  • If i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

    if i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

    Depends on how you do it
    If you create a partition with Boot Camp and format that partition correctly
    Then install Windows your data should not be touched
    If you do anything wrong or there is any mishap during the whole procedure you could lose everything
    Hence the reason I suggest that you backup first

    Hi. My Macbook Pro won't start, in the middle of the screen, there is a folder sign with a question mark blinking. Thanks a lot!

    Here's a link to a Support page on the topic, which may be of help in finding resolution:
    •A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac
    There are a few known causes of this symptom, so you'd have to try some things to
    see if you can narrow down the cause; this often accomplished by finding success.
    Hopefully the info there helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • MacBook Pro will no longer access the internet

    We have two macs:  A MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz Intel Core Due) and a MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).  Both are running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Problem:  the MacBook Pro will no longer connect to the internet.  Network Diagnostics thinks that it is connected.  I can use Network Utilitities to ping a site.  But Apple Mail, iCal, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Skype, Software Update, etc., cannot access the internet.
    The MacBook Pro is set up with a single user account.
    Our internet is provided through a mobile phone provider.  If I set up our smart phone to serve as a wireless hotspot, the MacBook, iPod Touch, iPad will all connect.  The MacBook Pro will not.  If I put the SIM card in a USB modem and connect the modem to the MacBook Pro, the modem software will connect to the internet.  If I turn on Internet Sharing on the MacBook Pro, the MacBook, etc., will connect through the MacBook Pro, but the MacBook Pro itself will not.
    So to sum up:  the modem software connects to the internet, Internet Sharing works as it should, Network Diagnostics and Network Utilities can't see a problem, and yet none of the apps that NEED to access the internet are able to.
    This is the error message that Safari gives:
         Safari can't open the page "...".  The error is "The
         operation couldn't be completed.  Operation not permitted"
         (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:1) Please choose Safari > report Bugs to Apple, note the
         error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
    This is the error message that Chrome gives:
         Error 10 (net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED): Unknown Error
    I have tried going to System Preferences / Network and deleting Airport and then adding it back.  I've tried disabling the Firewall.  And the same with reboots after each.
    We're from the States but currently our work has us in Africa.  To keep from inadvertantly passing on windows viruses to others (viruses are rampant in Africa), I'm running the Intego anti-virus software on both machines (VirusBarrier X6).  I mention this because the problem started after rebooting after an update for that software.  (The MacBook Pro has had the update, the MacBook has not.)  But I also used Time Machine in an attempt to roll back VirusBarrier X6 to its pre-update status.  That didn't solve the problem either, which makes be think that the Intego problem didn't cause the problem.  But I mention it to be thorough.
    There is an Apple-certified service centre in country, but it's a long drive away that I'd rather not have to make.  As it would for any of you in this day and age, this is really hampering my work.  Any and all help is much appreciated.

    THE FIX
    After hours (days actually) troubleshoorting, involving 4 people and Apple Support folks, I'll  save you time. If you have VirusBarrier-follow the Manual to uninstall. use Intego's uninstall and deauthorize Virusbarrier before you trash it. If you have Net Nanny, trash it.
    None of the above-it is Foxcomm's Airport/Bluetooth (661-5867) card. Faulty, non existent, blown a transistor, are all comments from Techn Support reps (the Genuis blue shirt reps)
    Take it into an Apple Store, have them check the Airport card  (and only the airport card) using " a different operating system". Sorry that is a black hole, as the machine disappeared to the back of the store for"testing. Don't re-install the OS, delete plist files or applications, reconf and spend hours wasting your time.
    Virusbarrier, net nanny or a faulty Airport card. In warranty it is covered; out of warranty:70.55 plus $39 to have Apple officially loosen the screws.I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro, can't speak for older models.
    Hope this helps the community.

