My new Macbook Pro 13 keeps minimizing full screen applications and sending me back to the desktop. Any Help?

I can't stay in full screen applications without being returned to the desktop within 30 seconds. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or can assist
I am testing it without running any applications other than safari in full screen. It act like it is "swiping" me back to the desktop screen. I am not touching my trackpad or keyboard.
Thanks,
Corey

Do you have Google Drive installed? At the following thread at least one person had a similar issue as you: for more details please check out this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5526061?tstart=0

I just got a brand new 13" Macbook pro with Lion and the battery life is terrible. i just got a brand new macbook pro 13in a few weeks ago and everything is fine except the battery life is terrible!

i have seen many other threads about this, but i just want to know if anyone has found a fix that actually works? or do i just need to wait for apple to send a fix in their next update?

Suppose you elaborate on what you are doing with the MBP that makes the battery life terrible.

Hi...
Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

You'll need to use a wired (USB) keyboard.

I just bought a brand new macbook pro with retina one week ago and have used it twice. I noticed that I now have a scratch on the screen a small one yet a scratch. You can't feel it yet you can see a tiny black dot then what appears to be a small scratch.

i Just bought a new macbook pro with retina a week ago and used it twice, now it appears i have a tiny black dot on the screen with a nice tiny scatch. Will apple fix my screen since it is only a week old?

Have a good night down there in that 70-80 degree weather. I just shovelled my driveway earlier. Ugh.

Brand new macbook pro keeper keeps freezing

Hello,
I got a brand new macbook pro less than a week ago and already it is acting up. It keeps making these clicking sounds that seem to originate from the top right corner of the keyboard (where the power button is). Also, I'm constantly getting the spinning rainbow wheel, even though the only applications I have open are pages and safari. When the spinning wheel starts, I can't even access force quit. I tried rebooting my computer but things are still freezing (even now I'm getting the wheel every couple of words that I type). This is all very frustrating. I feel like this shouldn't be happening, especially based on how much I paid for this computer. I also tried running the 'verify disk permissions' in disk utility and it came up with a bunch of problems (I don't know if that's normal or not)
Help?

Make an appointment online at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store and take it in. They should be able to get you going.

Brand New MacBook Pro keeps freezing

I have had my brand new MacBook Pro for about four months now and out of the blue, it will freeze up for about a minute or so randomly with no warning. I have run Disk Utility already along with restarting it, but it still freezes. Any ideas on to what is causing it?
Thanks!
Dave

Impossible to say without any information. You may want to keep Activity Monitor open (Applications-Utilities-Activity Monitor) and see if there is anything that uses a lot of % CPU and/or RAM. Check to see how much free RAM you have, if it's below 500MB that could be a problem, it simply means you are using all the available RAM.
Your machine is covered by the warranty too, so you may want to visit your local Apple Store and have a Genius look it over.
BTW when posting a problem, please let us know exactly what you are doing when the problem occurs, including what apps, version numbers etc. and specifics about your computer. Something like, "Yesterday afternoon and this morning while using Excel (Office 2011) on my 2010 15" MBP with 4GB RAM and 500GB HD my system......" That way we have the who, what and when.

Your help is really appreciated"

Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.

I just got a new Macbook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and lost all my songs on my iPod. How do I get them back?

I just got a new MacBook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and noticed all my songs didn't transfer, including the 6 new ones I just purchased. I then brought it back to my PC to sync, and lost all my songs on my iPod. I'm now receiving all kinds of weird messages that the name of my iPod is a duplicate and cannot be synced (no matter what I put in it). During the process of loading it on my Mac., a bunch of odd emails were popping up to sync. I just kept deleting and adding mine. Is it corrupted? What have I done??? I am a personal trainer and live by my iPod. Please help.

Your post is abit confusing, especially on getting those weird messages and emails,( assumed in your Windows machine.)
Most likely you have Restored the iPod using the new Macbook pro, using the same name as that in your Windows machine, hence the duplicate name warning, as it is trying to sync Automatically.
If you are syncing your iPod to both the Mac and Windows, you must set it to Manually Manage Music, in the first machine that you setup iTunes with the iPod. Read thsi Apple Support Article
In iTunes, Preference, tick on Prevent devices syncing automatically
Hopefully your music are still in both your iTunes library,
Connect the iPod to the Mac
Restore it (just to fix any filesystem corruption by the Windows end)
Set it to Manually Manage Music
Sync your selected songs in your library.
Whern sync complete, Eject it
Connect it to your Windows PC.
Select the song in the library
Sync it.
It should work if your ipod Hardisk is not giving any problem.
Good luck!

Macbook pro had a full startup disc and crashed

Hi, need help! My macbook pro had a full startup disc and crashed, I have since deleted a lot of files to clear space (23gb+) but now I can only get it to boot up in safe mode. I've run disc utility and the HD is fine also ticked all the login items to disable them (I think) in the Users and Groups. It did reboot normally once after doing this but soon froze up again after 5 or 10 mins. I think it is a 3rd party extension issue but how do I find it?

"Ticking" the login item only hides it. It's still loading. You need to select it then click the - sign. You should probably start there, the other stuff is more involved.

I have a question? I update my macbook pro but every time I do and I go back to where it says software update it says that if I want to update my pro I just did, and Im using Mac Os X snow leopard is it that I have to upgrade to lion?

It also says view updates, so select that option and see what it wants to update.

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to 10.6.8 today and now it hard crashes the OS when I plug in my iHome USB Keyboard!!!

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to 10.6.8 today and now it hard crashes the Operating System when I connect my iHome USB keyboard. I get a window that states I must press the power button until the computer shuts down and then restart. On reboot sends Panic Report to Apple with lots of USB error type stuff in it. WORKED FINE UNTIL I UPGRADED TO 10.6.8 TODAY.

How do I recover a "complete" folder and place it back onto the desktop screen.

This has to be a common problem experienced by all Mac desktop users. I placed
an entire blue "file folder" (the common blue folders with tab) into the "trash" and
cannot take it out or delete it. I did it by accident because I wanted to "delete" a small
file, within the "entire blue folder". Apparently I put the "whole folder" in the "trash" instead
and now cannot take it out.
I have an exact copy on my desktop already, but I don't want to delete this folder that I
placed in the "trash". For now, I just want to recover it and put it back onto the desktop.
I don't mind having two copies for now.
To be extra clear, this is the usual blue "file folder" that contains "favorites", "shared", and "devices".
Within these are "all my files", "desktop", "your personal files", "applications", etc., etc.
Within these are "photos", "albums", "pictures", "video", and miscellaneous subsets of files.
This "entire" folder containing all these items are now in the trash.
I need to know a simple "step by step" process or instructions on how to take all this
out of the trash and to put it back on the desktop where I can see it on my computer screen
as a blue "file folder".
I'm not very computer knowledgeable except to use the internet and knowing how to use
data entry software.
So it would be important to explain to me "step by step". Any small detail left out and I might mess up.
I know there must be a simple way of doing this. All I see now is a pile of papers in the "trash" bin and
no way to get out my "file folder"
I appreciate all your help.
Thank you very much.

You cannot take a folder out of the Trash to your Desktop without erasing the one on the Desktop. You need to first change the name of the folder on the Desktop. Or you can open the folder that's in the Trash and drag the files onto the Desktop assuming there aren't too many of them.
But if you have a duplicate on the Desktop why do you need to remove the one that's in the Trash?
If you feel you must take the folder out of the Trash, then you need to rename the duplicate that's on your Desktop.
If you wish to put the folder back where it was when you deleted it, then open the Trash window, select the folder, then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select "Put Back" from the context menu.
