How do you download windows and powerpoint on your macbook pro?
PLEASE HELP!!!
You either have to use BootCamp to create a partition for Windows or install virtualiztion software to run Windows.
But there is really no need to do that if you get a copy of Office for Mac. That will install on OS X directly.

How do I download Windows 7 into my new MacBook Pro
How do I install windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro?
I won't speak to how to obtain Windows 7, which you'll need to purchase or you must have a Key that you've purchased or own.
You have two choices to use Windows 7. First, are the virtual Windows emulator, using Parallels or Fusion (I think those are the only 2 but there might be others). I never liked them much (nor do I like Windows, but sometimes you've got to use them). They are slow and memory hogs, so you need a ton of memory to use them (8GB good, 16GB better). But you can use Windows and easily move over to OSX because Windows is in an OSX window. Easy.
We're not going to tell you how to install Windows 7 with those emulators, there are forums for them at the company website. It's not easy, but it's not terribly difficult.
VMware Fusion: Run Windows on Mac for Desktop Virtualization
Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac
Your other choice, which is better and free, is Boot Camp. Boot Camp runs Windows natively, no emulator. But, you don't have access to Mac OSX unless you log out of Boot Camp. Again, this isn't the place to learn about it, go to the Boot Camp forum for more details.

My question was how do you control bass and treble n a Mac Pro with the latest software.
The answer is you can't
In summary why don't you say that upfront?
Instead of reading a bunch of crap that says nothingjust a suggestion: try soundflower or Audio Hijack Pro. I know with the 2nd one, you can control the bass, treble, and all that, with anything that makes sound, from itunes, to Safari, DVD player, Skype ( I guess) and other stuff. Worth the $, IMO, so in answer to your question dbumgardner1, no, no you can't. I suppose in that sense, Windows has us at a loss. We also need 2nd party stuff to play BluRay's, too. However, I haven't seen any Macintosh viruses (virii?) for a long long time....
so, there's that....

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
with OS X.
3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
applications without having to install Windows. The
Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive. -
How do you get sound and video from a macbook pro (before 2010) onto a 2010 toshiba 40" tv?
Any help on connecting a macbook pro (late 2009) to a 2010 toshiba 40" for both sound and video? I have the mini-hdmi cable, but have no idea about running sound through the tv. I can use the headphone jack, but don't know where to connect it to on the back of the tv. Am I supposed to change any settings on the tv or computer to allow the sound to go through the tv? thanks for any help.
You need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable.

How do you do a master reset on your macbook pro os x
i want to to reset my macbook pro back to the factory condtions how do i do that
Restoring Your Computer to Its Factory Settings
When you restore your computer to its factory settings, everything on your computer
(your user accounts, network settings, and all of your files and folders) is deleted. Before
you restore, back up any files you want to keep by copying them to another disk.
Write down your network settings from Network preferences to make it easier to get
connected again after reinstalling Mac OS X.
1 Make sure you’re connected to the Internet by using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network.
2 In the Mac OS X Utilities pane, select Disk Utility and click Continue.
3 Select the disk in the list on the left, and then click the Erase tab.
4 Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the Format pop-up menu, type a name for
the disk, and then click Erase.
5 After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
6 In the Mac OS X Utilities pane, select Reinstall Mac OS X and click Continue.
7 To reinstall Mac OS X and your applications, follow the instructions in the Mac OS X
Installer
After restoring Mac OS X and your Apple applications, you can selectively restore your
other data and applications from a Time Machine backup. -
How do you know what kind of ssd your macbook pro has?
I have an older macbook pro (the one with a intel core 2 duo) but I don't know which kind of ssd it has. I checked system profiler but I did not see it. I have not upgraded it so I am assuming this is the default ssd. I want to also upgrade the ssd, but nor sure which one is good. I was thinking OCZ Vertex SATA II 2.5'' (not sure what size 50-480 gb).
Go to System Profiler > SERIAL-ATA > Then you will have the Model numbers - Just google them & you should get your drive!

How do you download music and burn to a cd so it will play in a car radio
How do you download music and burn to a cd so it will play in a car radio?
Download the tracks you want form the iTunes Store, Amazon MP3, or other online music retailer.
Use iTunes to put them into a playlist.
Open the playlist and click File > Burn Playlist to Disc. (Have a blank CD-R ready for this step.) When the dialog comes up, choose "Audio CD."
This will create an audio CD that will play in a normal CD player such as the kind found in cars. -
How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.
What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad -

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?
That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

Assuming you still have the CD's and they are still readable:
Delete everything "jumbled" from your iTunes Library.
Insert the CD, and do not read them into iTunes, but copy them instead into a folder with the name you want in your iTunes Library afterwards, insert the next CD and copy it into a second folder (different name), etc.
Then put the first folder into Yourname/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
Start iTunes and see it appear in the iTunes Library. Close iTunes, do the same with the next folder, etcetera
That was excessively complicated, and NOT how you import CD's into iTunes. I have imported nearly 1000 CD's into iTunes and never once, not once, have I fulled around with folders. That is done in preferences. That's not how iTunes works. William needs to post his question to the iTunes for Mac forum, where much easier solutions will be provided. -
How can I download Microsoft office excel for my MacBook Pro for free?
You can't. Excel is a commercial product sold by Microsoft in an Office "package" and not as a stand-alone product.
If you need to be able to open and save Excel documents on your Mac, however, you could try the free LibreOffice.

How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?
There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
Good luck,
Clinton