  • My macbook pro will only start-up in grey screen

    hi, i have a potentially big problem
    I have just purchased macbook pro 15 inch 2.0 GHZ and tried to transfer data using the migration assistant.
    i started have numerous problems like i did not have permissions to open folders - i found out how to solve that from this forum and it worked
    i had more problems though with Teamviewer - it would not open - came up with an error message 600, so i downloaded the newest version which also wouldn't open.
    and basically it just got from bad to worse.....
    so i thought that i would then try to do a restore from 'My Passport for Mac' external hard drive.
    then i got numerous messages popping up saying 'system extensions cannot be used' etc
    i tried numerous times to restart new laptop, shutdown or even hard re-boot and it would not
    so i went into SYSTEM / LIBRARY / EXTENSION and started deleting the files that it said were not installed properly
    the list went on and on and on so i deleted the whole contents of extension folder - it was only then that the laptop would restart
    BUT - now that it has restarted i get the restart 'sound' a grey screen with the apple icon in the middle - no cursor and some small writing in the top left hand corner (looks like CMD mode) and amongst the jargon it does say 'unable to find driver for this platform'
    what on earth have i done ?
    please help
    thanks
    Serena

    i found the answer to my question on this forum - see below,  hallelujah.....
    This solved my question by Franco16 on Jun 13, 2012 3:13 AM
    I found the solution, thanks to MrE_the_Great (read following cut and paste)
    I'm glad it worked out.  I'll put the steps below again for others who join this discussion late and to clarify as I was typing on a phone last night while my MBP was re-installing.
    1) Hold in command-r while rebooting (or from cold start) to boot to the recovery partition.
    2) Chose re-install mac osx
    3) Enter appleID credentials
    4) After the re-install is complete (may take a while depending on your intenet connection etc) all your files, preferences, and software will be there, you shouldn't lose anything.
    5) DO NOT reattempt the Thunderbolt update.  You can update the iPhoto and other updates that Software Update finds...just DO NOT check the Thunderbolt one or you will be at step one again.

  • Macbook Pro - Applications wont start without External Display

    Hi all,
    Apologies if this question has already been answered, but I have spent a lot of time Googling to no avail...
    I have an early 2011 15" MBP with the following spec:
    Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,2
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed:          2 GHz
      Number of Processors:          1
      Total Number of Cores:          4
      L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
      L3 Cache:          6 MB
      Memory:          8 GB
      Boot ROM Version:          MBP81.0047.B24
      SMC Version (system):          1.69f1
    AMD Radeon HD 6490M / Intel HD Graphics 3000
    Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.8
    I normally use the MBP with a 27" Cinema Display connected (mini display port/thunderbolt connector) and the clamshell shut. All is fine.
    However, if I remove the external monitor and want to use the MBP with just its own display, some applications will not start. They bounce int he dock for a while and then hang, and need to be forcibly killed. Not all applications behave this way, but so far I have experienced this with Aperture 3.2, Omnigraffle, Parallels, Pixelmator.
    Does anyonw have a clue whats going on and how to fix?
    Thanks

    Hi Grant & Bob
    Thanks for your responses.
    The adaptor has been removed from the Mac, and I have tried all the obvious solutions (like using detect displays), but to no avail.
    I will try and investigate some  other scenarious (like using a different external display) and see what happens.
    Thanks

    If they don't work, that may be a display or GPU issue. Take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. If you want to know which is the part, connect an external display

  • Macbook pro will only start to windows I do not have bootcamp files.

    I am new to mac but good with windows. I just bought my first mac a macbook pro 17. I do need to run windows on it too. I ran all the updates for the OS then started bootcamp. It did tell me to put in a DVD and i foolishly didnot it said it was copying the files to fbnr. I went to the next step and installed windows 7 64bit. I starts up in windows fine but i now need the drivers that would have been on the DVD. I have read that i should boot up as a mac and start bootcamp and make the DVD. I can not get the OS to start it just keeps going to the windows. How do I start up the OS? Is there a way to download the drives I need with out booting to OS?
    Thank you

    I looked at the directions for bootcamp and on page 10 it tells you to use to use the control key when starting to choose the drive you want.

    bradhamer12345,
    this could be due to a problem on your disk. You can try this to see if it makes a difference: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode.

    In MacBook Pro, where is the "DONE" button to save my editing changes and revert back to the iphoto library?

    If you're using the Adjust editing pane there is no Done button. When you done with the editing just click on the Photos button at the top or use one of the arrows at the top to advance to the next photo.  No done button required.
