Will a MacBook Pro bought in the us work in the uk

Going back to America in June.. If I buy a MacBook Pro will it work ok in the uk.... Anyone help me on this.

Of course. The warranty will still be valid in the United States, and the only thing you might have to buy is a US power adapter in order to be able to charge your computer in the United States

I want to buy an adapter to a laptop MacBook Pro, bought in the U.S.

I want to buy an adapter to a laptop MacBook Pro, bought in the U.S., because the laptop heats up when you put in the plug and use an adapter that is not Apple range.

Will a Macbook pro early 2011 installation disc work on a 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro 15

My collegue's 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro 15 inch keeps getting stuck on the apple load up screen everytime he hits the power button. He doesnt know what version it is and I forgot to write down the model number of it(Ill update May 16 at 10am PST). I tried safe mode, it worked but after the loading bar gets close to 1/2 it freezes up. He can not find his installation disc that came with the computer. I have mine but its for Model # A1278 I think its snow leopard. Will the installation disc and application disc run successfully on my collegue's 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro?
I apologize if there's a similar thread out there, I couldnt find one. -

Will a MacBook Pro Early 2011 installation disc work on a 2007 or 2008 MacBook Pro 15?
No it will not.
Machine specific gray/back disks are for one model of Mac only as they only contain hardware drivers for that model, not previous ones.
The 10.6.3 white Snow Leopard retail disk will work and it's available from Apple online for a small charge.

This is indicative of a problem with the boot drive and the file structure retaining data on the drive.
The progress bar progressing and stopping means the fsck drive repair is failing, likley the drive incurred head shock damage at that point.
The boot drive itself is likely fine and the problem can be resolved but the disks are going to be required if it's running Snow Leopard.
First get the disks, then attempt Disk Utility > Repair Disk and check the SMART status if the drive is still good.
If there is no backup of data, get that off the machine using a external boot drive.
To fix that problem of a bad sectors, unfortutly the entire drive will need to be Zero Erased (security option > zero all data) using Disk Uility while c or option/alt key booted from the 10.6 disks (using a wired or built in keyboard), it's the only way.
This means all programs, files (remaining) and OS X will be removed in the process. You could replace the drive also.

Does a Macbook pro bought in the US works with Australian voltage???

Hi, I just bought a Macbook Pro 13" in the US and I'm moving soon to Australia, wonder if I don't have any problem with the input AC there. The power cord says it works from 100-240V.
Thanks in advanced for any help!!

Yes, it works there. You use the same power brick and charger. All you need is a different plug (they pop off the current charger you have and you replace it with a different one) Apple sells an international travel plug set for about 39.00.

Will a macbook pro bought in china work in the uk?

Hello,
I am thinking about buying a macbook pro 13" in Shanghai. However, I am moving back to Scotland in the summer and have converns that some things will not work. For example, will the DVD player work and also will the socket at the mains be a problem. I'm a bit of a luddite so any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin, if you don't want to splash out on the Universal Adapter kit, you can use a standard figure-of-eight power lead as used for radios, CD Players and a whole lot of other electrical/electronic devices.
Most electrical stores should be able to get a spare, or you can just borrow one from another unit.

Apple will replace MacBook Pro bought less than 14 days ago 4 new C2D free!

I have just got off to the phone to the Apple Store, and the rep I spoke to has said that because I am still within the 14 day return period, they will replace my used MacBook Pro Core duo, for the newly released upgrade free of charge, and will refund the £50 price difference.
It looks like my MacBook Woes will soon be soothed with another new, and 'hopefully' perfect machine!

I know, I know -- they DO have it in writing. In fact, since my MacBook Pro is customized (I added an extra 512mb of RAM), according to the agreement, it should not be returnable at all.
Good news, though! There is some sort of "price protection" thing that Apple has - because the new machines came out so soon after I bought it (10 days after I placed the online order! Agh, I wish I would have waited :P), I was able to get $300 back. I didn't even know such a thing existed, but the rep checked on it and told me I was eligible, so my bank account will be credited in a few days It makes the fact that I missed out on the Core 2s by just a few days easier to deal with, at least.

Will my MacBook Pro '11 support the software needed for my new AirPort Time Capsule?

