My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why ?

The Airplay icon will not display if the OS is unable to locate any Airplay devices.
I would check that both devices are connected to the same network and maybe even power cycle the network devices - eg router etc
Maybe even try to connect both devices to another network like an iPhone personal Hotspot and see if that helps to isolate the problem

Getting Pop Up Ads on my Mac Book Pro All of a Sudden, Regardless of Which Browser I use (Chrome, Safari, FireFox)

I'm getting Pop Ads via Google Chrome / Safari / Firefox all of a sudden in the last 2 weeks. I use a Mac Book Pro OS X (10.6.4). I've never had pop up problems w/ Mac before, I've been using Mac for a few years. I've also been using Google Chrome ever since it came out and haven't had any pop ups occur. However, in the last 2 weeks, I'm getting pop ups all the time. Sometimes when I click a link, it redirects me to a pop up first. My settings on Chrome are still set to "Do not allow any site to show pop-ups." However, they are still popping up. How do I stop the pop ups?
Updates:
Also, even if I don't click a link, I'm getting pop ups. 4/24/11
I've ran 2 different Anti-Virus programs (Sophos & MacScan) and done a full scan w/ both and it comes back as clean --> no virus / malware detected. Also, seems like i'm also getting pop ups on Safari and FireFox as well. Altho the frequency on those is less than Google Chrome. Any other Mac user facing this issue? 11:21 AM

THIS PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!! 5 DAYS & COUNTING AND NO POP UP ISSUES! I came across a blog (can't remember which one now) and realized maybe its not my Mac, maybe its the DNS (Wireless) that I'm connected to that is corrupt. I noted what my DNS address was by clicking on the Apple icon on the upper left hand corner of my laptop and then navigating to System Preferences > Network > Advance (button) > DNS (tab) on Mac. I don't know anything about how DNS stuff works, but I am in a location where there are several restaurants / coffee shops around me with free wi-fi. So, I went and connected to a different restaurant's free wifi. Then I went back and checked my DNS address and it had changed to something new. And under the new DNS address, I haven't had any redirects yet! I went back and tested all the links via Safari that I was previously getting redirected from (including this one) and no redirect issues! YAY!!! Since then, I've been using a wireless card device w/ a different DNS. 5 days later, I still haven't gotten any pop ups!!! So, I guess the issue was w the DNS (wireless) that I was using, not with my laptop. Hope this helps anyone else that may get this issue, worked for me!

My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone? I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

Sounds to me like you may have gotten a machine with hardware issues, but it's hard to say. It will shut down if it gets too hot, but that's not a normal occurrence. I have never seen a MacBook Pro shut down due to heat, even after lengthy 3D gaming sessions where the fans are running fast and the bottom of the machine is unpleasant to touch.
First thing I would try to do is reset the SMC. If that doesn't help, erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch, which you should always do with a used machine anyway.
If a fresh system doesn't help, you'll need to get it checked out by Apple.
Edit: Oh, and sig is absolutely right... please don't post in all caps! It's very irritating.

Unfortunately yesterday my mac-book pro was stolen. Other than obtaining a police report is there any advice, i.e. can Apple remotely disable it?

I'm very sorry to hear about this theft. I don't think there's anything you or Apple can do unless you took advance preparations.
Read the article "Employee Thoughts: Protecting Your Machine in Case of Theft" in this newsletter for the sorts of things one can do in advance of a theft:

Unfortunately, there's little you can do at this point other than start changing all your passwords and hoping the police get lucky.

If the Mac came w/system DVDs, you will need to obtain them prior to selling.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

Welcome to the Apple Community..
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

My Mac Book Pro will not start up. I ran the AHT and received the following error: 4SNS/1/40000000:Th0H-90.750. Anyone know what this means?

I have no idea how much it will cost to repair. I don't even know what the exact problem will prove to be. It may be quick if it isn't a motherboard problem. I just don't know. Take it in for a service diagnostic, then they can tell you what is involved.

Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ?

Not directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

I have been working on a book and have 418 photos already in my book. All of a sudden I cannot access the book format to see the multiple view, spread view, or single view. I can no longer see my book although I still see the collection with 418 photos

I have been working on a book and have 418 photos already in my book. All of a sudden I cannot access the book module and clicking on the multiple view, spread view, or single view does not take me back to the book I have been working on. I can no longer see my book although I still see the collection with 418 photos under collections. What I do see is a blank template for a new book and I can't find the unfinished book I started with 418 photos. It is like the new empty template is somehow covering it up. How do I get back to the book I have been working on?

Is it possible you mistakenly clicked on a [Clear Layout] button?
But a great hint is- Always click on the [Create a Saved Book] button, early in your new book design.
Then you have a permanent link to the book in the Collections panel. (In addition to the standard collection of your selected images)
Note: a Book Collection shows an icon that looks like a book.
Every time you come back to edit the book, open the Book Module by clicking on the white arrow that appears on the end of your Book Collection title. (The title as saved)
Re-opening a book without using the "Saved Book" option can have unpredictable results.
A "Book" Collection is like a "Smart Collection" because anything you do to the book design, change pages, change images, etc, is automatically updated in the Saved Book collection.

How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

I have just bought a new mac book pro and want to use this machine as the main computer to which I will sync my iPhone and iPad.
How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
Thank you

Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder ..that doesn't have firewire out/input?

I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
Thanx

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx

Mac book pro early 2011 takes a lot of time to start up and shut down.

I have a mac book pro its early 2011 15" i updated it from snow leapord to lion since then i have been having a problem with the shutdown it takes a really long time. And i am now concerned because my mac took a lot of time to start up today it kept showing me the apple symbol for 3 min then it showed the login screen can u guys help me weather there is some issue with my mac or most of u are getting this problem. Should i install snow leapord again or should i bear with the issue untill an update is there pls help im really worried..... Thank you.

You'll only be abe to repair permissions on the partition where your operating system is installed. For instance the disk on which I have Lion installed is name MacJoseph so that is the only disk I can repair permission on unless I boot from an install DVD. To do a clean install see these instructions. It's not difficult at all. This article may explain more about a clean install. To re-download the Lion installer open your App store application, at the top of the App store where it say's 'Purchased' hold down the option key while clicking on 'purchased.' This will open your purchases and allow you to download Lion. When the installer finishes downloading quit the installer and it will be in your applications folder. Hope this helps.
