macbook pro

The other day I noticed a strange clicking sound coming apparantly from the left speaker of my Macbook Pro. It sounded almost like a disc skipping when the computer is trying to read it, only VERY faint. It was fully charged at the time, but it was still plugged in. I unplugged the charger cable...

I had heard somewhere that charging something constantly is bad for the battery. I've been cautious with my Macbook Pro and unplug it when it's full charged. Is this necessary? What are the repercussions of charging 24/7? Thanks.

I have a 15" Macbook Pro but when I shut the lid now it no longer goes to sleep. Is this normal or is there a problem? I have checked the Preferences but cannot find anywhere that might swtich on this lid-close sleep option. Many Thanks Michael

My Macbook Pro has recently started a strange behaviour. If I unplug the mains (and the battery is at 100% or in the 90s) after a min of usage it switches off (not in sleep mode nor has it shutdown properly). So what is just switching this off or is there a hardware fault? I checked the...

So, after some extensive research I have discovered there are currently zero solutions to run dual monitors on the MacBook Pro with true functionality (ie. Not a splitter which basically makes two monitors one big one). So anyone have any thoughts on this? Anyone heard of any rumours of some...

This is quite the mystery. Every couple of days it seems, a key -- any key -- can fall victim to the stiff key syndrome. For example, about a week ago my shift key went stiff, and I couldn't press it down, as though there were something stuck underneath. A few days later it was my square...

My new Mac Book Pro doesn't ever reach 100%. The battery is stuck at 95%. I think it hit 100 a few times the first day I got it. It has been a week now and I have it plugged in constantly. But I never see it reach 100 anymore. Is this somthing that foreshadows a battery problem? Does the...

Hello. I'm new. I just bought a macbook pro, but I've used a powerbook g4 for the past 4 years. My question is, on my new macbook there is a built in camera. My girlfriend would like to use it for video conferencing on Skype. Is there any way to do this? I've tried to figure it out, but...

Hello everyone, I'l pulling me hair out here and am after some help. I'm having some issues with my MBP superdrive and am trying to diagnose the problem so I know whether it is worth returning for repair. From what I can tell the superdrive: - Plays 'proper' DVDs fine (I have played many...

Dear all, I must say I'm surprised to be the first one complaining about these issues on macosx.com as there are many blogs etc on google that mention at least one of the following gripes... We recently traded in our iBook G4 (last of the G4s in fact) for the 15" Macbook Pro on the basis...

I'm not able to print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro

iTunes plays music when no external speakers are connected to the computer. However, songs will not start playing when HK's Soundsticks are connected via USB. If I disconnect them, then the songs begin to play, I then re-connect the speakers and they work fine. The next songs will continue...

My iBook G3 is dying fast :( it had a good run, ~5 years without a problem, and boy have I put it thorough its paces (Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects, to name a few). I'd like to fix it, because it's still a great machine, but even if I could magically repair it now, I've been thinking for...

I try to connect to the 802.1x (TTLS) authenticated WLAN network on our campus and everything goes well. The connection initialises, the authentication succeeds and the network registers as connected. The only problem is, that the macbook doesn't accept an IP address from the DHCP server. The...

Hello, I have two linksys wireless print server at my house for my printers, and they work flawlessly over AppleTalk on my powerbook G4. I just got a macbook pro, and I am unable to see the printservers when I try to add printers. Why does my g4 work and not my macbookpro? I have been...
