    There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

  • Connecting HP 2311x display to new macbook pro Retina - no output on external screen

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro 15 in. with Retina display.  I also have a HP 2311x monitor.  When I plug in the HDMI cable, the external monitor says "check video cable" and the preferences "arrangement" thinks there is a display - even recognizes the type - but the external display just wont display anything but the "check video cable" box.  I spent 2 hours on with apple yesterday, they had me do all sorts of resets and stuff - but no luck.  The HDMi cable works when connecting a pc to the screen.  When connected to by macbook, the screen on the macbook likes to flash black and its annoying.  I have gotten really used to working with two screens....  and apple's suggestion was to buy a thunderbolt cable and try that.  As it is, with this new macbook I have to buy a bunch of cables, I really don't want to buy another one when I am not sure that will work.  Darn things are expensive when you are buying 4 connectors at once (ethernet connector since the speed via wireless is noticably slower; magsafe to magsafe2 converter; thunderbolt for my printer; and a connector for the monitor at home which doesn't have an hdmi port).
    Any other suggestions before adding another to that list? Since Apple seems to be out of ideas... any info would be appreciated.

    I have an HP 2311x as well. I'm using an HDMI cable and am not having any issues getting the screen to display. I know you said the cable works with a PC but have you tried a different HDMI cable just in case. It might be worth a try. Other than that, I'm not much help.
    The issue I had when plugging this monitor into my MBP retina was that the image was very blurry on the HP 2311x. I almost gave up on using it and was going to just buy a Thunderbolt display but after much research I found a custom firmware update that fixed the underscan/blurriness issue. So be prepared for that if you get the screen to display.
    If I can find that resource, I will post it here.
    Good luck!

  • FileVaulted data from Powerbook [10.3.x] disk to a new MacBook Pro [10.5.x]

    Hi!
    My powerbook was damaged & the insurers have returned my hard drive and are supplying me with a new MacBook Pro.
    The data on the Hard drive is encrypted with FileVault from 10.3.someting.....
    What's the best way to proceed, with regards to getting the few files off of there I need?
    I've seen some articals regarding linking the drive via Firewire and ensuring there are no User Accounts on the new machine & using the import facility on 10.5...... However, I am unsure whether the primary [admin account ] is comsidered to be a user or not - so how do I do that?
    Or
    Could I just spark up the new MacBook from the old drive & switch off the FileVault? Will the Macbook be happy booting from an external from a Powerbook? I don't have a Firewire enclosure, but do have an USB enclosure.... will that matter other than speed?
    If I do boot from the external, should I do that BEFORE my first use of the new machine or after?
    Thank you
    Rob
    ps Sorry if not asked in quite the right place - unsure if machine or OS question!

    Hmmm! Iknow you shouldn't be the first reply to your own postings.... but:-
    I read somewere that it would have to be Firewire as the USB ports abecome active after the system starts to boot where as the Firewire are active frm the Firmware - can someone confirm that on please?
    Would I be able to boot up an old Clamshell iBook from a Powerbook disk? I have a Clamshell somewhere - I could pop the disk in there maybe?
    Or maybe an iMac... If I can find a Firewire enclosure.... Was hoping to do it from USB as I have 1 of those external 'connect all disk adapters' on USB thingys....
    I'l see if a friendly local repairer has a carcase I can pop the drive in to just decrypy the FileVault........ But prefer to do it myself!

  • New Macbook Pro (Late 2013) Continuously Loses Internet Connection

    My new macbook pro is constantly losing internet connection.  I have already:
    1) Replaced my home modem and router (just in case)
    2) Troubleshot the home internet with ISP - they say it is not on their end.
    3) Run through a million resets of the home internet system
    4) Checked to see if other computers are losing internet (No, it seems to be only this computer affected)
    5) Done diagnostics with Apple on two separate occasions (This did no good)
    Now the interesting thing here is that I thought at first it might be a hardware issue with the internal mac modem on the computer.  That is also what apple was suspecting...  HOWEVER, whenever this happens, if I reset the PRAM everything is fine again for 3-7 days.  You would think this would not be the case with a hardware issue, right?  (It is important to note here that apple said PRAM reset wouldn't change anything - but it clearly does)
    I have seen posts saying the antenna could be bad when others have had this problem, but again, if PRAM reset works, you wouldn't think it was the antenna, right?
    This is driving me crazy and it is a new machine.  I am also in a situation where I don't want to be without it for days to have it repaired so any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be helpful.
    I have considered that it might be a profile issue (I did migrate another profile to this machine), but again that seems unlikely.
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!  Thanks much!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Mac App Store not working - first day with new MacBook Pro

