When are the faster i7 quad core (2.7ghz) chips going to ship in the MacBook Pros, Intel announced them over a month ago. Trying to make a buying decision.

We can't speculate, when it appears it will appear.
Are these mobile processors? Because that will answer your question right there.

My very expensive 2010 MacBook Pro hard drive died over a year ago (never bothered to fix it as the dvd drive had also failed so not worth it). Nevertheless, I finally decided to sync my iPhone to the replacement laptop pc and it wiped out all the music

My very expensive 2010 MacBook Pro hard drive died over a year ago. I finally synced my iPhone to the replacement laptop pc and it wiped out all the music on the phone including most of the purchases. Can I get the music back (restore didn't help)?

Okay, I finally got the couple of songs left on the phone to play by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes on the pc and re syncing. The last version I installed (just prior to my original post) failed to start due to some unspecified error?!?. Great!. But I still couldn't sync the itunes purchases from the PC to the iPhone. Then, after about an hour of googling and reading assorted posts mostly about using google to resolve the issue, I finally figured out that I have to actually download ALL the purchased albums from iCloud back onto the iPhone! There are hundreds of them, and some are not even available anymore.
Why do I have to do that when I originally purchased and downloaded all the music to the phone? Why are they all on the PC to begin with and why won't they go to the phone via the USB cable? Why didn't all the music get wiped out on the phone when I synced with the dodgy itunes I had to uninstall. never mind.
I accept that all my original music from cds and shared collections is gone on the failed mbp hard drive, but how come this once okay experience has become a trauma? Hundreds of songs to download all over again, sheesh, this has not exactlybeen a "That Was Easy" experience guys.

When will the MacBook Pro be updated (Quad core coming soon?)

Hey! Just a quick question. I've been hearing rumours everywhere that a quad core MacBook Pro is on the way. Apparently Apple Genius' are now being trained on new MacBook Pros and there's been other rumours floating around.
Just wanted to know if anyone had any extra information as I think the MacBook Pro's are so sexy and I really want one, but should I wait? Quad Core sounds good!

Sorry, but no one outside of Apple knows anything reliable about future product releases. Anything anyone here would post would be pure speculation which isn't allowed here (the Discussions are for technical support on existing products). Whether any rumors the various sites report have any validity, your guess will be as good as ours.
And just for future use, questions about the MacBook Pro will best be posted in the forum for that model rather than here in the iMac area.
Regards.

When will the macbook pro be in canadian stores

I am looking to get the Macbook Pro, but I really want to know if anyone has a specific date when it will be available to buy in Canadian stores.

No one here would know - we're users just like you. We'll know when new MacBook Pros are coming out when Apple announces them and we'll know when Mavericks is coming out when Apple announces its availability.
That's all anyone can say at this point.

When starting the macbook pro, the screen was flashing black and white, then to color to color, any suggestion to fixing this problem?

When i am starting the macbook pro, the screen was flashing black and white, and then to color to color, and the whole process repeat all over again, is there any suggestion in solving this, or is there no way to solve this and i need to bring it to the apple support?
My computer Spec:
Macbook pro Version 2011

Sounds as if you're having a problem with your GPU (graphics card). Only Apple can diagnose and fix this, so the best thing would be to take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP.

I have an outstanding event notification that will not allow me to accept, decline or maybe. Neither can I delete the event, despite it taking place over 6 months ago. Sent numerous reports to Apple. How can I get rid of this?

I have an outstanding notification on my calendar on iCloud. Despite the event taking place over six months ago, it is still showing as an outstanding event. I have tried to 'decline, maybe or accept' the event invitation and each time it tells me the calendar is not repsponding and send to Apple, which I do and yet I still cannot get rid of it. Any other event invitations that I accept etc will disappear, except this one. Help!

Does this apply?

