AppleTV with Airdisk and Macbook Pro

Most posts i find on here are people talking about things not working..
I just want people to know that if put ur itunes library on an airdisk it will work great....
My setup is a macbook pro with atv and airport extreme n and a 500gb WD My book
its working great

Is that the MyBook premium with RAID?
I want the same configuration as you have, but usinbg a RAID 1 system so I won't have to backup as frequently anymore. (only for cases when the HD gets stolen or anything.
I am still waiting to see a confirmation of that working.
I almost cannot hold my wallet though.

Airport extreme loses internet connection all the time with imac and macbook pro

I keep losing the internet connection with airport extreme on my imac and macbook pro but NOT with my pc

Ok, so when you say you lose internet connection, is it disconnecting from your wireless network so there are no bars?
And are there usually full bars?

Syncing purchased music with iPone and Macbook Pro

Already asked this question in another forum, with no responses. Ok, I have been having problems for a while with syncing music on my iPhone 5 and my Macbook Pro. It all started when I turned on iTunes Match about 2 years ago. I quickly realized it wasn't something I wanted or needed. I spend a lot of time traveling in rural areas with not the best cell service so it wasn't going to work for me. I am one of those people who doesn't want to spend a lot of time thinking about my technology, I just want to put the music on my phone that I want.
Anyway, I downloaded an album through the iTunes Store on my phone which worked fine. A while later my 32GB phone was running out of memory so I just cleared all of the music off of it and started from scratch. For some reason that ONE ALBUM will not go on my phone. If I go into the settings on my iPhone and into the Music and turn on "Show All Music" I can see it on my phone but it won't let me download it because it says my iTunes match subscription is expired. The album appears in my library on my Mac but when I plug my phone into my Mac and attempt to add it, the album doesn't even show up as available to be added. I tried making a playlist and adding the album to it but the songs don't appear on my phone when I add the playlist through iTunes on my Mac. I'm running iTunes 11.3.1 (2). Ever since they overhauled iTunes a while back I've been lost in the sauce. Any suggestions from the more tech savvy people out there?

The underlying issue here is that you have chosen to use POP3 rather than IMAP mail accounts. Only IMAP mailboxes are 'synchronized' by default: it is virtually impossible to synchronize POP3 mailbox content.
For a discussion of POP3, IMAP and mail synchronization options, take a look at the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum located here.

WEP working with Windows and Macbook Pro - NOT with G4 laptop

In order to get a Windows laptop connected to my home network, I changed over to WEP Encryption and have gotten the Windows laptop, my Macbook Pro, and another Powerbook G4 to connect - however, when I try to connect the other remaining G4 laptop, a 400mhz PowerPC running an Airport card with firmware v.9.52 doesn't give me the pulldown option for WEP (only WPA) and I am, therefore, unable to input the password that is working on my other computers.
Thoughts? Solutions?
Thanks.

Hi Don,
Thanks for your response. The articles were informative, but here's what's odd about my situation:
I understand passwords, etc. I've been running WPA/WPA2 encryption on my all-Apple Network. It worked great. When I brought home the WindowsXP laptop, I changed the network over to WEP and not only did the Windows laptop get signal, but 2 of my 3 Macs did as well. When I started up the "upstairs" G4 Powerbook and sought out my network the Airport Internet Connect did not give me a WEP option in the pulldown menu, so I was unable to log in. All I really need to do is determine how to get the older G4 Powerbook to see WEP where it only sees WPA. (Ultimately, I switched back so my wife could use her computer. It may just be easier for me to try to configure the Windows Laptop to a WPA/WPA2 network.
Thanks again for your thoughts on this.

Aperture 3.1.2 workflow with iMac and MacBook Pro

Could someone please point me to an article that explains how to have the same library on both machines, while keeping the masters on my iMac? I'd like to use my MacBook Pro in the field and sync or copy images to my Aperture library on my iMac once home. Thanks in advance for your help!

One solution: make a temporary Library on the laptop and then later Merge that Library into the iMac Library. Best is probably to make new temporary Library each time you do this, as issues have been known to present themselves if one makes the process too sophisticated. Aperture is a single-user application.
There are other solutions as well, all work-arounds until Aperture is built to do exactly what you ask. Many of us have been asking since v1.
Good luck!

AppleTV (6-11) and Macbook Pro. Will it work?- Airplay

I just got an Apple TV.
Can I play stuff on my MacBook Pro through the Apple TV? (Airplay)
Or just via iTunes?
I didn't see any quick way to do it, but say some third party application to do it?
Do I need to buy something else?
thanks
mark

Airplay only via iTunes officially.
RogueAmoeba had an app to send audio using Airtunes, but I'm not sure if they've updated to harness video airplay.

