Would my Macbook Pro have any problems from this?

I was using my Macbook Pro in bed and accidentally it dropped about 1 foot and 6 inches onto a carpet/wood floor. No real damage on the outside but I am worried there is damage on the inside. Also more worried because I feel like my macbook pro dies really quickly even when I'm letting it sleep. I have had it for about 3 years. Can someone help me with this?

Your welcome! That is odd your battery is draining like that.... I am lucky enough to have never needed to bring my Macbook Pro to Apple, but I have heard it's usually a quick deal, at most I've heard it can take up to a day to get your Macbook Pro back. It really depends on the particular store's workload.... To run tests and open the case up shouldn't take more than an hour, if that, but who am I to say.... The only thing I could say about your battery is, other than it is damaged on a count of the fall, maybe there is an underlying problem? Not sure, but check out activity monitor maybe, and just check the stats for the processor and memory.... I don't know if that would give any answers, but when I may have a problem, I use the tools that are given by Apple.... Why not, it doesn't hurt, right? Probably, though it's a bad battery, or the logic board is giving you trouble, and in turn, it's not actually going to sleep, when it appears to be.... So, if the issue persists, bring to an Apple Store, or someone certified by Apple, although, it would most likely cost you, going to a non-Apple Store. What model/specs is your Macbook Pro? Maybe someone else could chime in, with some input on the battery deal. I'm sure anyone's guess is as good as mine.... Oh yeah, duh on my part, go to your system report and click on power to see what it says about your battery. (If you don't know how to get there, I'm sure you do, but I should give instructions, click on the Apple logo in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About this Mac on the drop down menu. Then when that window opens, click system report, and a new window will open. Tabs are on the left side, look for power, and click on it.) It will give you a run down of it's condition, cycle count, etc... Post the results if you like....

My 15" macbook pro have big problems identifying and connecting to my wireless network

my 15" macbook pro have big problems identifying and connecting to my wireless network. I have no problem connecting to my neighbour´s. Also I have a 13" macbook pro, a 13" macbook, 2 ipads and 3 iphones (3, 4 and 5) and none of these have any problems connecting to my wireless. My 15" is running Mac OS X 10.7.5, has a 2.66 GHz Intel Core I7 proc and 8 GB Ram

HT1296 I'm having difficulty syncing my iCal between my home computer and iPhone. New entries from my home are not syncing with the phone and vice-versa. I didn't have any problems with this before until the latest phone update. Any suggestions?

I'm having difficulty syncing my iCal between my home computer and iPhone. New entries from my home are not syncing with the phone and vice-versa. I didn't have any problems with this before until the latest phone update. Any suggestions?

It could be that the existing wire in your appartment is not clean enough to provision DSL only. When combined with the phone possibly it has a higher line voltage and worked before. Now that the line is to be provisioned without phone service it may be giving them trouble that did not show before they came out and ran the new line test. So a new jack dedecated for your DSL line may require a new wire be run to your appartment. Also the account for internet only used to require direct billing to a credit card or something else. This was a number of years ago. Most accounts are linked to a phone number, and without a voice number it adds to the confusion.
If you are getting the voice and everything turned on as before, then I am at a loss for words.

HT1414 Why do I get 'This message has no content' with some e-mails on my iPad when the same messages can be received on my MacBook Pro without any problem, and how can I fix it?

Why do I get - 'This message has no content' - with some e-mails on my iPad when the same messages can be received on my Mac Book Pro without any problem and how can I fix it?

Is this a POP (POP3) email account? If so, you MacBook Pro may be retrieving the email and deleting it off the server before your phone can. Another possibility is that both your Mac and your phone are trying to retrieving it at the same time, and the POP server, which will only allow a single email client connection at a time, is locking out your phone resulting in the "has not been downloaded from the server" error.

Lion Macbook Pro unbootable - any way past this?

Hi. I have a macbook pro with Lion installed. Yesterday it wouldn't boot up at all. I went to the recovery partition and that appears to be corrupted - it turned into a no-entry sign and then went back to it's non-booting main partition.
I do not have a recovery assistant USB drive nor am I able to get one now it seems. All the Apple 'solutions' require you to be able to boot into your operating system which, of course, I can't.
Doing a verbose bootup I am confronted with several errors.
For example:
Error reading driver '/System/Library/Extensions/ATTOExpressPCI4.kext/Contents/MacOS' (and others)
BootCacheControl : Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist : 2 No such file or directory
disk0s2: I/O error
Then it goes into a permanent (I assume - did leave it running for 12 hours) loop of errors based on:
Waiting for DSMOS...
CODE SIGNING: cs_invalid_page(0x100b15000): p=136[locationd] clearing CS_VALID
CODE SIGNING: cs_invalid_page(0x100b15000): p=138[locationd] clearing CS_VALID
Is this macbook now ready for the trash? If you can't run the operating system OR the recovery partition how are you supposed to perform any recovery?
Wish I'd never upgraded to Lion.
Thanks for any help

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Correct. If you didn't turn on Find my Mac, you can't track your computer.
First, report it to the police. Then, if you turned on Find my Mac, note that the Mac must be using your Apple ID and connected to the Internet in order to be able to track your MacBook. To track it, open Find my iPhone app on the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, or open http://www.icloud.com and select "Find my iPhone" on a Mac or PC

hello,
Is the Intel INF driver the updated version of the chipset drivers included with the mobo ? what i'm trying to say is that i have a CD-ROM wich came with my mobo (875P NEO-FIS2R)wich includes drivers for my chipset, but i came accross the intel INF driver on the download section and now i'm wondering if it's the same, with the only diffirence that the intel INF driver on the download page is more up to date off course
thx
greetz

