My mac book pro, model

My mac book pro, model #A1498, at startup shows a grey screen and a circle with a diagonal line through it. It shows this for about 15 seconds before it shuts off. My computer won't even get to the login screen. How do do I fix it?

My model is A1398! Sorry!

  • Just purchased snow leopard 10.6  for my mac book pro Model A1278

    After I install this- are there any free upgrades I should be looking for?

    If you actually have a MacBook Pro with Retina display, as your tag suggests, you probably won't be able to run SL 10.6.8.
    If you're referencing a Model A1278, which is a non Retina MacBook Pro 13", it shipped with Lion 10.7.4, so I doubt that it will run SL either.
    You need to identify the actual Mac that you want to use with SL.

  • How do you Control Alt Delete on mac Book Pro keyboard when using VM Ware?

    This must be the stupidest question I'll ever have to ask...but....normally in the office I have a separate mac keyboard/screen/mouse and log into Windows via VM Ware. I am using the latest Mac Book Pro model. I have to click on the window and press Control Alt Delete before I log in. This works fine until the day I was out of the office and had to press Control Alt Delete via the Mac Book Pro's own keyboard and nothing happened. I passed the laptop over to 2-3 other mac friendly people and we all were left scratching our heads.
    Can anyone shed some light on this??

    Google is your friend!*
    Turned up another Apple Discussions post that said to press  + U at the ctrl-alt-del prompt to bring up the 'visually challenged' tools, and to turn on the on-screen keyboard. This should allow you to log in, then once you are in, remap the keys to something more convenient, maybe assigning the right-hand-side command key to DEL. Unfortunately, I haven't used a Windows PC in ages, so I can't tell you how to do this.
    On a related note, I've just discovered that I don't have an  key on my MBP. You learn something new every day!

  • Mac Book Pro Serial

    would like to know what type wire to puchase that will connect Mac Book Pro  Model A1286 to a TV that has HDMI port. 

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have got an Early 2011 MacBook Pro. This Mac comes with Thunderbolt, so you need a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable to connect the MacBook to the TV. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US

  • Mac Book Pro with 2 or 4 core?

    I use Lightroom a lot and am looking at getting a new Mac Book Pro to speed things up and to replace my Mac Book (I need a laptop for location tethered shooting)
    Will I see a big difference between a 2 or 4 core model, or is the processor speed more importand? I've also read on another Adobe Forum that Hyperthreading is not fully implemented on LR 4.2.
    Does anyone have recommendations for a Mac Book Pro model; preferably a 13" (for size/ location) unless you think the dual core will be too slow?
    Thanks for any input.
    Alan.

    Multithreading in Lightroom is not as efficient as it could be so you are unlikely to see a 2x speed increase from going from 2 to 4 cores. Probably more like 1.4x or so depending on what you are doing so it is possible that higher clock rate will make up for fewer cores. I have a 4 core i7 Mac Book Pro retina and it is very fast in Lightroom but I have no frame of reference to compare to a dual core with the same level of processor. The retina display is gorgeous with Lightroom even though retina is not fully supported yet by Lightroom (in the Library module you get partial retina support), so I would recommend that machine in 13" if you have the cash especially since Adobe has already promised support in LR 4.

  • I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal. I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model)

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal.
    I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
    I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?

    Some things you can try.

  • How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

    I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
    I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
    Thanx

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...

  • How do I find the model number to my 15" Mac Book Pro?

    I have a 15" Mac Book Pro (the one with the keyboard that matches the outer uni-body and track-pad).  I am having difficulty in finding the actual model number that is associated with this machine ( as it is second hand). I found the serial number and all the other essential specifications to wit I would have interest for scheduled up-keep.  The model number, however, escapes me?  Could someone shed some light on this?  Apologies in advance for appearing thick headed on the matter.  I'm sure it is right in front of me.

    You can use iCloud to lock it if you had that set up. Otherwise, the only thing to do is report the theft to the police. You may want to contact your homeowner's insurance to see if it would be worth filing a claim with them also.

  • Boot Camp Question .... I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp. If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"

    I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp.
    If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"... will it make my mac suseptible to viruses overall due to having a windows component? also will it make my mac slower as well

    If you are only going to use one or two window only programs then I wouldn't waste the space.  Try WinonX it allows you to install exe. Files on Mac without installing windows.

  • Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag). Also Premiere Pro CS5, playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion.

      Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush, but only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag).
       Also Premiere Pro CS5 playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion, Premiere Pro is installed on the main drive but the footage is on an external drive connected with USB 2.
      I'm wondering if it is just a problem with the Mac USB drivers maybe not supporting USB 2 ? (Because I have also installed Window 7 on this same MacBookPro and tested the same software "Zbrush and Premiere Pro" And they both work perfectly on the Bootcamp Windows 7 install, and so its using the same hardware so it has to be the drivers right ?)
    Any help would be great, Thanks