    Hi guys,
    I received a new MacBook Pro 13 inch with retina display today and have been working on it this evening but I have a problem: My app store won't open.
    It was fine earlier - I downloaded both textwrangler and notepad - but now, whenever I click on the icon in the dock it bounces for a few seconds before simply showing a blank screen.
    I have uninstalled my downloads from the day in the hope that it would prove to be a fix but nothing has happened. I live in the UK so it's too late for me to ring the store - it's past 10pm here - but I was hoping somebody could help me out!
    Also - My iTunes doesn't work - whenever I try to purchase an album or listen to any music an error message pops up reading 'an unknown error occurred.' I'm not sure if the two problems are linked...
    Any help will be greatly, and gladly, appreciated!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Bug in Macbook Pro firmware (2009 mid)

    Dear all,
    Recently, I bought a new Macbook Pro (2009 mid model). I found that there was a problem in illuminated keyboard. Logically, the backlight of keyboard should be darker if the light source of surrounding environment is strong. However, it is totally opposite!! The backlight of the keyboard will turn dark if the light source is weak!! I guess it should be the bug in firmware.

    Fatpandapanda wrote:

    I don't think that's true. In bright light, the keyboard backlight is off. When the light sensor detects that ambient is below a certain lux value, the keyboard backlight is activated. When the ambient light is +just below+ that value, there is still a fair amount of light in the room - in that case, the keyboard backlight needs to be relatively brighter to be effective. When the room is pitch black, the keyboard backlight should be relatively dimmer, since less brightness is required to see the keys if there is almost no ambient light. The same is true for the display - the brighter the ambient light, the brighter your display needs to be.
    What should happen, for example if you're in a brightly lit room with a dimmer switch - with room light at full brightness, the keyboard backlight is off. As you dim the lights, at some point the keyboard backlight will come on, and be at it's brightest (or as bright as you have the setting). As you continue dimming the room light, the keyboard backlight also gets dimmer. When the room light is all the way off, the keyboard backlight is at its lowest brightness.
    However, if what's happening is that in bright room light the keyboard backlight is still active, that is a bug (if everyone with your configuration is experiencing it), or a glitch (try a PRAM reset), or a hardware problem with your machine (call AppleCare).

  • New Macbook Pro number keys not working

    Hi everyone,
    I have a brand new macbook pro (running 10.6.4) who's number keys suddenly stopped working. The keys from 1 through 9 do not respond at all. Neither does holding down shift, while pressing them. The key rows below and above them work fine. I have the newest updates on the machine, and have restarted multiple times.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    This same issue happens to me frequently. I've lived with it for the most part just because I didn't want to spend my time running down Apple's glitch. I can not tell if it is a hardware, firmware, or software issue. I have a case number which is 163792369 that I've had since June. I've never taken it in because it is not consistent. I'm leaning towards an OS glitch. I have searched Apple's archives and found one reference to it happening on an earlier version of OS-X, but I was afraid to install the patch because of version differences. Please let me know if you get a solution from the customer support. It is somewhat frustrating as this is my first experience with a Mac and I understand it's a complex piece of machinery from a hardware and software perspective, but fresh out of the box the freak'in keys should work.
    Thanks,
    Shawn A. Peterson
    It just works??? Most of the time.

  • Macbook Pro Firmware update 1.5.1

    So every single time I have done a software update I have gotten this Macbook Pro Firmware update. I always have the firmware update checked and it never goes away.
    My current firmware boot version is: MBP31.0070.B02
    the software update says this:
    This update fixes several issues to improve the stability of MacBook Pro computers.
    After the firmware is successfully applied to your Mac, your Boot ROM Version will be:
    MBP21.00A5.B08 or MBP31.0070.B07
    So the firmware never gets installed. Whats up with this?

