Multiple mac issues help!

So lately my macbook has been responding very slowly when I click links, windows, etc. But it only happens after i've used it for around 2 hours. It's not constant or anything it just randomly stops actively clicking I guess... I want to know if this could be connected to some battery issues i've had lately.
-here's where things get difficult-
Sometime last week I was using my macbook, it had been plugged in all day and it was plugged in as I was using it, then all of a sudden it shut off and my charger light went off. I turned the computer back on and it came on with the fans on full-blast and I had an X over my battery that said no batteries available. I tried trouble-shooting and restarted it but that did nothing, my battery lived long enough for me to back up my computer then it fully died. The next day I put the charger back in and it lit up again so I booted up the computer and this time it said battery needs service. I was ready to bring it in and then the next day the warning went away. So I never brought it in.
my mac is only 9 months old, it says the battery has gone though 251 cycles, all I really want to know is how screwed am I? Is there something seriously wrong with my computer?

Here is what I've got.
First off, you are using the built in trackpad, right? Not an external (bluetooth or wired) mouse?
Assuming that it is your trackpad mouse that you are using, you should run TechTool Deluxe (a free software that comes with apple care) or some other application that can scan your disk for bad blocks. Strange mouse behavior is one of the many possible symptoms of a hard drive with bad blocks. It makes sense that your hard drive might have bad blocks, since you're battery issue has been forcing the computer to turn off without shutting down. When your computer is forced to turn off abruptly, it can corrupt small units of storage on your hard drive (called blocks). If the corrupted block is of importance to your system, you might see strange mouse things.
If you have an external mouse, check it with another computer. Its not uncommon for the mechanical mechanism in mice to break.
9 months and 251 cycles is pretty remarkable in my opinion. How much have you been using this computer?

  • I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help!

    I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help! Any suggestions for fixing this?

    Did you ever get a solution to your problem? Because I am having the same problem. I was actually in the middle of using Word when the keyboard stopped working. But it works in other apps, including in Excel.
    Thing is that my laptop just got back from Apple for repairs and they replaced everything but the display - including the hard drive.
    So not only do I have plenty of hard drive space, but it should be virus and error free otherwise.
    I have only installed a few programs and redownloaded some of my files from places like Dropbox, but otherwise is essentially a new system.
    Oh - and it came with Yosemite, so I did not upgrade to Yosemite and still Word doesn't work.
    I've always had trouble getting Word to play nice with my Mac but that was also with the old, full hard drive.
    This is a fresh install. And since I lost all my files, I only had like 1 old file I have downloaded from email and accessed and was in the process of
    creating a new file when it crashed. I got no error, the keyboard just stopped working (to type). I also cannot even get Word > Preferences to even open,
    so it is completely unresponsive.
    I did a Google search and under the Microsoft communities two suggestions to that person were that there may be multiple copies installed -
    I have only the one - and that one is in the wrong place - again, I only have the one and it installed to the Hard drive (visible in Launchpad / Apps).
    Another suggestion was that there was some problem with the updates. I ran updates and they installed fine. That helper suggested that the user
    may have had different updates that worked for the other Office apps (Excel, PPT etc.) but not Word and that was at least part, if not all of his problem,
    but all my Office apps show the same update version 12.3.6, so that cannot be the issue with me.
    I've not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but as I got no errors on the original install or updates, I'm not sure if that would fix it.
    I've found that Mac just doesn't play nice with some programs at all.
    And even though I have a factory installed version of Yosemite on a new, fresh hard drive, even when I booted up, my iPhoto app (which is empty) crashed. I am not sure if my iPhone or iPad was charging at the time, but I don't think so. iPhoto that I still have not even used has crashed several more times since, most notably when plugging in my iPhone / iPad to charge, namely when I declined to upload photos (by default) to DropBox. That may not be related at all, but thus far seems the only other problem I have encountered until this Word problem.
    I'm on a MacBook Pro, Sept. 2009, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 factory installed from Apple repairs running Office: 2008 for Mac (Home and Student edition).
    Please advise if you found a resolution and what it was.
    Thanks

