Two MacBook Pro Questions, Help!

Hi all, I'm currently going through two seperate problems with my currents macbook pro.  I bought it in summer 2010 and all the software is updated.
In the past 24 hours, I have gotten the "Your mac has restarted because of a problem," 3 times. And it is starting to freak me out because I have seen it could be logic board, GPU, hardware, etc.  I reset my PRAM/NVRAM, today as well. I don't have apple care and my warrenty is already expired, plus I am a college student with a budget, and I really don't live close to an apple store for the genius bar, I have been thinking maybe Geek Squad but I heard they are overpriced. I have no idea what to do.
The other issue is an odd one, my wireless connection is acting weird.  I use Google Chrome as my browser and some websites load and others do not.  For example twitter will load but facebook will not. I just get the "no data received" message. I have reset my modem (main and router) and have also tried using other browsers (Firefox and Safari) and the same problem happens on both browsers. This right now ***** because I have homework I need to submit online and my schools blackbload will not load to submit assignments. 
If Anyone has any idea on any of these issues, PLEASE any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Your model is subject to a replacement program for the logicboard due to a defective GPU. It lasts 3 years from the date of purchase. If this is already expired, Apple may or may not still replace your logicboard. It is ultimately at the discretion of the store manager. If you don't qualify, your other option would be a flat rate repair, for ~$300, which Apple will repair anything wrong with the machine for this fee. See the user tip and support article below:

  • My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
    I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
    If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

  • Can two Macbook Pro's share the same Itunes folder(all media in Ituens) on an external drive (like Time Capsule)? How and what issues may arise?

    Hey, I have two macbook pros (250 gb). They are both running out of space. My first thought was to share an iphoto library off of Dropbox or our Time Capsule. But, I heard that if one file gets corrupted (interenet cuts out, for example) then the whole library gets corrupted. Well, we're full again and now I am wondering if I could move our Itunes folders to our Time Capsule, sync/sort them both so there won't be any duplicates and then use this as a shared itunes library. So first, is this possible? Both computers share the same itunes account.
    Second, if I do, and I purchase a song, show, whatever, does it automatically be added to the itunes library on our Time Capsule and then it is available for both computers to access? Or do  I need to "import" it on both?
    Third, does the "file corruption" issue listed above pertain to itunes?
    I saw a discussion about this but it was form 2008. I am sure things have changed a bit since then.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Is there a way to use two macs to run one app? I want to use my two macbook pros processors in a shared capacity.

    I have two macbook pros a 2.4ghz and a 2.2ghz. Is there a way to use the other macbook pro to help with any cpu intensive apps like audio and video apps. I haven't had much luck on finding anything about sharing resources. It would be awesome if you could link up two macs and use both of them to power through processor intensive tasks.

    Yep here you go.

  • Double backup two MacBook Pros each physically connected to their own external disks?

    We have two MacBook Pros 17" (an early 2008 and a late 2011) connected by WiFi, both running OSX 10.9.3 and each physically connected to their own My Book external disks.  After I started the first MacBook Pro's backup to add the second MacBook Pro's external disk, I couldn't set up the second MacBook Pro's backup to add the first MacBook Pro's external disk.  Each of these My Book external disks had previously been used for backing up each MacBook Pros.  None of the help pages helped. 

    On the computer to which the drives are connect enable File Sharing via Sharing preferences. Select the drives you want shared and CTRL- or RIGHT-click then select Get Info from the contextual menu. In the upper pane is a checkbox labeled "Shared." Check the box to enable sharing the device.
    On the other computer select Connect to Server from the Finder's Go menu. Click on the Browse button to locate the shared computer. Double-click on the icon which should bring up a login dialog. Log into the admin account of the shared computer using the Registered User button. You will then be prompted for the admin password of the account. Enter it and click on the OK button. This should connect you and provide access to the shared computer and devices connected to it that have been marked as shared.
    For more help select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing."

  • I have two MacBook Pros. Can I use one Apple ID?

    I have two MacBook Pros and I really would like to use just one Apple ID. Can I link my facetime (and imessage) to my phonenumber on both or just on one computer? My phone number is linked to my apple id already and I have it linked to one macbook. I just want to know if I can do that for both.

    You can link up to 10 devices and 5 computers with your apple id for iTunes, and one will work for FaceTime or Messages just fine on both of your computers :-)

  • My external hard disk not working properly in my macbook pro . anyone help me . its seagate  hard disk

    You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk.  There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free.  I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac.  You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

  • Is there an adapter to hook up a firewire from a cannon gl2 to a MacBook Pro?  The firewire end is too big to fit in the MacBook Pro laptop help.

    After identifying the exact connectors you need, check the Apple Store online and/or eBay...you should be able to buy a cable with the correct connector on each end, rather than fooling with an adapter.

    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

  • New Mobile Account works on only one of two MacBook Pros

    I am setting up mobile accounts for my small company. I have two accounts, two MacBook Pros and one MacMini with OS X Snow Leopard Server. One mobile account works fine on both of my portables and the other one only works on one of the portables.
    On the portable that does not allow the creation of the mobile account I get a message at logon stating "Unable to create mobile account... There was a problem creating your mobile account".
    The /var/log/secure.log on the MacBook Pro has these entries:
    loginwindow[46]: Login Window - Returned from Security Agent
    loginwindow[46]: AuthorizationRef returned an error (-60006), with username = randy.kahle
    loginwindow[46]: This indicates that a SecurityAgent plugin has returned something other than errAuthorizationDenied (usually cancelled) after the auth record is set up.
    All of the entries in secure.log indicate that authentication was fine and the home directory mounts occurred correctly.
    Both the OS X 10.6.4 server and client have the latest software updates.
    -- Randy Kahle

    Yup, that did the trick.  The other Macbook had sharing on.
    Thanks
