New macbook pro but some issues

so i got this lovely Macbook Pro on Monday, and it was behaving very nicely until now. i typed something using the trial version of iWork, which allows you to print, and wanted to print it out. the printing was to be done through the network through bonjour. i had not set that up yet so i quickly (time was very much of the essence) set up bonjour in iChat, and then went back into Pages and selected the printer. Pages then "unexpectedly quit". tried again, and again. no go. i guess because it was a trial version i couldn't print save as a Word file, so i pasted it into text edit, again tried printing (quit out again, just tried it as i was typing this and when i go to File > Print i get a beachball, 100% on the fans, and another "unexpectedly quit") and emailed it to myself and printed it out on the PowerMac that was connected to the printer. Only then did it finally work. Keep in mind that printing on the network has never previously been a problem with the other two computers.
Now for the fans, upon restart the fans are going all out for some time even after log in, i suppose that's normal. there are times when the fans will go really high for no apparent reason, the highest CPU consumption being Safari at 8% i remember it being at one point. i thought this batch was supposed to be quiet. Sometimes the high fans seem to have something to do with Youtube, whenever i have a window open with Youtube the fans gradually get louder and louder.
And lastly Safari. I often keep a bunch of windows open, some with flash video, others just regular windows, and some more with ads dotted all over them. the windows i keep open for as long as i feel like it, i get to reading them when i can. i don't remember what specific sites i'm on, i think one time it has been myspace, another time some gaming site, but i'll get a slow loading page and finally a beach ball and an "unexpectedly quit" message. i thought it may have to do with an SIMBL Plug-in for safari called ForgetMeNot, which opens the windows you had open when you closed Safari. i looked at the SIMBL itself and it said universal, shouldn't be a problem right?
Pleaaase help. Thanks in advance.

I bought my MBP C2D 15" 2.33 stock from my local Apple reseller and have had no problems with it at all.
I would suggest the fan issue you are experiencing is down to a software issue, have you tried running your installation disc and reinstalling a new boot image (clean install)? I always run clean installs incase any damaged has occured to the pre-installed software during transit.
Give it a go and report back

    Click here and follow the instructions, or move them from the old computer. Any movies you've previously rented aren't transferable.

    Use an external optical drive such as Apple's USB SuperDrive, or one inside another computer.

    Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it wasn't uninstalled on the previous laptop? What to do now?? Thx!

    Maybe this can help someone else...  I simply had to properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall it again after that.  I think that sorted it!  I also remember having a similar issue with Macs at work a couple of years back.  Not sure whether the same applies to CS5/CS6.  Here's a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS.  I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it worked just fine.  Remove Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

  • Migrated old back-up to new MacBook Pro, but now new machine doesn't recognize old back-up

    So last night I migrated my old back-up to my new MacBook Pro, but this morning my new machine doesn't recognize my old back-up. I'd rather not erase and back-up from scratch for numerous reasons (losing the old data, time, etc).
    Any suggestions? I'll bet this is a realatively common issue?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Looking back, at your original posts....it said it needed 774 GB?? is that at all reasonable for a full backup of your system??
    Maybe there's something more than meets the eye?
    Also maybe we can figure out what went wrong with the tmutil command. It is possible that you may have to use additional options.
    But first le's see who owns the old backup....
    From the terminal command line try this:
    sudo xattr -l "path to your backup"
    Where "path to your backup" is tha same path exactly as used in the tmutil command, that is:
    /Volumes/"Backups Device Name"/Backups.backupdb/"Backup Name"
    You should get something like this for output:
    com.apple.backupd.BackupMachineAddress:
    00000000  30 30 3A 31 64 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..  |00:1d:..:..:..:.|
    00000010  34 00                                            |4.|
    00000012
    com.apple.backupd.HostUUID:
    00000000  41 34 32 30 43 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..  |A420Cxxxxxxxxxxx|
    00000010  .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..  |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|
    00000020  32 37 37 42 00                                   |277B.|
    00000025
    com.apple.backupd.ModelID: MacPro3,1
    The "BackupMachineAddress" is the MAC address of the Ethernet port your mother board.
    You can find the MAc address in About this Mac-> More Info. -> System report -> Network -> Ethernet 1
    The "HostUUID" is the identifier of your mother board.
    You can find it in About this Mac-> More Info. -> System report ->Hardware Overview  [that's the first thing that shows when you select System report]
    These are the way the connection of the backup to a machine is made.
    Now the tmutil inheritbackup comand should have set them to the correct values for your new machine.
    But let's' see if any of them match the new machine and then see of we haveany more options.

    i am buying a new macbook pro but i want to fit my own ram memory and solid state hard drive , will apple permit this without voiding the waranty.

    yes you can do it and not void the warranty.  Those are the only hardware changes that Apple permits.  Instructions on how to upgrade the ram and remove and replace the hard drive are even included in the owners manuals for MacBook Pros.

