Why the mac book pro bip even without alimentation?

Hi,
I have a macbook pro 2,4 GHz Intel core 2 duo with 4 Go 1067 MHz DDR3 running with Mac OS X LION 10.7.4.
I have a recurent Beep every 40 seconde (approxymately) and this even if there is nothing as power source. I took off the battery and the mac is no connected to a power source.
Please help me.
thanks

I made a mistake... I took Ontario, California as Ontario Canada....
As per the reply from lllaass That may indeed be the case. My recently purchased, refurbished Mac followed a similar shipping route. And, I have found Apple shipping times quite accurate.

Most users buy iDVD (part of iLife 11 ON DISK).
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Since the price for mac book pro is much expensive than others for the same configuration, give me some reasons that why choose mac book pro?

I like Apple for both iPhone and iPad and I consider to buy a Mac book Pro recently. However, I haven't used mac book before. I have a alienware which is pretty good and I am much comfortable with it. I compared 2 laptops and I found for the same price, the configuration of alienware is much better than Mac book Pro.So why I need to buy the Mac book pro for a higher price? Don't tell me because it is Apple, tell me some details! For those of you who are familiar with mac book pro and loved apple deeply, please convince me!

I guess that really depends on what you would use it for, and how you use a computer. Alienware is geared for gaming and intense graphics displays, but a MBP is designed for general to hardcore users, and in my opinion, for multimedia purposes. One positive thing about Apple is that it works well with Apple hardware and software, and that it is user-friendly. Sony is like this too, that it works well with with Sony products, but my experience with Sony is not as user-friendly.
For me, if I were into Windows based gaming I would go with Alienware. If I wanted and used Windows based software and wanted a quality and long-lasting laptop, I would get a Sony. (There was a study on laptops in 2010, founded that Sony laptops outlasted the other brands (HP and Acer were at the bottom).)
Apple is more well-rounded and functions smoother compare to PCs. So, no pun intended, it's all apples and oranges.
If you are deciding which OS, you should based your decision on your needs, wants and functionality, and maybe long-term budget.
So for example, I'm not a computer gaming (that's what console gaming is for me). I like to compose music with my guitar and keyboard, like editing home videos, I'm an newsletter editor for my non-profit and HOA, I do statistics, I surf the web and stream media, and I do photography as a hobby. So for initial cost, ease of operations, quality, longevity, and total long-term cost, the MBP was my choice. I had considered Dell, Sony and Alienware. To me, Sony and Alienware was like buying a Cadillac, and Dell like a Buick. So I decided on a Lincoln. Apple best fit my lifestyle and long-term budgeting for computers.
FYI...Why I suggest long-term budgeting? Is because over the last decade, I've been through three desktops and four laptops. The Sony laptop outlasted them all with seven years, with only one hardware problem (two if you count the end). The worst ones are tied between HP and Compaq. Over the years my friends with Macs averaged seven to eight years of usage, so I estimated, I could have spent about the same or less by about $2,000 by buying two Macs: depending on configuration and models.
So there's my personal experience and opinion, of course. I currently have a Linux (for testing), Windows (wife uses it for gaming), and MBP at home.

Can you operate the mac book pro 15 inch with out the battery? I read somewhere in a post that it lowers the power to about 1 gig. I asked apple and they said it is not true because you can use it with or without both together without affecting op pw

can you operate the mac book pro 15 inch with out the battery? I read somewhere in a post that it lowers the power to about 1 gig with out the battery. I asked apple and they said it is not true because you can use the comp with the power adapter and battery together or either by itself and it will not effect the 2.16 gig. Thank you.

If you remove the battery the CPU power will be cut by 50% (whatever they told you) so that there's no lack of power or overheating issues. It's best to always keep the battery in.

Hi, I'm considering gettting a mac book pro. I've been a pc user. I want to know anyone's opinion on the mac book pro compared to a pc.

I'm considering buying a mac book pro. I want a few opinions about the mac book pro compared to a pc. I've been a pc user. How do you rate the mac compared to a pc?

