Can I use a 15" MBP as keyboard and screen to work on bootable drive MBP 17

Hi, all,
I already asked this question in a post with other questions more prominant so I am trying this as a solo question. I have a MBP 17" intel Core Duo that will be going in for repairs. I have an OWC 1 TB drive formated to be bootable. Can I boot from the external HD from a 15" MBP Core Duo and use it essentially as a keyboard and screen and work on the 17" files with all the software or can I only transfer files to the 15"? The 17" has Leopard and Adobe CS3 (which I cannot do without) the 15" runs Tiger and I run CS2 on it.
Thanks!

  • Can't use Filevault 2 with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

    Am I the only one who can't get File Vault 2 to work with a wireless keyboard and mouse? It seems that the "Recovery Partition" of Lion which you have to log into in order to enable File Vault 2 doesn't support BlueTooth devices so it's impossible to log in and start the encryption process. And after using a USB keyboard to do the encryption, I now can't log onto the encrypted disk for the same reason.
    I can't believe that nobody else has noticed this, so what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    I have exactly the same problem; I have an original Apple Wireless keyboard (the older, full-size white and clear plastic keyboard), and a Logitech MX-Revolution mouse, both work just fine using the recovery partition, but don't respond at all for the FileVault login prompt.
    The mouse just doesn't do anything, and if others are getting USB devices to work then my mouse should work since it has its own wireless receiver, masquerading as a USB device, but it's just frozen in place. Meanwhile my keyboard appears to connect normally, but the login screen is completely unresponsive, pressing caps-lock doesn't cause the caps-lock button to light up, even though I know the keyboard works just fine.
    Considering the push for more wireless by default it seems odd that this problem exists, especially when my devices all work perfectly fine for selecting start-up disk, starting up from CD and so-on. Does anyone have a more concrete fix for this? FileVault 2 was one of the features I was really looking forward to but I can't even properly enable it, I'm just fortunate that Lion at least stops the process if you don't log-in successfully the first time.
    As a side note; is the same pre-boot login required if you enable FileVault encryption on a non start-up volume? If not, at what point does the volume become available? I'm hoping to separate my OS and user folders onto my SSD and regular HDs respectively, but if I enable FileVault for my HDs only, will I still need the pre-boot login?

    Hi! Removing a component with the laptop on may well have fried it. You can try a pmu reset found HERE but if that doesn't fix it you may be screwed. Tom

  • I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a monitor and keyboard for the Mac mini, either through the USB connection or thru Wi-Fi?

    I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a keyboard and screen for the Mac mini, using either the USB connector or Wi-Fi?

    I'm sorry, I should have said thru Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi.  I want to use the mini as a base station and the iPad like a laptop that I can sync when I'm home and carry with me when I travel.  Is is possible to hook these 2 up - iPad/mini, through Bluetooth?  I understand I need to use a regular monitor/keyboard/mouse on the initial install.

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

    Yes. you have to set up the Midi, pslit it up between the applications. e.g. channels 1-8 to app 1, and channels 9-16 to app 2.
    Then select the channels according to what application you want to play.

    Mirror, if your MBP is early 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or newer.  If older visit www.airparrot.com, a third party app that works OK, mixed reviews but mine works well.

    Then it's time for a new keyboard.  If you are still under warranty, call AppleCare.

    Macs will read Windows-formatted iPods, no problem.
    However, Windows PCs won't ready Mac-formatted iPods without extra software, such as xPlay (www.mediafour.com/products/xplay/). So if you want to continue to use the Mac as your iPod's 'home base' you'll need this extra software to use the iPod on both platforms.
