Need help on Macbook pro status

I bought a Macbook Pro mid 2015 (2.8 i7, 1 TB), I want to know is there any method or something to check the status of my Macbook either it is new or refurbished? I am very concerned about this.

Get the serial number of the about this Mac in the logo of the Apple at the top left. Contact Apple. http://www.Apple.com/support/contact/

Normally you would check this before you buy it.

  • Need help! MacBook Pro hangs, not bootable, no volume recovery

    Hi guys!

    I need some help here. My MB Pro (13",mid 2012, OS X Yosemite, 500GB SSD) crashed all of a sudden. I was not doing anything at the moment and it got a blackscreen. When I tried to reboot it, it says "A disc read error has occured. Please press ctrl+alt+del to restart". I looked that up in the internet and it can only be a command in Windows. (Yes, I have installed a Windowas partition with BC, size about 65GB) Then I tried to bring the mac into recovery mode pressing CMD+ALT+R. The spinning globe popped up and downloaded the latest "recovery files". (like this post About OS X Recovery - Apple Support) I already tried using the disk utility to repair the partition but I couldn't klick the "repair volume" buttons. Next I tried to reinstall OS X but the problem was that there was no Volume to choose for installation.
    So what the heck happened here? lol
    I would be very pleased if someone could help me solve this problem, I don't want to loose all my files (there are some important university files on it)
    Thanks very much,
    Greetings Gerit

    It sounds like a drive problem has occurred, as the alert system said. When a read error occurs, it is possible that the Mac partition was damaged and that your system cannot find a Mac system to start. That's why the world of spinning appeared.

    All I can suggest is to completely erase the disk, re-partition, then re-install OS X and Windows. Of course, if the disc is damaged you may need to replace everything first. You have a good backup?

  • Help of MacBook Pro 2012 JBL headphones

    Hello. I just got the JBL 300 Everest helmet for my birthday a few weeks ago. I've tried everything. There is no update program to get this thing to work with my computer Mid MacBook Pro 2012. The computer is one year in July 2016. 2015 purchased. Anyway, the strange thing is, works automatic JBL with the Ipad Mini 1st gen 2012. I don't know why it will not work with the Mac (laptop)? I spent tons of money on it and do not use the headset!  The bluetooth features are still available, but the connection does not work between JBL through Macbook Pro!  Please help me as soon as possible!

    Thank you! Jilly

    Try to forget the JPB on your iPod and turn off the Bluetooth on the iPad. . It is likely that it is trying to trick on your iPod, not your Mac.

    Also make sure that no other Bluetooth device is within reach.

  • help my macbook pro retina 13inch started itself and turned off while in the case

    as the title, my Macbook pro retina (bought in 2014) is transformed and then turn off 5 minutes later while in his case today, I only noticed after reviewing the event log and seeing a start and stop.  How can this happen? the Mac was definitely off not asleep and I did not put a timer.

    It is unusual for a Mac to act this way, but this is not the first time that I heard about what's going on.

    It looks like a problem SMC and is easily fixed by a reset see here reset management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support this will most likely solve the problem.

    If this isn't the case, then it could be a simple sticky switch?

    A visit to a Genius Bar is perhaps a good idea if the SMC reset does not work for you, and a new OSX installation did not help.

    I have a macbook pro running on 10.9.5 Mavericks. I got it for a few years? Pretty smooth sailing, touch wood, except for a few days every time I try to use the finder it freezes and the screen gets corrupted look (so; it's like a picture of me trying to access my applications folder).

    If I use force quit to make finder restart, it will work for the first couple items, I try to find, and then do it again. I tried to delete the plist finder and reboot, but no dice. Is there something I can do?

    Wow, never heard of that before. Beautiful new computer, too.

    • If you do not have an active guest account (you would see on your login screen), open system preferences and go to users and groups.
    • Click on the padlock at the bottom on the left and enter your admin password.
    • Under the section other users to the left of the window, click Guest user.
    • Check "Allow guests to connect to this computer."
    • For ease of use, click Connection Options at the bottom and check "see the fast user switching menu under...". "The option is not serious.

