When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level. I do not have this problem when listening to TV or watching movies streamed from DishNetwork. I contacted Netflix and they had me install a newer version of their software Silverlight... this did nothing to resolve the issue. They were not familiar with the issue.

Well if your on 10.6.2, you need to software update to 10.6.8
Perhaps you need to adjust the Silverlight (Microsoft DRM video plug-in) sound level itself too
Run a check here to see if your current on your Silverlight (works for all browsers)

Use another browser like Firefox and see if it continues.
Try another video file. They all have their own sound levels too.

I recorded 1 hour and 6 minutes of footage on my Kodak Zi8 Camera in WVGA mode. When I connect it to my Macbook Pro, the .MOV file that it creates is only 59 mintues. I can still view the full footage on the camera itself. I just can't export it. HELP!!!!

So it is cutting off the end at 59 minutes? How large is the file that is being exported? You may be running up against a file size limitation.

HT3986 when i use windows 7 with macbook pro ,the fan work hardly,how do i fix it?

Use InputRemapper
This is one or only utility I know, there are I am sure one or two others.
And the weakest link in running Windows on Mac: lack of thermal/SMC fan control to manage air flow and heat!

Please confirm what version of OS X you are running - I doubt it is the ancient OS 10.1 !

When I play Minecraft on my Macbook Pro the whole computer freezes

After a bit of Minecraft on my Macbook Pro (the amount of time before the freeze is always different. I can go hours without it freezing up but sometimes it freezes after ten minutes), the screen will get distorted and my computer becomes completely unresponsive. The only thing I can o is force it to shut off and turn it back on.
This happened before, and then my hard drive was found to be bad, so I got a new one... now it is happening again, and I would love it if I didn't have to replace the hard drive again...
One of my Engineering friends thinks it might be my graphics card or the computer itself, another said he'd never, ever seen something like the problem I am having. I'd like to know if there's something I can do to fix this problem.
My computer has a 2.8GHz Intel i7 duo-core processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB graphics card, if that is of any use to anyone who can help me.
On a side, slightly less annoying note, when I plug in my headphones, the volume stays constant no matter how many times I adjust the volume using the buttons on the keyboard or the icon on the top of the screen. I have to go into the system preferences to change the volume. Sometimes, when I unplug the headphones, the problem persists with the computer speakers. Any ideas why this is happening or what I can do to fix it?

No one has any helpful tips?

When i unplug my headphones from Macbook pro, the laptop goes to sleep

When i unplug my headphones from Macbook pro, SOMETIMES the laptop goes to sleep and the sleep indicator light is solid instead of plusing, but it pluses when i close the screen, or click the sleep from apple icon. Can someone help me? Thank you for your valuable time.

Open System Preferences > Energy Saver
Click: Restore Defaults
Restart your Mac. Try unplugging your headphones ..

My Office for Mac 2008 disk has a scratch in the paper on the top. When I load it in my MacBook Pro the drive makes a low pitched beep? Can I repair the surface ( the bottom is fine and it is not cracked). Are there any other options.

I have a 2009 MacBook Pro which has been working fine. Had to reformat HD and reload software. Am using Mountain Lion which MS said supports Office Mac 2008. When loading it the drive ran then began making a low frequency beep, then ejected the disk. Upon inspection I see a scratch in the paper on the top of the disk, but there is no crack and the bottom surface is clean without scratches.
I assume this problem is from this damage. If so what can I do to repair it so it will work in the drive.
If not what else would cause this problem. Thanks for you help. Emom6

DVD drives read the bottom of the disk, not the top. Smooth out the paper & try again.

Does anybody have problems with the Macbook Pro Retina 15' fans being really loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris?

Hey guys,
So after a few months of using the MBP 15' Retina, I've discovered that the fans are incredibly loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris.. are any of you guys having the same problem? Like all of a sudden from be quiet to unbelievably loud just as the games load. So yeah, hopefully someone has the same problem as I am having.
What I was thinking was that the MBP Retina 15' is such a beefed up laptop, it shouldn't require that much CPU to run flash games that are not even THAT graphically intensive to which making the fans that loud..
Thanks!