I've got a MacBook Pro '11, OS X 10.6.8 and am trying to back up my photo library to a new AirPort Time Capsule 2TB.
When trying to set it up in AirPort Utility, I am getting the warning "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this AirPort wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Check www.apple.com/support/airport for the latest version of AirPort Utility."
1. Where do I go to get the latest version of AirPort Utility?
2. Will the latest version work with OS X 10.6.8?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Yes. The latest version will be installed when you upgrade to Yosemite.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

Guys, I'll be receiving a MacBook Pro bought in the US as a gift. I'm from UK, will the voltage difference (110v to 220v) and warranty/insurance coverage be an issue? Any other issues to face?

Thanks guys...

Normally the voltage difference is not a problem because the charger can handle both.
I am not sure about the adapter plug: the wall sockets in UK and USA may be different, use a simple (earthed!) adapter for that if necessary.
The rest should be the same, although two keys on the keyboard might be different (@ is shift-2, try to find the other...).
gratulations with your gift,
Lex

Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005. What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005. What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

Dear all, I have a MacBook Pro bought in April 2011. Last April, it got stuck while the wheel was spinning and I had to force it shut. That cost me my hard drive. Now, it's stuck again. I tried esc, cmd tab, moving the trackpad on the apple, but no. HELP!

Dear John,
thank you for your prompt reply. After I sent the email, I left the wheel spinning to see if it would eventually stop. It didn't, but after a while the screen turned blue, so I decided to switch everything off with a forced shut-down. I could not restart with the OS DVDs because I am currently away from home, but fortunately everything was more or less fine after restarting. It then got stuck again, I forced it shut again, restarted again, and now it seem to work but I won't overdo it and will switch off smoothly after writing this (unless it gets stuck again). Last April I have replaced the HD, so it's now just under 6 months old. And, of course, since the crash occurred when I was abroad and had backed up just before I left, I have lost only a few days' work. Still, and I know this will make me hugely unpopular here, with my 5 previous laptops running on MS Windows I never had a problem. Which does not mean I loved the OS, or I would not have switched to Mac.
Anyway, and this is the main reason for this message, thank you very much again for your speedy intervention.

I started using LT 4 and I have a serial number, also upgraded to LT 5 and have a serial number. Now I just bought a new Macbook Pro and installed the LT 5, but it doesn't accept my serial number. Why?

I started using LT 4 and I have a serial number, also upgraded to LT 5 and have a serial number. Now I just bought a new Macbook Pro and installed the LT 5, but it doesn't accept my serial number. Why?

When you installed the Lightroom 5 on your MacBook, did it ask for both serial numbers. Since you purchased Lightroom 5 as an upgrade, you need both the serial number from your original purchase as well as the new serial number for Lightroom 5. If you have both of those numbers and they are still not being accepted then you will have to contact Adobe customer support for a solution.

While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store

While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store.

The Mountain Lion installer looks at your internal drive to make certain that it's error-free before continuing installation. You should have an application named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder now so you shouldn't have to download it again. Do this...
Boot to your Lion recovery partition by holding down both the Command and the R keys while booting. Open Disk Utility from the Recovery partition and select your hard drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it) and click on Verify Disk. If you come up with any errors, click on Repair Disk. At the end of the cycle you will get a message that the disk was successfully repaired or a message that the hard drive could not be repaired.
If you're able to repair the disk, just reboot as normal and open the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" and the installation will proceed. If Disk Utility was unable to repair the disk, you need to get to your local Apple Store as soon as possible so that they can see if the disk is salvageable or beyond repair.
Good luck,
Clinton

Can I use adapter of the iphone (not the cable), to attach the power cable of a macbook pro bought in Canada? The power adpter for the macbook pro is two pins because it was bought in Canada. Thank you.

Hi! I will get a macbook pro bought in Canada soon. Can I use the adapter plug of my iphone (ireland) not the cable, as the adapter to plug my macbook? The power adpter of the macbook from Canada is a two pin. Thanks for any help.

I wouldn't, the Mac draws significantly more power than the iPhone. Why risk it.

If your computer does not have Thunderbolt you cannot use a Thunderbolt display. There are no adapters that will help.