    Please excuse me if this seems a stupid question but I am a little confused by the various Apple software upgrades, I take the automatic upgrades as and when I receive notification. It is the firmware upgrades I do not fully understand, am I correct in assuming that this is a manual upgrade by the computer owner ? I own a 1st generation MBP the Boot rom ? version I have is MBP11.0055.B08, I would like to know if the new version 1.5.1 is suitable or a requirement for my machine or only for more modern versions of the MBP ?

  • Wireless keyboard A1016 and new MacBook Pro

    I have searched but can't find whether my old Apple wireless keyboard (white case) is compatible with my new MacBook Pro. My computer finds the keyboard but then asks for a passcode and it doesn't connect. Maybe I need a firmware update??

    {quote}Thank you for your help.{quote}
    No problem. I love my white plastic Bluetooth keyboard with the NUMERIC KEYPAD! I plan on using until I die or Apple offers another Bluetooth keyboard with the numeric keypad. I'm sure there are lots of others that feel the same way.

  • D-Link Router Problem with new MacBook Pro

    I have had my new MacBook Pro for less than one month and I have had weak home Internet connections ever since. I use a D-Link DI 624 revC wireless router that I bought back in February. I have it connected to a cable modem. I used to have an iBook and the D-Link worked great.
    Now the airport signal never shows full strength. The signal is sporatic by showing three bars and then suddenly dropping to one or two. Just loading a web page will cause the signal strength to suddenly drop or lose connection altogether. I used to have full Internet access throughout the house. Now the wireless works only in two rooms.
    Tactics that I have tried so far:
    -Switched channels from 6 to 1 or 11
    -Setting channel switching to auto
    -Reset and rebooted
    -Restore to factory settings
    -Disabling SSID
    -Allowing only 802.11g
    -Moved the router to a different location
    -Checked for possible interference
    I know that it is probably my router as my Internet connections seem to fine at other places. I do not know why I would suddenly have these problems with a more powerful notebook.
    I am not a network pro so I will be very grateful for any suggestions.

    OK ... all those answers add up.
    I bought back in February
    Have you updated the Firmware in the Router, a new version (2.75) was released 7/5/2006 that says:
    ¤ Fixed Security Issues.
    ¤ Improved Performance

    How to upgrade
    You could also improve the power of the signal/extend the range with an extra antenna like this

  • Lock new macbook pro

    HI,
    I am interested in a new MacBook Pro however, I need to use this in an open office environment where theft is an issue.  I lock my current MacBook Pro using a cable lock that attaches to a small slot on the side of the Macbook Pro (2009 model). 
    I noticed on the new MacBook Pros that there is no cable lock slot on them.  I found a third party solution that requries glueing an attachment to the MacBook Pro and I find this an unacceptable solution.  Is there a way of locking the MacBook Pro to a desk without having to resorting to glue something to the case? 
    For me, not having the ability to lock the laptop, is a completely unacceptable design flaw from Apple as anyone paying $4000 for a laptop in a professional environment would likely need to lock the device. 
    Would anyone know of a solution that can lock the new MacBook Pro's without having to glue something to the case?
    If I can't find an acceptable solution, I am left with only one choice when purchasing my next laptop and that is to buy a PC laptop that I can lock (which I don't want to do) although that is the path that I will follow if Apple doesn't provide a mechanism of locking a (very expensive) laptop.

  • If I buy a new macbook pro...

    hello to everyone... I'll start saying that I'll buy my first mac finally after all these years looking for one (kind of difficult living in Perú.. a MBP that costs $2000 in USA, costs $2800 in Perú, so looking for someone to travel and buy it is kind of hard).
    As I was saying.. I'm planning to buy a new Macbook Pro (the one launched on February 2008) and I want to know if I will have these problems that I've read in this forum:
    - keyboard unable to use or failing a lot (lots of people had it after some upgrade).
    - sleep mode failing.. some people had this too, the computer can't wake from sleep mode.
    has anyone had any problem with the new macbook pro's??
    thanks for answering!

