Its brand new install cd's, so I don't think its something wrong with them. I just got my macbook back from support, so its really annoying if i have to send it back in.
thank you very much

  • Macbook pro wont shutdown

    macbook pro wont shutdown

    Holding the power button for 10+ seconds should shut it down.  But that stops all processes, including active read/write activity, mid-step.  Yuor system may not restart because the OS (not the disk drive itself) could be corrupted.
    Try option-command-esc to bring up a list of application to force-quit, that way only certain applications are forcibly stopped instead og the entire OS.

  • Macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart.

    macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart

    Sorry I said sorta wrong. I can shut down and I can update to the point of restart but it just sat for 45 minutes after an update. It goes through the update and to restart then the bars chase each other in a circle and it never restarts. So I hit the power button and go through normal reboot but loosing the update in the process. It does not matter how long I wait for a natural reboot after an update or click to restart it will chase the little bar in circles all day literally and never reboot.

  • The screen on my macbook pro wont stay at a steady lighting

    at random moments the screen saver on my macbook pro wont stay at a steady lightening. From time to time the lighting will turn birght and then it wil dim, randomly.
    my first instinct is that someting might be wrong with the hardware, however, i've told to reset my power center.
    How do you reset the power center on a macbook pro?

    Go to system perferences ,then click display and check if ur on auto ajust brightness this make screens changing due to lighting background,u might want to turn this off,ur decision.......or check ur energy saver beside display u might have very short settings,u can adjust both computer sleep or display sleep or in window u can see say slightly dim the display while on battery power,u might want to put this tick out....u hav selection of choices.....

  • Macbook pro wont connect to internet using cable, but connects using wifi fine

    My macbook pro wont connect to the internet using a cable, but connects using wifi fine.  I use wifi at home but sometimes need to use my laptop at work and connect using a cable but it says i'm not connected to the internet?

    Can you open a terminal and invoke the following commands:
    ping -c 10 localhost
    and
    ping -c 10 google.com
    You should normally get something like:

  • New macbook pro wont accept password

    I moved everything over from my i5 MBP to a new i7 via utilities migration assistant. However the new macbook pro wont accept my password, nor will it recognise the other user account passwords. Works fine on the i5.
    In Disc Utilities, change password asks me to select an image, but does not light up "change" when I select user.
    Any ideas?

    Is you new MBP the 2010 model or is it a newer model running Mountain Lion?
    If it's a newer model running ML, you can simply boot into your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when you get to the Recovery window, select Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type
    resetpassword
    and hit Return. A small app will open that will allow you to change the password for the user that you select. Then just reboot and use the new password.
    If, indeed, you're running 10.6.4, you'll need the installation disc to use the Reset password utility.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Macbook Pro not reading DVDs

    My Macbook Pro will read CDs but not DVDs or executable DVDs. Is it a setting or hardware problem?

    I've had my MBP since September 09, watched many area 4 dvds, but 6 months ago it started having problems w dvd's... either it would take forever to recognize the movies, or would just spin in the computer... not even ejecting. I recently purchased the family pack of Snow Lepoard 10.6.3, to catch my Mac Pro up to date, and also hoping my MBP's dvd problems would be fixed... no go! The MBP won't even read the Leopard install dvd!!!!!!! It spins for a few minutes, then ejects (well, at least it ejects, bc any movies I put now, just spin for hours). I thought if I copied the contents of the Leopard to pendrive, and then from there installed it, perhaps it'd work. No go. I tried reading the dvd from my Mac Pro, using the mac pro as a slave via firewire to my MBP. No Go. Just says that "Instal MAC OSx cannot be used from this volume". Ok, so perhaps this is not the right way to go about this, but obviuosly there is a real problem w the MBP dvd drive. The only disks the MBP reads are audio cds. From what I read here, many people are having problems w MBP dvd drives... Mac needs to get a solution to us quick! I havn't tried a cleaning disk, bc I afraid I'll never get the disk out of my MBP... I mean if it won't read the OSx install disk, imagine what a disk w little feathers on it will do.. probably explode my laptop! What a bumber this is turning out to be!!!! I will try compressed air, but I doubt it will have an effect. Any other ideias?

  • Macbook pro stopped reading the default wifi

    For the past couple of days, my MacBook pro stopped reading my default wifi, although it can pick up signals from my neighbours. None of my other devices has this problem (ipad, iMac). It does not matter whether the MacBook pro is placed close to the wireless router or not. I have tried restarting, it worked at first and now it doesn't even read any signal from my router. What should I do?

    System Preferences>Network>Advanced. Drag your network to the top of the list. Check the box, "Remember networks this computer has joined." Delete the networks you don't want from the list. Click OK, then click Apply.

  • My macbook pro wont do anything and it is just blowing air out the back

    my macbook pro wont do anything it is using its fan rapidly

    Try Reseting the PRAM, It should fix the Problem.
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
        Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Macbook pro wont load, just gets to a white screen with apple logo

    Hello,
    I put my Mac to sleep last night. I am trying to turn it on now but it won't load.
    The bar comes up at the bottom, fills about 20%, dissapears and then the spinny globe stays there forever, it will not load.
    I have tried booting up by holding shift or x and no change.
    Worthy of note, I installed leopard also last night.
    Ive tried putting the leopard disc in, its being read but nothing changes on screen.
    Ive tried holding command + p + r.
    Ive tried unplugging, replugging.
    Holding alt and choosing boot from disc or efi boot goes to the same white screen.
    Holding c makes the disc drive make alot of noise, same white screen with nothing happening.
    Nothings happening
