macbook pro

I have read forum suggestions until my eyes have gone blurry... I've yet to see anything that has resolved my issue. I have had no problems with my MBP until yesterday afternoon. Without warning it turned off. (It was charging at the time and there were no power problems.) I closed the...

Today I ran Apple Hardware Test on my MacBook Pro Penryn 2.5GHz (Intel-early 2008) and get these error codes: 4MOT/1/40000002: Right side-2893 on 1st extended test and 4MOT/1/40000002: Right side-3017 on 2nd extended test. Does anyone know what are these code referring to? If any please...

I went out the other day and bought the new macbook pro with the 2.8GHz processor and the solid state upgrade :D but now I have questions about it. On the keynote address, steve said that there will be two graphics cards in it. How do I know which one I'm using? Also what is the difference...

Hello to all, I've bought a new MacBook Pro in the last couple of weeks and have started to notice that sometimes when it boots, it has these lines that appear like heat lines or something coming up from the bottom of the screen. They're wider at the bottom and then taper up until they...

I am trying to upgrade my hard drive on one of the new MacBook Pros. MBP ships with an ATA hard drive but on NewEgg all the larger hard drives (400 - 500 gigs) are SATA. Am I limited to only ATA hard drives or will these SATA work as well?

Its weird... My MacBook Pro 15" didnt have a real probelm until I tried installing my trial version of a software. In both the windows bootcamp side and the native mac osx (leopard) the cd will go in-churn a little-and spit out. The mac sees the drive. It will take the OSX install disk. Wont...

Okay so I have my MacBook pro connected to my TV no problem. However, what portion of my macbook pro desktop that is displayed on the TV, is like, a right-side extension of my main desktop area. So I can for example drag a window fro my laptop display over to the right, and then that will be...

Hello everyone. I want to hook up my Macbook Pro to our TV, a HD tv, so that the audio from the macbook pro comes through the TV speakers. So that I can use the macbook as a DVD player. I have the proper cables to get the macbook display onto the TV, and that works fine. It's the audio thats...

I won't go into specifics (suffice it to say Sir Isaac Newton was no fool) but..... I need to replace the LCD on my 15" macbook pro 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo. Anyone got a good recommendation of where I might get one (other than paying a small fortune to have our favorite manufacturer do it for me)?

I have noticed that when I plug in external speakers to my (month-old) MB Pro the sound does not necessarily come out of both speakers at once. I may have to adjust the connection to get both speakers to work. I don't feel this is very good on such a new machine as I anticipate having to use...

Is the HP w1907 a good external monitar for my MacBook Pro? I have a lot of problems when I hook up my MacBook Pro to my HDTV. It doesn't look OMG STUNNING! But it's not bad either. Really cool for watching a movie, or just messing about online. but for when I am at my desk it would be nice to...

Hello everyone, It seems that one of the speakers on my recently MacBook Pro sometimes gives off a continuous high-pitched tone, and other times it seems to sputter when playing sounds. I only really notice it when playing music. I don't notice it when watching videos with VLC. I have...

Hello, My brother has a MBP and I have a MB, and I accidently grabbed the wrong power adapter when I was leaving his house this morning. I read somewhere that it's ok to use the MBP power adapter (the bigger one) with my macbook, but I haven't been able to find any info on the opposite...

So I have been talking to apple.com (chat with apple) and they told me (twice now) that the MacBook Pro is a better computer when it comes to gaming and graphics. It is faster, and has better specs. And ultimalty it could replace my iMac if I got a monitar for it. ... do you guys agree with...

Is there a better alternative to the MacBook Pro battery? Apple's MBP batteries have very low ratings because of their price, duration, and storage. Is there a better third-party battery out there?

I have a macbook pro and there is a slot on the left side, I think it's for cards? But no regular cards would fit, what does fit? What kind of things do you plug in there? I have no idea.

Hi, On a MacBook Pro 17" I bought about 4 months ago it appears to be rejecting all recordable CDs. It makes no distinction between Recorded Audio, Software or unwritten CDRs. It makes a "funny" clicking noise when inserting recordables. It has no issue with standard factory audio CDs and...

Has anyone here bought a new MacBook Pro with MultiTouch...or a MacBook Air with the same. Id like to know what it is like.....and if anyone has any idea if this is a hardware thing or could it be a software update? thanks,

Hi everyone, I was using my macbook pro, after three days or not using at all (nor did anyone else) - and I happened to open up photo booth by chance when I noticed a funny picture. instead of the camera turning on, there was a black screen with a camera sliced in half on top. At once I was...

This has come up out of nowhere, but for some reason whenever my battery reaches say 70%, or 64%, or something random like that, my MacBook Pro will instantly turn off. No sleeping, no warning, just instant off. It will then not turn on unless I plug it into a power source. Now it will work...
