OSX.8.4 MacBook Pro Run away Fans Baterry issues
Recently Energy Saver Preferences Shows Battery Service with a Triangle.
Also I am noticing when I have more that two Applications open, sunddenly computer heats up, the Fan goes wild and the Battery nose dives fro 98% to almost screen black out.
I have to hold down Power Button down, to quit.
Then when powered up immediately started charging battery the Fan continued blowing for a while. but then Quit.
I have a Battery coming.
I've tried the SMC reset. Dut I am not sure I am doing it right. Its almost impossible to press the shift-control-option and Power button down.
Any one have this issue and what am missing.
Its not completely dead. it stay 98% until all of sudden the Fan goes crazy the computer gets hot the the charge falls to 10-15% percent then the screen goes black. Then if you shut down by holding power key down, then restart it immediatey start recharging. It will recharge to 100% in about 30 minutes. then next time you restart computer its back to 98%.

15" MacBook Pro runs hot, fan is loud, and incredibly low battery life
My 15" MBP was bought in March or April (can't remember) from Singapore Apple Store. Here are the stats:
MacBook Pro 15-Inch, Late 2011
Memory 8 GB 12222 MHz DDR3
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Also I'm using about 1/2 of the available 750 GB of storage.
Here's what's up:
1. The fans boot immediately after the computer is turned on and never stop, making everything much too loud...like a plane is taking off or something.
2. The computer is WAY too hot. Right now I'm running Astrill, Chrome, Activity Monitor, and System Utility, and when I put my hands on the thing it feels like my fingers are going to melt.
3. The battery life, even at a full charge, is about an hour overall, which ***** for so, so many reasons.
Here's what I've tried:
1. I took it to the Shanghai Genius Bar, but I think that the language barrier is impeding my ability to really say what's wrong. I backed up, and they wiped the hard drive, re-loaded the OS and put all my old stuff back on the computer. They also deleted SOMETHING from the Preferences part of the library, but I don't know what it was. Everything runs much faster now, but the fan, the heat, and the battery are still having their issues.
2. I've checked the "all processes" CPU usage. There's nothing unusual (as far as I can tell), so I'm at a serious loss as to say why the computer is running so hard. Even with all the processing running as you see below, the fan's still blasting and I've lost 50% battery life in the past 40 minutes.
3. I've tried the fix that requires deleting com.apple.desktop.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist.lockfile. It changed the way the desktop looked and absolutely nothing else.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help me! I'm a graphic designer and often run the CS6 Suite. (Currently, however, I am NOT running any Adobe programs and I'm still experiencing the problems.) It's really important that I am able to run Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign at once, and it CAN, but with the heat problems I'm having without ANY of the graphics stuff running, it worries me.Just took another look at iStat Menus (I've only had it for a couple of days - I used to use the old iStat Pro widget) and it seems as if you can make fan speed defaults and use them instead of relying on your MBPs sensors to take care of the fans... see...
Might want to use that 'medium' speed (there by default as I know I didn't add it) and keep an eye on your temps. If you start heating up to much, go back to the 'Default'.

HUGE MacBook Pro Running Mountain Lion Sleepwake Issue!!!!
Hello. There is simply no way that I can describe this issue. So, I have uploaded a video of it on YouTube in the hope that someone may have an idea of what it is and how to fix it.
Thanks...

What version of Office 2011 are you running?
You should be at 14.4.7
On the Help menu in Excel, click Check for Updates.
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3018888/en-us
One other thing, my Office 2011 used to crash so often, particularly Word, that when it didn't happen I was always pleasantly surprised.
After upgrading to Yosemite the Office crashes still happened. Primarily Word but sometimes Excel.
Only when I did a complete removal and then reinstall, working my way back up to 14.4.7 have I experienced a 95% reduction in Office crashes.
To do that, you better have your Product Key handy. -
Have a macbook pro running osx lion. Connected a Kindle Fire using micro usb and the disk icon doesn't show up on the desktop. Also sometimes get a message sayiing computer doesn't recognize device. When I opened disk utilities the Kindle disk does show up there. What am I missing?

Kindle is connected directly, not thru a hub. Also called Amazon Kindle support, tech was baffled when I told her I was using a Mac. She said, "I'm not really familiar with apple products."
Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much. An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

I have a 2010 macbook pro running osx 10.6.8 and would like to interface my mac to my HD tv. Are any instructions available to reliably make this connection and if so what is needed on my part. Is the software compatible or do I have to upgrade to a later version OS. Thank You,
GeneI purchased a mini to HDMI cable and tried to connect to the TV but the TV is not recognizing the computer. I attempted to set sound and display settings under the "my Preferences" utility with no success. Again, I'm not sure if I need to upgrade my OS software Any Suggestions?

Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. I deleted windows after i realised i wasnt enjoying using it at all and wasted my hard drive. I now decided that i want another OSX on there instead yet i have only allowed myself 10 gb on the partition. I have ben thru some programms but am struggling on making this partition bigger.
I only want it at 20gb but cant seem to make the partition bigger, only smaller or split it into further partition.
Is there a way to do this, i have all installation discs from original OSX so think this could help.
Any help please would be fantastic.
Thanks ChrisHi, dragging the partition will only make smaller, not larger. In disk utility you can only split or make smaller the partitions. Yes i booted from installation disks also but still no help.
And Brody, I am willing to erase the disc completely, infact jus started doing a backup in order to do so but that failed also. And the information you gave on partition a hard drive, Although very simple and i already know how to do this, but it wont let me make the partition bigger, and i dont want to make a new partition, just enlarge the one i already have, which i dont see possible from disk utility.
Getting really frustrated now, even backing up is saying no to me. **** external being a douche.
I dont mind erasing the hard drive but surely this must be doable without deleting the secondary partition back t a single volume, and re partitioning into 2 volumes again.
Thanks again -
I have a MacBook Pro running mac osx 10.8, Screen saver keeps reverting to national geographic photos.
Just found this solution on another website. I tried it and it works. No more polar bears and Savannahs!
Apparently if you put it in the folder called "Desktop Pictures" it will work.
So, copy whatever folder of pictures you would like to use as your screensaver and then go to:
Macintosh HD>Library > Desktop Pictures
Paste your folder into this folder called "Desktop Pictures".
You may have to enter the administrator code (the password you use to open your mac usually).
Then, go back to System Preferences, go to Desktop and Screensaver, click on the Screensaver tab on the top, go to the drop down menu beside "Source" (under the picture) and click on "Choose Folder". Navigate to the Macintosh HD>Library>Desktop Pictures and then click on the folder you just pasted in there. Click "Choose" and you're all set. -
After upgrading iPhoto on my MacBook Pro running OSX Yosemite 10.10.3 it continually keeps asking me that it is preparing library. This has happened 5 times now and I can't access my photo's through iPhoto, any suggestions?
There is no upgrade to iPhoto with OS X 10.10.3 - here was an update to version 9.6.1 a few months ago and Photo 1.0 was added with 10.10.3 - what software and which version are you having trouble with - iPhoto or Photos?

Hi. I've been traveling, using facbook on iphone and my macbook. Suddenly I cannot access Facebook. I prefer to use Safari as my broser, but I downloaded Mozilla tonight to just see if it was a browser issue. The problem carries over into Mozilla Firefox. Both say they can't find the server. However, I can access facebook through my iPhone.
Can anyone help me so I can use facebook through my computer--I'd like to use it on my computer. I use Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.4. iPhone is iPhone 5 running 6.1.4.
Thanks,
ESTTry enabling the Personal Hotspot on the iPhone and connecting the Mac to the Internet thru it. If Facebook works ok then, that would mean the ISP is either blocking or having connection problems whereas the phone carrier is not.
Be mindful that carrier data charges can be outrageous so use this as a test first. -
Virtual machine of Lion OSx 10.7 server on my MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7?
I'd like to create a better disaster recovery plan. My thought was to create a virtual machine of Lion OSx 10.7 server on my MacBook Pro running 10.7. Is that even possible?
Disasters for you primary tends to take down the disk. That would kill your VM 10.7 Server fail-over.
Yes, you can VM "server", but I advise using CarbonCopyClone to keep a copy of the main disk but on an external drive, two separate external drives if you can afford it. CCC will clone the Recovery Partition, and the odds of all three drives failing at the same time are very low. Just keep the clones current by backing up at least once a week, if not once a day. You can rotate one of the clones to a freind's house for better protection. -
How do I find a driver for a Dell 1320c Colour Laser Printer for a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.2
How do I find a printer driver for a Dell 1320c Color Laser Printer for use on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks OSX 10.9.2?
Ask Dell who made the printer and what model is it. Then you can see if there is a matching driver provided with OS X or that can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.

My mid-2012 MacBook Pro has the fan constantly running. As soon as I turn it on. My MBP won't even be hot and the fan is running. How can I fix this?
If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it.

when printing from aperture my margins are unequal, even if i set my margins they come out bigger one side and not the other. i am using a macbook pro running osx lion and printing with a canon pro 9000.
please can anbody help or advise?You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:
