My answer was based on it's not really that much harder to use than plugging it in.

Follow the very. very simple instructions that came with the AppleTV.
Plug AppleTV in
Connect it to your TV.
Turn on AppleTV.
Launch iTunes on your computer and enable Home Sharing.

What external raid devices can I use on my Non-Thunderbolt Macbook pro (Mid 2009)?

I'm looking for the best external Raid drive options for my non-thunderbolt port 2009 Macbook Pro. I only require 2Tb total storage (prefer RAID 1 so it'll be 2x2tb drives, removeable). Can I still use a thunderbolt drive or would I be wasting my $$ if I can't take advantage of the speed?
I have a 17" Macbook pro 5,2 (mid 2009) running 10.6.8 OS X (Snow Leopard), Intel core, without a Thunderbolt port.
Thanks!

Hi, cubingcouple.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your MacBook is not working with your external display. display shows a blank screen. Here is the best troubleshooting resource to go through when experiencing these symptoms.

HT201335 can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv

can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

HT2208 Can I use Apple TV with a MacBook Air?

Can I use Apple TV with my MacBook Air?
The promotional material online doesn't make this clear but I like the sound of what' said on Apple TV.
I'll buy one now if it works!

In what way? You can use home-sharing to stream your iTunes library and Photos. If it's a recent MBA then you will also be able to mirror when Mountain Lion is released.

I can not use CanoScan N670U with my Macbook pro. I download canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon website. It keep saying "the scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

I can not use CanaScan N670U with my Macbook Pro. I download Canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon websit. It still keep saying "The scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

There is a solution (I'm running Snow Leopard on a Core2Duo iMac, but this problem arose when I was running Leopard on a G4 PowerBook too).
Problem:
You download the OS X driver for the scanner from Canon's site. I already had the CanoScan Toolbox (4.1) stored on an external drive.
You unzip the driver and run the VISE installer. After a search it finds your copy of Photoshop (and maybe even the CanoScan Toolbox), and you click to install on that/those location(s).
You get a couple of error messages, which you click through.
You restart your computer and try to run the scanner but you get an error that the driver is wrong or missing and the process will abort.
Solution:
BEFORE you restart, and with the installer package still open -
1. Copy the Into_CFMSupport_Login & Into_CMPrefs folders to
Applications : Canon Utilities
Applications : Canoscan Toolbox
and remove the prefix Into_ from each folder
2. Check whether the installer placed N067U_Library.shlb into the top level (not User level)
Library : CFMSupport
and if it didn't, move it there yourself
THEN restart, and try again. It worked for me (via Photoshop), but whether it will work for everyone, I don't know.

Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?

Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?
If so, are there any problems and/or limitations in doing so? (i.e. no stereo sound, or anything else?).

Can you use Bluetooth earphones simultaneously with the Magic Mouse (which is also Bluetooth)?
And, just out of curiosity, why can't you use the Bluetooth earphones on an airplane?

Can I use 1333MHz RAM in a MacBook Pro Mid 2012?

Hi.
My MacBook Pro Mid ´12 comes with 4GB 1600MHz RAM. I upgraded this to 8GB 1333MHz. Does this cause a hot MacBook Pro near the battery?

phlek wrote:
Can the 1333MHz RAM be the problem for heating?
Not likely. Usually it will be a function of the stress placed on the CPU/GPU by applications. Hardware faults may be another source of heat such as the fans.
I will buy Corsair Vengance, what do you think about this brand?
If the specifications are the correct ones, it should work.
Ciao.

Can I use 4K monitor with my MacBook Pro Non-retina?

I am considering to use 4k monitor for my MacBook. I have mid-2012 15" MacBook Pro. But I'm afraid that it will not perform as good as standard hd monitor. I'm wondering if any of you have tried using 4k monitor for your MacBook. Thank you.

Won't work - at least not with 4K resolution.
Supposedly, the late 2013 retina machines with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB GDDR5 memory will run 4K resolutions - but only in Windows 8, NOT in any version of OS X, yet.
So you'll just have to buy a new Mac Pro or wait until Apple comes out with an OS that supports running 4K on a new MacBook Pro Retina and buy that.
Sorry,
Clinton

Can I use TV only with my MacBook Pro, or I need a TV?

I have an Apple 30" Cinema Display and a MacBook Pro, so I don't have a TV.
Can I use TV directly on my computer without a TV (HOW?), or it doesn't work without a TV?

You can't get much more direct than using the computer itself.
Your MBP can mirror its display to your ACD and use front row. While this isn't quite as convenient as the tv it is not far from the same.
Why would you send a picture from your MBP to an tv only to have it sent back again. The tv (I don't think) would be anywhere near powerful enough to power a 30" ACD.

Can i use an external drive in macbook pro mid 2012?

replaced my optical drive with new matshita UJ8A8 drive in my macbook pro 13 mid 2012. problem was prior to replacing every type of disc wold be ejected, now when disc goes in new drive makes a sound and then ejects???? any ideas? I have 16 gig of ram in pc

I'm not sure why it wouldn't? The Apple external USB SuperDrive will not work with your machine, but there are a lot of other third-party drives out there that should have no problem. Even though you have USB 3.0 ports on your machine, any USB 2.0 external optical drive should be fine -> a slow optical drive (and they're all slow at writing and reading asa limitation of the media, not the port) is the norm.
If I were you, I would just check out one of the $30-50 Asus, LG, etc., external optical drives out there. It should work with any Mac.
Good luck,
Clinton

Can't enable Handoff in my macbook pro mid 2009

hey buddies
I finally upgraded to OS X Yosemite with my macbook pro mid 2009 but.. i kind of upgrade because the handoff and continuity options paired to my iphone 5
I see in many reviews and blogs that I need to open System preferences > General > Allow handoff.. but THERE'S NO ALLOW HANDOFF option....
here in the picture below you can see that there's no option for that..
what should I do? is there any issue with that?

There is a tool available, unsupported by apple that enables this feature on older Macs. I have not tried it yet as I don't have iOS 8.1 installed, but people are claiming it works to enable on unsupported systems. As usual, use at your own risk. https://github.com/dokterdok/Continuity-Activation-Tool/

Macbook pro mid 2009 - beach ball spinning after one hour

Hi,
I have a problem with my macbook pro mid 2009. After one hour of working the beach ball starts spinning and you cannot work anylonger.
You have to force shut down the macbook pro and restart it. The same problem appears once I wanna do a back-up on my time capsule, but then I receive at least a report after restart:

Can somebody help me, what's wrong with my macbook? I already changed the ram, but it didn't help...
Best regards,

Hi,
I just found the problem. I just have to update the firmware of my SSD:
Crucial M4 and RealSSD C400 SSDs 5184 hours power-on time BSOD issue
Crucial M4 and RealSSD C400 SSDs with firmware earlier than 70H / 07M could become unresponsive after 5184 hours of Power-on time. The drive will recover after a power cycle, however, this failure will repeat once per hour after reaching this point. Update firmware to version 70H / 07M or later.
My SSD has now 5690hours...
