May Macbook pro vs June

Hey, is there any difference in a macbook pro from May 2009 vs. one from June? I don't keep up with new releases so I'm not too certain.

I think what I'm going to do is refer you to an articles and a bench mark test that go over the differences.

  • I have usb driver in may macbook pro 15 retina. When I installed windows 7 and try to download windows support into a CD, boot camp always said it couldn't find my usb driver.

    I have usb driver in may macbook pro 15 retina. When I installed windows 7 and try to download windows support into a CD, boot camp always said it couldn't find my usb driver. My mac version is 10.8.3

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Install the Windows support software from the USB drive. Note that Boot Camp Assistant, in OS X 10.8.3, doesn't support the option to burn the Windows support software into a disc.
    Instead, you can try a different thing. Start in Windows and download the Windows support software in it > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638 Then, decompress the file and run the Boot Camp drivers installer.
    If you can't access to the Internet in Windows, start in OS X and download the Windows support software from the same link. Decompress the file, right-click the folder which will show up after decompressing the file and select "Burn". Finally, start in Windows and install the Boot Camp drivers

  • How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
    One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
    The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
    I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
    Good luck,

  • Flickering Screen on my Macbook Pro Build June 2012

    Hi.
    i have a macbook pro build june 2012, not a retina display.
    i have also changed the Opitical Drive for another SSD so i have two SSD's in the macbook pro.
    i have a video of the problem of which i can show if need be.
    the problem is the bottom half of the screen flickers, it does not do it all the time but when it does it does it is for a long time! which is most annoying!
    any solutions to fix this problem?
    is it a loose connection? is it a graphics card issue? is it a motherboard issue?
    anyone had any experience of this and what you did to fix it? and how much it cost?
    thanks.

    Your best option is a genius bar appointment.  Have the video for the technician to view if the MBP is behaving normally for him.
    This sounds like a hardware issue without a software solution.
    Ciao.

  • Trackpad issues on Macbook Pro, new June 2009

    I have been unable to resolve a trackpad issue that began this afternoon on my Macbook Pro. The computer was new in June. I was playing an online computer game, and it seemed that drag was locked on even though I hadn't changed any settings. Movements of the mouse dragged the window. The drag would not release with 1 click, 2 finger click etc. When I tried typing, the letters selected and replaced as soon as I typed new ones. After several restarts with the same behavior occurring, I reloaded the Snow Leopard 10.6 OS. I originally installed it about 2 weeks ago, and it has been working fine until now. After the reinstallation, the trackpad will not register most clicks of the trackpad. It will register taps, but it refuses to let the user click and drag. I have Microsoft Vista installed in Boot Camp and the trackpad is operating with the same glitches on boot camp. Clicks of the trackpad do not register most of the time. If they do, I have to click very hard, and even then it doesn't always work.

    Be paticent.
    You can try a SMC reset:

    Follow the directions that apply to your machine regarding battery, remove or don't remove yourself.
    Try with a USB mouse in the mean time.

  • Where do I change the first name of the city I put in the address field of my MacBook Pro in June 2009?

    When I finally got my MacBook Pro 15 in June 2009 I tore it open and began hastily setting it up. In my haste, I accidently chose a town or zipcode town 20 miles north of me as to where I live. Unfortunately, when there are specials in that area, or something is happening that I might otherwise be interested in...I am not because a 20 mile drive here seems like an eternity. Can someone tell me how to change the city in the original set-up and where it is stored so that I might change it to reflect my true city.
    Thank you,
    Jim

    You can see number of charging cycles in System Profiler , under Power.
    In regards to your battery/charger issues one thing - try to switch your computer off, take the battery out, and hold power button for 5 (10, just for a sake of it seconds.
    Then put battery back in, and try to charge it/power it up. It's amazing how many issues can this solve...
    Let us know!

  • I just bought a new MacBook Pro (17") June 1

    and today, June 5, new models are out.
    Is there anyway I can return/exchange this for the new model (I bought it at an Apple store)? I would have preferred a 1920x1200 screen had it been available at the time - had no idea a new version was on the way.
    Other than the 1920 LCD, am I missing out on much? 2.33-2.4 ghz is no biggy, same 2gb ram, same HD.. is a Geforce 8600 much better than the Radeon 1600 I have currently (both have 256mb)?

    I also purchased this weekend the "older" model and I'm dissapointed. The vendor should have informed me that a new model was released a few days later. I have sent a mail this evening asking to exchange to the new model that seems more powerfull and ... cheaper.
    It's my first Mac, not a good start.
    I still have faith in Apple and I hope we both can exchange our old "model"

  • I bought my macbook pro in june from singapore, am I entitled to the free lion upgrade?

    I have tried the link to register http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ but it seems to only accept US users. Am I entitled to the upgrade since I bought my macbook pro from singapore?

