  • Using an external hard drive to connect the camera to the Mac Book Pro

    I am about three weeks away from a 9 to 4 pin firewire cable. In the meantime, I am logging and capturing from my Canon AX HI through my external hard drive. I am not super amazed at the quality of the image, it's noisy.
    I am using HDV tapes, and I don't beleive the lighting should be causing the issue.
    Does anyone know if using the external hard drive to connect the camera to my Mac Book Pro is compromising the quality of the image? Can I expect a beautiful strong image on a lap top?
    Thanks for any help.

    There is ZERO quality loss when you capture via firewire. It is a digital transfer of files...that's it. The issue you have is that you are trying to judge the quality of your image based on what you see with your computer monitors, and that is simply the LAST thing you should be doing.
    And since this is HDV, the only way to monitor that is with an HD card or I/O device, and an HD monitor or TV. Like the Matrox MXO2 mini or AJA I/O Express mini and HDTV.

  • Can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    I retract my previous "No." If you can live with limited performance (slow refresh/choppy action video/no gaming) on the second external monitor, you could use a USB video adapter and a DVI-HDMI adapter to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

    Just a note about the system information that appears below your post: iOS 4.3.3 does not run on Macs, only on iPods, iPads and iPhones. When you're posting about your MBP, it would be more useful to those responding to know which version of Mac OS X you're running. Doesn't matter for purposes of this post, but something to remember for future posts.

  • Problem connecting Samsung Galaxy SII to Mac book Pro

    Hello. I have issue with connecting Samsung Galaxy SII to Mac book Pro Late 2011! When i connect phone to Mac via usb, phone makes sound but nothing happens. Even if i open Transfet tool. Problem is not in Phone or wire as on another computers like my MinMac it works fine. Also on Windows side all is ok. Mac book Pro USB ports also are ok as it finds and open my iPhone5! Is there possibility that there is some faults with USB drivers in Mac book Pro! How can i reset or restart usb drivers if fault is there! What else you can suggest to try?
    Thanks!
    Best regards,

    i did went to Samsung Support: here is the result of it:
    Isabella: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
    Visitor: Hello Isabella. How are you today ?
    Isabella: I am fine. Thank you for asking.
    Isabella: Please proceed with the query.
    Visitor: I hope you can help me fix connecting issue for Galaxy S II with my Mac Book Pro late 2011. It was working till some day and now it does not recognise it when i connect phone via USB. I should note that on Windows on same machine or on my Mini Mac it works fine. so it can't be problem in wire or usb ports. Could not find answer in Apple forums and in forums they did suggest to turn here! I hope you can help me!
    Isabella: I understand that you are finding difficulties connecting device to Mac. Am I correct?
    Visitor: yes. but only to one specific Mac. as to others it connects without a problem.
    Isabella: Thank you for the details.
    Visitor: i think problem is in driver only i can't find how to manually remove from Mac
    Isabella: May I know the model number of your phone? To know the model number of the phone, please tap on Home>> Applications>> Settings>> About phone.
    Visitor: GT-I9100
    Isabella: Thank you for the model number.
    Isabella: However as you are able to connect the device to windows and Mini Mac then there is no issue with the device. This seems to be an issue with the Mac.
    Isabella: However we in Samsung US do not have the instructions on uninstalling drivers on Mac.
    Isabella: I request you to contact apple for support related to Mac.
    Visitor: Yess it is probably issue with drivers on that particular Mac. Might be you can guide me to location where Kies or phone driver is stored on mac? I then will try to manually delete is from system or replace from another machine
    Isabella: The model number you have provided is an international model and we do not have any information on the device you are referring to.
    Isabella: I would have surely provided you with the information if we had the information available with us.
    Visitor: If you don't know might be you could escalate to some higher level ?
    Isabella: It was a pleasure assisting you. Thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. If you have a minute, please click on the blue “X close” button to receive a transcript of your chat and fill out a brief survey to help us serve you better. Have a wonderful day!
    Chat session has been terminated by the Samsung Agent.
    So i was terminated and left without answer. But i did not expect anything else from Samsung Support..
    So might be someone of you know where drivers are located? i could try to copy them from one machine to another manualy!!!

  • HT202663 each time I go to mail it asks me to join a wireless network. I choose the one I have and dont know why I dont stay connected. I took my mac book pro to vermont and joined the network at my house there, when I got back to ny I joined here but it

    my mac book pro would connect automatically to my wireless network in ny. then I went to vermont with my computer and connected to my wireless network there. when I got back to ny I changed it back to my wireless connection here but it wont stay connected. each time i go on mail it asks me to join a network. it hink i did all the right steps but it wont stay joined.

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article.  
    Step 2
    If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
    Step 4
    This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present. 
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • I can't get past the password grey screen on my new Mac Book Pro.

    I have a new Mac Book Pro.  I transferred info from my old computer, and when I went to log into the new one, it took me as far as the password screen, and I can get no farther. I click on my name, put in my password, and it jiggles...as if it is wrong.  News to me - as I used the same password that I have used for years on my computer. 
    I get a message that says, "If you forgot your password, you can reset it using your Apple ID."  There is a little arrow there, but when you press it, the message disappears, and nothing happens. 
    There is a guest profile set up, that apparently has a mystery password in it as well....  I am locked out of my new computer.  Very frustrated!!!

    Lanch Font Book located in HD > Applications
    Type Hoefler in the search field top right side of the Font Book window then select Ornaments.
    See there's anything that will work for you there.

  • Computer boots but screen in black 17" Mac Book Pro

    When I start up my Mac Book Pro 17" I hear the sound of start-up but don't see anything at all.  I hear the Skype program start but the screen remains black.  If I try to access the  laptop from the main computer wirelessly, I can see the desktop of the laptop but can't open any files - just can see folders.  Have tried to send an email with an attachment, but the attached file appear momentarily in the email message and then disappears.  Suggestions?

    If you have a late 2007 or early 2008 pre-unibody mac, you may have this problem:

    Good luck!

  • Want to connect my ViewSonic  to my mac book pro

    How do I connect my ViewSonic monitor to my macbook pro?

    You connect it to the computer's video port, using an adapter if needed. If the computer has a Thunderbolt port, use a Mini DisplayPort cable or adapter.

  • How do I connect a savin C3224 to Mac Book Pro?

    I just purchased a MacBook Pro 10.7.2 this weekend. I am trying to connect it to a Savin C3224 printer. I have downloaded the information from the Savin website but my mac still doesn't show the printer anywhere.  I am usually pretty computer savvy but this mac is brand new to me and I am having a really hard time.  Any help would be appreciated. Apparently I need step by step instructions.

    Is the savin printer compatible with Mac OS X 10.7? This is the latest driver:

  • Face Time Blanks out screen and freezes my Mac Book Pro

    When I use Face Time on my MacBook Pro, as soon as it connects, the screen goes blank with just the green camera light showing. I have to force a shutdown and start. Any ideas? I'm using 10.7.4 on a 15 inch MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7

    In System Preferences > keyboard > keyboard shortcuts, it tells you what the screenshot settings are.
    In addition, shift-cmd-4-spacebar followed by a mouse click will capture the in-focus window.
