Adding Samsung 3170 to MacBook Pro.

I am trying to add a Samsung 3170 series printer to my MacBook Pro. I downloaded the driver from Samsung but when I try to add the printer via System preferences, I get a single option to go to Apple.com to download updated driver software; when I go there I am informed that it is not available. The printer is connected via USB to the computer. The printer is on the WiFi network. What to do?

I added memory to my MacBook Pro (now 4gb) and upgraded to Lion. Now my iphone 4 won't sync-gets stuck at stage 7 of 8 on importing photos. My iphoto is'09 version 8.1.2

I recently added memory to my MacBook Pro so I could upgrade to Lion and use the cloud for my contact list. It's been a bit of a mess, since I use Entourage as my email program. The REAL problem I'm having now is that my iPhone 4 now won't sync. iTunes "quits unexpectedly" at stage 7 (of 8) in the syncing process, where it says it's importing photos. My iPhoto is '09, version 8.1.2 Is this not compatible with Lion?

I have the same problem. I'm suspecting a corrupt photo, but the logs don't give me a clue. Or maybe this version of iTunes needs some further tuning.

Samsung SSD in Macbook Pro, slow boot.

So I bought an 256GB Samsung 830 SSD for my Macbook Pro (mid 2009 2.66Ghz 15"). Anyway, I installed it tonight and I've been having a lot of problems with it as an internal drive. I had been using a 750GB WD Black for a long time and it's worked great. So first, I put the SSD in the Internal, and put the Mountain Lion Install USB in, and it would never install. I could format the drive using the USB Disk, but I couldn't install it. I kept getting an error about downloading extra components. Well I put it in an External Firewire enclosure and put the WD back in the computer, and ran the ML installer from inside Mountain Lion. Lo and behold, from Firewire, it boots up very fast and everything. So once it was all installed and setup using the external, I put the SSD inside the computer. Now, it takes about 2 minutes on the Apple screen, then I get a cursor for a few seconds, then no Apple, and a spinning grey pinwheel that never goes away. The WD HDD has been working beautifully the past year and given the SSD works great externally, i'm not sure what the deal is. I've reset the NVRAM, and SMC. So when I boot from my WD HDD in the External, it boots fine. So I went to System Prefs and tried to set the SSD as the startup disk. It won't let me, says something about the Bless tool. Any thoughts as to what is going on? I hope the SSD isn't bad, but since it works great outside the computer but not in, i'm wondering what's going on.
Thanks!

Also some more background: When I got the 750 WD over a year ago (about a year and a half) my computer got all sorts of freezes. Well I narrowed it down to the 1.7 Firmware. So I downgraded to the 1.6 Firmware and it fixed my problem. So I was running the 1.6 Firmware until this July, when I had to take my computer to get the Logic Board replaced (Well, screen was first but the Geniuses messed up, so they had to put a new logic board in) and the firmware is now 1.7, but I haven't had any problems with the drive since. That goes for Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion. So old logic board wouldn't work with 1.7, new logic board did. I'm wondering if it is the firmware giving me fits, because if so i'll just send the drive back because there's no use running at 1.5Gbps when the drive is capable of far beyond that.

Bluetooth cannot pair samsung s6 and macbook pro retina

Hi all,
I'm trying to pair my new samsung S6 to my 2013 macbook pro retina running yosemite. I have gone to "bluetooth preferences" and I can hit pair and the S6 receives the code to verify and it connects, but then immediately disconnects and goes to a not connected status on the MBPro. I keep receiving a "network is unavailable" message on the MBPro when I go to try again to connect it.
For troubleshooting, I have enabled file and bluetooth sharing in system pref's. I have re-started both devices. I have re-started bluetooth on both devices without a total restart. I have enabled media share on the S6 just in case it was that.
On the S6 under the bluetooth menu, it is saying it is paired up with my MBPro. On the MBPro however, it is showing a "not connected" status.
I would love to transfer photos and video from the S6 to my MBPro via the bluetooth connection. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Chris

I have the exact same issue. Furthermore, the problem extends to creating a wifi hotspot on my s6. May yosemite macbook will not recognize the network that was just created.

Samsung 205BW with MacBook Pro, lost resolution...

When arriving home after work I have a home station with an extra Samsung 20" 205BW external monitor next to my MacBook Pro 2.4 Intel Duo. The Samsung has always shown up in the System prefs>displays at 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz... Taught a master class this weekend where they had an Epson projector. I connected to it for the class. This projector had a default resolution reset. Returning home and setting up this morning the highest resolution available for this Samsung monitor in System Prefs≥displays is 1440x900. Where did my higher resolution go? It was there before! Is there a reset that I am missing? Samsung's support is no help.

