Can i use my iPhone 5s as a remote controller to my MacBook pro?

Can i use my iPhone 5s as a remote controller to my MacBook pro with retina display such as keynote presentations etc.?

Hey there emrahtatir,
It sounds like you want to remotely control Keynote and iTunes from your phone. For Keynote this article will help you out:
Using Keynote Remote

To be able to control your iTunes application from your phone you would need the Remote app on the iPhone and Home Sharing enabled:
Set up Remote app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1947
You can download Remote using the App Store on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch or using iTunes on your Mac or PC. Remote requires an iOS device and either Apple TV or iTunes 9.2.1 or later. You can see the version of iOS you need and other requirements for the Remote app.
Remote uses Home Sharing to set up and control iTunes and Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation). See how you can use the Remote app. For best performance, update your iOS device, Apple TV, and iTunes. To use Remote, make sure your devices are on the same network, and log in to Home Sharing on your iOS device and iTunes or Apple TV with the same Apple ID.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
    Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
    Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
    You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you?  If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
    Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
    In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • Can I use an adapter to get thunderbolt on my early 09 MacBook pro

    Can I use an adapter to get thunderbolt on my early 09 MacBook pro?

    No.  ThunderBolt is a direct connection to your systems PCI Express bus.  There is no way for your existing ports to do this with any sort of external adapter.

    Hi John,
    If your MBP is a 2011, yes, and here is one example: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S4GB/
    If your MBP is from 2006, the other year Apple made a 2GHz, the answer is no, as the max RAM is 2GB.
    Given that it appears you already have 2x2GB installed, I'm "guessing" you have the 2011 model, so the answer is yes.

  • How to use my iPhone 4 to select Internet radio stations on MacBook Pro

    Okay, once again I return here to seek guidance and wisdom.  Fellow members here told me about Air Video, a terrific set of programs for iOS and OS X to stream videos from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4.  It is awesome!
    Now, my other need (?).  I want to run something on my Mac that lets me select Internet radio station streams like TuneIn for ex., but I want to be able to change selections on whatever is on the Mac from the iPhone 4.  What I want to do is use the iPhone 4 as a remote for the app on the Mac which I want to connect to either some external speakers or someday to a real external Dac, amp, and speakers.
    I have the TuneIn Pro app on my iPhone 4 already and on the Mac via browser have accessed their website.
    Now someone surely is going to mention Airplay or something to stream from the iPhone4.  From the cost of Airplay capable hardware, I just can't afford it yet.  Maybe if I could find Bluetooth speaker or device?
    One other thing to throw in for thought.  I have not only iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but also Fidelia and Amarra, and thinking about Decibel or Audirvana.  In other words somewhat hi-def music output quality available on the Mac.  So....I do have a remote app for Fidelia and think there's one for either Decibel or Audirvana, so that brings me back to Internet radio on the MacBook Pro.  If I can find a way to use the iPhone 4 to select an app on the Mac for Internet radio, I can play those plus hi-def music via one of those programs.
    I probably didn't say all that right, but I hope you can decipher what I am asking about.
    If nothing else, can you recommend inexpensive Bluetooth speakers to play radio from the iPhone4?  I was hoping to buy some AudioEngine powered speakers for the Mac, hence the desire to run all sound/music through that device but using the iPhone4 as control device.

    Hi Starbux48
    First off. The benefits of using Amarra, Pure Music, Audirvana or whatever, can only be heard if you have a true audiophile system set-up. Think of systems starting from 5000 U$. Then only if your music files are high resolution. Think ALAC or FLAC, AIFF or Wave.  For all other music playing the itunes set-up suffices. So the better idea for you will be playing the music over your macbook.
    Mountain lion offers airplay for intel based macs. You can use this. If you install the free Remote App. on your iPhone, you can use that to control itunes on your Macbook via wifi/Airplay. The remote app offers you the view of itunes on your Macbook and the screen of your Macbook changes with what you do on your iPhone. So you can even control the itunes radiostation from your iPhone.
    If you have an older, non-intel macbook, you can install airserver on your macbook. This will set you back 15 dollars or so, but will basically do the same.

