HOW CAN I AIRPLAY FROM MY MACBOOK PRO

HOW CAN I AIRPLAY FROM MY MACBOOK PRO

The graphics chipset in pre-2011 Macs will not support the AirPlay feature. I guess Apple could have withheld the feature for everyone, or provided free graphic upgrades for all older Macs. Neither choice makes much sense. It's a shame, but the Mac and iOS products have a lot more going for them than this one feature.
AirParrot is said to work for some machines. I tried it on my 2008 iMac, and it left a lot to be desired

    How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray?  I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

    Sure can.
    With a document open in Pages, select to print so that you can see the print dialog as shown below.
    Note that to see this view, you may need to press the Show Details button in the bottom left corner. In the image above, since I have the expanded view displayed, this button changes to Hide Details
    So with the view shown, first change the Presets menu to Default Settings. Then click the Layout drop menu and select Quality & Media. Make the changes you want and then click on the Presets menu and select Save Current Settings as Preset...
    At the next window, give the Preset a name and select the Only this Printer radio button and then click OK to save it. That's it.
    As for the Preset that you already have, if you no longer want this preset then you can delete it via the Show Presets menu pane that you've used already.

  • How can I mirror from my macbook pro

    Hi all, I have a macbook pro and would like to mirror my tv right to my apple tv but don't know how?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

  • How can i print from my macbook pro using a kodak office hero 6.1 ai0?

    I have printed out the network configuration of the printer, but I can not find the software.

    First, why?  If you're having problems, note that this is the last thing to try.  Kinda like knocking down your entire house and rebuilding it from the foundation up in order to fix a leaking kitchen sink.  Sometimes a clean reinstall is necessary, but not as often as people do it.
    If you have a good reason or just want to do it regardless, the next question is did you buy the upgrade to Lion from the App Store or did your machine come with Lion?  If the former, you should hold down option and click the Purchased icon in the App Store, then re-download it.  Use the installer to make a bootable Lion install drive (preferably, IMHO, on an 8 GB flash drive).  Then start up from that, use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive, and reinstall.
    Otherwise, hold down command-R while starting up to enter recovery mode and do the same from there.  The disadvantage is that you'll have to download everything as part of the install process.  You're going to have to re-download one way or the other, but it's nice if you can make a disk and avoid doing that again in the future, if it becomes necessary again.
    And, as sig says, any applications will need to be reinstalled from the original disks.  Make sure you have all serial numbers handy, and make sure all your personal data is backed up extremely well (in at least two different places).

    my airplay from my MacBook Pro to my tv through my apple tv is fuzzy- it just started being fuzzy about 2 months ago- it used to be clear- anyone else have this problem?  How can I fix it?

    Hi freezebri,
    The following steps may resolve your issue:
    Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1551
    If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
    Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
    When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
    Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
    Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
    Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
    Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Selectbutton will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
    If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
    If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.
    Hope this information helps ...

  • How can I restore my new Macbook pro to Factory setting?

    How can I restore my new Macbook pro to Factory setting?

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: Be sure you have an active internet connection.
