Data Projector and new MacBook Pro 15"

I am about to take possession of a new MacBook Pro 15“
Which slot do I plug my data projector in?
I am a teacher and I use a data projector regularly but on looking at the new MBP I cannot see the usual plugs. Do I need to purchase new leads/cables?

I assume you are referring to the new unibody MacBook Pro. The unibody portables use the new mini displayport. http://www.apple.com/nz/macbookpro/features-15inch.html. Depending on your projector, you will need one of two adapters:
Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter

or
Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter

    As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
    Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

  • I've used a Hitachi multimedia projector with my previous MacBook with Snow Leopard but I can't get it to project data from my new MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

    My new MacBook Pro with 10.8.4 does not seem to work with my Hitachi multimedia projector which works find with my older MacBook running 10.6.8. Is there anything I can do to get the projector to recognize my Mac or is it the other way around? (It would be nice to just carry one machine instead of two. Besides it's not a good advertisement for the new MacBook Pro!

    Are you using the same cable and input connector with both systems?
    Are you using the same (or corresponding) settings on both systems?

  • How do I transfer my data to my new macbook pro using an external hard drive?

    I've already set up my new MacBook Pro is my issue. It asked me if I'd like to "Migrate" my stuff or use an external hard drive etc but at the time I didn't transfer my data from my old MacBook yet. I was going to manually do it later as I had to wait for my External hard drive to back my old Mac up. Now it's that time and I have no idea how to do it. I believe I've researched best of my ability.
    I feel like I'm asking a pretty dumb question. If I were to just drag all my programs out like my Adobe Suite on to my new macbook pro would that work? I feel like that's just too easy and incorrect. Please and thank you.

    The Adobe suite can be downloaded free, you dont have to copy it at all, under standard CS6 Adobe rules, if you own the suite, you get 2 computers "activated at any one time"  Make sure, if youre not using the older computer, you deactivate the software under the HELP menu in Adobe.
    format the new drive in disk utility ......APPLICATIONS.....UTILITIES.....DISK UTILITIES.......select the external drive and format (if its new and empty!!!) under the ERASE button with Mac OSX extended journaled
    copy all your important stuff from older computer , pics, files, documents, personal anything.
    most of you apps, i ASSUME you bought in the (other than Adobe software, or Office suite, etc etc,..... obviously) in the MAC APP store, so you can reload them on the new computer without copying them , makes things very easy......just open APP STORE, and download what you already bought.
    really the only important things , is copy all important work files, documents, pictures, personal ABC...XYZ......  obviously.
    the migration is about emails, contacts, etc etc etc, also data, just because you passed it by at the time doesnt mean you still cant do it,    go to the SEARCH at menu at top and type in MIGRATION ASSISTANT  to do it again , since you passed it by at first .
    the only thing you NEED / SHOULD copy is all your personal stuff........Applications need to be reinstall from either ONLINE download,.......or from the MAC APP STORE,........  you cant just copy the apps over (in most cases) and toss them onto the new computer
    Nahh, there are no dumb questions, just dumb mistakes because you DIDNT ask any questions, and we all make those here and there. 

  • Data migration to new macbook pro retina

    I just migrated my imac desktop 2007 to my new macbook pro 2013 (about 250gb) and all was well.  I then decided that there may be a few photos/contacts etc on my 2008 macbook pro which were not on the desktop, and migrated that to the new computer.  Now the new retina is just like the old macbook but the previous migration cannot be found.  My hope was to merge the two and delete anything which was a duplicate (95% of photos are in common on both computers for instance, and now have two copies of most on this retina, one hidden).  When I check my memory usage the new retina has about 500gb storage used so I know BOTH computers are now on this new retina but only one is visible.  How to merge all data from both on the new retina and delete all copies to go back to about 300gb storage?
    Help is much appreciated!

  • In transferring data to a new Macbook Pro it seems to have stopped making progress.

    In transferring data to a a new MacBook Pro from a MacBook using migration assistant, the progress seems to have stopped (for about 3 hours) and still shows 2 hours and 16 minutes remaining. The blue progress bar looks active but hasn't moved in the last 3 hours.

