On macbook pro when logging in the loading bar gets to a certain point every time then crashes

I recently upgraded to yosemite, I tried to go on my macbook but after I log in the system shuts down automatically

OK, let's try this: as it sounds as if there's something wrong with your hard drive.
Try booting into Internet recovery by holding down the command, option and R keys whilst booting. Make certain that you have a good Internet connection before doing this. Eventually (and it will take a while) you'll see a globe on your screen and then, eventually again, the Recovery screen. Select Disk Utility, then at the top left highlight your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've changed it) and click on the "Verify" button. If everything's OK with your boot drive you'll get a green text telling you that. If it needs to be repaired, then you can try to repair it. If it does need to be repaired, I'm hoping that you already have a back-up in place as there's probably a 50/50 chance of Disk Utility being able to repair the drive.

I bought a macbook pro and was under the impression of getting a free $125 iTunes voucher but was charged for it

Can you provide a link to the offer? Was it for the iTunes Store, the Mac App Store, or an Apple Store (retail)?
You were charged for what? You made purchases in advance of having a voucher?

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited. In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items. I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible. I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected. Hope this helps!

I have a iPad and a iPhone. I am logged into the same Apple ID on both devices. Every time I download something on my phone it automatically downloads on the iPad how do I turn this off?

I keep trying to download my photos to my MacBook Pro, when I insert my disc I get this response: You inserted a blank CD. Choose an action from the pop-up menu or click Ignore. Anyone know how to fix this?

I have been trying to download photo's from a CD onto my MacBook pro but when I insert the disc I get this box that pops up onto my screen: You inserted a blank CD. Choose an action from the pop-up menu or click Ignore. Is there a way to fix this so I can use my photo's?

Bummer. Could be a problem with the MBP drive. Are you using Re-writable discs maybe?
Check the discs work in your HP machine. They may have burnt but not successfully. Your HP machine may not be able to open them either.
Have you considered using a USB flash device to transfer the photos, or just copy them over your home network? CD is a slow an cumbersome method.

MacBook Pro Retina 13", Power On, Loading Bar

I've had the MacBook Pro for 4 months now. No issues with it at all. I was just wondering why it has just started doing the loading bar at startup?
When I say loading bar, it's at the password screen almost like an update. In the previous months, it has powered on and immediately gone to the password screen with no loading bar.

The loading bar is just the macbook checking through everything to make sure its in working order, its like in earlier models when it made that chime whenever you turned it on, it was the macbook telling you everything was okay, the Loading Bar is it checking to make sure all the files are where they need to be and all systems are good to go.

When i click the edit tool on iPhoto, iDVD opens up every time. Now i am not able to use my edit tool. Why is this happening?

I cannot edit any of my photos in iPhoto. When I click the edit tool on iPhoto, iDVD opens up every single time in my iMac toolbar. I cannot edit, crop or make changes to my photos. Is anything corrupt in my computer? Thanks in advance..

Check the Preferences settings in iPhoto. You may have set iDVD as external editor.
Set "Preferences > Advanced > Edit Photos" to "In iPhoto".

What can I do to make sure all my information (Notes Included) transfers to my new MacBook Pro when connecting for the first time?

I am about to connecting my Iphone to my new Macbook Pro for the first time. I just want to make sure that all my information: contacts, messages, notes, everything will still be on my phone. I just dont want to connect then find out I lost everything on my phone.
Help! I am really bad with technology...

When you first sync with a new iTunes library iTunes will delete any iTunes media from your phone and replace it with the media in the library being synced with. iTunes media includes things like apps, music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, books, custom ringtones and photos synced to your phone from a computer. If you are also syncing your contacts and calendars with your computer it will replace the ones on your phone with those on your computer. If your iTunes library, contacts, calendars and iPhoto are all empty, you will end up with all of these being empty on your phone.
To preserve these you need to follow the steps in the linked article. This will transfer purchased media from your phone to your iTunes library and transfer contacts and calendar entries to your Mac. As discussed in the guide, it will not transfer music not purchased from the iTunes store (which can only be done using 3rd party software such as the ones discussed) or photos synced to your phone from another computer (which can be transferred to your computer using an app like PhotoSync). These will need to done first or you will lose them, as discussed in the guide.

