MBP With Acer 27"

Hello Everyone!
I am wondering if I should buy this Acer 27" monitor for my Macbook Pro.
here is a link:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=50584 60&CatId=3774
I want to use the maximum resolution on the monitor and im wondering if i will be able do reach it with a miniDisplay port to DVI adaptor or if im going to need the $99 adaptor?
Thanks everyone!

No, the $99 adapter is only is you have the old 30" cinema display form Apple.
That display does not need dual link DVI.
You need the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. It's $29 - $19.
Hope that helps!

  • Can I use both newly cloned MBPR retina and old-MBP with same Time Machine

    When my new-MBPR retina cloned from the old-MBP back up in Time Machine via migration assistance, will this newly-cloned MBPR continue thereon backing up with the same old-MBP back up in Time Machine? I.e. continuing same timeline?
    And what happen to my old-MBP back up, if I continuing to use my old-MBP with the same Time Machine on? Will TM recognised 2 different MBP and thus creating 2 back ups? I seem to have problem to keep 2 MBP running with same TM. Programs not responding even force quitting them!
    And what should I do to use both? Appreciate your help. Thank you.

    OK, but in general I can use this one device as both file storage and Time Machine.
    I thought that (for some reason) once I set up the Time Capsule to act just as Time Machine storage I would be unable to access it as a plain file storage.
    I have just tested it now, and it seems it can work as both - file storage and Time Machine. I can see the Time Machine backup file on it and folders where I can dump regular files.
    The only thing I would need to occasionally do is delete some old backups to keep Time Machine segment below 1 TB just so I have plenty of space for regular files.
    This thing is awesome. :)

    I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini.  So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

    Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
    As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
    Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

  • Anyone else having trouble connecting MBP with thunderbolt port (TBp) and 27"iMac with mini display port (MDp)

    I have a 27" Imac.i7 with mini displayport and MBP13 i5 with thunderbolt port. Some time ago I tried to connect my old MBP with miniDP  to The 27"iMac I Failed so did the apple centre they refunded cable costs and said I'd be contacted by Cupertino. That was 9 months ago, now replaced MBP with 13 inch(**** I can use my iMac as display!). Does not work phoned Fast Lane very helpful guy called JIM emailed me some software/firmware update links.  Still no display linking. One of the links was for a couple of updates for a TBp equiped 27" iMac mine is only MDp equiped. Failing to find any MDp updates in apple support.  Anyone have any Ideas!  My lad has a later 27"i5 he uses Xbox 360 no problem on his but it wont look at my MBP.
    Beginning to feel like some of the kit that went with a fully loaded 5500 worked eventually. Computer and FM radio, Photography kit fine, video capture audio capture forget it.  Too many crashes and resets made it impractical.

  • ITunes is incompatible with Acer PCs, can I get a refund on my iPhone 4S and buy a Galaxy instead?

    Ten days ago I signed a contract with Sprint for the 4S iPhone and Apple Care Plus through Radioshack. I also bought a $25 gift card to spend on iTunes Match.
    When I got home to use it, and iTunes, I found that iTunes crashes within seconds of opening. Every time, guaranteed. I went through the usual steps recommended on these forums of checking for updates, turning off firewalls, restarting Windows, checking for viruses, uninstalling and reinstalling, running as administrator, pressing shift when opening, etc. No luck.
    I went to the Apple store, and to my surprise, they claim iTunes is a whole seperate brand from Apple computers they know nothing about (I guess like how Ford and Lincoln are two seperate companies). Despite my expensive warranty, and the 4S not being remotely as usuable without iTunes (yes, I can still use it as a phone, and listen to Pandora, but I was really hoping to have MY collection of music and photos on it), theres nothing the Apple store would do. They recommended online support, but that breaks down to two options, these forums, and a paid (per minute?) "ExpressLane". According to Radioshack, that Express Lane is free with the Apple Care+ however, I'm afraid, if Apple Inc. considers iTunes a seperate company and service than the 4S, I will be charged a ton of money because technically my issue is with iTunes not the 4S hardware.
    Nevertheless, at least at any cost someone on ExpressLane might be able to fix iTunes. But before I tried, I discovered that the problem is literally unfixable.
    I discovered this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3224128
    Like a dozen people, all with the same Acer Aspire, and assuming by their claims of 1.0Ghz dual core AMD, the exact same netbook model I have. The same problem. (Only they have been able to use the rest of iTunes, just not some feature.) They claim theyve been able to get iTunes running by turning off something called Genius. But I can't seem to do anything fast enough from the time I click the iTunes icon on the desktop to the time it crashes.
    If iTunes, one of the biggest features of iPhones, is incompatible with Acer PCs, and my only option is to buy a whole new computer, don't I deserve a refund?
    Who would I take it up with? The Apple store was kinda rude. Should I complain to Sprint stores, or to Radioshack? Or Express Lane? Who is responsible for a refund? How does Apple get away with not addressing an issue that affects one of the most popular lower price brands of computers? I don't suppose Acers are all that rare considering their price, they seem to be the PC of choice at Targets, Sears, Kmart, Walmart, etc.

    If you want to return your iPhone, you must do so through whoever you purchased the iPhone from. If that was someone other than an Apple Store, either online or physical, then that dealer's return policies will apply; Apple will have nothing to say about it. You may have to talk to Sprint in regards to your contract with them. I believe you have 30 days to return your phone and cancel your contract, but I'm not certain about Sprint.
    iTunes works fine under Windows on many, many systems, including Acer. Perhaps if you'll post details here, someone can help you sort things out. The thread you refer discusses an earlier version of iTunes and probably no longer applies even if that were the problem on your system, though I cannot say with certainty.  Note that if you are running Windows 7 Starter on your netbook, that version is reported to have problems with a lot of software, not just iTunes. Many people have installed and run iTunes quite successfully, though.
    they claim iTunes is a whole seperate brand from Apple computers they know nothing about
    I don't know who you talked to, but either there was a misunderstanding - the statement would apply perhaps to the iTunes Store, but not to iTunes as a program - or that person was an idiot. iTunes, the program, is most definitely an Apple product and should be supported fully by the Apple Store technical staff.

  • How to use multiple closed MBPs with KVM?

    I have an unusual problem I'd eagerly welcome help with:
    I have four MacBook Pros (from 2006-2010) that I use in my day-to-day work, since each of them can run an instance of the client software I work on.
    As you imagine, this consumes a fair amount of desk space having them side-by-side, as well as the seeming redundancy of having each one's screen showing, since I actually only need to focus on one at a time (commanding it to do tasks I can background for awhile). In addition, I prefer to use the mouse over the trackpad whenever possible.
    So I had an inspired idea: I read that you can run a MBP in closed clamshell mode while hooked to an external display. That got me thinking, hmmm, what if I stacked these MBPs in one pile and connected them all to a 4-port KVM, so I could share a monitor, keyboard, and mouse among them?
    Then I saw the prices of some 4-port KVMs, and they get fairly pricey, so I'd like to learn from others' experiences on the following specific questions:
    Are there heat issues I need to be concerned about? The software I work with tends to ramp up a MBP's fans pretty loud.
    Are there KVMs that are known to work best with this config? Some seem more Mac-friendly than others but the ones I'm looking at (Gefen, IOGear) all get mixed reviews thus far. 4 computers sharing 1 DVI display + USB keyboard and mouse seems fine, as 4 sharing 2 seems to jack up the price a lot more, and I don't have a specific need for two monitors.
    I've previously gleaned some info about MBPs with KVMs, but haven't come across a setup like the one I'm suggesting. Thanks so much in advance!

    I'd say that you ought to look at using class and id attributes in your table elements.
    If you have two tables and want seperate color schemes use an id on the <table> element.  Then you can select that table in your CSS quite easily.
    <table id="greenScheme">
    <table id="blueScheme">
    #greenScheme tr {
    One set of rules here
    #blueScheme tr {
    Another set of rules here
    I don't/haven't used tables that much myself so don't feel confident about writing out some sample CSS for you here.  However, it shouldn't be too difficult to work out.  Also, I did a fancy table not long ago to put up a price table in a site.  A quick google on something like style tables CSS will bring up plenty of tutorial type stuff on styling tables that won't be too arduous.

  • How to restore MBP with dual drives from time machine

    Hi one and all. Hoping I can get some help here. My trusty mid 2010 i5 MBP's hdd died on me the other day, which isn't really the problem, as I've got two time machine back-ups. The issue is that in my wisdom I decided to swap out my old (and nearly full) 500 GB HDD with a 240 GB SSD (Crucial M500). I then loaded OSX 10.6.3 via the dvd that came with my MBP, formatting the SSD in the process. Then promptly removed the optical drive for a Samsung 1TB drive, formatted it and started transferring all my data over via the migration assistant.
    I put everything other than photos, movies and some documents on the SSD, with the space hungry images, movies and docs going on the HDD. Now I'm assuming that because my boot drive (the SSD) is smaller than the time machine back-up (about 480 GB), this was the only way to do it? Doesn't really sound like I've got much of a problem then does it? Well, I then attempted to update the OS to OS X 10.6.8 so I could update again to mavericks. I installed the update to 10.6.8 and now I'm stuck in a perpetual log-in loop. The password is correct, it starts to log-in, then blue screen and back to log-in... repeat to fade or until you feel like giving your mac a Basil Faulty style thrashing, which ever comes first.
    I've ordered a thumb drive with Lion 10.7 on so that I can attempt to try again (really can't be bothered to re-install the optical drive), but I was hoping someone may have experienced this kind of issue before and have some kind words of wisdom. No worries if not, I'll just go outside and try to find a decent branch to thrash my previously loved mac with
    Cheers
    Rich

