macbook pro

Hi, hopefully I'm doing this forum thing right... (I'm new). I have had a major problem with my Mid 2015 15-inch Macbook Pro. For over a month now, it won't charge AT ALL past 37%. It always stops at that number. On top of that, even while connected, the battery goes down, or at least that's...

I got a MBP here that seems to be affected with the stain gate issue that I've seen around but mine isn't as bad as others I've seen. I'm just wondering if mine is worth removing because on one hand, it's not that bad in dim conditions but really noticeable in daylight. Also, I've seen plenty of...

I've got a Mid 2015 MacBook Pro running Monterey. A WD 1TB My Passport quit being recognized by the system after several times of inadvertently being unplugged without ejecting. It's got a micro usb connection that would fall out a lot. The drive lights up and whirrs when connected and the...

I'm upgrading from my beloved Mac Pro 5,1 (with Metal video card and 40GB RAM) I've had since 2010 to a new MacBook Pro (because Apple doesn't support installing anything beyond OS 10.14 Mojave on it). I can't afford a new Mac Pro right now—so that leaves me with the option of a new MacBook Pro...

Since our local Apple Store is closed because of COVID, I decided to pick up (2) MacBook Air's and (1) MacBook Pro, all with the M1 chip and is on the truck to be delivered today. My wife got an iPad Pro last Christmas, and about 6 months ago she admitted she should have got a MacBook instead of...

I originally posted this in tha Apple forum but noone had a successful suggestion. The computer used to work fine. Now the bootup process shows the apple and the status bar about half full. This takes minutes. The computer stalls there. Eventually it gives me a full white screen for a while then...

Hello, I'm Giovanni and I bought an SSD crucial bx200 e I make a copy of the HDD of my macbook pro 2007 with carbon copy cloner. I follow the instructions and after this I replaced my old hdd with brand new ssd. When I turn on the mac and after 20 seconds appears a question mark on a white...

In a long-winded thread on the Software section I discuss issues with DiskWarrior. Blah . . . blah . . . blah everything is working fine--I even now like El Capitan--but now DiskWarrior says I have "bad blocks." Nothing else does. I am running a surface scan. However, it being Friday here, if...

I recently got the latest 15" Retina MacBook Pro, and I've run into a problem when I try to use HDMI. As soon as I plug in the cable, the entire system freezes completely. The mouse won't move, no keyboard inputs seem to do anything. While this is going on, the TV keeps going between a black...

I bought and installed an Angelbird 240gb crest for Mac SSD. I have a late 2011 MBP and 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. After I installed my SSD i got my computer up and running, after about a week I checked the system report and I found that the negotiated link speed was at 3gb. I did a ton of searching...

I know this would completely void warranty, but is it possible to order a retina display lip for my 15" macbook pro and upgrade my current one? I was considering buying the new mbp's, but the lack of upgradeability (and obviously) the massive cost of buying a new computer just don't convince me...

The new Macbook I purchased earlier today won't read disks. The disk drive itself will only occasionally accept the disk, as it usually feels like I have to force it in. It often gets stuck 3/5 the way in and is blocked by some sort of internal wall. When it does accept the disk, it spits it out...

If I close the lid of my Macbook Pro whilst it is booted up and then lift the lid again I have to press the power button to get it back to life and a message comes up saying I didn't shut down the computer properly and I have to reboot. Sometimes this also happens if the Macbook Pro goes to...

I have gotten sick of my Zalman "Cool Innovations"--the fans have become the noisiest appliance in the home! I have looked about but reviews tend to be contradictory. Here is an example: Targus Chill Plate One guy says the fans do not actually cool it and the unibody can slip! The...

Hi I need to connect Dell U2711 to my mac book pro (with only a Mini Display Port), max. resolution. I was reading some people said that this cable (Mini Display port male - Display Port Male) is going to work. So I bought it but it didn't. I can't understand. I have an nvidia Geforce 9400M...

I'm looking to buy a used MacBook pro from eBay, probably a 2007 model. I've been stung in the past as I have a Mac Mini at the moment but bought the power opposed to the intel which obviously means I can't upgrade to the latest software! Only realised this once I bought it. Wondering if...

I have a 2009 MacBookPro and I can't figure out from looking in the "About this Mac" on whether my Graphics card could support a monitor that offers 1920x1200 resolution. Any suggestions on what I need to look at? Or where? T NVIDIA GeForce9400M GPU PCI and VRAM is 256MB 1920 x 1080 at 60 is...

I have a MacBook Pro (MacBookPro6,1) that came with a 500GB Seagate 7200rpm disk (ST9500420ASG) Having already maxed out the RAM to 8GB now I want to: 1. optimize drives for performance 2. add more capacity 3. a backup plan I decided to ditch the optical drive and bought the OWC Data...

Can anyone recommend a good 3rd party 500Gb SSD for a 15" Macbook Pro. The Apple ones seem a tad pricey. cheers 15" 2.52 GHz Intel Core i5 10.7.3 4GB

Hi, I'm not exactly tech savvy, so hopefully someone can help me figure out what I should do to fix it, and if there's a way to fix it myself(?)... I bought a used 13" macbook pro (early 2011), and have had it for about 4 months (the previous owner installed a 500GB SATA, and 8GB ram)...
