likely display inverter board.
did you get your inverter board replaced already?
Did you have a question?
If the diagnostic in shop indicates same, thats 1000X better than anyone can do online in "diagnosis" (not really genuine diagnosis of course)

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

There is probably a red light on inside your headphone port, indicating that the analog/digital switch in there is stuck in the digital position. Insert a headphone plug and wigle it around, especially in the horizontal plane, as you insert and remove it several times. This will usually unstick the switch and restore normal operation. If it doesn't, the machine will need to be repaired.
This has been a fairly common problem, but in most cases it is easily cured as described above.

Which macbook pro should i buy if i use finalcut7?the i5 or i7?

which macbook pro should i buy if i use finalcut7?the i5 or i7?

Either one will do the job. The more powerful the CPU, the faster it will perform. I suggest that if the budget is tight, go for the i5, if not go for what the bank account will allow.
It is nice to have a fast CPU, but they are not essential to the overwhelming applications that most people use, especially in a non-vocational context. On this forum there are the 'speed freaks' who will tout the virtues of faster CPUs, yet most have never compared two MBPs side by side and experienced the differences of real world results.
Ciao.

Why does my MacBook Pro keep shutting off while I'm using it with full battery?

My Battery is 100% full and it keeps shutting off randomly, how can I fix this?

This is something you should log. Whenever your machine shuts off randomly, make a note of the time and what you were doing on your machine at the time. You may find that the shut downs aren't random at all. I had a similar problem with "random" shutdowns, and discovered that there was a power supply issue.
Please post here with your results.

My MacBook Pro screen turns off when I open the lid!

This has been driving me nuts, and also apparently Apple as well.
When my MacBook Pro is connected to a power adapter, if I close the lid it sleeps like a good little Mac. When I open the lid, the display comes on instantly. Then after about a second, it goes black. The LED backlight turns off. I can get it to come on using either of two ways: 1) touch either of the brightness buttons, or 2) remove and replace the power connector.
Now, here is the weird part: it only seems to do it when I am logged in as me. If I login as guest, it doesn't happen. That would seem to imply it is something about my profile that causes it to happen. So I whacked ~/Library/Preferences and it still happened. So where is this particular bit of nastiness hiding?

OK, so I think I solved my issue. It was caused by the system not going to sleep (The screensaver thing was a dead end).
When I ran the console app pmset, I got something like this:
➜ ~ pmset -g assertions

The process that was causing PreventSystemSleep to be 1 was "org.cups.cupsd" which is the print service. So I checked all my printers, one of them was "In Use". When I opened it, there weren't any jobs listed. I went through the options and selected Jobs > Show Everyone's Jobs and sure enough there was a job there. I deleted it and everything seems to work now.
The odd thing is that print job was probably from my other account which didn't seem to have this screen problem. Anyway, I hope this helps anyone out there....

MacBook Pro Screen Turns Off

Hi,
I had this problem since I bought my MacBook Pro 15' (Summer 2009) whenever using the 9600 card. From time to time the monitor simply turns itself off and then comes back on, sometimes after a few seconds, and sometimes after a few minutes. This happens a few times a day, and sometimes it never happens. But usually it happens during sudden temperature increases, like when waking the mac from sleep, or a short while after firing up a game.
Just by sheer chance, I discovered today that if the screen turns itself off, then I can bring the screen back again by pressing slightly on the aluminum body somewhere above the F5 and F6 keys. Doing so while the monitor is on, can also turn it off and then back again.
I am suspecting that there is a bad contact problem between the motherboard and the screen. Any suggestions or courses of actions are appreciated.
Note that this never happens when using the 9400 card.
Thanks in Advance.

Why does my MacBook Pro screen have white marks on it and how do I get rid of it?

My MacBook Pro started having these white marks right in the middle of the screen and I don't know how to get rid of it. I brought this MacBook online so I only have the invoice from seller. Is this sufficient evidence to show apple to replace under warranty?

you will have to bring it to apple so that they can determine that.

Early 2011 Macbook Pro screen turns off/on

I was listening to music and doing some homework when the screen turned off and then turned back on. The computer wasn't hot at all when it happened. The music also stopped when it happened. After a few seconds it turned back on and everything went back to normal, I had sound and everything. I'm not exactly sure what happened, battery was at 87% so I'm sure it wasn't that. This is the first instance of it happening. If anyone has any advice or knows anything I could do to ensure it doesn't continue or get worse it'd be very much appreciated.

I thought it might have been an update that triggered it, but I guess not. It could be your hardware, but I would try to dianose software reasons first.... such as something else you were running that triggered a resolution change. Whats involved in "doing your homework"?

Why does my MacBook Pro make clicking noises when pressure is applied to the unibody?

I purchased a MacBook Pro in late July of this year. Recently, I have noticed that when I begin to type on the keyboard, the unibody will make a faint sound when pressure from my hands is applied to the MacBook. I also notice a faint clicking noise when I pick up the MacBook Pro to move it somewhere. Additionally, the screen hinge makes a faint clicking noise when the screen is opened. Are these sounds normal?

I'm having issues booting up my MacBook Pro. When I turn it on, I get the sound and the apple logo with the spinning wheel, then a loading bar appears, then after about 30 seconds it shuts off. Suggestions?

I believe it's OSX 10.7.5 or .4, can't check now. I'm not able to boot up past the login screen. A bar comes up below the apple logo as if it's installing an apple update, but doesn't make any progress. Eventually, the bar goes away and just the apple logo and spinning wheel are there, then it just shuts off soon after. I've tried holding shift key on power up to enter safe mode, but nothing happens. Any help/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can't backup without booting the computer unless you remove the drive. But it may be you have a more serious hardware problem, so I think you may be better off taking it in for service.
But here's what you might try since you now have an external drive.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your drive's main entry (topmost one) and click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. This will fix the boot block if it's damaged. Next, select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button.
If you have no problems with the above, then quit DU and return to the Main Menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu. See if the computer will boot properly.
If you get this far you should backup the drive ASAP. You will need to prepare your external drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

Why does my Macbook Pro get extremely hot doing simple things like surfing the web?

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro. 4GB of ram 500GB HD. The last few months my mac has been getting extremely hot when I do simple things like listening to music or going on facebook etc. I have used accessories to cool it down, but it doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Might be that the vents are clogged and need a clean up. Depends on the environment it was used in (dust, smoke, etc).
Might also be that some piece of software is the culprit and not iTunes or Safari/Chrome/Firefox.
Run Activity Monitor and see which application(s) use abnormally high amount of processing power.
