    How do I cut and past on my MACBOOK PRO?

    You can use the hotkeys, as Steve said. It sort of sounds as if you can't right click though.
    If you're using the touchpad, go into system preferences>trackpad, enable "secondary click, tap with 2 fingers". Then, when you click/tap the touchpad with 2 fingers instead of one, it'll right click, giving you the option to copy/paste whatever you highlighted.

    Hi x,
    Here are some links. None of them show your exact model, but keys have been the same/very similar for some time now. You may even want to google and check youtube to see if newer guides are available. If it's just a few keys, the "genius" bar at an Apple Store would probably help you with it.

  • How to install Windows 8 on Mid 09 Macbook Pro (10.8.3)

    So i loved the new Windows 8, and even had it installed before bootcamp supported windows 8 on my new iMac, i waited to buy a bigger hard drive and more ram for my mid 09 Macbook Pro.  The day i bought the new hardware, Apple released 10.8.3, and an updated bootcamp to support Windows 8!  Yay!  I got my install disc out (iso file burned to DVD), opened up bootcamp assistant, only to get an error saying apple dropped support for my mid 09 Macbook Pro and Windows 8.  Making the install impossible through bootcamp.  Do not fret, i have the solution, and EVERYTHING works perfectly.  Here we go.
    Gather your Windows 8 install disc AND a Windows 7 install disc (you can surely find one by searching the net, use your old one, or borrow a colleagues... we are licensing Windows 8, NOT 7, this is just for my trick to fool bootcamp assistant and no i do not condone piracy)
    Inside BootCamp Assistant, the driver download may hang,it did for me, twice..could be heavy usage due to the popular new update...so i recommend downloading it faster, and manually here http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents  and get 4.1.4586  yes this is for windows 7, ALSO while you are there, download the windows 8 support pack 5.0.5033, as we will need that later as well.  As a matter of fact, DO IT THIS WAY and dont bother
    That being said and done, in BootCamp Assistant (OSX), only check off Install Windows 7, leaving the download support software unchecked
    Partition your hard drive as youd like, this splits up your storage space however you like, keep in mind which OS you plan to run the most, and obviously give that one more room, i.e you do all your Photoshop work, and app development in OSX, and only use Windows for office stuff, you'd want to give yourself more room on the OSX side.  I however bought a huge new internal drive to split them basically in half, as i use them both frequently.
    This step is where the trick comes.  OSX 10.8.3 / BootCamp will advise you there is no support for Windows 8..only 7 with your Mid 09 Macbook Pro if you have put your Windows 8 disc in, upsetting you as it did me...possibly bringing you to this post, thats not FAIR is it?  Your 09 MacBook Pro is still JUST AS GOOD as a lot of PC's running Windows 8, why they excluded this model i have no idea...im sure they had reasons, but i dont care at the moment..lol
    INSTEAD place a Windows 7 install disc in, and click next.  BootCamp Assistant will now partition your drive, make the windows side bootable and restart your  MBP.
    Let it do its thing, and eventually you will land at the Windows 7 installation interface.  We don't really want that, we want Windows 8 right? 
    Click the "x" to close the installation for Windows 7, it threatens your MBP will restart, and allow it to do so.
    **IMPORTANT**  Once you hear the beloved Mac chime, quickly press and hold the "option" key.
    This brings you to an area where you can select a startup disk.  At this point, lets get rid of the trick.  Hit your eject button and get rid of the Windows 7 install disc, we are done with it now.
    You now, well in my case anyway, should only see your Mac HD, and the Recovery Disk. 
    Insert your Windows 8 install disc
    Now WAIT.  Eventually, you should see a new DVD looking icon that says Windows pop up next to the MacHD and Recovery Disk.  (depending on what you called your iso, it may something else...not sure, but you cant miss the new entry)
    This is where a wired mouse will be needed, or use tab/space/enter to navigate to the new Windows Disc icon and launch it.
    You are now in Windows 8's installation interface, cool!
    Follow the steps until it asks you where you want to install it.  You should see a partition about equal to what you set earlier in BootCamp Assistant, and it SHOULD say Bootcamp right on it.  Select this partition.  (mine was the last one, the fourth i believe)
    OH NO, it says you cant install it to that partition, this is normal.  You need to highlight/select this partition, and click format.  I cant remember, but i think you have to click "options" to get to a the spot where you can format it.  Pretty straight forward.  Safety check, obviously make sure you have the Bootcamp partition selected, dont format your Mac OSX partition!
    After the quick format is done, Windows 8 installer will then allow you to click "next" and from there the magic happens.
    Go through the whole Windows 8 install, and setup how you would like, this takes awhile, and im not covering that, as its a hand in hand walkthrough like any other install.
