My computer and devices used to sync, now the Macbook Pro won't ideas?

My Macbook Pro, iPhone and iPad used to all sync. The iPhone and iPad are still talking but the Pro is sending info but not receiving it.  What is wrond?

I need to work on my computer now... and the store is closed, that is why I am using this site to see if someone has a quick solution.
Why in the world Mac makes a computer with a battery that is not easy to pull out or rest???. Should I unscrew the bottom cover and try to remove the battery? Is there a reset button?
I am hating Mac now... I have never has so many problems with a computer and few solutions at hand... it seems that this is a common problem but it has been delete from the forums in the Mac site...
What is going on???

  • I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and now my MacBook Pro won't start up.

    I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and moved the system.kext and two others to my desktop and deleted the originals and now the MacBook Pro won't start up. All I get at start up is the apple icon then a bunch of text shows up part of which says Mac OS version: not yet set. then the apple icon turns into the power icon and tells me to turn off the computer. I've tried reinstalling from the install DVD by holding down option when powering on and selecting the install DVD and it just goes to a white screen with the apple icon and stays like that. I didn't have the disk utility on my Mac before this happened because I deleted it to make room on my computer a while ago so I'm not sure if that's why it won't load the install DVD but anyone who knows the solution to this with out going to get it repaired would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Never mind my dad just found the original install DVD and that worked. Before I was using an install disc that Apple sent me for another issue I was having, but thanks for replying so quickly and trying to help on this Thanksgiving day!!!

    Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

  • Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud?

    Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?

    If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
    And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
    To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
    It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud.

Now the MacBook Pro only works at home on aHard wire connection. I have an additional 9 devices on the same network, allare functioning properly. The Air connection works fine at any other Networksout side the Home connection. I did a PRAM reset, deleted the Network profileand rebuilt in System Preferences. Still unable to connect wireless on Homenetwork. Any Ideas?

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • How to set up Yosemite 10.10.1 to print and scan using CANON PIXMA MP780 (on MacBook Pro). Thanks. Bozdogan

    How to set up Yosemite 10.10.1 to print and scan using CANON PIXMA MP780 on MacBook Pro (Pre-Yosemite operating system OS X10.6.8)?
    Yosemite 10.10.1 doesn't seem to support MP780. Also, CANON doesn't have a driver for Yosemite 10.10.1 for its MP 780 series.
    Thanks. Bozdogan  (at [email protected])

    I believe you should be able to print wirelessly using your MBP and printer. However, you will want to visit the Canon home site and download the current drivers and firmware for your printer. Once you've done this, I hope you'll post back with your results.

    You're going to need both drivers and firmware.

  • Installed Yosemite...now my MacBook pro won't start up. Keep showing "Kernel Panic!" HELP!

    installed Yosemite and now my MacBook pro won't start up. Keeps showing "kernel panic"
    PLEASE HELP ME!

    If you can't start up and log in in the usual way, try in safe mode.
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Log in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. If you have only one account, you are the administrator.
    ☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode.
    If you're able to log in, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.

  • Take Image Of Computer And Load It Onto A Brand New MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    I just purchased a MacBook Pro 13". I currently have a MacBook original (White Shell with Snow Leopard) which I want to mirror completely over to the new MacBook Pro.
    So what I want is to completely erase (format) the new MacBook Pro and then load a complete mirror image of my current MacBook original on the new computer.
    I bought a firewire cable to connect to the two and that works, but what software do I use to make the image of the MacBook original? Then how do I earse (format) the MacBook Pro and load the image onto it.
    Thanks a lo!

    first make sure the OS on the old one will work with the new one.
    put the old one in "target mode" and select it as a startup drive on the new one in System Preferences, then restart.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    if it boots your new one, check if all applications work properly.
    if it's working, restart the new one from the OS install disc, got to Disk Utility and use Restore feature - drag the source drive (will have a FireWire icon) to the "source" bar and destination drive to the "destination" bar; there is an option to "erase destination."
    be very careful not mix up the drives though or your data will be lost.
    Restore in Disc Utility makes exact clone of the source drive
    after it's finished, make sure the new one works and everything was transferred before doing anything else.
    to install the new OS to the old one you'd need compatible install DVD, then select "erase and install" to put a new OS on it.
    try at your own risk.

  • I installed my new iMac with my Macbook Pro 2008 backup and created a network with the iMac and now the Macbook Pro cannot get internet.

    I installed my new iMac with my Macbook Pro 2008 back up.  I created a iMac network with Airport extreme, but now my Macbook Pro cannot get internet.  any ideas on why or what to do about it.

    Hello 1BillyMac,
    It seems you have a network conflict that isn't allowing your MacBook Pro to connect to the internet. This may be caused by both computers sharing identical network settings. You may want to consider creating a new network location on your MacBook Pro to assign new network settings. The following article will instruct you on how to do that:
    OS X Yosemite: Add a network location
    A network location is a group of network settings
    A network location is a group of network settings for your various network services (Ethernet or Wi-Fi for example).
    If you often change network settings, you may find switching between locations quicker and easier than repeatedly modifying individual groups of settings. 
    For example, you might want to make a location for “home,” where you connect to the Internet with a telephone modem, and a location for “office,” where you connect to your company network and the Internet using Ethernet or AirPort. 
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Network.
    Click the Location pop-up menu, choose Edit Locations, then click Add . 
    Enter a name for the location, then click Done.
    Enter settings for each network connection service you want to use in that location.
    After you create your locations, you can switch all of your network settings by clicking the Location pop-up menu and choosing a different location.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Kernel panic and now my MacBook Pro won't boot

    My MacBook Pro had been acting a little strange for a while - sometimes applications like Final Cut Express and iTunes would "unexpectedly quit" when I tried to open them and wouldn't work until after a restart. Now, the screen went dim and I got the "you need to restart your computer" message. I did, and it worked for a few minutes, and did it again. Now all it does when I turn it on is chimes, shows the Apple logo as if it is going to start up, and then dies. It is the original Core Duo one so it's out of warranty. Is this the logic board? If not is there any hope of it working again?

    Kernel panics are usually cause by hardware problems. Disconnect all devices from your computer & check out the following KB Article & User Tip:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106805 Mac OS X: "Broken folder" icon, prohibitory sign, or *kernel panic when computer starts*
