How do I add a computer to network with my MacBook Pro?

I'm having difficulty getting my new MacBook Pro to recognize my PC on my home network in order to print. The MacBook Pro is not accepting the software for the hp printer. The message window states "...can't open the hp-all-in-one installer because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

You need to go to the HP website and download the current installer. That one you are using is about six years old.
Can you connect the printer directly to the Mac? If so, you should be able to have it find the correct drivers by adding the printer in the Print & Scan system prefs.

Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

HT1338 How do I use a philips PicoPix projecter with my MacBook Pro

How do I use a philips PicoPix projector with my MacBook Pro

depends what ports your projector supports. You do not give the exact model.
The standard way is to use MiniDisplay (AKA Thunderbolt) port on your MacBookPro and use an adapter to
ideally HDMI or DVI worst solution VGA.
All depends what the projector has at the back.

How do I change the phone number associated with my macbook pro

I have a new macbook pro and it somehow is associated with my husbands phone number and not mine. So when I text it comes from his phone and all contacts associated with his phone. How do I switch it to be my iphone?

Hello RoandCo,
It sounds like Messages on your MacBook Pro is associated with your husbands Apple ID phone number and not yours. On the computer check the Messages Preferences to see which Apple ID is setup with this article:
Messages (Mavericks): Set up your accounts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15055
Open Messages on your computer and then:
Choose Messages > Preferences, click Accounts, then select iMessage in the Accounts list.
If the Apple ID is not yours and has the wrong phone number in it, you can sign out of the account and setup your Apple ID instead with the sign out button.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

I can no longer connect to the cloud which is a free wifi network with my macbook pro although my iPad is fine.

thecloud are not providing much help and I wonder whether any of you know how I can clear any settings that might need to be refreshed. I can connet to other wifi networks with no problem.

They seem to think this is a known issue for MACS

How do I know which ssd is compatible with my MacBook Pro..

My MacBook Pro would not boot up. Took it to the Genius Bar and found out that I need a new hard drive. I want to replace it with a Solid State drive, but how do I know which one is compatible with my particular machine?
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

On a late 2008 MBP, you want an SSD that can handle Sata 1/2/3 so it can be used in this machine, and can be migrated all the way to a 2012 SATA machine. Machines later than 2012 primarily use PCIe flash and are not considered user-replacable.
I have used a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB in a 2008 MBP. You can look at Crucial, OWC, Intel, Samsung brands.

Connecting to a foreign wireless network with my macbook pro

hi
i'm swapping my NY apt for one in italy. i have a brand new mac book pro and can see the network on my airport, and i have the WPA password. when i enter the password it says it's invalid.
i've read the apple support pages and troubleshooted the password, adding $ to the beginning of the password, quotes, X0 etc. to no success.
i have my swap's spare laptop here (hence i'm able to write here) and her laptop gets on the network with no problem. there's no ethernet cable here for me to try and see if i can get on that way.
i'm wondering if it has something to do with the modum settings (which i looked at on her laptop but they're um, in italian)...for example, there is an option for me to make the network public, but then i get a warning about the firewall (in italian).
i'm also wondering if it has something to do with my airport settings...do i need to change something in my airport preferences under 802.1?
i think it has something to do with her modum settings. but really i have no idea.
i've used the assist feature in airport, i've gone through diagnostics, i've restarted the modum and the laptop...
any ideas? thanks.

hmmmmmmmph. after asking my swap again and again for the password, she gave it to me again, with 5 more characters. yup...now i have PERFECT wireless!!!!!!
sigh. THANKYOU for your help....
sadly, in the meantime i managed to kill her wireless conection on her italian laptop, destroy her settings and can't find a way to resolve it because all the notifications are in italian. (i tried to make the network open) i'll have to call her tech guy to come in and reset them i suppose. argh!!
regardless...my mac has a great wireless connection now (if i had only had the correct password -- lesson learned...) happy happy happy...back to work...
thanks

How do I adjust the display and sound with my Macbook Pro connected to my Sony Bravia?

I just bought the DVI - HDMI and then connected my Mac to my 46" Sony Bravia. It works obviously cause I'm typing right now, but it is so painful to try and read anything less than what appears to be 14 font or so. The display is set at 1080p obviously because that's the whole point of this, but is there a way to try and make things bigger? I don't want to sit super close to the TV and fry my eyeballs, that also defeats the purpose of this. Another question regarding sound. It seems I can only adjust the sound from my keyboard, but I would rather do it through my TV's volume control so I can make things louder. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. My dumbself forgot that right next to my new TV is my old TV, a 40" Samsung LCD. Now I put it on my desk and I have it in 1080p and everything is going good except for the fact that I can't see the top bar on my desktop and now the sound seems to be coming exclusively from my Mac instead of my TV, although I still have it hooked up with an HDMI cable. Any new thoughts?
EDIT: Ok fixed the display issue, but I'm still getting sound out of my Mac. Really confused on what to do. I don't see why I could get audio out of my Sony TV with an HDMI cable but not my Samsung. Doesn't the same principle apply? Xbox and PS3 work that way, so pretty confused unless I need to get a digital audio cable or something.

If everything else is the same, that is strange. I have seen a post or two that reported only certain HDMI ports working with computer input, so if the Sammy has another HDMI input, give that a try.
