Do the MacBook Pros have a different battery than PowerBooks?

I have a 17” PowerBook G4. Bought a 2nd battery for it a few months ago to get more battery life and have a spare for flights. Just ordered a new MacBook Pro and will sell my PowerBook afterwards. I’m assuming I cannot use the new battery from the PowerBook in the MacBook, but thought I'd ask before sending the buyer two batteries.

thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated.

Does the Macbook Pro have a program to run Windows built in? If not, what is the best program to do so. Purchasing a new Mac.

No. The Mac does not have anything to run Windows
You must install either virtualizrion software or use BootCamp to create a partition for Windows. Once you have done that then you must install Windows.

A retina MBP will require an external DVD drive.

Does the macbook pro have the capacity to print direct to blank cd?

does the macbook pro have the capacity to print directly to blank cd? If not- can you suggest an add-on product that will work with the mac pro?

Unless you have a printer that can feed and print on a physical CD then you cannot. This isn't a function of the computer. Printers can usually print onto labels of any sort, but not directly onto the disc itself.

Does the macbook pro have a 'dv terminal'?

I have macbook pro and panasonic dv video camera. Panasonic manual says I can use a dv interface cable to connect the camera to the computer if the computer has a dv terminal. Does the mac have a dv terminal? is it one of the firewire ports?
many thanks

Hi nandi,
always learning something new here: I have never heard the term 'dv terminal' but a quick goodgle search showed that this is another name for a 4-pin FireWire port.
So since the MacBook Pro has two FireWire ports the answer is YES.
But be aware that the Firewire ports on the MacBook Pro are full-sized ports either 6-pins for Firewire400 or 9-pins for Firewire800.
So the usual 4pins connector for Camcorder does not fit.

Does the macbook pro have a password protect feature?

i'm debating whether or not I need the Kensington ComboSaver Notebook Lock for college. if the macbook pro has a password-protect feature... maybe i don't need the lock

How would they know there was a password? Are you hoping to be able to say, "Excuse me, sir, but please don't steal my laptop, it's password protected." A thief wouldn't care, even if they slowed down to listen... they'd just erase your hard drive and sell the machine. (Or maybe not even erase the hard drive.)
Password protection is possible on many levels, some more secure than others, but none will discourage theft. Password protection's role is to protect against things ranging from casual snooping to determined spying, and the method used determines what can be protected against. For true data security, you must use encryption.
However, if you're looking to keep your laptop from getting stolen, you need to simply keep it close, or locked up when not adequately close. A security cable would be a good investment for leaving a computer unattended in a dorm room or apartment.

Does the macbook pro have a cd drive?

Hello i was thinking about getting the macbook pro and was wondering if it still came with a CD/ DVD player drive?

Also, the MBP 13 has 1280x800 resolution, not the higher 1440x900 resolution of the MBA.
I bought a MBA 13 last month; it died after 10 days, was returned, and I replaced it with a MBP 13 (which is on sale at Fry's Electronics this week for $999). It's a tough call between the two. The speed of the SSD and the lighter weight of the MBA are nice; built-in optical drive and 500gb HDD, Ethernet port, both USB ports on the same side, and a slightly more rounded case profile are assets of the MBP. At the same price, I would probably go for the MBA, but with a $200 price differential, the MBP was too good to pass up.

How much RAM does the MacBook Pro have?

I need at least 4GB RAM preferably 8GB RAM.... it is for school and i have many games and scrapbook tools for my electives.... please help.

Are you planning on buying a MacBook Pro or do you already have one? Apple sells MBPs (non-Retina) with either 4GB or 8GB of RAM. The problem with buying RAM from Apple is that it's so expensive. If you ordered a 4GB machine, for instance, you could upgrade it yourself to 8GB or 16GB without voiding the warranty.
So if you're buying - go with a 'base' 4GB model and buy the RAM and install it yourself.

Why do the new retina MacBook pros have less processing power than the older models? I am looking to get one, which needs to be powerful.

I noticed that the new MacBook pros with retina displays have less processing power, and memory that then older non retina 15 inch. Why is that?

Are you perhaps talking about a similarly spec'd 15" current gen non-retina against a 15" current retina? If so, then yes, there is a very small subtle difference when benchmarks are measured. It's possible that Apple is downclocking the chips just a tad to keep temperatures in check, but at the same time, it could also be all the extra pixels taking up more processing power and causing the small difference.
I too have seen the same articles from benchmarking websites when the retinas came out.

Does the MacBook Pro have an audio input?

Looking to take output from external source (cable box) and run into my MacBook Pro. Can I do this? What application would I run on the computer to listen to the input?

Hi starbux48,
Yes, on the 17" MBP you have a dedicated line and line out. Take a look at the sides of your MBP, and you should see two 1/8" jacks, one has a headphone picture and the other something else. This "something else" is your audio input. Just get a cable that has an 1/8" jack on one side, and stereo RCA (assumed for a cable box) on the other. I am not very familiar with Macs and audio recording, but I would imagine that whatever you intend to use to record will have a setting to select your MBP's audio input as the source. Good luck!

Does the macbook pro have adobe flash?

Just wondering if Macbook Pro Retina uses adobe flash?

OS X does not come with Flash Player, but you can install it from the Adobe website > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
After installing Flash Player, you will be able to watch Flash content. Keep Flash updated to the most recent version, because it has got a lot of security issues

Does the macbook pro have an equalizer for streaming pandora

I'm new to the world of Macbook's and was wanting to know if there was an equalizer or some sound settings I could use when I am listening to Pandora radio?

I found these instructions in German for a system wide EQ on your Mac: http://www.maclife.de/mac/software/betriebssystem/os-x-systemweiten-equalizer-ei nrichten-und-verwenden
If you don't understand German and online translation tools don't do the job, this is the short version*:
You download two programs:
- An open source program called soundflower (can be found on google code)
- Apple's AU Lab (can be downloaded here after creating a free developer's account)
After installing soundflower (reboot required), go to your system preferences -> sound. Under 'Output' select Soundflower (2ch). This routes all system sounds through soundflower.
Next install AU Lab. Turn the system volume up to max, then open AU Lab. In the window that opens, under 'Factory Configurations' select 'Stereo In/Stereo Out'. Under 'Input Settings' you select 'Soundflower (2ch)', under 'Output Settings' you select Built-in Output. This makes all sounds from Soundflower go through AU Lab, and then send them back to your system output.
Click 'Create Document', the window will close and a new window with some controls will appear. Under 'Audio 1' select 'Effects' -> 'Apple' -> 'AUGraphicEQ'. Adjust as you wish. Save the settings somewhere.
You can reopen these settings by going to preferences in AU Lab, under 'Documents'.
IMPORTANT: If you close AU Lab now, your system will remain silent. This can be changed by simply selecting your original audio output in the system preferences for sound.
*Finally, the disclaimer: I take no responsibility for any damage you may occur upon following these instructions. I simply made a short version of the instructions in German that are linked above. It's not my idea, and I do not fully understand everything here either, but I use it and it's great for stuff like spotify. Not sure if this is the solution to your BT problem. For everyone else that does not have or want Boom, this works well.

Does the macbook pro have an alarm clock?

I would like to set an alarm time to wake me in the morning. Can the mac do this? Will it be able to ring if the computer is asleep?

No, but you will find lots of third party utilities for that. Look for them at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads .
