Can I mirror one desktop to the tv and have a different desktop running on the mac book?

All i want to do, is to be able to play a movie on the apple tv through one desktop, and do other tasks on my laptop with the movie or video playing simultaneously. Is this possible in any way?

Yes you can but they can't be in full screen mode. You will have to disable mirroring in System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangements though.

    Hi...
    If you are referring to iBooks on iOS based devices, no, they cannot be read on the Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.

    when i start the mac book pro, between mac and win?

    If you want to set which OS your system boots into (provided Windows is installed using BootCamp and not a virtualization option such as Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox), just hold the "Option" key down when you turn your computer on.  Continue to hold the key down until you see the options for booting into the OS of your choice.  Just click on the arrow under the one you wish (tap to click won't work here if you have it enabled... you'll need to physically click the trackpad).  If you want to change which OS your system normally boots into, just go into System Preferences in OS X and select "Starup Disk".  Whichever OS you select here will be the OS your system will automatically boot into.

  • I put my mac pro to share with my mac desktop.  Iphoto was upgraded from 8.2.1 and I can no longer access iphoto on the mac book pro. I have tried library manager but that does not work.  Any suggestions?

    I have a mac pro which I recently made to share with my mac desktop.  iphoto was updated on the mac pro from 8.2.1 and I can no longer open iphoto.  I get an error message You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.  The only option is for me to quit.  I have tried to restore with no luck.  I tried reinstalling using my Application CD.  Help?????

    when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries

  • How can we shut off messaging on the Mac book pro?

    I have just purchased a Mac Book Pro for one of my kids. We have iPads and iPhones etc in the household. With his new laptop the messaging feature means that whenever anyone face times or messages a different family member, he also gets that on his laptop. How can we prevent this?

    Messages > Preferences > Accounts. Remove the Apple ID that he shares with your family.

    Yes. You need 2011 or later in order to mirror as it requires the newer processor. The alternative is airparrot, which does it via software.

  • How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    Page Setup, including page orientation, is done in the File menu. The setting applies to the whole document. As Peter says, you can rotate the contents of a page (not including the text layer of a word processing document).
    As an alternative, you could use Numbers, where Sheets are empty canvases onto which you may place images, charts, tables and text boxes, and where page orientation may be set for individual Sheets. The main tradeoff is that you lose many of the built-in word processing and page layout features of Pages.

    Can more than one device acess the same ITunes library?  And if so, does each device's list of songs remain separate and distinct for each device?

    No problems whatsoever. I have 3 iPhones and 3 iPod touches with different IOS connected.

    This is your husband's app, only your husband can update it. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that purchased them. No other Apple ID can update someone else's app.

  • I can see only one ringtone in the custom ringtone box.plz help

    Cap,
    This view, with the one photo big and the thumbnail strip across the top, is what happens when you double-click a photo with "Edit in: Main Window" set in the Preferences. There should be a button visible that says either Done or Return, to exit edit mode and return you to the library. If you still see only one photo, use the size slider in the lower right corner to reduce the photo size and get more thumbnails on the page.
    If, for some reason, you can't exit the edit mode, you may have a corrupt preference file. Quit iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist and move that file to the Trash. Launch iPhoto, and you should be returned to the main viewing mode. You'll have to go in the Preferences and reset them to your liking.
    Regards.

  • When I open an event I can only see one photo. The view option for dispaying thumbnails is greyed.

    When I open an event I can only see one photo. The view option for dispaying thumbnails is greyed. Iphoto '08 has worked perfectly for years. Suddenly it's balky~

    Have you tried moving the thumbnail size slider at the botton on the screen?

  • Can I say one thing? The design of 3D is too confused!!! I know the drawing 3D and this new tools in Photoshop aren't simple, it's too difficult to understand

    Can I say one thing? The design of 3D is too confused!!! I know the drawing 3D and this new tools in Photoshop aren't simple, it's too difficult to understand

    Photoshop's GUI for the 3d functionality has always been a bit of a bust. And slow, cumbersome, hard to control. Rendering quality remains a major headache (and slow as a snail crawling through mud). Texturing is a hassle, and the 3d viewport one of the worst implementations I have ever encountered.
    Which is why I have always avoided it, and I prefer 3d applications such as Blender, Cinema4d, Max, Lightwave, and so on, for quality work. The 3d functionality in Photoshop is adequate for relatively simple 3d typography, and simple shapes. But even for that type of work I avoided Photoshop.

  • Where can I find one of those silicone body covers (not hardshell) for the Mac Book Pro? And is this a good idea?

    Where can I find one of those soft silicone body covers (not hardshell) for the Mac Book Pro? And is this a good idea since Apple no longer makes them? I-phones use them now.

    Personally I use the Speck hard case on both of my MacBooks and they are the greates! Look around on Amazon and eBay and you can find them for $30-40. I wouldn't really recomend a silicon case for a macbook, but it's your preference.

  • How can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

    how can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

    What aspect of Microsoft Office? Office is a suite of programs... Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.
    You've got several potential options. Libre Office and Open Office (both googleable) are 'open source,' free, downloadable programmes that will open most MS Office programmes and perform many of the functions of MS Office. Might be an idea to have a look round for reviews (etc) first, to see if they sound like they'll match your needs.
    If you're keen to use the App Store, there's Apple's own suite of programmes: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. They're a word processor, spreadsheet programme, and presentation-type programme with similar functions to Word, Excel and Powerpoint respectively. They're pretty good for most functions, and are better integrated with Macs than MS programmes. They're excellent programmes for what they do, and relatively cheap (about £14 each?).
    But if you're heavily reliant on MS, want ALL the bells and whistles of MS, or need to regularly transfer files between MS programmes on other computers and your laptop / desktop computer, then they might not be the best of ideas. Keynote - IME - can have some difficulties in transferring formatting to Powerpoint.
    Finally, there's MS Office Mac 2011. You can't download MS Office from the App Store, but can order the CDs from most online stores (including Apple's own store). It might be worth price hunting - if you're a student, you can usually find the programmes relatively cheap (£38 at the moment on Software4Students, though you'll need to belong to an academic institution / have a UK .ac email address). Apple's own prices on MS software are unlikely to be the best prices out there (though the product will be identical).
    MS Office includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint in the basic version. The slightly more expensive version (which, I think, is the £38 one on S4S) includes Outlook. Which - IME - is far more of a nuisance than Apple's native Mail programme.
    (I should probably add - I'm an academic. I own both Apple's own programmes, and MS Office 2011. I tend to use the MS programmes more, if only because they're the ones that other people tend to use, and transferring between Apple and MS programmes is a minor inconvenience. Pages also lacks Garamond, my favourite work font. The Apple progs are, however, far more beautifully integrated, and would be MORE than good enough for most users...)
