Need help with my new Macbook

Haii there.
Got a brand new MBP some weeks ago, and has caused trouble for a week now
Offen when im just using Itunes or something like that, the music stops, program goes into retard "No responding"-mode and im stuck with the loading curser. Then i've tried to just leave it like that, but doesnt help anything, and at somepoint i have to turn off the power by holding the powerbutton down. Then when I try to start it up again i get stuck in the gray loading screen... Read some posts about this, which to me to start it up from the disc, cant make this work. When its starting and the loading bar starts it runs for a while and then turns off the computer.
I really bought a Mac because I thought the were stable for my school work, so looking for help.
Anyone out there who can help me?

First off your Macbook Pro is under Apple Care and they are obligated to fix it for ya.
If you are skeptical to to boot from Disk and run Disk Utilities then you should call Apple for their assistance.

Need help with my new Macbook Pro please!

I recently bought the new Macbook retina and I managed to copy all my email from my old mac to the new one however now whenever I receive an email, it automatically gets sent to junk, and I have to mark it as not junk each time.
It never used to do this on my old mac it was just now recently when I got this new one and I've not been able to solve this problem yet.
Also there is an annoying thing I notcied that every box when quitting any application appears to select one option of two ( I didn't know how to put it in words but hope the attachments explain what I mean )
How can I overcome the email problem as well as the other unknown problem?
Regards

Hello Andrew,
Was the reply I gave you in the other post you made of no help?
I explained that Windows ME is not compatible, but you can get it work with a little messing around, and once again, here's a link on how to do it.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME.
As I said previously though, you won't be able to use iTunes.

I need help with my new LG G2. I dial *611 but it will not recognize my phone number

I am having trouble setting up my new LG G2. When I dial *611, it will not recognize my number, and the 800 number refers me back to the *611 number. There is no live chat available on the website, so I am lost. Is this any way to run customer support?

It seems I am about the only G2 customer support you'll fund unfortunately. Chat is available on the support site after logging in to My Verizon on the web, but you have to click on Contact Us at the top right of the page then choose Live Chat and then Help with My device and then look to the right and wait for the red dot to turn green. *611 will take you to a screen where you can launch My Verizon or Click to Call which dials the customer support number. Unfortunately chat is about as useless as waiting for a rep to respond in the forums. Calling is the only way to get started and work your way up the chain. Going to a store is a hassle. What exactly is the problem you're having? You can't activate the phone or set up your Google accounts or what?

Help with Purchasing new Macbook Pro

I have decided on going with the new 17in model. What I am havening problems deciding is if I should get the 5400 or 7200 rpm drive after reading all of the posts here. I was originally going to get the 7200 but am now leaning towards the 5400. Is anyone having good luck with their 7200 drive? So I skip the 7200?

Buy the machine with the standard 500GB 5400RPM drive, and if you want a 7200RPM drive, order one yourself from an online vendor. You'll get a longer warranty on it than Apple would give you, and for only $30-40 more than the 7200 RPM drive from Apple, you'll have two 500GB drives: the 7200 RPM that you'll install internally (a ten-minute job for which the instructions are in your MBP's manual), and the 5400 RPM standard drive for use as an external backup.

Dell Inspiron Windows 2000

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (iTunes 7.0.2.16). To find the version of iTunes you have open iTunes, click Help, then About iTunes. If this does not work then follow the following instructions:
For iTunes Technical support please call 1-800-APL-CARE
or
Another problem might be that your service pack of Windows 2000 is not the latest version (Windows 2000 Service Pack 4).
I would recogmend getting Windows XP, many advantages over Windows 2000. Especially security and looks wise.

Need help with using new ipod as hard drive. please!