    - keyboard unable to use or failing a lot (lots of people had it after some upgrade).
    The much maligned upgrade is a misnomer, it was really an software/firmware update and it only applied to previous releases of the MBP. The Feb'08 MBP does not need such an update.
    - sleep mode failing.. some people had this too, the computer can't wake from sleep mode.
    Same thing, this is mostly present in older MBP's.
    has anyone had any problem with the new macbook pro's??
    Like any new and complex piece of equipment, there are bound to be lemons in the mix. And some "problems" are more like undocumented or ill conceived design decisions. For example, the infamous keyboard problem, where certain keys don't respond at first try. In my case, the Caps Lock key takes a wee bit longer to respond than the rest of the keys. This seems to be a design "feature" and not a bad key switch: since many people complained that they were having typing errors cause the Caps Lock caught inadvertently, apparently they added a little delay so you wouldn't accidentally brush against the key. However, for a trained touch typist, this is a major PITA cause it breaks your typing rythmn, something the designer (probably not being a typist) completely overlooked.
    So you moan and complain loudly in the appropiate places (Feedback or Applecare) and hopefully the company will eventually listen and issue an update. These forums are not the appropiate venue except for blowing off steam, since few if any decision-making Apple employees come here.

  • New macbook pros should I get 802.11g or 802.11n

    I'm about to get one of the new Macbook Pro's with the Intel Core Duo 2's. I'm getting a new wireless router as well. I was planning on getting the Linksys WRT54GL, which is 802.11.
    Would I gain anything by getting an 802.11n router instead? If so, anyone have any recommendations?
    macbook pro 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo    

    I have the Belkin Pre-N Router and it has been great with my MBP Core Duo. My new Core 2 Duo MBP has a different card and it is working very well also. No one is sure what the nature of the wireless adapter in these new books is, but it appears to be some sort of N-like technology, however, Apple has it behaving as if it is the same as the others. The reason being that there is no established N yet and they are waiting. My guess is that we will receive a firmware update to get them running at N speeds once the specs for N are official. Until then, I would not spend too much money on a Pre-N or Draft N router because it could very well be useless for N speeds when N is released. I got the Belkin for $100 and the speed is very nice and the range is exceptional. Anyhow, that is my two cents...if it's worth that much.

  • Wireless instability in new  Macbook pro (late 2008) (uniblock model)

    I have been experiencing the same kind of instability problems with the wireless connections of the new Macbook pro (late 2008 "unibody") reported in other posts in this section.
    My network configuration includes a Time Capsule base station(802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)) and an Airport Express(802.11n) that extends the network and is used mostly for wireless music feeding into sound equipment.
    I have been using this network for months with my old MBP (Core Duo,15.4', 2.16 MHz) and it works perfectly. From that notebook iTunes recognizes the Airport express immediately and feeds music without any problems.
    I transferred all my configuration to the new Macbook Pro (late 2008 - which is indeed a beautiful piece of hardware, exquisitely designed) and everything works perfectly... except the wireless connection.
    It behaves quite unstably. Usually, it is necessary to turn airport off and on several times in the computer to get iTunes to connect to the Airport Express. Even then, the music stream suffers from frequent interruptions and suddenly gets in trouble and looses connection.
    While iTunes is trying to reconnect to the Airport Express, usually the internet connection fails altogether, making it necessary to turn airport off and on in the notebook to restart all the wireless connections.
    All along, the old MBP wireless connections behave perfectly, proving the problem is in the new Macbook (late 2008) and not in the network.
    I have loaded all the firmware and software updates available in the Apple site, and the behaviour improved somewhat with the EFI firmware update 1.6 and SMC firmware update 1.2. I also reset the SMC.
    However, the problem is still there and appears now and then seemingly without a pattern.

    Folks: *there may be a power/signal issue going on here.* I had a similar problem of my network connection dragging to practically nothing when hooking up my LaCie external drive to the USB port. Please see my post below (link and text)
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9914924#9914924
    Folks:
    Apple needs to get on this issue fast; after turning off my N mode on my WRT160N Linksys Router, I got my packet speed back up to where it should be... HOWEVER I noticed another problem.
    When I hooked up my LaCie external drive (connected via USB), my packets on PING practically stall to nothing. I then eject the external USB drive and re-ping and I get acceptable packet speeds; I re-connect the LaCie external drive to the USB port and my PING crawls to nothing.
    There is CLEARLY a correlation between the network speed crawling to nothing while hooking up an external drive; possibly a power sink and/or signal interference on the Airport when hooking up a USB device? (or perhaps even Firewire 800 too?)
    I sure hope Apple is reading this one, because this could be a MAJOR issue that needs to be fixed ASAP.
