My Mac Book Pro do not install OS, say error HD but not repear it. Now do not load the system.
I have a MacBookPro 2012 no retina. I got it 22 December 2012. Mountain Lion installed. 2 months ago I updated to Yosemite. Yesterday, my MacPB did´t start up. Stay in White screen with a folder and a question mark flashing inside.
I have a time machine copy so I use disk utilities for delete and format internal HD.
MacBP format ok and create 1 partition ok but if I check it it seay ia must repair (an error with red text with code or type 8).
But when I click repair allways end with that red message.
However I decided to move on to installing the M. Lion (only one allowed) from Apple servers and give it a try.
But at the end of discharge (discharge indicator bar fills completely in blue) and tells me that is already at 0% , sudenly jumps to 15% again and stay in this loop that never ends.
Please, i need my MacBP and my desperate question is: Could be only a HD failure because it not get repaired? In that case I would buy another HD. But, could it be the controller and that's more serious?
I do never move the MacBookPro without turning it off before. Always use in my home.
Could be just the HD or has more the look of another damage ? How long warranty gives Apple?.
What could I do to go discarding and keep trying a bit?. I could buy a new HD and install it, coudn't not?
An economic HD for testing, What features should be HD, size, technology etc?
Thanks a lot in advance, Im lost now
If you keep getting a 'red' message it means that the HDD is faulty and will have to be replaced. You will have to format the new HDD in Disk Utility>Erase and then install the OSX and your data from Time Machine.
Ciao.

Hi TMSlattery,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on the description of the issue, it sounds like your computer isn't able to reach the Mac App Store (iTunes Store) or iCloud servers. I would recommend the troubleshooting here:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Troubleshoot issues on a Mac
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store, a software conflict or your Internet service provider (ISP) may be blocking your access.
Update iTunes and Safari to the latest version.
If you have a firewall, your settings may be preventing you from connecting to the iTunes Store. Follow these steps to configure your firewall.
You may need to reset your keychain. Connection issues are occasionally caused by keychain issues. Learn how to use Keychain First Aid to resolve any issues with your keychain.
If you're receiving a specific error message, follow these steps.
If the issue still persists, contact your Internet service provider and confirm that these ports and servers are enabled over your network.
Cheers,

Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer. -
I have had my mac book pro for about a year and a half and suddenly my dvd player will not play DVDs and i can not play alot of things on full screen. Does anybody know how i can fix this?
This could be several things, but let's get the obvious ones out of the way, first:
1. Judging from your text, there's no problem with anything stuck in the mechanism; it's more an issue of no being to put in a disk. In other words, you're sure that there isn't a disk stuck in your MBP. (That happens a lot for all computers.)
2. Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, and repair the disk. This should take under 10 minutes.
3. Perform the procedure outlined here:

4. After you're done, leave a message here as to the status of the repair. -
Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them. What can I do?
Try the advice here. I had the same problem and it worked for me.
You have to delete the "SC Info" folder from /Users/Shared. You will have to use Terminal to enable you to see this folder first. Make sure iTunes is not running when you delete the "SC Info" folder
There is an article from Apple on this here. The "SC Info" folder contains iTunes authorization information.
I did this two weeks ago and iTunes accepted by login. I haven't been asked for my AppleID or password since. -
imported a slide on my old mac book pro to my iTune i had on it, but it got a new one how can i get my old iTune back with that slide i imported
If this is a question about syncing with iTunes, you might want to post it over in the iTunes forum.

On start up my Mac Book Pro shows a white screen with a spinning wheel. I have tried starting up with the Snow Leopard disk - all I get is a blue screen. I guess that this is a major repair job??????
If you have the exact same problem - take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. If you have AppleCare call them!

Just attempted to download current update of Itunes into my HP computer with Windows 7. I've never had trouble before but now it will not run. Runtime Error R6034 an app has make an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Itunes Error 7
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

2009 Mac Book Pro want to install an SSD drive to replace optical 250 drive. What is best way?
My Mac Book Pro is getting very slow (2009) I want to replace 250 optical drive foe a 256 SSD Samsung850 pro drive. What is the best way to proceed. I am running Yosemite now. Have the SSD drive formatted and a back up made of my old drive. Do I have to go back to Snow leopard and reload? Then update to present?
ThanksThat error can be as a result of a number of reasons, corrupt file system, incompatible software, malware. etc.
I suggest that you connect the SDD via USB, boot into the recovery partition and install Yosemite onto the SSD. (Make certain that it has been formatted.)
Then test to see if it will boot the MBP (OPTION key down at start up and then select the SSD icon.)
If it boots the MBP, swap the drives and then connect the original or your back up HDD to the MBP and then drag and drop your data to the internal SSD.
This way if the HHD was corrupt, that issue then should be eliminated.
Not as quick a procedure, but this seems to be the best alternative that I can come up with.

Mac book pro won't install or uninstall programs
I have a mac book pro, running OSX 10.7.5. When I try to instill Java, or any program for that matter, it takes me to the download screen, asks me for my password and then does nothing. Will not install. I tried to uninstall a program as well and the same thing happens. Won't install or uninstall. Any ideas?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually 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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -

On my mac-book pro the sound isnt working after I have installed OSX Mavericks, should I take it to be repaired, or can I do something on System Preferences?
In addition to checking system preferences/sound/output and selecting built in if that does not work, make sure volume is up and mute not checked.
You can try the following, Take a set of headphones and plug theim in and out several times (there is a micro switch that sometimes gets stuck)
Go to applications>utilities>Audio MIDI set up, see if you can select built in there, make sure volume is uo mute not checked.
Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:
Power off, power back on holding the following keys OPTION + COMMAND + P + R
Continue to hold these keys till you hear the start chime 2 times, then release,reboot -
I have a Mac book pro ( 7,1 version ) bought in the US and want to see some videos, pictures and movies on a Sony TV with HDMI connection (in Europe).
When connecting both the pc and the tv, I get on the tv the opening screen of a mac book pro but although a movie is playing on the pc it does not show on the tv. Do I have to change something in the displays on the system preference screen ?
Thanks for helping out.By 'opening screen' do you mean the spiral galaxy desktop? If so, then, with the TV connected to the MBP, open System Preferences ➜ Displays ➜ Arrangement. You will see an image of two screens. At the top of the smaller of the two screens in the image is a small bar, this represents the menu bar at the top of your display. Drag this small bar to the top of the larger of the two screens in the image. The menu bar and dock will now appear on the TV which is now the primary display and all the action will take place there.
