It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

Can I use a led tv as a monitor for a macbook pro?

I mostly stream Netflix videos on my laptop and would like to watch them on a bigger screen without sacrificing the friendly interface of my MacBoob Pro. Is is possible to us a 30-40" LED tv as a monitor? Has anybody done this successfully? If so, are all LED tvs alike in this regard? I don't have a large budget and may even buy used. Any insights and advice would be most welcome. Thanks.

Check out Apple TV. It is a wireles interface to your TV that comes with much more capbility than just attaching it as a monitor. It can be the best $99 investment you can make for entertainment on your TV. It supports Netflix directly so you do not need your Mac in the loop to watch such movies. It simply requires a standard HDMI cable, not supplied with the Apple TV unit. Through it, with Mavericks, you can use the TV as a standard OS X monitor or for entertainment. Also check out the Beemer software to stream videos to it from your Mac.

HT4437 How can i use the tv as a wireless monitor for my computer?

I can move my pics and music into itunes to watch and hear on tv, but how can i use my tv as a wireless monitor for my computer?

Unfortunately, no mechanism for this exists for Windows. If you had a Mac, you could get AirParrot...

How can I use my iMac6.1 as a display for my MacBook Pro

I have a relatively old iMac 6.1 that I would like to use as a diplay for my MacBook Pro: any idea of how I can do that and what connecting cables I would need?
Thanks.

Unless the MBP has Thunderbolt you can't use the iMac as an external monitor unless you get ScreenRecycler. If the MBP does have Thunderbolt you need a Thunderbolt cable. Because Thunderbolt is so new finding a cable could be quite a challenge, you may want to contact Lacie and see if they can sell you one other than that I have no idea where to find one now.

How can I use an old Mac as a monitor for a Mini?

My sister has an old iMac, circa 2006, that can no longer be updated, so she's considering getting a Mini and somehow using the old iMac as a monitor. Is this possible? I found a very old post that referred to ScreenRecycler, but this appears to be a defunct or out of date product. She has a wifi network, so I'm wondering if that can be used, both for initial setup of the Mini and for normal use, or if an ethernet connection is preferable.

so she's considering getting a Mini and somehow using the old iMac as a monitor. Is this possible?
No.

Can I use a PowerPC iMac as a monitor for my MacBook Pro?

I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I need an external monitor for it and have an old iMac laying around that I'm wondering if I could use. The iMac is the first gen white square all-in-one screen one. It's a G5, 20" 1.8 GHz from 2005. PowerPC.
Can I connect my MacBook Pro to it to use as a second monitor? Or even to mirror the display? If so, what kind of connector cables do I need to make this happen?

You need to use a product such as ScreenRecycler over a network connection. All of these products require the capability to boot the iMac.

Hi,
Here is it specs:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03343048#N1221
You can only see:
Front:
1 - Screen area
2 - Microphone array
3 - Webcam camera
4 - Stand
5 - Speakers
Back:
1 - Optical disk drive (actually right)
2 - Stand
3 - Kensington lock slot
4 - Power button
5 - Memory card reader and other I/O on left side
6 - Motherboard back I/Os (specific I/Os are model dependent)
7 - Activity indicator
8 - Power connector
9 - LAN (ethernet)
10 - Four USB 2.0 ports
11- Audio port (actually left side)
Left:
1 - Hard drive activity indicator
2 - Memory card reader activity indicator
3 - Memory card reader

The only hope is "6 - Motherboard back I/Os (specific I/Os are model dependent)" area:
Please check area 6 above. As mentioned in my previous reply: Most likely your machine has no video out port.

How can we use Custom MessageBox in SelectionChangedEvent of LongListSelector for Windows Phone 8

