  • Ok so I have a free standing iSight Cam, is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ? and if so how do I go about it ? I've tried researching for updates, drives but need help.

    Ok so I have a free standing iSight Cam, is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ? and if so how do I go about it ? I've tried researching for updates, drives but need help. Can someone give me some direction ?

    OK so yes, but if, and only if:
    (1) your MacBook has a Firewire port (not all do)
        - and -
    (2) your old external iSight camera works (not all do)
        - and -
    (3) your MacBook is working properly.
    If you are not certain whether your MacBook model has Firewire, you can search MacBook Technical Specifications for your model.  Alternatively, check the  User Guide Manual that came with your MacBook for the information you need to be certain.
    If you are not certain that your old external iSight camera works, you can test it using the suggestions in this link.
    jpatricio787 wrote: ... if so how do I go about it ? ...
    Follow the instructions in your iSight User's Guide to connect and turn on the iSight.  Then launch the Apple app you want to use with your iSight.  If you need more information about using an app, search for "camera" (without the quote marks) in the Help menu choice for the app.

    If you need more direction, post back the specifics of what you still need.  We will offer further direction based on the details of your reply.

  • I wanted to buy a macbook but im concerned about the...

    i wanted to buy a macbook but im concerned about dead or stuck pixels, now i do music production and a lil bit of photography and i need a really clean display, ive had dead pixels and stuck pixels, in my past monitors and i just dont want to be running up and down trying to find a good macbook with a good display

    And, what do you propose we can do to help you? Bad pixels in displays is a manufacturing problem. Testing a display is the only way to assure it doesn't have bad pixels. "Running up and down ... to find a ... good display" is the only solution. It’s not something with which we can help you.
    In the future if you have a question or problem, then please post it as such.

  • MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing wirelessly to XP shared printer

    MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing to XP shared printer
    Bear with me please. I read tons of articles on this but somehow as a newbie to MAC (girlfriends sick daughter), I am missing something. 10.5.2
    Currently, she can print directly if we plug in the HP Deskjet printer directly via USB to the MACBook. No problem.
    When we first got the MACBOOK I tried setting up the MACBOOK wirelessly to recognize the workgroup where the printer was attached via USB to the Windows XP PC. However it printed out garbage since I did not know there was a difference between XP printing and MAC (Gutenberg/gimp printing/drivers).
    Now I know there is a difference.
    But in reading various instructions, I no longer can find how to connect the MAC to the Windows workgroup. Note we do have a printer set up currently as USB-HP Deskjet on the Macbook (not sure I need to delete it yet).
    I went to System Preferences on MACBOOK and clicked on printers, more printers. In the drop down box was CANON, APPLETALK, IP HP printing and Firewire. There was no WINDOWS selection as I saw in other online web instructions.
    So not sure how to proceed to find a way to:
    1. Connect to Windows workgroup (click on what exactly), step by step please!!
    2. Add correct HP Deskjet 5490 printer (perhaps there is one with Gutenberg or perhaps I need Gutenprint-really not sure what I am talking about)
    Thanks so much in advance. Fiancé's kid has had her cancer recur in a different place and someone was nice enough to buy her a MACBOOK as a gift.
    Sincerely
    Peter

    OK...I figured it out...no need to reply.  I noticed that there was another Protocol to use to set up the printer on the Mac, I was using LPD, so I switched it to HP Jet Direct-socket, and it prints fine...thanks.  I am curious as to why LPD wouldn't work; if anyone has that answer I would like to know...thanks
    Any chance of posting the Protocol you used to connect to your printer with your laptop?  I'm have the exact same problem printing from my MB.  Same error message "..is busy".

  • In Hongkong. I want to buy new iMac, But need to sell old one first. Where is good for sell??

