Does the MBP Late 2006 output 1080p @ 24 Hz?

I'm planning to hook up my MBP Late 2006 model to a Panasonic plasmascreen.
Since the tv supports 1080p/24p Im wondering if the MBP can output 1080p @ 24 Hz? Im planning to use a DVI-I -> HDMI cable.
Thanks in advance

I just read that DVI does not support Deep Color:
(From Wikipedia)
Features specific to HDMI (such as remote-control, audio transport, xvYCC, and deep-color) are not usable in devices that only support DVI signalling. However, many devices can output HDMI over a DVI output (e.g., ATI 3000-series and NVIDIA GTX 200-series video cards),[2] and some multimedia displays may accept HDMI (including audio) over a DVI input. In general, exact capabilities vary from product to product.
Can the MBP output HDMI over the DVI output?

MBP (late 2006) – diplay sleep issue

My MBP (late 2006) has a following problem:
Often (about 2 times of 3), when I wake the computer from sleep mode, the display lights up for a second and then turns off. Rest of the system runs normally; I can turn volume and keyboard lights up and down so on.
If I put the computer to sleep again (by shutting the cover) and let it sleep for a couple of minutes, I can try again to wake it up, but usually I just give it the hard boot. This is really annoying,

Matt,
When this happened to my Late 2007 MBP, I could not find out what was happening until I looked at the system log. It showed that, upon waking, the MBP was trying to connect the wireless network at a hotel I visited several weeks before and miles away.
I opened System Preferences > Network > Airport and clicked the "Advanced" button. The first tab has a list of networks that was getting full. I cleaned out the list, leaving only our home network and that of a museum where I volunteer. Then I unchecked "Remember any network this computer has joined."
Very simple to check, and I've had no sleep issues since.

Fan noise when tilting the MBP (Late 2008)

When I tilt my new MBP to the front or to the side (maybe 30 to 50°), it makes a louder noise than usual. Thus, this also occurs when I put the MBP on a notebook stand. I suppose, it comes from a fan. Another MBP I tried, did not make this noise.
When the notebook is just standing even on a table, I hear this buzzing sound we can read about in another thread. But really quiet. I have to put my ear quite close to the keyboard.
And I hear a quiet and deeper unbalanced sound. But this could also come from the hard drive.
Is the phenomenon I described a problem or could it turn into one? Might this noise (these noises) even get louder or might some part fail? Do some of you also hear this noise (these noises) on their MBP or MB?
As I feel that no device is abolutely perfect, I am a bit worried about getting the MBP exchanged. Everything else seems to be fine. None of the typical and widespread problems.
Is the mentioned phenomenon something I do not have to worry about too much and that can be repaired without any problems at a later date at a local store?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your answers!
Unfortunately we do not have the same service infrastructure in Germany as over here Apple distributes its products primarily through premium resellers. The original Apple stores are just starting in Europe. But the resellers have their own Apple certified service technicians. I hope the fan replacement really doesn't take longer than one workday.
Can each of the fans inside the MBP be replaced easily? Even the one on the graphic card? How many fans are in there?
Is it possible that this buzzing sound doeas not occur all the time?
This deeper unbalanced noise seems to come from another source. Somehow you could say it is a pulsation. Can you hear this noise as well?
Would you suggest me to get the MBP exchanged (maybe for a device with other problems) or repaired?

What is the best Workflow to output 1080p as a 720P video?

Hi all,
I have DSLR video shot at 1080P. I knew the final product would need to be 720P which was fine since I wanted to be able to move (dolly, zoom in or out) the full sized 1080p clips in the 720P timeline.
The problem I am seeing is that the video exports much softer than the original 1080P footage.
So if any of you have a good workflow of how you would perform this talk, I would love it if you could share it with me.
Some of the clips I am allowing FCPX to "fit" the 1080P footage to the 720P frame, other clips I am using at the native 1080P size (larger than the 720P timeline) and doing the post production moves (dolly, zoom in, zoom out)
The 720P video will end up on Vimeo.
Thanks for any advice,
Matt

Easiest way:
Share > Vimeo
on the share dialog ... next to the last line -> uncheck Set size automatically and select HD 720p Video Sharing
If you need access before exporting to vimeo:
Go back out to the Projects pane and with your video selected:
If you want to keep your original 1080 format as well then duplicate the project
in the inspector, select the Properties pane.
at the bottom of the pane is a wrench icon -> click it.
reset your video properties to 720HD (you may have to settle for 30p rate.)
double click your newly resized video
"Share" > Export as usual

How well does the MBP work for gameplay?