    Once your inside your new Windows 8, you'll see a bunch of things not working, like tap to click on your trackpad, no on screen displays for brigtness, volume, and possibly other stuff.  Not cool right? 
    Grab your USB stick, or Burnt disc that you applied the bootcamp support downloads to in the begining of this tutorial.
    FIRST open the Windows 7 Bootcamp install, 4.1.4586, open the folder and find setup.exe and run it (we are in windows 8 now)
    It takes a while, but Apple's BootCamp will install a bunch of drivers, etc, and eventually restart your MBP, which is cool, let it do it.
    Upon finishing, lets go back to the USB/Burnt Disc where all your support software was saved, and lets get the newly support BootCamp 5.0.5033 opened up.
    Big Thanks to a post by ErikVanD i seen on this forum for the next step.
    If you want, try and click setup in this latest BootCamp support set, and you will get another sad error claiming x64 is not supported, something awful to that nature.  Awww man, this far, only to get let down.  Nope.  We are going to fix that.  And this is where ErikVanD's post pointed me to what we do next.
    It was said to navigate in the BootCamp 5.0.5033 folder to something of the effect of BootCamp/Drivers/Apple and run the MSI file "BootCamp"  (MSI file will say Windows Installer in its description, and not necessarily MSI for anyone not too savy with Windows) **note - NOT .bootcamp (notice the period in the front) and it should work and install the new Windows 8 support for your MBP...but in my case it didn't, which is why im posting how i fixed this.  Your setup may somehow be different, but mine gave me an error say it "needs elevated permissions to run, use setup.exe instead.  We tried that remember!  And it gave us the x64 not supported error.  Oh man!  Blabbing aside, this file needs to be ran as an administrator, which yeah your the only user, but Windows is funny like that.  Normally youd just right click, and select run as administrator, but out the box, that option isnt there when you right click, only install, repair, open with etc.  Here's the next trick, you need to add a registry file to enable running as an administrator, dont be afraid, this is an old trick, and really easy. 
    Open notepad in Windows, and create a new doc, call it Add_MSI_run_as_administrator.reg
    Paste this following code into the new doc
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package\Shell\runas] "HasLUAShield"=""  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package\shell\runas\Command] @=hex(2):22,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\    00,25,00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,6d,00,\   73,00,69,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,63,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,22,00,20,00,2f,\   00,69,00,20,00,22,00,25,00,31,00,22,00,20,00,25,00,2a,00,00,00
    Or download the file already made from my company server at http://www.theprojectdev.com/public/pub.html  **i put this there as a courtesy to help others like me, its just a complete reg file, so either create your own through copy and pasting above or download it.  Either way, put it on your desktop.
    Now double click the new registry file, and allow/ok it to do its thing. 
    Once done, you can discard the file from your desktop, or keep, your choice.
    Guess What!?  Now we can do the impossible!  Lets revisit that solution from before by going to the newest BootCamp 5.0.5033, and navigate to BootCamp/drivers/Apple and select that tricky BootCamp MSI file that wouldnt allow us to run, this time RIGHT CLICK it.  Because of our new registry entry we placed, we now have an option to "Run as Administrator"  Click that option.
    WooHoo!  We have done what coudnt be done, BootCamp will now walk you through the installer, and add all the great support for Windows 8 on your mid 09 Macbook Pro that they for some reason neglected!
    After the update, you will endure yet another restart.  From there, most likely using a wired mouse still, navigate to the system tray icon on the bottom right corner of the screen (little up arrow) and click it.  It will pop up a little menu, showing system processes/stuff running, click the gray squared diamond (this is bootcamp) and it will bring up the newest BootCamp control panel.  From here, you can nav to trackpad/touchpad and set tap to click (finally) and gestures, etc.  This control panel has lots of good stuff to make a MBP user feel comfortable in Windows 8.  There you go!  You did it!
    I really, sincerely hope this helps someone, as it really made my day to get this resolved.  I want to add that all On Screen Displays will work (your volume/brightness etc)  they keyboard backlighting, and so much more, it really works great.  I upgraded my hard drive to 1tb, and installed 8gb of PNY RAM from best buy ($40) and it runs Windows 8, AND OSX fantastically.
    My company http://www.theprojectdev.com designs and develops mobile apps (iOS and Android) and web design and development, so im a heavy user of both OS's, and this setup is just the best thing that has happened to me in a portable sense. Runs so so so fast!  Enjoy everyone! 

