• MacBook Pro display problem

  Hello members of the community.

  As of recently, I have noticed some glitches when feeding on my MacBook or awakened from his sleep.

  The colors are distorted, usually with pink, green, or yellow blobs. Blobs cannot entirely replace the colors, they appear to be contained in a element would normally be. For example. the menu bar will be partially pink and white, but pink does not leave the menu bar in this area, and the Office has green lines on it.

  I tried to take a screenshot, but the problem resolves in about 20 seconds, but it's a recurring problem.

  It happens when I wake up, connection or not. I had also certain powers serious and problems of performance, such that my MagSafe LED would not illuminate when plugged on rare occasions, fan could turn unnecessarily, graphics performance were SUPER slow, and the health of my battery was running out quickly. I actually ran a report on the system at 2 different times and my quality of full load is depleting of 1.2% per charge cycle, which is very worrying. I went from 6281 mAh mAh 6138 maximum capacity after two cycles of load. I'm tracking closely it because at this rate, my battery will survive only at load cycles about 150 instead of the 1000 expected, gives me the idea that this could very well be a bad battery. The computer is also warm to the touch while you sleep, not connected to the power supply. I NAP active but even taking into account should not be hotter my iPhone did the same thing.

  I have reset the SMC, and it solved a couple of problems. The charger works fine now and my performance improved considerably (which made me feel better, either it is a high-performance laptop, a 11-inch MacBook Air should not he surpass), and battery life has improved. I feel even if it uses a lot of power in his sleep. Maybe I need to turn off the NAP and see if that makes a difference. The graphic bug still persists however, and I don't have enough time to see if the max battery is depleting again.

  In regards to the bug, is there something that can be done? Basically, I want to assure you that I took all appropriate measures or if someone else has this problem to see if it can be software related instead of my computer.

  I have the entry level MacBook Pro with the retina, last generation.

  Any constructive contribution welcome!

  See you soon.

• After restoring from Time Machine MacBook Pro displays all my pictures, Documents etc. as 'other '.

  I recently installed a new HD in my mid-2010, MacBook Pro that the original was defective, I then restored from a time Machine up which was recorded on an external drive. My MacBook is now going great but I noticed the problem with how my saved items are displayed, I have about 110 GB of Photos, documents, etc. and all are showing as 'Other' when they should be distributed in the divisions 'Apps', 'Movies', etc.. I'm not sure how to solve the problem, I tried a Migration Wizard, but it says 'User needs Attention' so don't know where to go from here really. Any ideas?

  If you use the 'about this Mac' view, be aware that there is a bug in the program that it generates and should not be relied upon.  Sometimes, but not always, he will correct a reindexing of Spotlight:

  If you want specific information about the data on your HARD drive, download OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) Internet and open them. They will show all your files and respective sizes.

• MacBook Pro - display goes black

  I have a Macbook Pro 1 year.  At the start, everything seems normal. I put my password, the desktop appears briefly, and then it goes black.  It works fine on account of "safari only" invited.

  Any thoughts on the difficulty or trouble shoot?

  Thank you

• MacBook Pro (3-inches, mid-2012) suddenly started running very slowly; Beach balls very common

  About a week and a half, it started running very slowly with the spinning beach balls popping up all the time.  This reminds me of how when I have too many tabs of the browser as in the past, but now, even with browsers had closed, open Word or Skype is really slow.  (I'm sorry for any confusing formulation; I'm not very computer customer connected, unfortunately!)

  Some of the things I've tried so far and EtreCheck below):

  -safe mode

  -detection of hardware problems (control + D)

  -reset the PRAM

  -using the utility disc for repair/first care; also check

  -wipe the hard drive and reinstalling original OS X Lion (was still slow with beach balls; I tried to install OS X El Capitan to see if that would help, but installation could not finish)

  -wipe the hard drive and restarting from a backup previous (one month before the problems started)

  You Mbps HARD drive is suspect.  Start the recovery (COMMAND-R) partition and select in menu 4 disk utility.  Run disk utility > first aid > repair.

  Unrelated, but your battery has seen a lot of use.  I suggest to replace.

  Ciao.

• Dreamweaver CS4 continues to display a license error 150:30. Any ideas?

  I use Dreamweaver CS4 on a MacBook Pro. After a Mac OSX update earlier today Dreamweaver continues to display a license error 150:30 and the only solution online is not adapted to the OS 10.9.5. Any ideas?

  Well, without apparent reason, after trying the approach to the application terminal for a fourth time it is working. Two reboots later and Dreamweaver seems to be unlocked. Thanks to Fritz II @Jon to help him.

• 2012 Macbook pro display problem

  Hi everyone, so I bought a used Macbook 2012 pro and this is my second day with her. I picked it up upward with one hand the other day (I know you shouldn't) I tried to grab the book I had sitting under. Anyway, when I did, I got vertical lines running through the screen! I ask it immediately and simply applied a bit of pressure again left (I held from same side) and it happens again. The right did not have that. In addition, the computer went ahead and rebooted on its own a few seconds later. I'm new to Mac and I was wondering if it's just because I put pressure or if the previous owners damaged in anyway. I have 14 days to return if I have a problem.

  Thank you in advance!

• System Exec still running reduced?

  Hello

  I use a labview code that executes a python scripts via the "exec.vi system".  I want the user to see the command prompt, the code runs.  This VI has an entry for 'Reduced Run?', but it doesn't seem to work.  The script I'm running takes a long time to run and the guest actually gives an indication of how much time remains.  Is there a way for the command prompt to display as the code runs?

  Thank you.

  We will probably see some code.  enclude the py as txt

• The display on my 2008 Macbook Pro went dark. Can I connect to a Mac monitor no?

  View on 2008 MacBook Pro has been dark. I can connect the computer to a Mac monitor no?

  Sure. If the computer problem, it is with the LCD screen or the backlight, you should be able to use it plugged in the external display. If the problem is with the graphics card will not help the external display. Your computer requires a dongle to connect to the screen and you must get the correct key for display - VGA or DVI. Determine what type of port the display and buy the appropriate mini-Display dongle

• MacBook pro screen flashing external display connection

  Whenever I connect a display remotely on DVI (tried both Apple DVI-> Adapter Mini DisplayPort customized DVI-> HDMI adapter), my Macbook pro display blinks for a long time, like 1-2 minutes before you succeed. This does not happen with VGA (I tried Apple VGA-> Mini DisplayPort adapter). He is shown here:

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=dLmI82DDvXw

  It's annoying as *. For example: whenever I visit the coffee machine or the bathroom, I have to wait 1-2 minutes until I can get back to work, because the screen was turned off until I can come back. And don't suggest me to extend the period of closure, which is not a viable solution. It happens every morning so when I get to work and turn on the computer.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  See you soon

  Hi ColonelKermit,

  I understand that you have a problem with your screen when attaching it to an external monitor. You can try to fix it by resetting your NVRAM memory on your computer, which is explained in the following article:

  How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204063

  You can also start your computer Safe Mode, which can help to influence the situation:
