What the heck is up with my macbook pro

I just got it back from being repaired by apple because my mbp would not charge. It came back from the repairs with full battery life so i have been using that and now im down to 15 % and i go to plug it in and it won't charge. The charger is brand new as my other one melted and had to be replaced. The computer was just "fixed". brand new charger and supposedly repaired macbook pro that won't charge. any ideas as to what the heck is wrong with it, and will apple keep sending it back for repairs or will they give me a new one?

well it turned out it wasn't the computer, the charger that i had when i received my repaired laptop had been shorted out somehow when i plugged into the laptop before i had it repaired, so apple gave me another charger and it's all good now

Sorry we can't assist with that, you'll have to take it to Apple.

Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

My Imac late 2012 running Yosemite does not recognise my Huawei 3g usb modem. itried to install Java bt still it does not although the same modem works with my MacBook pro . any help please

Hey there mbarikiwa,
If your iMac still has not recognized the usb modem, I would use the troubleshooting for Yosemite USB issues in the following article:
OS X Yosemite: If a USB device isn’t working
If the device is connected to a USB hub:
Make sure the device and the hub are the same speed. Connect USB 3.0 SuperSpeed devices to a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed HUB, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices to a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hub, and so on.
If the device doesn’t have a power cord and is plugged into another USB device that doesn’t have a power cord:
Try plugging the device directly into your computer’s USB port or into a USB device that does have a power cord. You might need to disconnect and reconnect the other device as well, if it has stopped responding.
If you have many devices connected to your Mac:
Disconnect all USB devices except the device you’re testing, an Apple keyboard, and an Apple mouse. Make sure that the device is connected directly to the computer, and that any hubs or extension cables are disconnected. If you can use the device now, the problem may be with one of the other USB devices or hubs you had connected to your computer. Try reconnecting them, one by one, to your computer. When you find the device causing the problem, review its documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
Verify that the device appears in System Information:
Choose Apple menu > About This Mac. In the window that appears, click Overview, then click the System Report button to open System Information.
In the window that appears, see if the USB device is listed below Hardware in the Contents list. If the device appears but does not work, review the device’s documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
Restart apps:
Quit and restart any apps that use the device.
Restart your Mac:
Choose Apple menu > Restart.
Check your device’s USB connection
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Which Canon HD camcorders are the easiest to use with my MacBook Pro?

Hi!
I have a MacBook Pro with Leopard OS, 2GB and imovie 7.4. We are researching HD camcorder options and really like the Canon HG20 or 21 but have concerns for ease of use with my macbook. We won't be doing much editing and really just want to record our vacations on our camcorder and be able to show them on our HDTV's (1080i). If I understand the process, we would have to download our hard disk from the camera into the computer and then copy it to a DVD? Will my computer copy the high def. and if so can I run it on our regular DVD player or would we need a Blu-Ray?
Maybe a better question would be what would be your recommendations for a Canon HD camcorder that is the easiest to use with my MacBook? Would we be better off to go to one with flash disc as opposed to the hard disk? We need to keep this process as simple as possible! Thanks much for any advice or info!

You have been mis informed the MacBook Pro Retina does NOT work with the Apple Remote natively.
The Remote is infra red and your computer doen't have an infra red receiver onboard.
You need to purchase an external infra red receiver as well such as this

WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH SAFARI?

I am using Version 2.0 (412) which came with my Powerbook G4 12" mac (current model). It seems to freeze or quit all the time, especially with ebay.
I used to always send the 'report' to Apple. What exactly does Apple do with these anyway? I'm not sure what my problem is? I have 512Mb of RAM and 80Gb HD. I don't have many other programs open - just itunes and iphoto.
Can anyone help or suggest anything? Many thanks.

Livia, in addition to Jwall's great advice
there are a few other things I'd suggest:
1. Trash your Icons Folder:
HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
(This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
2. You might want to check all three "auto" preferences in Safari. Sometimes those lists gets very long and need pruning. (I turned all autofill boxes off, and have no problems.)
3. If it's been a while since you've shut everything down . . .Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router, then restart your computer.
Hope this helps

What the heck is wrong with mapped instruments?!?

