  • Help, I've got a small CD stuck in my MacBook Pro. How do I get it out?

    My tax guy sent me a tiny CD and, full of doubt, I stuck it in my MacBook Pro, where it remains. How do I get it out without taking apart my machine?

    Yup, that's a one time deal for sure. I didn't want to stick anything in there, and it hadn't engaged, so following some of the advice in the link you posted I turned off the machine and simply shook the little ******* out of there. I was able to grab it with my fingers no problem. Much better and simpler than sticking things in there haha. The solution was so simply I'm embarrassed I didn't come up with it on my own.
    Thanks for your help!
    And thanks to everyone who responded, in case you see this reply.
    cheers

  • I have two drives in my macbook pro. How can I download my apps to my second data hard drive instead of my OS SSD drive?

    I have two drives in my macbook pro. How can I download my apps to my second data hard drive instead of my OS SSD drive? Is there a way to point the default directory in the app store to a different hard drive? Certainly for a Mac Pro this makes sense.

    Hi,
    See if there is anything in this Link that applies:

  • I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

    I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

    May not make a difference anyway. The Logitech support site does not show drivers for Mac OS for the F310:
    http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411
    I'd contact their support to find out if there is a Mac driver available, and if they can either give you a web link to get it, e-mail you the software, or snail-mail you a standard-size disk with the drivers.

  • I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

    I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900+  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

    I need to have my macbook pro repaired how can I hide passwords and banking info?

    Create a new admin account named repair and only give them the password for that account. Alternately you could back up or clone your system, erase the hard drive and then reinstall OS X with one admin account that has no personal information.

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • I do have a gray application DVD that came with my MacBook Pro by how to use it

    I do have a gray application DVD that came with my MacBook Pro by how to use it.

    You don't, your signature says you have 10.7.5 and the disk is either 10.5 or 10.6, has outdated software on it.
    Keep it in case of emergency in a very safe place in case you need to reinstall on a new drive, then upgrade to 10.7.5 again.

  • I just bought a used Macbook Pro. How do I make the changes to make it personal. Example the iTunes comes up as the old user and I have to have his password to make changes on the laptop. Can you make any suggestions?

    I just bought a used Macbook Pro. How do I make the changes to make it personal. Example the iTunes comes up as the old user and I have to have his password to make changes on the laptop. Can you make any suggestions?
    Also I cant make a right click on the pad. Is that normal?

    Your first going to have to remove all your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine when it asks as this will copy the entire drive and is unnecessary at this time (also takes too long).
    You need to drag and drop copy your personal data folders (Music, Pictures, Movies etc) to a external storage drive, once done, unmount and disconnect this drive.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Next your going to follow the Zero Erase and install method for your OS X version, either 10.6 or 10.7, here
    How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
    10.7 requires your AppleID and password to install, so make sure to have that ready.
    Once you reboot your into the real setup of OS X, which will require your name etc, so it's now your machine.
    Install your programs, iLife package is only free for the owner of the machine.
    If you have the 10.6 machine specific disks, then it's on there.
    If your using 10.7, then you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
    Last, return your files from the storage drive, consider setting up a TimeMachine or clone on the external drive.

  • How can I reboot my macbook pro to how i first got it if i don't have the cd

    How can I reboot my Macbook Pro to how it was when I first got it if I don't have the cd

    I had to do this the othe day when  I got my mew retina and set it up and then tried to transfer data from my old mac instead of using migration and made a real mess of it.  And I wanted to start all over again, so I called apple help and they said this:
    Basically what you do is wipe the hard disc clean my reformatting - thats a scary bit
    then reboot holding alt down and you get an option screen
    you choose intalll Lion and it comes in via wifi and takes 2 hours or so , and then its just like an out of the box computer.
    Best look for through some threads to double check the method, but thats basically what I did and it was fine.
    Obviously cos the retina doesnt have a dvd drive, it had to be the only way anyway.

  • What can I delete on my Macbook pro and how?

    what prorams can I delete on my macbook pro and how? I heard could delete some preloaded programs on my macbook pro and I would like to know how? I know that I can move app from to the trash to uninstall them but what all preloaded apps can I delete. I tried to delete photo booth, sticky notes, address book and could not so what can I delete and how?

    I wasn't aware that you couldn't delete those programs, what happens when you try? Is there some reason that you want to delete them? They don't take up hardly any hard drive space or RAM to use them and they are useful programs, I think. If you're trying to gain more hard drive space, that's not going to do it. If you don't want them in your dock, just drag them out to the desktop and they poof away.

    Restarting MacBook Pro, Apple TV and WiFi router could solve the problem.

    Over 10 years I have built several databases with Appleworks. Now I have a macbook pro. How can I translate these databases to a 10.6.8 program?

    I can only say that by Apple I have been royally screwed. I'll never buy another mac -- everything I do would simply disappear into cyberspace.

    I have Microsoft Word for my MacBook Pro.  How do I add a pdf to a word document, I have Microsoft Word for my MacBook Pro.  How do I add a pdf to a word document

    What do you want to do specifically.  They are two different document formats - one is PDF, the other DOC or DOCX.  In what way do you wish to "add" ad PDF to a word document. You can embed a mini version within a document (copy it and paste it from within the x.doc) but that's a pretty hokey looking solution.
    Oh, its mostly irrelevant if its office 2004,8 or 11 - they all do this more or less the same way.
