    Welcome to the forum.
    First thing that I would do would be to look at this Adobe KB Article to see if it helps.
    Next, I would try the tips in this ARTICLE.
    If that does not help, a Repair Install would definitely be in order.
    Good luck,

  • Need some help with Macbook Pro A1260

    I purchased a non working MacBook Pro from Ebay as way to try out servicing Apple hardware along with the Windows hardware I service.
    I have been able to get the laptop to power up, but only in an odd way.  By reflowing the logic board it will now start up, but only in certain order.
    If I reset the SMC by pressing the power button for 20 seconds and than connect the power supply and still holding in the power button for an additional 20 seconds it starts when I release the power button.  I can turn it off and on until I unplug it and plug it back in.  When I do that it will not start again, if I perform the same SMC reset procedure it will work and turn on.  During this time the light on the power connector is off.  When it is LIT it will not start.  I also get just a white screen and no Apple logo.  It will also boot directly from the harddrive.  The problem is that the drive is a windows OS drive.  I put the drive in to see if the logic board would see it.
    This machine was shipped to me without the hard drive and without the recovery disks.
    Now as I understand it, unlike Windows and Linux you cannot boot from an install disk for the OS with an Apple product, is that correct?  That means I'm stuck here without the recovery disks?
    When I first reflowed the logic board it booted to the apple logo then asked what to boot.  It seemed to boot fine and show the apple logo a couple times but now it is not.  I did start it up prior to getting it completely installed in the machine.  Should I try the reflow again?  Is it possible to get the recovery disks from Apple?  The apple store near by was not very helpful.  The person at the door was a little condescending, "it's nice to try and save a little money", "wow that's an old piece of hardware",  He totally missed the point that this an exercise in education.  I'm trying to learn how to help people when they cannot afford to purchase a new machine.  The same thing I do for Windows PC users.
    Thank you for any and all suggestions and assistance.  I look forward to recovering this and checking out what the Mac users have telling me for years.

    Ogelthorpe suggested that I add my two cents here.
    This site is a wonderful accurate resource for a Lot of information about every Mac ever issued. The link is directly to the MacBook you seem to have:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2 .4-15-early-2008-penryn-specs.html
    Your Mac initially runs the Power On Self Test. When that test passes, the chime is generated by software. If a reliable source of software can be found, booting is likely. If it fails only due to memory, the power light will flash a deliberate pattern (not just flickering), and it may also beep in a similar fashion. This indicates "not enough working RAM to start up", so in some cases, you will want to remove all the memory and look for those flashes.
    The simplest boot-up procedure any Mac can do is to boot up while you hold the Alt/Option key. This runs a ROM-resident routine which draws a pale blue or gray screen, and over the next several minutes, explores all possible addresses looking for all possible appropriate source of appropriate software. If any are found, an Icon is drawn for each, and its name will be listed underneath. The mouse can be used to select one and click the arrow to proceed. Mac OS X can boot from any attached device, such as a USB stick or external (self-powered) DVD Reader or External Hard Drive.
    The gray Apple in not resident inside your Mac's Hardware. Its loading indicates an appropriate source of software was found, and the first blocks of the boot loader were successfully transferred into memory. Hanging with the gray Apple on the screen indicates it failed while trying to run the loaded blocks of the Boot Loader.  With certain extremely rare graphics issues, the gray Apple can appear scrambled like a puzzle.
    Many system functions, including fan and temperature control, charging, system clock generation and low level inputs such as keyboard presses are handled by the System Management Controller SMC. Resetting the SMC in case it has gotten into an odd state is vital to debugging.
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If you removed the motherboard for baking, you may have seen the MagSafe charge board. These sometimes need replacement if there have been serious power problems previously, and are available as spare parts from the sources mentioned in posts above. Most other components are soldered in place, and in much later models, the RAM chips are soldered in place as well.
    Mac OS X 10.6 uses the Installer/Utilities DVD to do auxiliary functions. Once you move to 10.7 and beyond, these are moved to the Recovery_HD partition on the Hard drive. Once installed, you can copy your Recovery_HD to a 1 GB USB stick using an Apple Utility, which can be booted independently. Macs after about 2011 (except the silver tower Mac Pro) have added the ability in firmware to get this stuff off the Internet via common WiFi set-ups. They can, from a cold dead start, download the stuff needed for Utilities and Installs.
    If you download 10.7 or later form the Mac App store, you can make an Installer/Utilities USB stick on an 8GB stick. Making a dual-layer DVD is also possible, but is not as popular because it takes so long to boot up and install off a DVD. You must intervene in the process to make such an image. It must be done after the download is complete, and before the Installation has finished, because the Install package is deleted at the end of the Install. You can steer this or any Install to nay attached and properly-initialized drive.
    There is no EXPLICIT copy protection on Mac OS X tools and images, but when downloaded, all will be tagged with the Apple-ID you supplied, and any re-load will require that same Apple-ID and password, or the new owner will need to download their own fresh copy using their own Apple-ID. If you are working mostly for a single client organization, you can ask them to provide their preferred Apple-ID, or create one and provide it to them to be used for their overall Mac APP Store purchases. Once purchased (even for $0), items in the Mac App Store appear on the Purchases page of the logged in Apple-ID, promised as "forever".
    Windows does not believe there are any other Operating Systems in existence, so it limits you to booting from the Internal drive, limits the number of partitions that can be created to a total of four, and as its crowning achievement: should you use ANY Windows tools to directly modify or even resize disk partition information, the Apple Partition information is lost, and Mac OS X can no longer boot. Windows is a terrible guest.

