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.

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.

Syncing iPhone and iPad with Mac Book Pro
Is it possible to sync my iPhone and iPad to my Mac Book Pro and have the same screens and apps? I see where all apps appear in my iPad syncing window, but I cannot make it exactly like my iPhone... Is this possible? Thank you!
Hi Kristi,
Connect your iPad and your iPhone to your MBPro. Launch iTunes. Under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window you can select either device then select Apps from the menu.
You can drag home screens and rearrange apps right from that window. Very smart idea on your part to do that. That way it's the same (or close to) on both devices.

I would like to 'see and hear' my mac book pro output on my TV how do I ?
I have a new Mac book Pro and I would like to 'see and hear' the Audio and video on my television. My tv has 2 audio phono RCA jacks on the side and 1 video RCA jack on the side. It also has a s-video as well on the side (I have never used s-video.) My Mac Book Pro came with a DVI to VGA little cable adapter but how do I use this to get to my TV inputs? Do I have to buy from Apple, (or somewhere else), that cable called DVI to Video Adapter? but then that is only for the video? How do I get the audio out? From the headphone socket? And if this is the only way why hasn't Apple made their DVI out socket a dual purpose output ie: Video AND audio, like the mini DVI for the G4 powerbooks? Please help. If anyone has also come across this problem. I want to see my timeline in FCP on the TV before I put it to tape. Thanks.

You need a DVI or VGA to svideo adapter. They aren't cheap.
but then that is only
for the video? How do I get the audio out? From the
headphone socket?
Yup.
And if this is the only way why

Because DVI carries only video. Apple is using a new video card in the MBP with different abilities.
Please help. If anyone has also come

Most people doing this are using TV's with DVI/HDMI inputs.

External Hard Drives and iTunes, on Mac Book Pro and PC?
If you transfer your iTunes library from PC to an external hard drive, can you use itunes, from the external hard drive when you plug it into Mac Book Pro?
I'm very confused about this!
All my music is on PC and I want to save it to my external hard drive. But I will no longer be using that PC afterwards.
I would like to use itunes on my Mac but it only has 128 Gb, not enough storage for my iTunes library.
So, can you use your transfered itunes library from the PC to external drive on your Mac?
Another question I have is, when your itunes is on your external hardrive can you still sync, make playlists and add new songs?
I don't know very much about external hard drives, but I need the space.No. Likely the drive is presently formatted NTFS which is no good on a Mac unless you want to buy spcial software to enable it (given your scenario it is not worth it). The best format for Mac use is MacExtended, but your PC cannot write files to that. The intermediate solution is to reformat the drive to DOS FAT, but as I already said this isn't ideal.
If it were me I would:
1) With the PC copy the entire iTunes folder to the current external, presumably formatted as NTFS.
2) Buy the new second drive I know I will need for backing up both my computer and my old external drive. Format it as Mac extended. In the long run you want to configure this for use with Time Machine but I can't help you with that because I can't run TM. For the time being you are using it to temporarily store files.
3) Using the Mac make sure the new drive is formatted to Mac extended.
4) On the Mac copy the entire iTunes folder from the old drive to the new.
5) With the Mac reformat the old drive to Mac extended.
6) With the Mac copy the entire iTunes folder from the new drive to the old one which is now in the Mac friendly format. Start iTunes with the option key held down as described earlier.
Others may be able to help with some details on formatting drives because I use an older system. I know with my system version when you reformat or partition you lose all files on a drive which is why you have to have somewhere to temporarily store your library. I think they did some changes but I am not sure of the details. -
the time capsule is giving flashed amber light and i cant connect it to my mac book pro. i want to use it with the time machine to make backup for my mac. please advice me.
To do the setup, plug it in via ethernet.. do not try to setup over wireless.. Once it is setup you can plug the TC into the network and use wireless.
Most likely you will use the TC in bridge to an existing modem router.. but we cannot help as you have no details of the network setup.
I do recommend in the setup of the TC you use SMB type names.. that means, short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.. as later Mac OS do have issues with long names, spaces and that apple shocker, the apostrophe. -

Wireless equipment and setup for Mac Book Pros
I've recently bought a Mac Book Pro after having used PC's since the 80's. Like it so much, I ordered a second machine for my wife.
Question: Using my Linksys wireless router used originally with our PC's, I've made several attempts to wireless network the two Macs using our same DSL connection but have failed each time.
Can someone tell me what I need in terms of equipment and also where to find the instructions to set up both Macs via the wireless mode.
Apparently, I'm clueless.
Thank you.
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)Your Macs should work with the same wireless equipment as your Windows PCs.
But, in my experience, there have been some problems with some versions of OS X and some versions wireless router firmware - specifically in the area of WPA wireless security.
The first thing I would try is reconfiguring the Linksys to run an open network, with no security. If the MacBook Pro is able to connect correctly, reconfigure the Linksys with a new SSID (wireless network name) and enable WEP security. If that works correctly, reconfigure the Linksys with a new SSID and WPA2 security.
I suggest using different SSID's for these tests because the Mac saves information about the wireless connections based on the SSID; using different SSID's for the different security settings reduces the chance the Mac will get confused by the security changes.
