I have a macbook and have been looking at macbook pro as I may upgrade. It doesn't look like any of the apple notebooks on the market now have DVD drives in them. Because if it is, it's not a good thing, in my opinion.
Info:MacBook, iOS 5
Since the update to 10.6.3, I'm not able to write to mounted SMB drivers anymore. Reading and copying, as well as changing filesnames does work properly, but I cannot save any new files to the drives.
Following error appears:
The operation can�t be completed because you don�t have permission to access some of the items.
I've checked the NAS (Thecus N5200 Pro), but all permissions are correct. Same thing from a second Mac with 10.6.3 to the sames SMB mounted drivers.
I'm looking at the specs page for the MacBook Pro and it reads this...
Your MacBook Pro comes standard with a 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive. Choose a hard drive with a faster speed for greater performance. Or you can choose a solid-state drive that offers enhanced durability.
Basically suggesting that the HDD option has a performance advantage over the SSD, but is this the case? I always thought SSDs could read & write quicker because they use solid-state flash memory as opposed to hard disks.
I want to go with the 256GB SSD but I want to know how it ranks in speed.
I have a question regarding Time Machine functionality. Here's my situation. I have two hard drives in my Pro: one that operates as a Boot drive, and one for storage. Right now I have Time Machine set up to backup my storage drive, but I was wondering if it was possible to have plug in a second external drive and use it to back up the Boot drive. I searched for a similar thread, but couldn't really find anything. Has anybody successfully done this?

So my mid 2010 Macbook pro won't read CD's anymore. When I put a cd into the tray, all it does it make some noises then spits it back out. I rarely use the cd drive actually. Whats the problem? Am I going to have to pay Apple 100's of dollars to get this fixed when I already spent more than $1000 on the macbook itself? Please say thats not the case.

I recently got a new hard drive put into my computer as the other one broke and I lost everything previously on my hard drive.Â
I now have a fresh hard drive and it had all of the regular things on it such as iCal, iTunes, Safari, Photo Booth (all of the things macs usually come with) but did not come with iPhoto so I can no longer upload photos onto my computer!!Â

I never had any trouble until recently, and when I open up the "Printers and Faxes" option in System Preferences, my printer isn't listed. When I click "add a printer", it's not there. I have cleared my printers and reset everything, but it hasn't fixed it. I can plug it in via USB and it recognizes it, but it won't find it via airport.

Lately I have been unable to open PDFs from the internet. When I click it sends me to a blank internet tab. Sometimes I am able to control click and have the option to save the file in my downloads, then have to go back into finder to open the file. This is also the case when opening PDFs from emails. However there are some files on the internet that will not allow me that option. I have tried this in firefox, safari, and chrome.All are the same.Everything worked just fine until about 3 days ago.

Sometimes it will burn one cd and then I try to burn another and some of the songs will play on the cd but then the rest won't or the cd wont burn at all. I thought it might be the type of CD im using but i bought a different kind and tried them on other computers and the problem is definitely my computer.

I have a macBookPro mit Lion. Since I upgraded from SnowL I face serious problems with iPhoto, Email, Firefox, Internet and other software applications.After upgrading I had a iPhoto Library and an iPhoto Mediathek. Latter, I deleted and now I have always the same message: The Mediathek needs to be updated (even though I don´t have a mediathek but a Libaray). See pic:
If I do update the Mediathek, it comes up the window: iPhoto has inkontinences with the mediathek. Please repair. I press the repair button and afterwards nothing has changed but I have all images double and if I start iPhoto all over again, its the same procedure again.

I have in the past downloaded my movies from my Canon Legria FS21 movie camera. Now I went to download the movies and they won't.Â
I asked some Chinese people at the local Apple Shop, but their English is like my Chinese, good for general conversation but not for computer language. All I got out of them is that I can't download them.
The files in Finder show on the card as PRC001>MOV00A.MOD, MOV00A.MOI. The file name changes the last digit with each scene, but all have the MOD and MOI ending. Now I have no idea what that means. way of getting those movies into iMovie?Â

My Macbook pro will not play CDs/DVDs at all anymore. Every time I insert a CD or DVD it will accept it but then it will make odd noises and eject the CD/DVD. Is there anything I can do at home to try to solve it before I run to the apple store?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to this, but since today the screen of my Macbook doesn't get out of it's dimmed status anymore. Whether I'm on adapter or battery, no matter what I do or press, the screen is dimmed [like pressing F1 till it's on 0 notches, so when the screen seems off, but you can still see if you look hard].
Even if I adjust the brightness, I can see the notches going up, even full, it doesn't change anything to the brightness. I tried restarting multiple times, also with command-option-p-r to reset it, but no luck.
Does anyone have an idea what I can try to fix this? Any idea what the problem might be?
When I insert my SD card it isn't showing up anymore. How can I fix it?

My external HD won't show up anymore on my desktop nor does it get listed in disc utilities. I tried to cennect it to another mac but it doesn't show there either nor in that mac's disc utility. I happened to re-start the computer while the hd was connected and now it doesn't show up anymore. I use it for back-up via Time machine. I could re-format and do the back up all over again but then I need to find it first.
