New MBP 15 inch - new SDRAM
Hi everybody! Yesterday I ordered my new MBP 15 inch with standard 2 x 1GB SDRAM.
When my new MBP arrives, can I immediately replace the SDRAM by 2 x 2GB SDRAM or do I first have to load the battery and check if everything works right out of the box?
Are there any tests I should do first, to know nothing is wrong with the MBP?
This is my first Apple laptop. What are the best things to do when my new MBP finally arrives?
Before upgrading the memory, verify the laptop is working out of the box.
Calibrate the battery and fully charge it
Install your software.
Then once everything appears to be in order, upgrade your ram, the upside of waiting is that you can see if there's any issues with the laptop, and if not and you suddenly start having problems after the upgrade you'll know where to look

Hi All...just bought our first ever mac (always used pcs). Is there anything I should do/update before using it the first time? thanks.
Welcome to Mac's
It's worth checking Software Update (in System Preferences) to make sure you have the latest OS and software versions installed, there's also an SMC and Firmware update for MacBook Pro's that won't show up in there. They may say you don't need to apply them, but best to check. SMC Update and Firmware Update -
XP can't see the CDFS Boot Camp Volume on Leopard DVD with New MBP
My new MBP 2.4 works fine in OSX aside from this annoying issue where my fresh XP Bootcamp install doesn't detect the PC compatible image on the Leopard Install DVD1 disc to run the Boot Camp installer program and load the drivers and software. At first I thought it could possibly be my superdrive but after checking the disc on the XP and Vista machines in the house including the one with Macdrive on they can't pickup the Boot Camp installer either. My old retail Leopard DVD does work perfectly, but as the new MBP has newer drivers than the original image and the 2.1 update only the sound driver has been installed
I've put a support request ordering the replacement DVD's but they aren't due to arrive till the 21-24th Dec (sent by UK Royal Mail means after the 27th) and when my Thinkpad CPU fan broke last night I need this XP setup for work fixing Windows boxes a lot sooner than 10 days.
Has anyone got any ideas where I can get the newer drivers in any kind of format on the internet so I can get XP up and running before Santa arrives?Hi,
sorry to hear of such bad luck.
Sadly there is no official download possibility for the drivers you need.
Unless someone has put them on a Torrent site...
Since even your Windows PC can't read the Windows portion of the OSX DVD it is most likely that they are defect.
But you still try this procedure for gaining access to it http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060823101421566

When I imported photos on my older Mac computers G4 and G5), the new event would show up as the last event in EVENTS. With my new MBP, the new event shows up consistently at the beginning of EVENTS (actually as the second event), and it is a big inconvenience to have to drag it to the end (through some 500 events). How can I change this? Thank you for your help!
If you have the sort set to manual then you must manually sort the events as you choose - there is no "sort manually the way I am thinking" setting - manual is manual - and for what ever reason with the current version of iphoto second from the top is where events start for you to then manually put where you want
BTW - events are a poor choice for organizing photos and extremely inflexible (as you are seeing) - albums and folder are much more powerful and flexible and are the better way to organize photos

Brand new MBP 13 inch, "NO AirPort card installed" message
Hello!
I just bought a new MBP 13 inch and cannot connect to my home wireless network. On the top bar and when I put the mouse cursor on the AirPort icon it says "No AirPort card installed". Shouldn't the card be pre-installed by Apple though? Currently I'm using an ethernet cable to connect to the internet which works fine.
Thanks very much in advance!Open Utilities/System Profiler and in the left column click on Airport (in the Network section), does it show any details for the hardware or is it blank ?
Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.
If still no joy then you need to take it back to Apple for them to check it out. -
So since the battery is built in on the new 17-inch MBP, does anyone know what happens when the battery is toast and doesn't work anymore, what do you do? Do you have to send it in and get it repaired or can you do it yoursef by just un-screwing screws and getting a new battery?
Hi, justono, and welcome to Apple Discussions. You take the computer to an authorized Apple service provider and pay them to replace the battery for you. The announced price is $179. The battery is not a user-serviceable part, so a) end users probbly won't be able to buy replacement batteries to install, and b) trying to change the battery yourself would likely void your warranty coverage in some measure, if you did it while the machine was under warranty.

