Those chat images only work with iOS based devices.  If they're being sent to someone without an iOS device, it will go through as an ASCII character.

  • Why does the hard drive keep crashing on 2009 MacBook Pro?

    We are now on the third hard drive, the second in 5 months.  The problem started after I dropped book on it, but no repairmen have suggested that has anything to do with it.

    drop your books on it and you can crash your armature heads in the HD, ....HD are fragile.
    I assume the first one died of age.....second from the book drop.......and the third?

    Hard drives don't fail often, but they do occasionally
    They fail, and often, and new ones fail a LOT more than older ones (sounds silly, but logical)
    Hard Drive Warning (all makes and models)
    Ironically but logical, new hard drives are far more fragile than one that has been working for several months or a couple years. So beware in your thinking that a new hard drive translates into “extremely reliable”!
    Hard drives suffer from high rates of what has been termed "infant mortality". Essentially this means new drives are highly prone to failing in the first few months of usage. This is because of very minor manufacturing defects or HD platter balancing, or head and armature geometry being less than perfect; and this is not immediately obvious and can quickly manifest itself once the drive is put to work.
    Hard drives that survive the first few months of use without failing are likely to remain healthy for a number of years.
    Generally HD are highly prone to death or corruption for a few months, then work fine for a few years, then spike in mortality starting at 3-4 years and certainly should be considered end-of-life at 5-7+ years.
    The implication of this is that you should not trust a new hard drive completely (really never completely!) until it has been working perfectly for several months.
    Given the second law of thermodynamics, any and all current mfg. HD will, under perfect storage conditions tend themselves to depolarization and a point will be reached, even if the HD mechanism is perfect, that the ferromagnetic read/write surface of the platter inside the HD will entropy to the point of no return for data extraction. HD life varies, but barring mechanical failure, 3-8 years typically.

  • Why does the keyboard randomly stop working on my macbook pro in Firefox?

    It just happens randomly and only in Firefox. If I close out and reopen Firefox it works again. (On the beta update channel version 37)

    it will happen cause it is the beta version so it will happen until it is fixed''dmetre [[#question-1051346|said]]''

    Why is the autofill no longer working on my macbook?

    Have you tried connecting to your computer and sync using iTunes? If it will sync that way, the means the problem is the wireless sync. One step in the troubleshooting process. You also might want to consider posting here.

  • Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro?

    Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro?  I've updated everything, and there are no other issues.  It is OS X and Audition CS6.  When I'm mixing a track, it will just shut down with a crash notice.  Very frustrating.

    Hi,
    What is the crash notice you receive?  OS X is very good about keeping extensive, detailed crash logs.  If you launch Applications > Utilities > Console.app  and open the "User Diagnostic Reports" group on the left, can you drag the most recent Audition crash report into an e-mail to [email protected] ?  The contents of that file should make it more clear to us why Audiiton or the OS thinks a crash is happening and will help focus troubleshooting.

  • Does anyone know how to set up a macbook pro so that other computers can join me and use my internet connection?

    Does anyone know how to set up a macbook pro so that other computers can join me and use my internet connection?

    Have you set up any security on the Mac Connection Sharing?
    Sorry but I don't use that so I'm not familiar with the settings.
    But if you haven't setup and security the iPhone might not mind but I know most Windows computers do not like to connect to Open WiFi. and make sure it is WPA or WPA2.
    Then again it may be a setting in the connection sharing like some type of MAC filtering or it may simply be that Mac OS X connection sharing only allows one connection at a time. Try disconnecting your phone and then connect the PC.
    As to Linc's response about Windows.
    Windows basically does care about connecting to open, unsecured, WiFi. But it will normally pop up a windows asking "Are myou sure you want to connect to this open network". And a simple click on yes will get you connected and an IP address.
    So this is clearly a Mac OS X problem.

  • My MacBook Pro was stolen last night. I need the serial number. It is not showing up on my devices list. My iPads and iPhones are. I have used it to to sync my phones and pads as well having it registered with apple. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Click here: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
    Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
    Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
    Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.

  • I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro. I installed iOS5 on my iPad and iPhone4S. I have activated iCloud on all three devices. The Calendar changes are moving between the iPad and iPhone4S but NOT showing up in iCal on the MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

    Help. I have double checked everything I and my husband can think of. I need to be able to print out my daily agenda and I can only do that from the MacBook Pro. And of course it is the devise that is not getting the updated iCal data. Any suggestions?

    Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix....  :(

  • Why does safari not update to 5.1 on macbook pro when running lion 10.7.1

    my macmini is running lion server and safari 5.1.  my iMac is running lion and safari 5.1.  my macbook pro is running lion and safari 4.0.4 and update is stating that there are no updates available.
    how does one force an update to safari 5.1 for lion in this situation?

    my macbook pro is running lion and safari 4.0.4 and update is stating that there are no updates available.
    Did you move or copy the Safari application? It should be in the Applications folder at the top level of your startup volume.
    There is no downloadable installer for the Lion version of Safari.

  • Why does iPhoto 9.43 update crash on my MacBook Pro

    I recently updated iPhoto to 9.43 on my MacBook Pro.  When I open iPhoto it tells me that it needs to upgrade the iPhoto library to work with this upgrade - when I click on Upgrade - it goes for a split second and crashes.  I have un-intalled iPhoto and re-installed another copy - same problem. Any help is appreciated.

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • I just received a Macbook Pro. My music is on my iPad and I would like to move it and the playlists to the Macbook Pro.

    How can I move my iTunes library, all songs and playlists, from my iPad to my new Macbook Pro?

    You might want to try this solution, though it is not a free solution and performance can lag depending on your network and connection:
    There is an app called Air Display.  It allows your macbook laptop (or iPad) to connect to your iMac for use of the display.  The Air Display software can be used via a wireless connection, but this setup is slower than the option of connecting both computers via ethernet wired connection for better performance. I believe there are other apps that may do the same thing.
    Things to watch out for:
    Make sure you read the reviews and contact the developer with any questions to avoid confusion.
    Make sure the app allows the laptop screen to be viewed on the iMac. Ask the developer or google for an answer. 
    Disclosure: I do not work for the company or benefit in any financial way from this suggestion.  I have never used the app, but from what I have read on the web, via ethernet, performance is acceptable...within limitations.
    Good luck.