    Right well it appears I have further complicated things for myself. Whilst I was waiting to sort out my MBP, I restored from time machine to my mac mini so that I had a machine to work from. Then I fixed my MBP by installing new drives (SSD and HDD where the optical drive used to be), and using migration assitant to copy everything over from time machine. So now I technically have two machines the same.
    Only problem is when I try to update the MBP with Mavericks it tells me it cannot install on this machine. Is this because I did restored the same original mac to two new machines?

  • Can I get a MBP with 32 GB of RAM?

    Can I get a MBP with 32 GB of RAM?:  I know someone is going to give me a 1-word reply: "NO".
    But what I want to encourage is a bit of a discussion here.  Why not 32 gb RAM?  Isn't it about time?  It can't be the price or??  Can't the software handle it?
    I keep things a long time--- 10yr+ PBG4; 5 year MBP-13" --- and that's great when I could (and have) upgraded with more RAM, SSD's etc.  But today's Macs are basically sealed boxes like an iPad I believe (talking MacBOOK / MBP's here, not iMacs)(although they are fairly tightly sealed nowadays, too!).  So I really have to purchase thinking "What will I need in 2020 or 2022?"  -or- "How do I win the lottery?"
    Any comments appreciated -- I was planning to upgrade my mid-2010 MBP from 8 gb to 16 gb RAM (yes, you can… just this one model of that age) --- but perhaps save the $150 and put it towards a new one--- then again, $150 is only about 5 hours of an Watch so might just do that anyway…
    Thanks,

    Friday 10 April 2015

    I believe this IS a problem -- it is an issue I have about not being able to run things without enough RAM.
    And I think "No you can't" is not a very helpful answer at all!  In fact I prefaced my inquiry / problem with my first sentence thinking someone like you would give just such a reply---- was trying to avoid that!
    There might be companies out there like OWC or Crucial or I don't know who -- that could / might / might some day provide increased RAM for existing MBP's just like for my MBP 2010 that is spec'd at 8 gb max RAM but there is a 16 gb solution out there.
    So if anyone else would like to try to solve this problem for me --
    Best regards,

  • Does anybody have a functioning 17" mbp with a 6Gb/s SSD drive?

    I ordered a MacBookPro 17" (June 2011) with the 7200rpm hard drive which is a slow drive, but comes at no extra cost with the machine.
    The ssd's Apple ships with the mbp's are relatively slow and expensive, so I do not consider them an option. I therefore ordered an OWC Mercury Pro 6G (240GB) sata3 SSD drive and replaced the hard drive with it. Under both Snow Leopard and Lion I get beach balls almost continuously. Installing the ssd in a co-workers 15" mbp makes the drives work at over 500 mb/s, so the drive is not the problem.
    I explained this to the people at AppleCare's helpdesk and they state, since I used a non Apple item, they can't help me. They tell me to go to a local reseller and have them install the ssd for me. This way the mbp is still valid for AppleCare. The local reseller won't touch my mbp since I bought it online at Apple (and not at his store), plus I did not buy the OWC drive in his store. In short, AppleCare is useless here. They claim I should've ordered one of the Apple ssd's (which are basically sata2 drives).
    Since the 17" mbp supports sata3 and has the fastest processors of the mbp range (which is why I bought it in the first place) I do not understand why Apple would force me to 'downgrade' to a non current ssd. I work with large 3D drawing files as well as multilayered large photoshop files, so having a fast drive is very beneficial to my workflow. The hardware in the 13" and 15" mbp's support the functionality of a 6G ssd in practice, whereas the 17" mbp only does that on paper. Selling my 17" and swapping it for a 15" model seems the only option but I refuse to believe a company that claims to be technologically advanced can ignore having specifications that only work on paper. There is no record, comment or even gossip of Apple indicating this is a problem, let alone they are working on a fix, despite finding numerous forums online where people have the same problem I have.
    So for the record, on the official Apple Support site, directed to both Apple developers and users:
    Is there anybody that has a functioning 17" MBP with a 6Gb/s SSD?
    If you have, please let me know the specs or your machine and drive so I can see if there is a solution to unleash the full potential of my MBP.
    I believe there is no sadder sight than the sullen tread of a caged (osx) Lion. Help me free the desert's fallen king!! ;-)

