How can I request a video chat through messages on MacBook pro? The other person cannot connect to me.

The Mac version is called Real Studio
That is not the same as Visual Basic. It is similar, but not the same. Unless something has changed in the last few years, it will not execute or create Visual Basic code. That may or may not be important to the OP, depending on whether he actually needs VB or just a product that is similar, but is an important point he needs to be aware of.

Thinking to buy a new 15inch macbook pro retina display. Aim to use it for video editing and compositing... Is ıt worth for it?

Hi... I am a freelance filmmaker. Now I have 2008 model mac pro and I am thinking to buy a new macbook pro 15 inch retina display. Do you think its worth for it? I aim to use the macbook mainly for video editing, video compositing (after effects) and photo editing. My current old mac pro has 12 GB and the graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB (Yes I still use it). My main question is, do you think its better to move to macbook pro or upgrading the old one? Making it 32 GB of RAM and buy a new NVIDIA cuda capable graphic card? I dont have enough budget to make it together... Want to hear your suggestions...

I'm not sure, I've seen pro animators use MBPs but usually with a large monitor. Especially doing video editing, compositing and editing it might make more sense to upgrade the Mac Pro to an SSD as the boot drive. What kind of CPU setup is in your Pro?
Check these out:
mac pro SSD upgrades?

I deal exclusively with OWC. I'd call them and walk them through your system and see what they say.
What you do takes a lot of CPU, RAM, graphics and boot disk power.
I've upgraded my two computers to SSDs and the first thing I noticed was that Photoshop CS6 opens in 7 seconds vrs. 50 seconds when the application was on a HDD.

Tired MacBook Pro

Hi!
I bought my MacBook Pro for about 6 months ago, and I'm starting to get worried... It has started to behave like I'm pushing the CPU to the max, but I'm not really doing anything. It gets warm, noisy and slow. And with slow I mean like the dock is lagging and the color wheel is spinning for ages.
What I was doing the last time this happened was to have one Safari windows open with three tabs (a flash game in one), working in iPhoto '09 and listening to music from Spotify (streaming music leagally).
I don't think this is something a MacBook Pro should have difficulties doing. This feels like very basic work and if it is too much for the computer to handle, I'm very disappointed!
But I don't think that's the case...
Another thing worth mensioning is that I'm using the computer closed with an extern display standing in a BookArc. I don't turn off the computer every day, just letting it rest. But I do restart it 1-2 times a week.
Do anyone have an idea about what might be the cause of the tired MacBook, and how do I fix it?

Newbie to apple. just got a macbook pro...10 questions

hi.
i recently just switched/purchased a new 15 inch Macbook Pro yesterday. i have been playing with it last night and this morning and i have a few questions...
1. what do i do with all those discs?
-do i have to install MAC OS X, itunes, and apple care? im sorry i just don't get it. is there more stuff on the MAC OS X discs(1 and 2) that i have to install?
2. transferring music/files/pics/etc. from pc to macbook pro?
-how is this done? Ive read where you can just connect an Ethernet cable to each computer...i tried falling directions but no success. then i tired to drag my music from my ipod into my library in my macbook but it did not do anything?..how can i transfer my music/files to my new macbook pro?
3. right click?
-is there a way to right click?
4. wireless Internet?
-i did not want to buy an apple port or whatever its called. im planing on just getting a linksys...is there a specific one i should buy?
5. noise?
- ive been reading in other posts how people have solved or not solved the "whining" noise... is there a final solution? if so what?
6. print screen?
- is there a print screen option on macs? like on pc's where you press the print screen button and it copies whats currently shown. an apple person from the store showed me it can be done but i forgot what he did. all i remember is that he dragged the cursor and was able to copy the screen.
7. multiple screens?
-i remember this apple person showed me that you can have like 4 screens at the same time minimized in each corner but only one would work but you could still see the others...how can i do this?
8. best way to turn it off?
-i usually just put my PC on standby when i was done with it. what is the best option when im done using my macbook? should i just put it to sleep? and also when im sleeping should i turn it off completely or just put it to sleep?
9. icons wont move on desktop?
- i just downloaded firefox and when it was done it left an icon on my desktop. i tried dragging it to my applications but it just made a copy. how do i get rid of it or move it?
10. AIM?
-why does aim always sign off by itself? whenever i log on about 30 seconds later it logs off...can this be fixed? i dont really like using ichat. i dont like how to buddy list is setup unlike aim.
thanks!

