How to slave a Macbook pro with no OS

Helping a friend who just got a (Macbook pro 2) secondhand without any OS installed (HD wiped clean).
He is replacing his current MB Pro that is running 10.4.11.
I hoped a USB to USB would allow the new computer to be recognized as a HD on the desktop of the old one, but that's not working.
How do I get the old one (MB Pro) to recognize the new OS-less one (Macbook pro 2) so that I can clone the old computer to the new. He cannot find any disks in his house after version 9 (!!), so I cannot install another copy of the OS on the new computer and slave it directly.
Any ideas how to accomplish this? Seems like it ought to be easy, but I'm doing this long distance without the computers in front of me, and I'm at a loss.
Thanks for your help.

Connect them with a Firewire cable then Boot the old MacBook Pro with 'T' held down to force Target disc mode (will appear as a Volume on the other Desktop) then you should be able to clone over.

How to buy a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard?

Hello,
I work at a University, we have a new researcher here that wants us to purchase a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard. For three weeks we have been unable to get anywhere. We have a University account manager, but she hasn't made any progress. We are willing to pay the retail price of a MacBook Pro in Sweden, we just can't get anyone to take our money.
We can't be the only University in America that has a need for foreign language support.
Thanks for listening.

If you really must have a Swedish physical keyboard (which is not necessary for typing Swedish unless the person can't type without seeing what is on the keys), the place to look for one is

How to control a MacBook Pro remotely with ARD?

I have ARD set up and installed, but I'm not sure how to set up a connection with the MBP so I can control and observe the MBP with ARD.
Looking for a easy tutorial for a beginner in ARD.

Hi apple is awesome,
Just to check, you have one computer, with ARD installed, and your trying to use that computer to control your "BMP"?
If so:
On your BMP, you would want to setup sharing:
go to the white menu bar at the top of the screen
click on the Apple Menu
chose "System Preferences..."
when System Preferences opens, click the "Show All" button
click on the "Sharing" icon
if the lock in the bottom left corner of the window is locked, then click on it to unlock sharing
At the top of the window there will be a field labeled "Computer Name:" make sure your computer has a name you'll recognize.
Check "Remote Management"
Click on the words "Remote Management
If "Allow Access for:" is set to "All Users", Click the "Options.." button
If "Allow Access for:" is set to "Only These Users:" then:
if the user you wish to connect as is not on the "Only These Users:" list, click on the "+" button
from the list of Users that pops up, select the user you wish to login with.
click the "Select Button"
you should be prompted with a list of actions you can allow to be remotely accessed by ARD.
Check: Observe, Control, Show when being Observed, Generate Reports, Open and Quit Applications, Change Settings, Delete And Replace items, Start text chat or send Messages, Restart and Shutdown, Copy Items.
Click the "OK" Button
Cose System Preferences
Your BMP should now be ready to be remotely connected to. (assuming the firewall on the BMP is off, and no other program like little snitch, or internet barrier is running)
To connect to your BMP:
On your ARD computer, open Apple Remote Desktop
If you look on the left hand side of In Apple Remote Desktop there will be a column, the second item on the column listed Should be "Scanner" click on it
Make sure scanner is set to "bonjour"
from the list, on the right side of ARD you should see you BMP listed with what ever name you set in sharing.
click on it, to select the computer
click on the control screen icon from the tool bar.
you will be prompted for the user name and password to use to connect to the computer.
Good Luck!

I have somehow the same problem. I just bought the new iPhone 4S and tried to connect it to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6, latest version, model 2011). The Phone did not see the Mac but the Mac the Phone, so I connected the Phone via Mac.
It worked for about 5 seconds, but then I got this error message:
It's German and means that the network is not available.
Of course I tried again to connect, but I now get always this error:
It says that the device is not available...
I deleted the iPhone from the list under Mac and tried again, but it's still the same.
No my Questions to the community:
Why does the iPhone not see the MacBook?
Why does it allways disconnect?
Is Sync not possible via Bluetooth?
Thanks for your help!

How good is a Macbook Pro with dual video cards for gaming?

I've been a PC guy my whole life (aside from my iPhone which I love). My gf has been pushing me to try out a mac and considering how my PC laptops have a pretty good track record of dying on me or encountering some other problems after a year or two, I can't help but consider making the investment. The only thing is, I'm a big gamer and usually get the latest games. I'm not super tech savvy though I do my research and get a sense of what kind of specs are better and worse.
In terms of gaming, I always assumed that more ram = better. In that sense, I'm a little put off that even the most expensive MacBook Pro only comes with 4 gigs of ram (which is what my year and a half old laptop has now) especially when it seems most newer laptops have 8 gigs minimum for a fraction of the price (and 16 gigs if you're willing to spend as much as you would on the most expensive macbook pro). Does RAM somehow work differently on a Mac or is it truly that little?
Also, how does the whole dual video card thing work, does that mean I'd be having the power of those two cards put together?
Personally, I've been leaning towards the Asus G53SX-NH71 because I can buy it for less than the cost of the cheapest macbook pro and as far as gaming purposes go it seems to have more power than even the most expensive Macbook which costs over double the price.
Am I missing something here? Do the dual video cards really bring that much to the table or for gaming purposes am I better off with a PC?
Thanks.