Mine came with the version 5.00.1012. It was the same as listed on Intel site. I am now using the version that people have found over at Gigabyte's website. It seems like it's made my machine a bit more stable when pushing directX games to their limits. Maybe intel updated the AGP GART control in that release. That may be one reason why not all drivers may change version or date, if only certain components therein the inf update utility were changed and others left alone.
Drivers just suck! The problem is that we're not given a chance to uninstall the inf utility before installing a newer chipset inf. What it says and what it is are sometimes two VERY different things. It's like installing your video card drivers. If you have an ATi card with Catalyst 3.4 installed and install 3.6, there sometimes are possibilities (happens quite often really), that the drivers won't fully update. Only some components will, so when you go look at your driver details, some are still being used from 3.4. Maybe because the driver failed to unload? And if it's in memory (i.e. used by Windows), windows will not release permission to the resource and dis-allow overwriting/updating of the file. Like having a file open in Excel and trying to go delete it from explorer. You can't!!! At least not until you close the document out in Excel!!!
I think the same thing happens with chipset drivers. Sometimes it takes two installs to get it right. It shouldn't be that way, but sometimes it is... ?(

- download the add on but do not open
- go in thunderbird/extra/add ons
- left of the searchbar "extra tools for add ons"/install add on through file
- find the file "downloads"/ choose the add on + install

i have a mac, would like to upgrade to mountain lion from mac os x, anybody experienced any problems after this upgrade, thanks

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again. You can make a bootable DVD/USB stick to install using this free program.
Bootable Drive DVD or USB Flash Drive – Lion Diskmaker
Our 2 computers haven't experienced any significant problems, even though others have. I find it much better than 10.7 Lion, which I used for a week before reverting to 10.6.8
Mavericks is supposed to be released this fall, so you may want to wait.

I have just changed my iCloud account and am now having serious problems with Calendar on my Macbook Pro. Any ideas?

I decided to start using iCloud etc but discovered that my Apple ID doesn't actually exist (I was literally told this over the phone my an Apple Support worker) which is weird, as my email address for this Apple ID still exists. This is the first time I'd had any problems of this sort as I'd never had to use my Apple ID before. So anyway, I signed out of iCloud (i.e. signed out of my non-existant account) and signed in with my other, working, iCloud account which I've had absolutely no problems with whatsoever. All well and good.
Before signing out of/deleting my old iCloud account I moved all my events in Calendar from "iCloud" to "On My Mac" so that I wouldn't lose the information when switching to my new account. No problems with this. However now that I am signed in on my new account, every time I open Calendar I receive the following two error messages:
"Couldn't move your calendars to iCloud because an error occurred.
Make sure you're connected to the Internet, and then try again."
"The server responded with an error.
Access to account "iCloud" is not permitted.
The server responded:
"403"
to operation
CalDAVMigrateToServerQueueableOperation."
Note that with regards to the first one I am definitely connected to the internet. I have tried restarting my Macbook, have tried enabling/disabling Calendar in iCloud, nothing has worked. I always get these error messages. I have two options, "Try Again Now" or "Try Again Later", for the first message and "Try Again" or "OK" for the second. Pressing anything just results in the error messages just coming up again in a cyclic manner, after briefly trying to "Move calendars to server account". Sometimes a pop up also appears where it says "Upgrading calendars" with a progress bar but this freezes/never goes anywhere, and regardless of the outcome, I cannot access my information in Calendar. Note that behind these error messages etc I can see my events in Calendar but I cannot access the detailed information contained within them nor can I add any new information or essentially do anything in Calender. Sometimes Calendar crashes and I get a crash report.
Sorry for this dense block of information but I have no idea what's going on so I'm just trying to give a clear account of the problems I'm facing. I really hope someone will be able to help me with this and I thank you in advance.
Sam

Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

How I could tranfer files from my iPad to my MacBook Pro without any software?

I never found a method how to do transfering files between iPad and MacBook Pro without any software.
Exist some method?
If you know how to do it, please help me as faster as you can!
THANK YOUU!!

Hi,
Unfortunately general file transfer is not currently supported on iOS devices. If you have apps installed on your iPad that support file sharing, you can exchange files with these apps by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting the Apps tab on the device's page in iTunes. If you scroll down here, you will find a list of apps, that support file sharing, and you can copy file to/from the particular app, but there's no way of accessing the iPad's file system without 3rd party software, and even if you use one, it will be able to access the file storage areas of the file system, but not the OS root folder. You need a jailbroken device to do that.
iTunes also copies all your photos and videos from your devices. The only official way of moving file between iOS devices is with iTunes. If you consider iTunes a software (it is one) than there's absolutely no way for that, if your device is not jailbroken.
Just to be clear, I'm against jailbreaking, because it makes your device vulnerable, and can create a lot of problems, that would not exist on a factory device.
Hope this helps
Regards,
Gábor

I have macbook pro i got it from craiglist, when i was updating the oprating sestem its asking me for sestem unlocking pin? where can i get it from?

i have macbook pro i got it from craiglist, when i was updating the oprating sestem its asking me for sestem unlocking pin? where can i get it from?

I would recommend wiping the system and reinstalling the OS for any used system. OS X does not have any "unlocking pin" of sorts so this may be from some third-party software on the system. The system does have a "firmware password" option that can be set to prevent booting to alternative boot environments (ie, external hard drives, safe mode, etc), but this will not prevent system updating.

Hello. I recently updated numbers on my macbook pro. I like the auto completion feature (proposing te word as I type). With this new update, I cannot see this feature and it doesn't work automatically. Can I have any help on this issue ?

This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
Here's the link for the safeboot
