How can i backup my pictures from my macbook pro that doesnt let me log in? I just want to get the pictures i have in it, everything else is not important.

Last night i uninstalled Aperture from my macbook pro 13 inch, 2010. After i restarted my mac (as required) it didnt let me log into my account. I was only able to log into my guest account. Either way, my screen would flicker as if something was wrong. So now im thinking of doing a clean install but first i want to get my pictures. I do have an external hard drive 1tb that i could use.

See if you can get your hands on a firewire cable, and another Mac. If so, target disk mode should solve your problems.

  • Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

    Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

    Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

  • How can I tell if my fan on MacBook Pro is working properly?  It seems to be running often and the laptop feels hot!

    How can I tell if my fan on MacBook Pro is working properly?  It seems to be running often and the laptop feels hot!

    Isn't it awesome that after you spend 2500$ + on a laptop you need to also become a computer technician in order to keep it working. The fan in my MacBook Pro runs all the time and the computer is also very hot all the time. I always try to make sure it's not sitting on a flat surface that might make it run hotter. I'm running 10.6.8. Is there anything I can do to fix this? When should the fan be running? Should it run when I have more than one program running at a time? Is the MacBook Pro designed to only run one program at time? At the moment I'm watching a show via Firefox. There are no other programs running, the computer is raised off the table, the fan is running at about half the speed it usually does, moments ago the fan was going full bore. Google Browser was open, iTunes was open, text edit was open, but none of them being used - I was using Firefox and watching a movie online with browser window on fullscreen. Anyone got any suggestions? Should I just enroll into a university and begin my studies as computer technician?

  • How can I transfer Photoshop CS5 from my macbook pro running Maverick to my iMac that is running Mountain Lion

    I have been trying to figure out how to transfer Photoshop CS5 from my Macbook Pro to the my iMac. The Macbook Pro was running Mountain Lion until I updated a few days ago to Maverick. The iMac is sill running Mountain Lion because when I went to update to Maverick it let me know that I would not be able to run Photoshop CS3. Under normal conditions I would not be concerned, but I don't have the Photoshop CS5 disk anymore to install it, so hence my problem.
    I tried backing up to time machine and that did not work, I tried a transfer using firewire and it transfer the problem but then when I try to open it on the iMac it is looking for the serial number.
    I would appreicate any help on resolving this.

    Hi landonw
    The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.
    {quote:}All I am really concerned about is my iTunes database and my firefox profiles.{quote}
    What no BACKUP'
    To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.

  • How can I disconnect my iPhone from my MacBook so that it stops informing me of incoming calls?

    I have an iPhone. I have a MacBook Pro running Yosemite.
    Problem: whenever I get a phone call on the iPhone, the MacBook lets me know my phone is calling. I'm sure some people appreciate this feature, but it's very distracting if you don't want it. How do I remove it?
    It's a huge disruption to work. I keep my phone on silent far away from me so I can do work in peace but every time I get a call, my computer let's me know. i can't avoid my phone! Thanks!

    On your Mac, open the FaceTime app and go to FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings and deselect the iPhone Cellular Calls option.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

  • How can i migrate my software from a macbook pro to a mini server

    So i have bought a new Mac Mini Server but now i want to migrate my MacBook Pro User Profile, Data Files and Software to it. yet it would appear that there is no migration agent to use which implies that Apple miss an important part of the Mac experience.
    So if any body out there has a solution i would welcome your input. i had thought about using the push option from the MacBook Pro migration Agent but not sure if that would work.
    Charles

    Well OK you can not use the migration assistant because there isn't one for SL Server and it looks that if you want to migrate from a MBP to server as a user you have 2  choices manually move the item you want to an identical user on the server or create the user and bild the software and move the data required.
    how ever i have had a result in using the 2nd drive for just SL, when I spoke to the tech at the apple store yesterday he said use a retail copy of OSX SL which wont boot but apply update 10.6.8 combo and the system will then boot and bingo you will have a dual boot machine. "Ho No you Won't" firstly once you run the install from the CD which has to be triggered from Server the machine will reboot after copying the packages to the new drive but does not run them to build the SL system so you have nothing to install the update onto hence doesn't work.
    Here's the suprise I had a copy of my MBP on a spare hdd produced by Carbon Copy, so I attached this the a FireWire case to the mini held the alt key down and powered up. much to my suprise the mini booted into the external drive hold my MBP copy of SL. from then on in it was just a case of copying the drive using carbon copy to the 2nd drive on the mini and hey presto reboot and i now have both server and  and non server mini in one box.
    Sometimes you just get Lucky.

  • How can I remove Windows XP from my MacBook Pro?

    I've tried everything I can find to get rid of Windows XP on my MacBook Pro.  I have OS X 10.5.8 and, unlike later versions, BootCamp Assistant 2.0 doesn't allow the option to restore the disk.  And I can't find an update to BootCamp anywhere that will work. Seems I need Snow Leopard to upgrade to 3.0.

    Boot Camp has an option to remove the Windows partition provided you made the partition with Boot Camp and did not later modify it or create a third-partition on the drive.
    This may work:
    Open Disk Utility, select your drive in the sidebar, then click on the Partition button in the DU main window.  Select the Windows partition by clicking in the Windows rectangle of the partitions display.  Click on the Delete [-] button to remove the partition then click on the Apply button.  Wait for DU to either complete the operation or error out.  If DU removes the partition then click on the partition sizing gadget (lower right hand corner) on the main partition and drag all the way to the bottom to fill the gray space left from removing the Windows partition.  Click on the Apply button and wait until the operation is completed.
    If you get errors at either of the two procedures then that means the drive's RDB has been damaged or altered.  In this case backup the drive, boot from the backup, erase the drive, then restore the backup.

  • How can I display a slideshow from my Macbook pro on a projector using a nine pin connection?

    I have prepared a slideshow that I would like to show to a group of people using a projector and screen.  I know the projector uses a nine pin connection but I don't have anything like that on my MAC.  Is there a connecting wire that I could purchase that would use the USB port, or any other and then fit the nine pin?
    My Macbook Pro was purchased in the summer of 2012.
    Thank you.

    Dianita,
    Normally you would need a mini dvi to VGA adapter. VGA is 15 pin connection, serial is 9 pin, are you certain about the pin count?
    Check the projector pin count, as this would rather unusual. If you discover that you need a 15 pin, you can use the above mentioned adapter plugged into a standard VGA cable. Available at Apple store, or do a search online.