Hi. Has anyone had any problems using the ipod as a hard drive between two systems? I have an old 4th generation ipod which I used on my PC. That ipod worked great between macs and pcs as a hard drive. But recently it is completely screwed up. Anyway, I got a new Mac book pro and a 5th generation 60gb ipod.
Now, I'm trying to get some stuff off my pc and transfer it into my mac. In my pc it comes up in "my computer" but keeps asking me to format the hard drive whenever I do the drag and drop of files into it. I've already formatted it for my mac, but haven't put anything on it yet. So I guess I could just do that for the transfer and reformat it for the mac and then put my music on it.
I just want to know, it worked so well between mac and pc as a hard drive when originally formatted for my pc. will it not work the other way around? Will I have to keep reformatting it for the pc every time and then lose any information and all my music if I want to use it in that way? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? I would really appreciate any help at all that anyone could give me. Who really needs a 60gb anyway, if not to be able to transfer files back and forth between home and work, right?
Dell Dimension 4400/MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Windows XP on the PC

Thank you for your reply. It cleared up a lot of confusion for me. But I have one more question.
See, I looked both of those software applications up, and it seems those are to be installed on the windows operating system. My plan is to eventually stop using my PC and give it away to goodwill, however, for work purposes- which is freelance- I'd need to use the ipod as a nice small portable hard drive- I'm a photographer, and work with big files, so I need the larger space that a flash drive can't give me.
So, is there any type of mac formatting on the ipod that can also be read by the pc? Or is there a 3rd party software that can be installed on the ipod that will enable it to be read on the pc and mac while retaining its mac formatting?
If not I guess I'll just have to go back to the old and extremely inconvenient way of doing things. I really wish mac would have mentioned these things before in all their descriptions.

Need help with battery on Macbook A1181.

I have a Macbook A1181, with removable battery. I just recently did a clean install, so not sure if I have to install anything for this and that's why it's causing problems?
When I plug in the adapter I get a quick blue light then it stays orange. When I'm logged on it says (not charging) next to the battery icon. Then under Condition it says: replace now. When I first turned it on after the install it had a X through the battery icon but then 5 or 6 updates installed and I restarted and it's now giving me this problem above. Hoping something maybe needs to be re installed or something? Thanks for any help. Never dealt with Mac so clueless.

You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

Hard Drive Crash - need help with choosing new drive and installation

My hard drive seems to have crashed. My computer froze, and when I tried to reboot, it got stuck at the startup screen. I started from the system CD, ran the disk repair utility, and it said it could not repair the disk. I ran Tech Tool Pro and it could not repair the disk. I tried to start up in Target disk mode while connected to my older G4 iMac (that I'm using now as my backup), and the disk would not mount. So I need some expert advice - I am assuming the hard drive is toast. I wish I could at least mount it in target disk mode to transfer files, but I haven't been able to do that. I was going to take it in for repair (or possibly buy a new computer), but after reading some of the posts here, I am thinking I could just replace the internal hard drive with a 3.5" SATA drive.
What I need to know is am I correct about this? And is this the right kind of drive for my iMac? Are there any specifications I need to be aware of when ordering a new drive? I downloaded the manual explaining how to replace the drive and it looks doable. I would appreciate any guidance as to choosing the new drive (specific brand names/models would be great), installing the drive, and tips for formatting, etc. Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to Discussions - any 3 1/2" SATA drive will be fine, go to [macsales.com] or [smalldog.com] or [newegg.com] and choose whichever drive fits your wallet. Most of them are reliable, I have heard of problems with Seagate and Hitachi, but there are always some failures with any brand. Make sure to get a good warranty.Instructions will come with the drive, but you can download them from [Apple|http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/imac> as well.

Need help choosing a new macbook

I want to buy a small lighter macbook. I have a 15" macbook pro. i do like it despite the MANY times it has been in for repair.
I need the smaller one for travel etc. I don't think I want the Air b/c it doesn't have a burner.
That leaves the 13" Macbook. I am on my computer many hours everyday. I do have too many photos & would like a great way to edit, save, store. I also download lots of music. I have a website and store that all on my desktop b/c my Macbook Pros burner ha not worked more that it has. I have to take it for repair again.
I would spend whatever to have everything I need in it.
Pls help me choose macbook and and things i should have configured on it.
thx!

hello!
the white MBs have always been dependable for me and every at my school. they work great and the new updated graphics card in the white MBs seems to be the thing you need. if you have a ton of stuff on the MB pro, the hard drive may not be big enough on he white MB, but for the price difference of an upgrade to the aluminum one, you can buy a TB of space on an external HD. not bad. the white MB has a SuperDrive. my flute teacher has a silver MB and it has a hard time picking up AirPort signals because of the metal, so the white one is better if you intend to use the AirPort frequently.
hope that helps a bit!

p.s. here's a great case if you intend to carry around your laptop. i have it in pink and i absolutely love it!

