Do I always have to be within distance of iPhone?

No, the watch can only link to an iPhone. However, it can do several things even when out of range of the iPhone — http://help.apple.com/watch/#/apd0443fb403

  • Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
    Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
    A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

  • How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
    One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
    The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
    I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
    Good luck,
    Clinton

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

    I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

    See the following thread on the same topic:
    2 Thunderbolt displays   MBP = sound coming from both displays?

  • How can I use an A1082 monitor with my MacBook Pro?

    I received an apple A1082 monitor this past weekend from a friend and we couldn't, and still can't, figure out how it can be used with my MacBook Pro. I know that I need an adapter, but where does it get power from? Thanks in-advance. Richie.

  • Can't pair Apple Tv 3rd gen to MacBook Pro

    I just purchased an Apple TV and it won't pair with my MacBook Pro.
    I use OSX 10.9 for the MBP and version 6.0.1 for the Apple TV so I believe all is up to date.
    The problem is that my computer recognizes the signal from Apple TV but Apple TV keeps searching and the BlueTooth keyboard doesn't appear so I can't type the code to pair Apple TV with MBP.

    No, they simply did not.
    Bluetooth on the ATV is for pairing a Bluetooth keyboard.  The Mac is not a Bluetooth keyboard, although it may use one.
    Bluetooth can also be used by an iOS device to enable setting up the ATV on a Wi-Fi network, making the process a little simpler, this requires 6.0 or later on the ATV and iOS7 or later on the iOS device.
    ATV's do not pair with computers.  They can share the iTunes library on a PC or MAC when the computer is powered on, iTunes is running, and HomeSharing is turned on.

  • Can i use my galaxy note3 with my macbook pro?

    Sure in some ways. What exactly do you want to do with the Note 3 and the Mac?

  • HT201178 Is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard with a MacBook Pro? Sounds odd, I know, but I much prefer typing on a wireless keyboard.

    With a MacBook Pro..is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard instead of the keyboard built into the MacBook Pro? I much prefer typing on the wireless keyboard. Thanks

    Hello:
    If the Macbook Pro has Bluetooth built-in, the answer is yes.

  • How can I use a USB keyboard with my Macbook Pro?

    My MBP will not recognize my brand new USB keyboard.
    I have tried the keyboard on two other Macbook Air's and it works perfectly.
    My MBP:
    OS X Yosemite
    10.10.1
    Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
    2.4 GHz Core i5
    8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Mac HD
    Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB
    Thoughts on how I can resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Brenden,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I've gone your suggestions in detail and the keyboard is still not working.
    From what I can tell this is a known issue with Yosemite.

    Someone at Apple must be able to figure this one out.

  • How can i drive 2 external displays with my macbook pro?

    I just purchased an Macbook Pro and wanted to know if there is a solution to drive 2 external Apple
    Cinema Displays simultaeously.  (Set up so displays operate as 1)?

    I believe the TripleHead2GO requires all three external displays to be identical. Verify this with a call to Matrox. There is also a maximum resolution limit for the three displays together, which you'll want to be sure is acceptable to you and will look OK on your monitors. Ideally, the maximum resolution the TH2Go supports for each display will be the maximum resolution each display is capable of when used alone, because the displays will be sharpest at their maximum resolutions. If used at any lower resolution setting, they will be noticeably blurry.
    I'm not aware of any other three-display options for the Mac that enable the monitors to operate with normal responsiveness (USB video adapters are slow). Yes, the TH2Go is expensive, and that's probably because it's the only game in town.

  • Where can I download Apple Hardware Diagnostics for my MacBook Pro ?

    I have a problem of Mac freezing with an alarm sound forcing me to shut down, and someone suggests that I run an Apple Hardware Test. But I have no such CD. Do you know wether such an application can be downloaded for a MacBook Pro (Mac Os X Lion) ?
    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Thank you very much !
    I was surprised not to have a CD for AHT. But if it is already included in the MacBook, it's fine.

  • Will the Apple Genius Bar take my MacBook Pro if the keys are messed up?

    I got my MacBook Pro a couple of weeks ago and its still under warrenty. A frew weeks ago, I got some weird yellow stuff on my keys. I tried to get the stuff out but i eventually broke the keys. Will apple now take my MacBook Pro?

    Yes, they will. But they will state that the problem was caused by misuse and not covered by warranty. Then they will offer to repair it The Official Way by replacing the entire topcase, to the tune of $700-$900 out of your pocket. Oh, WAIT! I'ts a Retina. Scratch that, think about $1500-$2000.
    If the "yellow stuff" did not trickle down into the guts of the Mac and it still works, note that replacement keycaps can be had at https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/
    And I will do my best to not imagine the nature of the yellow stuff and how it came to be spurted on the suffering keyboard.......

  • Only one person can't receive messages I send with my Macbook Pro

    For a while, I've been able to send messages to a friend of mine (who is using an iPhone) with the Messages app on my Macbook Pro, but all of a sudden she couldn't receive any messages I sent her, although I could receive messages she sent to me. We can both send and receive messages to other people we message, but for some reason she can't see what I send. Note that the Messages app says the messages have been delivered, but for some reason she isn't actually getting them. Why is this? and how can we fix the problem? Thanks.

    Hello wikiwikisu,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your friend is not receiving iMessages you send from your MacBook Pro, there are several troubleshooting steps that may help. You can find a good troubleshooting guide at this link:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    Since your friend cannot receive iMessages from you, but receives them from other contacts, I'd suggest they try these steps on their iPhone first:
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • Apple TV Sync with 2x MacBook Pro's?

    Hi All,
    Can anyone tell me if you can Sync Apple TV to 2 Mac Book Pros.
    Both myself & partner want to use it, however we want to use our own content.
    Thanks

    Only one of you can sync your content to the tv, but the other can stream their content. Streaming requires that the computer is on and running iTunes in order for you to watch the content on the tv