I've been watching this forum for years, and I'll have to say that gamers are not a big group around here. A few things. First, getting 8GB of RAM for the MacBook Pro is cheap. Most people either don't care, pay Apple to do it, or, like me, DIY. The max you put in a MBP is 8GB, so no 16GB, unless you were looking at the iMac or MacPro.
Second, there is no dual video card in a MacBook Pro. There is an integrated video card, an Intel HD3000, which shares RAM with the CPU, or a discrete video card, an AMD, various versions on different MBP's. The Intel is for low battery usage. The AMD is more powerful, and it's to be used when you've got power. The video card has more applications than just gaming, but also in video and photo editing.
No one here is going to talk you into one platform or another. If you are only going to game in Windows, then it's a waste to get a Mac. If you're going to game in Windows but want the Mac side to do everything else, the build quality and elegance of the Mac will far exceed most products out there. You can run Windows in Boot Camp natively, and as I understand, gamers love it, because the Mac is actually a better Windows machine than most Windows machines. But I don't play games, so I have no proof.
So the choice is yours. And we could argue all day long about the side by side comparison of a cheap Windows machine vs. the Mac. You are using the price vs. price comparison that is a false dichotomy, ignoring how one values various features. For example, the trackpad on a MacBook Pro far exceeds (and I mean light year exceeds) anything on any other laptop out there.
I spent 10 minutes answering your question. I'm not debating you on x vs. y. The choice is totally on what you're going to do. Most of us are trying to contribute to the world, so gaming is low on the needs list.

HT5815 Updated to 10.8.5 and now I cannot control my macbook pro with the track pad. Any solutions?

Like any other time, the App Store said there was a new update and asked if I wanted to update now. I did. Unfortunately, the update, after rebooting, has rendered the system unusable. I can no longer control the system with the track pad. The arrow is moving itself around the screen and the Launchpad periodically opens itself and gets locked in that mode. I've rebooted, launched in safe mode, and zapped PRAM. Nothing has changed. I experienced the same thing in safe mode, no change. Anyone else having these problems? Not sure what to do next.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable.
2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check for unknown or forgotten input devices. Disconnect any USB input devices that you aren't using.
3. Boot in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you reboot as usual, stop here and post your results. If you can't boot in safe mode, do the same. If you booted in safe mode and there was no change, go on to the next step.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
6. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
7. Some people have reported that they fixed a malfunctioning trackpad by pressing down on all four corners at once. I can't confirm, but it does no harm to try.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

How-to sync my Macbook pro with my main iTunes library on another computer?

I bet that question came up already, but I can't easily find any reference to it. Anyways, here I go.
I have a desktop @ home with 1TB of disk space, and I'm using a Macbook Pro as my work laptop. I'd like to be able to sync up my Macbook Pro as if it was an iPod or appletv, so I can bring my music at work and even sync my movies when I travel.
Is that possible using iTunes and if not, does Apple have any plans to implement that feature? I don't want to use a 3rd party software or start playing with rsync to do that. iTunes should be able to support it.
Thanks!
David

He wants to take his laptop to work away from his home network so the itunes sharing won't work with that.
There are some streaming server options you can setup such as slimserver http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_features.html
I've used that and it gives you access to your library. Gotta have an internet connection but its easier than copying songs back and forth all the time.

How to sync new Macbook Pro with 2011 iMAC on Snow Leapord

Hello,
This is my first post so hello!
My small business has an office iMAC and a Macbook Air both running 10.6.8. The two aren't synced in any way other than that the Air can access files from the iMAC's hard drive via the network. I have 2 email accounts on the iMAC's mail and just one of them set up on the Air.
I've just bought a new 15" Macbook Pro running Lion.
I'd like to be able to sync some folders (but definitely not all), bookmarks, iTunes and mail accounts between the iMAC and the new Macbook Pro. Ideally I'd like to be able to access the shared/synced folders when I don't have an internet connection
What's the best method?
Snow Leapord doesn't have iCloud does it? If not, why the **** not?
Is it just easiest to set up the email accounts on the new MBP as normal and then use dropbox for the folders I want to share? Can I access the with no internet connection?
One other question, can i link a gmail account to my Apple mail?
Thanks for any help.
Best wishes
Dave.

No. It was a feature that was introduced with the release of 10.7.2. I do not know why it was not introduced on earlier versions. Probably the same reasons why some features will be introduced in later versions of OS X that will not be found on older versions.
