Saving data of damaged water Macbook Pro

So, yesterday, a little water was poured on my macbook pro. He thought first of all, it was just a dribble on the outside, (computer had been sitting firm and on the side in my backpack at the time) don't think all obtained through the keyboard... wiped it and everything worked fine. Of course in the later site I must have just turned it off, but was late, put in my backpack and went about my day. When I tried subsequently, the trackpad was goofy. I rebooted and it was fine. Later in the evening the trackpad was once again. I plugged in a wireless mouse (I needed to print something) and it worked fine, but I was nervous that there was more damage than I thought, so I stopped and left to dry overnight. This morning I tried and there are specific problems... it's just jumping around, switching windows, open applications on its own. Not good!! I closed it and put in a request to my COMPUTER technician that certainly will not respond me everyday. :-( It is currently open with a fan blowing on it.

Right now, my biggest concern is not lose my data. I have not backed up my computer in some time, irony of fate which was my plan this weekend because I'm in the middle of buying a new macbook. What is the probability of losing my data or get this computer again? I'm so angry at myself for not thinking this through as soon as possible. Other than leaving power off and waiting for news of THIS, anything else can / should I do?

Thank you!

Generally, a HARD drive will survive a 'baptism' so take out the HARD drive and install ins a speaker.  Connect the USB HARD drive to another Mac and hope for the best.

Ciao.

  • Best way to transfer data from a defective MacBook Pro?

    I just bought a new retina 15 "2.5 GHz Macbook Pro about 3 weeks ago and it has a faulty graphics card. I got Best Buy and they are willing to trade, but want $100 to transfer data. I'm not a techie BB have access to my data and I certainly do not think that I should pay $100 for it in any case. So I need to temporarily transfer the data on a disk external usb and contemplates what method to use, Carbon Copy Cloner or activation of Time Machine back up my hard drive. I don't have really a disk bootable since the new rMBP will have a system of fees so I don't know if CCC is the best choice, and I wonder if it is easier to migrate my data from a TM backup. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.

    I love the bootable clones.  They have perhaps not always necessary, but there are moments that the system does not boot and you want to try booting from the outside to either eliminate the internal drive as the question, or to repair internally by a fully-Boot installation.

    I don't use TM, nor do I need 'migrate' so I won't comment on those.

    I hope that you will buy AppleCare during this first year.  As you have seen, sometimes bad parties spend and you want 3 years of hardware coverage for these periods.

  • Damaged liquids Macbook Pro 2012 still works?

    (sort of long story)

    In January I spilled the iced coffee at the hinge of my 2012 MacBookPro. I immediately turned upside down and tried to wipe off iced coffee as well and comes off my MacBook as possible. I thought that it worked because my macbook was not turn off or do anything funny - in fact, he was always in charge and I continued to watch Netflix. However, about 5 minutes later, my macbook suddenly stopped charging and he died. Shortly after the incident, I took my macbook to the Apple local store. They said that iced coffee has been the "brain" of my computer, he had "done for", and that I should just buy a new one on the spot. (Panicking because I am a broke student) Explained that this wasn't an option for me at this moment, I have so I bought a PC-bleh.

    In April, I was bored and randomly, I decided to plug in my liquid damaged macbook and see if it would work. I heard the startup sound and the screen turned white with the little Apple in the Center display. (freaking out even once) I took it to the Apple store (again). This time, they said it was only a matter of time until my macbook stops working completely. Shortly after that, I ended up buying a Macbook of Rosegold 2016.

    However, every now and then I'll try to use my 2012 pro. I found that it only works when it is plugged, and it is INCREDIBLY slow. Is there any way I can speed up besides cleaning of space on my hard drive, etc. ? It is slow due to the liquid damage? How long should I expect it still works?

    If it works only when it is connected to the charger and is slow indicate that the battery is dead or disconnected.  A Mac that does not detect a battery of operation will be throttle the CPU.  Check the battery and see if it is working.  Maybe that's the problem.

    When a Mac is baptized, the first thing that must be done is to turn it off.  If it goes out, it's a very, very bad sign and indicates that there has been a short circuit and part of the Mac has been fried.  I do not hold much hope for your MBP.

  • Windows 7 Vaio damaged new Macbook Pro

    Hello.

    I have a sony Vaio that is 4 years old and his hard drive has stopped working. I bought a new computer apple laptop, on which I want to install Windows on.

    I don't want to have to buy a new copy of windows.

    my Sony Vaio has a sticker on the bottom that says: WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM OA MEA and there the product key which consists of 25 numbers (mainly letters and numbers a bit).

    So I have 3 questions:

    A. this product key will work on my new laptop?

    B. where can I download the ISO file required for windows 7.

    C. Can I transfer the license without having to remove the license from the Vaio first, as the hard drive does not work, it is not really possible.

    Please help me with your knowledge.

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Me.

    A no it won't.  It is related to the original material.  Keys with "OEM" in mean them the OS was preinstalled by the computer manufacturer and they are linked to original material.

    B you can Google you but if I was you (since you will need to purchase a key) I would buy 8 victory and not win 7 for win 7 support ends

    C you cannot transfer the license.

  • MacBook air water damage recovery of data flash storage of air from macbook to macbook pro retina

    Last week, I spilled water on my macbook air that extinguishes immediately after that.
    It's been a week that I let it dry without attempting to start.

    Unfortunetaly, I did have a backup for 2 weeks, (of course bad luck should come at the wrong time), and I really need to get my data from the flash ssd drive.

    I thought to transfer the player of Flash ssd of the macbook air to a macbook pro retina and retrieve the data since the macbook pro retina by making a backup. Would this work? This would not damage the macbook pro retina?

