MacBook Pro corroded with water.

Before Christmas, I tripped and knocked down 1/2 H2O L on my MacBook open.  After the meeting on a fan for 3 days, I was able to take it to an Apple Store. They checked and everything was dry but corroded, give me a solution of level 4. They said that they can remove and replace for $1250. Since I bought it in 2013 should I go ahead and get it fixed?

  • MacBook Pro 2009 with slow SSD on El Capitan

    Hi all

    I recently put on the upgrade to El Capitan of Mountain Lion, that my Macbook Pro 2009, updated with a crucial v4 SSD and 8 GB ram, was very happy.

    Had a very difficult installation that hung a few times, but finally got it set up after resetting the PRAM.

    Since he has been very, very slow - beachball right turns and towers - opening an application are a 5 minute job. Printing takes 10. The SATAII connection shows as being to 3 GB, so it should be good. Any other El Capitan on a 2009 MBP running seem happy with it. I activated the trim, it made no difference.

    I was not able to find someone else in line with the same config or problem, so grateful if someone has experience - I was wondering if it is worth getting an SSD different, or even the original HDD back in?

    Thank you!

  • MacBook Pro warmer with ethernet

    I just tried with (instead of WiFi) ethernet cable to the internet on my MacBook Pro so that I can download large files without interruption. I noticed that whenever I do that, my MacBook is significantly warmer. Not as bad as if I had to play a video game on steam, but much hotter it is usual rest temperature. Why would the cause of ethernet a higher temperature, and is there anything I can do to make it work in a more normal temperature when you use ethernet?

    I have the laptop on a hard, smooth surface, connected. No direct light from the Sun hitting the computer. MacBook Pro, mid-2012, 13 ". El Capitan running.

    Hello

    Your MacBook is going to be heated for various reasons. Your disk reading and writing at a fast pace is perhaps one of them, including bringing data quickly on ethernet. This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry. I got myself a MacBook Pro 13 "2015 and it becomes often warm, but it's common with computers. Unless your computer is showing signs of slowing down or crashing, then the there's nothing to worry about.

He can't do anything and I can not re - install Snow Leopard or even Windows XP. In other words, he is immune to all orders.

    Is there a way I can revive this laptop?  Since this is a so-called very old MacBook Pro, replace its hard drive is simply unrealistic and impossible.

  • Games on Macbook Pro - retina with AMD M370X 2015

    New to Macbook Pro laptops. I bought 10 TIA for frames here at my job and supported more than 2 years now.

    Bought a new Macbook Pro the retina with the Radeon M370X graphics option 2015. I'm used to the game on Windows laptops and I have a question regarding battery drain.

    Run these computers laptops always battery? HP, Dell, etc. I could take out the battery and it will run strictly on the current.

    I ask because once I have Steam to load and install a game, I can play for about 45 minutes, while it is plugged in with the original 85W adapter, until the battery is at 5%.

    This is normal behavior for this laptop?

    Certainly, you can run the MBP with the charger connected even with the battery disconnected.  I don't recommend that because the OSX will be butterfly of the CPU and performance should be degraded.

    What do you use must be a serious resource hog.  In rare cases, when the charger is plugged in but additional power resources are needed, the battery is charged for the difference.  This is perhaps what is happening.

    Try a SMC reset and see if there is a difference:

  • MacBook pro 2009 with new SSD try to clean install Yosemite or TM disaster restoration.

    Hello.

    I think this is going to be a difficult discussion.

    Unibody MacBook Pro 2009. Original Apple HDD with Yosemite 10.10.5.

    Two months ago, that my HARD disk is dead.

    I installed a new SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive and through the recovery of TM all went well.

    A couple of weeks, my 'new' SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HDD started to scratch a little (I mean literally zero while reading/writing), so I thought he would die soon again. This time, I decided to buy an SSD in order to have better performance and superior durability.

    So I bought a Toshiba 248 Gb SSD. I'm not a big fan of Toshiba, but where I live, it's the SSD only I found in the store.

    I removed the old HDD, I installed the new SSD and where my nightmare starts.

    First of all, I tried with a new Installation of USB from Yosemite. I followed all the passages and the installation completed in about 9 days. Yes you read that right: 9 days. The progress bar runs for 9 DAYS.

