How do I set up starry night with MacBook pro on the USB port with a serial/USB adapter?

How do I set up a MacBook Pro running Lion to interface with Starry Night software? My telescope is a Meade LX200GPS with a serial input. I have tried using a Radio Shack USB/Serial adapter which worked when I used a Windows 7 laptop but does not work with my MacBook Pro.

Just started to research this on both this site and on Starry Night .I was hoping to find a driver for the Radio Shack USB Serial Adapter from Apple's site. Radio Shack only has the Windows driver that came with the adapter. Will let you know when I find the right driver. Stay tuned.

    HI,

    HI Ralph,
    I'm having a hard time finding solution for iMessage.
    I can't send to one specific contact - we both use 4s iOS 6.1.3 and so is he.
    We cant send to each other. We tried to on/off sign in And sign out Apple ID on both phone and still doesn't work
    We even reset and erase content on his iPhone.
    We use different Apple ID.
    Looking forward to your reply, thanks in advance!
    I have added some punctuation and spread out the text to see if I have understood what you were saying.
    The Original Post  was about iMessages from the Mac Messages app.
    Now we are talking about  two people with  an iPhone each.
    You seem to be centered on something being amiss with his set up as you have Reset and Erased his iPhone  (no info on any restore from any backup).
    Can he/could he contact with anyone else before you reset his iPhone ?
    Can he contact anyone else now ?
    If this person cannot contacts anyone from his iPhone it would seem he has not set up the iPhone correctly.
    This may be a simple thing such as not having a Data Contract and therefore having Data Off and not be connected to a Wifi Network either.
    It may be more involved such as there being an issue with his Apple ID.
    If he removes the Apple ID  can he Send from the iPhone Number ?

  • How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro Spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo?

    How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Apple says no memory currently available for that model. I have 4 GB memory and 3.99 used. Help!

    Now I'm confused. This is the one Crucial told me to get:

    $45.99
    Also what do you mean that actual memory is 16GB but with Apple it's 8?
    When I go to the "About this Mac" it says Memory 4G 1067 MHz DDR3, then when I go to System Report it says
     Memory Slot
    Bank 0/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
    Bank 1/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
    Sorry I'm clueless. Just don't want to buy something that messes up my machine more than it already is.
    The Crucial site appears to have recommended the correct spec 4gB RAM stick for your model. Please note that you will need to remove the existing sticks of RAM to install new, so you will need 2x4gB to get to 8gB.
    When your model of computer was designed/built, it was tested with readily available 2x4gB (8gB). After release RAM retailers have tested it with higher amounts, and Apple didn't update their quoted specs.

  • Is there any way to buy a MacBook Pro in the USA, but with a European plug?

    I'm going to get a MacBook Pro from the USA, but I live in Belgium, so I wondered if you could get a plug for Belgium straight from the US, or if you needed an adapter.

    Apple retail stores will take cash.  But, I would say it is very uncommon, in my experience, in their stores.  The sales personal are all set up to deal with credit or debit cards remotely (ie. there are no "checkout" lines, it is all done wirelessly), so dealing with cash is not the normal mode of transaction.
    Not many shoppers routinely wander around malls with several thousands of dollars in cash in their pockets (even most "cash" only folks would likely use a debit card, not actual cash)!  Plus, since many people get special compensation with their credit cards (not talking points and such, but my VISA card gives me double the manufacturers warranty, as well theft and accidental damage insurance coverage for the first 90 days), even those of us who never carry over a balance still prefer to use the credit card and get the perks (I especially like the insurance, as I have to at least get my expensive item home safely before I can use it).

  • Bluetooth headphones don't work with Macbook pro Retina, but they do with iMac.  Why???

    I AM NOT AN EXPERT.  I AM MAKING ASSUMPTIONS.  My issue, tech spec's and assumptions are listed below.
    MY ISSUE:
    My Rocketfish headphones work perfectly with my iMac but not with my Macbook Pro Retina.
    The Macbook Pro does recognize the device but when I try to connect, it gives me the following error message:
    "The device does not have the necessary services".
    TECH SPEC
    iMac has OS X 10.7.5
    Macbook Pro Retina has OS X 10.8.2
    MY ASSUMPTION
    If I upgrade to 10.8.2 I will not be able to use the headphones.
    Or
    The new Macbook Pro's are only functional with bluetooth headphones that have certain specs.