  • Please help with Macbook Pro

    Please read my story because I really need some help...
    I've had my Macbook Pro for only a little over a year now but it has already given me tons of problems and headaches. I was very happy when I first got it but over the next few months I noticed strange things with it. For instance, the lid is slightly bent but not so much that it still looks ordinary when closed. I was annoyed with it but I tolerated it since it is not that disruptive. Then dust appeared underneath a small part of the screen, forming a rather conspiscuous, slightly discolored spot. Again I was annoyed but I just went with it. And then after only 5 months after purchase, something related to the hard drive broke. I think the ribbon cable that was connecting it to the motherboard died or something. It was still under warranty so it was easily fixed. A few months passed without incidents. Then a month after its warranty expired, it started to have kernel panics every single day. Most of the time the screen would just become a mass of messed up colors and nothing would respond. Sometimes the screen just went black and then the computer shuts itself down. Other times the computer just freezes with nothing responding and I have to force shut it down. I sent it to an Apple service center and had it diagnosed. The genius said that the hard drive is damaged and needs replacing but other components are still fine. So I bought a new hard drive and had it replaced. For a few weeks, the problem seem to have gone but soon, the kernel panics started again and occurred more frequently. After days of research I finally found out the problem is RAM related. I tested each stick and each slot and concluded that the bottom ram slot was busted. The Apple Service Center offered no help but to replace the motherboard (or logic board). I cannot go with this because I already spent a ton of money in purchasing the computer. I also could not get Apple Care because it is very expensive and I had no ability to spend more. So I resorted to just buying a single 4gb ram stick and tried to live with only one ram slot. I thought that I could finally relax and try to enjoy the computer even with all of its annoyances. But only a few days ago the Wifi just turned itself off and won't turn on. Only after a restart will it start working again. I tried to tolerate it but it keeps turning itself off just minutes after I turn the computer on. I suspect that it might be a hardware problem (again) because the same thing is also happening with my Bootcamp partition; wifi disconnects and will not reconnect. Bluetooth also is not working anymore. I know that this is a vague question but I'm desperate. Is there anything at all that I can do in order to fix all of the problems and prevent all sorts of headaches? I feel that I have tolrated enough and I just can't take it anymore. I want to have it replaced but I do not know how I am going to do that without Applecare (which again is very expensive for someone like me). Please help me. I do not want to go back to normal, less expensive PC's. If this keeps up then I will be forced to do so because it is very expensive to buy another macbook.

    Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience but I do not think you can get AppleCare at this point in time.
    Can I purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan anytime?
    You can purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan anytime within the one-year limited warranty period. Your eligibility for coverage under the AppleCare Protection Plan starts from your hardware purchase date. Apple strongly recommends that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan when you purchase your Apple product to maximize the additional benefits provided under the plan.
    You will most likely need to try to sell the mac for a parts machine and consider a PC. You may wish to explore Apple refurbished Macs that have a warranty of a1 year.
    There are also many sellers of used Macs but since there aren't any extended warranties it is some what risky.

  • Kernal Panic Help with Macbook Pro 2010

    Hello fellow Kernal Panic enthusiasts.
    I've had random panics more frequently on a Macbook Pro 2010. I've tried correcting permissions, resetting PRAM etc. It seem to happen at random, sometimes with flash (which has been disabled by default) in Chrome. Other occasions its completely random when using the finder, etc. Chrome crashes frequently, and again at random. Same happens for Firefox and Safari – it seems to be whichever I am using most frequently There's no way to repeat the panic.
    Thank you for the help/suggestions in advance.

    Pace is a copy protection software for some third party program your running, it's for Snow Leopard and this issue has appeared here before and once today even.
    Quark Inc was here about their driver, so check them for a update.
    Take note of the softwares above, your going to be reinstalling some of them from fresh sources and updating.
    Run through the Steps 1-8 here and see if that solves your problem.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Disable all at login/boot softwares.
    Yes some third party software mentioned above is not going to work as #8 Reinstall Just OS X will kick their parts out of OS X itself (but not out of Applications), but what you do is reinstall them one at a time, when it's been updated and verified to work with your OS X verison. (uninstall using the developers program or instructions, do not use AppDelete type software)
    Take your time and if problems come back you know it's the last one installed is at fault.
    The object with #1-8 is to make sure machine and OS X is fine, then decide from there what third party software is at fault.
    If your problems continue despite the above software not being run or installed, then proceed with the further Steps #9-16 in the hunt for the real cause.
    Chrome has been known to cause problems around here, it runs a root level updater for all Google software, it's hard to remove and one has to not use any Google software to prevent it being reinstalled.
    Good luck in your process of elimination.

  • Need help regarding "Macbook Pro Distorted Video or No Video issues"

    Hi there, I'm new and I'm kinda need help or opinion from all of you Mac users.
    I have a MPB which is the first generation released 2005-2006, which its 4 years back. Now, the main problem is after 4 years of non-graphic problems, I encounter the NVIDIA graphics processor problems, which make my screen scrambled and unable to click or do anything. For some reason that Apple did say they will change/replace the graphic processor for free due faulty issue of the NVIDIA. But what I wanted to know and reconfirm is, since my MPB was 1st generation and version 2005/06, will Apple cover the change/replacement NVIDIA processor for free? Because I really need to have a confirmed answer before I went to the AASP in Malaysia, which I know they will make a fuss by asking me to pay with my previous incident which my battery deflect and charger/adapter melted. So, please kindly reply this post. Thank you for you time.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    How about printing out the Apple article about this and taking it with you?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    However, if you really do have the first MBP introduced in January 2006, it actually has a different video chip, the ATI Mobility Radeon X 1600, which unfortunately is not the NVIDIA chip covered by the NVIDIA program. So if that's what you have, you are out of luck for a free repair. ATI Mobility Radeon chips can also go bad, but there is no program that I know of that will cover them.
    Sorry to not have better news for you.
    Good luck!

  • Need help with Go Pro Hero 3 and Premiere Pro CS6

    Hello,
    I recently acquired PP CS6. I put my clip (30 seconds long) and I go to preview while editing, for the first 1.5 seconds it is fine but then it is very choppy. The audio is fine but the video does not play smoothly. When I save and process the video it is fine. It is frustrating to try to edit video this way. I'm sure I'm missing a step when creating the project but I haven't used Premiere Pro since CS6. This is only happening with Go Pro Hero 3 videos, any of my other cameras are fine. Any ideas? Thanks

