HT2497 How can I connect my MacBook Pro using my personal cellular 'hotspot'?

I am a brandnew user of MacBook Pro (iOS 10.8 Mountain Lion) and am clueless!! I've never used anything but Windows OS's. I am attempting to connect to the internet using my cellular phone's 'hotspot'....no connection. I then tried to connect via tethering, using the USB cable between the phone & the Mac....still not connection. The phone "sees" the Mac, but the Mac is not "seeing" the phone. Is there something in the computer's settings I need to change?? Thanks for any & all input!!

Plug it in. Choose the right HDMI port for the input in the TV's menu system (cosult the TV's manual as needed). Choose the TV as the audio output device in the Output tab of the Sound pane of System Preferences. You should be all set.

Firstly, the HP printer must be connected to the ASUS' network. Then, simply connect your MBP to the network and your printer should be addable in Print & Fax in System Preferences.

How old is your MBP (year and season)?
 > About This Mac > More Info...
Apple TV is supported on a early 2011 or newer MacBook Pros with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. If your MBP is older than that then you can use AirParot to connect to Apple TV.

My Macbook Pro running lion 10.7.2 is connected to my wifi network, which also has a PC, an hp photosmart and an hp laserjet connected to a server.
I have been able to set up printing from my mac to the photosmart by entering the ip address, although it can be tempremental.
The problem is that I cannot even find the HP Laserjet on the network at all and cannot link up to it to print.
Any ideas??

Look in the printer manual for instructions.

The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)?

How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)? I assume I would need to use the DVI to Video adapter that came with my computer to connect to my LCD tv. I'm just not sure which port I should use on the TV. The HDMI port is being used for digital cable.
Also, does anyone know if this can be done wirelessly?

For a 2010+ MBP you can connect with a Displayport to HDMI, which will include Audio.
With older MBP you will need a displayport to HDMI, if you want audio to the actually TV, then you will need to get a cable with either digital out from MBP to the HDMI, or USB audio mixed into the HDMI

Depends on your model.... You can use wifi, via the Apple TV. The Apple TV connects to the TV via HDMI. If the Macbook Pro has HDMI, use that.

You can also go with something like this:
Thunderbolt to HDMI Adapter w/Audio Support
You'll need the hdmi cable to connect the adapter to your tv.
Not all MBP's support audio over the minidisplay port.
These computers supply multichannel audio (up to 8 channels) and video signals over Mini DisplayPort:
MacBook (Mid 2010) and later
MacBook Air (Late 2010) and later
MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) and later
Mac mini (Mid 2010) and later
iMac (Late 2009) and later
Mac Pro (Mid 2010)

How do i connect my macbook pro to a tv

how do i connect my macbook pro to a tv

Well, since you gave absolutely no information on which model of MBP or which model of TV, it's pretty much impossible to help. No one here can guess what kind of equipment you have, so a lot more information would be needed. You need to look at your TV manual to find out what kind of port it has and then check on your MBP to see what is needed. This article will help once you figure out the cables/connections:

And, for future reference, your question is about an MBP but you posted in the iMac forum.....

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have the cable, just connect it to both and the desktop will show up on the external display. Then, you can select different modes, changing arrangement in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement, or using shortcuts > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5019

How can I backup my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive

How can I backup my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive?

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.