    I have a macbook air early 2014, the macbook pro retina is also the same year.

    Thank you very much for your answers.

    Best regards.

    You'd better using an external enclosure of the MacBook Air SSD rather than MacBook Pro.

  • Error message 'Install' everything is damaged by doing a clean reinstall of the MasterCollection_CS5_LS4.dmg on my MacBook Pro.

    Hello
    I get the error message "Install" the file is damaged. MacBook Pro (20102), the system is OSX10.11.2 El Capitan.
    I own the MasterCollection_CS5_LS4.dmg since 2010.
    Occurs when I try to install from my backup disk (I kept the original download as a copy on the external hard drive).
    I have now also redownloaded the .dmg together once again and got the same error message.

    Second:
    By logging into my account, it only shows me the order number and the price I paid, but does not give me the option to download from there.

    Anyone has an idea on how to get this race?
    Appreciate your comments.

    Hi John,.

    a friend gave me the solution, the old CS works perfectly on the new SSD and the OSX El Capitan
    Go to privacy and security in the system preferences.
    On the general tab, it should say allow applications downloaded on. Select anywhere.
    Then try to reinstall.
    It worked for me and I put the security preferences back to the original configuration.

    Made me a happy camper :))

  • Pass water damaged hard drive Macbook Pro (mid-2010) to another Macbook Pro (mid-2010)?

    Someone accidentally spilled water on my MacBook Pro 'Core i7' 2.66 GHz 15 "mid-2010 and after trying to dry out for a few days, I'm sure that the keyboard is in ruins, and it may be worse (I suspect the logic board like most people), but I need to (would really) keep my documents etc. However, we happen to have an another i7 2.66 GHz 15 "mid 2010 Macbook Pro lying around not being used. I'm a student in computer engineering and I'm pretty good with electronics and figure, that I can use the practice, so I was planning on trying to replace the keyboard myself, but I plan on getting a new MBP in the next few months, so I'd rather do less work if possible. MY MAIN QUESTION IS: since I'm very lucky and I have two little nearly exact same model MBP can put the hard drive of the damaged water MBP (also long the HDD no is not damaged by water) in the MBP running? And if so, what would be my challenges and if it works well enough to use for a month or two? Thank you!

    TLDR: I can take a HDD on a MBP and put it in a similar model without too much difficulty?

    Yes, but you're probably better to put in an envelope instead. If you start another Mac, or in an enclosure closed or internally, a very small number of parameters will not be postponed, and some commercial programs may refuse to run.

  • MacBook Pro with the water damage...

    So my best friend brought the computer geek, a year 2011? (do not know exactly what year, unibody) MacBook Pro 13 inches. He had a kind of drink spilled on it and now refuses to start. This isn't the only thing however. I managed to clean the corrosion off him, and it looks clean. I tried to turn on after that, the fan refused to turn but the CPU radiator was deadly hot. The screen or my external monitor wouldn't recognize it. The other problem is that the magsafe adapter is glitching now. She charges for a minute or two, then fades to the orange Sun, then dim green. If I plug it into my MBA, let it load for a minute, then put it back on, it does the same thing.

    I unplugged RAM, DVD drive, trackpad, you name it. The only things attached are the keyboard and the fan. (also the HARD disk cable so the light of sleep will allow me I hope to know when it's on.) I have no idea what is wrong with it at this point. The real kicker is that the principal amount of corrosion was of about where the magsafe connector attaches to the main Board.

    One last thing. Even when the magsafe light is dimly lit green, the status lights of battery on the service side and tell me if he is in charge.

    Help, please.

    It could very well be a lost cause if there is damage to the system board.

    I'd give course to reconnect the RAM for general operations to run correctly.

  • What should I do after I spilled water on magsafe. (no liquid on my macbook pro, so it is not damaged in any)

    It has a small green light now and my macbook pro can work on it but it won't charge my battery. Firstly you can solve this problem? (I unplugged it and put it in the rice) and secondly can it harm my macbook or the battery if I use it while there than the dim green light?

    Try posting on the right forum, this isn't for the Mac Pro MacBook Pro.

  • I managed to spill water on my MacBook Pro, Apple will know if I open just to check if the sensor LCI (water) have been activated? And if they somehow, this void my warranty?

    Today, I spilled a glass of water and it went all over my MacBook Pro keyboard. The laptop is less than a month. I did everything what is recommended - I turned off and returned upside down now and just do it sit down u with ventilation and a fan just next door. If I open it in a few days to see if sensors of water have been activated, this will automatically cancel my warranty even if they are not. I read that sometimes they get activated, so I would check.

    Water + computer means generally computer died.

    Turn the power off.  Leave it unplugged.  Find your backup.

    Let the Genius Bar to determine how much damage has been done.

  • HELP: My Macbook Pro tells the bad year and date!

    It's horrible. I am a user of Macbook Pro of Israel. The current date SHOULD be September 1, 2016, but that's what I get for some reason any. It was good but I messed up it somehow and I tried over and over again but I can not change the year and date! It says 28 AV 5776 instead of September 1, 2016. PLEASE SAVE ME!

    what I mean:

  • Is it possible to have the data stored in a set of a version of the iphone on a macbook pro?

    I have a game (canton) on my iPhone 5s and I would play on my mac because of the larger screen. The same edition of the games is available on a Macbook pro, but it will not save the data from my iPhone and it shows as two separate games. Is there a way to get around this? (If no, Apple, I'd really that if your company might consider it in the next updates)

    As Apple is not the developer of this game, Apple has nothing to do with how it works. Contact the developer to see if it is possible to do what you want. If this isn't the case, suggest that they they feel.
