HELP! TV connecting to Mac problem
I really hope someone can help. No one has answers very frustrating.
I connected my Macbook Pro to my Samsung LED. For awhile it worked great. Then after 2 weeks of not using it I plug in the Mini display port and there is a HUGE black bar on the left. The stuff on my computer is no longer full screen on the TV.
All settings seem okay. I don't have an overscan option. On mirror mode it is full screen but won't allow you to do anything unless is mirrored.
So.... how do I make a 13inch macbook full screen on a 32inch comp?

Please help me with this mac problem
I bought a mac pro without any applications installer (iPhoto, iMovie etc.) Is it really like that? Or there should be one? Btw, i bought OS X v10.

Did you purchase this computer from an authorized Apple dealer (or Apple Store) new or did you buy it from an individual?
Yeah that is my question also.
If bought Used from a Private person then you need to Register it with Apple on the Apple Website.
You should also check that it is a Late 2011 model as if it is an early 2011 model it may of originally came with Snow Leopard Pre-Installed and that means that is should not of been sold with Lion installed. As if it is a early 2011 model that did come with SL installed then Lion is regisrted to the original buyer of Lion and not to the serial # of that Mac. -

Help needed in connecting a Mac Mini to AT&T DSL
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this problem will be appreciated. I'm helping a friend connect a Mac to the Internet using AT&T DSL. The computer is a Mac Mini, 1.42 GHz PPC G4, running OS X 10.5. It is connected by Ethernet to an AT&T DSL modem. The Mini's Network preference is configured to connect using DHCP.
Strange symptoms include:
1. Safari will not connect to the Internet.
2. However, Firefox WILL connect and loads all websites I tried.
3. Apple Mail will connect and download messages from my friend's previous email address (not AT&T), but will not connect to allow me to configure his new AT&T account.
4. Other programs that need a network connection won't run; for example, the Software Update preference, when checking for new updates, claims that there is no network connection.
Do these symptoms indicate that the Mini's network preferences are not configured correctly, or that the DSL modem is not configured correctly?
More information: with the modem is an "Installation Wizard Disc" CD with a setup program. It's supposed to work for any PPC G3 or greater Mac, which certainly fits this Mini. BUT, when run on the Mini, the setup program displays a message that the computer's processor is "unrecognized". Then the setup program quits. I ran the setup program on my MacBook Pro laptop connected to the DSL modem. It went through a lengthy process with messages about "configuring the modem". After this, I was able to connect to the Internet with Safari using the laptop. This seems to indicated that there's nothing basically wrong with the modem or DSL connection. However, I can't run the setup program on the Mini. (The above symptoms were after getting the laptop to work, then switching the Ethernet connection back to the Mini.)This is a strange problem, especially since Firefox is working OK.
You might try using OpenDNS. They have a good set of instructions about how to do this here:
https://www.opendns.com/start
It's possible that AT&T's DNS servers aren't responding fast enough, and Safari is timing out quicker than Firefox.
The other option is to call AT&T and ask for support in accessing their DSL modem.
A third option would be to download a system maintenance utility like Yasu
http://jimmitchell.org/projects/yasu/
and use it to clear all the caches in the system -- in case the Mini somehow is using stale information about the net. -
as stated above
What is the best way to remotely access my sister in laws Mac who lives in another city to help her with her computer problems?The best way? Get her to bring it to you, especially if she makes good cakes.
Apples Back to my Mac isn't really suitable for this - it is designed for a single person who wants their Apple ID on the system. It would mean she would have to share hers with you & you would also have to setup her Apple ID on your Mac - it is messy & causes trouble with iCloud, iTunes etc.
You can try Messages if she is able to begin a session with you, see the 'invite to share screen' in the menus, weirdly you need to use a service that isn't from Apple.
Messages (Mavericks): Share your screen
It may be better if you to setup LogMeIn or GoToMyPC. They should 'dial out' & maintain a constant connection so you can login whenever the Mac is powered up. It won't, require a human to initiate the process at the other end, just be aware that the router may cause issues depending on what is configured, you may need settings to enable automatic port forwarding - it really depend on which option you choose. -
Hi I am having problem connecting my mac and iphone6 through AirDrop
HI I am having problem connecting my mac and iphone6 through Air Drop
You don't give any information about your Mac but note the quote below which states that it must be a 2012 or later model with Yosemite installed. The quote is from Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support which also contains some other things that may help.
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network. -
I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.
Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire. -
i bought a mini DVI to HDMI convertor and a HDMI to VGA cable to connect my mac book pro to a tv but it doesn't work any one can help.
I would suggest looking into a Thunderbolt to HDMI connector. In this case, you may be able to use the TV as an external monitor. For this option, please confirm through additional research. I have not tested it personally.
You can also use an Apple TV, which connects with HDMI. In this case, you can use Airplay Mirroring. Not all Macs support Airplay Mirroring, so you need to check first. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, and it supports Airplay Mirroring. I don't use it often because my TV is in another room, but I just tried it and it worked. It had to change the screen resolution to work well, so I don't know if I would want to use it as my day to day monitor. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404 -
How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.
I do not know the iWire adapter, but I use an inexpensive ($3) DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, along with a regular HDMI cable:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041902 &p_id=2029&seq=1&format=2
Be aware that this will only transfer video. You Macbook Pro cannot combine audio through DVI to HDMI. You will need to listen to the audio through the Mac speakers, or attach speakers or a sound system to the Mac earphone jack, or determine if your TV has the ability to accept external sound from the Mac while showing video through HDMI (few can). -

i am a OS10.7.4 user. yesterday i bought a Lacie external hard disk but error message appear said " You cant open the applicant LaCie setup assistant because PowerPC applicants are no longer support". please help me how to connect my mac with Lacie??
You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!
Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?

I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.
VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.

I have OSX 10.7.5. I loaded Powerschool, this sent me to oracle to load java 7, now powerschool won't laod, java 7 logo just spins. I contacted orgacle live help, said it was a mac problem that they could fix for $75. Any help would be wonderful. MT
Pearson put out a tech note on this today - the new versions of Java are what's causing the problem. If you can use Time Machine to rollback java prior to a java 7 or 1.6.0_37 version that will get you going again. I've been searching for hours for a place to download the older version but it seems Apple's site and Oracle all only have the latest release. Still trying to see if I have a copy downloaded on a system that hasn;t been updated to copy off to a network drive or usb and install the older version on to systems.

PowerTeacher Gradebook and recent Mac OS X Java update
An update to Java for Mac OS X was released on October 16, 2012. An issue has been identified with this Java update (Java for OS X 2012-006) which prevents teachers from launching PowerTeacher Gradebook.
Teachers using PowerTeacher Gradebook should avoid taking this Java update to version 1.6.0_37 until notified that PowerTeacher Gradebook has been certified with this latest version of Java 1.6 for Mac OS X. PowerTeacher Gradebook will continue to work on Mac OS X workstations with Java version 1.6.0_35.
Additional communication will be provided once a workaround is identified or an updated version of PowerTeacher Gradebook is available. -