    Thanks wjosten for your reply. I filled out a feedback form.
    To comment on AussieDJ's post: I tried the OWC shielding kit, doesn't work. The problems described with 6Gb/s ssd's were all with pre March MBP's. Mine is a June 2011 MBP so I figured the problem would've been solved in the mean time. I guessed wrong there. Since I waited for the release of OSX Lion (and the trim support functionality) I thought this would solve the spinning beach ball issue. I guessed wrong there as well. Can't return the ssd anymore (>30 days) so I glued the ssd on our offices "wall of shame". Being an architecture office we have everybody in the office put up poorly designed objects here (sort of a cool and uncool board but then labelled ***? and No way!). I should've glued y 17" MBP on this wall actually (since it's hardware does not work with the 6Gb/s ssd), but the bugger is too heavy and won't stick... ;-)
    The worst part of the story is that my dad got his 6Gb/s ssd to wortk in his windows notebook...and he does not skip an opportunity to rub it in (your MBP can't do no 6G)!
    Let's hope there will be an EFI update!

  • I'd like to know how much performance difference there is in the 15 in MBP with Retina display?

    Hi:
    I have a legacy (2007) MBP that needs to be replaced. It still runs, but not well, given that the HD is nearly full.  The headphone out jack is "hit or miss" in terms of working properly.....you get the picture.
    I'll replace it with a 15 MBP with retina display, and also go with the 1 TB drive rather than the 512 as its actually cheaper (I think) to have Apple put the larger drive in than upgrade after the fact.
    My question relates to the available processor speeds:
    2.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz   
      2.8GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz
    Is there any discernible difference between these processors, and if so,  under what conditions do they manifest themselves, and how significant, generally speaking are the differences.
    I'm sure it depends on the software being run and tasks being performed....video rendering, gaming, etc.
    I should also mention that I'm not the most patient person (serious understatement) when it comes to the speed of even basic tasks....word processing, itunes, youtube videos, and the like.
    I generally work with multiple windows open and with my current computer's age and remaining HD space get the "spinning pinwheel of death" with great frequency.
    One last bit of information. I'm a musician and composer, who needs to get into the 21st century and actually use the notation software I've got (Sibelius).  Any computer I have needs to be able to play back scores well, which means playing/processing multiple instrumental parts at the same time,
    Thanks in advance for your advice,
    Michael

    The only way you can get a valid estimate is by someone examining the MBP directly.  Since no one on these forums can see or examine your MBP, you will need to get this infomation from a qualified repair shop.  It seems that you already have secured one estimate.  You can also bring the MBP to an Apple store and have a genius bar examine it for FREE.
    Ciao.

    Hi buddy,
    > I kept O.S. original for a week and the problem was the same
    If you had the same problem with factory settings you should test another router. Maybe its a malfunction of router or something else (not compatible to your WLAN card).
    Furthermore ask the manufacture of your router if they know something about this.
    In worst case its a hardware malfunction of your notebook. You should contact nearest service centre. I believe they can fix it under warranty, because A660 is pretty new notebook.
    Good luck! :)

  • I currently have a mbp with two internal hard drives ( took super drive out) which for a video editor like myself is a dream I can edit video anywhere, my question can I order a new mbp with 2 internal flash drives?

    I currently have a mbp 2.3 gighuz intel core 7 16 gig of ram with two internal hard drives ( took super drive out) which for a video editor like myself is a dream I can edit video anywhere, my question can I order a new mbp with 2 internal flash drives?

    I wouldn't think so because the newer ones with Retina displays don't have an internal SuperDrive that can be replaced. Therefore the newer logic boards wouldn't have the two SATA/SATA Express connections on the logic board.
    At least that was the case as of 2012. I've seen newer ones and they also don't have a SuperDrive.

    slaglejrp,
    perhaps it would be less expensive to just install a new disk with a larger capacity on your current MacBook Pro, rather than plan on buying a new Mac with a larger disk? Once your current disk has been cloned to the new disk, and the new disk has been installed into your MacBook Pro, that would allow you to keep Photoshop 5 on your current MacBook Pro.

  • Number of TB displays you can add to MBP with TB

    Simple enough I guess. Is it possible to daisy chain 3 monitors with TB to a MBP with thunderbolt display port. 

    Same problem here.  Got about half-way through my planned movie, added some voiceovers.  Only the first one played.  Added an audio clip.  Didn't play.  Sure feels like iMovie just got fed up with all the audio I had put in over the days and weeks and just decided it wouldn't take any more.  All the first bunch of audio played fine.
    My solution: start a new iMovie project (part 2) which picks up where the first part started to fail.  Did the same stuff as I did in Part 1 as far as adding photos, voiceovers, and music; in the new movie project all worked perfectly. 
    Apple programmers should look for some capacity limits on the audio aspect of iMovie.  It seems to get constipated.
