Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:

If this does not help, contact Apple.

I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!
Logic 8 will probably run on your new machine but the installation program contains some older PPC code for pre Intel Macs. This was not a problem as all OSX versions contained the "Rosetta" PPC emulation, that is, up until Lion when all PPC emulation was dropped.
There are ways to do this however, try searching Google for: Installing Logic 8 under Lion or Mountain Lion. -
I just verified that i have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and the airplay icon does not appear. i also have a 2013 Macbook Pro which shows the airplay icon. do i need to enable airplay on my early 2011 or is there an update that is needed? Confused.
To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

I am trying to install a brand new WD 500 gb sata internal hd in my macbook pro. the original install dvd does not recognise the hd. all hardware is ok. any help?
For some reason OS X disks (whatever edition or flavors) that are supplied with Apple products only seem to contain a limited knowledge of available hard drives on the market at the time of thier publishing. This (rather opportunistically) creates a "Best Before" stale-OS X-software-copy situation where upgrading to or replacing a defective internal SATA hard drive with a newer, better or larger one is a largely hit and miss affair.
If you buy the latest and greatest disk drive available for any older Mac you are likely to run into unresolvable problems making a clean re-install of your own, old edition or flavor of OS X onto any newer or larger hard drive since the OEM (gray) "OS X Install Disks" that Apple supply with retail products seem to contain only time-sensitive lists/mapings of then-known target drives that the Drive Management Tool in the then-published old "Installer Software" will support.
Presumably new (colorful "X") retail versions of OS X (10.whatever.whatever) also contain time-limited Installers with limited knowledge of and adaptability to/compatability with a limited number of old hard drives then kicking-around on the market.
This is especially a problem nowadays since the countless "puny old" hard drives that have been on the market are largely obsolete in a few months time, as manufacturers continue to produce larger and cheaper units, discontinuing older puny products... So if your drive fails you need an exact old (or similar familial) replacement drive for your "backup copy of OS X" to do a fresh, clean OS X re-install. Otherwise you need to purchase a new retail version of OS X, since yours is now effectively obsolete. Purchasing an old, puny drive to re-install your version.flavor of OS X to avoid buying a new version of OS X is a rather false economy.
If you still have a working old hard drive with your old polluted 10.version.flavor of OS X still working on it you apparently must clone it with Time Machine or the newest version of Disk Utility (disk image copying) to most newer, larger drives, and a clean reinstall to such new hard drives is not possible. -
My MacBook Pro, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch. Any ideas?
Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
Research Knowledge Base for network problems that pertain to the OS that is currently installed on your computer. See these basic networking KB Articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1401 AirPort troubleshooting guide

Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected
My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
Thanks

Macbook pro default maximum screen size does not cover the bottom inch
Kind of frustrated by my new macbook pro.
At the bottom of the screen, there's the icon bar (icon dock), which is about inch height. I adjusted it to smaller size, about half inch. This is what I did, not sure if related to my problem.
At the beginning, I thought it was Safari's problem. Later I found all programs has the problem. I'll use Safari as example to describe the problem though.
When I open Safari, it does not expand to the bottom inch of the screen, as if the icon dock prevents it expanding to the icon bar area of original icon bar size (i.e., inch, not half inch I'm using), and as if there was a line at the bottom inch. I click the plus sign (maximum screen), it still leave the inch uncovered. However, if I use full screen modle, Safari would covers the whole screen.
when not in full screen model, I can drag the bottom edge of Safari, but can only drag to the virtual icon bar line (at bottom inch position). When bottom edge is at the virtual line, the drag arrow is single direction pointing to up. However, I could move Safari to lower and cover the bottom inch area (with icon bar on the top), and then drag the top edge to make it cover all screen area.
What makes more annoying is if a new tab automatically opens, Safari will goes to the size with the bottom inch uncovered. This problem does not happen if program runs in full screen model.
I tried a few programs, all have such problem. Looks to me default maximum screen size excludes the bottom inch (because by default that area is supposed to be occupied by icon bar although I changed the size or just simply hide the icon bar).
Anyone know why? How to solve the problem? TIA.called Apple, the solution is:
1, turn on sound
2, shutdown
3, press and hold these four keys the same time: left option, left command, R, and P
4, press and release power button to restart
5, after first starting chime sound, continue hold those four keys
6, after second starting chime sound, release keys
this resets some settings --- not sure what is reset though. -
Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?
I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

My Macbook Pro Retina's serial number does not show up on Apple's warranty check page?
My Macbook Pro which I bought around 2 weeks ago doesn't show up in Apple's warranty check website it just says:
"We're sorry, the number you have provided cannot be found in our records. Please verify the number and try again, or contact us.'"
Currently I do not have any problem with the machine. But I always like to check the warranty in any product when I buy it and it got my attention what is said. An important detail is that I bought it from an Apple Authorized Reseller. I have try also registering from webpage to register my devices and this showed up: We're sorry, but this serial number is either invalid or it is for Apple software or accessories. If you are trying to register Apple hardware other than an accessory, please check your information and try again.Firstly, is your Macbook Pro a new one. The apple registration site is now closed and the details are usually sent to Apple via the sales slip or seller. Have you checked to see if the serial number on the machine itself matches that number you provided to Apple?
At this busy busy time of the year you should also expect delays but in the event the situation continues you will need to get on to Apple Support. Can't tell where your location is so go via ...

MacBook Pro (9,2) Thunderbolt Port does not project mirror image correctly
Scenario:
Using an Apple Mini Display Port to VGA adapter
MacBook Pro (9,2)
Thunderbolt port
Various projectors
Epson 450w
Epson 460
Epson PowerLite 45+
Using Mirroring setting in Display preferences.
Symptoms:
Inserting the Apple Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter (with the projector cable attached) into the Thunderbolt port causes a black scrambled image screen. Switching resoutions does not resolve the issue. One resolution setting came close to being viewable, but multiple images of desktop were seen.
Resolution (for me and maybe you):
Attempted multiple Thunderbolt software updates and FW updates, no success (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219). Successful: Prior to startup, insert Apple Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter (with the projector cable attached) into the Thunderbolt port, do a PRAM reset, adjust resolutions to your preference. Should work. Only tested with Apple branded Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter.The solution worked.