My Macbook Pro is stuck on the loading screen

Hello. My Macbook Pro from late 2012 won't start up normally. It stays stuck on the loading screen with the spinning grey wheel. I reset the PRAM and it did nothing. I did Control-R and trI'd to repair/verify the disk and it said there was nothing wrong. Can anyone help?

Hi daviscouch,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your Mac will not boot past the gray screen with spinning gear, please follow the steps in the article below.

I try to put ON several time and again NOTHING! Please HELPS ME!!!

My boyfriend surprise me this morning, my MBP is alive! Just one problem, my MBP is new like as I bought it yesterday. I have no more my documents or my school stuff in it. I'm gratefull, because my next semester start only tomorrow so it's not a big deal but it seem that the problem was an error 11 with the update of Lion. MBP wasn't able to load the update, what a rush, I think I just got the first virus on APPLE or a big bug of APPLE. I'm calling the repare in Québec, tomorrow. He did what you wrote but that erase all my things! Be aware of that if you have the same problem as me!
Thanks for the tips!

My MacBook Pro is stuck on the loading screen and sounds as if its about the take off?!

Hi everyone. About 3 hours ago my laptop suddenly became very unresponsive and began freezing a lot. I cleared the cookies on Firefox, but the problem carried on so I tried rebooting. Now it has been stuck on the loading screen for about half an hour, sounding like a rocket ready to take off.. I brought it second hand and I don't have an installation CD, at least if I do it's not here at uni with me anyway.. Any ideas?! Thanks

Not knowing what your os is very difficult regarding offering troubleshooting solutions. Most if not all the system discs are machine specific.
Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html
Mac OS X versions (builds) for computers

My macbook pro is still under the 1 year warranty, and it has frozen three times.

I got it checked out twice and had left it for overnight testing once. They found nothing and I'm extremely frustrated. I have always been an avid PC user and to tell you honestly, nothing like this has ever happened to me. This is a brand new macbook and I have not dropped it or done anything malicious with it and it is already freezing on me. I bought a macbook pro specifically because I heard it was the best and nothing like this would ever happen (i.e. crashes, viruses). Extremely disappointed.

What have you added to it since you got it? Software? Memory? Freeware? Shareware?

Macbook Pro 10.5.8- cursor disappears and freezes, iphoto editing goes beachball every time

Hi. I have looked for hours but cannot find exact solutions for these issues (or ones that I can understand), so I am sorry to be repeating what are apparently common problems. I have a 2009 MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.8 with 4 GB of memory. The first problem is intermittent in that occasionally, the cursor disappears then freezes up, and I have to use the keyboard to navigate. If I run my finger around the mouse pad for what seems like forever, it will move a little but is very uncoordinated. I can push the cursor in a general direction, but it overshoots the area I'm trying to move to. Sometimes, a restart will fix it. Other times, it eventually starts working again; how, I don't know. I've read lots of theories and solutions, but honestly they're all "reconfigure this," "reinstall the pram," "replace the logic board," "backup, delete, and install such and such," and I have no idea what half of it means. I run the basic software updates regularly, have deleted some unused apps and emptied the trash. No idea what a cache is or how to empty one...
The second problem is with iphoto ('09 version 8.1.2. 424), and it happens consistantly. When the editing features are used, it goes beach ball for several seconds, especially when using "retouch." I don't use cloud or iLife11 or anything that didn't come with the computer.
Any advice to a girl who understands very little about computers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have someone look at your machine, discuss upgrading the operating system to 10.6.8 as it will run all your currently installed software (10.7 may not and require more memory, new software purchases)
Also to set up a TimeMachine backup system too.
We can only help those who can help themselves, some need someone to assist them in person.
It's no problem, I don't do my own dental or car work, I turn to those who can assist me with that.
Good Luck

I'm having problems creating a slideshow that I can burn to a DVD. I can see all of the pictures but it goes black at a certain point every time. I'm using iPhoto. I've tried copying it but the same thing happens. Ideas?

I've loaded about 100 photos into a slideshow that I would like to burn into a DVD to share with friends at a 50th birthday celebration. It keeps going black at a certain point but I can see the pictures in the cue. Any ideas on how to correct this and how to burn it to disc easily? Thanks! This is my first time trying to do this.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
how are you trying to export the slideshow?
Here's how I recommend one get a slideshnow to iDVD: export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