New 15-inch MBP (2008 MPB) battery drained to 84% in 15 mins. Help.
Hi there! I just popped in a brand new 15-inch MBP (square) battery into my 2008 MBP with Lion 10.7.4. It has drained to 84% in about 15 mintues. Is it a defective battery or a problem with caliberation? Thanks!!!
Calibrate it, and then you'll find out whether the problem is/was with the battery or its calibration.

Turning on brand new 15 inch retina display MBP
I have just got a new MBP (2 days old) . To turn it on, once it has been shut down, I have to hold down the power button for abnormally long time....is this normal? You have to keep your finger pressed down on the power button until it switches on (much like the time you have to hold it down if you were to force close a frozen screen). Surely this isn't right?
The mac has been working perfectly apart from this and the fact that on the first day I was working on it, suddenly the mouse cursor disappeared/became invisible. I could still move around the screen but without being able to see where the mouse was. After a few minutes it came back. Wasn't really thrilled with this happening to a brand new top of the range computer, but maybe it is nothing to worry about?
I am just a bit jittery as my old macbook pro (3 years old) just died on me. Started with fuzzy screen jumping about, then screen split in half and mirrored (left side was on the right and right side on the left) then few days later screen went stripy, then days later went blue (worked on odd days in-between) then finally froze on a white screen and wouldn't turn on.
Going to see a Genius isn't really an option as I am a flight and train ride away from any Apple store.OS X Mavericks updates the power button behavior on Mac computers.
Using the Power Button to Sleep & Wake
Tap the power button in Mavericks to put your Mac to sleep or to wake it up:
Tap the power button once to put your Mac to sleep.
Tap the power button again to wake your Mac.
Press the power button for a moment to sleep or wake your Mac.
Accessing the Shut Down Dialog
Press and hold the power button for 1.5 to 2 seconds to see additional options
Forcing your Mac to turn off
Hold down the power button for 5 seconds to force the computer to turn off.
Important: You may lose unsaved documents if you force the computer to turn off this way.
Use this method of turning off your Mac only if it has become unresponsive for an extended period of time.
Normally you should shut down the computer by selecting Shut Down from the Apple menu, or from the shut down dialog pictured above. -
My iPod64Touch is frozen at that screen, with no way to get to settings. I have even pressed the top (on/off) button and the button at the bottom (front) at the same time, and it just returns to the frozen screen. Let it drain, recharged, and get the same screen. I'm sure this is Apple's way of forcing me to send all my 6674 items to my new MBP(Yosemite), and know it will not include my Amazon purchases and personal CDs that are on the old MBP. I don't use videos, photos, or anything other than music on the iPods.

iPodTouch 64 - Feb 14, 2015 7:07pm ----12/24/14 9:33pm
I use this device in the cars only, and have played it many times until last week, when I got the frozen screen after disconnecting from my husband's car. The CAR couldn't have tried an update, right? I forgot about Sync, didn't I? I've now checked the box to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". Why didn't I see that before now? It's possible that the update was so large, that the iPodTouch wouldn't take it and just quit, without completing the update, but left me this unresponsive screen.
So can I safely just plug the USB from the iPod64 into the older 2008 MBP and update it from there (WITHOUT DANGER OF LOSING ENTIRE COLLECTION)? Make it simple; I'm 74 and not as savvy as I used to be! I tend to zone out with long descriptions, but if you have to....fire away...between hubby and me, we can usually figure it out.
I haven't migrated from older to newer MBP or to iPad4 yet because I wanted to be selective in doing so. I am offloading all my photos, digital art, documents and important Applications onto separate thumb drives, before upgrading the old MBP, and will probably backup the whole thing on a new external backup drive, too. Then, will upgrade to Snow Leopard (the last update the 2008 MBP will take), and use it almost exclusively offline.
I have a 'Classic iPod' that I purposely haven't updated since the last of '14. All purchases from all sources are on there (as on the '08MBP) and I want to keep it that way. We keep it in players and do not plan to update it or play anywhere else, except perhaps with headphones or through the tuner occasionally. I'm assuming it is safe from the same fate?