    At the beginning I obviously interrupted the first couple of facilities when the progress bar was like "12 minutes at the end" for three or four hours, but then I read in many articles and support threads that it is quite usual installation seeks stuck for hours or days, but if you open the log console computer is always something. So I gave him his time and the third or the fourth installation I waited my NINE DAYS to be finished.

    Then when the installation ended the restarted mac of himself and is stuck at the loading screen with his beautiful Apple and the progress bar frozen at about 50%.

    I froze for about 4 or 5 hours of average.

    I found a few articles that sometimes happens, and all you have to do is to force the computer to shut down and start again. So I tried to force the shutdown by holding down the power button and after the reboot it just keeps starting with and stuck at first infinite progress bar.

    So I reboot on CMD + R to get a clue, if I got in trouble on the SSD or what. I run disk utility and found that on my SSD were about 290,000 files and many files as the Yosemite was finally installed. I tried to check the permissions, but it says less than a minute and then got stuck at halfway to complete 15 minutes, so I stopped it.

    After that I think 4 or 5 attempts to start new fresh install on my Yosemite and clean, I reset the SSD erase decided to start all over again.

    I died a little inside while doing it. Same as the erasure was so f * king quick to finish! (about 50 seconds, sonofa 'byte').

    Then I tried to not reinstall Yosemite again (the nightmare of 9 DAYS still has me) but I have tried a new way: recovery of TM.

    Just to say my original TM backup was about 340 GB and my new SSD is 248 only while it was quite clear he wasn't.

    I connect my external TM drive to another computer and I worked the ' delete all backups of * file * ' to get a smaller backup TM.

    Now, I moved a lot of things outside the TM backup and the new dimension of the TM backup is about 90 GB (I want to say that the whole folder backups.backup is about 90 GB), in fact I moved the other stuff was also inside the external Western Digital drive and is now free space Go 910 (, hence the content of the WD is just the TM backup folder this weight about 90 GB), but I still have the 'this drive doesn't have enough space to restore your system.', it's totally A LIE.

    Never mind. I accepted the idea that sometimes even computers are ashamed of themselves and begin to tell lies. I can handle. There was a holy man in the history without any sin. So, ok, no problem. I'm not upset or anything. I can get over it (mf you little liar!).

    Think of manually restore the files that I needed once I have a BONE in my new SSD, I used the same external disk to create a new backup from another computer, my Mac Mini TM. Everything went well and I got a new Mac Mini TM backup about 60 GB (it's much less than 248 GB of my new SSD).

    I reboot the Macbook again to try to restore the backup, Time Machine of Mac Mini and everything seems to work, except for:

    -progress initially said about 650 hours needed to complete the restoration ago.

    -I went to sleep and let the machine itself working together on the restoration and when I woke up this morning I found that the rest of the time was "fair" 52 hours.

    -J' was a little happy to see this, until the Rainbow rolling ball appears. Everything got stuck again. I force shutdown and then try to restore it.

    Now it works again and the remaining time is close hours 672 (and growing). I'll give it another chance. We'll see.

    Now, I have four questions to ask you:

    1. you have an idea (with the exception of a curse or a matter of black magic) WHY all this happened? And of course if there is something wrong and I can work to fix it otherwise?

    2 are there special settings to enable/disable/configuration/whatever to create works faster still to understand that it doesn't properly before discovering this NINE DAYS or 672 HOURS right now?

    3. when we agreed that something like that was acceptable? I used to be a project leader in the world of ICT and in 20 years I NEVER, I say NEVER, released a product/app/site Internet/solution that considers that an option taken 9 DAYS to install or something like that. NEVER. Do not forget that we are talking about Apple and an operating system. I think Windows is laughingly taking revenge.

    4. do you think that for me it is time to let Apple and go back WIN + PC? It's quite frustrating and I use the computer to WORK, not to play games video and this is not the kind of operativity expect after paying a little more for material, a little more for software, a little more to be part of what it is supposed to be the one that had the best choice (index not be not it kills me).

    I thank in advance for any help/tip, you can provide.

    Alberto

    This is a fairly long post. What I would say is:

    1. the next time get a hard drive from a company with a good reputation like Samsung (best SSD ever, I have several internal parts and a laptop EVO). I get them shipped.