Now I know what you're thinking. If I'm solely looking for a gaming computer than I should get a computer solely for gaming, but this is not the case. I would just simply like to play World of Warcraft occasionally. The game is pretty intensive. I'm willing to upgrade the ram to 8gb, but that won't really drastically change the gameplay. How good is the gamecard that comes with it or should I upgrade it? If I can even upgrade it. What's the fps? All that stuff. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jesse,
I'm thinking you might have posted this question in the wrong forum. This is the MacBook Air forum, in your title you ask about the MBP and in your question you ask about going to 8GB of RAM. The MacBook Air does not support upgrading the RAM, maximum of 4GB. In addition the MacBook Air is commonly abreviated as MBA.
If there's been a mix up and you're legitimately asking about the Air, here's my impressions of it -
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15682909#15682909
For what it's worth, the GPU in the 13" MBP is identical to the one in the 11" & 13" MBA. Although the 11" MBA allocates slightly less system RAM.
World of Warcraft, as you know, can run reliably on some pretty old machines. It definitely runs just fine on the Intel HD 3000, in the fair-to-good category. I can't say I was thrilled with the performance in a 25-man Firelands raid last week but it's acceptable.

Does the MBP use MXM?

MXM is a system which allows you to change the video card in a notebook. I know it voids the warrenty, but does anyone know if the MBP uses the technology? The iMac has been using it since 2005 no one has tried changing the video card in any of the Macs because custom video card wouldn't work with Mac OSX because it only has driver support for the video cards that Apple used or has used in any of its Macs. It would work through Boot Camp, though.

Okay, thanks that's what I thought. It was proven that the iMac has the MXM technology, though. Apple even released driver updates for the MXM technology:

If I charge my iPod Touch with an unplugged MacBook Pro, does the MBP discharge more quickly?

It's just a doubt.

It simply would not be smart to charge your iPod from your MacBook Pro when the MBP is unplugged from the main power source. It will quickly discharge your battery - yes, VISIBLY (whatever that may mean) - possibly putting your MBP into deep hibernation mode since the battery will be quickly drained.

Does the MBP support the 'Trust Wireless Bluetooth PC Audio System BT-9300'

Hi, I have just ordered my MBP from apple which won't be delivered until the end of March 2008.
I want to be able to wirelessly transmit the sound from my MBP to my HiFi or other similar audio system, without using any bulky devices.
The 'Trust Wireless Bluetooth PC Audio System BT-9300' offers exactly what I am looking for, but does not state if it is compatible with MacBook Pro's.
Does anyone have any information which might help me out?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
uklady.
Message was edited by: uklady

Every time I've tried to use Trust stuff it's been flakey, they do not accept the existence of Apple or Mac OS X in general so it may not be the best choice...
It should also be noted that audio over BlueTooth isn't exactly brilliant - perhaps an Airport Express would answer your problem?

Does the mbp have a tv tuner built-in?

hi,
i'm on the verge of buying a mbp for college/university this year.
i just wanted to ask if it was possible to watch TV on the laptop.
i know you can watch on demand tv services, such as the bbc's iplayer service, but i wanted to know if you could watch live tv.
please could you let me know asap.
thanks.

crafty_me,
The Macbook Pro does not have a TV tuner. You'll need something like EyeTV.

Does the MBP support Blu-ray?

Didn't want to ruin my MBP by inserting a Blu-ray movie in it, so I thought I'd ask here first. I use my PS3 for gaming/Blu-rays (which I ♥) but would be nice to take some of my movies on the go with me. Thanks.

The Apple drive won't play or burn Blu-ray, if required an external drive and Roxio Toast will work.

Garageband/photoshop users: how does the MBP handle them well?

since these are important apps for me before i buy
can any of you pros tell me how its handling
complex songs/photo files, RAW imaging and the like.
im sure im not the only one interested in this area.
is it faster and more powerful than its predecessors?
thanks
gl

Garageband will be fine, since it's already Intel Native. Photoshop however is not and will run under Rosetta. If you are a heavy photoshop user you will notice the speed difference.

Why does the MBP manual warn you from using glass cleaner on your display?

I think the title says it all ...
Thanks for your answers!
null

I think the main reason is that there can be a lot of things on the market passing for glass cleaner the world over and Apple has no way of knowing what a user might end up applying, so it's safest for them to say use water, which by the way isn't such a bad idea.
Also to consider, a lot of glass cleaners come in spray bottles. There are risks to using this type of applicator around a computer. One risk for example is the nozzle isn't pointing at the screen, or is partially clogged, and it squirts errantly, like into the keyboard. Another risk is that too large an amount come out of the applicator and a big drip runs down the screen and goes behind the bezel where it can do a lot of harm.
If you do use a glass cleaner, especially from a spray bottle, always apply it to the cloth you are using as a wipe rather than try to apply it to the screen. And if you use a spray bottle, move far enough away from the computer when you spray into the cloth so that a bunch of aerosol droplets don't settle all over the computer.

Does the video adapter output both S-Video and Composite simultaneously?

I have a multi-zone receiver which converts S-Video to component for the main zone and passes S-Video signals through to zone 2 but does not convert them to composite which is how that zone is set up. I solved a similar problem with my DVD player by connecting both the component output and composite output of the DVD player to the receiver allowing high quality viewing in the lounge room and passable viewing in the bedroom.
I realise the quality from the adapter is questionable particularly for composite but I'm still interested if both S-Video and composite signals are output from the MBP 17" via the adapter simultanesouly.
Thanks,
Max.

I have a follow-up question which may help answer the original question. Does the MBP have to detect the external display when connected via S-Video/Composite in the same way that it has to when connected via DVI? My Dell notebook had so much trouble detecting composite and S-Video connections that eventually I gave up so I'm a little "once bitten twice shy" on this. If the MBP doesn't attempt to detect the external display via S-Video or composite then it must output both S-Video and Composite signals continuously (which would be great).
Thanks,
Max.

MBP Late 2008 Hard Drive Questions

Hi,
I have used PC most of my life and have used Mac OS when related to graphics and video, i find both to have their own benefits. I finally bought my first mac, it got delivered yesterday, the macbook pro late 2008, i got it on a good sale which however limited me to get the 320GB 5400rpm model, and i actually was aiming to get 320GB 7200rpm model. Now that i have this laptop, i wanted to install a new 320GB 7200 rpm hard drive since this laptop model allows you to do that yourself without voiding the warranty. In order to do so, i got this and plan to use my current 5400 rpm drive as a USB:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Hitachi/DIY0A57547F8/
first of all, as someone new to mac, and even though i have been super impressed by the quality of this product, my first disappointment is the fact that apple offers you to easily replace the hard disk in the mbp but does not sell the hard disk at the apple store or on phone, or allow you to bring the laptop in for HD replacement, and expects you to fill this nice beautiful laptop with third party products, (i wanted a hard disk with the an apple sticker on it just like my current one has - i know its a Hitachi... but apple has the thick black apple sticker on it!! ), i was on phone with apple for 30 mins and they eventually couldn't sell it to me after being confused about it, all they could offer me was a replacement laptop with a 10% restocking fee charge (approx $250). i contacted a mac authorized service center and they quoted me "$332" for that hard disk from apple (Hitachi 7k320), its at $95 (and a -$20 rebate) at buy.com - without the apple sticker, same model.
now that disappointment aside, i am still optimistic with my choice and have the following questions, please correct me if any of my understanding anywhere in this post is incorrect:
1. when i install my new hard disk, what type of disk formatting should i use? - i want to be able to boot from windows xp x64 professional, i will be using it almost as much as i will use mac osx (for graphics n video), since i want to be able to run some particular PC applications on full speed that i constantly use and also play some PC games (i know many people here may argue that i dont need windows at all, however i assure you i have some good necessity for it ). Will the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatting allow me to boot from xp later? any tips related to this area?
2. There are 2 ways to install my new hard disk.
Route 1: http://eshop.macsales.com/techcenter/techtips/sparedrive.cfm
Route 2 (considering since my mbp is new and fresh out of the box 1 day ago): http://eshop.macsales.com/techcenter/index.cfm?page=/manuals/mac/clondata.html
which one would you recommend?
3. Once i have the hitachi 7k320 installed, and the 5400rpm that came with the product removed, should i expect any different or limited service/warranty from apple care? if anything ever goes wrong in the mbp (except the hard disk), i can send it to apple with the replaced hard disk in it and it will all be acceptable and OK, right?
4. Has anyone here installed a Hitachi 7k320 drive in a MBP Late 2008? if yes, were there any sort of noise/vibration issues after installation?
5. What brand would you prefer for an internal drive for the MBP Late 2008? it originally comes with a Hitachi.

1. Prep the new drive as follows:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one (1.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete your OS X installation. You can restore other pre-bundled software using the Install Pre-bundled Software installer that is on the OS X Installer Disc One.
In order to install Windows you will need to use Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder to create the Windows partition on your hard drive and assist with the installation. You can install the 32-bit version of XP w/SP2 or SP3 or Vista 32-bit or 64-bit. Windows drivers are included on your OS X Installer Disc One and should be installed after you boot into Windows.
If you must use the 64-bit version of XP you cannot use Boot Camp, but you could use VM software such as Parallels or VM Fusion. See the following:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not yet fully developed for the Mac - some features are not yet implemented - but it does work otherwise.
6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.
As for warranty if you read yours you will find the caveat that if you perform a DIY replacement your warranty is not affected unless you cause consequential damage in which case the warranty will not cover that damage.
I have installed several Hitachi drives in my laptops, but not the current model. I've no complaints.

Is the MBP noisy?

Hello,
I've been reading around and I have can't find an answer for this question.
Does the new late 2013 15" Retina MBP with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics card have noisy fans that comes on when opening pictures and full-screening videos? I've been on Google and found people complaining about the fan kicking in when they open pictures and full screen videos.
Apparently, this is only on the 15" MBP with the separate NVIDIA graphics card. I really want to know because I'm thinking of getting one, and the last thing I want is a noisy notebook, as my current laptop is annoyingly noisy.
Thanks

Hi T,
When any notebook compute gets hot enough, the fans come on, and they make noise, otherwise the computer would fry itself. So yes, when that MBP gets hot enough, the fans will speed up. How hot it gets determines how fast the fans go and how loud they will be.