  • Backup multiple Macs to external HDD

    I have an iMac (OS X 10.8.2) with a new Seagate BackupPlus external HDD attached by thunderbolt.  The external HDD has 5 partitions (all Mac OS X Extended Journaled format). 4 partitions are dedicated back ups for 4 Macs (the iMac connected via thunderbolt to the external HDD, plus 3 MacBookAirs (MBA's)).  The 5th partition is just for storing random data (I realize TM won't back up the data on the same drive as the TM backups, but that's ok).
    Following the steps FAQ #22 on the great pondini site http://pondini.org/TM/22.html I was able to set up Time Machine to back up my iMac (with the external HDD physically attached) AND I was able to setup TM on my MacBookAir (also running OS X 10.8.2) to wirelessly back up to the external HDD attached to the iMac.
    I am now trying to do the same for wife and kids MBA's (i.e., get them to have TM back up wirelessly to the external HDD that is attached to the iMac on the same network). However, while I can get TM to backup my MBA, I can't get their to work, even though I followed the same steps on their "source" MBA's as I did on mine.  The other MBAs can see the external HDD (attached to the iMac) and even remotely read/write to it (which I did as a test).  TM on their MBA sees and lets me select the appropriate partition on the external HDD, but when I try to do a backup, after a few seconds TM stops running.  It may be worth noting I also have TM backing the MBAs (including wife and kids MBAs) wirelessly to a TimeCapsule too... and that works flawlessly (I am trying to get my MBAs backed up on both my TimeCapsule and an external HDD connected to the iMac, so I have two backups). 
    The error log from TimeMachine Buddy on my wife's MBA shows:
    Starting manual backup
    Attempting to mount network destination URL: afp://melaniebernitz@Bradley%E2%80%99s%20iMac._afpovertcp._tcp.local/Mel%20MBA% 20External%20Backup

    NAConnectToServerSync failed with error: 80 for url: afp://[email protected]/Mel%20MBA%20External%20Backup
    Backup failed with error: 19
    To try and fix, I have:
    -- rebooted both machines.
    --  ran "Verify Disk" on external HDD partition (verify disk finds no issues)
    -- checked file sharing on iMac (again, the MBA's can read and write to the external HDD connected to the iMac with no problems so it has read/write/share "access" to the external HDD)
    -- did full reset of Time Machine preference on my MBA per pondini.org/TM/A4.html
    -- on the MBA's that won't back up wirelessly to the external drive, I can still "see" and select the external HDD (connected to the iMac) in Time Machine
    -- tried running TM from different users on each MBA (including adminstrators, of course)
    -- have shut off and re-turned on Time Machine
    In case it helps diagnose the issue, here's the TimeMachine Buddy log for the my MBA (for which TM successfully completes the wireless backup to the external HDD on the iMac).

    So, to make a long story short, even though the external HDD partitions are mounted and can be read by all MBA's....
    -- My MBA has no problem backing up (via TM) to the external HDD physically attached to my iMac
    -- Other MBA's can wirelessy back up (via TM) to TimeCapsule on my network, but NOT to the external HDD on the iMac (even though they can remotely see/share files on it).
    All in all, I'm at a loss as to why it works for one MBA but not others (since I followed same steps to set up the MBA's for TM).
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    What Partition Map Scheme does it have? (click the top line for the drive in Disk Utility's sidebar -- it will be shown at the lower-right).  It should be GUID, but should work if it's APM (Apple Partition Map).  If it's MBR (Master Boot Record), a Windows setup and often the way externals come from the factory, that may be the problem.  I've never been sure of the details, but there's a message somewhere that says "not all partitions may be accessible" to Time Machine with MBR.  
    -- tried running TM from different users on each MBA (including adminstrators, of course)
    It doesn't matter what user does the setup, or even does a Back Up Now, since the actual backup runs with "root" privileges (permission to everything).  It sounds like you have the right Sharing setup on the iMac, but be sure each of those Macs is connecting as the right user on the iMac.
    I've not done this myself with multiple Macs (I don't have enough hardware); only one Mac backing-up to a shared drive on another.