With Mac's, there are less software and hardware choices, Apple almost demands you upgrade the operating system (paid) annually now, then inflicts all sorts of unexpected UI changes etc., and breaks your third party software/hardware.
With Windows you might have malware, but on Mac's the pain comes with constant OS X upgrades and bricking of third party software, it's like Apple has no stability.
DRM is becoming standard issue, you can't install OS X on your own via the disks, it has to be downloaded from Apple now.
OS X is turning into iOS that's all controlling, all Apps are copy protected, open source software is not allowed.
Hardware quality is mixed now, 13" and below have cheap low res glossy screens like any other $400 Walmart PC, the 15" and up high res anti-glare are very nice models.
OS X is just a paint job on hardware with Apple "oh a new OS!", it's not a stable long term operating system in the sense that Windows versions are which you can set it up, make a backup and go on nearly forever.
At least with Windows one can reinstall the OS and get updates for 10+ years, all one has to do is buy quality long lasting hardware from a huge choice of vendors.
So value wise, hardware and software choice, 3D gaming, business world, standardization etc., Windows 7 is pretty sweet now. Vista and XP of course were terrible.
Apple's OS X Lion is terrible, it's the beginning of the end, a transition to locked down iOS X on Mac's and Apple's exit from the "computing" market into something only for consumers only really based on the closed iOS concept. They are really going overboard on this, pushing the App Store in your face when you do searches and everything.
The "candy like" OS X interface gets kind of tiring, it used to be we could avoid a lot of it, but now Apple is pressing it more into one's faces. So forget having a professional or mature look about OS X anymore.
The App Store is like something made and to appeal to children and Toy Story cartoon watchers, not appealing to mature serious people.
OS X is pretty and all, the high quality screens of Mac's make OS X look nice and attractive, but I also run Windows 7 on my Mac and it looks just as great, Windows also has a more mature looking UI.
All in all there is really no advantage to getting a Mac over a PC anymore, since with Win 7 Microsoft provides the free Security Essentials and System Restore to make disks and images to restore one's own machine themselves easy as pie.
I'm a long time Mac user, from day one, because Mac's were innovative and more secure than Windows, however Apple has tarnished that image when I found out they were not issuing security updates for older OS X versions and not fast enough for Java, (they control) which resulted in a 600,000 botnet of Mac's called Flashflake.
Sure finally Apple issued a security update for 10.5 users, but on Intel processors only, not the zillions still on PowerPC processor Mac's.
Apple is so much about change to sell hardware that they burn bridges behind them, hopefully that will change now under Tim Cook's rule, (Steve Jobs died) I suspect it will.
Apple's OS X market share has been decreasing, not because Apple isn't selling things, but rather a larger portion of it's users are now using iOS devices instead of Mac's.
Before iOS arrived, it was 10% of users on OS X/Macs, now it's 4% iOS and 6% on OS X/Macs as recorded outside of China's Great Firewall.
I guess the positive thing is, I've only got one piece of malware on my Mac's in 24 years, however I've spent about 10x more for my computers over the years than my PC using friends have because of all the Apple hardware and OS X changes draining my wallet.
For instance they changed video out from DVI to Dual DVI, to Displayport to something else and now Thunderbolt, it's just insane you can't go back into a Apple store and pickup a piece of hardware anymore or older OS X, they start pumping you to change this or that and don't tell you what's it's really going to cost in the end to upgrade everything.
I swear they want us to turn over our machines every two years now like a iPhone or something.
If your a smart PC user, you know then what hardware to buy and how to reinstall Windows yourself, I don't see why you would give up so much hardware and software choice to use a locked down, DRMed Mac that's designed for newbies and children mostly and exiting the "pro" type market more and more every year.
If you think my compaints about Apple above pale in comparison to your experience with Windows 7, then by all means get a Mac, bring a fat wallet and they will be all over you like any high end fashion or Gucci store would.

Do you recommend the Mac Book Pro?

I am looking to purchase a laptop for my own use (work and personal). I will be editing video, doing photography, and also use it for word processing. Do you recommend the Mac Book Pro 2.4 Ghz? Would there be any compelling reason to invest in the 2.5 Ghz instead? and why?

I assume you intend to get the 15" model?
I can only see 3 advantages of the 2.5 GHz version.
1. Faster processor, but is anyone going to notice that tiny increase ...... it's laughable.
2. Twice as much VRAM but the base model has enough for all the apps in Final Cut Studio 2, so why would you need more unless you are an extremely busy pro .......... but if that were the case you would not be using a laptop. (Cue indignant protests!)
3. 50GB more HD which again is a minute increase. If you are doing video you should ideally keep all your big media files on an external FireWire HD.