    Please help me.
    Please give me a suggestion.
    I want to buy new iMac, but need to sell old one.
    About following the info.
    How much can sell and where is good for sell?
    Processor  2.93 GHz Intel Core i7
    Total Number of Cores:          4
    Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
    Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
    1TB harddisk
    Warranty to 02/Aug/2013
    Thank you for your help.

    When you sell your iMac, please remember that if you bought Mountain Lion upgrade at the app store, the license is not transferable and you need to erase the drive and reinstall the original system (which was most likely Snow Leopard?). If you don't do that, the buyer can never reinstall Mountain Lion because the license is tied to your Apple ID forever.

  • Purchasing MBA but need help on upgrades.

    Hello, I am purchasing an MBA, but need help on upgrades based on the following; I will be attending medical school in the fall, I take a wide range of photos of my family on my iPhone that I play with on certain apps and do store them in the cloud and computer, I have a medium iTunes libaray but will get bigger with the additional apps for school, I am a moderate gamer (I play games online as well as my kids do, but nothing that will take up a ton of space when downloaded like Assassins Creed) and I plan on running MS Office. I've already decided to upgrade to the 8GB but I can't decide if I should upgrade to the 512GB Flash or stay with the 256GB and upgrade from the i5 to i7 or stick with it. I don't plan on buying another until I graduate. I am new to the Mac World outside of the use of my iPhone which convience me to convert from my awful PC. Can you MBA experts relay some advice on a good route. I appreciate it, Thanks

    My rule of thumb is to buy the largest drive storage available. Especially since the Air models can't be upgraded to a larger size in the future. I also like to buy the most amount of RAM offer and as with the storage space on the Air models can't be upgraded once purchased. So Bite the Bullet and spend the money to get both the most RAM and the largest storage offered as neither can be increased later on.  Also I suggest you spend the extra money on the Applecare extended warranty because to fix any Mac once the standard warranty is over is very expensive. You have until the one year standard warranty runs out to buy the Applecare extended warranty.

    Firstly, please turn off your Caps lock. It is considered shouting in forums.
    Secondly, please explain your exact issue and wheteher or not you can see your purchase in the App Store and if you are using the same Apple ID to reinstall it with as you used to purcase it with.
    Thanks

  • I am un able to send mail as it gets stuck in my outbox. I am sure the solution is simple but need help?

    I am un able to send mail as it gets stuck in my outbox. This is a recent phenomena. I am sure the solution is simple but need help?

    I looked everywhere for a solution - and I finally figured it out! Deleting my accounts didn't work, but here is what worked. This worked when my Gmail accounts were not sending properly. I'm not sure if it works for other e-mail services.
    1. While in Mac Mail, click "Mail" in the top left corner of the screen
    2. Click "Preferences"
    3. Click "Accounts"
    4. Select your account that isn't sending properly
    5. In "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" there will be two options - Gmail & Gmail (offline)
    Make sure that "Gmail" is selected and NOT "Gmail (offline)"
    If you navigate to another section in Preferences, it will ask you to SAVE - make sure you save your changes!
    It worked for me, hope it works for you!

  • All of my photos are displayed as BW because somehow I've saved a quick develop preset and it saves as BW.  This is for all of my photos.  I can individually undo them but need help in how to get rid of the preset so it goes to Default. thanks

    All of my photos are displayed as BW because somehow I've saved a quick develop preset and it saves as BW.  This is for all of my photos.  I can individually undo them but need help in how to get rid of the preset so all photos goes to Default or as shot. thanks

    Go to the develop module and highlight all of the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen. Then activate Auto-sync and click on the Reset button. That should reset all of the images to your camera default settings.

  • Getting a new iMac - overwhelmed w info here but need help

    Hi,
    I'm getting a new iMac next week and need help with Blackberry Bold 9000 issues and syncing with iCal, etc on the machine.  I have been told that I can buy an app for about $30 that will sync the BB with the mac programs but reading here, I am confused - are some of the posts here and the KB notes related to syncing directly with the mac software or are they only for making a separate BB desktop for the mac?
    I have looked at several of the KB notes but I haven't found the answer yet.
    thanks.