    Looks like you've got some special characters in some names.  I realize two Macs seem to back up ok, but oddly enough, sometimes such characters in names are a problem -- they'll work fine sometimes, but not always.  See #C9 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    (I am trying to get my MBAs backed up on both my TimeCapsule and an external HDD connected to the iMac, so I have two backups).
    You might want to reconsider using Time Machine for both sets of backups.  It's prudent to want two separate backups in case one piece of hardware fails.  But what if there's a problem with Time Machine itself, on one (or more) of your Macs?   TM is pretty reliable, but no app is perfect.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #27 for details, and the green box there for some alternatives (some of those may not work over a network. CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync do -- I use CCC locally, in addition to TM, but not over a network).

  • Using a seagate external drive with multiple macs

    i got a 1TB seagate external hard drive for backup and transfer purposes... it had a little program to help set it up and i set it up for use with mac and pc ( only onther option was stricty this computer.) it works on my computer and a pc but when i tried transfering files from another older mac i have it showed that i could only read on that computer...
    how can i get it to work with multiple macs...?

    I have the oldest macbook (1.83. 2 gigs ram, 60 gig internal hard drive)
    I have all my logic content on my external maxtor firewire 400 drive (usb 2.0 is actually faster than firewire 400) and everything is fine. the good thing is if your external drive has 7200rpm, but the ones with 5600rpm should do as well.
    Once you drag your apple loops to logic from your external drive, logic will remember for the next visit. And when you are opening a project which is on the external drive , just find it with logic finder and all should be fine.

  • Time machine multiple macs sharing one HD via Wifi

    I need help with time machine app.
    I would like to use one external hd for multiple macs to backup with time machine.
    I read about different method, the one that I think is better for me is to sharing the HD on a network.
    I have one Imac and two macbook.
    What I did is to connect the HD to the Imac and than I shared the HD volume with sharing files.
    I create two accounts for the macbooks and then I connected them.
    So far so good.
    But I din't use this network configuartion for the first backup, what I did instead was to connects the different computers one by one with thunderbolt.
    Now I had to change the destination dirve from the old HD (connected via thunderbolt) and the "new" shared HD - actually is the same drive!
    I thought that the macbook time machine app just recognize the last backup and just makes a new one from that point.
    But it seems doing a new backup. (Last backup: none)
    It creates a new file Macbook of Alessandro.sparsebundle
    Any tips?
    thanks in advance

  • How do i sync iphone with multiple macs? and few questions

    Hi
    I would appreciate if anyone would help me.
    1. I would like to know how to sync my iphone with different macs. I have a macbook 13 and a macbook 15 and would like to use BOTH to be able to transfer data without losing them. (address, apps, photos and music)
    would like to use this feature if I were to be suddenly on a trip and a friend would like to share some of his files (audio, apps, photos..etc)
    2. is it possible to use internet tethering on multiple macs or example a "spontanious" mac? (ex. if I were suddenly to use internet through usb on a friends mac while we were on a trip but it were programmed on my mac at home)
    3. my internet tethering is only working on one mac which I usually use to sync everything... i tried just using tethering through usb on the other mac wihtout any sync but somehow it didnt work... usually i just plug and play and start using firefox... by automatic detection...
    4. is there also a way to copy files from iphone onto a mac which would not be one of my libraries?
    5. why cant i use iphone like the ipod as a disk use?
    I am aware that these things are somewhat possible because i have read quiet a few artivles but they are sadly enough not so current... any help appreciated.

    #1: As has been said, you can't get around it. An iPhone cannot be synched to more than one computer for any media content (it can be for contacts and calendar information, I believe).
    #4: You can transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store to another computer but only if you disallow synchronization and authorize that computer to your iTunes Store account. There are third-party utilities that can transfer non-iTunes Store content.
    #5: there is no disk mode in an iPhone and no way to enable one, at least not in the sense of disk mode in earlier iPods. There are third-party apps that allow some file transfer to and from an iPhone.
    I can't help with tethering questions.