I will give this my best shot. I too am a recent convert.
1. File them away in a safe place for future use if necessary. If you need to boot or reinstall anything later.
2. Export all of your music to an external HD from your PC and then just import them on your MBP. Go to the File menu in iTunes for this. I think I just copied my My Music file from my Win PC to a external HD and then imported them on the MBP.
3. Hold control and click at the same time. You can buy a mouse and that will help also. I bought a wireless mouse that comes with a USB key. You just plug in key and mouse works great.
4. You can use any wireless router. I have a Linksys (cant remember the model but I think its WRTGRX2).
5. Dont have problem or just dont notice it.
6. ??
7. ??
8. I asked the Genius at my local Apple store this question and he said to just close the screen to put it to sleep if Im going to be using it again the same day and only shut down when I wont be using it for a couple of days. In standby or sleep mode it does use up some battery power. I usually turn it off each nite but during the day put it to sleep in between uses.
9. Once you drag the icon to the application folder you basically did a copy and paste of the application so you can drag the desktop icon to the trash can and get rid of it. You will still have the copy of it in the application folder and that can be used to access program. you could also drag from the application folder the icon into the bottom shortcut list of applications (i cant remember at this moment what this is called) but if you drag it in from the left side you will be placing a shortcut of the application for quick access.
10. ??
Hope I kind of helped.

Landline to MacBook Pro for dialing in and out

I'm not sure this is the place to post this, and if it's not I'd appreciate pointing to where it's most appropriate.
I have a phone on my desk at work. It is part of the office's systems and has caller ID and transferring capabilities. I speak on the phone a lot and type at the same time, which gets tiring.
I have this idea to somehow use a splitter at the phone socket on the wall with one end going to the existing handset and the other to my MacBook Pro. I would like to then use my MacBook Pro to dial and pick up calls and use my MacBook Pro's speakers to get the caller's voice and the MacBook Pro's microphone to pick up my voice.
Can this be done somehow?
I found this AppleScript that looks like it could help, although I don't know if this is more aimed at faxes:

I know my MacBook Pro doesn't have a modem built-in, but I was able to find this online which could help me?
http://www.shopbot.com.au/pp-apple-usb-modem-price-33476.html
Ideas are welcome, thanks!

Thanks Roger.
I hear you re "less hassle". However, the reason I ask is because I also listen to music whilst I work via a bluetooth headset. My ultimate goal is to set all sound from the mac to come out through the bluetooth headset and the Mac's built-in mic to pick up my voice. To answer a call I'd just take the handset off the hook and work hands-free.
I can't change the handset from work, unfortunately, so I can't get a bluetooth phone or anything.
I'll probably get the modem anyway as it's useful to have. Thanks.

I am a Communications student with my major in journalism and Broadcasting. Should i get a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro?

I am a university student and I currently use a Windows computer but I think it's time for a Mac upgrade. I'll be using it for writing lots of word documents and powerpoints, LOTS of web surfing espescially with many tabs and watching shows from my external hardrive. I'll be using some Adobe programs like Dreamweaver, Photoshop or Flash. I'll need to install the Windows OS into the laptop as well for my work. I'm also a light gamer. Mostly for the Dragon Age but that's not important. Portability, convenience and battery life is very important. I would hate to carry around a heavy laptop everyday.
I'm aiming for the either the 256GB, 13inch MacBook Air or the 13inch MacBook Pro. I'm not sure if I need such a high peformance laptop like the Pro but i'm also unsure if the Air is up for the job. The only reason why im hesitant to get the Pro is because it's very expensive and it's too heavy, Which one do you think i should get?

