Getting 2650x1600 output from my MacBook Pro?

I've got a brand-new MacBook Pro 15-incher with the nVidia GT 330m card. I've also got a brand-new 30-inch HP ZR30w monitor with *native res. of 2560x1600*. My problem is that when I hook up the MacBook Pro to the monitor's DVI input, I can only get *1280x800 max resolution!* I have tried downloading SwitchResX, but it too only lists a 1280x800 max resolution for the ZR30w.
The monitor dutifully operates at 2560x1600 when hooked up to my PC, so I know it can do the job. I also can get 1080p output from the MacBook Pro on my TV.
So, how to I get the MacBook Pro to do what I bought it for? Very frustrating to be stuck at such a low resolution. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I have a Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP 30" and I'm thinking about getting a Macbook Pro and this was on my mind since Ive read the specs on nVidia GT 330m card on the new Macbook Pro i3/5/7 series. So this is great to hear, what a relief plus this will be my first Mac so I don't know what to expect. I hear they will be new Macbook Pro's 1Q of 2011 with Facetime etc...can anyone confirm that? I'm on the fence right now if to get one or wait. I'm assuming the new Macbook Air would do the same since it has the same Video Card.
The new Dell UltraSharp U3011 30" has a display port for connectivity and wondering if one can juss connect to a Macbook Pro directly...mini display port / display port same thing?
@ArthurPJohnson ... once you go 2560 x 1600 there's no way one can ever go back to a lesser resolution LoL!

Is there a way I can get send iMessages from my Macbook Pro?

I just got My first Macbook Pro and am still trying to figure out how to use it. I have seen that m friend can send and recieve his text messages on his Macbook Pro and I cant figure out how to get that. When I tried using messages it send it from my email not my phone number.

First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS you are running. What is the version?
A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.

Getting low voltage from the Macbook Pro Case

I'm getting low voltage throughout the casing whenever the brick is plugged in my 2011 macbook pro 13". I can run my fingers across the case and get the 60hz hum from the ac current. Pretty neat effect, not sure if it's totally safe or not. I tried plugging it into several outlets and changed the surge protector, with no changes happening. Anyone else getting this issue? Thank you for listening!!!

I have exactly the same problem. How did you fix it?
Is it magsafe adapter issue?

I cannot get a signal from my MacBook Pro to a Samsung T220HD using an HDMI cable

I was in the Apple store to see how to improve the resolution on my Samsung T220HD, which I had connected to my MacBook Pro using the PC cable and an Mini DisplayPort adaptor. The staff recommended I buy a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable instead. I've plugged the new cable in, and the Samsung display reads "Check signal cable".
I don't have another cable to test it; am I doing something wrong?

Mini Dis[playPort cables have a lot of contacts, and require a lot of force to seat properly. Push until all the metal part of the plug disappears into the jack.

I keep getting electric shocks from my macbook pro?

I bought it in 2011, and for the last year or so it has been giving me electric shocks when charging. I can feel it on my wrists when im typing, and any contact with the lower part of the mac. It can be quite painful and I've stopped using it whilst its charging. It doesn't matter what plug I'm using or what address, I still get it.
It is out of warranty, but I am really not happy that it's doing this. Shall I take it into apple and speak to them about it?

You certainly can and if it is a genius bar at an Apple store, the diagnosis will be free. Do not discount the possibility that the electrical system you are connecting to may be the problem.

Should I necessarily use an external hard "for mac" to get a backup from my macbook?

I want to get a backup from my macbook pro using the time machine. Should I necessarily use an external hard "for mac" to get a backup from my macbook? Because I have an external hard, but its not for mac. Is there any way I can use this one?

You can use the external drive you want with your Mac. However, the "for Mac" external drives come prepared to connect them and start using them, and probably you will have to do some additional steps with your external drive.
First, you will have to format the external drive with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", the only filesystem compatible with OS X. If you have got files on the external drive, you have to copy them to your Mac before erasing the drive. Then, follow these steps to format the external drive with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" > http://pondini.org/TM/5.html
Then, to use Time Machine, open System Preferences > Time Machine > Select Disk, and choose your external drive, so your Mac will start making backups to your external drive

Really weird noise is emitted from my MacBook Pro audio out

When using my audio output from my MacBook Pro the weirdest thing happens. I use software called MacsCue which I had previously used on my PowerBook G4. If no music has played from the audio output, it seems the computer needs to activate it and it emits a loud noise before playing the audio. As this is hooked up to a live system, it is unacceptable. After 10 seconds of not playing any audio, the jack will emit some staticy interference until I attempt to play something again. This is ridiculous. What should I do?

then its still under warranty. Call AppleCare or visit your nearest Apple store or AASP.

How do I get audio from my macbook pro to my receiver with higher quality than the headphone jack?

I recently got a receiver and surround sound speaker system. The quality of the audio from the CD player connected to it is far beyond the quality of the audio that comes from the MacBook pro via headphone jack to RCA connection. This was confirmed by burning a CD from the MacBook, placing it in the CD player then testing the two against each other - the same audio piece from the CD player or the MacBook, both connected to the same receiver/speaker set up. What other options might get better audio quality from the MacBook to the receiver?

The Mac's audio output doubles as a optical Toslink stereo mini jack, just use a adapter to regular Toslink and plug the optical cable to your surround sound system. Fiddle with the sound settings to enable optical output.
Mac's pass surround sound through, they don't do any processing.

Trying to connect a Belkin brand audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV. Cannot get any sound from the laptop out of the TV. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to connect a Belkin brand stereo audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV (Apple "genius" handed me the cable to purchase.) I have tried all the ports in the back of the Sony, and tried the volume on both the cable and TV remotes. I cannot get sound out of the Sony from my MacBook Pro laptop. What am I doing wrong???

Downloaded your operating manual. It appears that you need to connect the HDMI to HDMI 1 and the audio to the input socket just to the right of the VGA socket (i.e., between the VGA and the RF input connection). The picture on page13 seems to be the clearest I could find:
Although it's not exactly clear I think they are talking about a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo jack for the audio inpu as opposed to the more common RCA jacks used in the row just above that VGA input socket.
I haven't checked the manual as yet whether you need to set anything special with the controls other than input select.
Note, if that truly is a 3.5 mm stereo jack cables are very common. In your case it would just be a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on each end.
Update:
You will have to experiment with this but I think you will need to try pusing the input button to select either HDMI1 or PC (or Component?). The manual is not clear on this (page 31). Sometimes it just comes down to pushing buttons.
