My Macbook pro charging adapter is fine, but when plugged into the charging port it needs to be pressed down to charge and buzzes.
My charging adapter is fine but when I plug it into the charging port on the macbook it only works if I press down on it and it buzzes slightly. What is wrong and how much will it cost to fix?
Check the charger connection to the MBP. The pins are spring loaded and should be able to move freely. Look into the charge port of the MBP and make certian that there is no dirt or debris inside.
There should be NO noise when connected to the charger. If so, bring the MBP and the charger for a FREE evaluation at an Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.

i tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro (via external hard drive), but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. so i tried to just delete all those images so i could try a different approach to transferring, but the new iphoto won't let me do anything and every time i try to delete anything it crashes (since the image amount is so high). please help!!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iphoto '11, version 9.4.2To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else. -

IPod not Charging, or Connecting to iTunes when Plugged into the Computer
I cracked the screen a few weeks ago. When I plug it into the computer, it does not charge, and it is not recognized. BUT, if I use the same USB cable, I can charge it using a wall charger.
You can try here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
However, if you have acces to aonther computer that is know to connect to iPods I would try the other computer first. The iPod damage may be causing the problem -
I've tried restarting it. When the battery finally dies and I get to turn it back on, it works for a while until it freezes, then I click the power button to put it on standby and then the screen won't turn back on but the computer says it's still on. However, the computer won't detect the device.
When this happens hold the HOME and SLEEP button at the same time for about 10 seconds until an Apple logo appears. If that works we still need to find out why it is locking up.

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?
Well
I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem. Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol. Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too. -
I use a two button mouse with my Mac Book Pro. It works fine, but after installing Lion, the mouse wheel goes in reverse of what it did (rolling the wheel towards your palm goes up not down the page). Anyone know how to fix this?
First sentence in OPs question:
I use a two button mouse with my Mac Book Pro
I guess the track pad settings would look similar to my screen shot?

Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro. Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep. How do I resolve ?
Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh? If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized. Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool. Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

HT3371 My Macbook Pro does,nt seem to have any life in the battery does it need a new one
My Macbook Pro does,nt seem to have any life in the battery does it need a new one
You can check the actual capcity by opening the "System Information" application in the folder "/Applications/Utilities".
Then you can select the information section "Hardware > Power" to see the information regarding the battery:
The important information is highlighted in the image above. The ratio of Charge Remaining (when fully charged) to Full Charge Capacity is a good metric of how "healthy" the battery is. The Number if cycles is another indicator. The higher the number of cycles the lower I would expect the ratio of Charge Remaining (when fully charged) to Full Charge Capacity. -
When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?
Thanks David. I had to convert the mts file to Quick Time (using AunSoft Conversion software) before I could import it into Final Cut Express. And I made sure I kept the size of movie (720 X 480 with letterbox) to compliment what I set my Panaconic AVCCAM video recorder at (720/60). Even after I fully render it, it still looks fuzzy in the Canvas window at the right that plays what I have editing down in the Timeline. A friend that edits some using Final Cut Pro helped me to narrow things down to this problem. This is also wierd. If my Viewer window at the left is set to 200% to get the person's head the same size in the Canvas window at the right we needed to put it to 400%. Does this make any sense. We think we need to control the Time line resolution somehow but cannot find any options from my manual, or the help, or in the various drop down menus. Do you have any clue? What is going on?

my iPhone4 will not turn on or show that is working at all, i have tried to charge it so that the screen will light up but it won't work, when plugged into the computer iTunes does not show any sign it is plugged in, what do i do?
There is a hardware problem. Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.
Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.
