Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them. They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent. They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover. The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free. If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store. For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.

Every time i try to download updates i get an error and told to restart my macbook pro. why? what to do?

every time i try to download updates i get an error and told to restart my macbook pro. why? what to do?

This is a rare error, so excuse me if I ask some basic questions:
1. Do you update your Apple software through the Software Update pulldown menu? If not, I'd suggest doing that.
2. Do you perform diagnostics? If not, you can perform a Permissions check by going to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and running it.
3. Do you perform other diagnostics? Download Onyx to your Mac, and perform a full diagnostic on your machine. You'll need to reboot.
4. Have you tried to download updates individually from Apple? Not the perfect solution, but there's a good chance it will work.
5. Have you used Terminal? If you go to Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type "sudo softwareupdate --install --all", and enter. Software Update should work.
6. If all fails, consult help at your Apple Store, if there's one nearby.

MacBook Pro being really slow and vert little free RAM.

Hi,
Just recently my MacBook Pro has been running really slowly when navigating between applications and tabs in safari. I checked to see how much RAM was free and it said only 30MB. I have no more apps open or things running than I normally do. This Mac is 6 months old but my old mac that was nearly 3 years old tended to run quicker, and as mentioned, I have no more apps running than I previously had. Maybe Word, Excel, iTunes and Safari. Can anyone help explain what might be making it slow and what might be hogging all the RAM?
Thanks
Matt

I ran the Etrereport and this is what i got back.

Nvidia 6800M Card in MacBook Pro 2.5 -what card is Apple using for repairs?

The Nvidia 6800M Card:
Am getting one of the outgoing MacBook Pros Early 2008 with 2.5 GHz 250 HD and 512MB VRAM. I thought this model was not one of those with the defective Nvidia 6800M Card. Apple didn't list the 2.5 GHz machine on their website as one of those with the bad card.
Now I'm certain that this machine too has the defective card (based on all the web info and evidence that Nvidia never fixed or altered their production processes on this and it was a soldering defect).
If Apple replaces it with a new logic board presumably -- will it have the exact same type of 6800M card or a new, revised one? <edited by host>
Those of you getting a repair --- what kind of card do you have now? Can they put a different video card on there???
Am very worried as I don't game but bought this thing for graphics on the side and home use. I may not "stress it" sufficiently with CS 3 Suite so problem may not manifest until after AppleCare runs out. I want this machine to last 5 -- 7 years. Should I return it and get hit with open box fees???

hepatica,
there is a repair program in place stating that should the GPU fail as a result of the defect, your warranty will be extended to two years and the repair will be free of charge. if you happen to get applecare, it's free of charge to fix anyways.
the support article also says that the affected models were manufactured between may 2007 and september 2008.
that being said, i don't think all of the 8600M GTs are defective. should a repair be necessary at this point (or a year from now, when the GPU usually fails for most people who have had it fail), i can confidently say that it would be replaced with a revised chip since nvidia has corrected the problem this past summer (as stated by another poster). the new revision should be free from the defect.
apple would not put in a different GPU (eg: the 9600M GT) than the one it came with.

MacBook Pro display cracked - what to do?

I've just had my MacBook Pro dropped and now my screen has gone and cracked, leaving me unsure what to do now. Its an early 2011 core i7 model and so any warranties have indeed run out. So I'm wondering what I should do next. I've considered a couple of options the first being paying for a new screen (Just to clarify its not the glass that's cracked but the LCD behind it making it look like it's leaking rainbows) but I'm unsure of what sort of price I'd be looking at, or maybe just buying a refurbished or second hand one from eBay and migrating everything from the old one. Any and all advice would be appreciated and if anyone could give me an idea on screen replacement prices that would be handy.
Many thanks!

" so any warranties have indeed run out."
Sorry for your loss. Proof of physical damage voids the warranty anyway.
" couple of options the first being pay"
When you go in, ask for a "Depot Repair" it's a flat rate service for $300. Your store would have to be aware of and offer the service.
" it's leaking rainbows)"
Yup that's a cracked LCD.
Here's an exact replacement on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/661-5868-Complete-13-3-Display-Assembly/dp/B00LW7IES0
The numbers are correct. So if you feel confident eMail me for instructions or use the iFixIt site.
Wow, here's one from NewEgg even cheaper. It's a refurb:

Macbook pro being hacked

Hi,
I think my macbook pro has been hacked, as my cursor was wandering around as if someone is remote controling my computer. I already changed my passwords, but how can I make sure that I haven't been hacked? what should I do?

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
3. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
6. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
7. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and the unit needs to be serviced or replaced.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

Macbook Pro - horrible performance - what can I do???

Macbook Pro 15"
Late model 2010 (December)
2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
8GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM
500GB HDD (437GB/37GB Mac HDD/Bootcamp)
Hi,
When I got my MBP in Dec 2010, it was very snappy running Snow Leopard.
My initial upgrade to Lion (Apple's version of MS Vista? LOL) had issues, I restored from Time Machine, but eventually got it installed. Almost immediately, the performance drastically reduced.
Eventually, I took it into Apple, they re-installed Lion from scratch (wiped the hard disk), and I did a partial restore from Time Machine. There's no guarantee I didn't regress some system files from my Time Machine backup.
The install of Mountain Lion was uneventful - the app store upgrade ran fine.
I was also getting a number of kernel panics, which were eventually isolated to (I think?) the GPU. Apple replaced the GPU under the Apple Care warrantee.
So, ever since moving off the original operating system, my MBP has had horrid performance. Some days worse than others, but lately very bad.
However, the timing could be a coincidence - I have also installed a number of third party tools (as we all do), and my HDD has 12GB out of 437GB left. At times it has had < 1GB before I copied files to an external USB drive. I don't deny my MBP could be bloated.
Sometimes when I close the laptop lid, then reopen it, the screen never recovers. 5 mins later the display is still black, and I have to cycle power. Sometimes just tabbing to a new text input field within Safari can take 30 seconds to move to the next field. Numerous other performance problems, I'm so sick of the spinning beach ball.
So, with that as background, some questions:
1) Any general advice on addressing poor performance under OS X 10.8.2?
2) Are there any *good quality* tools I can use to fix poor performance? I installed Mackeeper 2012 for about 10 minutes, before further web research convinced me to uninstall immediately. But I do like the concept, if a reputable company puts out a similar product. What about Clean My Mac???
3) Are there any tools available to test my hardware? I know Apple have them - that's how they detected the bad GPU. I'd like to run a full diagnostic check of my hardware.
(However, I also booted into Boot Camp. Windows 7 was very snappy, with the same hardware available to OS X. I suspect my problem is software related. Performance of the Boot Camp images under Parallels 8 is abysmal. Yes, I know a VM adds overhead, but Windows used to be just fine under Parallels.)
4) Or should I just take it to the Genius Bar under my Apple Care coverage? I've got 10 months left on the 3 year warrantee.
Any other advice more than welcome. Right now, I'm close to just wiping the disk and installing Windows 7 ;-). At this point, it really is unworkable, the performance is that bad. I really *want* to like my Mac and OS X, but lately I think "It Just Works" is just a bunch of marketing hype ;-).
Thanks,

Thanks for the quick reply...
1) Can I reinstall Mountain Lion from the recovery partition? I know I could with Lion; I assume the app store upgrade to Mountain Lion updates the recovery partition?
2) How do I run a hardware diagnostics on my HDD? Is there a utility that comes with Mountain Lion, or do I need to go to Apple?
3) Are there known apps that cause problems? I totally agree with your advice above - I should have thought of it lol - but it will be a PITA to implement. I can post a list of my apps if that will help. Note that the poor performance occurs even when few apps are actually active, and happens shortly after a restart.
4) How do I know what a TRUSTED app is? For example, I've got Chrome, but I've heard it has ahem "issues" on the Mac. But I don't know if that's the *cause* of the poor performance.
(Oops...ignore question #2, I'll search for how to do this...)
In short, if there is a way to shortcut these diagnostics, that would help. But yeah, I can see that what you suggest will probably what I end up doing ;-/
Thanks again,
Scott

How do I sync Iphone 5 to new MacBook Pro without deleting what's on iPhone?

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and I have an iPhone 5 that has been synced with my PC. When I try and sync the iPhone with the new MacBook ti tells me that it will erase what is on the iPhone and replace it with what is on the MacBook. I want to sync all that is on the iPhone with the MacBook and not delete what is on the iPhone.
How do I do that without loosing any music, emails, photos, calender appointments, etc.?
Thank you for the help in advance.

A device can only sync with one library at a time. Ideally you transfer the library from the PC to the Mac so it is still syncing with the same library.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
If you don't have the library anymore then it gets messy. You will have to use third party software to transfer the phone contents to the Mac and rebuild your library there so its content matches that of the old library so you are syncin the content back to the phone.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Macbook Pro being used as XP Pro Bootcamp gaming laptop - OK?

I am looking to buy a Macbook pro 2.4 with 2gb ram. I want to split the drive into 2, making the other side bootcamp, xp pro, for mainly purposes of gaming. Games like COD4, COD5, GRID, etc. etc., but wanted to know before I buy can the Macbook Pro be a good or great as an xp or windows 7 gaming laptop, or should I buy a xp gaming laptop? I can upgrade the ram to 4gb, no problem, if that helps.
Thanks!!!

Whoa, did that go the wrong way. I didn't mean that Luke "thought" I might be foolish, but, here's my question...
I want one laptop, preferring an Apple, if I get the Macbook Pro and convert it into 1/2 xp pro gaming machine, will it be worth my cash (can it perfome very well in gaming) or just buy a desktop gaming pc and then just a macbook (refurb)? I can't decide. Thanks for your help!!!!
"Foolish" being, trying to turn an apple computer into an xp gaming notebook.

MacBook Pro being slow without visible reason

I've got a 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2012, with OS X 10.8.4. It's being so slow that I can't even access Internet and it takes a painfully long time to access Word or any of my files. As for memory, there are 361 GB free of 499 GB. The idle CPU is at about 90%, with no apps open. Even when I try to open Safari, the idle CPU is above 80%. It'll work on and off as the RAM goes from 2 GB to 100 MB. How can I keep the RAM from going back down, if that's even the problem?

NO TUNE UP APPLICATIONS! All of them do nothing that you can do on your own and too many of them slow your MBP down.
Usually the problem is a HDD issue. Look for solutions in these comprehensive troubleshooting documents:

Transferring from Macbook (2008) to Macbook Pro (2013). What is best way to transfer?

What is the best method of migrating from Macbook (2008) to Macbook Pro (2013)?

If you have a backup then use that. If not, then make a backup you can restore from.
Otherwise, connect both computers to your local network and transfer your data using File Sharing.