Dear Sir/Madam,
How can we use Custom MessageBox in SelectionChangedEvent of LongListSelector for Windows Phone 8.
Actually my problem is that When i am using Custom MessageBox in SelectionChangedEvent of LongListSelector,when i am click Open(Left Button) it's working fine and navigated correctly,But when i am Click the No(Right Button) then it stayed in same page
but all that page is in stuckup i mean that page is not working and not doing any event.
My C#.net Code
private async void userPageLongListSelector_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
if (e.AddedItems.Count > 0)
if (userPageLongListSelector.SelectedItem == null)
return;
if (dbTenMin == null)
dbTenMin = new Database(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, "tenMInDBSchema.db");
await dbTenMin.OpenAsync();
var res = (sender as LongListSelector).SelectedItem as _10Min._10MinClass.minUserPages;
var resIndex = (sender as LongListSelector).ItemsSource.IndexOf(userPageLongListSelector.SelectedItem);
string selectedPageName = res.userPages.ToString();
string selectedPageDesignUser = res.pageDesignUser.ToString();
int selectedIndex = resIndex;
CustomMessageBox messageBox = new CustomMessageBox()
Caption = "Message...!",
Message = "This form need offline datalist,Please load now.",
LeftButtonContent = "Open",
RightButtonContent = "No"
messageBox.Dismissed += (s1, e1) =>
switch (e1.Result)
case CustomMessageBoxResult.LeftButton:
string uidAndpwd = _10MinClass._10MinStaticClass.csUidAndPwd.ToString();
_10MinClass._10MinStaticClass.csDataListPageDetails = selectedPageDataDetailsForSchema.ToString();
_10MinClass._10MinStaticClass.csAllDataLists = offlineDataBaseDataListNam;
_10MinClass._10MinStaticClass.csNotCreatedSchemaNameOfDBList = notCreatedDataLists;
userPageLongListSelector.SelectedItem = null;
if (dbTenMin != null)
dbTenMin.Dispose();
dbTenMin = null;
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/10MinformDataList.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
else
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/10MinformDataList.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
break;
case CustomMessageBoxResult.RightButton:
break;
case CustomMessageBoxResult.None:
break;
default:
break;
messageBox.Show();
Same custom messagebox code working in Phone_BackKeyPress event i am writing the code in Right Button that e.OriginalSource.ToString(); then it is working fine.
But It is not working in Selection Changed Event in LongListSelector control in Windows Phone 8.
Please help me,as soon as possible.
Thanks & Regards,
SrinivaaS.

What happens if you leave the implementation for LeftButton empty as well , does the page gets stuck in that case also, if you press left button?
i.e.
CustomMessageBox messageBox = new CustomMessageBox()
Caption = "Message...!",
Message = "This form need offline datalist,Please load now.",
LeftButtonContent = "Open",
RightButtonContent = "No"
messageBox.Dismissed += (s1, e1) =>
switch (e1.Result)
case CustomMessageBoxResult.LeftButton:
break;
case CustomMessageBoxResult.RightButton:
break;
case CustomMessageBoxResult.None:
break;
default:
break;
messageBox.Show();

How can I use an American credit card to pay for a membership from outside the US?

How can I use an American credit card to pay for a membership from outside the US? My payment page is set up for Japanese credit cards. I can't change to the US store, because the "Select a Store" page just jumps to the "Products" page.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Batt5721,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
The address and the country on the Credit Card should match the billing address then only payment would be possible.
Thanks

This question was solved.
View Solution.

You know, this is just a thought. I'm not sure the differences between the iq526 and iq770, but as I was looking around I found this article. I don't know if it'll help, but you might want to take a look. Evidently someone figured out how to use the HP touchsmart as an external monitor for his Dell laptop.

How can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3

Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

Sean and Andy -
I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
So here's what does NOT work for me...
     (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
     (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
     (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
     (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
     (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
     (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'-- routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
     (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
     (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID!
So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ??? As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
Any advice would be appreciated! TIA.

How do I use my IMac as a second moniter for my Macbook Pro?

Okay, So I would like to use my IMac as a monitor for my mbp. The IMac is a 2010 model and the Macbook is 2012 (Not the retina).
I'm a music producer and I'm sick of having to switch devices so I just want to keep all my stuff on the macbook but the screens way too small.
What I want to do is use the mbp screen with the mixer section of logic as well as use the IMac as a second moniter with the arrange screen.
Is it possible to do this with an ethernet cable?
if so
How do I do it?
Oh and a question on the side, Is mavericks worth the download?
Thanks!!

You can use the iMac as an external display for your MacBook Pro, always that you have got a 27-inch iMac. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
You have to purchase a Mini DisplayPort cable (Ethernet won't work, as this is not designed as a video cable to connect Macs), and then, press Command and F2 keys on the iMac.
If you have got a 21'5-inch iMac, you can use an application like ScreenRecycler, which uses your network to use the iMac as an external screen