Does the MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 duo (2,4ghz - 4gb RAM) match with an audio dj mixer Pioneer DDJ SR

I bought a Audi DJ mixer Pioneer DDJ SR and i want to know if it matches with a Macbook pro core 2 Duo, 2,4 GHZ, 4gb RAM, 250gb DDR?
If not, then can i make it match by adding 4gb RAM or changind DDR to SSD, or others?
Thanks for your help.
(I am french and my English is not so good, so please let me know if my question is not clear)

Hi Rick,
Given that the MBP has a 4200RPM HD in it now, any 5400 or 7200 is likely to yield a significant speed increase during operations requiring HD access.
If it is a 15" MBP, make sure you get a 9.5mm high, 2.5 inch SATA HD. If it's a 17", a 12.5mm high HD will fit.
I don't believe any brand of current HDs is significantly better/worse than the others. That said, I think Seagate is at a low ebb of quality right now. I think Hitachi is at the top. WD blacks seem to be consistently reliable. Without question, others will have different opinions (it's like asking if a Toyota or Ford or Honda, etc. is best). I really like the idea of Seagate's hybrid drive, but there is a real mixed bag of reviews on it. It's first gen, and there are issues to be worked out/improved upon. Check out newegg for 200+ user reviews.
AFA 5400 vs 7200, all other things being equal (rarely the case) the faster drive is likely to give better response, but don't expect night and day difference. All other things being equal, it's also likely to run hotter, reduce run time on battery, and increase vibration. There's also a bit of a cost premium.
Whichever you end up with, remember to backup, backup, and backup (I highly recommend a clone and Time Machine).
The odds are you/she will be happier with any of the 5400s or 7200s over the current 4200, and a new drive should easily help you/her get another year or more out of the MBP. Good luck with the decision.

HT204032 When is the MacBook Pro Retina update supposed to be released this is crazy!

Is there any ETA for the SMC Update for MacBook Pro Retina notebooks?

Hi Jose. The issue you're having with your battery depends on how much you've used it in one week as well. Here are some suggestions on what to do. First, update your Macbook Pro. You should have the latest firmware for your battery. Second, you can try resetting the SMC. Calibrating the battery would also be a good idea. If all fails, since its a fairly new MBP, try asking for a battery replacement. Go to the store where you bought the machine and have it checked or replaced. Here are the links on how to reset SMC and Battery Calibration. Good luck.

Are the Macbook Pro Screens High Definition.

I am curious are the MBP screens high definition. I have noticed that most high end computers like HP and stuff have 1080p Screen on the higher models. It doesnt say anything so i was curious are the MBP screens High definition. If so are they 720p or 1080p

The native screen resolution of the new MacBook Pros is 1440 by 900 so it can display HD video encoded at 720p in its native resolution (since 720p has 720 vertical lines and the MBP has 900 vertical lines on its screen). It cannot display 1080p HD native video though (1080>900). That being said, if you have an HD monitor or TV, the video card has the ability to support up 2560 by 1600 using its DVI-out (you'll want to pick up a dongle for the appropriate input if you don't have a DVI-in on your external screen/TV).

How good is macbook pro compared to 13" macbook pro retina and is the macbook pro has haswell processor and will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina

will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina
I do not know what you mean by that. Any currently produced Mac is likely to be supported for as long as every other Apple product that has ever been produced. Most Apple products are relegated to "vintage" status approximately six years after which they are discontinued by Apple, meaning that the non-Retina MBP is likely to be supported through 2020.

Can the silver coating of the MacBook Pro disintegrate?

I regularly clean my MacBook Pro with a little water or sometimes wet wipes - can the silver coating of the MacBook Pro disintegrate? If so, how regular cleaning it will make it come off? I'm trying to limit myself.
Thanks in advance!

aluminum with a powder coating. You would have to be fairly agressive, but yes the coating is not all that thick.

What is the best I7 Intel processor to get on the Macbook Pro 15"? Are these processors 2nd generation processors? Does it matter? Should I wait until - when? - for 2nd generation processors to be used? Does the 2.5 Mh processor make a difference?

I'm about to order a MacBook Pro 15". I wonder if the I7 processors are 2nd generation or if it matters. Also, is there significant benefit to getting the 2.4 or 2.5 Ghz processor over the 2.2? I'm not a gamer or graphics manipulator, but I do look at (not edit) a lot of video for my work, and I typically multi-task, having many applications and internet windows open at once. Also, I will be running Windows for work access and applications. Of course, I have little idea what makes a difference in my use experience, except I plan to get max RAM and probably the fastest hard drive. Any advice welcome.