Trivia question: internal production name for the Mac Book Pro

Hi,
I know Apple has internal production names for their products. So the Mac Book Pro has an internal name other than the Mac Book Pro.
i was curious, for trivial purposes, what is Apple's internal production name they use for the MacBook Pro?

Yes, the few people who worked on the project are just dying to post it here so that they can lose their jobs. I can't believe no one has replied yet!
Seriously, no one knew they were ven announcing a new name for the PowerBook outside of the Apple Campus until Steve announced it. Why would anyone know the unannounced codename?

Anyone have an issue with spilling liquid on the Mac Book Pro and it won't turn on now?

A liquid was accidentally spilled on the Mac Book Pro and although it didn't appear that much liquid spilled on the computer, it will not start up now. Anyone have an issue like this? Also, the charger will not light up.

Liquids have no place on a MacBook Pro. Even a little bit is going to damage it. Depending on the type of liquid (pure 100% alcohol the best, since it's volatile and non oxidative), the damage is probably permanent. If it's just water, let it dry, and see what happens. If it's something with sugar or salts in it, then you're probably in trouble, because even if they do dry out, the moisture in the air of place like South Florida will hydrate the dried up salts, creating conductive pathways shorting out your computer over and over again.
You can take it to an authorize Apple dealer or Apple itself for repair. There is no warranty coverage. And the cost will probably exceed that of a new MacBook Pro, depending on the age of yours.

I am writting a document in Spanish and the Mac Book Pro changes the words to English how do I stop this since I want to write in Spanish

I guess you are talking about the spellchecker.
Select the text you want to be Spanish:
Inspector > Text > Text > Language > Español
Why not set your Mac to be in Spanish?
Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Language & Text > Language > drag Español to the top of the list

Can I use my mac book pro in Ireland without a converter?

can I use my mac book pro in ireland without a converter? meaning just use my USA plug with an adapter (not voltage converter) in the socket?

Or go whole hog and splurge on the Apple Travel Kit, that contains enough adapters & such to purportedly enable you to power your Mac, iPod, iPad or iPhone anywhere in the world. Available at the Store.

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos, documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want to move those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again to another external hard drive 1T. My question is:

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos,documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want tomove those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again toanother external hard drive 1T. My question is: Is it possible? Doing this willnot affect the files that I had in windows? No information is lost? or how cani do it?

Connect the external drive to your Mac and drag the files from it to your Mac's internal drive. Then dismount and disconnect the external drive, connect the 1TB external drive, and drag the files from the internal drive onto the external. Nothing will have been deleted from any of the drives up to this point; the files will only have been copied. Verify that the files are readable. There's no reason they shouldn't be; this is just a precaution.
Now if you wish to delete the files from any of the drives, drag them to the Trash, and Empty the Trash while the drive from which they came is still connected. If you disconnect the drive before emptying the Trash, the files you were trying to remove from it won't be deleted. They'll remain in the Trash and continue to take up space on the drive.
Note that if your external drives are in NTFS format, you won't be able to write anything to them or delete anything from them, though you will be able to read and copy the files they contain. The NTFS disk format is read-only to the Mac OS, unless you have a third-party NTFS driver installed. To make your drives cross-platform readable and writable, you must reformat them in the FAT32 or ExFAT format.

What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?

What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?
I was looking at WD MY PASSPORT FOR MAC and Toshiba. I want something that will work best with time capsule! Suggestions on the best external hard drive would be greatly appreciated!!!

A Time Machine backup drive should be substantially larger than the system drive. If you have a 128 or 256 GB SSD then a 1 TB drive will suffice. If you have a 512 GB SSD then a 2 TB drive will suffice. As leroydouglas indicated any brand other than WD will do.
For 1 TB drives PlotinusVeritas gives some great suggestions here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5602141?tstart=0
A 2 TB drive sold by Apple:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9378ZM/A/lacie-2tb-usb-30-porsche-design-p923 3-desktop-hard-drive
$130
A 2 TB drive just as good for only $92.