    There might be a problem with the directory on the old Mac.  Try verifying the old Mac's internal HD, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.
    Another option would be to transfer from Time Machine or "bootable clone" backups of the old Mac on an external HD.
    In either event, you'll want to start over.  See the green box in Problems after using Migration Assistant for instructions.

  • Transfering Data to a New MacBook Pro

    Getting a new MacBook Pro and want to transfer files from my older Quicksilver Desktop & Powerbook. I was told that I will need a special cable to do this with. Is that true? If so, do I need buy it from an Apple store or would Best Buy sell it?
    Thanks
    don

    You will need a Firewire 800 cable which can be procured at Apple, Best buy or online at OWC or Newegg.  Also read the attached link for procedures in transferring you data:

  • FCP and new MacBook Pro

    I've heard that Final Cut Pro will not work on the new Mac Book Pro laptops.
    Has anyone else heard this? It may take some time before they get an upgrade fror this.
    I'm keen to upgrade from my 17" Powerbook G4 to the new MacBook Pro for video editing, using photoshop and after effects etc. Has anyone else heard about speed improvement in this area?
    Thanks for any comment.
    EZ><

    Yes, I believe to some degree they needed to get something out there and this is filler. I've been wanting a new 15", but will continue to use my old one. I believe it is more pro than the new MBP. I am not one of those complainers, but I live by my pci slot, especially on location, and the express/34 situation is a nightmare right now. I've read a few posts on different forums about the fw400 port not getting enough power and it being traced to the built-in isight. I don't know if it's true, but wouldn't be surprised.

  • Internet problem with New Airport Extreme base and new Macbook Pro

    So I bought a Airport Extreme base station with my new Macbook pro.
    My desktop system uses a DSL modem which is connected to my computer via an ethernet cable. It works flawless. I can also unhook the hard ethernet connection from the desktop and connect it to the Macbook Pro with no problems.
    I then connected the ethernet cable from the DSL router to the WAN port on the Airport Base.
    I have no problem gettiing the Macbook pro to set itself up on the Airport Network. I can NOT, though, access the internet. I even tried to type in the IP address for the DSL modem while connected to Airport base and can not connect to modem. Does anyone have any advice? Is there a bridging function in the Airport Base that has to be activated?
    Another question. If I replace my current DSL Router with a wireless router, do I even need the airport base if all I want to do it connect to the internet with the laptop?
    Thanks,
    Danny

    Make sure you perform a complete power recycle when switching network components.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the DSL modem & AEBS. (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the DSL modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    If that doesn't resolve the problem, and your DSL ISP requires PPPoE for connectivity, you will need to set that up on your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) as follows:
    Connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility, check these settings:
    Internet tab
    - Connect Using: PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
    - Account Name: <ISP account name>
    - Change password: <ISP password>
    - Always stay connected (checked)
    - WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
    Another question. If I replace my current DSL Router with a wireless router, do I even need the airport base if all I want to do it connect to the internet with the laptop?
    No, the AEBS will no longer be required.

  • I used Migration Assistant to copy data to an new MacBook Pro from an old via my Time Capsule. When asked if to inherit time machine history on the new Mac, I mistakenly said no. How do I go back one step to say yes?

    There isn't enough space on the Time Capsule to create a separate backup of the data on the new MacBook. And I am reluctant to delete old backups of the old MacBook to create space to backup the new machine. This occurred about 3 weeks ago so the data on the two machines are now out of sync. If I start over by formatting the new MacBook and rerunning Migration Assistant to pull data from the Time Capsule, how do i preserve the last 3 weeks of data on the new MacBook, considering that I didn't keep track of which files changed in the last 3 weeks?

    All the rest of the stuff is where it should be.  As best I can tell. I have been going through my programs one at a time to see what works.  With the change in the OS (Launchpad? What the heck?) I am finding a significant number of my old programs are not working. Some I have found upgrades.  But without a working mail program, the machine is pretty useless for work.
    The Apple techies had me run through 3 hours of 'stuff' (holding down keys and restarting, etc, etc).  It still does not launch. I think we are waiting for a 'miracle', but I need to know now if they should just come get this piece of junk or if they really are able to find a solution in a timely manner.

  • How to transfer data to a new MacBook Pro?

