Can I use a MacBook's Only headset port as a Microphone INPUT?
Hello Apple Community,
Can I use the Macbook Pro's only one headphone port on the left side of the machine for a Microphone INPUT as well? Is there a setting in System Preferences so that I can change it? I can't find anything.
Thank you for the help!
Hi Needa_Pickle
Unfortunately there is no native setting to do this and some third party applications can cause the system to "forget" the port and leave it redundant. It can be done however, I bootcamp into windows and work on that side due to the limitations on the mac, I find this a shame as its one of the few problems I have the mac. Hope this helps

You need a 60W Power Supply with the original MagSafe connection, the recent MagSafe 2 will not fit a 2009 MacBook.

Can I use my macbook pro mid 2012 as an external display using thunderbolt port
Hi,
I want to use my macbook pro (mid 2012) screen as an external display for a raspberry pi using a HDMI to Thunderbolt cable, via the thunderbolt port on the macbook pro. Would this be possible? Can the macbook pro's thunder bolt port act as an input and is any additional software required?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks in advance!Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You are referring to Target Display mode. Target Display mode can only be used in 27-inch iMacs and iMacs with Thunderbolt, not MacBooks Pro > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302

Can I use iCloud Drive online only?
Can I use iCloud Drive online only? I don't want to store everything on my macbook pro. I only have 128 GB SSD and I don't want to fill it up with photos, music, etc. I still want to see everything in finder in the iCloud Drive folder, but I don't want it to be saved on my macbook.
Yes I know, but I want it to be used as external storage, not something where I store copies of stuff that I have already on my macbook
But iCloud Drive is not an external storage. It is a common storage that is synced and shared between all connected devices, and it is always available, even when you are not connected to the internet.
What you want to do is not possible with iCloud Drive. -
Just wondering, how can i use time machine to only backup my system once? Just this once and not on a weekly basis?
Upgrade. My three year old Mac Pro and year old MacBook Pro have no problem. Both seem faster.
And there's your problem reading entirely subjective views on forums, from people that might or might not have decently maintained systems, good operating practices, or whatever....
Strangely, when most companies issue new software, it is because they believe (and believe they have checked) that it is better than the previous version. -

Can I use my Macbook Air with my apple TV?
I have just purchased and Apple TV box to use with my phone and Ipad. I was just wondering is i can also use my macbook air (late 2010) with it as well. I can stream my itunes through the apple tv and play all my songs but i was wondering if I could mirror the screen onto my TV. I am useless with all the macbook jargon i have seen in other posts so need some simple help. I am operating on Lion 10.7.5. I have read that nwer software could help but i would like to know for certain before purcahsing the latest software.
Thank YouYes, but you must update to OS X Mavericks using the Mac App Store. When you do, you will see this icon in the menubar:
I hope I solved your question.

If that configuration supports Target Display mode, use it. If not, use a product such as ScreenRecycler.