    The Mid-2007 model didn't come out until June 2007, so you must have bought an earlier model. It won't run Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x), but it might run Lion (10.7.x) if you can get hold of a copy, depending on which earlier model it is.
    Lion requires at least a Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The first MacBook Pros came out in January 2006, but they had "Core Duo" processors (no "2"). The Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros came out in October 2006. You could have bought either in March 2007.

  • Issue with camera it says "there is no connected camera" in may macbook pro

    issue with camera it says "there is no connected camera" in may macbook pro

    I got that error from PhotoBooth, no connected camera.
    After messing around with all the usual suggestions (reset PRAM, repair permissions, etc.), I tried plugging in an external USB camera (happened to be a ProScope) and - for no apparent reason - the internal iSight camera sprang to life and has been working fine ever since.
    Worth a try - any USB camera should do it.

  • Macbook Pro 13 (June 2011) and Sony Bravia connectivity using HDMI port.

    Hi,
    I have searched many forums and posts here and there, but no where got the perfect solution, also most of the places people are misxing the problems with other problems.
    My Problem: I am not able to see even Sovy TV in my MBP display page, and hence not able to connect to Sony Bravia to my MBP.
    What I am using: Macbok pro 13 June 2011, Lion 10.7.2, Sony Bravia 40EX550, DVI Mini Adaptor for Mac (at one side DVI male connector and other side female HDMI connector) and one HDMI cable (the cable which comes with my DTH provider both ends are for Male HDMI pin)
    I do not think i would require anything more in this.
    Now after connecting with Adaptor to my MBP i connected the other end to HDMI cable which was already connected to HD TV HDMI port (there are 4 ports and i tried all the ports)
    When i opened the System Pref -> Displays I got below screen
    Here in above screen I clicked on Detect Displays but nothing happens, actually it should detect the Sony Tv and there on I sohuld do some settings.
    Please any one can help on that. Sorry for this repeated kind of problem , but I have searched in many forums and here on discussion.apple.com also , but evywhere people are mixing 2 different problem into one, some people are not getting the display and few of them not event getting the detection of the HDTV. So I posted here for the later one.

    Right now your MBP is not recognizing the TV.  You should get a display in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS similar to this.  Note the 'Arrangement option in the menu bar.  Your connections are bad or you have a faulty cable and/or adapter.
    I assume you are using a MINI DISPLAY PORT/HDMI adapter, not a DVI adapter.
    Ciao.

  • May macbook pro with retina display now tells me 6 hours remaining when 100% charged, when i first bought it it used to tell me 8 hours left.. help?

    when i first bought my macbook pro with retina it used to tell me 8 hours left when it was 100% charged, now it tells me 6 hours left.. help?

    This is a Fault of the newer Mac's Power management scheme. There is a LONG Thread on it somewhere on this forum.
    Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then let it up. Then wait a few seconds and press it again. The system should start back up. If it doesn't then you have some type of hardware problem and you need to take it to Apple to be fixed or replaced.

  • Macbook pro 13" june 2009 fan rpm remains at 2000 rpm when temp is 85c

    Hi,
    I've just bought a new macbook pro 13 inch and updated software vis software update.
    I've noticed that the fan rpm went to 2700 rpm on every boot but
    after a few minutes it goes down to 2000 no matter the temperature is
    I'm using iStatPro to see the temp and fan
    I've tried open youtube videos to raise the temperature to 71 but the fan remains the same at 2000
    Please advise.
    Thank you

    Thank you for the info
    I've just tried resetting the SMC but no luck.
    since this is my first mac computer so I'm not sure if this is normal or not
    after an investigation with different scenarios of work load I found that
    room temp : 27c
    cold boot : cpu 45c
    : fan 2000 / 2700 rpm
    warm boot : cpu 58c
    : fan 2000 / 2700 rpm
    running parallels
    with windows 7
    and visual studio : cpu 75c
    : fan 2000 rpm
    The fan did kick in to 3500 rpm once the temp is 85c
    I'm not sure if this is normal or not since my Dell M1330 xps
    which running vista and visual studio shows only
    cpu: 58c
    fan: 3000rpm
    Thank you
    I'm not thinking about using SMC fan control to set the default to 3000 rpm
    and use it only when I work on Windows but not sure if the program will damage
    my new baby or not
    Thank you

  • I got a macbook pro before june 11, does it have all the new updates?

    Does anyone know if the updates announced at WWDC are present on my new Macbook pro?
    Thanks!

    Yes, your machine is capable of running it once it has been released.
    When 10.8 comes out there should be a link to get the update free of charge as you just bought the machine. You normally have to fill in a few things like the serial number and date of purchase and then i'm guessing they will give you a redemption code for mountain lion on the app store.

  • How can i make factory reset to may macbook pro

    hey, how can i make factory reset to my macbook pro

    Throw away any files which may contain sensitive data and securely empty the Trash.
    If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert its original disk and restart the computer with the C key held down.
    If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down.
    Use the Disk Utility to erase the partition with Mac OS X installed, and then install a new OS onto it. If you used a disk and are going to sell or give away the computer, include the disk with it.