    **********************IMPORTANT EDIT TO THE TUTORIAL***********************************************************
    Everyone im sorry, i made a mistake informing you which BootCamp support drivers to download from Apple.  You see I originally downloaded my Windows 7 Support from the BootCamp Assistant, and had the version number completely wrong. 
    The first BootCamp install packahe you should down load from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents is actually 4.0.4033 
    That will be your first BootCamp installation in Windows 8 that works.  Im so sorry Markeez for wasting your time, my excitement had blinded me last night.
    Also be sure to copy both 4.0.4033's folder and the latest 5.0.5033 folders to your Windows 8 desktop as well, dont run them off your USB stick or DVD/C, whatever media you copied them to.
    So Markeez, after you download the correct Windows 7 Support Software 4.0.4033, simply click setup.exe and it will run without any trouble.
    Then after the inital BootCamp install is complete, your MBP restarted and all is done, you need to perform the "Run as Administrator" trick i posted above.  Its real easy.  Open notepad, and copy the EXACT code i posted in the tutorial in a fresh new doc, and save the file to your desktop EXACTLY how i posted it Add_MSI_Run_as_administrator.reg 
    Now close notepad, and double click the newly created registry file, and allow it access to do what it needs.  What this does is allows your run the new installer in BootCamp 5.0.5033 as an administrator, which you wont have the option to unless you use this registry file.  
    Ok after the registry part is done, go inside the latest BootCamp 5.0.5033 folder, to BootCamp/drivers/Apple and find BootCamp --- probanly the ottom most MSI file, and again it will not say MSI on the right side, it will say Windows Installer or something to that degree.  Also do NOT confuse it with a similar file in that folder called .bootcamp  this is not the one we need.   OK, so now, using a WIRED MOUSE, right click the BootCamp MSI file, and you will now have the option to Run As Administrator, if you did the registry bit.  IF YOU DIDNT do the registry bit, you will only see Install, Repair, Uninstall etc.  If thats the case, just download the zip from my company site, it contains only a completed copy of that reg file.
    Running this file in the Apple folder as an admin is the key to making this work, let me know if you have any further issues, im watching.  Also i apologize everyone, but for some reason i cant edit the tutorial to fix my mistake, very sorry about the confusion.

  • How to install Mac OS 9 on my MacBook Pro?

    I have recently bought a MacBook Pro. It came with the Mac OS X Tiger operating system. However, I need Classis environment for one of the programs that I wish to use so I went on and bought a new Mac OS 9 install CD, which I tried to install onto my machine by booting up from the CD-Rom. When I try and follow the instructions on the CD, i.e. "Hold down the C key as your computer starts up" it does not seem to do anything. The computer boots up in the Mac OS X as if I have no Mac OS 9 install disk inserted in my drive.
    If anyone could give me any help as to how I would be able to install the Mac OS 9 on my MacBook Pro I would be more than happy.
    Note: I have got my hard drive partitioned into two partitions.
    I am looking forward to some suggestions/answers as to where my problem actually is.
    Thx.

    Hi, gmujkic. OS 9 and Classic are not supported by the Intel processor in your MacBook Pro. None of the Intel Macs, as shipped, runs Classic applications. Nowhere in any of the literature on the Intel Macs will you find any hint of Classic support. It would have been wiser to look into this before buying the MacBook Pro — you might have decided to buy a Powerbook G4 instead.
    Third-party hacks/emulators allowing you to run OS 9 apps may be in the works, but Apple will not support them. Use them, if/when they appear, at your own risk, and subject to whatever limitations they may impose on your ability to run the Classic software you like.

  • How to install Windows 7 on Late 2013 Macbook Pro?

    I purchased a brand new Macbook Pro last week, retina display and all. I've enjoyed it thus far, yet for whatever reason, I can't seem to install windows on a partition in BootCamp like I used to be able to. I'm on Mavericks of course, 10.9.3. I tried installing Windows on an 8gb flash drive, only to find it freeze right as the Windows initial setup comes up. I have no disc drive on this laptop, and I see no reason why I would have to buy an external optical drive just to install windows. I have an ISO file from my university, and all I want to do is use it. Also, VmWare Fusion is not what I'm looking to use.The Graphics card driver fails for most of my favorite steam games.  I'd like to use bootcamp how it used to be. I tried editing the assistant's .plist after finding a tutorial on google, but Bootcamp crashes every time. I'm out of options. So my question is how do I install windows 7 on this computer?
    Really hoping someone can solve my problem. All I want to do is play Sniper Elite III, and nothing will work. Thank you

    Hello Wes109,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Installing linux and unix on my macbook pro without using vmware

