Upgrading to 10.7 and above, don't forget Rosetta!

Hello hbothner,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you'd like to change the colors on your Mac's display, then you can calibrate your display by following the steps in the article below.

Macbook Air (Mid-2013) and iPhone 5s IOS version 8.1 won't connect via bluetooth, anyone know how to fix this problem?

I have a Macbook Air running OS-X Yosemite and an iPhone 5s running IOS version 8.1. Every time I try to connect the devices via bluetooth is won't connect saying my Macbook Air isn't supported when in actuality it is. Anyone know how to fix this issue? I have restarted both my Mac/Iphone and have turned bluetooth on/off and nothing seems to help. Bluetooth pairing didn't work before I updated to IOS 8.1 so I doubt that is the issue here.

Pairing an iPhone to a computer (Mac or Windows) is only supported for personal hotspot (sharing the iPhone's cellular internet connection) and then only if your cellular plan supports it. More information: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?

Hello, I have a MacBook Pro from 2011 and I accidentally while playing around with it deleted everything off my hard drive and I need to know how I can re install an operating system. Would I have to download it.

Someone please help me
I'm not sure what I should do to re install an operating system would it be possible to install mavericks
I don't have the operating system backed up

That's not good. OS X Recovery requires a high speed broadband connection as noted here > About OS X Recovery
Check your download speed here > Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test

I have a macbook pro mid 2010 and the trackpad doesn't let me click

like i'll click but it's sunk in or stiff at times. I do not have applecare, can I still go to apple and ask them to fix it if I am willing to pay over counter? A friend of mine told me that i could not because my macbook was too old.

Hi,
Never mind what your friend said, make a Genius bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/ and let them have a look.
It could be a battery problem. In About this Mac > More info> System report > Power see what it says about the battery.

I have a MacBook Pro from 2010. How do I get iMessage to work on it?

I have a MacBook Pro from 2010 and was wondering if it's possible to get FaceTime and/or iMessage on the laptop. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, please let me know how! Thanks!

Why yes, yes it is! I see that you are running 10.6.8, so the best soultion would be to upgrade to Mavericks. If I am not mistaken, it is at no cost to you. Just go to the Mac App Store & find the Mavericks upgrade. It should be one of the more popular options on the featured page.
Good luck!

How to burn an iMovie to DVD without losing quality? I have iMovie 10.0.5 and imac 10.9.4 mountain lion. I do not have iDVD. After iMovie goes through the encoding process, quality is horrible. How can I fix this?

How to burn an iMovie to DVD without losing quality? I have iMovie 10.0.5 and iMac 10.9.4 mountain lion. I do not have iDVD. After iMovie goes through the encoding process, quality is horrible. How can I fix this problem? I have tried the apps BURN and DVD Creator for MAC. I need to finish this DVD asap and becoming more and more frustrated. Why would Apple give us iMovie and not provide us an app to burn it to a DVD and / or take away the iDVD?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

What does it tell you. If it says it isn't compatible, then you don't have a mid/late 2007 MBP. You might have an early 2007 MBP, which cannot run Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
You can check here to see exactly which MBP you have: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4132
If you hold down the Option key and select System Profiler from the Apple Menu, it will display the model identifier under the Hardware Section.
It must be a macbookpro3,1 or later.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2007 which sometimes goes berserk writing the letter 'h', and makes a fast tapping sound when not in a doc. It stops when I hit the delete key. Also can't use the letter 'h' in a word processor.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2007 which sometimes goes berserk writing the letter 'h' in a word processor. It stops when I hit the delete key for a while. Also can't use the letter 'h' in a word processor. The computer makes a fast tapping sound when not in a doc, in any application or in the finder or when a application is running. Sometimes when this is happening I cannot control the cursor. I have to hit the 'delete' key to proceed. Does anyone know anything of this?

Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X.

I have a Macbook pro mid 2011 and just bought the Apple TV. While watching program or movie from any of the apps such as Watch ABC, the program keeps stopping and starting constantly.

That would indicate a network issue.
Reboot ATV and router
Make sure DNS is set to auto
Ensure router is up to date, if on wifi try ethernet
Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

I have a MacBook pro 2011. And I need help

hi . I have a MacBook pro 2011. And I recorded some videos on aSony camcorder and the camcorder is not comparable with iMovie. And I only nowhow to use iMovie and nothing else. So is there any movie-transferring downloadI can use so I can use iMovie?

Have you checked all of the iMovie compatibility articles on Apple Support?
Apple may not have tested your camera with the current release of iMovie, but it might have done so in prior versions (8 [09], 7 [08], 6 [06], 5 [05], and 4 [04])
If your camera outputs MPEG-2, there's a solid chance that iMovie 9 will properly read its data, as has happened in the case of one 2007 Panasonic SDR-H18 that was not listed past iMovie 6 (this is my own grandmother's camera, which was only supposed to work with some cheap-as-dirt compositor, from a no-name in Japan that pushed its wares also to Fujifilm, JVC, and Olympus). In '09 my grandmother and I went out for Snow Leopard. I installed it without delay, but the Panasonic compositor would frequently crash while previewing a clip post-upgrade. After getting a big runaround from the phone techs, one of them dropped the iMovie hint. A bit more digging through the Apple boards (right here) pretty much sealed things up. The camera worked then, and still works today.
As to other formats, I don't know. Best I can suggest is to give your camera a go at your new Mac (or the other way around).

I unplug my MacBook Pro from power and external speaker and I hear incremental beeps and sounds as if email being sent. Doesn't' stop until I close email

I unplug my MacBook Pro from power and external speaker and I hear incremental beeps and sounds as if email being sent. Doesn't' stop until I close email. Not sure what is happening our what if any emails are being sent.

You can install Temperature Monitor and have a look if the CPU oder GPU oder something else went to hot. The processor has a built in safety mechanism to shut down the computer before taking damage.
