Safe to leave NEW macbook pro in sleep mode all day?

This is my first Macbook Pro and wonder if it's safe to leave this thing in sleep mode plugged in all day while at work? I did this w/my ibook but read some stories of the Macbook Pro catching fire??
What's going on with this rumor?
Thanks!

You're probably referring to PowerBooks equipped with the faulty Lithium-ion batteries from Sony ? I haven't been around lately but I've never heard of Macbook Pros catching fire. The MBPs use Lithium polymer batteries that don't contain the flammable organic solvents found in Lithium-ion batteries.

Is it better to leave your macbook pro in sleep mode during the night or have it shutdown all night?

Is it better to leave your macbook pro in sleep mode during the night or have it shutdown all night?

During sleep, your MacBook consumes a little part of the battery, so it won't harm leaving it in sleep mode. Also, you will be able to start using it quickly, as you don't need to wait until Mac OS X turns on.
I only recommend you to turn off the MacBook if you are not going to use it for days in order to save battery, but apart from that, you don't need to turn it off

New MacBook Pro with Leopard - beachballs all day

Posting here as my guess is this is Leopard related. I have beachballs all day everyday. Nearly every program. Yes, yes I have repaired permissions many, many times. Yes I have booted to the instal DVD and done a repair disk.
My machine is freezing constantly - to the point where computing is no longer enjoyable - it's work. I have 1/10 the problems with Windows XP on my (work-provided) Thinkpad.
Is this OS still unstable - or is it time to look elsewhere. I just bought this supposedly "top flight" MBP. Up til now this has been a huge, huge disappointment. I don't even know where to turn to now.

I have started having the same problem, after a 10.5.5 upgrade and a failed hard drive that i replaced and did a clean install and then restore of files, applications and settings from time capsule. I have done the permissions repair and disk repair -- alot went away but it is creeping back with longer and more frequent beach balls of half minute or longer. I also did hardware test (extended) and no problems. So hardware seems ok, clean install up to 10.5.5 and then restore of the other stuff, so what gives? I am at a impasse which sounds similar to this thread!

Carry MacBook Pro while sleeping mode

Hello should i leave my macbook pro to sleep while i'm carrying this on my bag?
is it safe?

I do. Some people say not to, some say its ok, but I did it in grad school and 2+ years later my mac is fine. I would turn it off duering long trips and put it to sleep during short ones.

HT1386 I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New song that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

Hey Etti101,
I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

Serious problems waking up my MacBook Pro from sleep mode

I have quite frequent problems waking my MacBook Pro from sleep mode - often it results in either a black or a totally scrambled screen and only a hard reset will cure the problem (for this time). I have tried to pinpoint whether a certain program that I use last before putting the computer to sleep is responsible, but all attempts so far have failed. The error seems random, but is very annoying since one in about three or four wake-up actions are affected!
I use Parallels Desktop during the day running Windows XP, and in the evenings I use mainly Safari and Mail under OSX. The only other program always open is Mori - a notes/information management tool.
Anyone with similar problems? Any advice??
Cheers,

MacBook Pro 15 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello,
I was browsing the 'downloads' section of the Apple support page and I saw a firmware update that might help you out.
It is called the "MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2" and it is supposed to fix "several Boot Camp, start up, and wake-from-sleep issues on MacBook Pro computers."
The web address is ( http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookproefifirmwareupdate12.html )
If that doesn't fix it call Apple care.
Good Luck.

USB doesn't wake up after waking MacBook Pro from Sleep Mode

I have a problem with my new MacBook Pro.
I attach an Apple 20" cinema display to the macbook pro USB connector and then I attach my apple keyboard and mouse to my cinema display.
When I wake up my macbook from being asleep my mouse and keyboard are not activated. I have to unplug my cinema display USB connector and unplug my keyboard from the display and then plug them all back in again to get them to re-activate.
Anybody know why this is occurring, its very frustrating each time my machine goes to sleep

In that case, does the problem still exist when starting up the MBP in Safe mode and then putting it to sleep and awakening it?

I'm using CS6 with my new macbook pro why is it all pixalized

just downloaded the trial for the 30 day of photoshop CS6 on my new MACBOOK PRO with retina display and its very very pixalzed. WHY?!

It shouldn't be at all. I'm running Photoshop CS6 on a 2011 MBP and it's working fine. The only thing that I can figure out is that you may not be running at the recommended resolution? What res are you working in? Photoshop is not yet optimized for the full screen display max on the MBP-R.

Will I be able to fit multiple Sims 3 games on my new MacBook Pro/how to transfer ALL music to new laptop?

I'm receiving a new MacBook Pro for the next school year. I really would like to know if the Sims 3 base game, Late Night and Generations plus a bunch of extra custom content would fit on my computer and still run fast/without problems? Also, I really must know how to move every bit of music from iTunes and other music purchases from other music databases onto my new computer.
I hope this is enough information.
Thank you so much!

If formatted NTFS, your Mac can read, but not write to the drive.

New MacBook Pro in Sleep and Restarts Due to Problem

I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro and my MBP will go into the screen saver/sleep mode while I am not using it. However, when I click the trackpad so I can sign back in, my MBP freezes and restarts. Once it finishes restarting it pops up with an error message stating that it restarted due to a problem. I've done a hardware check and I've updated all the software, and no known issues were found. I do not know what could be causing the problem, any ideas as to what might be the problem?

I tried to understand those posts, but don't really.
I can see all my backups just fine, but for instance the folder "documents" or "desktop" will have the forbidden sign on top of it. So I can't see what's in those folders, cause I don't have permissions to view them. It's not a big problem, and maybe I should delete all the old backups, I just don't understand why I won't be able to view them.
Are you seeing this in Time Machine, or via the Finder?
Time Machine uses special "deny everybody everything" permissions on it's backups, to keep us mere mortals from altering them via the Finder, as that can hopelessly corrupt them.
We may need to know just how you set up your new Mac.
There are two similar ways to do it; the easiest is to use +Setup Assistant.+ When you first started up the new Mac and selected your language, you were asked if you wanted to "transfer" your users, apps, and data (see #19 in theFrequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details).
If you did not select that option, then you would have made one user in the setup process; restarted, then used the +Migration Assistant+ app (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to transfer things.
It sounds like you may have used +Migration Assistant,+ but are not using the same user account to access the backups. Time Machine won't let one user access a different user's backups.
But try the Browse option, per #E2: hold down the Option key while selecting the TM icon in your Menubar, or right-click the TM icon in your Dock. You'll see a selection screen showing all the disks/partitions that have TM backups on them. Select the one you want, and you'll be taken to the normal TM "Star Wars" interface, where you should see all the backups on that disk/partition.

Transporting a Macbook Pro in sleep mode

There are times when it's necessary to transport my Macbook Pro from one location to another. The travel time will vary from 15 minutes to possibly 2 hours. During the trip my computer will either be in a laptop carry bag or a protective sleeve.
Should I completely shut down the Macbook while going from place to place or is it okay to carry it in sleep mode?
Happy Holidays to everyone and thanks in advance for your help.

I've read on these fora that it is important to wait for the sleep light to begin pulsating before shutting you MBP and carting it away.
Yes, it is important to do that. The data is not written to Safe Sleep and the heads aren't parked until the light is pulsing. Definitely don't move it or bump it until that happens.
The reason I probably didn't mention it is because sleep is instantaneous for me now. I decided I could do without the Safe Sleep safety net and so I turned it off. Now I get the pulsing sleep light instantly. I don't necessarily recommend that for everybody, but I couldn't remember the last time my Mac lost data while in sleep so I made a personal decision that I didn't need or want to wait for Safe Sleep.