    I was browsing through the forum and bumped into a topic where the best advice for installing linux application is the following:
    http://macdevcenter.com/lpt/a/7073
    However, I have not tested this out therefore I am pretty reluctant to put this on my laptop which is currently running MAC OS X 10.5.8. (4gb ram). If anyone have done this please let me know.
    1) My question: Is this a reliable method to run linux applications on MAC OS natively using the x11 from Apple?
    Note: I have vmware and I personally don't prefer booting a separate OS on my computer just to use one or two apps. However if that is the only solution I already have ubuntu running on my vmware. Also I wanted to completely wipe off my vmware and the ISO images (ubuntu and win xp) to free up the space in my hard drive. If I have to use ubuntu which may be a "safer solution" than run linux applications on my hard drive then I will stick to the vmware method.
    If someone could give me some insight in this topic then I would greatly appreciated their help.
    p.s. I want to install xilinx web-pack and other useful softwares that are only available in linux, ubuntu and win xp/vista/w7. My goal is to completely transform my laptop from dual booting ubuntu and win xp to just run mac snow leopard (in the near future).
    Thanks in advance,
    Pirakalan S.

    Basically I want to run linux and unix applications without running vmware on my mac os x. I heard there is a way to use x11 and FinkCommander (http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/) application. However, I am unable to figure out how to install programs such as xilinx ise (http://www.xilinx.com/ise/logicdesignprod/foundation.htm) on my MacBook Pro using FinkCommander. In addition, xilinx ise runs on linux and windows however not mac.
    In simple words I want to solely use Leapord (not snow leapord) to run applications such xilinx ise (which is only available on windows platform or linux).
    I recently shifted from windows xp platform to mac and I rarely use vmware after making the shift. Therefore, I am trying to find a solution where I don't require vmware at all, my plan is to remove vmware from my hard drive.
    I just restated what I stated in the previous post in a simpler manner, sorry for any miscommunication on the earlier post. I am looking for a step by guide to install linux applications on my mac. I am at a process of learn linux at the moment so I am kind of slow when it comes to linux and mac. Especially when it comes to installing using command line not GUI.
    I just want to know if there is a solution out there for running linux based applications to run on my mac.

  • Installing ilife and iWork on on Macbook Pro with Mavericks

    I purchased a MacBook Pro, used, and although it has Mavericks, ilife and iWork are not installed, the seller must have deleted them (or never installed them?) When I go to the app store, they show they need to be purchased. I thought they were included? How do I reinstall?

    i read the apple statement about my macbook pro not being compatible with it.

  • Parallel use of fcpx and fcp7 in late macbook pro 2011

    I am happily running fcpx under Lion, however, have a lot of old projects on fcp7.
    I was unable to install fcp7 under lion to the late 2011 macbook pro 17, and this might anyways be a bad idea, as it eats a lot of terabytes on boot volume.
    Just want to share my workaraund, as it took quite an effort to figure out:
    1) MAKE A BOOTABLE CLONE OF LION BOOT DRIVE ON EXTERNAL FIREWIRE DISK USING SUPERDUPER OR CARBON COPY CLONER.
    2) BOOT FROM THE EXTERNAL LION BOOT DRIVE AND PARTITION THE INTERNAL DRIVE ON LION BOOT AND SNOW LEOPARD BOOT
    3) CLONE THE LION BACK TO THE LION PARTITION
    4) BOOT FROM 10.64 SNOW LEOPARD INSTALLER DISK AND INSTALL SNOW LEOPARD 10.6.4 TO THE SNOW LEOPARD PARTITION OF INTERNAL DRIVE
    5) NOW BOOT FROM THE NEW INTERNAL SNOW LEOPARD DISK, AND RUN SNOW LEOPARD 10.6.8 UPDATER
    6) INSTALL QUICKTIME 7.6.6 (THE LINK IS SOMEWHERE ON THE APPLE PAGES) IT SPECIFICLY NEEDS TO BE 7.6.6., NOTHING ELSE.
    7) INSTALL FCP7 FROM THE ORIGINAL INSTALL DISKS
    NOW YOU CAN BOOT FCPX OF LION PARTITION AND FCP7 OF THE SNOW LEOPARD PARTITION, DEPENDING WHAT YOU WANT TO WORK ON.
    NOTE THAT THE LEOPARD PARTITION ONLY NEEDS 24 GB OF USED SPACE, IF YOU DONT INSTALL MOTION AND AUDIO CONTENT PARTS OF FCP7.

    You dont need lion at all, but you might need an external boot disk for the preparation.
    Some resellers have reported cernel panic type problems if trying to install snow leopard directly on a macobook pro IF that macbook pro originally shipped with Lion. They say, there might be a chip preventing non Lion installs.
    So, I would just for safety, prepare everything on an external drive, then boot of that exptrenal drive a couple of times to be sure it works, and then clone it over to your internal boot drive.
    Anyways, if I put the Snow Leopard as startup drive in system preferencies, I would be able to work only on Snow Leopard environment. Personally, I like having both, as I like studying FCPX's possiblities in projects which permit it.
