Hi leptones, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'm not sure if your warranty expires in 8 more days or it already expired 8 days ago? If you're still under warranty, I would definitely call AppleCare or go to an Apple Store or AASP; they can troubleshoot it and determine if it's something that needs fixing while you're still under warranty (if you are).

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
This, Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70, is the current version of Flash. It should work with Snow Leopard or later. -
I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like microsoft office products ...excel, word etc. I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
13-inch: 2.6GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!

Possible hard drive problem with MacBook Pro? PLEASE HELP!!!
MacBook Pro loads to login screen with my personal account (which shows a grey silhouette) my student account(shows custom pic) and guest account(same grey silhouette) there is no feedback when I click on anything. I have restarted it multiple times & don't get anywhere with it. I just updated stuff on the macbook prior to this incident. I need help because I have all of my business, school, and personal things on this machine. What could be the cause of this? Why is it happening? I need it fixed ASAP as I have work that needs to be completed
P.S. I am unsure of the exact operating system but it was the Mountain Lion that it came with. I was planning on upgrading to Mavericks tonight until this problem arose"Any drive can fail at any time."
Don't update anything until you have a large-ish external drive and Time Machine or other backup working.
You dodged a bullet this time. Next time, maybe you will not be so lucky. -
Help! Have a serious problem with macbook pro!, please see description!
so, this must have been about a month ago at the most when it started playing up. basicly, I noticed that A-it has all of a sudden become allot slower than before, B- applications are crashing regularly, this seems to be getting worse and worse, C- i had an incident once or twice where for no reason what so ever the macbook pro simply shut down and restarted for no reason, and with no error message, (though the more recent sudden shut downs give me a message on restart).
I first investigated the problem when I was playing skyrim, using bootcamp of course to run windows, as I do with many games. After owning the game for about two weeks, and it playing fine, it just crashed and bluescreened all of a sudden without warning, and from that moment on i was unable to play the game since every 5 or so mins in it would crash to desktop or just bluescreen. i thought that this was an error with steam or with the game, and so i looked for help on the steam forum. as i was going through various methods to solve the problem, it seemed that the problem was worsening, since the windows partition begun to bluescreen more often for no reason, and then i noticed that the mac os partition was unexpectedly shutting down for no reason more often aswell, and so i have abandoned my attempts to fix what i thought was an error with windows, and i now believe that it is something more serious. im not so sure what i should do in order to solve this, i know my way around a computer, but im not genius at them, and so i have come to the apple forum seeking help!!
here i have attatched info that may help, and by the way, it is 64 bit windows 7 that is installed on the bootcamp partition.
the following message on the bluescreen report makes me think its something to do with the graphics drivers, and so i reinstalled all of the drivers on windows, but this did absolutely nothing unfortunately. 'dxgmms. sys error'UPDATE: after verifying and repairing permisions using disk doctor, things seemed to be on the up, but i think this was just hopefull thinking, since it has now got A LOT worse. i can no longer log in to my mac os partition, as soon as i get to the log in page where i type my password in, after typing it in and pressing enter, it will log in for a few seconds and then before i have a chance to do anything, log me out!! this is very very odd indeed!!!

Problems with macbook pro abroad URGENT
Hello everyone, my name is Tobias and I am a new macbook pro user currently studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. I had a great two month start with my mac and then all of a sudden, it stopped charging. Everything was working fine, then it died and the green light would not show up when I attempted to charge it. So I brought it down to the local service center, thinking that it was something that was under my first year warranty. They got back to me in a week saying it was in fact not under my warranty because it was water damage. I have no idea how this happened and I am upset to say the least. Now the authorized service center tells me that they will contact apple and get back to me with a price of how much it will cost to repair it. I was wondering if I have any other options than to pay their huge sum to fix it. I have heard of some sites, such as safeware.com, that will insure your mac in case of spills, etc. Can/ Should I take that route? As I said before, I am a new mac user and am completely unsure of what to do. Any help that can be brought forth will be more than greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
TobiasTobias: There are several small "labels", for lack of the right word, inside the machine that change color if they are exposed to liquids. When those have changed color, it is assumed that the machine has suffered liquid damage (typically a spill, but any single drop of moisture that gets into the wrong place can trigger a change in color). Such damage is not covered by AppleCare, and to put the machine back in like-new condition so it won't appear to be liquid damaged again if it ever goes back for another repair, the parts that contain the liquid-sensing labels and any other parts that appear to have gotten wet are replaced as a matter of course. This is all quite apart from whatever the owner's actual complaint about the machine was; repairing that may involve replacing additional parts. This is going to be very expensive for you. You should be sure to find out whether your original Apple warranty and/or the AppleCare Protection Plan you may have added to it will be back in effect again if you have the repairs done, or whether any warranty coverage has been permanently invalidated. That information may help you decide whether it's worth paying for the repair, or whether it would be a better investment just to replace the machine instead.
Note that I have no comment either way on the presence or absence of actual water damage in your machine: we can't say anything about that because we don't know the facts at first hand. Ask to have the moisture sensors shown to you, at the very least. -
NEED HELP. Problem with Video iChat
Hi there. I'm kind of new to the Mac world. I have a MacBook with Leopard. I seem to having a problem getting a video chat session up and running. I can iChat no problem but if I send a video chat invite the person gets it and accepts it but I receive an error message stating that i did not receive a response. The person that I'm sending the invite to is also on a MacBook using Tiger. I have a .Mac account and she does not. She is using her AIM account. I believe that she also received an error message about an invalid IP. Any suggestions?
Same problem.
But I can video chat with other people, this issue only affects 1 person, and they too can chat with other people, but when we try it fails with her seeing the IP error, I get a the other person didn't respond msg. Which just adds to the confusion. I used to be able to conference with her so this is a new error. Both video and voice only chats are affected, text chats still work.
I'm on 10.5.1 on a G5 Mac Pro and she is on 10.4.x on an Intel MacBook Pro
I can't be sure but it may have started after I upgraded to 10.5, but I also recently updated my Netgear (DG834G) firmware to V3.01.31. I've tried opening up various ports, checked everything that has been mentioned on here to date. The error is 100% reproducible with this specific person, and I can still conference with other people but I think they are all on 10.5.x -