    Click on your username at the top, next to the Spotlight search, and select guest user. Find out if the Finder is doing the same thing... then you can log on to the guest user account and return to your current account.

    To sell or transfer ownership of a Mac, even to a member of your family, you must follow these instructions. So far, you will have continuous problems.

    Refer to what to do before you sell or give away your Mac

    1. If you have enabled FileVault, disable it in system preferences > Security and privacy.
    2. "Remove" your iTunes account. Ditto for Audible if you have one.
    3. System Preferences > iCloud > deselect 'Back to My Mac' and 'find my Mac '.
    4. Disconnect from iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.

    Next: delete all of your personal information by erasing the internal storage of the Mac completely.

    1. If your Mac comes with a grey system installation DVD, start up your Mac with this disc in the optical drive, all holding the key c to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which must be erased before selling.
      • Apple stopped Macs shipment requiring these discs in August 2011.
    2. If your Mac does not comes with disks, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
      • using three fingers press on and hold the following keys: (command), optionand R.
      • With a fourth finger, press the power button to turn on the Mac.
      • Keep the other three fingers here where they are until you see the icon "spinning globe.
      • This method force the Mac to download BONES initially installed from Apple servers, that won't require not an Apple ID install.
    3. Remove any password Open Firmware, if you created a: select utility password firmware in the Utilities menu and remove.
    4. Select disk utility from the utilities menu.
    5. Delete all partitions that can be created.
    6. Select the icon for the hard drive to the Mac, and then select the tab "delete".
    7. Click on the 'Security Options' button and erase the drive.
      • More "robustly" you erase the disc, the longer it will.
      • The fastest method is sufficient, since all but the techniques more expensive and equipment will be able to recover data deleted safely.
    8. When he finishes, quit disk utility.
    9. In the utility menu, select Install Mac OS X .
      • An identifier Apple won't be necessary. If a prompt for an Apple ID, return to step 5.

    2. Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, documents printed, same box if you have.

  • With the help of Macbook pro, chrome os x Maverick 10.9.5, Firefox; I quite often get redirected. Can you help?

    I redirected when clicking on a link. Get a quick overview of what should be the page for less than a second then redirected to an error in Yahoo or similar. Redirect seems to happen sometimes, when there is a slight delay in the loading of the selected link. Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    I suspect your browser bars such as:

    • SearchMe
    • Slick saves

    This is potentially unwanted programs (PUP) which are usually bundled with other software. Here are guides for Windows, but you may be able to remove by uninstalling their toolbars and possibly reset your Firefox profile:

    You can uninstall toolbars by entering Subject: addons in your address bar and click Extensions, or:

    • Tools (or

      ) > Addons > Extensions

    And remove them.

    If the above does not remove the redirection, the reset Firefox feature can also correct many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.

    Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions and preferences.
    To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

    1. Click the menu button

      click Help

      and select troubleshooting information. Now, should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

    2. At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"

      . Click on it.

    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

    Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

  • soon my first macbook pro purchase. Designer. Help

    Hey there guys!

    I will buy my first Macbook pro soon.

    I am a student of Visual communication, which means that I work a lot with Adobe

    (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effect, esc.)

    I mean, photo-manipulation, illustration, video art... heavy files.

    While Mac should I buy? What CPU? is the difference between graphics cards questions?

    and how it will affect my work?

    Thank you!

    My philosophy has always been to buy the best that I can afford both.  This would mean, for me, a maxed out 15 "MacBook Pro (which is what I bought this last June).

    But I wonder: do you really need a laptop (MacBook Pro) or something like an iMac would work for you?

    You get better performance with the iMac, everything simply because you are not paid for the necessary solidity with a laptop.  You also get a larger screen, faster processor and more memory (32GB available).