    There's a lot of confusion over how video encoding affects subsequent editing performance - a higher data rate has no direct relation to how much effort is required to decode and play the footage, in fact a higher data rate often makes playback easier - which is why transcoding to AVI can help with playback even though the files can be hundreds of times larger. Data rates with the same codec depend on the frame contents and recording quality, but for playback and editing what matters is the GOP (group-of-pictures) structure and the complexity of the encoding algorithm. Provided your disks are fast enough the data rate is immaterial to Premiere.
    With long-GOP files (as typically created by consumer DSLRs and helmet cams) we have keyframes (I-frames) with a complete set of pixel data, then a series of intervening P- and B-frames which only store the difference between 'now' and 'one frame before' or 'one frame after'. Unless you're on an I-frame you have to calculate the chain of differences from the nearest I-frame, and when editing or applying an effect we must  re-calculate the entire GOP, so Premiere has to hold a lot of data in the buffer. Remember all timelines in Premiere are internally transcoded to 32-bit floating point, so it's more work to 'play' the footage in the monitors than would be done by a simple playback-only application such as VLC, or in some other brands of NLE that only work in the footage's color space. Premiere's hardware acceleration (MPE) only kicks in once the buffer has been ingested, all the decoding of the original H.264 frames happens in your CPU.
    With digital cinema cameras and some hacked DSLRs, we record "all-I" footage - so there's no GOP overhead and playback/editing is massively smoother. I can scrub all-I footage from a hacked 7D no problem on my relatively-ancient spare laptop, but the  long-GOP files from a factory 7D struggle to play at all. Our all-I 7D footage can hit 300MBit/s compared to 35 for long-GOP. Helmet cams such as the GoPro do all they possibly can to squeeze data onto their storage cards, which means they have long-GOP codecs that have some of the most complicated compression algorithms out there. The Hero3's implementation of H.264 uses the Ambarella chip, whose files are very small but an utter nightmare to decode - hence far more of a demand on your CPU than an equivalent clip from a DSLR.
    Jim Simon wrote:
    Might be the 35 Mbps that is causing the choppy playback.
    It shouldn't, assuming sufficient hardware.  My GH2 clips often get up to over 90 Mb/s and play just fine on an older i7 920.

  • I need help with Quicktome Pro

    Hi
    Is there anyone that can help me by explaining in details how to edit TV shows with Quicktime Pro. Or, is there a better tool to edit .mpg files, in the mac world ?
    Thanks

    QuickTime Pro can't edit any muxed file format (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash) and can only convert the video portion of the file to other formats.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) can edit those files and convert them to QuickTime formats.

  • Need help with Macbook reinstall on new hard drive!

    Hey Everyone!
    So my old MacBook A1181 was damaged a bit in a fall from a shelf. I followed all the directions on PowermacMedic (bless them!) and put in a new LCD screen, as the old one was cracked. Cleaned a lot of cat hair out of machine while I was at it.
    I also replaced the hard drive with a new one, because the old one had a question-mark-over-a-folder icon. I'm very proud of myself, as there are only four screws left over. LOL!
    So now it's time to reinstall the Tiger system. The optical drive is not working, so I researched on how to make an external hard drive bootable, put the Tiger Installation on that and connected it via FireWire to the old MacBook.
    Turned it on and pressed Alt/Option at the same time. Great...up popped the Tiger Installation information. I've clicked on Install, etc., and am at the point where I need to choose a destination drive. Except there is none listed.
    I've gone to Disk Utility, and I can see the new drive there, but just the icon as the major piece of hardware...there's no sub-icon for it underneath, like there usually is.
    So, any ideas on how to make my new hard drive readable so I can choose it from the Tiger Installer?
    Any help would be much appreciated. I've never even attempted to do something like this before, and I don't want to give up just yet!
    Jenny

    Do this:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    After the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

  • Need help with Premiere Pro 6 media/file management!

    I've been an Avid editor for 20+ years and understand media management in that world. I've recently learned FCP 7 and understand media management in that world.

    AVI is a file container -- not a compression format. To know what codec you need, you have to check the Finder "Information", QT "Inspector", QT 7 Pro "Properties", or similar multimedia window that will tell you what audio and/or video codec was used to encode your file. If the codec is available for the Mac, you would then download and install the specif component or component package providing the needed support. Most common AVI components are supported by the Perian component package... but not all. If you simply ant to try a "hit or miss" installation approach, then you should propably start here if you have not already installed the latest version. However, be sure to read the warnings regarding known conflicts with certain other components which now may have to be removed.
