Hi, the last install dvd that came out for mac's was Snow Leopard,10.6.3. Lion is a download from apple. You cannot just install it over Yosemite. You would have to backup your drive to save files you want and do a clean install. You might want to look into getting more memory. You can run 8 Gig"s of memory on your Macbook Pro.If your Macbook Pro is getting really slow you might want to download EtreCheck and then post the results here.http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck Check out this article. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19031

I have an '09 mac book pro with an iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) and I'm having trouble DVD burning.

I have an '09 mac book pro with an iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) and I'm having trouble DVD burning. I attempted to burn a DVD but the following error message appeared - 'Burning preparation error. Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. iDVD needs 6,541 GB of disk space to encode the remaining assets, but only 2,179 GB is available at "Macintosh HD". I've moved several items over to an external hard drive but this error message remains. How do I save this movie to the preferred external hard drive?

You can move the iDVD project file to the EHD but you still need plenty of free space on your boot drive for encoding.
It's strongly recommended that a minimum of 20-25 GB of free space be maintained on the boot drive. Otherwise you'll run into what you're experiencing and increased encoding times.

I have a 13" mac book pro with a 250 gb solid state drive and I would like to put in a larger one is this possible

I own a Mac book Pro 13" it has a 250 gb solid state drive and I would like to put a larger one in is this possible.

You don't need to partition your drive to run Fusion, only if you want to run Bootcamp.
If you have space on your Windows partition, I would suggest you backup your Windows partition, and then, delete the partition using Disk Utility.
You can now restore your virtual machine to a single volume or repartition if you prefer.
I would consider upgrading to a unibody MBP (used, refurbished will do) just to be able to access the HD. Opening the pre-unibody MBP is not something you would want to do.

Is normal in the mac book pro with the retina make fan noise al the time ?

Is normal that the new macbook pro with retina make fan noise all the time?

Hi everyone.
I just bought an mac book pro retina , 15 inches , 2 GHz, Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3. I'm a programmer , so, I really don't give to the mac book an exhaustive use, so the performance of the machine is good for me. But recently , I discovery some kind of issue : a noise fan when I reproduce a video from Internet, in full screen mode.
I download the iStatus Menus program for mac, to has a complete dashboard of the situation , and I got this :
1) When recently start the mac book, the statistics are
All in order, the revolutions of the fan are OK, no fan noise at all.
But , just opened a video in full screen , a few seconds after opened start it, the machine increase the temperature from (normal) 40° to 98° (so high), and the statistics change dramatically , as follow :
As you can see, the fan revolution increase 3x , from 2000 to 6000 . The use of Google Helper increase over 200% . And obviously the noise fan make me crazy,
I've only seen this "issue" on that scenario, ( internet video full screen reproduction ). That's not happen , even when many applications are open.
Should I worry about this ?, or, this is a normal behaviour on the machine ?.
I'll appreciate any advice or answer.
Kindly regards.

I have a Mac Book Pro with the Sub Keyboard and the sub keyboard has kicked in

The numbers under the letters are active and I can not type using these key letters which makes a wireless keyboard the only way to have this in a normal way. .
The keyboard works right on the Mac side but the problem exists with the Windows bootcamp. How can I turn off the sub keyboard part and have a normal keyboard?

ajfcrf,
I’m afraid that I don’t understand what you’re asking. What is a “sub keyboard”, and which numbers under which letters do you mean?

Is the Mac Book Pro worth the purchase?

Hey there,
I have a G4 Titanium laptop, and the LCD is starting to fritz. I'm going to get it repaired, but I'm also considering just chucking it and buying a new machine. What do you recommend?
Is the Mac Book Pro worth the purchase?
I just went and looked at the 15" mac book pro at CompUsa, and the machine was so hot around the trackpad area I was shocked. That was a bit of a turnoff for me.
Should I just get the smaller Mac Book? (altho, I hate the shiny screen.)
Is it best to just wait until January and hope for some better machines??
Help!!!
Thanks!

I agree with Brody. Rumor sites have been proven wrong, very wrong in teh past, often. What hapepned to that ipod video that was supsoed ot be otu on teh 30th aniversary, abd before that at soemthign else, then at wwdc? OH yea, it didnt show up, at all
Also as for his 'price comparison' thing it is the same with all machines. The Pro has better video (much better.. though could be better), a better display amonth other small features. It is roughly 800$ more. Now, compare a dell nspiron E1705 - code du0 2.0ghz, 100gb, 1gb, integrated intel graphic chipset, 17" priced at $1499 to a XPS M1710 - codeduo 2,.0ghz, 1gb, 100gb, 17uxga+ display and 512 7900gtx at $2915. Non-integrated graphics, and a good chipset though the 7900gtx does destroy the punny junky x1600 (so take off say 400$ to be more fair) the price diffrence is roughly the same when teh better display si thrown in as to apples 12 vs 15 with higher res and better viewing angle. A decent video chipset for laptops are way more then a regular video card when changing it, displays also don't come cheap.
If you need the power of the mbp for say motion or more professional use on the road (try using a 12 for professional graphic dev or other fields it is more then annoying... i used a ibook prior ot my pb and couldnt do it, i returned it wiht in 2 weeks), powering a better diaplay and whatbe it else i'd suggest getting one. if you do not need it and can live with teh 12" get the macbook.
In the end it is yoru choice, but as we've said don't go by rumors of if or when better cpu will come out as technology advances rapidly unfortunatly, espcilly when there is no officialo word as to if they will go to it.
best of luck on yoru choice!

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically. I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive. will that delete the windows partition too??

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto. I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system. My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too. If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

What do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the thunderbolt on the mac to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

what do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the mac's thunderbolt port to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
High regards to everybody

How do I save documents from my Mac Book Pro with Lion 10.7 to my IPAD 1 with the proper iOS device downloaded

I want to know how to save a document that I have made on my mac book pro with Lion 10.7 to my ipad 1 with ios 5.1

I have a new Mac Book Pro with Retina, and Keynote crash almoset every time i use it?

I have a new Mac Book Pro with Retina, and Keynote crashes almoset every time i use it? I have the newest update.
Could you please help me? I have a lot of Keynote shows, and I have to use it now!!
I have saved a crash report, if you need it.

Apple will not write back to you. Telephone using the Apple Care phone number appropriate for your country and ask for a refund, if that is what you want to do.
I use Keynote everday, it does exactly what it says it will do, that is if your NOT using Mountain LIon.
There are many applications available
I have used MS PowerPoint professionally for many years on both Windows and Mac, I can assure you it can do everything that Keynote can do and very much more.
Which software you choose depends on who you are and who you are presenting to.
for interactive presentations look at:
PowerPoint
Adobe Flash
Adobe Director
Camtasia
Dreamweaver (an HTML application)
for simple photo slide shows:
iPhoto
iMovie
Picasa
Photomagico
Adobe Lightroom

I have a Mac Book Pro with a 320 gig hdd and my drive is corrupted and I can't engage it. So I would like to switch to a 1 terabyte drive can this be done?

I have a Mac Book Pro with a 320hdd, 2.33 processor, 8 gigs of RAM and OS X 10.9.4 . My hdd crashed and I cannot access it so is it possible to install a 1 terabyte drive with the operating software already installed and also upgrade my RAM to 16 gigs?

If I were you I'd install a small SSD as the boot drive from OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC
Then put a second large conventional drive either in the optical bay (Data Doubler) or in an external.
You don't say which MBP you have: Size, CPU type.
Also when you upgrade you could see if you can salvage your data from your old HD. Can you hear it spin up? If so Data Rescue IV.