Change 250GB 5400rpm to SSD in new MBP 13
Hi,
Could I get help choosing best SSD alternative for my brand new MBP 13!
Which is best fit. I want 250GB SSD. There are so many alternatives i want the best that suit whitout complication. I have a 250GB 5400rpm for now.
Any suggestion? Is there anything i must do or know before I change.
Cheers,
-magnusIn your case, I would clone the old HDD to the SSD using Carbon Copy Cloner. See my user tip -> Upgrading Your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive that explains the scenario.
Good luck,

New MBP on the way, can I swap in a Macbook 320G drive?
I've finally made the move to upgrade my old white MB to a MBP (15"). About 4 months ago I upgraded the drive in the MB to a 320G Western Digital. All my software is up to date on that box. Is there any reason I can't swap out the drive in my new MBP for this one and be fine?
ThanksYup. Same issue, except with a 15" Unibody MBP HD to a 17" Unibody MBP... I'd upgraded to a WD Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM drive on the non-CTO 15 MBP, just having gotten all the settings perfect in CS3 and CS4, yada yada... the Apple Tech I spoke with about the exact same question responded: "A cloned volume or hard drive swap from the 15 inch MacBook Pro will be slower on the 17 than using MA... definitely use Migration Assistant. No question."
So, I did, despite a few Permissions issues... went from the nice 'n speedy 2.53 GHz, 6 GB RAM 15.4" Unibody MBP (I own 2 2.53 GHz 15s and now 2 2.93 GHz 17s also, one gloss and one matte, all 4 for my consulting biz), the non-clone, just simple Migration Assistant enabled transfer resulted in a nice productivity and speed boost with the first (glossy) 17" MBP, the 2.93 GHz uptick and 8 vs. 6 GB of RAM helped speed things up past the 15" more than the numbers might suggest, especially in p-shop, Aperture, FCP, Shake, and Nikon NX2...I'd stick with the long way home on this procedure, but I'm with ya on all the reasons to go with a CCC/Super Duper HD clone or simple transplant! :^/ -
Office v.X Applications - Cannot open after migration to new MBP
Used target disk mode to move all files from G4 Titanium PowerBook running OS 10.4.7 and cannot open any Office v.X applications.
MBP 15-inch Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 GB RAMWell, I had no choice. I lost the video on the Ti G4 and bought the MBP. I could only operate the Ti G4 in the target disk mode to get the files from itt. I was concerned that I had lost everything to the old laptop. I did not knowingly use Migration Assistant. When I first booted up the MBP, it asked if I wanted to move the files from the old laptop, and I said "yes". I guess that was a form of Migration Assistand, but the MBP was new to me and it sounded OK to do.
Also, I have a separate copy of MS Entourage that is not part of Office. It works fine with the MBP.
I thought Office v.x or 2004 would run on Intel-based Macs, but not as fast. -
Only having 4 hr on the new MBP 13inch I bought yesterday...
I am really concerned...I bought the new MBP 13 inch yesterday and saw terrible battery life. I thought I would give it a day, but today, after charging it fully, it only showed 4 hour left after I unplugged for 10 minutes, and now 3:48 left after unplugging it for 20 minutes.
I went to support.apple.com to schedule a support call, but the ridiculous interface asked me to pick what type of problem is this related to, but ONLY GIVING ME TWO CHOICES: 1. iTune 8 or 2. iTune 9. *** is wrong w/ their support site? Also it didn't know I have my laptop, so I had to type in serial number manually. After choosing my laptop, yeah it told me I could only pick iTune 8 or iTune 9 as my problem. This is inside MacBook Pro support age!! WTFFF???
Then, once I filled up the drop down list (I had to choose some ridiculous category unrelated to my problem), it told me I can schedule a call back at a later time. It wouldn't even call me back! But it had the decency to tell me "you can always schedule a call back..." ***??? Is this because I am behind a corproate firewall? I got stuck in some crazy loop too on developer.apple.com yesterday, but I doubt today's problem is related to VPN.
Lastly, no I am not running my PC crazily. Not playing any media or using any hardware or connected to any device. Only have wifi on, browsing the web, and brightness at 50%.
I prob shall bring this in but I am flying out tonight I really don't want to spend an hour driving to the store and back...HELP!Hi lyziwyg,
Charge life varies immensely depending on what you are doing with your computer. THings like screen brightness, the use of bluetooth, external USB devices etc etc also have a substantial impact. A computer that will run for eight hours running a word processor and email software, may only manage two or three if you are watching lots of vids, connected to blue tooth, using the iSight Camera, running DVDs or CDs etc etc.
Have a look at Neuroanatomist's excellent FAQ on batteries at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1764220 for some good advice on looking after the battery in your new computer, and read Apple's own advice at http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html too.
While you should calibrate your battery when it is new, and then every couple of months thereafter, it is actually best NOT to run Lithium batteries right down from full charge too often. You will find that regular light usage is what they thrive on - use them every day when convenient for an hour or so, but try to avoid the "charge it up overnight and then run it flat every day" approach that some people use. That approach used to work well with the old "NiCad" batteries, but it is really very bad for Lithium ones.
Cheers

