT in order to retain universal compatibility (RW to it on both Mac and Windows).

My 15in. macBook pro display won't turn on. it stays black. i hear the hard drive working but the display won't show anything :( Is there a way 2 reboot my laptop 2 try

My 15in. Macbook Pro's monitor will not turn on anymore. when i press the power button to turn it on, the hard drive and everything but the monitor turns on. it is just a black screen and it doesnt even look like its trying to turn on . Can anyone tell me how to reset or reboot my laptop? I wanna try to see if that will take care of the issue before i drive an hour to the Apple store and have to pay xxx amount of $$$s for thm to tell me i need a new laptop. Please HELP!!!

try a reset first. Shut down, unplug for at least 15 seconds then plug and wait 5 seconds and restart.

Macbook pro (2012) was swapped for a new one and my empty hard rive was swapped, but now my start up time has doubled?

I bought a Macbook 2 weeks ago, in the first week one of the keys broke off so I went to the Apple store and they replaced the whole thing for me. I was asked if I wanted to swap the hard drive for my old one and I said yes just to save myself time, even though my hardrive is completely empty- I havent downloaded any programs, saved any pictures etc.
Now my start up time on this new Macbook has pretty much doubled - its a blank lit-up screen for a long time before the apple and log in bar appears - has any one else had this problem? This didn't happen on my old one!

first - go to system preferences - startup disk and select your hard drive as the startup drive....restart your macbook....
if that doesn't do it, open disk utility and verify your disk permissions - repair them if errors are found....once the repair is done, restart your macbook...
see if the above sorts outs your issues....
good luck

HT1751 How do I move my entire iTunes library from my iomega hard drive to my new Mac Book Pro? I no longer want to keep my music on the external drive.

Because of a lack of enough memory on my old Mac Book, I put all my music on an external hard drive. Now that I have a new Mac Book Pro with lots of memory, I want to move the music onto this new computer but I haven't been able to yet. I tried the migration assistant but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

I may sound like a real rookie here, but on my new MacBook Air there isn't a "Pictures" folder under "Users/kendallwilson" like there used to be on my old MacBook Pro (Early 2011). I'm still working out the new software on my MB Air, so where exactly should I open this new window to start following the steps you just provided me.
Thanks again!

Logic Pro 7 Crashes Upon Opening...Never Happened In 2 Years...

Hi There everyone.
I have a problem with Logic Pro 7 (latest updated version 7.2.3) at the moment.
Since I Bought it 2 Years Ago, Everything has been fine, well almost. But I have never had this happen before:
When I open logic,9 times out of 10 it Freezes as soon as the arrange window is shown.
An Error Message From Apple comes up Saying The Application Logic Pro Has Quit Unexpectedly, or something like that.
The Other 1 Time Out Of 10, The Program itself displays a message saying The Preferences have not loaded properly, please do not save them or they will be incomplete...
For this 1 time out of 10, I can use logic to do my work.
But I cant Understand whats happened to cause this problem and would obviously like to be able to use My Sequencer
When I Click Report This Error To Apple, I can Look at a list in a text box of what seems to be commands/checks logic has performed as it opens...
The last thing on the list is my audio interface...
P.S. I Have already reinstalled Logic and it hasnt made a difference!
ANY Ideas??? id really appreciate it if somebody can help me resolve this issue!
sorry for the huge post, i know its longvwinded but i thought id make everything clear...
peace.

I'm having the same problem with Logic Pro 8. Doesn't open at all... just crashes and pops up a message that it unexpectedly quit. I did a software update the other day and I think there was one for Logic.
I went through those suggestions and none helped. the crash log looks like this... don't know what to look for:

My MacBook Pro is full of commercials or a virus. Some of the words on screen gets green and if there are images on screen they turn into commercials. Sites may jump all by them selves, what is going on?

What have I done to my computer? Is this fixable?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.

I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives. I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC. Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files. An help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

My macbook pro retina's right speaker is not playing and sound but my left one is, is that supposed to happen?

This is the first Retina before the new one came out, it's the 13". When I play a video, sound is only coming out of the left side, is that supposed to happen or is both the speakers supposed to work and play at the same time? Thanks

Unless that is the way it was recorded, you should hear from both speakers.
Try going to system preferences/sound, output tab and make sure the balance slider is set to the center.
If still no joy try a pram reset:
Power off, power back on holding the following keys:
OPTION COMMAND P R
Continue to hold these keys till yu hear the start chime 2 times , then release, reboot.
If still no joy and your machine is less than 1 year (an addtional 2 years if you purchased AppleCare) bring it in for a diagnosis, you are still under warranty, andthey should repair it as long it is not due to accidental damage, or liquid damage.
If you are ot of warranty, you can still bring it in, and the disgnosis will will be free, they will then give you your options.
Hope this helps

My MB pro doesn't recognize any start up discs. I have the flashing question mark, but when I press option/alt, I'm only prompted to start the internet recovery. Afterwards the Mac OS X Utilities pops up, but there's no start up disc?

Hello, sullivja.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

My MacBook Pro keeps coming up with the Reset Password Screen and won't let me access my computer!

When it turns on it comes up with the reset password screen, I complete the reset password and press restart but my computer doesn't restart and for a while doesn't turn on at all! After at least 10min it turns on and comes up with the same Reset password screen.
My Mac is up to date in OSX
Please help me! I need it for my homework!

Hi Linda Loo Loo,
If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

MBP in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display

I want to use my Macbook Pro Unibody in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display
And I want to know if, the heat will damage the lcd of m macbookpro.
I want to buy a holder
http://twelvesouth.com/products/bookarc/
but i still have doubts about it the temperature and the Screen.
Thanks..

Apple says closed clamshell mode is a valid way to operate a Mac notebook, so that should be assurance enough. I don't know where the notion comes from that non-operating LCD screens can be damaged by heat. It would take a lot of heat to do damage. Way more than can be supplied by the computer itself.

Mackbook pro 2012 in closed-clamshell bugs periodically, reducing color bitrate on the external eizo screen! But, if I let im open, that bug never happens!
