  • Macbook pro has no sound, any ideas on the cause?

    My macbook pro crashed while watching a video and since then has not had any sound coming from the speakers, although it did emit the startup sound when I restarted it.

    One of these steps may help.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

  • Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?

    Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?
    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"
    Offered solution doesn't work:
    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    I can't download photographs from my iphone or my digital camera.
    Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?
    There is a possibility that when I went to update applications that I started to install Mavericks which I then interrupted and cancelled. I am not definite that this caused this problem but it was at about the same time as when this problem started.
    Many thanks,
    Ed

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • MacBook Pro '11 "Stops Charging" as soon as iMovie Exports Video.

    MacBook Pro '11 stops charging as soon as you start exporting video from iMovie. A video demonstration in the link explains the phenomena.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnpB5G2pgMI

    Respectfully, I disagree with your claim that nothing is wrong.
    While I understand the behavior is by design, most users - myself included, believe that when the laptop is plugged in, it's charging and can operate indefinitely as long as it's plugged in. Instead, a Macbook will, in certain circumstances, shut down completely if under heavy load for too long. Heavy load isn't just rendering complex 3D designs or transcoding HD video - things many users will never do - but it does include activities as seemingly trivial as playing videogames or watching Netflix where playing for too long when the battery is significantly less than full exposes the user to a very possible shut down.
    Just this evening, my MacBook Pro (2011) nearly died while transcoding video in Final Cut Pro - while it was plugged in. This is a real problem for a pro user on the road. Simply being plugged in is not enough when historically it has been.
    Again, I understand that the MacBooks exhibit this behavior by design, but it is a design that is counter to most people's experience of electronics.
    Rather than have this simply be "the way it's designed," how about Apple consider providing an option that reduces the maximum system load to a lower threshold that will allow for effectively indefinite runtimes (keeping in mind engineering concerns like heat dissipation)? I'd be willing to deal with lower clock speeds (and the resulting lengthier processing times) in certain scenarios of my choosing if it means my project won't be exposed to an unwanted shut down like it nearly did tonight. This is feedback I intend to submit to Apple after tonight's episode.
    While I'm no longer concerned that something's wrong with my MacBook Pro, I don't believe the current "normal" behavior is good enough for a $2,000+ laptop for professionals.

    Not sure what other tests they could run for me. I've pretty much run all the tests I can using Drive Genius and Tech Tool Pro 5. Is there anything they use that I don't know about??

  • Elements 11 on macbook pro has stopped working and i can't re-install as its no longer available?

    Elements 11 on macbook pro has stopped working and i can't re-install as its no longer available?

    Further info:
    Running on a macbook pro.
    Purchased through the apple app store.
    Worked fine prior to mavricks update.
    I have read where others have had this issue, the general response has been that they have had no support from adobe in resolving the problem. One guy said he managed to get issued a new download of the softwear that works fine with mavricks.
    so there is a fix avalible but for some reason its not been a general update for all customers with premier elements 11?

  • My macbook pro has stopped detecting my wi fi printer. What has gone wrong?

    my macbook pro has stopped detecting my wi fi printer. What has gone wrong? 

    Bad RAM. Reseat it and see if that clears it up. If not then that need to be replace or the actual RAM sockets have gone bad.

    Hi sdennisonta,
    If you are having an issue with charging your MacBook Pro, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    Mac notebooks: All about batteries - Apple Support
    If the battery appears to be working correctly you may want to see if the issue lies with your power adapter. Use the steps in this article -

  • I updated to ios 7 and now the battery does not stop charging any ideas, or have to wait for update? thanks

    To show the battery percentage used go to settings
    from there click general scroll to usage and select
    scroll to bottom of page for battery usage select on.
    This will show the icon battery and the percent numbers on the top right.
    When phone is connected to an outlet sometimes it does not always show complete charge. I do not understand why but it is what it is.
    FYI I sent reply to you not to deggie. You can have your own satisfaction to reply direct.

  • Macbook Pro has been charging for hours but still on 3% battery?

  • Can nyone tell about MBP exchange policy as my new MacBook pro has stopped working

I have sent it for repair but they didn't provide me by case or repair I'd. Now they say there's some issue with hard disk or logic board ....I didnt expect this. I hav used dell hp Lenovo but apple is the worst coz with in 20 days it has stopped working.

  • My MacBook Pro has stopped recognizing SD cards

    I've used an SD card in the past to transfer photos to MacBook Pro, and it worked just fine.  But now when I insert the card it doesn't show up in iphoto or in finder.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    Restart the computer and/or do a PRAM zap.
