Video scrabbled on 15" Macbook Pro made in 2009

I see that Mac is offering money back on video cards that went bad on 2007 and 2008 video graphic cards, but I took my out of warranty Macbook Pro 15 in. to the Apple Store and the woman said we did not fall under the dates Apple approved for the money back for the repairs. Just wondering if anyone else is having this scrabbled video issue with there Macbook Pro?

They only hooked it up to a external monitor and the Macbook Pro never had a issue. But when we started the Macbook Pro up the woman saw the vidoe get distorted and flicker and then it never showed any signs of a problem after that while we were at the apple store, she told us to send it away and they would fix anything wrong for a flat rate of 300 dollars. Not sure I am ready to fork out that money until I research this problem further. The macbook is well taken care of and it passed the TechTool Deluxe Tests just fine. Now a week later is acting up again with the scrabbled screen issues. Not sure if heat as anything to do with it?

    I've partitoned Windows swell and it says the same thing? I'm trying to live capture from my Sony Camcorder through Elgato but I just get the above message?

    This means that the backups were made with a later version than the version currently on the phone. You will have to update the phone to 6.1.3 to be able to restore the backup. You can restore a backup made with an earlier version, but not with a later version.

  • Transfer video from ipad2 to macbook pro?

    Is there a way to transfer video from ipad2 to macbook pro?  I took some videos and would like to transfer it so I can edit it on imovie.  I'm surprised that iphoto doesn't recognize videos to transfer from ipad2 to macbook pro.   It seems like it only does it for photos.   Videos should be included. 

    Sunflower5-
    Reading your question, I made a short video on my iPad 2.  It showed up in the Photos camera roll.
    Running iPhoto and connecting the iPad to my Mac Pro, I selected the iPad under DEVICES.  The video was at the end of the photos, I selected it and clicked on "Import Selected".  I then dragged the imported video to my desktop and it played in QuickTime Player when I double-clicked it.
    Then I tried it with Aperture.  The dragged copy appeared to play in QuickTime Player, but the screen was black.  However an Exported Version played correctly.

  • 128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?

    128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?
    meaning, can it do this well???

    Even 16 MB VRAM would be enough to display a 2D picture on the 30".
    Depending on 3D usage you need much VRAM.
    Unless you are using a lot of the latest 3D games or Apples 3D pro apps (Motion/Shake or something like that) 128 MB should be fine.

    QuickTime Pro costs a few buck but is a good tool to have on hand as it can open and transcode a wide variety of video and audio formats.
    It's like a Swiss Army knife for media files.

  • Video died on my MacBook Pro, question on Time Machine

    Hi -
    The video died on my MacBook Pro (2007 - after some research I see there was a recall on it due to a manufacturer's defect). I hadn't backed up in a few months - so would like to back it up before I take the computer into the store. I have mounted the MacBook Pro on another computer by pressing Option + Power and all seems fine on the hard drive. I did try to run Time Machine though, and the computer doesn't seem to recognize that it has backed up on this same drive previously - it wants to back up the entire computer. Is there a way for the MacBook Pro to recognize the firewire drive and run Time Machine as it did before? I am running  OS 10.6.8
    Thank you!

    I had done that as well (used Carbon Copy Cloner too! ) but I was concerned in the case I had to buy a new computer with a later OS (and being unable to mount the old drive/OS on the new computer to transfer the data - I ran into that issue earlier) - but I see now there is also a Migration Assistant that can help with that if I do indeed have to buy a new machine. Thank you!

  • How can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3

    Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

    Sean and Andy -
    I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
    So here's what does NOT work for me... 
         (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
         (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
         (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
         (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
         (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
         (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'--  routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
         (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
         (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID! 
    So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ???  As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
    Any advice would be appreciated!  TIA.

  • I downloaded a web site isytd video downloader on my macbook pro, to download videos. but it didnt  work , so I removed the softwear from my mac, even I removed it the download sign appears on the left top of my video screen,  so I want to remove this

    I downloaded a web site isytd video downloader on my macbook pro, to download videos. but it didnt  work , so I removed the softwear from my mac, even I removed it the download sign appears on the left top of my video screen,  so I want to remove this download sign. How can I get this done? Please help me.

    Many apps are not completely removed if the .app file is trashed (which is what I believe you've done so far).
    If you don't want to dig through the system to manually remove library files, I recommend the use of AppCleaner, which does the job for you.

    I have a MacBook Pro made in mid 2009.  A fully recharged battery dies in about 2 hours.  Is this a systems issue or do I have to replace the battery?  The battery has about 100 cycles on it.

    Try a SMC reset:

    If this is an original battery, even with a low cycle count, it is old and probably should be replaced.

  • Steps in upgrading HDD to SSD on Macbook Pro 13 Mid 2009

    I need help in upgrading the RAM and Storage in my MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2009. I have bought 8GB Memory and 512 GB SSD from Crucial.com. I have watched a lot of Youtube Videos on how to install them but I am afraid I am still missing some things I need to do.
    I have created a back up on an external drive and have been updating it regularly. I have also created a back up on Time Machine (I think I did).
    Is there anything else I need to do? How about the OSX? Do I need to create a back up for it? Or is it part of the back up I have on an external drive?
    Please help! Thank you.

    " I have also created a back up on Time Machine (I think I did)."
    Check this out:
    http://macintoshhowto.com/repair/back-up-computer.html
    Once you think you've done it correctly restart and hold down the option key or go to "System Preferences" under the Apple and look at "Startup Disk".
    That will tell which Disks are bootable.
    Now about that Crucial drive:

    It's not clear to me that this issue was resolved. The last post goes nowhere!
    I always use OWC:
