How to get pop up reminders to work on macbook pro running lion

I presently have all of my devices, ipod, iphone and macbook pro syncing beautifully in icloud with one exception.  If I create a reminder it will pop up on my ipad and iphone, but not my macbook.  Sometimes I am at the macbook and want to see that popup from reminders.  I love that I can create it on my ipad and it shows up on my macbook in ical, but I don't get the same alert I will get on my ipad or iphone. I am just scatterbrained enough that those pop-ups are very helpful.  I have been in system prefs and ical prefs but not finding anything for this.  Help is appreciated

  • My Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7 will no longer connect to either my HP or Epson printers. Both printers report that they are connected to the correct wireless network and until 2 weeks ago work perfectly.

    My Macbook pro running Lion 10.7 will not connect via a wireless network to either of my printers, Epson and HP. Both printers report an excellent connection to the correct network. The Macbook reports "printer not found"
    Until 2 weeks ago all worked well. Both printers makes me think some setting in the computer must have changed.
    Any suggestions?

  • How do I get Snow to work with MacBook Pro running Tiger?

    I have a MacBook Pro running Tiger (obviously), and have been trying to get my Snow base station (a.k.a. Dual Ethernet) to work with it, but couldn't.
    After hours of searching these pages, Apple Support and Google, I found this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301510
    So...it seems like it can't be done. The question now is...what do I do? The Support page doesn't give me any help
    Anyone have any tips?

    Just to confirm, n5k, the article 301510 says, 'To administer the original AirPort Base Station (Graphite) or second-generation AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet) from a Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" computer, you must use AirPort Admin Utility'. It doesn't say it can't be done at all, just that that neither of the Airport Setup Assistants will work.
    I'm having the same problem as you, accessing the Internet from a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.6 (yes, obviously) through a Snow Base Station. Now I am wondering if we will be helped by the MacBook Pro SMC (whatever that stands for) Firmware Update which I am downloading now.

    How do I set up a VPN on a MacBook Pro that is running Mountain Lion?

    Open System Preferences and choose Network. In the left column, click the "+" to add a new interface. In the dialog that appears, name the service and choose the interface type VPN. The rest of the configuration details depends on the VPN settings of the server you are connecting to.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do you get a jump drive to work on MacBook pro?

    I have a new MacBook pro and I am trying to access work from a jump drive and my computer is not recognizing the drive. Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong or how to fix it? Thanks!

    Have you tried the other USB port? Do you have any other USB drive to connect to see if the port is not working? When the jump drive is connected open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. Is the drive listed in the DU sidebar?

  • How to get win7 installed on optibay HDD on macbook pro

    Hi all,
    so I am in a bit of a pickle
    I recently bought a new 15" MPB with an apple installed 128gb SSD drive.
    My plan was to install a 2nd hard drive in the DVD spot, a 500gb with a 70ish GB win7 partition. I would like to use Win 7 for screencasting for windows tutorials and for Gaming...mostly for gaming
    I thought, naively, that this would be a simple boot agent setup...boy was I wrong.
    I have already installed the 500gb drive in the optibay, it is working fine
    I did not realize that a macbook pro cannot boot to an external drive or dvd. I could be wrong here but all my research seems to indicate that it can't...using something like refit does not fix this problem
    I tried going through the boot camp setup with my external dvd drive attached through USB...did not work
    also tried a USB thumb drive...no dice
    sooo
    any ideas on how to get a win7 install on my 2nd drive?
    I'd like to avoid having win7 on my 128gb ssd as there is limited space
    can I install win7 on the drive on an actual windows machine and then transfer it to the macbook?
    could I install the win7 partition to my ssd boot drive and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the partition to the 500gb?
    its actually kind of an interesting problem...but I'm stumped
    any and all help appreciated.

    I'm sure someone else who knows about this will pitch in. Although my monitor is HP 23 inch  and has both VGA and HDMI and have no issues. I don't have the miniport to VGA connector so I can't test it out with the VGA. Sorry for my inconvenience.

  • How to get clamshell mode with Windows 7 on Macbook Pro?

    Hi,
    I am running Windows 7 on Macbook Pro using bootcamp. In OS-X, I can use this cool clamshell feature wherein after putting the MBP to sleep by closing the lid, as soon as I connect an external keyboard, mouse & monitor, I get the display on the monitor and immediately start using the keyboard & mouse too, converting the laptop instantaneously to a desktop.
    I am trying to do the same thing on Windows 7, close the lid of the laptop to put it to sleep, connect my external monitor, mouse & keyboard, but however the laptop never wakes up (even after moving the mouse & pressing keys in the keyboard). I tried several things in Windows 7. Under Power Options, Disabled "selective Suspend of USB", but that did not help. Next, in the "Device Manager", for the "Root USB Hub" & "Generic USB Hub", I tried to set "Allow this device to wake up the computer", under Properties -> Power Management, but that option is grayed out. I tried to experimented with Sleep types like S1, S2, S3, but except for S3, the other two are shown as "not supported by firmware" (using powercfg option in command line). Countless hours wasted on google search to get this working with no success
    I would greatly appreciate any help on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Sri

    @mkultraviolent,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    That seems to be a useful workaround, but I do not find the option mentioned in Display/ Nvidia control panel. However, I find an option in the "Power Options" which has a "Do Nothing" option in the combo box to select what "Closing the Lid" does. Is that what u are referring to?
    Also, one problem in this approach is, if we do not sleep when the display is closed, that will keep the internal display (laptop's display) running in clamshell mode even after the lid is closed? (which will heat up the laptop badly).
    The exact option I am looking for is, while the laptop is in sleep & lid closed state, connecting the external keyboard/mouse/monitor and pressing a key in the keyboard or moving the mouse should wake the computer from sleep. If this happens, the internal display won't be running. I am able to achieve this in OS-X.
    In Windows7, I have a workaround by which I can almost achieve this result, wherein, while the laptop is in lid-closed, sleeping state, after connecting the external devices (keyboard/mouse/monitor), I open the laptop's lid for a fraction of second, quickly move my finger over the touchpad & close the lid again. This wakes up the laptop, & while it is waking up, Windows realizes that the lid is closed and that external devices are connected and gets into clamshell mode (I have verified that in this state, the internal display is not running).
    This workaround was fine so far, but I got this hengedocks docking station for my macbook, and I am no longer able to use the workaround, because, after plugging my macbook into the docking station, I cannot open the lid. So, the only option is to make Windows7 realize that external devices are connected & wake up on external keyboard stimuli (Hence the question).
    If my question is not clear, this video kind of explains what I want to achieve:

  • How to get @ sign in MS Word/Outlook on MacBook Pro in Windows?

    I've been looking everywhere I can think of for a solution to this, so any help would be hugely appreciated.
    I've just converted to using Mac (finally!) with a new MacBook Pro, but still forced to use Windows XP for some tasks, and I have a really annoying problem with a keyboard shortcut.
    I finally disocvered that in Windows you must use CtrlAlt2 to get the @ sign, but for some reason this works everywhere EXCEPT in Word and Outlook. This has the really annoying side effect that you can't really type in an email address in Outlook, as you're lacking the @ sign. I'm getting tired of copying and pasting via Notepad ... Does anyone have a solution to this!?
    Also, what's up with the / |§ keys swapping places in Windows? Unlike the @ sign, they are actually in the same place on the keyboard, so there shouldn't be any reason to change that.
    Thanks in advance!

  • I cannot get my new projector to work with Macbook Pro

    Does anyone know how to hook up a projector to a laptop with dvi-i port? I have a 2008 MacBook Pro with DVI-I out and a new projector. i bought a DVI to HDMI cable and the projector couldsee some weird version of my laptop screen but could not see the movie that was playing, very weird. I don't know if I have the wrong cable, if there is an Apple compatibility issue or what. I cannot seem to find a DVI to analog cable adaptor (Fry's said I would have to pay $100 for a converter)
    Help! Thanks.

    you need a dvi to hdmi, or can you use VGA, make  the connection from the Mac to the projector. Mac on projector off. Turn on the projector, it should detect the image, there will not be audio with HDMI, you will need to connect to the in house sound system. Same with VGA.
    If it still does not see it go to system preferences>dislpays, detect displays, then adjust the resolution

  • How to get Original OS DVD That Came With MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I bought this MacBook Pro last year - I think I did not get a restore DVD with the OS etc. with it. Is there a way for me to get it from Apple?
    Thanks,
    Apurva

    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -
