My MacBook Pro has all the current updates, however is only open in version 10.5.8
My MacBook Pro has all the current updates, however is only open in version 10.5.8 I've tried disk permission repair. I tried rebooting in leopard (which I have 2 cd) and both eject within 10 seconds. What do I do?
Thank you. I knew I had to purchase Lion, I had no idea had to purchase Snow Leopard. Boy do I feel stupid :/
Much appreciated

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products. It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.
If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

Whenever I turn my MacBook pro on, all the other stuff is loaded (MS word/excel/powerpoint), Spotify, iCal, etc are automatically loaded, so in order for me to go to my desired website, I have to close (x) out all applications loaded. Please advise.
If you are using Lion:
Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it. -
Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.
Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps. -
If I backup my iPad to my new MacBook pro will all the apps be saved?
If I backup my iPad to my new MacBook pro will all the apps be saved?
All of your content should be transferred to the new Mac when you sync. However, if you want to be safe, you can select the transfer purchases options, then sync the iPad.
Read this article about syncing. There is a section in the article that states that all of your purchased content may not transfer over to new Mac when you sync. I have NEVER had that problem when syncing but the article does talk about transferring purchases just in case. Not a bad idea really ... better to be safe than sorry!

My Mac book pro keeps saying "connection time out occurred" I have a 2011 pro with all the latest updates. It keeps doing it and it really annoys me! Please help!
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain. -
My MacBook Pro keeps saying The folder “Desktop” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents. I just took it in to the apple store a few weeks ago, and since then I can't go into my desktop, I cant download anything to my computer.
Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu, click on the Desktop item, choose Get Info from the File menu, and give yourself read and write access in the Sharing & Permissions section.

MacBook Pro crashes all the time since installing Yosemite
My MacBook pro has become almost unusable since I installed Yosemite. I have a mid-2010 model MacBook Pro. It spontaneously shuts off and reboots itself very frequently-- so frequently I can't get anything done. It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing or which applications I am running. I ran TechTool Pro and it repaired some files and permissions. However, it's still spontaneously shutting off and rebooting just like before. I'm starting to wonder if my machine is on its way out. Can anyone help?
Thank you for responding! I ran Etrecheck and here's the report:

Recently, I noticed that my iPhone5, iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th Gen stopped backing up to the iCloud automatically despite ALL of them doing so previously, without a single problem. A few weeks ago I bought a Macbook Pro and I backed up all 3 devices to it a couple times (and they still backed up to the iCloud by themselves without a problem). A few days ago, I noticed that ALL 3 OF THEM stopped backing up to the iCloud automatically. Around the same time, I backed them up to my Mac and I also downloaded the iOS6 update. I'm not sure what is wrong. Has anybody else experienced this type of problem? I'm NOT very familiar with MAC computers as this is my first one and I've been learning a lot as I go. I don't know if I did something in the setting's of iTunes when I backed the devices up that could have caused the decives to stop backing up to the iCloud automatically. I did notice on my previous laptop (a Gateway) and on this one (the MacBook Pro) that on each device, I had to go into "Setting's" on each device and turn the "iCloud Backup" back to the "On" position! That was right after I backed them up to each computer. I attempted to fix it yesterday by adjusting the setting's in iTunes, but nothing worked. If anyone can help, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you!!!
Ok, I can try those things this afternoon. I have to leave now and won't be able to try for several hours. I'll let you know how things turn out. Thank you again. Also, I am not sure what DNS Setting's are regarding the router and how to change them. Thank you again for trying to help me with this. One side note. I noticed yesterday on another post regarding this topic, a man said he changed his iCloud email from one to another. I have two. One is and @me.com address and one is an @icloud.com address. I switched them around the other day. One device had @me.com as the one the email one be sent from (I think that was the phone) and I believe the iPad 3 had @iCloud.com as the other. Well, I switched them both to @icloud.com. In the post I mentioned a man said that he did that to his, and it worked. That was a few days ago and this was around the same time I began noticing the devices not synching to iCloud like they should. Right now I have for the iCloud email account (on both the iPhone and the iPad) @iCloud.com as the setting that any emails from that account would be sent from and the @me.com is also turned to the "On" position on both devices. I figured that if I'm sending an email from an iCloud account it should say "@iCloud.com" after it rather than "@me.com" after it. I just did that so everthing was the same on both devices and out of personal preference. No other reason really as I don't ever use the account to email anyone and have never given either address to anyone. Only Apple has them and they sent a couple things initially and I never receive anything on that account (for the most part). Ocasionally I get something from Apple and that's a rarity. I don't know if that may factor in at all or not. It did for one gentleman. Thank you randers4!

Cs5 Brush cursor problem, on MacBook pro, tried the latest update, and the genious dude had no idea of what to do! Apple any fix?
Additional Info - after working on this problem for 4 hours, I shut my laptop in frustration and took a break. 1 hour later I opened my mac and the cursor had magically returned. No restart, no power on/off - nothing. Frustration. If anyone else has had this happen and has actually fixed the problem let me know. I'm sure it will reoccur.

Leaving Macbook Pro on all the time (as a desktop)
Hey guys, I have a 2010 Macbook Pro 17" and I'm thinking about transitioning it to a more sedentary lifestyle and turning it into my desktop. I currently use a PC as my home desktop, but it's old, slowing down, and uses Windows.
I have a few questions as I consider this move.
1) Will I need to keep the screen open on the laptop all the time? I think that MBPs dissipate their heat through the front/keyboard, so if I do find a workaround to keep it closed all the time, will my laptop overheat?
2) If I leave my MBP on all the time and plugged into an outlet constantly, will that drain my battery? I like keeping my main desktop on all the time as I do a lot of downloading, use it as a media server, and also like to access my desktop remotely. For the rare instance I want to unplug the MBP from the desktop setup, will I have any battery left to use?
The reason why I ask is because I'm thinking about two main options. The new iMacs are rumored to be coming out by the end of this month and I might just get that to replace my PC. However, I am thinking about holding off for the next generation of Macbook Airs (whenever that is) and just purchasing that, while turning my current MBP into a functional desktop. What is the downside of the using a MBP as a desktop instead of an iMac?
Please let me know what you guys think and recommend, and if anyone else uses this setup, please let me know how it is! Thanks!1. Yes, it's possible to close the lid and keep the computer going - there are several threads on this if you search.
Although the MBP vents out the back when the lid is closed, heat does dissipate through through the top (meaning around the keyboard/speakers/trackpad/etc) also. Feel with your the top of your hands the aluminum when you computer is working hard and you will feel the heat - closing the lid will limit this heat escaping to a degree. So while it's likely fine to run the MBP with the lid closed, if it were me I would raise the lid up a few inches when the computer is using high CPU or the fans are working hard. (By the way, if you've been to an apple store, you will see that their laptops are fitted with little plastic bumpers so that when the lid is closed it doesn't close all the way - it could be to prevent sleeping, but instead of modding all their computers they could have just turned off sleep on lid close.)
2. As previously stated, it is good to power cycle your battery every month or so to keep it healthy. This is the nature of Li-ion batteries. Just unplug it and let it "die" once and a while. Leaving it plugged in most of the time won't destroy your battery.
Regarding iMac : It may have a better screen than whatever you currently have - they are stunning. Additionally, the current iMacs are more powerful than your 2010 MBP. But if you do decide to go that direction, I would agree that it may be best to wait till the iMacs come out with the improved Sandy Bridge i7's. If you don't need much horsepower, any of the 3 options will work - why not try out your 2010 MBP as your desktop for a bit and see how you like it, in the meantime you can see when the iMac comes out and compare that to your MBP desktop replacement/new MB Air idea. -
Macbook Pro freezes ALL THE TIME...not even a month old
What is the deal? I got the Macbook Pro because it was supposed to be the best computer, and literally I can't do anything on it beause it is constantly frozen with the spinning color wheel. I HATE it. It's the most non productive notebook i have ever purchased. I have a slighly older version of the macbook pro and it works just fine. The only problems I have ever had with the older version started after I updated the software. Now the old macbook freezes occasionally, but nothing like the new one.
Is it just a problem with Apple's new software???That is definitely not normal, but it's very difficult to say what the problem might be without more information. Open Activity Monitor and look at the System Memory tab. Compare page outs to page ins. If page outs are more than 10% of the page ins, you're having memory problems and need more RAM.
How much hard drive space do you have free? If you don't have about 10% of your drive free, you can start having all kinds of strange problems.
Try starting up in safe mode... do the problems happen in that mode? -
My brand new macbook pro freezes ALL the time
Without even one single app running, this piece of garbage will freeze. I get the spinning pinwheel even when I open Finder. I have updated all software, don't game, never run more than two apps at a time, the two being iTunes and Safari.
I don't know what to do, I've had the notebook for literally less than a month and a half, and I am SO SO SO disappointed to the point that I hate it and want to break it. I have about 5 minutes from startup before I have to hard restart the computer, and once I do, it just stays frozen once it wakes back up.
I am at a loss, and any other message board I find is from 2011, where the "update" is that Apple has fixed the issue. My computer is by definition a worthless and useless two thousand dollar piece of machinery that I can't even use for longer than 5 minutes. I will not be purchasing another macbook. I just need to know how to deal with this one.You are still under warranty. Call Apple Care, get a case number and keep it handy.