  • I buy a new macbook pro but the system care not here for that is there store be buy it your self

    You can purchase a Mac customized to your preference from the Apple Online Store. It will be manufactured almost immediately, and can be delivered to you in as little as two or three days, depending on your location. You may also choose from a number of Macs available in the Refurbished and Clearance store.
    If you want to purchase a Mac and have it immediately, you are limited to what an Apple Retail Store or reseller has in stock.

  • I have brought Lightroom 5 for a new MACBOOK PRO, but wondering, am I still alllowed to load on my desktop as well running Win 7? It looks like the office enviroment that says you can!

    I have brought Lightroom 5 for a new MACBOOK PRO, but wondering, am I still alllowed to load on my desktop as well running Win 7? It looks like the office enviroment that says you can!

    Eww, thanks for your reply, as it makes good sense, and common sense is practical when you walk into an Apple store.
    I guess all the reviews and great specs of the new MB pro's made me want one...
    I should probably use my current setup till it is totally outdated or simply is beyond repair.
    I could ask Santa Claus for one, but by than, the 2012's will be coming out..:)
    Thanks Eww for your reply, IAN....

  • Hello, I am interested in buying a new Macbook Pro but want to run Adobe CS package.  Which computer do you recommend?

    Hello, I am interested in buying a new Macbook Pro but want to run the latest Adobe CS package.  Which computer do you recommend for best speed and perfromance?

    Depending on the software you'll use - I doubt you'll be an expert on After Effects and use Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver like a pro (you may be an exception) - I have a 13" Macbook Pro simply because the 15" lacks the portability of the smaller size - the Retina 15" is alot lighter and if you can afford it - go for it!
    I bought the Macbook Pro and replaced the 4GB of RAM with 8GB of RAM and replaced the HDD with an m4 SSD from Crucial. The SSD really makes a difference in app start up speeds, loading times and bootup speeds. The RAM ensures apps operate smoothly and everything is snappy. Since getting an SSD, I would say the performance of Photoshop and Illustrator is vastly improved. I can have both open whilst surfing the web, checking my email and even using Dreamweaver every once in a while. Multitasking is great.
    To conclude, depedning on your price range, buying a £999 Macbook Pro and swapping the HDD for an SSD and the 4GB of RAm to 8GB, will ensure better performance than both 15" Models. However, buying a 15" Model and maxing out the specs, would beat the performance of a maxed out 13".
    I have a 13" and it runs faster than it was when I first purchased it last year. Photoshop opens in 2/3 seconds and performance is great.
    Hope this helps.
    P.S. If you have the money, get the 15" Retina. If not, max out the 13" if you still want portability. Otherwise, get the 15" and max that out if you feel performance is poor.
    The reason I say Retina, is because the maxed ram and SSD is already installed and saves alot of hassle aswell as the slimmer design and lighter weight.

  • I tried to run BootCamp on my new macbook pro, but i could not partition because of an apparent bad sector

    I tried to run BootCamp on my new macbook pro, but i could not partition because of an apparent bad sector.
    I reformatted the macbook, but the mac could not even boot up Mac OS Lion.
    As such, I had to go down to my retailer and reinstall Lion.
    What exactly went wrong?

    When I tried to bootcamp a few days ago, the partition could not work.
    My technician told me that there is a bad sector.
    So he reformatted, and Lion disaappeard. There was no O.S at all.
    I went down to my retailer just now.
    They ran a system check on the RAM, and the HDD.
    They did not find any bad sector, and everything was okay.
    They reinstalled Lion and now its okay again
    But I'm afraid to try and bootcamp again because they same thing might happen?

  • HT201364 I have a brand new macbook pro, but it won't let me download mavericks

    I have a brand new macbook pro, but it won't let me download mavericks

    You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro.
    This MacBook uses a special OS X Mavericks version which is newer than the one available in the Mac App Store, so you cannot download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store now. Instead, if you need to reinstall OS X, you will have to do this through Recovery (hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting up).
    You will be able to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store when your Mac uses the same OS X version as all other Macs. This may happen when Apple launches OS X 10.9.2
