MacBook Pro :: Resuming From Standby / Sleep?

Nov 15, 2009

when the computer goes to sleep, I can't seem to wake it back up when I come back to use it. The screen is blank, my 24" ACD is blank although the backlight is on, everything seems to be on but nothing is on the screen.

The only I get it back working is by holding the power button down and having it to force shut down and then start it back up.

Apr 20, 2008

I use MSN (windows live) messenger. Going to switch to Mac soon for college, so I wanted to know if there was any MSN- capable IM program for OSX that supports the webcam of the MacBook.

I heard Adium is a good IM app, but does not support the webcam. Not sure about windows live messenger either.

With my new job I have to instant message clients on a variety of platforms, aim, google, msn, yahoo, ichat (mobileme), icq, and myspace.

Applications :: Finding Instant Messenger With Windows Live And Webcam

Jun 8, 2010

I have downloaded about 3 different instant messengers:

- Mercury Messenger
- aMSN
- Microsoft Messenger (newest version)

These all claim to have the ability of video chat and using the webcam, however, none so far have done so and every time I have tried it has failed or cancelled and can't connect.

I would like to know if I'm doing something wrong, I have gone through all the preferences and sorted everything that I think is right.

MacBook :: Never Woken Up From Standby?

Apr 30, 2009

when i was working on my master thesis document, i closed my macbook(physically with display down). He goes into standby. But when i opened it again, he didn't woke up. Pressed every keys, touched the touchpad, nothing happened. Then i hard rebooted, nothing happened, only the fan started making extreme loud noise. So i did a hard shut down, disconnected everything(powersupply, battery,usbstick,etc etc). Inserted the battery and the powersupply again and booted. My screen lit up, logo appeared, and the cicle(busy icon of the mouse) but it didn't rotate.

MacBook Pro :: Why Did Heat Up While On Standby

Apr 4, 2012

Today at school, I was using my laptop as normal. During lunch time I just closed the laptop display screen (so it goes on standby) and placed it in my bag. 1 hour and a half later, I go into my bag to reach for my book. My whole bag and books were VERY warm. I touched my laptop case to find that it was even warmer. I pulled out my laptop and I had to set it down immediately because it was far too hot to touch; eggs could have been fried on it (no exagerration). I was scared to open it, so I placed it outside in the cool air and now it has cooled down and I've started up again. This has never happened before, I've never dropped it and my laptop is just a year old this month (convenient now, that the guarantee just expired ).Problems first started occuring when I updated to Lion. First thing I noticed, is that it starts up and shuts down SO slowly (slower than a PC, believe it or not) and I only have 53,15 GB out of the 319,21 GB available used. So there is 266 GB FREE space. So I figured this cannot be the memory.  After 2 months or so, I also noticed that when I turn on my computer, the Apple sign on the startup comes out very stretched, sometimes it comes up on the left hand corner and the rest of the screen isn't white but coloured lines. 3 days ago, I noticed the fan was making a funny sound. This stopped 2 days later, then today randomly on standby it beyond heated up. Why is this happening? MUST I go to the shop? (I'm a student and cannot afford 500EUR repairs at the moment, other than the fact I cannot live without my laptop for 6-8 weeks as I have all my coursework to do, etc.)

Info:
MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

I have a MBP which I purchased in August of 07. I have never had a problem with it. However, recently I have noticed that the battery is discharging when the computer lid is shut and the laptop is not plugged in. This weekend I left the laptop unplugged with a full charge and when I arrived home, the battery was around 17%. Also, the health of the battery is 75%.

MacBook Pro :: Screen Stays On Standby?

Jun 20, 2010

Im really sorry if this is a silly question. I was playing football manager, then had to dash off somewhere for 15 mins, by the time i got back the screen was black, i just assumed it was on standby, i pressed space bar to carry on playing and NOTHING happened.. i pressed the on|off button and nothing happened.. i pressed and held the button to switch it off.. nothing happened..

It is still running now, but nothing is activating it, i pressed the caps lock button to see if the keyboard was operating and it didnt light up as normal.Im just letting the battery drain on it to see if it does anything on the reboot.. i dont know what else to do.. please advise!!!I only purchased it on Fri.. so its 2 days old i really hope it isnt broken already, there must be a simple answer for this? I look forward to reading any advice,

MacBook Pro :: New MBP Will Sport MBA Features Such As Instant On Technology?

Nov 21, 2010

I'm usually just a reader and not a contributer here at macrumours, but a few days ago i watched Machete, Robert Rodriguez's new movie. Amongst all the exaggerated violence, I couldn't help but notice that Jessica Alba's Macbook Pro in the movie has many of the new design traits as the Macbook Air. The most noticeable of these is the white surrounding around the screen. This discovery alone prompted me to register here and post this.Here are three snapshots from the movie to prove my point.So could this possibly be the design for a 2011 Macbook Pro release? And will this mean the new MBP will sport MBA features such as instant on technology?

MacBook :: Electricity Usage On Standby Is High

Jul 8, 2009

I bought one of these: [URL] and decided to do an experiment, now on standby (Laptop cover closed) it consumes 1.432 per night (8 hours). Laptop on standby, Cover Open but Display in Sleep mode for 8 hours costs 4.731 per day. So that means per month on standby at night, my Macbook costs 44.392. This can't be right? Because if it is, I might have to turn it off at night from now on.

MacBook Air :: FaceTime HD Camera Disconnects After Wake From Standby?

Apr 27, 2012

I have a MacBook Air 2011?Sometime, after a long standby, it wakes up with the built-in web camera disconnected.Facetime, Photo Booth, and Skype does not detect the camera, whilst for some reason, Google Chat inside Chrome actually sees it and is able to use it. Looking at the "About This Mac" I can see that the web camera is detected. However I am hoping that I don't have to keep rebooting it just to do a video call on skype.