If this is of any interest to you, I will add that I just received my new 2.4 15-inch MacBook Pro on Wednesday (ordered on 7/31). I love it. I also owned five different powerbooks through the years prior to this, so I'm obviously someone who is both enthusiastic about and comfortable with Macs (keep that in mind).
They do list the amount of time they'll need BEFORE shipping, but if that's an issue you can always try someplace like macmall, who can overnight one to you if they have them in stock (last time I checked they did). That does prevent you from making any customized changes to your machine however.
So far, I haven't encountered any of the problems being discussed here. The computer does get warm (just like my titanium and aluminum powerbooks), but if that's a big concern just get a MacBook. That material doesn't transmit heat like these do. I perused these boards quite a bit beforehand to familiarize myself with the situation, like yourself. From prior powerbook ownership, I know to remind myself that this is a place people come when they have problems. I really think Ned's hospital analogy is a good one. Also remember, many of the issues being posted here are caused by something the people are doing wrong or just don't realize there is an easy fix for.
My non-scientific guess at the breakdown of people on the boards is as follows:
60% - people having problems who'd never be here otherwise
20% - super knowledge mac-heads who like to help others
15% - mac users who like to expand their knowledge
5% - people simply working out other issues (anger, loneliness, etc.) -
Problems With Macbook Pro HD Change
Hey guys,
I have a late 2010 Macbook Pro Unibody i5 and I have recently tried a fresh install with my snow leopard disc, however when I boot from disc, I just get the grey screen and cant run the installers. From researching the net its alledgedly to do with my hardware being newer then the software on the disc.
My main concern here is that I want to change my HD to an SSD and will obviously need a fresh install. If i change the HD, will I be able to install OSX from this disc or will I need a different software package?
I dont have the original disc's anymore, I have recently moved home from Uni and cant find the box or the discs. I have tried to contact apple to get replacements but Im having no luck!
Any feedback is really appreciated!
Thank you,Star,
Do you have a Time Machine back-up? When I bought my SSD, I started up with a Lion Installer on a USB flash drive, re-inited the SSD, and installed everything from my Time Machine back-up, all with no problems. If you don't have a TM back-up, I suggest getting an inexpensive drive that will be about twice as large as your SSD and backing up. Then I would invest in Lion, downloaded from the App Store and making a USB boot drive. Boot from the USB drive, restore your backup to the new SSD, ad you'll be in business. Depending on the size of your current drive and the SSD, you should be able to get a backup disk fairly cheap and a 8GB USB drive ($8 or under) and get the Lion upgrade for $30. You can then use Lion DiskMaker to create the boot drive.
Hope this helps,

Weird problem with Macbook Pro 15" and Asus PB278 monitor
Hi there
I recently bought a brand new MacBook pro 15" the one with a dedicated nvidia 750 vid card. However I'm facing weird problems while connecting it to a external monitor Asus PB278 (1440p monitor). I use a mini display port to display port cable.
My problem is: Sometimes it works perfectly, but then if I put the laptop to sleep, sometimes it won't recognise the screen at wake up, at first I tried to restart the system, power on and off the monitor, connecting and reconnecting the cable... nothing worked. I even bought a expensier cable thinking it was probably a low quality cable. I found that then only way to fix this is to connect the monitor with a mini display to HDMI cable I have (won't support over 1080p), and then put the mini display to display port cable again... it is freaking bizarre.
This is very frustrating, I live outside the US and while the retailer will honor the guarantee I'm not sure if this is a Software or Hardware problem, It will take them about 3 weeks to replace my system which is unfortunate due to I have plenty of work to do. I don't want to send it on guarantee just to find out hey... display recognition is broken again. My questions are:
Is there a way to know if this is a hardware or software problem?
I've heard Yosemite is having some issues regarding external displays, is this one of those?
Have you found yourself experiencing this problem? Could you fix it?
Sorry if my english is a bit weird, thanks in advance.Hi Gatobolo,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that you've discovered unusual behavior with your MacBook Pro and an external display, where you need to temporarily connect a different display adapter before you can use your Asus PB278 again.
I can offer some additional tips to help resolve or further isolate the issue you're seeing.
First, try the following resets to see if they eliminate the behavior:
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Next, if the issue occurs again, try restarting your Mac into Safe Mode:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
You can find the steps above in this article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
If your display is recognized in Safe Mode, or after restarting again, the issue may be due to a software conflict.
Another suggestion mentioned in the article above is to try a different type of display adapter, such as a Mini DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI adapter.
If the issue persists, you can also back up your data, erase your hard drive, and reinstall a fresh copy of OS X Yosemite.
OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X
If the issue still occurs after a clean install, troubleshooting the hardware may be necessary.

Please see this Apple article that helps with battery life and heating issues:
Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity - Apple Support
The article was written before OS 10.9 and 10.10, so you need to make a change in Step 3 for 10.10. To make the required change from "My Processes" to All Processes," you need to use Activity Monitor's "View" menu now:
Another thing that is not clear in the article is that you will not get good results if you run the test immediately after a restart. Use the computer normally for about a day so that any runaway processes are activated, then run the test.