I'm working on scoring a piece I wrote for marching band. I used the orchestral percussion instrument included in L8. I need to work with mapped instruments so that the score for the percussion part is readable, instead of having the bass drum 8 ledger lines below the staff, the crash cymbal 8 above, etc.
Mapped instruments should let me do this, but I think there is a bug. I don't know, I've never done this before.
My bass drum is played on D0, so I've mapped that to the drum group "bass drum". However, when I add the "bass drum" voice to my score style, nothing shows up, just rests. Other drums groups I've created do show up, although not all pitches I've assigned to them (for instance, I have a snare drum roll and a snare drum hit both assigned to the "snare" drum group, but only the hits show up in my score.
***???

I see your point, you're looking at it from score to MIDI. instead of MIDI to score. Mapped instruments DON'T change the note that is played they change the designation on the left side of the hyper editor from a key # to a drum name.. And on page 435 they say it is ideal for custom drum kits.
Where I get lost, and it seem implied to me in the manual that these custom drum hyper sets could be displayed in Score format.. I have tried to make drum score styles, but I just get stuck.
Lately I have gotten into the practise of making full orchestral scores of songs (but doing pop music). I've found it extremely helpful in arranging to be able to see 6 - 10 tracks of instruments and exactly what they are doing in every measure. It's easier to thin things out, fix note conflicts, see where sections or phrases need doubling, re-inforcement, or cutting. Also by doing this, I already have things fully scored out, and I need to make use 'standard music and drum notation'.
You can't change any notes on the DRUM MIDI track , because BFD2 or Superior drums will not play the correct articulation anymore. BFD hats have 9 articulations (different midi note for each hit). Yet you want to still display those in standard drum score as two different note heads on the line of the staff. And a lot of the other kits have a lot of articulations also. The point of it for me was that I could look at the score and fix things from there as song was playing.. And a drummer could look at it and see an accurate drum representation of what the file is playing.
You can easily edit regular instruments from score page, by sliding bass notes, cutting out grace notes etc. But with the drums you have to go back to the midi edit page.. Looking at a drum performance on the piano roll is hard (it's spread out over 5 or 6 octaves). A lot of times they create variations by using a lot of different articulations.
I can easily detect kick, snare, hats, toms on the piano roll, but the alternate articulations are a B*tch. I often drag a lot of the BFD 1 bar MIDI loops into Logic, then arrange those into a performance. But then you need to sometimes go in and 'even out' the hats, or snare hits, etc. Trying to do it on the piano roll, is time consuming, and you want to make sure you don't have two kick notes playing at same time etc, when you are in the midst of cutting, dragging, and pasting sections, of drum data.
I do on occassion make individual one line percussion staves to show congas or exotic percussion. But in general I want to use standard drum notation (kick, snare, hats, cymbals and toms on one drum percussion staff)
Another great reason to understand and use Drum Hypersets, is that you could switch drums midstream. Say you start with BFD drums but then want to move over to Addictive Drums.
I thought it would be possible to create a drum Hyperset to accomodate that. I started to look into it but got too bogged down trying to work it out
If anyone else has worked this out, please jump in..

How do I change the phone number associated with my macbook pro

I have a new macbook pro and it somehow is associated with my husbands phone number and not mine. So when I text it comes from his phone and all contacts associated with his phone. How do I switch it to be my iphone?

Hello RoandCo,
It sounds like Messages on your MacBook Pro is associated with your husbands Apple ID phone number and not yours. On the computer check the Messages Preferences to see which Apple ID is setup with this article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15055
Open Messages on your computer and then:
Choose Messages > Preferences, click Accounts, then select iMessage in the Accounts list.
If the Apple ID is not yours and has the wrong phone number in it, you can sign out of the account and setup your Apple ID instead with the sign out button.

Is the Dell 3115CN compatible with a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion? If so, how can I install the drivers and install the printer on my mac?

I hace a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion OS.... I need to print from time to time but don't have a new printer to go with my new macbook. Would a 3115CN work with it or no? If so, how can I set it up? Setting up a printer on a mac is a bit different from doing so on a windows machine and I am new to the macworld.
All help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. I'm running this printer from 10.6 through 10.9 and it's worked fine with all versions. Dell released updated drivers a while ago that make it much easier to administer this printer.

What Monitor Do You Use With Your Macbook Pro

I was looking into purchasing a new monitor for my Macbook Pro. It is an older one, 15" 2.5 GHz. I was going to bite the bullet and get the Apple 24" LED one knowing it is a great monitor overlooking that price is almost double of other monitors. But looking at the compatibility, I have to get a $150 adapter which I think puts me over the price hit.
Just wondering what monitor/displays is everyone using that don't require a $150 adapter?

Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More info and tell us your Machine ID. This will say MacBook Pro x,y. It is those x,y values we need to know.

Is the magsafe 85W compatible with my macbook pro from 2006?

I've got a MacBook Pro from 2006 - MacBook Pro 2.2 Intel Core 2 Duo and my magsafe that has worked fine all this time is finally giving up on me.
Searching for a replacement have brought me this info from Apple:
"If you receive a replacement MagSafe adapter with a "L" style MagSafe connector when you previously had a "T" style MagSafe connector, the "L" style adapter is fully compatible with your Apple computer."
While this site - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2346 - seems to indicate that I need to use a T-shaped connector..
Does it matter whether I get a T- or an L-shaped connector?
Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Will the new chargers work with my MacBook Pro?

I got my MacBook Pro in December 2007 and yesterday the charger broke. The cord that connects to the magnetic piece ripped off completely.
My question is, will the new chargers apple currently sells work with my late 2007 MacBook Pro?

Yes, see the attached article. Near the bottom is this quote:
Note: Although the replacement adapter may not have the same connector shape ("T" or "L") or wattage as the original adapter that came with your computer, newer adapters should power and charge your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air just like the adapter that originally came with your computer.

What the heck is wrong with AS 3.0?

I'm having a whale of a time with rollovers in AS 3.0. In
this app:
RexMap
The bottom buttons are simple movieclips with an up and over
state.
When you rollover and out of them they are very buggy. They
have listeners and that is is. myButton.gotoAndPlay("over");
The button to the left of the one with the green arrow. This
is for the visible elements on the application. When the pop-up
comes up, "MOUSE_OVER" doesn't work at all!!!! Why?
"ROLL_OVER" is extremely buggy. Try it, works maybe half the
time.
I've been programming in AS for 5 years and 2.0 was perfect
with the rollovers of movieclips. Should I be doing something
different, or is this AS 3.0, for now?
Thanks,
C

I may not have understood what you were after at first. In
my initial
reply, I was thinking you wanted the icon buttons along the
bottom to
continue to respond when the blue swatch was obscuring them.
At this point, I can see what you mean about the OK and
Cancel buttons:
it's easy to fool them by rapidly shaking the mouse. From
what I'm seeing,
I have the following thoughts: your events may be firing more
than once,
because the interior elements of your buttons (the lettering,
the curve
shape) may be active child objects of the buttons themselves
-- for example,
if your text fields are dynamic or of the shapes are movie
clips. So you
may want to set those buttons' mouseChildren properties to
false ...
elementsPopup.boxMC.okBTN.mouseChildren = false;
elementsPopup.boxMC.okBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,
elementsOkOver);
I realize you just said you did that -- and I believe you --
but since
your earlier code samples don't show as much, I wanted to
cover all the
bases. I'm also noticing that the hit area of these buttons
seems to extend
past the edge of the button artwork itself (just for the
OK/Cancel). That
might be another mouse child culprit.
The overall framerate of your movie may be an issue here,
too.
Since these buttons don't seem to tween, by not bypass movie
clips for
the time being and use button symbols? That may rescue you a
few headaches
for the moment and buy you time to experiment with movie clip
event handlers
later.
Your code looks fine, so I'm interested to know if the same
code
succeeds for you in cases where the artwork is flat-out dull.
Start a new
FLA and whip up a quick movie clip-based button whose artwork
is simply
comprised of identical squares (graphics or simply shapes).
Use the
MOUSE_OVER event. Should work as expected. Now introduce text
(dynamic and
static) to see how the event handling changes unless you
specify
mouseChildren = false (use trace() to test). If mouseChildren
is true
(default), you'll see your trace() get triggered every time
you mouse away
from the dynamic text "back on" to the simple square
background. This isn't
the case for ROLL_OVER, regardless of the mouseChildren
setting.
So you can see that granularity and subtlety have increased,
at least in
this scenario. Conceptually, event handling is still the
same, but some of
the finer details have changed a bit.
Chin up! :)

Hi,
There are plenty of reviews around on MSI's mobo as well as the too few others that are out there at the moment.
This issue is pretty well common to all the mobo manufacturers for the time being as it is a Serial ATA issue, not a mobo issue. Have a look at Tom's Hardware Guide or amdmb.com, interesting reading.
Cheers,
Dimal.
