Can you plug your macbook pro to your monitor ?

thanks for answering

Yep, you sure can. I have my MBP connected to a Samsung 730B via the digital input. This way I can use the dual screen feature to give me more desktop "elbow" room when I am working at home. Alternately, you can simply use the screen mirror option where what is on you MBP screen is also on your external monitor. If you have not purchased the external monitor yet, I would advise you get one with a digital input already built in.

CAN I TURN MY MACBOOK PRO INTO A MONITOR?

Help I want to turn my Macbook Pro into a monitor for my Playstation 2 so that way I can record on my screen using quicktime. please help I used a vga adapter from apple a AV to vga converter, and is their any way for me to use an iphone on a mac to play ios games while recording?

I don't think you can without some sort of capture card (very expensive, and because most MacBook Pros don't have a card, you need to use the FW800). MBP's Thunderbolt port only sends video signals out, you can't attach an HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable from your camera to the MBP and expect to show video.
You could try a utility like Sofortbild.

Can you use a MacBook Pro without the keyboard attached?

Hi,
I plan to upgrade the hard drive in my MacBook Pro (MBP) to a solid state drive (SSD). I also plan to remove the SuperDrive in the optical bay.
I have to install a new firmware on the SSD. Installing the firmware requires the SuperDrive.
I intend to remove the SuperDrive after installing the firmware. I'm using a Early 2008 MBP (Pre-Unibody). This MBP is a difficult to dismantle and assemble.
Can I run the MBP (to install the firmware in FreeDOS) without reattaching the top panel (which houses the keyboard). Or can I just lay the top panel on the MBP without screwing it down. Will either of these actions damage my MBP? Once I've installed the firmware on the MBP, I'll reattach the keyboard.
I don't want to dismantle the MBP (to insert the SSD), assemble the MBP (to install the firmware with the CD in the SuperDrive) then disassemble the MBP again (to remove the SuperDrive).
I'd rather dismantle and assemble the MBP once.
Lifting the top panel (which houses the keyboard)

Please let me know.
Thanks!

Sorry, Just noticed you were not using the Unibody models.
I am unaware if the power button is dedicated. Seems like you're on the right track with iFixIt. I figure as long as USB is available, it should be okay.

Can you trade in macbook pros for newer models?

there is an apple store near where i live, and i was wondering if i took it in for them to look at it, could i trade it, along with a little more money, for the newer macbook pro? It is on excelent condition.

Apple does not to trade-ins. Sell it yourself on eBay or similar.

Where can you get a Macbook Pro laser etched?

I've seen some really interesting laptops, mainly MacBooks/PowerBooks, with amazing laser etched designs put into them. Where could I get something like this done? Have any of you done it yourselves, and was it worth it? It seems like a really nice anti-theft measure, as an added bonus.
Do universities with engineering or art departments often have these machines? How have some of you gotten this done, if anyone has?

External etching if done improperly may affect the warranty of the machine. Do any modifications which may affect the internal components of the machine after the machine is out of warranty. There are plastic shells you can put on the machine externally that add a distinctive character, and protect the metal beneath. I've not tried any of them, but have seen them in the third party Mac mail order catalogs, and magazines.

How can you watch a macbok pro on a tv

How can you watch a macbook pro on a tv? I have the right cable but it does not show anything from itunes.

I am assuming you have a mini-displayport/thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and of course a HDMI cable.
Set the TV to the input you connected the HDMI cable to.
On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection. Try clicking detect displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection. Check your cables and make sure the mini-displayport plug is pushed firmly in. Mini-displayport plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in the socket.
If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen. Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown. You should see a picture at this point. I recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.
You may have to play with the underscan/overscan settings on your TV and the displays prefs for the TV if the picture is too small or larger for the TV screen.
Also, you need to set your Sound preferences to output to the HDMI connection.

Use macbook pro as a monitor

Can I use my Macbook Pro as a monitor for my G4 tower? I am trying to see if the existing monitor I have is causing my kernal panics on my G4 tower....

Monitors don't typically cause kernel panics. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics.
Open your Console application and locate the last panic log entry. Copy it and post here. Perhaps we can help if you provide more information about your kernel panics.

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
It needs to be wireless.
I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
Hope this helps.

Can you record your voice in logic pro 9 just as simple as garageband or do you need a plug-in?

can you record your voice in logic pro 9 just as simple as garageband or do you need a plug-in or interface?

Alas, poor Logic, I knew him well.
Recording wise, It will be much the same as Garageband but you will need to read manuals as Logic doesn't set things up for you. You must choose input and output devices, create the correct tracks. Logic was designed for professional use so it expects users to be somewhat familiar with recording/editing techniques, in other words, won't hold your hand or be nearly as easy to use.