Whats the best Audio Interface to use with Logic and MacBook Pro?

I currently own a Line 6 Pod X3 Pro and although its much better than the Eleven Rack (what an overrated piece of junk in a pretty candy coating, more fizz than club soda and still no balls. Some say it just needs a cheap overdrive box to do the trick. I say how can it possibly be worth a Grand if a cheap added piece of equiptment is needed to improve the sound?) It's still not exactly top notch, to say the least.
     I was really considering the SSL (Solid State Logic) XLogic Alpha-Link MADI, a 24 channel high-end AD/DA Converter. It's somewhat pricy, but you can't possibly find a bigger bang for your buck, however I don't really need that many channels. I'm really going for quality over quantity, but I'll pay for the extra inputs if there's no way around getting top of the line otherwise.

Thanks but I already figured it out, or rather B&H did for me. Firstly, to use the SSL with a DAW you'll need to use the Extreme "PCIe card" which neither notebooks or iMacs accomodate. So unless I want to dish out an additional $1,500 for an RME laptop interface (with built in PCIe card) for this interface i'm shoot out of luck, boo! I was really looking foreward to that set up.
    However, to answer my own question (and save a couple hundred bucks) you simply can't beat Apogee's Ensemble, which is built specifically for Mac. Much simpler - no drivers needed, and I actually understand the specs, 16 channels, and 4 of which even have transparent mic preamps. And its only $200 more than the Rosetta (only 2 channels, and nothing but converters - no preamps).
     The main thing I also wanted was to have as least components as possible going into Logic. I already passed my "gear collecting phase," and the more I added the worst it sounded. I was already forewarned of such results, but when your a newbe like I was I guess you have to find out for yourself. So I'll be getting rid of my Line 6 POD X3 Pro; dbx 1066; Presonus Eureka; Aphex 204; and 8821 Sonic Maximizer ( I already got rid of the 11-Rack, good riddence!
   And replacing them all with an Avalon 737 - anything that sounds that good over YouTube has gotta kill - and the guy from B&H said "thats one SWEET set up!" Of course every body knows Apogee and Avalon are no brainers (if you've got the patience to save up for the good stuff) but I'm more of a best kept secret type of guy (or try to be) however this time I don't mind conforming. Taylored quality and simplicity...Perfect...what more can a guy (or girl) ask for (now if I can only get my hands on some Vienna Symphonic Orchestra Software to pick up the slack where Logic is lacking.)
    I just want to stop with the learning every new gadget nonesense already and get back to being a musician again.
PS How do I switch this topic to the Logic forum? I'm sure it will be more helpful to others there.

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
"Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

Can I connect and use a Dell projection unit..several years old...with my new Macbook Pro? do i just need an adaptor for the multi-pin plug?

I would like to use my old Dell projection unit with my new Macbook Pro laptop, but obviously there is no such plug in the Macbook. Is there an adaptor I can connect and make it work? Without the old "F" keys, how do I get the Macbook to provide output to the projection unit? I don't see an icon on a button anywhere?
Thanks for any help... trying to become a good Apple user.

You have to determine what connection options are available on the projector. You probably will need a Mini-displayport (Thunderbolt) adapter. that can accommodate the projector.

Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.

Hi,
I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
Thanks
Tauheed Ahmad

Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and 3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
Thanks
Tauheed

Is there a compatibility issue with the Current USB 3 external Hard drives and MacBook Pro 2011 (USB 2)?

I am currently having bad hangs with my 13" MacBook Pro (2011) which I book 2012 ad a New external Harddrive (WD My Passport Edge) which was given to me as a gift.
Friends of mine told me there is a compatibility issue between the USB 3 cord and the USB outlet of my MacBook Pro.
Although this shouldnt be the case as the box of the Hard drive I got said it was compatible.
I even downloaded the WD Drive Utilities and sometimes whenthe Harddrive is plugged in the Utilities doean't Open but just bleeps in the Applications Dock.
Before I used the Harddrive I read a lot from the WD Manual and went to their site and downloaded a firmware update so I really don't know what the problem is.
What I am afraid of is that I may lose some files if I place them in the external Harddrive.
Can anyone help me with this or should I be asking for a replacement harddrive?
This is my first experience with an external hard drive as I never used one before.
Thank you very much.

To be honest, I've had back luck with Western Digital drives and I avoid them at all costs. If I were you, I would return the WD drive and look at externals from OWC or MacMall (LaCie, even G-Tech).
That's just my personal opinion, mind you...

I would like to set up a homegroup with a new Macbook Pro and 2 Windows PCs. The PCs are wired to an Airport Time Machine and the Mac is wireless. All computers have internet through the Airport Time Machine.