  • Same Account on Multiple Macs?

    I am setting up a new Mac Mini to be used primarily as the "accounting computer". But it will also serve as a backup computer for the 3 users on my main Mac Pro when multiple users want on at the same time. So how do I handle the set-up of the new Mini? Should I create 3 identical users, with their same login names & passwords, on the 2nd Mac? i.e. So when I need to get on to check email, but my main puter is in use by another user, I can jump on the Mini & have updated access to my email??? Secondly, how do I keep Mail, Calendar, etc in sync on both machines?

    jdehnert wrote:
    My best suggestion would be to set your people up on one of the computers and have then share their home directories with password protection. You may want to do this on whichever system has more hard drive space. Then set them up again on the alternate system and make sure that they can connect to the main system to access their home directories. If you can train and/or convince your users to keep all of their files on the home directory space that resides on the main system, it could work.
    This is more along the lines of what I had in mind. The use on the alt computer will only be to do a quick email check... I am in the process of setting all email accounts up as IMAPs... or internet surfing, etc. Any tasks that involve files from the main box will have to be accessed through sharing, then saved back to their account on that main puter... and this will be on occasion at most. And now that I've said all this, I can think of several instances where I've needed to interrupt someone because I needed to check my calendar... have yet to use iSync - does something like this allow me to sync my iCal to another computer?
    So how should I handle the users on the 2nd Mac? Should I set up all the accounts there too... even if it might be for occasional use? And if I'm setting up individual accts, can I set up accts with the same login names & PW's on multiple Macs that are networked, without issue?
    It just dawned on me that if someone is surfing the internet on the alt box, they might need their favs over there... although I'm the only user w/an extensive favs list. Truth be told, my network is a home business network. So far, the only other users on the main Mac are my kids... the network serves for home biz/personal tasks. One of my kids is a college student who uses the computer for all basic tasks plus web design & Photoshopping. Point is, I'm just looking for the best, simple solution.

  • How to do a NAT to multiple MACs via the same public IP

    Heay y'all,
    I have multiple MACs that I need to admin via the same public IP.
    I'm trying to activate the NAT function on my airport 802.11n, but I can only register 1 internal IP address for the same port number.
    Example:
    public UDP port: 3283, 5900
    public TCP port: 3283, 5900
    Private IP Address: 10.0.1.201
    Private UDP port: 3283, 5900
    Private TCP port: 3283, 5900
    Now if I try to do the same thing for another private address, I get a a conflict... (The Port mapping entry you have entered already exists.)
    What I find wired is that:
    a) why the private address starts at xxx.xxx.xxx.201
    b) why can't I apply the same rule for multiple IPs (e.g. xxx.xxx.xxx.202 and xxx.xxx.xxx.203)
    c) I have also, an airport 802.11g and I could configure the NAT table as I wanted.
    Am I missing something?
    Are three any wild-cards that would cover all internal IP addresses?
    PS! I edited my ".baseconfig" file via "textedit" and added a additional private IP address, in the NAT section... I have not gotten any errors, when I load the file in to the base station. but then again I can't edit the IP field via the airport admin tool, and I have not been able to test this workaround.
    looking forward to you comments.

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for the help....
    I think i found an alternative solution...
    I'll try useing a dedicated internal IP address for my adminwork... then I'll get the user to change from the DHCP allocated IP address to the dedicated one... this way same ports and IP address used for all of the machines.
    I'll try this method... if it does not work then I have to use your suggestions... but thanks for your help and response.

  • Can a sparsebundle be shared by multiple Macs?

