Help!! I can't get my new macbook to print with my Dell 155w OR burn a home movie to DVD

I cannot get my very recently purchased macbook pro to burn a home video to dvd OR connect to my dell 155w printer. I bought a macbook because it was so highly recomended. But I don't want to keep replacing things. I am so frustrated. I wanted a macbook because of its reputation. But I can't seem to figure out anything. I'm dissapointed and thinking I will just return it.

Your problem may be able to be solved but take this from a Long time Windows user and current Mac owner. Macs are not easier to use. Mac break down just as often as PCs, percentage wise as to how many are sold/produced.
They use the exact same hardware as Win PCs.
The learning curve for OS X is greater then for Windows.
Not sure of the age of your printer but it may not be supported in the newest Mac OS, Lion.
We would need a little more info on how you are trying to connect TO the printer. USB cable or Wirelessly.
As far as burning a Home Movie to DVD. Apple use to supply a program called iDVD for this but with the introduction of Lion OS they stopped supplying that program. You could try another burning program. Try Burn or you could buy something like Toast (Burn is free).
Personally I would return your Macbook Pro and stick to what you know with a good PC notebook.
Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund. Take advantage of that policy.

  • I can't get my new Macbook to allow me to sync and still keep my phones existing iTunes library. Even though it is the same account it doesn't seem to recognise that my Apple ID is the same

    I can't get my new Macbook to allow me to sync and still keep my phones existing iTunes library. Even though it is the same account it doesn't seem to recognise that my Apple ID is the same

    If youre like me, I have so many Apple devices, I always move things over manually rather than remember what to sync and what not to sync........ There’s an option to UNCHECK sync on any device if that helps you in ITUNES.
    On any device, like your phone, in ITUNES you can check the option for manual vs. automatically sync.

    - Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. Apple does not transfer any data.

    - To backup all your data to computer follow the instructions here. However, do not restore from backup until you have the replacement/repaired iPod.

  • How can I get my new phone to sync with iTunes

    My husband got a new iPhone and we share a computer, we figured out how to create a new library but the new library does not recognize the phone in order to sync it.  How can we get the new library to sync with his phone?

    Thanks for you suggestion roaminggnome. I tried typing in 13019 like you said and it gave me a few options to try and fix it but none of them worked (of course). I fiddled around with it for a while some more on my own and some how got it to work again, lol. Thanks again though for offering a solution.

  • Can I get a new macbook pro under the warranty?

    Its been two months since I got my macbook pro. I got the newer 2011 version. Less than a month into getting it my keys started falling off and less than 2 months later my hard drive went out for no reason and I had to get it replaced. And now my other keys are all falling off too. I don't understand. I feel like I was sold a refurbished mac because everything keeps breaking. Do you think its better to just get a new macbook pro? Is that even possible? I also feel like it takes a while to turn on than when I first got it. How long is the normal start up time?

    If you have had this Mac for less then a year then the computer is still under warranty.
    I also feel like it takes a while to turn on than when I first got it. How long is the normal start up time?
    It depends. If you have applications set to launch when you startup the Mac, that can slow down the amount of time it takes to boot your Mac.
    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab.

  • Can't get brand new WRT610N to work with Billion 7404 VGOM

    I already posted this on whirlpool, here are my posts:
    Hey All,
    Just bought a LinkSys WRT610n and I can't get the darned thing to work with my Billion 7404VGOM.
    At the moment I just want to network my pc to the LinkSys, LinkSys connects to my 7404 which is connected to the internet.
    I've tried using DHCP automatic connection with the WRT610N, but it just doesn't talk route any traffic to the 7404...and thus nothing to the internet.
    All cables and plugged in correctly, I tried the auto setup also but just can't figure the thing out.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,
    Ken
    I can't ping my 7404 modem from my PC when connected through the WRT610N. I can ping the WRT610N successfully, but when trying to ping the 7404 the WRT returns "Destination Host Unreachable"
    7404 is function fine if I just connect to it directly though.
    I don't understand, even If I couldn't get DHCP info working or syncing between both devices, it should still be able to ping it.....?
    Right, I just plugged in my netbook via network cable into the "Internet" port on my WRT610N. I try to ping the router using this (it doesn't get any DHCP settings from the router, so I just set it manually and use the WRT as default gateway ip)...I just get request timed out.
    I should be able to do this right?....starting to think my WRT610n has a dodgy "Internet" port.
    Any suggestions?

    If you connect your notebook via network cable into the "Internet" port on the WRT610N and if you ping the router it will not reply...also your Notebook will get any DHCP setting with this connection...However what exactly is Billion 7404VGOM ? A modem i guess!! Who is your ISP ?

  • Can I get the new MacBook with a 1 tb Hard Drive?

    Well very good looking the new (GOLD) MacBook announced on Monday 9 March 2015.  But with just one USB-C port this means having a number of adapters with me at all times ---
    But the big concern is whether I can get at least 1 tb of storage space.  I have a 5 year old MB Pro with a 500 gb SSD and I removed the Optical Drive to install a 500 gb HD.  Now 5 years later…  Am I going to be limited to 8 gb of memory and 500 gb of storage space?  Not a lot of progress there!
    I know I can move to the 13" MacBook Pro and get more connection possibilities plus 16 gb of RAM and a 1 TB drive - but I would like to purchase the latest technology (especially since I keep my Macs a long time! - My 1989 SE is still running OS 6.0.4…  --- OK I'm not planning on 26 year lifespans but hey, 5 years, yes, please!)
    Any comments appreciated.  I see where they say one can move to 1.3 gHz (turbo to 2.9) - but I don't see where to select that on the Apple Store -- and I see nothing about where to select 16 gb of RAM  nor a 1 tb SSD.
    Thanks for any comments or opinions or web links!

    Wow this is a great reply!  I did not mean to imply that I would consider or even imagine that a 5200 rpm Hard Drive or anything like that would work with the new MacBook – but what I had NOT considered was that a standard SSD like I have in my MBP-13" (2010 mode)l would also NOT FIT in this almost iPad thin new MacBook!  Of course you are 100% right - it is going to be a real special flash drive -- and yet I am surprised that a 1 tb is not at least offered - even if for $400 or so more--- and I think this is so they have some way to differentiate the MacBook (new) with the MB Air and the MB Pro. 
    Certainly tempting!  I will wait to see what Belkin and others offer as to docks - and also to see if Apple doesn't offer a 1 tb option within a year.
    Thanks for your fine reply!!!!!!

  • I synced firefox information to the servers and exchanged my laptop. How can I get the new laptop to sync with my firefox data?

    I want to get my firefox sync data on my laptop. However, I haven't paired this device, I just have my information on the firefox servers under my account. How can I get the sync info on this new laptop?

    If you don't have a 2nd device available which is already setup with your Sync account, pairing can't be done.
    In order to set up a '''new device''' when you can't "pair", you need three things; the user account name ''(email address used)'', the password for the account, and the '''Sync Key'''.
    If you didn't make a copy of the Sync Key as prompted at the end of the Sync set up process, you can't successfully setup a new device and won't be able to recover your data.

  • Can I burn hd home movies to dvd in itunes after importing them into my itunes library

    Can I burn to dvd, HD home movies from a HD camera in itunes after importing them in my itunes library

    I don't have iTunes set to manage my music but if I move an item to the trash that is the file iTunes uses, it will still play in iTunes until I empty the trash.  Of course at that point it is permanently gone so if that was my keeper file then I have messed up.
    One overlying recommendation is to back up your computer before doing the editing.  If you make a mistake you can always go back and try again.

  • How can I get a new MacBook battery Germany?

    Hi. I am a Mac newbie and need some help. I have the infamous black "x" (even after installing all relevant updates). Apple tech tells me that I need a new battery but they will ship it to my APO (Army Post Office) where I am stationed.
    I know people in Europe use Apples. Is there an Apple Store or Certified Tech in Germany that can make this exchange happen?

  • How can I get my new camcorder to work with iMovie?

    Hey
    I just bought the new Panasonic SDR-SW20 and it doesn't work with a Mac.
    At least that is what I read at amazon.com.
    The file types it records in are .MOD files. Can these be converted?
    And if they can, how do I do that and what program do I need?
    Could someone maybe explain to me how I can get it to work with iMovie?
    Thanks.
    Bye Sandra

    Hi Sandy,
    Yes, you bought the wrong format of cam for working easily with iMovie HD6. Your cam records in MPEG2, which will need to be converted to DV for use in iMovie. You might want to read what the following page says about that cam's format.
    http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Panasonic-SDR-SW20-Camcorder-Review-35018/F ormat.htm
    It doesn't give a good review of the video quality and that will only get worse with the conversion necessary to work with it in HD6. If returning the cam for something more suitable is possible, unless you have bought this solely for its underwater capabilities, that might be your best bet. The best cam for use with iMovie HD versions is a miniDV cam using firewire, to capture to your Mac.
    If you want to persue the workarounds, you will need to get MPEGStreamclip (free-Google it) and the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 plug-in (cost $20.00), available at the Apple downloads site.
    Hope this helps you.

  • I need help on how to get my new computer to sink with my ipod. Help

    Can some one please tell me how to get my ipod and Itunes to sink right on a new updated computer with out eracing everthing. I have lots of pictures that I had on the computer and lost. they are all on the ipod and don't know how to get them off or get it connected with itunes. I entered my password and everything. Sequoiah

    Take the cord and plug it into the computer. Now plug your phone in(make sure iTunes is installed on computer: www.apple.com/iTunes) you can now sync the photos music and every thing else.
    after doing that you can do this:
    To sync with the computer, make sure you are signed in on both iPhone and computer with the same account. You can go to Settings then iCoud and switch automatic syncing of photos, songs, etc. this will put it all back on. It will save everything "on the cloud"

  • Help! Can't get DNG Recover Edges to work with RAW files from Olympus E-M5.

    I've imported the RAWs into LR 4.4 (on a Mac), converted to DNG and run the plug in as directed.
    Then I go into the develop module and select crop, then click "Reset."
    Nothing happens!
    What am I doing wrong?
    I can see the missing image data in the import module, but can't recover it.

    Thanks for your link but i don't think it has something to do with relinking libraries since i never had to to that on my first machine. I'm currently pursuing a different approach: I'm comparing the files used by ccpd and cups on both machines with each other. These are the results:
    On the machine with working capt service:

    http://pastebin.com/n0KQj14z
    On the machine with defect capt service:
    http://pastebin.com/rtUW5Gfm
    http://pastebin.com/vh94E3Jv
    One thing that i noticed is the two libraries resolv and nss which are used on the defect machine. Could it be that?
