How do you put a 2007 Mac book pro back to original condition
Hi. I have a 2007 MacBook Pro. I decided to reinstall the operating system and it failed. It got so far into the installation that it erased my hard drive. So I tried to boot it from the disk again but it just ejects it. I tried using the "C" key and that didn't work. I also tried holding down the "Option" key and selected the Mac OS Snow Leopard Install Disk, but it still just ejects it. I even tried to reset the PRAM and SMC, but it still didn't work. So how do I boot from the disk to reinstall the operating system on it?
Hi J,
Is this the original disc which came with the MBP? If not, that is likely the issue.
If it is the original disc, is it in good condition and clean?
If yes to both of the above questions, you may have a bad optical drive.
Were both the MBP and the optical drive working fine before this?

Use a product such as ScreenRecycler over a network. All of these products require a standalone monitor to set up.

How do I update a 2007 Mac Book Pro to snow lepeord?
I have a Mac Book pro (2007) I would like to update to Lion but it currently has leopard on it and I need to find snow leopard before I can update to Lion. Where can I update the Mac Book to snow leopard?
You call Apple and purchase a Snow Leopard installer disk. After you install Snow Leopard you update to 10.6.8 and then from the App Store you can purchase and download Lion.

I have an 2007 mac book pro that does not have a place for HDMI cable. Can you please tell which converter I need?
You will need something such as this:

Ciao.
Note that this will only transmit video. If you need sound, the audio output port will have to be tapped.

how can i connect my 2008 mac book pro to a tv?
The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

How do I stop my new Mac book Pro from opening all my old emails and flashing them in the upper right.
Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661 -

What To Do If Your Mac Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Mac before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi. What you cannot do is track your computer using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your computer for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty. Be sure to report the loss or theft to the local police. Have the serial number handy. If your Mac is found it cannot be returned to you if you don’t have the serial number and proof of purchase.
Find My Mac can be used from Find My Phone at iCloud.com and via Find My Phone on your iDevice.
The following is third-party anti-theft software:
1. STEM 2.1
2. MacPhoneHome 3.5
3. MacTrack 7.5.0
4. VUWER 1.7
5. Sneaky Bastar* 0.2.0

My husband was trying to reload and delete printers and he some how reset many settings on his mac book pro - how does he go back and set everything for earlier today
As Terence said you're experiencing a kernel panic. Boot into your System install disk and launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection window. Repair the disk. If DU finds problems and runs repairs do it a second time and then reboot.

How do I recover my Mac Book Pro back to the day I purchased it? Will I lose apps that came with the Mac Book if I recover it?
Press the command and r keys when turning on your Macbook. Do not release those keys until you see the apple logo...
Disk Utility will pop up.....Your choices are to reinstall, you will not lose anything....
if however, you decide to format/erase your drive, then reinstall, you will lose everything...
suggestion - back everything up and do a clean install.
good luck -