  • 3 Screens with MacBook Pro 13' ? or just with the 15'

    is it possible to connect 3 screens (no Thunderbold) with the MacBook Pro 13' Retina (early 2013) or only with the 15' Retina with the external graphics card.

    Hi,
    It really depends on what you'll be using the MacBook Pro for.
    If you're selling your iMac, will your MacBook Pro be a desktop replacement? If so, I would go down the 15" i5/i7 route, but that's based on HD encoding requirements I currently do on my iMac.
    As it is, I recently sold a 2008 unibody 15" 2.53GHz as I found it too large to comfortably carry around. I was thinking iPad, but decided a 13" MacBook Pro was the best of both worlds, a fairly capable mobile offering, physically smaller than my old 15" unibody yet more powerful than an iPad.
    The 13" reminds me of my original PowerBook G4 12", which was my prefect travel companion (computer wise).

  • How do I set permissions between iMac and Macbook Pro using apple extreme base station hooked up to comcast modem

    I am trying to share files on my iMac with my wife's macbook Pro for which I am set up as a second user with administration privileges.  I think i have the computers finding each other (for example my iMac shows up on the shared list in my wifes's finder window), but when I try to open a file it says I do not have permission(s).  Is there a manual I can look at that walks me through this step by step.
    I know I have to mark files on my iMac to allow for sharing.  How do I designate a particular user as having permission to share.  I only want to be able to share my iMac when I am logged in on my user account on the Macbook Pro (and vise versa, I would like to be able to access the files on the Macbook Pro, when I am logged in as the user on my iMac.
    Thank you for your assistance and precious time.

    Through a browser.
    I am supposed to have it set so that it is placed at:
    http://c5414.airsight.net  but nothing gets there.
    Some places have mention that I need to set up port forwarding,
    others have mentioned DDNS or UPNP,
    How do I do these or is there a better way to send http://10.0.11.1/main.html

  • How do I set Exchange Webmail in my MacBook pro?

    How do I set an email in exchange webmail?  I have an iPad and iphone and was able to do so easily but not so for the MacBook pro.  There is no place to put the domain nor do I know some of the required data like internal or external server.

    What version of Exchange is your organization using. Mail support Exchange 2007 and later, if they are on an earlier version you are out of luck until they upgrade. If it is on 2007 or later I found this under Mail's help menu:
    Syncing IMAP and Exchange 2007 accounts
    With Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) and Exchange 2007 mail accounts, mailboxes and messages are stored on the server so you can access them from multiple locations or computers. Mail syncs the mailboxes on your computer with those on the server, ensuring that mailboxes on your computer reflect actions taken while viewing mail on the server, such as marking messages as read, deleting messages, or moving messages between mailboxes.
    Before using your account offline, manually sync the account with your computer so you know you’re working offline with up-to-date messages.
    To manually sync an account with your computer:
    Choose Mailbox > Synchronize [account name] or, if you have more than one account, Mailbox > Synchronize All Accounts.
    Mail copies all messages to your computer. Depending on how many messages you have, and the speed of your connection, this may take several minutes. To monitor the syncing progress, choose Window > Activity.
    To be more specific about which messages and attachments you want to keep on your computer, select the account in the Accounts pane of Mail preferences, click Advanced, and then choose an option from the “Keep copies of messages for offline viewing” pop-up menu. Keeping copies of messages and attachments on your computer ensures they are included in Time Machine backups and improves junk mail filtering.
    When you go offline, you’re disconnected from the mail server. Any changes you make to messages are also made to the copies of the messages on your computer. When you go back online, the changes are copied to the server.

  • HT3275 How do I set up my iMac and Macbook Pro to both backup to my single Time Capsule?

    I previously backed up my Macbook Pro to my Time Capsule.  I am now trying to use the same TC to backup an iMac. However, I get an error saying the "MBP sparsebundle is already in use". I think that is 'cos my iMac is backing up, but I need to know how to resolve this ASAP.

    They use separate sparsebundles so the issue is something else.. often with lion there are issues with a device keeping the TC open.. you log into the disk area of the airport utility manual setup, and use disconnect all users.. the backup should then work.

    It sounds like you are running an older version of OS X (probably SnowLeopard).  What version of OS X are you running?
    Mavericks is the newest version (10.9), and is a free upgrade.
