What's wrong, my MBP works fine!

After 30 years or so on a PC I moved to a Mac. I'm running Lion on a 2011 MBP. I upgraded to Lion with no trouble. My battery lasts long enough; 6-7 hours depending on what I do. I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and was back at work in about 25 minutes.
What am I doing wrong? It all works flawlessly they way it's supposed to

Glad to hear it! Or should I be sorry?

MBP works fine ... but no display

i didn't write "Black Screen" - but that is what it is!
I posted this as a tag on someone elses thread, thought I'd get some attention better this way ... PLeaSe
apologies for centered text but it hides off screen if I enter it normal
So :-
completely nothing at all on the screen, MBP is working fine with external monitor - via mini display port - DVI adaptor (am using it now!)
I have repaired many Ti books including complete rebuilds, also several Macbooks
so have some ability to "get in there" - not done so with an MBP yet so...
I (think I) have all the required tools
Any pointers bar "take it to Apple store" appreciated (it's out of warantee)

In system preferences, under "universal access" (little blue logo representing a person), check to see if you haven't got the grey levels checkbox checked. It's the only thing I can think of.

What scenarios Multiproviders don't work fine

In what scenarios the multiprovider will not work fine from the modeling perspective?
Sourav

Hi,
In the case of modeling a MP with a rear combinational info provider or the info providers which has very poor one-to-one combinational key figures relation / no relation would messup the whole Multiprovider modelling...
Thanks=points.

Screen showing USB cable...what's wrong? Connections are fine.

We were setting up our apple tv and everything was working well. Then we did a system update and moved the apple tv and suddenly on screen the USB cable icon appeared on the screen and we can't go any further. All connections are fine. What next?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
Do not disconnect your Apple TV's power cable during the restore process.

Can"t get my system to work with smart board notebook. What's wrong? it worked before I upgraded.

Is it compatible? See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

My mac pro charging but wont start up whats going on? Was working fine till yesterday and i shut down and havent been able to turn it on today

My macbook pro will not start up. Its charging and fully charged but wont start. Was fine till yesterday when keyboard stopped typing and then shut down and now wont start up

If after an SMC reset it will not power on then I suggest you take it to an Apple store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for a diagnostic check and estimate of repairs.

or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country

What is wrong with safari working with adobe 10.1.3

I updated my adobe reader yesterday and the new update is horrible. When I view an adobe document in safari it is slow and sometimes unresponsive. I can no longer use my magic trackpad in order to zoom in and out. I cannot even print the document I am viewing. Any help?

In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
If a Finder window opens with that item selected, delete it, then quit and relaunch Safari.

My e-mail is corrupted and I can no longer access so what is wrong? It works on other browsers so Tech support said problem lies in browser. ps I have printed

Not sure how long ago...a few weeks...I thought it was a problem with bell provider so went there first.
They did diagnostics and recommended I contact you since I can obtain my e-mail through other browsers. I can access internet without difficulty but when I sign into e-mail account through hotmail my e-mail page is jumbled and looks skeletal. I cannot access any of the messages as if I press on any one it does not come up. I have taken a screen print but I do not know how to import it here. I imagine it is some interaction between your browser and my computer but I am clueless as to how or where to start....

Mail working fine except create new mail

(On a Mac Luxo under OS X Tiger 10.4.11 with Mail 2.1.3 managing 9 mail accounts, 7 IMAP and 2 POP boxes.)
Since two days, it was impossible to create a new mail (or create a reply).
Mail hung and the color wheel turns and turns… without taking more processor time (Activity Monitor).
Force Quit and retry = idem.
Repairing and cleaning the Mail database = Mail more responsive but the problem remains.
Repairing the rights with Disk Utilities = no change, same bad result.
Trying again, doing something else… and when I came back, the new window was there ! And sending works perfectly. So I tried once more but the problem is still there except that now, I wait…and after 7 minutes the window opens ! Yes 7 minutes !
How can it be that everything works except this very long time to create a new mail ?

And here is the solution !
System Preferences > .Mac > delete account informations (ID and password)
(Now that we had to migrate to iCloud, .Mac is no use any more !
A pity that « migration ». Shame on you Apple ! What about all those materials working fine… till end of June; do we have to trash all of them ? For me, it 6 machines : 2 iMacs, 2 iPhones and 2 iTouch !

Went through the process last night and my ipod now works fine on my docking station.
Thank you very much for your advice.

HT1498 I just bought Apple TV 2 weeks ago. I have a brand new Samsung LED TV. Everything works fine. I rented a movie from iTunes and it took 4 hours to download. My friend said this is wrong, his movies play instantly, so what's wrong?

My battery reads that it is 100% charged. However, as soon as I unplug it, it dies instantly. The battery lights are still functional, and everything else is working fine! What's wrong with my battery?

Sounds like it may need to be replaced. Contact Apple.

Hi
The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0
(Or just set the fader manually in MS)

HT4759 i cannot get the icloud to load any of my apps. What is wrong tonight? It worked fine earlier and yesterday.

You said:
"whatever is attached to usb port is not recognized and there are no drivers."
This imples that your computer does not see any device, not just the iPod when it is connected ot a USB port. This points to a major problem with Windows or a hardware problem. Use the WIndow's troubleshooting to get the USB ports to work.

What's wrong, my MBP works fine!
