Memory stick not reading on MacBook Pro

My memory stick was working fine earlier, now it comes up "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." and doesn't give me the option to verify or first aid, why?! It's got loads of work on it I need

ray,
Have you checked within Device Manager for any 'yellow or red" flags?

To say THANK YOU, press the "thumbs up symbol" to render a KUDO. Please click Accept as Solution, if your problem is solved. You can render both Solution and KUDO.

    To gain Internet access for the MacBook Pro, you will either need your own Internet service provided by an ISP or access to another Wi-Fi network that has Internet service.
    Your MBP has a built-in wireless adapter, called an AirPort Extreme Card. This adapter is able to connect to just about any Wi-Fi network available today.
    If you opt to get your own Internet service, most ISPs will provide you as a minimum an Internet modem. Some also offer a wireless version of this device. For those that do not, you will also need an Internet router (wired or combination wired/wireless) in order for your MBP's wireless to connect.

  • HT1338 how to download adobe reader on macbook pro

    how to download adobe reader on macbook pro?

    First of all, I want you to know that Mac OS X already has the ability to open and read PDF files. You do it with the Preview application. Also, on the Mac Adobe Reader is the third most vulnerable application to security risks. That is due to exploit are delivered through PDF files.
    If you decide to download it you should still stick to using Preview to open PDF files and only use Adobe Reader in the few cases that Adobe Reader is absolutely required. Preview is not vulnerable to the same exploits as Adobe Reader because it does not have all the capabilities as Adobe Reader.
    To get Adobe Reader go to: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    Click on the download button. Once the download completes install the software.

  • Where do I find my "Notes" on my MacBook Pro ?  I have them setup in iCloud, not in my Gmail.  Thanks

    Where do I find my "Notes" on my MacBook Pro ?  I have them setup on iCloud, not on my Notes tab on Gmail.  I think they are in iTunes but, cannot remember where to  find my Notes. Thanks.

    Ok to clarify you don't NEED mountain lion.
    I will say its functionality with notes and other iOS functions is greatly improved in Mountain Lion (notification centre as another example).
    SO
    If you have Lion, your notes should appear in the Mail App. If my memory serves me correct they appear in your inbox like an email. Go to system preferences, then "mail, contacts & calenders", select your icloud account from the list and it should tell you which things you have switched on or off, ensure Notes is ticked to on
    Sorry i cant give more clarification because i've upgraded myself so cant go back in time and check, lol.

  • What is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

    what is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
              A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
              Not enough memory for your usage pattern
    Please note that if the cause is a memory leak, installing more memory will not help. That's likely if you already have more than 4 GB of memory. Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    These instructions are for OS X 10.9 and later. Some details may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
    When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
              View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
    Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, reset the printing system. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
    "Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

  • What is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro

    what is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro?
    Shift + U is not working
    how can i change shortcut key?

    I don't believe there is a keyboard shortcut available for that feature. But I believe if you click-select the topmost chapter, and Shift-click the bottommost chapter, it should select them all.
    Other shortcuts for books can be set up in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts in the Panel Menus product area. There are no default shortcuts in that area.

  • I can not boot my MacBook Pro. How do I get and save the data that is not backed up??

    I can not boot my MacBook Pro running on Lion 10.7.4. I pressed control, comment P and R keys and O got to the disk utility, then I tried to repair disk and it can not be repaired. I get a message that tells me to back up as much data as possible ?. But if I can not open the computer how can I save my data??
    I have a back up until 2 weeks ago on time machine. but the work of the last 2 weeks is extremely important how can I get it??
    If I use m time machine backup do I loose the additional data of the last two weeks!,
    Please help.. It's a huge amount of work that I have done and can not loose it

    If it were me, I'd get a new hard drive or SSD and put it in an external enclosure. Boot into the recovery partition, format the new drive (not the old one) and install the OS to it. Shut down the Mac, open it up, and swap the drives. You may be able to read your data from the old one externally if you're lucky. If you're very lucky you may be able to use Migration Assistant to move all your stuff to the new drive.
    Look at ifixit.com for the exact procedure to get to the drive on your model. If it's a unibody it's pretty simple.

  • After not using my macbook pro for 10 days, my wireless mouse no longer works. (I had turned the computer off). I've gone in to mouse preferences but the computer won't recoginize the mouse. It worked fine before the trip. Batteries were changed.

    After not using my macbook pro for 10 days, my wireless mouse no longer works. I had the computer turned off. I've changed the batteries, gone to universal preferences, mouse preferences but the computer won't recognize the mouse. Any suggestions?

    Got it. Thanks. I deleted the mouse (not an apple, but a logitech which has worked fine for me) and then re-discovered it and it's working. Appreciate the advice.

  • CD will not eject and MacBook Pro won't restart

    CD will not eject and MacBook Pro won't restart.

    Do a SMC reset, that hopefully should get you booting and while booting, hold the option/alt and trackpad button down at the same time. Once a row of icons appears and if the disk hasn't ejected via the trackpad method, then press the eject key on the keyboard until it does.
    Click the arrow to boot up OS X.

    If this doesn't work, then take the machine in for service.
