My very new MacBook Pro will not acknowledge that I have my camera plugged in, so I am unable to download any pictures.

     This year for Christmas I recieved the newest version of the MacBook Pro. It has worked perfectly, until today. I went to download pictures off of my camera on to my computer, and the computer would not acknowledge that anything was plugged in. I tried each USB port, I restarted and shut down the computer several times, I left it in for a while without touching it, I tried logging in as a guest user, and I tried using a Card Reader instead of the camera cord. But absolutely nothing worked.
     I found that the problem wasn't the camera cord or camera, because I tried plugging it into a different MacBook Pro and it worked just fine. I had the computer plugging in the entire time so it couldn't have been that the computer was just low on power. The really weird thing is I tried to plug my iphone into my computer and that worked fine.
     Has this ever happened to anyone before? Can you give me some advice? I am very frustrated because this computer is basically brand new and its supposed to be a very high quality computer.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

    My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

    The port can fail. Internal boards can fail. Batteries can fail. All with the result that no charging occurs. 
    You can try Resetting the System Management Controller and you can try Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. 
    But usually you will have to take the mac in to a service place for testing.  It can get expensive, although occasionally it is not.

  • I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating sys

    I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating system. I do not have a back up of all my applications, my garageband music and other things. I also do not have time capsule set up on this machine, but I do have a 2 TB time capsule.
    Is there anyway to back up this corrupted drive so I can restore my applications later?

    There's an old saying.  If you don't have a backup disc, then there must be nothing important to backup.  That's just lesson #1.  Lesson #2 is to never interrupt a software update.  Not a good thing.
    OK, I'm sure you know this.  It just upsets me to read your story, knowing you have a lot of important stuff on your hard drive, and didn't use time machine.
    You're pretty much in a bad place.  My only hope for you is to boot to your Installation Disc, then using disk utility see if you can save the internal hard drive (by fixing what can be fixed).  You might be able to see your user folder and some of your apps.  I wouldn't even consider copying the library, because who knows what's been corrupted in there.
    Good luck.

    We've used the 400 to 800 firewire cables with limited success in the past...dropped frames was the main problem. Only used them until the Sonnet FireWire PCIe Card came in to allow a 400 firewire.

  • My new macbook pro will not accept my wep password

    I'm trying to connect my new macbook pro to my wireless Century Link Router and it will not accept the exact same password that my PC uses.  What am I doing wrong?

    It's "broken" as in "insecure". It's not useless, but, these days, it's the next thing to useless.
    you should use either WPA or WPA2
    Absolutely. As the KB article indicated by Linc Davis says
    "Do not use WEP unless it is the only Wi-Fi security type that your device supports, and be aware that it is now very unsecure."

  • New Macbook Pro will not let me login

    I have a fairly new Macbook Pro.  When I turn it on, the Apple screen comes up, then the user icons.  I can move the cursor just fine, but when I try to click on my user icon, the computer doesn't respond when I click on the icon.  This is an intermittent problem, and has just started happening in the past two weeks.  I have to shut the computer down by holding the on/off switch down, then restart, hoping it will work.
    I took it to the Apple Store Genius bar and they ran a diagnostic on it last weekend.  Clean as a whistle, and of course, it worked just fine there.
    Any suggestions or ideas about what could be wrong?  I have Bootcamp and can access Windows on it, no problem.  This seems to be an iOS problem.

    Tapping to click is not the default behavior of the trackpad, and doesn't work in the login screen or in Recovery. You have to physically click the trackpad button by depressing it.

  • Old Mac running Mountain Lion 'sees' Canon IP5000, new MacBook pro will not. No driver available from canon. Is there a way of transfering whatever is working from old mac to new?

    I have two older macs running Mountain Lion that have been upgraded over the years from Leopard. They have continued to be able to print to a Canon IP5000 and use a driver that is fully functional. On the new MacBook Pro, the printer is found, but no driver is available for Mountain Lion from apple or Canon. Is there a way of getting the driver info from the old mac so that it will work on the new one?

    Sorry, it says "New Event," not "New Entry." My bad.

  • New Macbook Pro will not shut down.

    Hi,
    So I just got a new Macbook Pro four days ago from the Apple store and I'm already running into a little bit of trouble, that being my macbook will not shut down. Once I open the shut down window, the normal countdown that comes with it usually will not appear and I am incapable of clicking the shut down button. I have not downloaded anything onto my mac besides Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flashplayer, and a pdf document of my receipt from the apple store. I have burned some of my music CDs into itunes and browsed the web (nothing fishy; just some shopping, movie streaming from netflix and youtube, and reading articles online published by universities). Should I take the computer to the Apple store or is this something I can fix on my own?
    Thanks so much

    If I were you I'd take it back to the Apple store and let someone at the Genius Bar take a look at it. The worst case is you made an extra trip, but at least this way you can exchange it immediately if there's a problem. You only have a 14 day window for this, might as well take advantage of it.
    The only other thing I can suggest is to open the Force Quit option from the Apple icon in the upper left corner. See if there are any apps that show Not Responding. If there are any like that, force quit them then try to shut down.

  • My new Macbook Pro will not recognize my iphone in itunes...

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and was able to get all my files and such from my old computer, which was a Macbook about 4 years old. But the problem now is that when I plug in my iphone to the new computer it will not recognize the phone in my itunes. I authorized the computer for my itunes account and everything is updated I'm pretty sure... so how can I get my new computer to "accept" my iphone?

    You can post in the iPhone forums:

    They handle that issue on a daily basis.

  • My new macbook pro will not boot up

    How can I get my Macbook pro to bootup?  I turn it on and it acts like it is loading and then it shuts down.

    Sorry genius.....but if the Recovery disk shows up that means the disk cable isn't bad.  Could be he did have a screwed up HDD and when he put the NEW HDD in (after putting the OS on it via USB) the computer didn't reconize it and therefore didn't boot the OS.  Just maybe right genius?  Don't rush to criticize someone's recommendations until you realize other possibilities.  (I did say "if it does")
    Thank you

  • New MacBook Pro will not start

    I was updating Adobe Illustrator CS3 last night. Seemed to be going fine until it stalled, the screen flickered on and off and then the display just went completely blank. The computer seemed to go off as well. When I tried to restart it I got nothing - not a "bong" or anything. I plugged it back up with the AC outlet and tried to start it after it fully charged again - nothing. The green light is on like it is charged and the white light on the front is glowing steady. Just before I started the update, the camera was not working and I had to restart the computer to get it to work.
    I bought this unit brand new as a Christmas present to myself this past December. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Sounds like a hardware failure, contact AppleCare immediately and they will help you out. You are covered by 90 days of free telephone support so you have time left. The number in the US is 800-275-2273. Please let us know how it turns out.
    You can also make an appointment at your local Apple Store to bring it in however because you're in Kentucky I don't think there are any really close so I'd recommend the AppleCare route.

  • New Macbook Pro will not charge.

    I have a 13" MacBook Pro that was purchased new about a month ago. Today, I noticed that it wasn't charging. I plugged it into a couple different outlets, but the indicator light on the power cord won't come on at all. Any ideas why? Thanks for your time.

    call AppleCare and see if they can troubleshoot it for you since this service is free to you for the first 90 days you own a new mac.