Macbook Pro 13-inch will do fine.
If you prefer a lightweight computer, Macbook Air 13-inch is the right choice
Consider 8-16GB RAM and 256 GB SSD.
Best.

Viewing application windows in full size on a macbook pro

I connect my macbook pro to a 23 inch screen in my office. When not connected to this external screen, I find that one of my windows in Interface Builder is longer than the vertical length of my 17" macbook screen. How do I scan down to see the bottom portion of my IB screen? I suspect this is a problem with any application window this is maximized on a large external screen and then viewed on the laptop's much smaller screen. Thanks for any help!!

Most applications have a menu item labeled Window and if you drop down Window, usually there will be a Zoom selection. If Interface Builder has that, try clicking on Zoom and see if the trouble window snaps back to being within the smaller screen of the MBP.
Another method that might work, if there are other open windows in Interface Builder for which you can see the green resize button at the top left of the window, try Option-clicking on that green button and that should cause the resize action to take place for all of IB's open windows.
If that doesn't work, one thing you can try is lowering the MBPs resolution through Displays preferences and then restoring the original resolution. That should have the effect of resizing all the open windows to a screen fitting size.
If none of those work, write back. I still have two other methods that might work but I'm getting tired of typing these out

Memory on Macbook Pro keeps decreasing like crazy!

Okay, Ever since I installed OS X Mavericks onto my Macbook Pro (Early 2011, 320 gb if that helps anyone?) , I've started to notice a big decrease in my hard drive space, even when I'm not downloading anything? I've even moved a couple of movies to my external hard drive and then had them deleted from my mac and the memory decreased even more!
But the strange thing is, I turned off my macbook and then turned it back on to see if something would happen (before I turned it off, I had near 143 gb of free space). After I turned it on I checked the amount of memory to see if it had changed, and it went to 155 gb of free space. BUT-- I checked again about 15 minutes later after checking some emails and it went down to 151!
Can anyone PLEASE help me with this?!

Your title says Memory, but your description refers to your HD storage space. The two are different..
" and it went to 155 gb of free space. BUT-- I checked again about 15 minutes later after checking some emails and it went down to 151!"
SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

As for Memory / RAM
Mavericks is designed to use RAM differently for good reason. Normal
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/12/compressed-memory-in-os-x-109-maverick s-aims-to-free-ram-extend-battery-life
Mavericks uses RAM much more efficiently than any other previous version of OS X. Mavericks now has a memory compression feature that will compress the memory occupied by applications that aren't being actively used and give the freed up RAM to the application that needs it the most.

Connecting Macbook Pro 15" to Samsung HDTV - Audio Problem

Hey guys,
I'm new to these forums so I hope i'm posting this in the correct section! On to my problem...I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.8 GHz- Late 2009 (model: MB986LL/A) and I'm currently trying to connect it to my new TV which is a Samsung LCD HDTV (model: LN46C610).
The video connection is perfect. I'm using Apple's Mini-DisplayPort to DVI, via DVI to HDMI to my TV.
The audio connection for some reason is not working.
I've tired using an RCA cable, which has a regular audio jack on one end, and the 2 coloured wires (yellow + red) at the other end. No luck.
Now I was told to buy a Mini-Toslink cable to connect from my TV to my MBP. I've plugged the Optical Cable into the TV and the other end to my MBP. Yet I still have no sound.
Can anyone please guide me on how to set this up? Maybe i'm doing something wrong or i'm using the wrong cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Karman

Ok i'm in the Utility but i'm confused...where would I go to select it to change the output?
Because everywhere i've tried...I don't see an option to change it...
*EDIT: ok I've noticed when I plug in the mini-toslink cable to my MBP, i notice the output source changes from Internal Speakers to Digital Output*
*EDIT #2: Still no sound when I do that...also on the back of my TV, the digital output connection use to have a red light in it, and now it doesn't anymore?*

Macbook Pro Mid 2012 w/ Thunderbolt built in display - Green light stays on constantly...