    Can I connect an iMac(20" G5) as a display for the MacBook Pro 13"? If yes, what adapters I need? Does it need modification or software for the iMac?

    You need to use ScreenRecycler or a VNC client.

  • Can I use my iMac 2009 as an external monitor for a MacBook Pro

    I will soon be getting a new MacBook Pro with Retina display. It has an HDMI port.
    My current iMac 21.5" late 2009 model seems to have a port with what looks like a little monitor symbol, next to the firewire port. And the specs say:
    Graphics and video support
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory3
    ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory
    Built-in iSight camera
    Mini DisplayPort output port with support for DVI, VGA, and dual-link DVI (adapters sold separately).
    Support for extended desktop and video mirroring modes
    Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to a 30-inch display (2560 by 1600 pixels) on an external display
    Does this mean that port is just for video output to an external monitor? Or is is possible to also do video in?
    On the one hand it feels like a waste to use a perfectly good iMac as a monitor. But the MacBook Pro actually has better specs, and so I was wondering if it is possible anyway.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your reply. After reading the article though, I'm still not really sure what the answer is. For example, you mention something that can be done, with some hurdles to go through, for 27" iMacs. Mine is a 21.5" iMac, but seems to have the same port you mentioned in the article. Or maybe it isn't. Anyway, I'm still not sure if it is possible after reading that. Interesting information though.

  • Can I Use an Old External Hard Drive to Back Up my MacBook Pro?

    I am currently using a 2010 MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8) and I am thinking of upgrading to Mountain Lion when it comes out. So that means I should really back up my Mac. I have never backed up my Mac before nor have I ever backed up any of the PC's I owned in the past. With this being my first Mac and my first time backing it up I want to make sure I do this right.
    So my question is can I use my old exteral hard drive (Got it back in 2004 for University. Used with a PC) to back up my MacBook Pro with out running into any issues if I have to restore my Mac??

    yes.  connect it to the usb port, open disk utility, erase the disk and format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  That is the most common format.  Then backup as necessary.

  • Can I use old version adobe acrobat 7.0 Professional for my macbook pro. I just bought this software and is non returnable.

    I just bought this software from RAFT teacher resources and it's non returnable. I don't know that it doesn't support macbook pro.  Is there anyway can you help me if you can. I don't want to waste it.  Thanks.  Best regards, Vivian.

    There is absolutely nothing you can do with this software if your Mac OS version is newer than 10.6; Macs less than about 5 years old cannot run older versions of Mac OS . It is no more use to you than a brick. It is an extraordinary thing to sell. Acrobat is now at version 11. Version 7 is more than 10 years old. I had a look but I don't see this on the RAFT store.

  • Can I use my time machine backup to migrate my files to macbook pro retina from my macbook pro 15 inch?

    I'm using a macbook pro 15 inch mid 2011 running on mountain lion.
    I have a complete backup of my files on time machine.  If I get a macbook retina, whats the best way ti migrate?
    Can I use my time machine to restore to the new retina mac?
    Thanks

    I'd just use the Time Machine restore function when setting up your new machine. If you don't have the TB>FW adapter, how do you plan to connect to your external drive with your TM backup? You may have to resort to Migration Assistant - but it would be helpful if you had the TB>Ethernet adapter so that you could hardwire both machines to your router - going wireless is going to take a long, long time. If your external has a USB port, you could use that for a TM restore...

  • How can I use my iMac (2007) as an external display to my MacBook Pro (2013) while in bootcamp?

    I have an old 2007 iMac laying around that is too slow for use as a second computer, however I could greatly benefit from a second monitor for what I'm doing on my 2013 MacBook Pro while in bootcamp's windows mode (Photoshop, Illustrator, Rhinoceros, etc.). A hardware solution would be ideal, however I am aware that this might not work for an iMac older than 2009. I would appreciate any software suggestions for allowing the use of my 2007 iMac as a second monitor for my 2013 MacBook Pro while on the windows side via bootcamp.
    Thanks,
    Andy
