How damaged is my macbook pro?
I have a mid 2010 Macbook pro with Snow Leopard...
I was using some rubbing alcohol to clean my keyboard and it quit working. It just makes the error noise whenever I try to tap a key. If I boot it up using the shift,alt and apple key method I can get the trackpad to work but I have to use a USB Keyboard. If I hit any key without a USB keyboard plugged in my trackpad is always acting like it's left clicking but it will work again if I plug in the USB keyboard.
So I'm just curious on what's damaged so I can buy the replacement part.
How much did you use?? Normally, the best thing to do is shut your mac down and take it straight away to a store to be assessed.
However, rubbing alcohol should evaporate. Power down and unplug your Mac immediately and for at least a 24 hours, 48 if you can. If you can leave it somewhere warm (and I don't mean try to heat it up!!) that will help with the evaporation process.
When you do switch it back on, if it acts in any way unusual, power off immediately and take it to your nearest Apple service point for assessment.

If the CD player has audio line outputs, you could tap the audio input port of your MBP. I do question the practicality of doing so.

How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?
how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network? My home computer is a Window 8 OS. Thx.
The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive. -

How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3?
How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3 ?
And if it is USB 2, will external hardisk which support usb 2 would be compatible with & vice-versa?
What would be the cons?USB 3.0 ports were only added to those MacBook Pros that were released in mid 2012 and later.
So you would have USB 2.0 ports on your machine.
But USB 3.0 and 2.0 are 'compaitble,' somewhat - you just won't be able to get the throughput of a USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 connection.

How to Make my Macbook Pro's internal HDD external, when I get a SSD?
Hey, I know there are other posts on what enclosure you can use and if it's a possibility, but I haven't seen any that tell me how I get OS X on the SSD without a disc? Can I download the installer on a flash drive somehow? Also, I am wondering if this really is a good idea, using my Macbook Pro's HDD for a backup HDD, instead of buying one? I have no use for it anyway, if and when I get a new SSD. BTW, the HDD is the upgraded factory 500gb 7200rpm. Also, do you think it's smarter to have a bigger backup drive than internal drive? In other words, I would like to get a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD, and my current HDD is only 500GB.... I am a musician and need a lot of storage for musical purposes. I use Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live 9, Office, and Photoshop.... My Macbook Pro is a Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15.4' 2.2ghz quad core i7 8gb RAM. Oh yeah and a mother thing is, I think I should get an enclosure that has a thunderbolt port with usb, what are your thoughts?
How to Make my Macbook Pro's internal HDD external, when I get a SSD?
Get an externel enclosure at the same time.
You can order from OWC
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Put the SSD in the externel enclosure and use something like Carbon Copy Cloner, to clone the internal drive and all it content to the SSD. Then swap them out.
Always good to have more than one backup.
