    I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it.  Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there.  The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple.  They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
    My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one.  From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate.  And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one.  Try a new one.  Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

  • Brand New Macbook Pro 2010 - Cracking body !

    Hi !
    I just bought the new macbook pro 2010 with hi-res and anti-glare screen (very impressive).
    But something very annoying appeared few days ago when I started using my computer on my laps : it cracks !
    I investigated to found the origin of this cracking noise and I succeed in it : the body is cracking when I exerce a little pression on the center of the bottom of the aluminium body. Consequently it cracks only on an unstable surface when the four "black feet" do not ensure a minimal interstice between the surface and the body.
    Moreover, it cracks even when the computer is off, even when the computer is cold, so it's nor a drive optic issue neither movement detector, neither dilatation.
    How do you explain that ? Remember, my computer is brand new, I just putted out of the box few days ago, no shock, no impact.
    I pay the price to have a perfect product, so I want some explanations.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards.

    Welcome to the forums g.dubreuil !
    This is a user to user support forum and issues raised here are not addressed by Apple employees. I agree with your statement of expecting a perfect product. If you've just bought it, simply contact Apple (or visit an Apple store) and have them take a look at it. I'm not exactly sure of what you are explaining, but if they agree that there is a problem, you should be able to get it replaced... which I would think preferable to an explanation.

  • NEW Macbook Pro anti-glare screen choice

    Hi,
        I did not see the NEW Macbook Pro anti-glare screen choice.
          Did Apple Stop offering the anti-glare screen option on the NEW 2013 Laptops?
                      THANKS!!  - Randy

    If you look at the specifications for the 15" non-retina MBPs, you will note that anti-glare option is available.
    Ciao.

  • New Macbook Pro (2010) 15 inch battery issues!!!!

    Hi,
    Please help me.I sense a fraud act by the macbook servicing center in my city.
    My macbook was bought in 2010 and after having used many times I was said tha the machine was getting heated up due to poor standard of the battery and that the battery needs to be replaced.So here are my questions in points-
    1.When I get my battery replaced without warranty,Should I get the Old battery or does the servicing center replaces my battery with a new one and does nt return me my battery.
    2.The battery,when i tested through COCONUT BATTERY appliocation shows 89% capacity with 374 cycles,which means its not new.Because in 1 day it cannot be upto 374 cycles.
    3.What should be th ideal battery standby time for a new battery of macbook pro.Currently its showing only 3 hours!!!I think its totally unbelievebale.
    4.Is there any opther application to check the battery isd new or not??????

    Thanks a lot for your info, Glynn. I appreciated much.
    Unfortunately, the Apple dealer said that currently there is no this type of mac in their inventory. Therefore they can not do a complete replacement & they referred me to Apple authorized service center. Today, I got more news from this Apple authorized service center & they suggested to return my new macbook pro to the Apple Dealer where I purchased my Mac. After sent Email to Apple, tomorrow they will contact me. Hopefully they will not referred me again to other place...
    This is like they sent me back and forth and it's really frustrated. This is the worst experience I ever had in buying computer & I am feel that I paid to much for such low quality product & service.
    Sorry Apple, but this is really disappointed me.

  • Brand new Macbook pro 2011 15" screen shifts

    Hello there
    I've had my new macbook pro for 4 days and I've been having problems with the screen.
    Time to time the screen would begin to flicker a little for a minute, and finally shift completely to the left. The left part that gets cut off the edge reappears on the right end of the sceen. There is a black bar about an inch thick where the split occurs. The cursor still works at this point, but is useless and I have to restart my laptop.
    This shifting has happened 6 times so far I think.
    If it doesn't shift, then the screen would turn completely black but it's not turned off (the music that is playing keeps going but is 'stuck')
    This blackout has occured 4 times.
    The problems are occurring more frequently now.
    *lol I was in the middle of typing this on my macbook when it shifted again (this time halfway) and now I'm on another computer and I recovered everything I typed. Thanks apple.
    At first I thought it was because of Photoshop cs5 or youtube, both of which were running when the problems occurred. But now the problem occured again without any of those programs running except for Google chrome.
    I would appreciated some advice. Thank you

    You have 14 days from the date of purchase to exchange for another with no questions asked.

    If you just got it and this is the first time you have turned it on the solution is very simple.
    Take it back to where you bought it and exchange it for one that works. Don't bother calling Apple. Take it back.

  • I am thinking of being a new macbook pro with retina but after reading the problems with overheating would i be better of buying a dell ??

    i am thinking of buying a macbook pro retina 15 but after reading reports of this overheating am i better of buying a dell ?? i already have a imac that has started to overheat when put to sleep unless i close safari down.

    Good grief no. I've just done a consulting job that involved Dells, and if you think there are some issues with Apple, wait until you try to deal with Dell. The tech support is awful, they transfer you 4 times then hang up. The product is marginal at best. Google that if you want confirmation.
    While Apple machines have had some issues on specific models, for the most part my experience has been very favorable. Especially if you have Applecare. Take the computer in if you have a problem and let the Genius Bar fix it for you.
    Your "overheating" issues are probably due to something like Flash running in the background, which just continues to grow in size and suck up machine resources the longer it's on.

  • My 2012, 17" macbook pro starts, gray screen and shuts down.

    Anybody knows why my 2012, 17" macbook pro is starting with gray screen and mac logo and shuts down after?
    I have Mavrick on. Last night i tried to use itunes and got an error for the first time. It said " itunes was corrupted or not installed correctly" . There is no reason because i listened to music just day before. After working on some docs i shut down the laptop. This morning when i tried to start up it didnt happened. Tried all shortcuts to do recorvery. It said " mac HD and Recorvery HD" both are blocked and not accessible.
    Ran another doagnoses, checked hard drive and got errors.
    I cant see why hard drive might be damaged.
    Plz help me out. I didnt do any backup and dont ant to reformat it.
    Thanks
    -Soleil

    Well, i tried different things. First tried Recorvery start. It showed mac HD and Recovery HD but i couldnt choose any, said it was locked.
    When i diagnosed the hard drive, dont remember exactly but it ran the HD test and on red showed Hard Drive damaged.
    Tonight after putting this questions here i tried again Online Help option, i could see all my folders, files, applications but couldnt open any. It was using Safari.
    Not sure whats going on. All started with getting slow and i didnt turn the laptop off "was on sleep" for few days till last night.
    Like i said before, last night i couldnt start iTunes, but didnt pay attention to it and shut off laptop. Only if i knew it wont start up again.. :-(

  • My New Macbook Pro 15" is slow after loading my old files

    Hi There -
    I had purchased a macbook pro a couple of years ago. After a couple of repairs the Macstore decided to replace my mac. They gave me the New Mac Book Pro (2.2 Ghz i7).  I was told that I should back up my old laptop using time machine and load it onto the new one. I did just that, followed all the instructions and i have all my files and programs (except of outlook which was a bit of a pain!!). In anycase, the issue I am having is that my new computer is very slow, everything lags and its just not fast, like it should be. I was wondering if you could help me figure out what could be wrong.
    Is there a way I can optamize my computer? Is it possible that the old files are in a different format than the current version of my computer and that's why its lagging.
    Any suggestions would be great.
    Thank You
    Ajay

  • Mid Macbook Pro 2010 - The screen lid it quite hard to open

    Hello,
    I bought my macbook pro in August 2010 was my first ever mac purchase however, since I have had it I always find it requires quite a lot of force to open the lid. But when I was in the Apple Store the Macbook Pro's screen lids were easily opened with very little force, I was wondering if this is a defect? Or I could fix the problem, or it might be best to go to the Genius Bar?

    You are under warranty. Stop by the Apple store and show the genius your problem.

  • Hi, I have problem with starting up my macbook pro, the gray screen coming and the circle still turning

    hi
    Could u please help me with the problem that I have with starting up my macbook pro?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard 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. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
