Need help with Mac Book Pro?

When I start the mac book pro, the disk drive keeps making noise. The computer can't get any further. Its like its looking for a disc startup. I put the start up disk in there and now it doesn't do anything. Its almost as if it won't boot the hard drive. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Matt

+the disk drive keeps making noise. The computer can't get any further.+
That's sounding like a hard disc failure sadly ...
+I put the start up disk in there and now it doesn't do anything.+
Restart holding down the 'c' key to force it to Boot from the DVD, if that works select Disc Utility from the top menu bar and then 'Repair Disc' and 'Repair Permissions' on the Internal Drive. Post your results here.

  • Setup help with Mac Book Pro

    I recently bought a wre56g v3 for my gf and tried to get her to set it up.
    problem is she is on a wireless network with her appartment and due to her being on "the bad side" of the building, she does not get good signal throughout her appt. I want to setup the expander to get the signal to the rest of her apartment. 
    i cant use the CD since she is using a mac, and i dont know much about macs anyway. she dose have an old dell that i tried and it found the correct network and channel, but when it was searching for the expander it either found a diffrent SSID network (a0756030) or nothing at all (it has a very weak wireless card.
    i tried to plut it into the dell but that didnt help anything.
    Can anyone point me to directions/insturctions on setting up the wre54g with a mac book pro wirelessly?
    can you set it up on the iphone?

    What is the Model no of the Router...?
    Try this link and configure all the wireless settings on the WRE54G same as of the Router.

  • Help with mac book pro fan noise

    Hi i am having trouble with my mac book pro, the fan noise is too loud. even when i am working on only word documents. Please help

    Here we go:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Hope this helps

  • Help with Mac Book Pro Card reader

    I am hoping that maybe someone here can help me with my MacBookPro OS X 10.8.3 problem.
    All of a sudden, when I put a card from my camera into the card reader and into the computer, it says that there are 0 items.
    It worked fine last week, and now it doesn't.
    It also will not let my external hard drive work on it. When I plug it in, the icon shows up on the desk top but says that there are 0 items in it, and I know that isn't true.
    Please Help-thank you

  • Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

    Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
    It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
    I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
    So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
    I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
    I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
    I am running Lion 10.7.3.
    Regards,
    Nicolas.
    (I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

    You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
    First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

  • My camera Nikon D800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina... Why ?

    Somebody Know why my digital reflex Nikon d800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina ?

    I shoot tethered which requires that the D800 be recognized by the laptop. 
    However, I just figured it out. Nikon changed their USB protocol so that the D800 doesn't show up as a mass storage device.  That said, the d800 IS recognized by image capture and be computer in general, just not like previous Nikon dSLRs.  If you're tethering via Lightroom make sure the Nikon tethering plugin is enabled (which it may not be if you previously shot tethered with Canon).

  • Heat with mac book pro 15 need cooler

    i am searching for the right cooler for my mac book pro 15" can someone suggest it to me please

    I have the same set up, but I must be doing something wrong, because when I set up the monitor to mirror the laptop the 24" LED screen is blurry and bright. When I have it set up as dual view the 24" LED screen looks good, yet, I have to drag everything over to the larger screen.
    How do I set it up as primary screen? Or make mirror screen work?
    Thanks!!!
