Can Mac Book Pro play Bluray and can i sling that to apple tv?

Can Macbook pro play Bluray

It's a DVD SuperDrive, not a Blu Ray! And if you were to plug one in, the OS won't have a clue as to what to do with it. The late lamented Steve Jobs, and Apple thus far, decided not to support the format, hence why you won't see one of those drives in a Mac.
You CAN get it to (eventually) play, but will have to purchase expensive third-party applications. Beside the expensive external drive. And you probably won't be able to "sling" it to your TV, cause that's precisely what the movie cabal doesn't want you to do.

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • Can I interrupt a migration from Mac Book Pro to Imac and what are the consequences

    can I interrupt a migration from Mac Book Pro to iMac and what are the consequences

    Les:
    Here are some options:
    • You could copy the data file to your laptop, work on it, and update the file on the iMac when you are back.
    • You can use an application like Log Me In to access your home computer from your laptop.
    • You can use DropBox. Install it on both computers, place your data file in a folder on the iMac, access it and work on it on your laptop and it will be automatically updated on your computer at home, even if it is not turned on, as soon as it is connected to the internet.
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.

    Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
    No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
    Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

    my mac book pro got stolen and i just purchased a new one is there any way i can recover my purchased songs and movies from i tunes. I have the same account name, password and everything

    Yes. Update to iTunes 10.3.1
    Then go to the iTunes Store and click Purchased "new" under Music Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes window.
    You can re download your purchased content from the next window.

  • Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • My daughter forgot her Mac book pro password. How can I reset it

    My daughter forgot her Mac book pro password. How can I reset it?

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

  • HT2471 My Mac book pro had been stolen can I track it down

    Hi
    My Mac book pro has been stolen can track it down if so can please ask for some help.
    Thanks

    You can only let Apple know that it was stolen by providing them the serial number. If you're still under warranty you should be able to login here with your Apple ID and find your serial number.
    I can't remember who you contact at Apple - your Apple Store would be a good bet - at least if it shows up at an authorized repair center, they'll know it was stolen. Not sure how this works exactly but a friend of mine has a MacBook stolen and he followed this procedure.
    And, of course, you've given the serial number to the police? They're the best place to start if you have or have recovered your serial number.

    Mac Book Pro Version 9.1 - can't close IPhoto, can't import selected new photos.

    Any more ideas? My Mac BookPro won't download all new photos - just a few.
    There are many photos it won't recognize.
    I need upgrades - my computer won't continue upgrading.

  • Is it possible to connect a mac book pro via thunderbolt and a dvi switchbox (multiple computers) to a thunderbolt display?

    Hi,
    I'm planning to buy a thunderbolt display.Since I have not only apple computers with a thunderbolt port I wonder if it's possible to connect my mac book pro via thunderbolt and a DVI switchbox via a "mini displayport to DVI connector" to the thunderbolt display at the same time. Thunderbolt is a bus architecture. Thus there must be an ingoing and an outgoing port on the display. The rearview of the display I've seen so far don't show this:
    If this is not possible then I must question the market chances of this product. Seems as if the product marketing guys exaggerated the launch of the thunderbolt technology.

    How to connect windows laptop (vga) to thunderbolt display?
    AHHH??!!!!!!  Was that your original question??   I assumed you were trying to output FROM your computer (MacBook Pro w/ Thunderbolt) to the new display and then OUT to be the video source to a DVI switcher.
    MB Pro w/TB ---> TB Display ---> mDP-to-DVI adapter ---> DVI switcher
    So it seems as if it's not possible to use the thunderbolt display with the mini display port adapter to DVI you've mentioned.
    I did not understand that you were trying to use other PC's into a switcher and then THAT Video source to connect INTO the TB display.   If THAT is what you're trying to do, then NO....  You can NOT use the new TB Display to be used to display "FROM" a DVI switcher (and also can NOT be used to display from other Non-TB-Apple computers).
    I've also called apple. The statement was that one needs a computer with osx 10.6.x in order to connect the thunderbolt display. That makes it impossible to hook a windows pc or older mac to the new and shiny thunderbolt display.
    I wonder why apple doesn't state this in their technical descriptions...?
    -ais-swiss
    Actually, the state that information all over the Tech Specs on the Apple Store website.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC914LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Here are two different statements from that webpage:
    So yes.... other NON-Apple PC's (or non-TB devices) do Not have the Thunderbolt technology (hardware/software) to be able to communicate with the TB display or other TB devices.

  • Mac book pro, Turns off and goes under protection especially with an External monitor on.

    Mac book pro,
    Turns off and goes under protection, sometimes without any specific motivation, but most of the time when an External monitor is pluged-in.
    I use it when I work with final cut pro, and this problem it's becoming huge and changing my workplans....
    It can turns off also 10 times in two hours.
    In many forums I read that the CPU temp could be the problem, but I've checked it and It's always around 62°-68°....
    In some others they say that the new RAM could be the problem too.
    Is anybody able to help me? (Underneath you can check the Panic Report and my mac informations)
    Thank you so much.