Believe it or not, Flash REALLY isn't the issue.
It's hardware makers making devices with less processor performance and requiring software makers to fit into a certain requirements of such. Namely iPhone, iPods and iPads.
Flash is designed to give a lot of features and work across many operating systems, browsers and platforms as a write once solution.
Flash has a certain level of processor performance requirement, which hardware makers like Apple want to build less powerful machines using less expensive processors.
Apple has removed Coverflow 3D effects from iTunes and discontinued the 17" MacBook Pro, leaving only the 15" as having a more powerful 3D capable graphics capability.
So Apple is obviously on a anti-heat/performance quest as they further thin up their hardware, trying to kill Flash by punishing Mac users who want to run it.
Flash runs without a fan sound on my older Mac with dedicated GPU and older OS X verison, no sweat.
Head to your System Preferences > Energy Saver and if you have it, uncheck Automatic Graphics switching, this will use the dedicated GPU and shorted battery life, but if your on power should reduce the heat and fan noise.
Another option is to use SMC fan control and set the fan default speed slightly faster, this will keep the machine slightly cooler and not trigger the higher fan speed as often.
If your running 10.8, you will need to System Preferences > Security > downloads to "Anywhere"
SMC FanControl is over at MacUpdate.com.

I just bought a new external monitor (ASUS), and I have DVI adapter plug. When I connect it with my Macbook pro - the monitor remain black (even tho it is 'on')

I just bought a new external monitor (ASUS), and it have DVI and VGA plugs. I bought the DVI adapter to connect with my macbook pro laptop. But the external monitor remain black… so I turn it off then turn it back on, it said "No VGA signal". Does it means I have to use VGA adapter instead? I am not sure how it work, I am very new to it… I hope you can help me out!
Thanks!

Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.

When I try to start my MacBook Pro, the screen stays blank - I hear the startup "chime" but nothing else happens.

It's actually my teenage daughter's MacBook, and she's driving me crazy wanting me to fix it... any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When I open iTunes, on my Macbook Pro, the application window is either blank, or sometimes reads the number of songs, time, and GB in small print. No columns of music.

I am, however, able to play recent songs, through the Controls menu, but still no data appears on the screen. I am running iTunes 11.0.4.

When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?

When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?
It's very frustrating and I don't understand why it happens. It might happen other times, but I notice it the most when I'm streaming the radio through itunes, though I think it's also happened when I'm streaming music or shows from NPR, so I don't actually know if it's an itunes thing, or an internet thing? Or just my computer being stupid? But how can I fix it?
Thanks!

My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8
It seems clear to me that sometimes, seemingly randomly, software will access the video card (flash player, quicktime, Safari's HTML5 video player, etc) and it will cause a freeze and then log out.
However - it could just be video card + processor under load.
This didnt happen before 10.5.8 and I'm thinking it's not the new 27" display causing the issue.
I'm going to attempt to find time to revert back to 10.5.0 and then combo update back up to 10.5.7 which may be difficult as our IT is remote and we don't have access to Snow Leopard discs.
I may just have to bring my own in.

IPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?

iPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?
When I connected my iPhone to the MB-Pro and imported the photos, all the ones on the phone in "the photo stream" came in fine,
But I have 4 "albums" containing different photos. How do I get those photos into iPhoto ... short of emailing them to myself?

When you connect your iPhone to the computer and import, all photos in the camera roll will be imported, but not the photos in other albums, for example, albums that have been synced to your iPhone. Sp, to import other photos from synced albums, you have to save these photos to the camera roll or use iTunes Photo Sharing.

HT4437 Can't stream from iPad or Macbook Pro to Apple TV

I can't stream video or audio from my Macbook Pro or iPad to Apple TV. It used to work but I haven't used Apple TV with my iPad or Macbook for several months. Software for the Macbook Pro, Apple TV and iPad is current and all 3 devices are logged onto the same WiFi. Home Sharing is enabled. All 3 devices are logged into iTunes with the same Apple ID. Airplay does not appear in Control Center on my iPad and I do not get the Airplay symbol on the computer or iPad when using iTunes or any other app. I tried restarting the Apple TV and even restoring factory defaults. What am I missing?
