My MacBook pro has only 10.5.8 and says no updates available. Any ideas?
I need to update iTunes and sync my iPad and iphone4s, and keep getting message that I need to update my software, but when I try to, computer reads no software available. Ideas?

Should I use my Apple Care, or is there a quick fix?
you see what is running on your computer (because CPU usage is what makes the procesor(s) get hot) by opening the application "Activity Monitor" in the folder "/Applications/Utilities", then select the "CPU" tab (at the bottom) and sort the information in the top section by "%CPU":
This will show you what application is using the most CPU time and is the most likely candidate for why your machine is warming up. You can also quit all applications, then reboot to see if that resolves the problem. -
HT1338 my macbook pro has been running hot off and on
My macbook pro has been running hot off and on for the last couple of days
Are you running andy anti-virus or "cleaning" software? Both can shorten battery life and run up the temps.
Take a look at this Apple article:
Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity
Note in Step 3 you need to make a change if running Mavericks. In Mav, Activity Monitor's "Show All Processes" function moved from the application window to the application menubar:
Setting to "All Processes" is the only sure way to catch some suspects. Not noted in the article is this: AM won't tell you much if you run it shortly after a restart. Use your computer as normally as possible for at least a half-day before running the test. Also not clear is that you should be looking for any process that uses more than about 10 percent of the cycles. I've checked a lot of Macs with AM and, assuming you quit any user applications you started (other than AM) nothing should be a percentage larger than a single digit in a healthy Mac. -
Upon entering a LV project file into VSS, all files in the project are left out. Only the project shell and settings enter VSS. Any idea why?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Chuck72352,
Hello! It is my understanding that you need to add the individual files to the Source Code Control along with the .lvproj file.
Here is a great deal of information on Source Code Control Practices in LabVIEW.

The software i use to play dj music videos cause for multi disply in which my Macbook pro has a single display funtion. Is the ant way to get multi monitor display added to my computer
If the monitor can be detected your Displays preferences should show it in its Arrangement panel. You may have to play around with your Display panel to get the desired resolution. And also may have to click detect displays and gather windows to see both sets of preferences on your main screen.

Hi, my Macbook Pro has slowed down to a crawl on the internet since the airport security patch and OS update about 1 week ago. I am using Firefox 3.6.17 and have tried all versions up to date (but 3.6.17 is the best). Same issues with Safari too. I am using an Airport wireless modem also so should not be any issues with compliance. Local programs seem to run OK... but the internet is slow enough to grow a beard... Do they have a patch for this issue. It only started after the updates. Was blazing fast until that.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.

MacBook Pro has been running outrageously slow and been freezing entirely
Over the past two weeks, my three year old MacBook has been running outrageously slow, even with only one program open and simple programs at that, like preview. Many of the times, It completely freezes up and I have to reboot the system. I have been attempting to fix this, cleaning up memory, running virus scanning (which hasn't been going all the way through the scan but shuts down), repairing and verifying the disk, etc. I am worried I have a virus or something. Help!
Frank,
when I mentioned reformatting the drive, i meant the external harddrive that I am attempting to back up to. Have reformatted it successfully, but for whatever reason, when I try to back up my macbook's internal harddrive to the external volume, it gets stuck at 2.12 gb and then stops all together, saying there is an error. I have tried this several times and have reformatted and repaired the external disk several times, so I don't think it is the issue.
S.M.A.R.T. status reads verified.
Checking Console now...not entirely sure what I'm looking for here...typed in retry into the search for Console log, came up with several similar to this "4/30/13 1:08:32.399 PM coreaudiod[263]: AHS_DefaultDeviceManager::SynchronizeDeviceList: the device list should never be empty - retrying". I'm not really sure what this means, or really what I'm looking for in this application.
I use trend micro security, which is a required virus scanner for my college. I've had it loaded since I bought my macbook, nearly three years ago, and have only had a problem with it once (last year when mountain lion came out, there was a problem installing the new software because of some issue with trend micro). But never before has it acted this weird. Before, it would run scans normally, but not it gets 10%, then suddenly says its done and that it found nothing, although it still had several hundred thousands files left to scan.
My internal drive is 250 gb, and I currently have a little under 75 gb free.
Looking at activity monitor now, but again, I don't exactly know what I'd be looking for in a program that shouldn't be there. the largest usage currently is kernel_task, and I have no idea what this is, but honestly, i don't know what programs I would be looking for that would be running my computer at all times.
Any further suggestions or tips? -
My macbook pro is failing to read a new sd card with movies recorded on it. Any ideas please? A previously used SD card has downloaded without problems. I have tried using a card reader as well as downloading from the video camera itself, neither works.
I can view the latest recordings on the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it but didn't think of that at the time. Obviously don't want to do this now as it will wipe the movies.Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
From everything you've described, you've done everything possible. Hence, I recommend you seek out your warranty support.
Good luck and let us know.

The finder app on my Macbook is always open. No "quit"option appears, and Force quit doesn't work to make it quit. Any ideas?
ThanksThere's absolutely no reason to quit it, just for curiosity maybe.
Most people think Finder runs the Mac GUI and that's why you can't quit it, but they are wrong. This is for Windows and Windows explorer. Mac is way stronger than Windows, thus doesn't need to run it's GUI on finder. There's no option to quit finder for pure symbolism, because Finder doesn't bother anyone and is the way the OS uses to manage files. However, if your curiosity is too strong, you can do this:
Enable Voice Feedback, Voice control, whatever you call it.
Put it to always work with a Keyword active.
Put focus on Finder and say "(Keyword), Quit this application".
Mac will quit finder. BOOM.
Nothing else will happens, the Mac will keep running and Finder won't start again until you (or some app) open it.
That was made on OS X Mountain Lion. -

trying to set up new macbook and has frozen during the process of using windows migration, now can,t get it to go
Try just holding down the power key to power off - you may have some files that migrated, maybe, maybe not.
You won't hurt anything - just have to try MA again if it doesn't work the first time.