Need help with a 2007 macbook

i just got my macbook and i went to change the settings so that i would have a password protected loggin and when i did i went to check if it worked. when i turn it on it now sends me to a blue screen that has only a loading symbol at the bottom and a gear with the words " DeploStudio Finalize script log " spelt exactly like that. none of my buttons seem to be doing anything so if anyone knows what this is and could help me out i would very much appreciate it.

Dennisc4,
It acts like you have a failed installation of something (maybe deploy studio) trying to finish. Can you get to the major top menu (the apple in the top left corner)? If so, select apple > Force Quit .. then force any running program except Finder to quit. Does that kill the problem? If so, then figure out what the bad program is and uninistall it. How to do that will depend on the program.
Good luck
P.S. Is your computer new or used?

Need help with workflow: New iMac with SSD & HDD and Pegasus Promise

Hello everyone! I've decided to upgrade my iMac and ordered an i7 with the SSD and HDD drive configuration as well as the Pegasus Promise 12TB drive. I've been researching as to what's the best way to manage both the SSD and HDD drives and I really haven't seen an end-all answer. Now with the purchase of the Pegasus Promise, I'm more confused as to what's the best approach to take. Here are my thoughts:
1. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive and the HDD for the users folder.
2. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive, the HDD for the users folder, and photos and pics onto the Pegasus.
3. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive, the Pegasus for the users folder, and the HDD for ???
4. Just use the Pegasus drive as the boot drive and use it for everything. (being that it's a RAID drive, then all my files are backed-up already)
Majority of my space-filling files are my iTunes folder, tons of pictures from using Aperture, and iMovie for videos.
Thanks in advance for everyone's input and help!

I'm working on a similar premise. i7, SSD, HDD, Promise raid, etc.
I'm nowhere near as savvy as a lot of the people here, but after a lot of research I decided that focusing on how the Pegasus gets configured is the most important for me. My concerns are for a business in photography, btw.
I can't budget the 12TB unit so I'm trying to make the most of either the R4-8tb or th R6-6tb.
I'm planning to launch the applications from the SSD. I will use the Mac HDD for typical non-photographic files, iTunes (mine's not so big), and standard fair. This is all backed up via Time Machine to a 3TB Western Digital MyBook for the time being.
As for the Pegasus, I believe I've settled on: taking an R6-6tb unit, placing the 6th drive in my firesafe from the moment I get it. Configuring the remaining 5 drives in a level 5 setup. Leaves me 4TB to get started and buys me a few succesful quarters to plan on daisy chaining another unit when memory is needed. This way, I may not have maximum possible drive space, but I've got a replacement drive on the ready should I experience a drive-failure. Then, I'm not sitting on pins and needles while I await a replacement; they'll simply be shipping me a new "spare".
I still need to actually speak to someone @ Promise to make sure this will work, as I stated: I"m learning as I go here. If this is an acceptable Raid setup, you would have 8TB available to you.
Personally, I am far more comfortable running systems in series and building the size as I go (to a point) than putting so much data in a single array.
[Edit] The raid bay is mainly for the Lightroom catalog, and I use standard external drives to store redundant backups off-site (1TB at a time).

Need Help With My New 30-inch Diplay

I just got myself the 30-inch display couple days ago... but now I am having a VERY hard time fiding a video card for it. I have one of the first generation G5's (Dual 2.0Ghz) I believe it has the 9600 64MB in it right now (what it came with) I have found a few cards that claim to work (NVIDIA 6800 Ultra and Radeon 9600 Pro) Will these work? I also found a Radeon 9650 but I saw that one website claimed it needed Mac OS X 10.4.. is this true? I'm running 10.3.9. The Radeon 9650 also seems MUCH cheaper so I would prefer that too. Any suggestions and help would be great, thanks!!!
Dual 2.0 G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

sammx1234,
have you tried creating a second new partition where the deleted partition used to be, and then deleting the first new partition, and then stretching the second new partition to use the space of the deleted first new partition?