Just recently this week, the green light next to the isight/webcam built in on my Thunderbolt 27" monitor just stays on mostly all the time. I have followed all of the troubleshooting steps of resetting the PRUM and MCU, placing the computer to sleep, waking it up, shutting it down, doing a hard shutdown (holding down the power button on the laptop itself)   Shutting down the computer, unplugging everything, unplugging the power cords. I have TRIED EVERYTHING..... and for whatever reason the green light next to the built in webcam on my Thunderbolt 27" monitor connected to my MacbookPro (I've always had the laptop lid closed) the light stays on......
I beg anyone who has had this problem, please respond and help.    Also, FYI   I have NOT downloaded any new software or uninstalled anything... I work from home and this is my WORK PC. The only thing I tired doing when this started happening was join a google hangout.... and that's when it started
since then, I have uninstalled google chrome from my mac and also uninstalled the googlevoiceandtalk   application using a script from google that I ran in the Terminal with SUDO.
I'm a owner of a Macbook Pro 15-Inch, Mid 2012 with OS X Mavericks Ver 10.9.1

My Battery had a meltdown in my Macbook pro last summer. I was fortunate enough that I removed it before any real damage was done to my computer, however I'm not sure of the correct model of my computer or where to find the correct battery for it. I want to be sure I don't buy the wrong replacement for it. Do all the Macbook pro's use the same battery from 2008 til now??? Please help!!!!!!! I'm tired of always having to be plugged in...lol
THANKS!!!!

Can I use Mac Mini as a "server" for a MacBook Pro and iMac?

I want to develop a simple system for accessing my files from multiple devices.
I heavily use iTunes (190 GB), iPhoto (120 GB) and iMovie (30 GB, but want to do more when I get time). Additionally, I store lots of old videos on circa 10 portable hard drives (1 TB each), which I access occasionally.
The family use all this content and we currently have a MacBook Pro and are considering buying a new computer - either a new MacBook Pro or an iMac. We also have iPads, iPhones etc and a Time Capsule. We use wireless fibre optic broadband.
I don't really want multiple iTunes and iPhoto libraries. We want all our music and pictures in single master libraries that we can all access and update.
As there is seemingly too much data to store on iCloud, we need to find an alternative solution.
My possible solution is:
(1) Load my master iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie libraries ("iTPM libs") on a Mac mini
(2) Buy a new MacBook Pro or iMac (probably doesnt matter which)
(3) Link the MacBook Pro(s) and iMac to the Mac mini to access iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie and the master iTPM libs
(4) Plug the portable hard drives into the Mac mini whenever I need to access the video content stored on the portable hard drives
(5) Add "users" to the system (i.e. family members), in the same way you would access a shared server at work
(6) Over time, buy more computers to access the system in the same way
My questions are:
(1) Is this system feasible?
(2) If so, can I edit the iTPM libs from the MacBook Pro or iMac?
(3) If so, what happens if both the MacBook Pro and iMac are accessing the libraries at the same time? Which takes precedent?
(4) Would this solution be significantly slower than having separate libraries on the different computers?
(5) Is there an alternative approach that might work better for my needs? (which are, after all, relatively straight forward). When I went to the Apple store they were unsure!
Many thanks.

[…] We want all our music and pictures in single master libraries that we can all access and update.
The "update" portion of this is where your problems will arise. You'd be better to consider your proposed system initially in terms of content "consumption", before getting into the nitty-gritty of editing shared content.
iTunes has the Home Sharing feature built-in, which solves the content consumption issue.
I don't know anything about sharing iPhoto libraries, but this KB article looks useful.
As for iMovie, I think there are two things you want to do: share the raw data (sound effects, music, photos etc.) that are used to create iMovie content; and share the finished results. Is that right? I'm not sure how you'd go about doing that, but if you clarify your aims in this regard, it'll help the next person who comes along.
When it comes to updating content, such as adding new music to iTunes or iPhoto, I'd suggest you do it through the Mac mini directly. This seems the least problematic solution. You wouldn't necessarily need a dedicated display for the Mac mini - you could use remote desktop or VNC or what-have-you.
As for speed: doing anything across a network is always going to be slower than doing it locally. But, it probably won't matter for content consumption (though if you're all watching different movies at the same time the drives on the server may struggle, and the wifi bandwidth might be tight).
I hope this represents a good initial response to your query.

Where can I get some feet for my 15" Macbook Pro (mid 2009) without the cost of A$200

I am loosing my mind. Can anuone please help?
I have a 15" mid 2009 Macbook Pro, that I love. It is my 6th Apple computer so it's not like I haven't contributed to the Apple estate.
I use it for work and study so it pretty much runns continuously and has since its purchase in 2009. So, as you can imagine wear and tear are starting to show.
3 of the 4 feet have come off and this is making me crazy. It does not ventilate properly and doesn't sit well on the desk. I have attempted to buy all manner of feet to fit it, but nothing works.
So, I took it to my local Apple store a while ago in search of some replacement feet for it. Because, Apple have to inspect all repair jobs.
I cannot buy, the feet alone, I must buy the complete bottom housing for it at the cost of A$199.00 (WHAT!!!, I HEAR YOU SAY!!!, and that is pretty much exactly what I said when I was told this by my apple genius (and yes, I did say Genius with a sarcastic tone), but certainly the thoughts that ran through my mind were far stronger).
So, in my eternal search to make my perfectly working but incredibly annoying, beloved macbook pro be as good as ever, I have been to 2 "apple" dealers in the hope to buy this product at a cheaper price. Because, 1. I don't want the base, only the feet and 2. I don't want to pay 200 bucks for it.
Anyway. the first purchase I made was through some dodgy chinese website. Apparently, there is no one at the other end, because all corespondense was ignored. But I did get my money back.
But the second has really done my head in. www.applecomponents.com had advertised the part at $US69. So, I purchased and paid with paypal and all was well with the world. But, This morning I recieved the following email. And this is the entirity of the message from a business with obviously no customer service skill, not address, no phone number. Just a rude individual at the end of the email.
Remember, this was the whole email...
"so it's looking like this part was in the wrong bin. we don't actually have one. we can get new, but it would cost around $150.
please advise?"
***? (and I am really holding back bolding that text and setting the font size to 68).
In Australia, if a product is advertised at a price, that is what we pay for it.
So, I re-check the website and the price has increase $100 but, it still says "in stock".
Right about now, I am starting to get quite frustrated, with this faceless nameless person/company/shonk.
I get in touch with some consumer experts and reply and I recieve the following reponse...
"it was an honest mistake. we have a lot parts. we haven't sold one of these bottom cases for over 6 months. whoever labeled em' did it wrong. I don't have the part, but I have access to ordering it new with my vendor - hence the price change.
feel free to call me anytime and we can talk it out.
thanks
phillip
503-806-6423"
(not really sure where this phone number resides so the 10 digits are useless)
Now, Phillip is not the person I made the payment to. The payment was made to Alex Kraft.
Who, After I demanded the product. Has just refunded my money and dissapeard off the planet.
I am sick and tired of these shonks and it is now my mission to stop these people from trading.
Sorry for my digression but, I feel, all should be aware of these people. Scammers.
But, if anyone knows where I can get some feet from someone who will bloddy supply them at a price that is reasonable.
Please let me know.
Thanks

your situation is not new. Others have been told by Apple that they have to purchase the entire bottom panel in order to replace the feet. There are engineering solutions that can solve this problem, but to pay nearly $200 to replace a part that costs less than $1 (I am being very, very conservative) to manufacture is too excessive.
I have had the feet come off as well. Fortunately for me, I have not lost them and have been able to replace them. Why they cannot sell them individually is a puzzle to me. Perhaps some bean counter at Apple feels its too much effort to have these items individually in their inventory. I have had nothing but good comments to say about Apple, but sadly this is an exception.
To address your problem, I have seen second hand ones advertised on Ebay. The price was a bit steep, $10 as I remember. Other wise, wjosten's suggestion is the only alternative.
Ciao