Hey rw.
I have the same display and setup and my Macbook Pro (albeit 2.2) and exhibits the same issue.
Apple is aware of the issue and there's a Bug ticket open on it to resolve. There are quite a few threads on the subject here.
I know that doesn't help but I suppose it's good that there's a solution coming (hopefully)

Samsung Monitor for MacBook Pro

My husband just purchased a Samsung Monitor, model # 226BW for my MacBook Pro. The instructions for the monitor only refer to Windows with no mention of Mac OS X. Can this monitor be used with the MacBook Pro? My husband researched monitors that were supposed to be compatible with MacBook Pro and this one came up as one that would be. Thanks.

That is completely normal behavior. How do you want to use the monitor?
Most of what you want to adjust is in System Preferences -> Displays. If the display is on and connected, you get a separate control window on each monitor. You can control how the external display appears to connect to the laptop screen (right, left, above, below, etc.) You can also turn the display on to "mirroring" which will show the same thing on both screens.
If you want to use the external display alone, you'll have to attach a mouse and keyboard (USB or bluetooth). Then, you can close the MBP and it'll just use the external screen.
There shouldn't be any compatibility issues at all.

Adding linux OS to MacBook Pro

I am wanting to learn Unix/Linux system and want to download the os on my macbook pro but dont want it to affect my computer or my warranty, anybody have any advice?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
OSX is a Unix based operating system so using the /Utilities/Terminal application you have access to most common Unix commands without adding anything else. There's lots of good books available for exploring Unix this way.
If you want to try other types of Unix/Linux then I'd suggest you look at a virtual environment like Parallels 5.0 under which you can install and run as many OS's as you wish. On this I have Ubuntu and Redhat for example ...

Adding mismatched RAM on MacBook Pro ?

Hi,
I have a 2.0 Ghz MacBook Pro with the 512 MB Stock RAM that it came with.
I would like to add 1 Gig of Mac Compatible Corsair or other branded RAM.
Do I have to install matched RAM in this computer ?
Does it matter if the RAM I buy matches the brand of RAM already installed or if it is the same amount ? I am honestly really confused about this.
Ram prices are really low in Canada right now so I want to take advantage of this but at the same time, want to make sure that the $84.00 CDN that I am planning to spend on this extra 1 Gig will make a siginficant or at least noticable difference in my MBP performance.
Thank you for any recommendations or suggestions you may have.
Kallum

KMoorehouse,
First, I'll tell you that all of the Macbook Pros use the same memory: 667MHz DDR2 SODIMMs. And, had I not noticed that you are in Canada, I would have recommended RAM from the same place tat the other poster did. In fact, I will provide two links:
For a 1 GB module
For a 2 GB "kit" (2 X 1 GB)
I purchase all of my RAM from this company, and I have been doing so for several years. I have never had a RAM-related problem, and they provide very good service.
I realize that there may be difficulties for you, being in Canada, and I do not know what those difficulties might be. If you can order from them with no problems, it might be worth it. Give them a call to find out what the ramifications would be ordering from Canada.
Going to 1.5 GBs will provide a world of difference for your MBP, if that is all you can afford. 512 MBs is simply not enough even for just OS X; add an application or two to the mix, and your MBP's performance will be really poor. Even going to 1 GB by adding a second 512 MB DIMM would provide significant benefits, and it would additionally enable Dual-Channel mode. I think that the additional benefit of having 1.5 GBs will be greater, however.

Adding 16GB Ram to Macbook Pro

I purchased a Macbook Pro and would like to add ram memory. I have recently read that the MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 is capable of having 16GB of ram added: CNET http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20125391-263/add-16gb-ram-to-your-macbook-p ro/?tag=mncol;1n
Has anyone done this and what is Apples support policy?

Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Many have done it. It is a permitted user upgrade. It does not void the warranty, although if you damage the computer in the process of installing the RAM that damage will not be covered under the warranty.

Adding more RAM to Macbook Pro mid-2012

Hi!
I have a question about adding more RAM to my mid-2012 MacBook Pro (without Retina). I've been doing some video editing with Final Cut, and I'm using quite many apps on the daily basis. I have the standard configuration with 4GB of RAM (2x 2GB) but I guess I should upgrade it, shouldn't I?
I had that idea in mind: buying extra 8GB RAM instead of one 2GB, so I'll end up with 10GB of RAM. If it won't be enough and I'll have some extra money, I will add another 8GB instead of 2GB, so I'll have 16GB.
First question - is it worth it?
Second question - can I add any RAMs supported by Macs? For example I'll leave one 2GB that I have already, and add 8GB made by, let's say, Kingston (I guess they are supported and they have good price in my country). Will this work fine? Does it make sense?

Jerroslaw,
since you’re running Mavericks, open up Activity Monitor while you’ve got your usual selection of apps running, select its Memory tab, and look at the Swap Used setting in the lower left. If it’s displaying “0 bytes” as the amount of swap used, then extra RAM won’t make a difference. Otherwise, to answer your first question, whether it’s worth it or not depends upon how frustrated you are running your usual selection of apps with 4 GB of RAM. It might be that the cost of replacement RAM modules outweighs your level of frustration — only you can make that determination of worth. I would recommend that if you do choose to purchase replacement RAM, that you get a pair of matching modules — either 2 × 4 GB = 8 GB, or 2 × 8 GB = 16 GB, to replace the pair that is currently installed.
For your second question, you don’t have to use Apple-brand RAM, but you do have to use RAM with the same characteristics as your factory-installed RAM uses. Any worthwhile purveyor of RAM for Macs will let you easily locate modules that are compatible with your Mid 2012 MacBook Pro.

Connect Samsung Continuumm to Macbook Pro

I am trying to connect my Samsung Continuum android to my macbook pro via USB so that I may copy files from the phone to the mac.
I have enabled "Mass storage" under the USB settings on the phone
I have also enabled USB debugging on the phone.
The Macbook Pro is running OS X 10.6.7
The mac has 2 USB ports, I have tried both of them with no success.
I have no removable drives on the mac.
The phone has an 8gb memory card.
When I plug in the phone to the computer, an icon appears on the desktop entitled "Verizon Mobile". This icon is a folder that contains 4 files. After about 10 seconds or so, the icon disappears. The files are Autorun.inf, ToolLauncher-Bootstrap.exe, ModelName.txt, Samsung_Model_USB_Driver.exe. These are obviously windows files and of no use here.
Then I pull the notification bar on phone home screen and tap on USB connected.
I get the choice of "Mount" or "Don't Mount"
I choose Mount
Then a message pops up saying:
"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"
with buttons:
"Initialize …" "Ignore" "Eject"
I choose Ignore.
Nothing happens, I might expect to see an icon appear on the desktop, but nothing.
and I don't see anything, though. Under my "Macintosh HD" - DEVICES, it is not listed.
I restart the Mac without disconnecting the USB cable, but the phone still does not appear.
How can I solve this problem?

After clicking detect displays I assume and mirroring is checked.
Try a NVRAM reset see if that helps.
Leave it connected to the TV w/TV on, power off the MBP and power it on holding the following keys:
COMMAND+OPTION+P+R hold till before the start chime and continue to hold til you hear the start chime 2 times, then release. Reboot.

Samsung ssd for macbook pro

Hello All,
I am trying to use the Samsung SSD 840 250 GB for my macbook pro, 2011 mid year model. Initially I used superduper for cloning, everything went smooth but then my SSD crashed, mac will not recognize it. I got a replacement disk, used superduper same thing happened, it crashed. Yesterday I used carbon copy cloner, everything worked fine, but then it crashed again. When I put the SSD to the USB, mac recognizes it, but when I install it in hard drive bin, it does not recognize it. Disk utility says that disk is verified and working fine.
I failed to understand why it is happening, I did not update the firmware or the TRIM.
Any suggestion and help.
I called samsung and they did not had any answer.
Thank you in advance!

Ah the basic. That's odd as I've never heard of any issues with one in a mac.
It could be that your Sata cable is bad, as many users have issues with them. They seem fairly weak and unless really careful when installing they can get damaged. This may be worth replacing for the relatively low cost to rule out.
The samsung drives (840 and pro) are proven to work reliably in macs, mine is also a 2011 model and I have no issues.
The steps you could take are as follows.
Clean install on the SSD. As you have a clone of your original I would try this first. Just to rule out and issues with th cloned install.
If still the same I would replace the Sata cable, taking great care when replacing it.
I would say check the firmware but if you bought it anytime in the second half do this year it will be up to date. But disk utility will tell you what version it is under the info tab and you can check against their website.
I advise to run Trim, but not running it wouldn't cause these issues.

Cannot connect Samsung HDTV to Macbook pro (late 2011)

I just bought a Samsung HDTV and would like to connect it to my Macbook pro from late 2011 running lion. I have both the adapter and the hdmi cable. The hdmi cable is plugged into the tv. When I try to change the source on the tv to hdmi it says no device found. I have tried turning both the tv and laptop off and then plugging in the cable, then turning on the tv then computer. The computer does not recognize that anything is plugged into it either. When I go to system preferences: display, it does not recognize the tv.
HELP!!!!

After clicking detect displays I assume and mirroring is checked.
Try a NVRAM reset see if that helps.
Leave it connected to the TV w/TV on, power off the MBP and power it on holding the following keys:
COMMAND+OPTION+P+R hold till before the start chime and continue to hold til you hear the start chime 2 times, then release. Reboot.

Samsung Link and MacBook Pro?

I cannot connect my MacBook Pro to Samsung Smart TV`s Samsung Link.

Finally I found a solution for that. It is in monitor Menu -> Input -> Edit Name -> HDMI set it to PC and picture quality improves to the same as DVI input.
