New Macbook Pro does not see bluetooth mouse

I have just purchased a new Macbook Pro and wish to use the bluetooth mouse from my desktop Mac. However, the Macbook does not seem to see this device when I try to connect. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Do you still have the instructions for your mouse? Most have a button somewhere that puts it in a discoverable state.

Airport Management Utility on new MacBook Pro does not see base station

I have an old "flying saucer" Airport base station. I
recently started using a new MacBook Pro. Airport
connection is fine, Airport Admin Utility works normally,
but Airport Client Monitor 1.0 shows blank graphs and
Airport Management Utility 1.0 does not "see" the
base station. I don't know if the problem is the
change to Tiger, to Intel, or to AE card. MacStumbler
and friends also are "blind".
MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Try rebooting the airport, then going to airport utilities and go thru the set up proceedure following the prompts. Also go to system prefernces in location select automatic.

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my iphoto library

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my "iphoto library"

Hello.
The problem is that the iPhoto library is inside of iPhoto. Lightroom won't let you select it because it's basically a shortcut to iPhoto. Try exporting the images you need or all of them, depending on what you need.

New Macbook Pro does not start up after updating...HELP!!!

Hi,
My new Macbook Pro does not start up after it got updated. The first time I used it, it was perfect. I updated it and restarted it when it told me to but it doesn't boot. It shows an apple and a spinning circle when it turns on but that's it.
Can somebody please help me?

You should probably post your question in the MacBook Pro discussions:

Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer.

Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer. Have already opened box. Searched online and someone suggested downloading the LR trial, and set up Cloud, then can enter the serial number to complete the purchase. Which is what I did, but the serial number is being rejected.

Ok, maybe what they’re calling Creative Cloud is merely your Adobe ID, an e-mail and password to login with. The LR5 6 update link is probably what you want to download—all updates are downloads, anyway, so there’s no need to have a disc reader as long as you have internet and the serial number.
Here is the LR 5.6 update for a Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5822
Another issue might be that what you think is a serial number is a redemption code that needs to be converted to a serial number using this website: http://www.adobe.com/go/getserial A clue that you have a redemption code is that it has letters and numbers. A serial number is just numbers and the first few are 1160-something.

Macbook Pro does not see Fast Ethernet but works fine with Gigabit Ethernet

Hi to everybody,
It is some time I have a problem connecting my unibody Macbook Pro (late 2008) to the ethernet cables in my office. There are 16 wall jacks in the lab, of which 13 are Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and 3 are Gigabit Ethernet. No matter what I do, if I connect to the 100 Mbit/s jacks, my Macbook does not see the connection and keeps saying "Cable unplugged". If I switch to a Gigabit jack, then a connection is quickly established.
I have spent one whole afternoon debugging. Here is what I did:
My computer dual boots Mac OS X and Linux. No matter which operating system I use, the problem is the same.
Using different Cat.5 cables does not change the situation (I tried three of them.)
All the 13 Fast Ethernet jacks do not work.
All the 3 Gigabit jacks work smoothly.
What puzzles me is that my computer happly uses the newest technology (Gigabit ethernet) but has problems with the oldest one. Has somebody else experienced the same problem?

After a lot of struggle, I discovered that other people had this very issue as well. It seems that the cause is a faulty Realtek chip used in the ethernet cards of some MacBooks and other brands. There is apparently no way to fix this: I solved my problems by buying a Gigabit Ethernet switch which I connected to the Fast Ethernet wall jack. (Another option might be to use a Ethernet-to-USB adapter - but I did not try this as I have no adapter of this kind.)

My new Macbook Pro does not have Frontrow

Just got a new Macbook Pro Intel 2 Duo Core but I can't find Frontrow? It came with a remote too.
I downloaded an update but it's a ".pkg" so I'm unable to open it.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
ST

FrontRow should be installed on your new MBP. It's not a usual application, you'll find it in System/Library/CoreServices.
What happens when you press the Menu button on the remote or Command-Esc on the keyboard? That should invoke FrontRow.
If it really isn't installed, you can install it from the OSX disks that came with the Mac.
Insert Disk 1 and click the "Install Bundled Software Only". Follow the instructions. After selecting the install destination, click on the Customize button and you should find Front Row as one of the options.

My new macbook pro does not have a safari icon

Just got a new Macbook Pro and when I logged on there's a ? mark where the safari icon should be. Also when i attempt to click on it nothing happens.
I have no way of getting on the internet..

Your Safari application should be in your Applications folder. See if it's there. If it isn't post back. How are you getting onto these forums? Through a browser. Then download:

When I plug in my USB Thumb drive (PNY 8Gb) the MacBook Pro does not see it, nothing happens. Is there something else I need to do?

When I plug a PNY 8Gb USB thumb drive, nothing happens and the MacBook Pro can't see it. Is there something I need to do?

If you are looking for it in Desktop, it's normal that you feel like your Mac doesn't detect it. By default, OS X doesn't show external drives in Desktop, so you have to access to them from Finder. To do it, open a Finder window and choose your external drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices".
If you want to show the external disk in Desktop, open a Finder window, go to the Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and mark "External drives"

Migration Assistant Problem: Old MacBook Pro does not see new MacAir

I have a brand new MacAir (OSX 10.7 and a 4 year old Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6)...trying to use Migration Assistant using Wifi, they're both on my network, but the new MacAir can "see" the old Macbook, but the old Macbook doesn't "see" the new MacAir...the wheel just keeps spinning as it tries to find another computer to migrate to but it just never sees it. What am I doing wrong or what can I do to fix this problem? Thanks!

Sounds like there are two issues:
1. The Migration should start from the "To" computer asking for the stuff from the "From" computer. Sounds like you're doing it the other way.
2. The MacBook Air isn't visible. Correct that by going to System Preferences ---> Sharing on your MacBook Air and see if things look good there. You should at least see a message near the top starting with "Computers on your local network can access your computer ..."

Macbook pro does not see internal DVD/CD drive

Our macbook pro 4,1 running OSX 10.8.5 (12F45) no longer seems to recognize the internal DVD/CD drive.
Both the ATA and Disc Burning listings for the MBP say there are no devices of that type listed.
This started when my wife attempted to play an audio CD-R which I had burned on my macpro 1,1 running Snow Leopard and using Itunes 11.4. The icon for the CD did not show up and the disk didn't play. It also would not eject. (She had just successfully played another audio CD-R which I had burned on my macpro). After some research, we found that the 'stuck CD' is a common problem and the solution that worked for us was cold starting with the trackpad button depressed while shaking the **** out of the computer (and giving it a few 'love taps') .... several tries without the physical encouragement failed before adding shaking ... then it ejected the CD.
So .... we were able to remove the offending CD, but when I tried one that had worked before, a commercially produced CD, it got stuck too and required the same draconian procedure to get it to eject.
I re-cold started the MBP with an empty optical drive and then brought up the Hardware Overview. It said there was no ATA device and no Disc Burning device. The device itself must be getting power, because when the CD was stuck, you could hear it trying to do something when you hit the eject key, and when we finally discovered how to force ejection, the mechanical sound associated with disc ejection could be heard.
I seriously doubt that the optical drive has just stopped working. Instinct tells me that the attempt to read an audio CD that was somehow incompatible caused the opsys to be configured in a way that makes it unable to communicate with the optical drive directly. Any suggestions on how to investigate this, possibly from the Terminal, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Joe - but I have discovered how to free the stuck CD from the drive.
The problem now is that OSX 10.8.5 does not recognize the presence of the optical drive at all. It does not show up in Disk Utility's list of drives/volumes and does not show up in the ATA or Disc Burning categories in the system profiler. For example, I can insert the system disc, which the drive accepts, but the install/utilitiy app does not fire up .... not initially, nor after I cold start while holding 'C'. The system doesn't see it.
Applecare was willing to try to assist me for free, but the agent, after helping me run the Disc Utility from the cold start Recovery System, claimed it was a faulty optical drive. Though this is quite possible, I'm still skeptical and have a local mac guru coming to look at it (for a fee) on Monday, 2/9/15.
In some of my research regarding the stuck CD, there was mention that a CD programmed on a different drive (in a different mac) initiated the sticky CD problem, and implied that something about the CD corrupted something in the guts of the guts of the OS. But if true, Disk Utility, which likely communicates to the optical drive thru the OS, may not be able to see the drive. It'd be nice if there was some diagnostic software that runs on an intel mac that completely runs independently of the OS but with full privileges to directly query the hardware I/O channel(s) that directly talk to the optical drive. If you know of such an animal, that would be helpful and might save me from buying a new optical drive when it's really a system corruption problem.

