Received Mac Book Pro 13" uncharged, is it normal?
I received my new Mac Book Pro 13" yesterday. Welcome pack says that all Apple devices are charged and ready to use... but it didn't power on. I plugged in to charge it and it could start with battery at 0%. I shutdown and it charged fully in 2 hours. Can I be calm (and happy ) or Should I go to Apple Store to change it?
Thank you in advance.
This does seem to be the norm for newer Mac notebooks. There are many reports of brand new Mac notebooks of all models coming with no battery charge. If you do a search of these forum you will find quite a few posts on this subject. Even people that have exchanged the system found the second one they got was the same way.
Whether that is good or bad for the battery I have no idea.

Mac book pro alimentatore e spinotto caldissimo, è normale?
Ho Iniziato ad usare da poco un Mac Book Pro 15. l'alimentatore e lo spinotto dopo poco diventano bollenti.è normale?
gionnizacI think you are concerned with heat from your Macbook Pro. (Google Translate is not perfect)
The amount of heat that is generated is a result of the number and types of applications that are open.
Skype and video applications will create a lot of heat. E-mails and text editing will not create a lot of heat.
The question is, how much heat is being created? The Macbook Pro will tolerate temperatures well into the 90°c range. There are internal shutdown provisions if the Macbook Pro gets too hot.
Download from the Internet istat menus:

When your Macbook Pro gets hot, take a picture of istat menus and post it. Also post a picture of Activity Monitor set to ALL PROCESSES and %CPU to display values from high to low.

TS1713 my power adapter gets very hot on my mac book pro is this normal
my power adapter gets very hot to toutch on my mac book pro is this normal
Hot is normal for the charger but very hot is not. If it were mine It could be that your MBP is drawing too much current. I would take it to the Apple Store and have it checked out.

My hard drive crashed on my Mac Book Pro and I just had it replaced yesterday. After restoring my data, Safari will not open. The error message I continue to receive is "Safari quit unexpectedly" Should I just delete the application and download a new one?

TS2570 My Mac Book Pro will not start up. I ran the AHT and received the following error:
My Mac Book Pro will not start up. I ran the AHT and received the following error: 4SNS/1/40000000:Th0H-90.750. Anyone know what this means?
I have no idea how much it will cost to repair. I don't even know what the exact problem will prove to be. It may be quick if it isn't a motherboard problem. I just don't know. Take it in for a service diagnostic, then they can tell you what is involved.

I erase my mac book pro to factory setting and cannot re-install the software. I received a message saying my Apple ID has not yet used with the App store. Please review your account information. Could anyone help please. I need to re-install my os.
Use Internet Recovery. You shouldn't need an AppleID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
Internet Recovery will install the OS that shipped with the Mac. You can then upgrade to Mavericks if that was not it.
Do you have an App Store account? Did you ever use it to install the OS? -

I receive a mail with this promotion: Pick up a Mac or the new iPad by 9/21. Get a gift card for apps.. But I recently bought a Mac Book Pro in a Chicago store, and I do not get an extra credit
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -

Recently I bought a Mac book pro online, but I was surprised when I received it because there are no DVDs at all with it. Is this normal?
Ziatron-
That is a really great question! It took some digging to find the answer!
On an older Mac, about 2010 or older, you need access to one of:
• The Mac App Store ( such as on a Mac with a working 10.6.8 or better)
• working Recovery HD
• a bootable 10.7 Installer, on thumb drive, Hard drive, or DVD
So for ONE 2010 or older Mac with a bad drive, you would have to buy the US$70 Apple thumb drive, or have previously made a DVD or Hard Drive when you previously downloaded 10.7. Or you re-install 10.6.8 then overwrite it with the downloaded 10.7.
• another Mac with 10.7 installed so you could transfer Recovery HD to the down Mac with "Lion Recovery Disk Assistant"
OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant
On some 2010 and most 2011 models, if Recovery HD is messed up or not Installed, but you have a working Broadband connection [with DHCP enabled], the Firmware has been upgraded so it will boot from the Internet and do the whole job using "Lion Internet Recovery" as described in the second section of this glossy article:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
If no DHCP is available [no Router upstream, either yours or your ISP's], it may not work. -
When turning on Macbook pro laptop I receive a blank screen for a few seconds, then a folder with a ? is displayed and remains as if the computer is now Frozen. Mac book Pro leopard operating system. What can I do to get past the freeze?

Boot from the install DVD and see what Disk Utility says. -
I am trying to upgrad the hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive. I can only get so far throughj the process where its about to start cloing when I get a message " error 254". Any idea what that means and how do I get around this issue so I can use my new hard drive? Thanks for your input.
VinceConnect the HDD to your MBP. Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field. The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on the Erase button.
Then try the clone process again. You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

When calling from the Mac book pro it shows up on my iPad and will say connecting but never connects. On the Mac book it just keeps ringing
I can't believe it!! But this answers my question. I pair up quickly between my iphone5 and iMac, but cannot transfer pics from my iphone to the iMac over Bluetooth as I expeceted I would easily be able to do. After all, I did this with my old Mac and a simple Motorola cell phone years ago.
So, the answer is that file transfer from iphone5 is not supported. Really!!
Not sure why capabilites have regressed, this is disappointing, but thanks for the answer, at least I know to stop beating my head against the wall searching for some hidden box to check. This seemed like such an obvious capability between Apple devices I couldn't understand why I was having such difficulty. It seemed like it would be seamless, but it can't be done. Baffling. -
Mac Book Pro constantly displays spinning wheel of death HELP!!!
My Mac Book Pro (after installing Mavericks) displays the spinning wheel of death multiple times per day. I thought it was my Google Chrome, but now it has been happening no matter what application I am using. I used Etrecheck to see what is going on with my computer, but I don't actually know what the output means. I've copied the information below.
More information: I no longer have a Blackberry, but I don't know how to remove any software that may still be on my computer (since I see Blackberry listed under Kernel Extensions). I also backed up my harddrive on the 28th, just to be safe.
I would greatly appreciate any and all help with this. I'm in the process of trying to study for mulitple teacher certification exams, so this is the worst possible time for tmy computer to suddenly go haywire. Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to help!

yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then.
