New Apple Macbook Pro...data corruption

Apple is warning users of its latest Macbook Pro about an issue with the laptop that may cause data corruption.The tech giant released a firmware update on Wednesday to fix a problem on the laptop's flash storage component.The 15-inch mid 2015 range Retina model is affected, with corruption occurring in "rare cases", the company said.News of the warning comes as thousands of Macbook owners are campaigning for action over stains appearing on the laptop's retina screen.http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33652239(Incidentally...this device has a starting price of £1599......) 

When I was a lot younger I vowed I would NEVER say 'in my day etc etc etc'....so I wont....Instead I will say when my Mum and Dad bought their house.....it cost them £350......

  • HT3819 I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and on my I-Pod. Can I use home sharing to transfer my music onto my new computer?

    I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and my i-pad. What is the easiest way to transfer my music onto my new
    computer?

    apps
    If you have an iPod touch or iPhone with iOS 4 or later software, or an iPad, you can use iTunes to transfer files between your computer and an app on your device that supports file sharing.
    You might want to do this if, for example, you want to save files you create on your device to your computer, or take files with you so you can use them when you’re away from your computer.
    You don’t need to sync your device to transfer files, but your device needs to be connected to your computer.
    For information about supported apps, see the documentation for your apps.
    Hide
    To transfer files from your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer:
    Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device (below Devices), and click the Apps button.
    Below File Sharing, from the list on the left, select the app on your device that you want to transfer a file from.
    From the list on the right, select the file you want to transfer, and click “Save to.”
    In the window that appears, select the destination where you want to save the file, and click Choose.
    The file is saved to the selected destination on your computer.
    SImport music and video already on your computer
    If you have audio or video files on your computer, you can import them into iTunes so that they appear in your iTunes library.
    Hide
    Here are ways to add items from your computer to your iTunes library:
    Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
    If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.
    By default, iTunes places a copy of each audio file in the iTunes folder (Home/Music); the original file remains in the current location. For information about adding an alias to the file (instead of creating a copy), see Add items to your library without copying them to your iTunes folder.

  • I had to change to a new Apple MacBook Pro.  I deauthorized my old computer, authorized the new one and less than a quarter of my media shows up in the new computer.  Everything that was downloaded from a cd is missing.  Any help?

    I had to change to a new Apple MacBook Pro.  I deauthorized my old computer, authorized the new one and the only media that shows up are items with a cloud.  Everything that was downloaded from a cd, including personal movie files, are missing.  It's as if my former library is gone.  How can I find it again? Or is this just Apples way of screwing with me?

    No. Firewire and Ethernet are not the same. Ethernet would be used to connect the computers to your network. A Firewire cable is used to connect the computers directly. They are different ports.
    The above shows what an Ethernet port and a Firewire 400 port look like.
    These are the plugs used for FW800 on the left and FW400 on the right.

  • I just bought a new apple MacBook Pro with retina and it has froze on me twice today. Anybody know why this is happening?

    I just bought myself a brand new apple MacBook Pro yesterday. Today while using it it has froze on me twice for no apparent reason. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Or have it replaced.  Unless you've added a bunch of strange stuff, this shouldn't happen to a brand new one.   Let your local Apple Store get you going with a MBP that works perfectly.

  • I have a Macbook which is running Snow Leopard. I back up using time machine to an external drive. If I purchase a new Apple Macbook pro running Lion if I use the backup to this will I be able to use Leopard on the new computer

    I have a Macbook running Snow Leopard which I back up to an external drive using time machine.  If I purchase a new MacBook pro and transfer backup from time maching to MacBook Pro will it also transfer Snow Leopard as its is my preferred O.S.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If the new computer did not originally ship with Snow Leopard installed, no, you will not be able to go back from Lion. Snow Leopard lacks the necessary drivers required for newer hardware.

  • I have a new Apple MacBook Pro and would like to download my Lightroom 5 that I purchased in 2013

  • How Does One Perform Initial Installation of T5 S/W on an Intel-based Apple MacBook Pro?

    Hello People,
    My old Palm Tungsten T5 died suddenly. I managed to secure an open box T5 from Amazon, and I tried to install on my new Apple MacBook Pro. The Palm software did not complete the install apparently due to the lack of a PowerPC processor. Now my new T5 cannot even read my 2GB SD card.
    Is there a work-around for installations using Intel processors on Apple computers?
    I am running OS X Lion---not Snow Leopard. I just bought this MacBook Pro less than two months ago, and it's the most modern version.
    I saw something of the issues others were having with Snow Leopard, and I wondered whether the same issues carried over to Lion.
    If necessary, I can dig my old Windows Vista PC out of storage, but I really like using the Apple laptop and would prefer to use that since I normally use the laptop and PDA on the go.
    Most respectfully yours,
    John
    Post relates to: Tungsten T5

    Here is the info. on MAC OS X. You will need to look for 3rd party options.
    Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Palm currently has no plans to release future versions of Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager for Palm OS. Customers do have options with third-party solutions such as The Missing Sync for Palm OS from Mark/Space.
    Here is the link to Mark/Space for your T5.

    I have succesfully migrated my data from my 2006 MacBook to a new 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I delete ALL of my personal data from the MacBook so my girlfriend can use it to support iTunes and her iPod?

    Order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 from The Apple Store as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
    Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
    You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

  • Is my apple MacBook Pro laptop compatible with the new Creative Suite 6 program??

    I own a Apple MacBook Pro laptop i currently have the operating system Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
    my laptop is 13 inch laptop not a 15 inch.
    Here is the following info about my apple computer below:
    Processor  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 384 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    I want to make sure that the new Creative Suite 6 program is compatiable with my apple
    computer before i buy it. my mother last year had brought me the creative suite 5 program
    for my Dell Desktop computer however, this computer later on crashed and now i am stuck with
    the CS5 program my mother brought because, this version of this program she brought is
    only for a desktop computer that has a windows operating system not for a apple
    computer that has a mac operating system. At the time my mother nor i knew if, i
    would be getting a new apple computer plus, i needed the program for school so that i
    could work on homework assignments at home. Now i am currently stuck with the
    windows version of the CS5 program which i cannot use at all. I tried to install it onto
    my apple laptop many times before but, i only ended up getting a error message saying
    that the software I had wouldn't install to the computer for some reason unexplained.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
