Pistol is in my hand. do i shoot macbook pro or me-firefox ok for now. safari 6.1.1 appears to be falling apart.

using safari 6.1.1 and have firefox as a back up (NO problems there for now). finding more and more sites i visit are fragmenting (little x's instead of letters. also hard to get my macbookpro fired up. assume i need to delete safari and replace but then i lose all my great bookmarks, etc. hope this makes sense.

First things first. Hard to get the MacBook Pro fired up?
Have you checked to see if there's enough storage space lately?
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Check the startup disk lately?
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to acces the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.
OS X Recover does require a broadband high speed internet connection.
As for Safari. Try deleting the cache associated with Safari.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

I have a red line on the left hand side of my Macbook Pro screen

I have a Macbook pro 15" 2012 model with a red/turquoise line which appeared the day before yesterday on the right hand side of my screen....i have plugged in a monitor to see if it appeared on that monitor too and it hasnt? What could be causing this and is it expensive? Please can anyone help? I have tried all the tests on different apple forums resettting the memory and the board and nothing has worked....it did disappear but has come back permanently now. I've only had the Mac for over 16 months so as you can tell not impressed!! I have a macbook air late 2010/2011 and never had any problems apart from the magsafe adapter!!! Any help would be very much appreciated?

First question is do you have Applecare? If so, just take it in and let them fix it.

Hands off calling from Macbook pro to iPhone 5 not connecting

I cannot get my iMac to make a phone call using hands off through my iPhone. It continues to tell me they are not connected to the same Wi-Fi, and they are. I got it to work one time the day before after doing a soft reset on my iPhone. What can I do to correct this? All other features are working.

Is anyone currently working hands on with the Macbook Pro 13"

I would like to buy this model but I would first like to hear any reactions from people currently working on the new Pro 13". Any particular problems? Is the screen a worthy update from the Macbook 13"? Any thoughts on quality and performance?
thanks

I just bought the 13" MacBook Pro 2.26 model on the day it was released. I made the swap from my 17" 2.93 GHz 8GB RAM 320GB HD@7200RPM. You might wonder why downgrade all that horse power? Well, I am an IT administrator at my company and I lug my MacBook Pro everywhere I go. Whether I'm in the office or at home or even away for vacation. I have tools on my computer that allow me to remote manage all my users and my servers. Anyhow, I opted for weight and size of the 13". I bought the basic 13" model with the 4GB RAM. I am currently upgrading my HD myself to a 500GB 7200RPM internal 2.5" Seagate HD. My 13" is the quietest and coolest MacBook Pro I've ever had. The 17" was noisy because the drive would crackle every now and then making me think that something was wrong with it. (Unfounded issue) And all my programs work beautifully on the 13". I even have Windows XP running with VMWare and it goes without a hitch. I was really afraid to go away from all that power I had with the 17", but I'm not a 3D Graphic artist. I'm not a intense gamer. I use command line and remote management software. All in all, I am very very happy with my decision. At times I'm nostalgic for the power, but really will anyone tap 2.93GHz with 8GB RAM? Not me. My eyes were bigger than my productions. Good luck with whatever you are deciding.

Light in right hand corner when putting MacBook Pro to sleep

Can someone explain the purpose of the light in the bottom right corner of the Macbook Pro (late 2009 model) that comes on when you put it to sleep? First it becomes a solid light and after a couple of minutes it starts to blink. Is there anything specific I should know about those indicators?

When you first put the computer to sleep, the light should be on. You should not physically move the computer until the on light begins to pulsate. Once the light begins to pulsate, your hard drive has stopped spinning. If you move the computer when the light is on, you could lose data, because the drive is still spinning even thought the computer is asleep.
This is described in a notice in the manual. See page 15.

Macbook Pro Retina Trackpad shoots down and left

I bought my MacBook Pro less than 90 days ago. OS X Yosemite. I thought that the trackpad issue (it shoots down and left whenever it feels like it) was due to sensitivity...or perhaps my fingers/hand may be too close to the pad. So I turned all trackpad options off except for the double click and scroll. I also turned off devices that could be interfering with the Macbook - or removed them from the vicinity of my machine. I turned off bluetooth capability.
Still, when I'm using the trackpad...sure enough within a minute the curser swings down the to the left.
As I'm gamer this really ***** - I'll be playing a game and suddenly my screen is minimized and I'm scrambling to open it up again. I'll play the game for another two or three minutes and wooo...there goes my curser! Honestly, it's driving me nuts. This is a brand new machine.
Another Mac owner suggested that I buy a mouse. I haven't used a mouse since I owned a desk top. I just want this machine to work!

It could be connected to interference from other electronics in the immediate area. If you think that is unlikely and you have access to an authorised Apple outlet or store it would be best to take it back and have them sort it. It is under warranty so should cost nothing.

I bought a second hand G4 iBook with iLife 09 on it. I have copied iLife to my new Macbook Pro. The applications would not open, so I did a software update and update all three applications, but they will still not open. Can anyone help?

The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.

I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro. My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook. They are all associated with the same Apple ID. How do I get all of my music on the laptop?

I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro. My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook. They are all associated with the same Apple ID. When I try to sync, I get a warning message stating that I will lose songs on my phone which aren't on the laptop. How transfer my music from my phone to the laptop?

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

What does it mean that my macbook pro freezes until i smack it lightly in the bottom right hand corner by the trackpad???? is this specifically a hard drive problem? I don't know what to do.....

its' been happening a year now maybe?
i have a macbook pro 17" from 2008 or 9.
been a great computer but little things are going now....
for some reason my firewire ports don't like to work and randomly tell me my external drives are disconnected. my firewire 800 doesn't work at all..
my lcd is getting dim.
and the latest thing is my computer will freeze when you're doing something simple like googling something and it will stay frozen until you smack it on teh lower corner next to teh trackpad on the right hand side.
more than annoying.
what can i do?
i was going to try to repair this one, but it seems like it would be more cost efficient to just get a new one...
OH and my keyboard gets more than hot now
AND i can't, for whatever reason, burn any dvds or cds in my drive.. it gives me some random error..
my $h*t$ jacked up.
HELP!

Why did you put up with all those issues for a year?

Pawn shop! They only looked after it for a stranger then the ticket ran out. Will apple accept that sell-on as a bill of sale? I'll give you 50:50 chance on that. Did you see Apple recently refused to unlock an ipad left to a guy by his mother who died of cancer. Apple wanted a court order! (Til it got on the national TV news).
Someone will have to produce the original owner's bill of sale I reckon.

I recently got a hand-me-down Macbook (white) 2010 and want to restore to factory settings. The computer did not come with any discs. It is running 10.6.8 and I purchased 10.6.3 recently to upgrade my MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook?

I want to give the hand-me-down to my kids so they will stay off my MacBook Pro I'd like to start fresh with the MacBook, remove all the former owners information, restore it to factory settings, but it did not come with any installation discs, so I don't know what to do. I recently purchased Snow Lepoard for my 2008 MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook? Also, the former owner purchased Microsoft Office (ugh) with the computer but again, no installation discs. How do I keep that when I restore?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I 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?

My macbook pro hard drive went bad and i bought a new one and installed it. Now i have the old corrupted hard drive in my hand and i am looking to recover my files from it, any suggestions please? too bad i never backed them up.

After you have installed the OSX on the new HDD in your MBP, install the old HDD in an enclosure and connect it to your MBP via USB. Then try to drag and drop your data to the new HDD.
If this proves unsuccessful, you may look for data recovery software on the Internet. There will be free trails to see if it will work or not. If the trial suggests that it will work, then you will have to purchase the software.
The last resort is a professional data recovery service that will offer NO guarantees and charge a lot of money.
As you now can appreciate, backups eliminate such predicaments.

I have a MacBook Pro and I have developed eczema on the palms of my hands. I am worried that it is an allergy to nickel. If it is is there a way to cover the metal. the hand rash is horribly painful.

I have a MacBook Pro and I have developed eczema on the palms of both my hands and I am wondering if this might be an allergic reaction to nickel. If it is, is there a solution out there so that I can still use my Mac?

-> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3869443/
"Although none of the 25 iPhones we tested were found to release either nickel or cobalt by means of the spot test in our study, there is a report of an iPhone 5® model testing positive to nickel through DMG testing49 and Apple MacBook Pro laptops testing positive to nickel using DMG in the literature."

Spot from the hands on the housing of macbook pro

Working behind the macbook pro laptop of 2012 of 13 inches, I found after a while traces from hands where they settle down for the press! It isn't erased by anything. such feeling as corroded paint! what ways of the solution of this problem are? ? ?

None. The aluminum is anodized and those spots will be permanent. Some peoples body chemistry is such that it promotes discoloration of the MBP housing. Gloves or wrist bands are the only ways of minimizing this phenomenon.

Pistol is in my hand. do i shoot macbook pro or me-firefox ok for now. safari 6.1.1 appears to be falling apart.