    My wife has a 12" Power PC G4.
    Running OS 10.5.8.
    She is receiving a brand new MacBook Pro today from Apple.
    How do we transfer all her "everything" from the G4  to the new computer?
    Thx,
    Steve

    Avoid the "Transfer from another Mac" when you set the machine up.
    If you don't have or want to set up the networking for the Internet when settingup the machine, just click the "Other Network" button until you get the "I don't have a nework" option.
    Unless you want your name all over the computer and viewable to everyone on a network, I would avoid the registration screen (you can do it at Apple.com) and use a nickname in the setup.
    Since the G4 PPC machine is rather old and the processor is differnet, you don't want to use "Transfer to my Mac" feature. Can't use the PPC programs on the new Intel Mac's.
    Place files from the G4 onto a USB thumb drive and transfer them manually to the new machine.
    If you need a Office Suit product, LibreOffice is free and cross platform, Linux, OS X and Windows, reads/writes Office files and makes PDF's too.

  • Final Cut 4.5 and New MacBook Pro

    I've been out of the loop for a while. I had a 1.5ghz Powerbook and Final Cut HD, etc. I recently bought a new MacBook Pro and was suprised to see that I could not open Final Cut Pro anymore (says I don't have an AGP card). What're my options? Thanks

    You need the Intel version of FCS, which is version 2.
    Should run you about $499.00 when it ships next month.
    Apple has an inexpensive upgrade available for nearly fifteen months and was promptly displayed at its web site.
    That expires on March 19th.
    It pays to stay in the loop I guess.
    I'm less patient than Jim.

  • Airport express and new macbook pro

    my daughter has just purchased a new macbook pro and we have set up the airport express. her macbook tells her that she is connected to the airport express but she can not load safari.

    Hello Jodi Meyer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    How do you have the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) configured to get Internet access? That is, do you have it connected directly to another router or modem? If so, what is the make/model number of that other device?

  • 23" Cinema HD display and new MacBook Pro

    I bought my G5 and HD Cinema display in 2005 and am thinking of switching out the G5 for a MacBook Pro. Is there an adapter I can get to allow me to plug in my display to the new MacBook Pro?
    Thanks
    Q

    I have had this laptop since May and have had nothing but difficulty setting it up screens with it. The mac mini DVI port *** the big one. It is trash as nothing else is compatible with it.
    I bought a 24 inch Apple monitor for $999 and can only use this macbook with it. I have two other laptops and none of them are compatible with the new screen - frustrating.
    I have tried to hook up the mini DVi port of the MacBook Pro to my new 40 SONY Bravia 120hz LCD screen. It won't work! My three other Mac laptops do fine. In fact my 1992 laptop using mac os 9 works with the screen. The new Mac no way!
    I have bought 3 plugs to adapt to my multi screens, they had older DVI plugs. set up, now find that I need another one for the SONY. I had a mac tower G5 that I hooked up to 3 screens with no problems. Try to plug in the MacBook - crap it won't work.
    I am angry. I have a $999 monitor that I can only use with one laptop and now I have TV that won't work with the MacBook.
    I'm taking this POS back to the shop and buying a clone PC that will work.Mac are you listening - I shouldn't have to buy a new cord for every screen that I own!
    I was going to use the Mac Book pro as a server for music and movies by hooking it up to the SONY. THat was a bust too. I'm buying a Western Digital TV box it's cheaper than all of the cables that I need.
    Sorry Mac you have let me down with this compatibility issue. What were you thinking? Corner the market on stupid! Oh wait I'm the stupid one for trying to stay true to Mac and spending $3000 plus on a stand alone non compatible system.
    I have a 24" screen that is not compatible with any of my other computers because MAC doesn't make patch boxes and I have MAC Book Pro that I can't use with my SONY.
    Shop very carefully before you choose this model of screen and mac book.

  • Wireless keyboard A1016 and new MacBook Pro

    I have searched but can't find whether my old Apple wireless keyboard (white case) is compatible with my new MacBook Pro. My computer finds the keyboard but then asks for a passcode and it doesn't connect. Maybe I need a firmware update??

    {quote}Thank you for your help.{quote}
    No problem. I love my white plastic Bluetooth keyboard with the NUMERIC KEYPAD! I plan on using until I die or Apple offers another Bluetooth keyboard with the numeric keypad. I'm sure there are lots of others that feel the same way.
