Mac Book Pro won't wake when its been charging.
I have had this problem for some time now. When I charge my Mac Book Pro over night. The next time I use it, It won't wake up for sleep mode and I have to restart the computer. Was wondering if there has been problems with this too. If so is thier a fix for this. I'm running MacBook Pro (mid 2012) with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9).
This is a BUG in Mavericks and or the Mac hardware. It goes into Standby mode after an extended period of inactivity and then Crashes when trying to come out of Standby mode completely Hanging the system and making you have to Restart it.
There is quit a long thread on this subject. -
Hello, the fan in my 2 year old Mac Book Pro 13" is running a lot lately. Why could that be? My HD is pretty full.

What about my existing software like parallels on my old mac book pro when I want to use that software on a new mac book pro I am ready to buy ???
Your new MacBook Pro won't run PPC programs. For Parallels you need to update to the latest version 7.

I wonder if Apple took up the old mac book pro if we bought a new one, and if yes so how much?
I wonder if Apple took up the old mac book pro if we bought a new one, and if yes so how much? I have a 2009.
If the old MBP is working, try selling it. However, so that both you and the buyer can avoid sleepless nights, please review this Apple article:
What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
It omits one important thing if the computer came with a OS version older than Lion 10.7: be sure to include the original install disks. Otherwise the buyer may not be able to use the computer and come looking for his money. -
imported a slide on my old mac book pro to my iTune i had on it, but it got a new one how can i get my old iTune back with that slide i imported
If this is a question about syncing with iTunes, you might want to post it over in the iTunes forum.

I have a new mac book pro/LION and can't access my back up data when I click on "enter time machine". I need the back up data that I could access on my old mac book pro (that is now broken). I can only access time machine back up data that I've obtained since starting the new mac book pro. Tnx so much
Try doing a click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks".
By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject. In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that. -
My Mac book pro won't re-start. The apple sign stays on for a while, that little circle keeps spinning and nothing happens. After 10 minutes rebooting the screen turned blue and nothing was on. now I just re-tried and lots of pixels came up. what should I do? Thanks anyone.

My Mac book pro won't charge. But the connector is plugged in and shows that its charging but it says it has 0% but if I unplug it it will shut off. It's been like this all day but I didn't notice till I turned it on.
It's either a power adapter issue (not likely) or (more likely) a power supply problem on your MBP. Take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem.
Good luck,

Upgrading from OSX 10.4.9 to OSX 10.6.8 on old Mac Book Pro (2nd computer)
Greetings
I was wondering what the steps and cautions are to upgrade from OSX 10.4.11 on an old Mac Book Pro (2nd computer for shared use in household for emails, etc.) 2.33 Inel Core 2 Duo to OSX 10.6.8 or highest that I can?You will need to get a 10.6 Snow Leopard retail disk which I don't think are still available from Apple.
Google "buy mac 10.6 snow leopard" to get an idea of current pricing. You'll need updates to10.6.8 in order to upgrade to 10.7 (the early core duo MBPros can not do this) or possibly 10.8 but check the exclusion list to be sure.
MacTracker can give you all the details. http://mactracker.ca/ -

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your Mac and into iTunes.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once you have successfully done that you can go ahead and choose Erase and Sync when you plug your iPod in.

I have purchased the last Creative Suite available on disk. It will load on my old Mac Book Pro. I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and just realized there is no place to put a disk. Is there any way to load the programs to my new computer?
Buy an external optical drive such as the Apple USB SuperDrive that is made specifically for that model.
Use the optical drive of your old MBP to clone the DVDs to USB flash drives, then install from the flash drives.
Connect both computers to your local network and then share the optical drive to install the software. -
selling my old mac book pro. I need to delete everything on the hard drive. any ideas ?I do not have the boot disks.
If the Mac came w/system DVDs, you will need to obtain them prior to selling.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

I have a 15 inch mac book pro running osx 10.5.8. I recently moved to Florida and switched to Comcast (the only option). Now when I access my bank website, I can get past the login to my account page but the data is permanently unavailable. The bank says no one else has this problem. Everything is up to date as far as software is concerned. . .I just update anything that comes up. I have not had this problem with this computer anywhere else and I am not having a problem with any other website. I have the problem with both Safari and Google Chrome.

ipad is asking for a passcode which I never installed. iPad is now disabled. Tried syncing to itunes with my mac book pro, won't sync. How do I fix this?
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