Steve,
I appreciate your focus on assistance, and thank you for your help. Couple of follow up questions: What you said about the new specs suggests that the MacBook Pro line has recently been upgraded with, what, the 2nd gen Intel chips, some other incremental improvements? So maybe it has paid off to crawl along with my old mac to get the latest tech. For these kinds of upgrades, I guess Apple doesn't advertise that they have the latest chips (I've seen PC ads touting the 2nd gen chips, and checked out the Intel site, so that's how I became aware) and all?
I'm planning to enjoy this computer for quite some years. Of course I will get the 3 yr extended warranty. And I was planning to get the hi res antiglare screen: that seems to be the best of the options. It looks like one can now get a faster 750 Gb fast drive, instead of having to settle for 500 in the faster version. The cost does add up, but my feeling was to go for broke and get the best machine I can. So does getting the faster cpu and hd and max ram (perhaps buying third party) and all make sense, assuming I can afford it when I add everything up, or is it like a moderately good guitar player getting a top of the line guitar he can't really play well enough to warrant it? (I remember a story about a student under Segovia arriving with a very very expensive guitar when he was still early in the learning process; it may be apocryphal, but story goes that Segovia took the guitar from the student and smashed it to smithereens. I assume that was not just because the student mistook the instrument for skill in playing it, but perhaps also because he would be too careful with such an expensive instrument, and fail to master it. Maybe not a perfect analogy, but I could be mislead by seeking the "best barn burner on the block" when what I need is what will work fine for my purposes.) So I think your original response was probably right on in terms of what will actually be of use to me.
Thanks again,
David

Time machine only copies User Info and Users (Applications, Library, and System are missing) from my quad core Mac Pro. 45 Gb of 162 Gb are missing. Any one having success with time machine copying all folders using Mavericks?
What do I need to do differently?

The late, great Pondini was investigating that issue before he passed away.
See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5125969
I think there might be information there on how to reset Time Machine to do a full backup. I think you basically have to reset it and start over.

I took my iMac to be fixed and when I got it back, mail was not set, so I called Apple and they helped me set up mail. Now the new mail goes to trash and there is no number by the 'inbox' to tell me how many new messages I have. I cannot save a draft to 'drafts.' There is a large number by 'trash' (I think all mail went to trash - including drafts). When I send myself an emai, it goes to trash also. This is on both my iMac (the one taken in) and my MacBook Pro (same emails) which was not taken in.
I went to 'rules' but have no idea what to do there. There are no rules in the rule box. When I click 'add rule' it puts 'rule 1' in the rule box, but since that was not there when I took it in, I delete it to have an empty rule box.
Can someone pleasehelp me. I am completely stupid with all this. Do not under stand what is suppose to be set up in 'rules.'
Thank you so much,
Arudi

Now new mail is coming to both computer's inboxes but there is no number on the stamp icon on dock to show number of emails on the iMac. Nor is there a number by either email address under MAILBOXES/inbox (sidebar) on the iMac. This number is showing on MacBook Pro.
I also can save drafts now on both computers.
Seems the Pro is fixed and the iMac is only missing the numbers on dock icon and by addresses in inbox.
Now that the problem is less, I feel i am wasting your time but will continue so maybe I can get those numbers back.
Two emails > AT&T email and gmail.
Apple's Mail program for email - yes, and gmail.
IMAP for both accounts.
Did not change mail configuration on MacBook.
The iMac and MacBook Pro have the same mail configuration except in Accounts/mailbox behaviours/store draft messages on the server was not marked on MacBook > it is now.
'Store junk messages on the server' was marked on one computer for gmail, but is unmarked on both now.
On the iMac, Accounts/Accounts info/Outgoing mail for gmail is smtpgmail.
On the MacBook Pro for gmail it is smpt.gmail.com (plus) my email address.
Rules/Add rule window, on the MacBook third line is 'Any Recipient', on the iMac third line is 'From."
The last box on that line has my email address on the MacBook.
The last box on that line has the last address I sent an emil to (last night), on the iMac.
On the last line on iMac, no box was selicted for 'to mailbox' > I choose 'inbox' because it is on the MacBook Pro.
Now I have a Rule #1 and am not sure I should have because there was no rules marked when I took the computer in.
Thank you. I relized I had done the labeling wrong when so much of my question appeared twice and no one else's did. I know how to do it now.
Thank you so much,
Arudi
