MacBook Pro Support - please help
My MacBook Pro is in repairs since one and a half years. The problem is continuous Frost, blue and pink, fuzzy screen. Tech Center have already changed the card logic 4 times, keyboard, speakers, high & low Carter, battery and an optical drive in year 1. The last repair has been there a month where they replaced the logic board again, and now, the problems started again - freezing, pink/blue screen flashing while watching videos online, speed reduction (literally everything in slow-mo), fan operates at its maximum speed, and all this happens when only one or two browser windows open without any comprehensive process running on it. In addition, it was formatted several times over the past year. Whenever I have contact support they go through the same process again and again. Please let me know if there is any way I can communicate with upper management to find a solution, I'm really frustrated and tired with the product and the process. Any help would be appreciated.
Feature: MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012)
OS x: El Capitan Version 10.11.14
Thank you.
Dear Sir: we are only a user forum. Apple doesn't have much to do with us at all. That being said, you can do something. Contact Apple directly for help. Save all documentation and be polite and patient. IF you have Applecare you may be in luck. Apple CAN and MAY in its sole discretion will replace a Mac that had a lot of repairs and still does not work properly. The opinion I wrote CAN and in capital letters. This does mean that it is possible, but not 100% guaranteed. If you bought your MacBook pro with a credit card, your warranty may have been extended. Perhaps, it is covered by home insurance...
Anyway, you have nothing to lose by trying... Have you tried to go to this place "Tech Center" and asking to speak to a Manager or supervisor?
just a suggestion

Very slow Macbook Pro (2012), please help with report EtreCheck
Hi all
My Macbook runs very slowly, I tried a number of things suggested online but none worked. I recently went to a repair shop and they suggested it could be to do with the dataflex (not sure if this was exactly, but I remember it sounding similar.) They described as a hard drive to another internal component connection, sorry for the inaccuracy.) I have me am replaced, but this did not help either.
I downloaded the software EtreCheck and I was wondering if someone could help me to make light of the report on possible solutions? I have the feeling that it could be the hard drive needs to be replaced, but have no evidence of that. Verification has been run for the problem of "Beachballing" and got the sub report, please let me know if more info would be helpful. I hope it's telling in a way!
Thank you for the pointers.

Hello mrdivorce,
It looks like of course as evidence of a hard drive failing for me. Hard drives 2.5 "in the MacBook Pro tend to fail after 2-3 years. Judging by the date on your MacBook, I think that your time is up. Maybe try to find a different repair store. Looking for Service Center authorized Apple (https://locate.apple.com/).
I suggest upgrading to an SSD and increasing your RAM too. Then you have the hardware to run the last OS X 10.11.

Hi, I downloaded Adblock yesterday, since then my Safari is running as Aol dial up to 20 years. I don't know how to uninstall Adblock.Don't you think that this is the cause?

Jam - HP Officejet 8500 pro error - please help, deployed without return option
Jam - HP Officejet 8500 pro error - please help, not deployed to M.E. no return w/lovely HP option
I have a month old HP Officejet 8500 Pro, which suddenly give a paperjam error message. There is no paper jam. I spoke with HP Technical Support making long resets even blow the bowels to air without result. It must be a simple mistake. I saw it reported on other boards, but it seems that everyone is simply trading on their printers. Not an option, like HP, in their infinite wisdom will not replace a defective unit overseas.
I thought that there is a paper feed guide that hung above the paper tray. It's hangin' is low... but maybe I was mistaken. If I tilt the printer back it will feed and eject a page, but not print.
If someone at HP would be so likely to enlighten me I would willingly do what is necessary to take part, or whatever...
Help... Help... Help... Thank you...
Here is a link that will help you.

If you experience a kernel panic, then the above is not very useful. We need to see the panic log: Mac OS X-how to connect to a kernel panic. You should visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the diagnosis of the kernel panics. See also, How to fix the kernel panics after installation of OS X updates | MacIssues and OS X-all panicking kernel.
Your diagnostic information suggest that panic can be linked to the use of FireFox. Try to start in Safe Mode. If you have no panic, then start combing through your third party applications or installed in the modules for the problem.

MacBook Pro retina - need help with design school go
Hi all
I am an avid user of PC and will soon move to a Macbook Pro of the retina for the school of design in the fall and wanted to get feedback. My main field of activity will be UI/UX Design using programs such as the sketch, Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator, and other.
I plan to buy refurbished Apple live. I'm set to zero 15.4 models "with the retina (2012-2014) or a newer model (2013 +) 13.3" with the retina and I wanted to ask you some questions in addition to get reactions.
1 are these year ranges range/model enough to manage the CC from Adobe and other design software?
2 is the a better buy overall or just for the fact of a larger screen 15.4 "?
3.I am looking for models with 16 GB of memory in the 15 ", but it is enough to 8 GB?
4. What about the graphics card options? I see a spectacular advantage of the graphics card dedicated in models 15 "? (GT 650 M/GT750M)
I have worked on towers before Mac in the previous design of the course, but have always had custom built PC or Windows based computer laptop while at home. These university-level courses are demanding a Macbook Pro with the Retina display and since this will be my first purchase of Macbook Pro, I just want to be sure before you spend that amount of money.
Comments, inputs or recommendations would be greatly appreciated
Thank you!
Remember that you can not RAM through new laptops. Download now (and Apple prices) what you think, as you need for as long as you want to use this computer more what she always going to be able to sell - when you decide to change. I see several posts where people say run El Capitan comfortably, you are better with 8GB and is here and now, not 4 years on the road. My inclination would be to go for 16 GB with all applications you mention.
Officially, Apple does not repair equipment plus 5 years. This gives you an idea on their take on older hardware. You mention a 2012 model. Next year Apple will consider that the way some people watch a 20 year old car. Now I'm a big fan of older hardware, but it takes a patient person who doesn't mind being late. Maybe it's you but if not then I would not watch something more 2 years, especially if you look at some impecunious student years.

The MXF files showing not lasting full media in first Pro CC, please help!
Help, please. I shoot football games on a Canon XF300. Recently, I imported the MXF files in Premiere Pro (CC) 2015 (all updated after November 23, 2015) and some of the length of the support files won't display, as if the first show that 15% of the length of the MXF file from the beginning of the video. I opened the MXF file using Quicktime player and VLC player... it works very well, the length, but not in first or Adobe Media Encoder. I have imported the MXF, through the media browser files and double click on the create project window, still cut the duration of media. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you. -Paul
Hi Paul,.
It might be because of some issue of permission with the drive where the media is stored.
Close all Adobe applications running.
Rename the Source folder where the media is saved and then try to re-importation of Media Browser.
Check if it's still the same.
Kind regards