    What’s the difference between:
    8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x2GB http://Add $200.00...
    (from 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB)
    and
    8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB http://Add $600.00
    4GB DIMMs are at present significantly more expensive than 2GB DIMMs. It's your choice whether to pay the extra money and have empty slots available for additional future memory expansion (without removing any existing memory).
    I presume 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel i7 is bigger, or more powerful than the 3.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo of the 21.5” iMac model. Correct?
    Generally yes. You can see benchmarks on places like Barefeats if you want to see comparison numbers.
    it appears the CD/DVD problem thing is not evident in the 27” model as it at least was in the 21.5” model. Right?
    I can't add anything to what I said on the subject previously.
    cracked screens upon opening the box of the new computer, were much more of a problem for the bigger, 27” models that the 21.5” models. Hopefully, Apple has taken care of that by packaging them more carefully.
    I haven't seen a report of any cracked screens in several weeks now. But with the gorillas the shipping companies tend to use, there are no guarantees. I once received a pallet-load of computers that the trucking company had driven a forklift blade through. So you never know how your computer might arrive. The prevalence of problems seems to have been alleviated, though.
    Regards.

  • Lots of questions before buying a macbook pro..help please!!

    So I am about to buy a macbook pro in the next couple of days with these specifications:
    MacBook Pro, 15-inch
    Part Number: Z0EZ
    Backlit Keyboard/Mac OS - U.S. English
    Accessory Kit
    2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
    MacBook Pro 15-inch Widescreen Display
    200GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
    2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    SuperDrive 8X (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
    After I get the computer I am going to upgrade to 4 GB myself (cheaper). This computer will primarily be used for video editing (I'm off to film school). Here come the questions!!
    1. This is probably a really stupid question, but the 15 inch macbook pro has an isight right?
    2. I am in need of an external hard drive (or two). I was thinking of getting 1 TB primarily for my video projects, and then another 250 GB hard drive for time machine. Are two external hard drives going to be too much for the computer to handle? What hard drive(s) do you recommend? Right now I am thinking a G-Tech 1.0TB Quad-interface hard drive and a 250 GB G-Tech hard drive (for time machine). Which leads to my next question.
    3. I would love to use eSATA with my TB hard drive...but there aren't eSATA ports included on the macbook pro (I think). So i researched and found the 2-Port NitroAV eSATA II 3Gb/s Professional Express Card (34mm). This would work with the computer right? Is eSATA necessary or should I just stick with firewire? I'm attracted to it because I will be editing video with the computer and I would love the increased speeds but I'm afraid it will overwhelm the computer.
    Okay I think that's it! Any input will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    1-yes
    2-look at macsales.com, click on harddrives then all things fire wire. they have a lot of different drives ranging all the way up to a 2 tb setup (its 2 separate stripped raid set ups that are then mirrored against each other). they also sell some esata dives, not sure what size they go to but they hae them
    fire wire 400 has some crazy top limit of drives you can chain together of like 40some odd so 2 will be fine, i have 2 running right now and no issues. i would suggest if you get the drives form OWC (macsales) you use the softraid program that comes with it.
    3- you can get a pci card for the card slot which macsales also sells if you go though them so you dont have to go more than one place

  • Looking to buy a MacBook, but I have some questions.

    Hey, i'm looking to buy a Macbook for school, but I want to know if I can buy a Macbook without the hard drive or ram. I have a compatable hard drive and ram already, and my dad has a family license for Tiger.
    So... can I buy a Macbook without the RAM/HD/OS? (I can't seem to find an option for that in the store).
    Thanks,
    MIkeB

    Thanks RadE8! My dad bought a MacBook Pro, but then upgraded the HD and the RAM, so i was hoping that I could use the stuff that came with it... Ah well.
    Thanks again,
    MIkeB
