    Which model MBP do you have?
    If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them.  Let them deal w/it.

  • I have an old Mac book pro which had hundreds of photos in iphoto. recently bought a new mac book air. now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!

    I have an old Mac book pro which had hundreds of photos in iphoto. recently bought a new mac book air. now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!

    now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!
    How did you search for the iPhoto Library?
    What do you mean by "is gone"?  Is the iPhoto Library missing from the Pictures folder?  Or does iPhoto launch and show and empty library, and you assume, that the library is missing?
    Which version of iPhoto is installed on your old Mac?
    Search with Find Any File for iPhoto Libraries -  download Find Any File here: The trial is free:
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.htmlhttp://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php
    You can search everywhere with FindAnyFile, where Spotlight will not search. 
    I learned this  from Old Toad , see his post here:
    Re: My iPhoto Library disappeared...how do I get it back?
    Download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the file name. These are files common to all versions of  iPhoto libraries.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

  • The mac book pro cannot detect the internal speaker. What's the possible causes? and how to fix it?

    I've connect the mac book pro to my LED TV with the headphone port as my audio output. After I disconnect it, the internal speaker did not work and the mac could not detect it from the system preference. What is the problem? Is it because of the hardware or software problem? Please help.

  • Brand new Mac Book Pro, just migrated, cannot log in

    I bought a Mac Book Pro last night.  I follwed the set up, completed a migration from my Dell, finished the set up this morning.  Now I cannot login to the Mac Book Pro and the log in page has both an apple, and a Dell icon on it.  I've tried every password associated with both the Dell PC and my Itunes account.  Any ideas?  I do not know what operating system it is using as I cannot even log into the Mac Book Pro. 

    I did try no password.  The dell Icon is still there for some reason, at this point I'm glad that Apple phone support was able to help me.  I called them and they had me do a password reset by keying "Command" and "R" simulaneously during startup.  I still have no idea how the password got messed up in the first place.

  • My mac book pro wont charge even when plugged in what is this most likely to be, my mac book pro wont charge even when plugged in what is this most likely to be

    my mac book pro wil not turn on even after being plugged in all day, the light on the charger is on a very faint green but will not power up, if anyone else has had this issue please let me no what it was, it could be the battery although my partner seems to think its the little black box the wires go in and out of
    Cheers
    Lee

    First try resetting the SMC.

    If that doesn't do it, the best thing would be to take it to the Genius Bar for a free eval. If you can't, best guesses are:
    1. The battery
    2. The charger
    3. The internal board that the power supply connects to.
    What little black box?

  • Mac Book Pro , just purchased in Singapore

    I just purchased a Mac Book MGX82ZP/AMBP 13.3/2.6 GHZ/8GB/256 GB which I want to increase to 512 GB.
    Apple says as per Policy they will not help ; I have to get it done myself
    Can Apple please reconsider; I am ready to pay and would like support from Apple

    If you bought it from an authorized retailer, then you can return it within 14 days. if you bought it elsewhere, then you're subject to whatever their return policy is. Either way, it is not considered user upgradable. It can be done, but Apple won't do it.

  • My screen won't zoom out - mac book pro (2009)

    My brother was using my laptop last night and while he was on a website he wanted to zoom in so he did the two finger thing on the trackpad. This zoomed in my whole computer screen, not just the website. I can't figure out how to get the screen back to normal. I tried the finger trick, i've tried pressing command +, i even shut the computer down and started it up again. My screen is still really zoomed in. I managed to get to system preferences, but I honestly don't have the first idea of what to do there.
    Any ideas on how to get my screen back to normal view?
    Thanks!

    Meg,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    In System Preferences click on Trackpad, then make sure all the boxes are checked in the Two Fingers section. There should be boxes for:
    Scroll, Rotate, Pinch Open & Close, Screen Zoom & Secondary Tap.
    If that doesn't work do a PRAM reset by following these instructions:

  • My screen saver on my new mac book pro stopped working.  I have rebooted, changed screen saver mode it still does not work

    My screen saver on my MacBook Pro stopped working.  I have rebooted and tried resetting the screen saver, still not working.

    We are going to delete a hidden file.
    Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type or paste
    ~/Library/Preferences
    and scroll down until you see
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    drag the one you can (may see two) to the Trash, reboot, reset your System Preferences again.

  • My mac book pro just stopped allowing sound and when i restarted it, it does not let me use any of the icons on the desktop, then allows me to use them after 3 minutes,and then still NO SOUND! What do i do? PLEASE help.

    I have an issue with my computer.  the volume was working fine on wednesday june 29th 2011 (thats the last I could remember) and today is july 3rd 2011.  so when I start the computer up it does not let me play anything trough the iTunes volume when I start a song it goes immediately to pause but no sound comes out.  When I click on the volume in the menu bar it does not allow me to raise the volume up, nor does it allow me to play volume through my speakers when I am on youtube.com. AND when I go to system preferences it has checked off that it is on mute, BUT  it is a light gray color and it does not let me check the setting off.  please help! what do I do? I think it is still under warranty because it is only between 11 months-12 months old.
    *******************************************************ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANKK YOU!*************************************************************

    That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
    Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
    Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

  • HT201402 My Mac Book Pro shows 103GB storage as "Other". What is this and can I reduce it?

    How can I reduce the storage shown as "other"?

    When Spotlight runs, it categorizes the files it indexes into the categories you're seeing (e.g., movies, photos, apps) and anything that doesn't fit into one of the categories goes into "Other." You can see what might be included in this discussion and what to do about it.