    I have an external USB drive connected to my Airport Extreme base station. On this external USB drive I have a disk image (sparsebundle) that I would like to make available to multiple Macs on my network. Is it possible for each of these Macs to simultaneously mount the sparsebundle image?
    I performed a quick test with 2 Macs. The first Mac opened the image but on the second Mac I received the Warning: "Resource temporarily unavailable".
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Yes, exactly. It'll work.
    The con is, you're doubling up on network usage. Mac A is accessing the sparsebundle over the network. Mac B is accessing the mounted sparsebundle through Mac A. Every read and write to the volume is going over the network to Mac A, then over the network again to the Airport. So if you're dealing with large files, then performance will be about half of what it could be. You won't notice much if everything is on a wired network, but if both Macs are accessing the Airport over wifi, then you'll see it get sluggish.
    If you really need to do this regularly, it would be cleaner to plug the USB device directly into Mac A.

  • Automatic refresh does not work - multiple macs, ICAL versions, OS versions

    Hey.
    I have a problem that I can't fix and I couldn't find any suitable input for.
    We use ICAL on multiple macs (some of them with differing IOS and ICAL versions installed) and share differing calendar subscriptions.
    So far so good.
    Unfortunately the automatic refresh doesn't work on all macs. It seems like it depends on the IOS- or ICAL- Version installed, whether the automatic refresh works or not.
    For example:
    My friend creates an appointment on a shared calendar.
    She uses MAC OS X 10.6.8 and ICAL 4.0.4.
    I use MAC OS X 10.8.5 and ICAL 6.0.
    We both activated the automatic refresh option in our account informations and set the time interval on 5 minutes.
    After 5 minutes the calendar automatically refreshes and I can see her appointment.
    Unfortunately it doesn't work the other way around. When I create an appointment, she has to manually force ICAL to refresh in order to see the entry.
    Any help? Any suggestions? We would really appreciate it.
    Many thanks in advance!

  • My dv5 laptop has an internal "typing" noise/multiple security issues

    I'm not sure if this is a problem, but since I've had all kinds of issues with this particular model (the first Pavilion we were sent by HP had to be returned because the engineers finally deemed it unfixable), I thought I'd ask.  I'm a little nervous about a sound that makes me think of little gremlins inside the unit typing away.  It's not constant, but I'm wondering if that's normal and what the noise is. 
    Another problem is that periodically I'll get a message about the computer having "multiple security issues".  I then do a virus scan, which turns out fine, so I don't know what it means. 

    The Intel chipset issue is not at all related for your Notebook. Its quite unfortunate you are facing this problem as I would say its a coincidence that even your second hard drive went bad so soon.
    Time for you to RMA the new hard drive.

  • E4200 v2 - Uses multiple MAC addresses for the same device

    This unit seems pretty good at first but on looking at the Web interface I noticed that it was using multiple mac addresses for the same device and showing devices on the lan on the Wireless side and other odd things.
    After a week of running it the home server network started to get erratic, it would seem to all point to dns and dhcp issues in the router.
    Seems the V1 had the same issues that they did not fix on this.
    The Cisco connect software shows 5 devices the Web based utility shows 3??.
    Its pretty bad that they charge nearly $200 and cannot be bothered to finish the unit or address the issues that were in V1.

    I am afraid I didn't get the clear picture of the issue mentioned in the post. Could you please elaborate a little bit? If you connect a device/computer wired and then later you connect it wirelessly. It is obvious that you would get to see two different MAC addresses for the same device, one for the LAN adaptor and other one for WLAN adaptor. If that is what you are referring to?
    Secondly, may I  know, what issues did you face with DNS and DHCP in the router? Is it not able to resolve the DNS or something else or DHCP is not sending IP address to the clients?

    Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
    I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved

  • Multiple Macs on internal network?

    I have iChat video working from an internal mac to and external mac, using nat and opening ports. How would you go about having two macs on the internal network connect to and external mac using iChat video? Since the port forwarding points everything to a single IP. I don't know how to have it open the ports to point to multiple macs. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Jason,
    You can't port forward the same ports to more then one IP. What router are using using? If you are using an airport extreme you shouldn't have to setup any port forwarding for iChat to work.
    This could help you out too:
