Blurred flickering screen in Macbook Pro Mac OSX lion 10.7.4 did hardware test no fault any solution
I am getting blurred flickering pinkish display in Macbook Pro. Hardware test found to be OK.
Honestly I would never run both Win 7 & XP at the same time in a VM. 7 needs at least 4GB to run properly and uses more resources then XP.
I personally use VMware Fusion and XP. At this time there is no software, that I'm aware of or use, that does not run on XP. So for my Mac Win VM purpose I only run XP with the software in need to use in Windows. This work very well for me. I have 2 CPUs and 3GBs of RAM assigned to XP. Leaving the other 2 CPU cores, 4 HT cores, and 5GBs of RAM for OS X.
Not sure why you need, or want, to run both versions of Windows at the same time. I don't see the need as stated above.

ITunes won't open after update; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5
iTunes won't open after update - help, please; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5.
i had a problem similar to yours and better yet, i have the fix for it. i downloaded maverick 4 months ago and was without itunes ever since. all itunes icon did was bounce. itunes would never open and whats more, is when i would try to update it, i would get a "thank you for downloading itunes!" page , but the download would never work. so i scoured the net for solves. nothing that worked. <4 months later> then last night i took a new approach. i decided even though maverick would not allow me to uninstall itunes, i would find a way to uninstall itunes. then i would reinstall back to 11.1.5 i was successful and heres what i did.
step one-
Back up your iTunes Library.itl file, found under ~/Music/iTunes
(even tho i didnt, i only had 3 artists in there at the time. and they didnt get erased but i advise you back up just in case.)
step two-
download itunes 10.7 from apple. i used this link Download it from Apple here
(i pulled the link from Aarons website (awesometast.com). you download 10.7 however you want but i used the link above and have had no issues).
although im not sure you need to do this step ( you may be able to download 11.1.5 itunes without 10.7, i did because i was following intructions from http://awesometoast.com/downgrading-to-itunes-10-7-from-itunes-11-on-osx/
step 3-
open Terminal
step 4-
enter in these 3 commands hitting return after each line. 1st line nothing seems to happen, 2nd line nothing seems to happen and 3rd line gives you a warning and requires password to continue. when i did it, my password didnt appear as i entered it and i hit return without looking, so i entered it in again, although im not sure i had to the 2nd time.
killall iTunes
killall "iTunes Helper"
sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
step 5-
drag off and dump the itunes icon (which now has the ? shadow in it) off your dock.
step 6-
install 10.7 itunes you downloaded earlier. (not sure if this part is neccesary. you may be able to just download 11.1.5 but i downloaded 10.7 because i was following Aarons steps.) itunes now works.
step 7-
go to apple and update to 11.1.5 itunes. install it. open it and you have itunes 11.1.5 in perfect working order. assuming you have a decent internet speed for the downloads, the whole process takes very little time.
with those steps above, you can solve itunes just bouncing and not launching issues and also the "thank you for downloading" and nothing downloads issue. enjoy. also i would like to give a shout out to http://awesometoast.com and thank Aaron for the knowledge that enabled me to get itunes back into my life. -
Have a macbook pro running osx lion. Connected a Kindle Fire using micro usb and the disk icon doesn't show up on the desktop. Also sometimes get a message sayiing computer doesn't recognize device. When I opened disk utilities the Kindle disk does show up there. What am I missing?

Kindle is connected directly, not thru a hub. Also called Amazon Kindle support, tech was baffled when I told her I was using a Mac. She said, "I'm not really familiar with apple products."
Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much. An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

Dear all, I have just bought a MacBook pro with osx lion on 25th last month. I wanted to know if I can use the methods described above to update to osx mountain lion or I have to buy osx mountain lion from the app store?

when printing from aperture my margins are unequal, even if i set my margins they come out bigger one side and not the other. i am using a macbook pro running osx lion and printing with a canon pro 9000.
please can anbody help or advise?You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:

MacBook Pro 17" suddenly shuts down, connected to power, hardware test normal

Doesn't sound good. A negative hardware test doesn't really mean much. Try this:

HP psc 1315 not detected as scanner on MacBook Pro Mac OSX 10.8.2
I just got a new MacBook Pro in September. I have the newest Software update Mac OS X Version 10.8.2, and I am attempting to scan from my hp psc 1315 all-in-one printer-scanner-copier to this computer. I am using the USB connector that came stock with the hp device. Initially, I tried just pressing the blue "Scan" button on the scanner, nothing more than a flashing On/Resume light occurred. I tried searching for drivers, but discovered that supposedly none should be needed, therefore none are available. I searched hp's forums and support with no luck, and even called 1-800-MyApple which referred me back to hp, rightfully, and sent me an e-mail with recommended articles, which proved unhelpful.
I have tried all three methods of accessing the device to scan recommended by hp troubleshooting: System Preferences>Print & Scan, Applications>Image Capture, and Applications>Preview>File>Import from Scanner.
System Preferences>Print & Scan: In tutorials I have reviewed, when you select the printer in this menu, you should see a "Scan" button on the top-right, but I don't
Applications>Image Capture: "No camera or scanner is connected" appears on the screen when I open this program.
Applications>Preview>File>Import from Scanner: The "Import from Scanner..." option appears grey and cannot be selected.
In one of the forums I consulted, someone had recommended using a third-party app called VueScan, and while it worked just fine, it will either watermark your scans all over or ask you to purchase the full version.
(This application was not available in the app store, but I downloaded it from http://www.hamrick.com).
While I appreciate that the program exists, I find it absurd that I have not come across a better option than paying $39.95 to use a scanner that I already own with a computer that I already own.
I should add that the hp psc 1315 is fully operational as a printer with from my MacBook Pro, and as a copier in general. I just need to scan some documents, and am currently very frustrated. Any help would be much appreciated.Hi,
I afraid that your printer is too old and no longer fully supported.
As you may find listed below already since Mac OS X 10.5 scan is no longer supported for your product:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01234231&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=3745...
I afraid your only options are using a 3rd party solution as Vuescan or replacing your device.

How can I download Microsoft office excel for my MacBook Pro for free?
You can't. Excel is a commercial product sold by Microsoft in an Office "package" and not as a stand-alone product.
If you need to be able to open and save Excel documents on your Mac, however, you could try the free LibreOffice.

New Macbook Pro (free OSX LION update)
Hi,
i bought a macbook pro today and i would like the free OSX LION update but i cannot log in to download because i can't change the country from U.S to Greece where i live...?
Is the free update only for US customers?I tried that and it still does the same thing :/
in this case does that mean I have to go out and buy one of these adapters?

for some reason my MBP and my iPad do not work with a Canon LV-7390 projector in the conference room at my office.
they work every other place but in this projector (the most important). any ideasHi glraczon.support,
It sounds like the external display you are using (projector) operates at a smaller resolution than your MacBook Pro. You may want to configure the display preferences in System Preferences for the external projector.
Here is an article that may help you with that process:

I've been trying to make calls to other FaceTime users (on iPhones and Macs) via my Macbook Pro.
On my side FaceTime continues ringing. However, on the other side, when the person has picked up the call, FaceTime would show 'connecting' for around a minute or so and then 'connection lost'. Meanwhile, FaceTime would still continue ringing and would only show 'unable to facetime' after 2 minutes or more.
My FaceTime version is Version 1.1.1 (309).
Macbook Pro 10.7.5
Wondering if anyone has the same issues.
Or does anyone have the solutions??Yes. I'm having the same problem with the same FaceTime version and Macbook Pro OS10.7.5 as well as the iPod Touch 4th generation.
Another thing is that since updating the OS, Skype on Facebook does not receive the image without freezing or having blinking horizontal lines running through it.
