Compatibility re MacBook Pro (early 09) and Lexmark 7100 Series All in One?
Just purchased a new MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.6. Having difficulty getting my Lexmark 7100 All in One Printer/etc. to work with it. Computer does not recognize Lexmark 7100 printer/etc. and I keep getting messages saying that Lexmark works with OS 10.2.3 and later, not Classic. Of course computer has OS 10.5.6. Already downloaded new Lexmark drivers; did not help. Used this Lexmark with my G4 computer and OS 10.4.2. Is it compatible with OS 10.5.6?
Has it created a virtual printer icon on the Desktop ?
If not then it's not installed or configured correctly. It should work once you've got the settings right ...
(I has one that did work with 10.5 but recently upgraded to a Canon Pixma)

I have a macbook pro early 2011, and I can't use AirPlay like it says I can. I do not have the "show mirror displays" or whatever. What the heck
About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Thanks to the $15 Beamer, AirPlay streaming is still possible on Macs that do not support Airplay and mirroring.

I have a macbook pro i bought from someone and I need to clear all this other persons info, i don't have a the cd by the way so thats the challenge I'm against. its a early 2011 macbook pro 8.1 and it has 10.6.6 snow leopard on it and i would like to get it to mountain lion but didn't know if downloading that would clear the memory as well? any ideas?...
1: Backup any data off the machine. Download the free MacTracker
2: Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info > Macbook Pro 3,1 or like model number, punch it into Mactracker.
3: Find out what OS X version came originally on your machine. how far you can go.
Things to consider before upgrading OS X
4: Inexpensive. $ If < 10.6.3, then order the 10.6.3 disks by calling Apple via phone.
5: More money $$. If > 10.6.2 then call Apple ia phone for the machine specific versions as the 10.6.3 retail version won't work.
6: Follow these links to wipe and install
How do I securely delete data from the machine?
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
7: Run Software update to get to 10.6.8
8: Check hardware requirements for 10.7 or 10.8 using MacTracker , install more RAM if need be. $$$$.
9: Optional, more $$$. Run AppStore and install 10.8, or call Apple for 10.7 (better stay on 10.6 if 10.7 is the best you can do)
Must follow about using the disks to wipe the machine of previous owners data squirreled all over the thing.
Only thing "free" is the advice. -
Can anyone tell me the compatability between macbook pro running lion and the kindle touch?
I originally wanted an Ipad, but when I already have a macbook pro, and an android phone, planning to upgrade to an iphone when I qualifiy for one, I could not see paying the money for an ipad when between my computer and phone I have all the capabilities covered. However, being a college student who uses pdf files of textbooks a lot, sometimes pulling out my laptop every time I want to look some little thing up in a textbook gets old. And carrying all my engineering textbooks everywhere is going to kill my back one of these days. So I want a cost friendy e-reader or tablet. Ive heard good things about kindles. But what is the compatibility like for a mac? will it be a pain in the but like my android?
Get an iPad. Once you have that, you may not really need to spend the money on an iPhone, since the iPad will do everything the iPhone does (and be easier to see doing it) except make phone calls, and even an Android phone can do that.

I have a Macbook Pro that I bought new in August of 2011. It's been wonderful up until now. Last week, I was watching a lot of Netflix for a day, but then it began making a tiny crackling noise when I started my computer. It wasn't really bothersome, but then it's escalated into a grinding noise. A loud grinding noise. I haven't been watching Netflix and barely use any of my applications. My RPMs vary when I'm idle and can go up to 5000. Sometimes, it falls to as low as 1600.
I went to the Genius Bar today and the technician did two diagnostics to test the HD and the parts as a whole. Everything was fine. I was like, ***. Anyways, I asked if there could be anything done for the fans because I was willing to pay (I'm out of warranty). But he said they couldn't DO ANYTHING. That I would have to deal with the annoying noise. I called up Apple and told them what happened and she said that there was nothing else that could be done.
I am so ****** because I did pay good money for this product and I expect to have the option to repair, ESPECIALLY since I'm willing to pay for the repair. Can anyone tell me what to do? Did anyone ever have this problem?I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.

2012 Macbook Pro freezing up and giving the pinwheel all the time.
Last week my macbook pro started freezing up whenever I am doing something. Whether i am just surfing the web, going through my folders, or in photoshop it just starts freezing up. When i have pandora the audio will cut in and out saying that shockwave has crashed. I went into my activity monitor and everything seemed to be normal, no applications taking up to much memory. Then i ran a complete hardware check and nothing was wrong. I then reset my osx and it took almost 24 hours but didn't change everything. Then yesterday i repaired my disk permisions and that fixed it. For a couple hours and now i am back to having my computer freeze. I am currently running osx 10.8.2. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or should i just take it into the apple store and see if they can help?
Here's a nice XLab article on SBBD's.

Macbook Pro will not print on HP 7310 all-in-one
I recently opened my HP all-in-one 7310 printer/fax/scanner, its been in storage for a for years but is bran new.
I could always just plug in my USB and print completely fine.
However I wanted to scan a document, the HP all-in-one needed me to install the HP image gallery.
So I did, now I can scan documents to my computer, but can't print.
I have tired re-installing the HP program, downloading new drivers, unplugging and restarting my macbook and HP all-in-one.
Please Help, any tips would be appreciatedHi Eric,
A Quick fix , works sometime.
1. create a new user account with Admin rights
2. install the new drivers and try from here.
3. If it works , then go back to your old account install software named Onyx clean the caches and re install the latest drivers...
Good Luck... -
I was given a early 08 Mbp that the battery had expanded and I replaced the battery and at first it turned on and was working fine then I tried to reset it for the settings to take effect and now it's not turning on. I tried taking out the battery and it does nothing. Nor will it run without the battery while plugged in.
Try a #1 SMC Reset and see associated power on links here

Instant Hotspot not working on MacBook Pro Early 2011?
Hi and tnxs for reading.
I have a MacBook Pro Early 2011, and I cannot figure out how to use Instant Hotspot.
It is regularly working as standard hotspot by activating it on my iPhone and checking the iPhone WiFi Hotspot from WiFi menu, but otherwise is not available after the iPhone goes on stby...exactly as before.
Is this a limitation like the major part of Continuity?
Tnxsnot working for me either and i have iphone6 and macbook mid 2014 so it cant be a hardware problem for me at least....

You can find answers to both at OWC as well as installation tutorials. I think you will find 1 to 1.5 TBs are the largest.

My MacBook Pro(early 2011) not turning on
I've had this mac for 5 months already, hasn't given me a problem until now. It was working fine when I used it this morning. I left it plugged in and went to work. So when I came back from work, I tried to turn it on but it doesn't. Every time I press the power button, I can hear the hard drive trying to turn on but it turns off immediately. It indicates that the battery is full but it doesn't turn on. I recently upgraded the ram from 4gb to 8gb about 2 months ago.
Is it a hard drive failure? Ram? or should I give it some time and then try again? Or take it to an Apple Store?
Thanks

Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
