    If you are entitled to download Mountain Lion, because you have paid for it or it was on your computer when you bought it from Apple, you can place it on a flash drive.

    And the cost, from the App store when you purchase for the first time, is US$20.00 (twenty).

    To restore your computer to factory settings:
    1. Hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
    2. Select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
    After reinstalling OS X, you will have to reinstall your iLife applications. If your Mac came with DVDs, just insert the Applications disc and install them. If your Mac didn't come with DVDs, open App Store > Purchases, and download the iLife applications

  • HT1338 How to connect my MacBook Pro to my 23" Cinema HD Display?

    My MacBook Pro has a Thunderbolt port and I have just bought a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adaptor to connect to my 23" Cinema HD Display which works fine on my old MacBook Pro.
    However, although my new MBP can detect the display, the monitor does not switch on and there is no sign of life.
    Any thoughts, please?

    Here you go - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019 - Use Video Mirroring.. if it fails
    - Shutdown disconnect the power for the cinema display, leave the mag safe on the MBP reset the smc - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Also i have questions about the following that you mentioned  - However, although my new MBP can detect the display, the monitor does not switch on and there is no sign of life.  <--- is your 23 Cinema HD display plugged into power / Magsafe ??
    Which Cinema display do you have this one - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Apple_LED_Cinema_Display.pdf

  • HT1338 how to make my MacBook pro faster

    I was wondering if there is any software to clean and make my MacBook Pro faster and lighter???
    I heard about the MacKeeper but I get some negative feedback about it....

    MacKeeper is garbage.
    The best way to speed up your Mac is not to install garbage software, such as MacKeeper, or to uninstall it if you've already done so.
    Beyond that, you can increase performance by replacing the internal hard drive with an SSD and/or adding memory.

  • HT1338 HOW TO REST MY MACBOOK PRO 13" TO FACTORY SITING?

    how to set my macbook to factory siting

    The method you have been given will leave your data still exposed to recovery software. See this article
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20011109-263.html
    But don't use 7 pass erase, which will be overkill and take forever. One pass zero is quite adequate.

    i formated my macbook pro with windows 7 and i lost all the drivers, does anyone know how to recover the drivers?

    How did you get them to install the first time and where did you get them?
    Read the Installation Guide, Boot Camp 4.0 FAQ and the Windows 7 FAQ.
    Here's the Boot Camp Manual.

  • HOW TO RESET MY MACBOOK PRO MD976 AS I WANT TO DELETE ALL DATA FROM MACBOOK

    how do i reset macbook pro MD976 to factory setting ? , cause i want to sell it .

    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
           A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
           B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
              1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
              2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
              3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
                  side.
              4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
                  sure to opt for that.
                   Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
                   startup drive.
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
              1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
              2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
              3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
              4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
              5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See What to do with iCloud before selling your computer.
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
         A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
              1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
              2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
              3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
                  Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              4. Install OS X.
              5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
              6. Shutdown the computer.
         B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
             Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                       it is three times faster than wireless.
              1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
                  Utilities window appears.
              2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
              3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
                  on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
              4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
                  and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
              6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
              7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
              8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

    how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?  My home computer is a Window 8 OS.  Thx.

    The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
    Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
    Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
    Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.