My new MacBook Pro does not shut down

Hello,
please help. I have a brand new computer - MacBook pro - 2.2 GHz, Intel Core i7, Mac OS X 10.6.7. When I bought it, I followed the onscreen instructions and "transferred" my old computer, 4 year old MacBook, onto the new one (my accounts, with all the documents, preferences, etc). Now, for some time, before getting my new computer, I had been experiencing problems on my old one: namely, it was not shutting down and I had to "force" it by pressing the switch. I should have known better than transferring the old comp's settings and accounts onto the new one. I didn't and now my new computer is also not shutting down. Does anyone know how to find where the problem is and how to eliminate it? Do I have to backup all, erase, and reinstall everything or is there a less drastic way to cure my afflicted computer?
Thank you!
P.

Hi,
running the activity monitor and select System Processes, set the window to see allrunning processes and sort by CPU usage, close all applications that are using and try to shut down your Mac, then identifies what the process that consumes more CPU percentage.

Macbook pro does not see sd card

I've repeatedly inserted an SD card into my MacBook Pro but am unable to see it.
I'm new to Mac product and the card was formatted in a Windows 7 system. It has documents on it which I'd like to edit.
I could understand not being able to access it, but, the Macbook Pro gives absolutely no indication the SD card was inserted into the slot.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
Suggestions?

I had the same problem. I tried everything that everyone's suggested, but no results. Then I sprayed a can of air/duster into the slot. Voila! It works!

Hi, I have a late October 2008 Macbook Pro Unibody which I wanted to use my Magma Expressbox card with. I had a Silver Macbook Pro before which this worked fine with but for some reason my newer Macbook Pro does not even recognize the Expresscard slot?

Highly anooying as I can't even use the Express Card slot at all, due to the fact the Macbook doesn't even recognize it exists. Has anyone else had this problem. If so, how was it fixed? I only upgraded my Macbook Pro due to the fact Ineeded a better performance but I still need my Expressbox1 to work with my UAD DSP card. If not the buying the new MAcbook was a total waste of money if the Express Card does not even fundtion on it? Please help!!

Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

IMac sees MacBook Pro, MacBook Pro does not see iMac?

When I click Network in the finder on my iMac it always finds the MacBook Pro. However, when I click network on my MacBook Pro it does not always find the iMac. What is more confusing is that DropCopy works between the two machines no problem, so the MacBook Pro knows the iMac is on the network.
My iMac is connected to an Apple Airport Extreme via Ethernet. I usually have Airport turned off on the iMac, but always on on the MacBook Pro. Turning Airport on on the iMac doesn't make any difference.
Can anybody understand why the iMac only sees the MacBook Pro sometimes? It is not a signal issue as I always have at least 3 bars on the MBP.

I'll take a stab at the why he did post " No Issue w/Leopard".
Because no one posted a reply to his request 33 days ago, and now his issue is solved with new OS.
I think that pretty much answers it.
Now, if someone else has a similar issue, this might cure it as well.
