Hello MacBook Pro Musicians- I cannot read sheet music from the ipad. It is too small. I want to connect a large monitor, hopefully wirelessly to my 13 inch macbook pro. what would I need to connect ? Any suggestions on how to keep monitor from falling?
Hello Macbook Pro Musicians--I cannot read sheet music from my 13" macbook or from an IPad. The print is too small for these aging eyes! So I need to get a large monitor to attach to the Macbook. I want the monitor to be connected wirelessly or using a blue tooth. This will eliminate alot of potential mishaps
when playing out. Also I am having a time figuring out how I am going to safely keep the monitor on somekind of music stand without falling!!! Can anyone help me with this?
Hi Julius,
As you can see in my profile section, my MBP is older by 5 years, 2GB RAM and with regards to question 1 (Q1), has no problems with having all those programs open at the same time with the possible exception of Photoshop since I use Gimp instead. With twice the RAM and much overall much better specs, Photoshop shouldn't be an issue. But you listed some other activities that might need that additional RAM. But the advise most give is to not get it from Apple but from a third party.
Q5 - I always get Apple Care. Only had to use it once but it paid for itself that one time.
Sorry, can't help you much with the questions you really want answered since I won't have a new MBP until (hopefully) next week but for Q4, I believe it depends on the peripheral. My current monitors are too old to allow them to be hooked up in a chain. Supposedly, if the monitors do have the ports, you could via the MBP Thunderbolt port. The speeds are also dependent upon the peripheral. If the external hard drive is using a USB 2 port, you are limited by that speed (480 Mb/s). If it has a Thunderbolt port, then from what I understand, we, my friend, are in for some great times because I believe your RAM will have the ability to access data as fast as it can take it at 10Gb/s (and if will need those kinds of speeds, the 8GB of RAM may be the way to go). The Thunderbolt demos on YouTube where they are accessing four video files from a Raid drive, then sending them back out via Final Cut Pro to a monitor are amazing. I'll probably never push this machine to anywhere near it's limits but I can't wait to see what others do.
Peace,
Jeremiah

When printing from the ipad, it will only print small size. I want it to print full sheet. Any suggestions?
If you are using HP, try this app:

Any suggestions on how to print coupons from Target's website?
I am wanting to print coupons from Target's website, but they have done a poor job of supporting us Mac users. I even downloaded Firefox, as it stated that they supported Firefox 3.x for Mac; well, they don't.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!I am having the same problem and have searched relentlessly for a solution. When I try to print I get the following message:
Unfortunately, you’re trying to print to a device that is not valid for printing coupons. Please check your print setting to make sure your default printer is a standard printer and has paper. If you have a multifunction printer (fax, copy, print), please make sure that “Printer” is set as the default function on your computer.
Click the Try Again button after you’ve selected a new printer and make sure you have paper.
The first time I tried to print from the site it required that I download an applet, which I did. It's called MacCouponPrinter.dmg. I can print from other coupon sites but not Target's.
It's apparently a HUGE problem with couponers as I read probably 50 posts on various website, some of which offer solutions, but none of which have worked for me or any others as far as I can tell from the posts.
If anyone has suggestions, please chime in. Also, one more thing... It seems that the Target coupons page somehow accesses my printer directly without allowing me to go through the print dialog box to change any settings. Don't know if that's a helpful fact, but...
Thanks in advance! -
Any suggesstions on ow to successfully complete a call. During the course of a conversation, my face hits the screen and either disconnects the call, switches to Face Time, or dials another number from my Contacts. I hold the phone in all sorts of directions, but still this problem. It is so annoying to the caller and to me! Any suggestion?
The iphone is designed to lock the screen when it is next to your face.
If it is not locking when it is against your ear, then try basic troubleshooting: Restart,reset, restore
Unless you have a case on it. If you have a case, then remove the case and see if that solves it. Otherwise, try basic troubleshooting.
If all fails then make an appointment at the local genius bar or call Apple support to arrange from a replacement. -
After downloading Zotero (a plug in that is in theory custom-designed for firefox), I get an error message that says "zotero could not be installed because firefox could not modify the needed file". That's all the detail I have.
You get this error if you install an extension that needs to be unpacked in order to work properly, but this isn't happening. The default is to copy the file to the extensions folder and rename the file part to the ID of the extension.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Updating_extensions_for_Firefox_4.0#XPI_unpacking
You can try to set the extensions.alwaysUnpack pref(s) on the <b>about:config</b> page to true.
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file if present. -
I am trying to sync my IPhone up to my computer. It shows it is working, but the movies and t.v. series I purchased from my phone are not showing up in my library on my computer. I have updated both my phone and computer. I am using windows. Any suggestions on how I can get this to work?
Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

We are trying to use an ipad to replace ordinary paper sheet music on a piano. When truning ordinary paper pages, it is sometimes hard to grasp one page, turn it quickly and get it to stay turned. The idea with using an ipad is that a tap turns the page, it stays turned. However,,,,,ordinary sheet music is on both left and right pages. With one turn you get 2 new pages. The ipad, being smaller results in only one page and therefore twice as many page turn taps; more taps equals less hands on the piano. If we could tie 2 ipads together and get them both to turn the page simultaneously it would be nice. We are trying to get used to using the ipad. We are using ForScore app to get sheet music into the ipad; we could load one with odd pages and one with even pages. Maybe this is getting too complicated.
Anyway to tie 2 units together
JohnNo way to control one device from the other. But, according to ForScore, you should be able to display two sheets side by side in landscape mode (2-up view)? Not sure if that helps as it must make the actual print smaller to do so.

I downloaded the iCloud app to my PC (Windows Vista with Service Pack 2). But when I try to launch the app from the start menu, I'm getting an error message that says "Unable to launch due to side-by-side configuration". What do I need to do?
Sounds like a Windows issue. Google the error message. There are several discussions on the Microsoft forums listed that may help.

I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port. -
Hi all, my external hardrive is no longer being recognized on my Macbook pro after I tried to transfer some documents from another Macbook( that used the Lion operating system) to mine. i'm currently using the Mac OS X 10.6.8. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I suspect the drive got disconnected, somehow, on that other system and corrupted the drive because of the Disconnection.
Connect it to your system and open Disk Utility and see if the drive is even being seen. If it is all the data on is more then likely lost and it will need to be repartitioned and or just erased and reformatted. -
I have an Epson scanner that is apparently no longer supported because it is a PowerPC app. It's a very good scanner that worked fine until I upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions on how I can continue to use it?

Description: The latest Mac OS X ICA scanner driver for your Epson product is available only via Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get it:
1. Connect the all-in-one or scanner to your Mac and power it on.
2. Select the menu, then Software Update.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the available updates.

Photoshop elements 10 will not migrate to my new macbook pro/retina display. There is no CD/DVD player on this machine. Any suggestions on how to get Elements onto my machine? Yes, I have the disk(s). Am I going to have to buy an external CD/DVD player to load this one program:(