    2. as you use the Mini, the recovery partition allows you to install a new copy of Mac OS X, and then use the Migration Wizard to move your stuff.

  • Mac Mini vs MacBook Pro 13 "with retina display

    Recently, I decided to buy a Mac computer having never used several Windows computers.  I already have an iPad (I love by the way) that I use for taking notes and work on documents, while I'm not at my desk.  I have a Windows laptop at home which I use primarily as a desktop computer.  About five weeks of the year, I need to use the laptop as a real laptop (i.e., I need to move office where I keep it by the way).  However, I believe that, following an update of the iOS OneDrive app, that I should be able to work only from my iPad (i.e. the computer should not necessarily be used for these five weeks).  Nevertheless, I would still know that the Mac was portable so that I could at least carry somewhere or put it in a bag and connect it to a TV, use it as a monitor.

    I also want the Mac to last me five or sixyears, so a very important criterion for the Mac's longevity After looking through the different available Macs, I've narrowed my selection to the following:

    • MacBook Pro with the retina 13 "2.7 GHz 8 GB RAM 256 GB SSD (see here)
    • Mac Mini 2.8 GHz, 8 GB RAM 1 TB Fusion drive (see here)

    Most of my work is to use productivity applications (e.g. Microsoft Office); emails and browsing the web, as well as a small photo editing (I currently use Paint.Net under Windows to give you an idea of the kind of program I want to use).

    So, to summarize:

    • The Mac I must last for 5-6 years; I don't want to have to replace here there if that can be avoided
    • I wish it were portable enough to carry rarely, even if I have to plug it into a monitor somewhere
    • It must have an SSD
    • I would like to have a machine that will run the productivity (like MS Office) applications fairly quickly; I won't use image programs much (or at all)
    • I am a student at the University, your costs would be appreciated as well!

    So I'm looking for a recommendation as to whether the Mini or MacBook Pro with the retina (or another Mac altogether) would be better for my needs.

    Thank you very much!!

    Either one will meet your needs very well. The laptop has a little better graphics, but the Mini has a lot more on-board storage.

    The laptop has its own screen KB and mouse/trackpad is more portable.

    Two Macs need to be supported for the same amount of time in the future.  However, the laptop is more prone to damage jut because he's moved a lot.

  • MacBook Pro comes with El Capitan will not work with Yosemite?

    You just bought a Macbook Pro (15 ', i7, 16 GB, 512 flash ") which comes with El Capitan and apparently I can't install Yosemite.

    I have the audio hardware and software which is more stable on yosemite by many accounts... After spending $ 3,500, I think I should have the ability to run the previous operating system (Yosemite)... very unhappy about it... as I use my rigging professionally and it's for me real time waster

    I have been informed by mac support to return my mac and get the old stock with a reseller... what a joke!

    Is there a real physical limitation or is it the IEF / SIP / MSC?

    Can anyone offer a solution?

    Thank you

    George

    Well, the line official company has always been that you can not install older software OS on a Mac than the version it came with.

    That said, I can say that I have indeed to install older versions of the operating system on some computers, (the Mac Pro towers). You will find very little written on the question of whether or not you will succeed. I make a backup of everything, the partition of the hard drive and try.

    It has been my experience you can usually return at least a version of the OS, but there is no guarantee.

    I just got a HP Envy 23 monitor to use with my Macbook Pro of retina and so far it has been a serious struggle. The problem, I'm focusing on today is healthy. The monitor has a headphones Jack Beats Audio. Headphones are connected but my Macbook claims 'the selected device has no exit controls' and there is no sound at all. The monitor and the laptop are connected via an HDMI cable. What is the problem? I don't want to return to the screen, but it seems that I could roll up to spend hundreds of dollars on cables and Adaptateures to find the right combination to get a clear picture and sound. Ugh.

    Thank you for any help or advice.

    Here is the manual for a HP ENVY 23 IPS monitor, which may be the one in question or just a similar but reading of the record, I believe that there can be no speakers.  By reading the description, it could lead the user to assume there are speakers: "HP ENVY 23 23 inch IPS LED Backlit Monitor with Beats Audio" but it must just be a thing of audio processing.