Brand new MBP Retina constant kernal panics
I have a new MBP Retina with Mavericks 10.9.4 installed. I have received constant kernal panics since a few days into it. It seemed as though they were being cause by the io/logic boards, but those have both been replaced now. OS has been reinstalled multiple times to no avail. BSD and kernals blamed are all over the place (Dock, WindowsServer, mds; filesystems, AppleSMBusController, IOAcceleratorFamily)

I've got many more where that came from. I just don't want to post a wall of text.An update on my situation.
I had my macbook pro replaced with a brand new one by Apple, which was brilliant customer service.
Before giving back the old macbook, I decided to copy all my essential documents over to a usb stick. I also formatted my time machine external drive so it was blank.
Rather than restore this new macbook using my time machine backup, I set it up as a new machine and copied just my documents from my usb stick. I then proceeded to carry out fresh installs of software I regularly use but nothing non-essential (namely Spotify, Firefox, Chrome, xCode, Adobe CS5, Squidman, MAMP and Office 2011).
For three days everything worked beautifully - until last night when I had my first kernel panic on this machine. Nothing was running apart from firefox when this panic occured. The report is below and states the process which was running was 'plugin-container' which is part of firefox.
Below is the log output:

I'm running the latest OS X Mavericks - all updated to date.
I've tested the thunderbolt display with a friends MacBook Air and I see no problems there.
Any clues what is going on? Or it this latest Kernel Panic just a coincidence compared to my previous macbook?
Thanks in advance! -
Do all the new MBPs support automatic graphics switching?
Hi, I read that older MacBooks required a manual switch between the integrated graphics and discrete GPU.
I'm reading here: http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/13-and-15-inch/
"NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory (15-inch 2.3GHz configuration) or NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory (15-inch 2.6GHz configuration) and automatic graphics switching"
Does that mean "... 512 MB, or 1GB and automatics graphic switching" -> Only the 1GB configuration supports auto graphics switching, or
"...512MB or 1GB, and automatics graphics switching -> both configurations support it
Hate to sound like a grammar freak, but just wondering - never liked having to log in and out to switch.
Thanks!The new MBP's with the Intel 4000 and the NVIDIA cards support automatic graphics switching. You can also use gfxCardStatus, which works with 2012 Mac's an Mountain Lion to make sure that auto graphics switching is enabled.
