HT201178 Is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard with a MacBook Pro? Sounds odd, I know, but I much prefer typing on a wireless keyboard.

With a MacBook Pro..is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard instead of the keyboard built into the MacBook Pro? I much prefer typing on the wireless keyboard. Thanks

Hello:
If the Macbook Pro has Bluetooth built-in, the answer is yes.

No.
Power Adapter/ cord wattage

No, the watch can only link to an iPhone. However, it can do several things even when out of range of the iPhone — http://help.apple.com/watch/#/apd0443fb403

Is it possible to use a USB hub on a new MacBook Pro with Maverickss?

I have used a powered Q-Store USB2 hub on first my old trust MacBook with the 13 inch screen running System X.6.8 for years; then I switched it over to my new 13 In. MacBook Pro (non retina) with Mavericks X.9.2 and it still works great. It is powered and seems to run a full load including USB hard drives, camera when wanted, cooling pad with fan, printer/scanner/copier combo, charging a MP3 player or Galaxy S4, apple mouse and keyboard, all with no trouble and no drop outs. I let an old Firewire 400 or 800 hard disk stay with my old Macintosh for now as it mirrors it, but sometimes hook it up with no problem except it gets hot.
I have a new USB3 WD Passport 3 hard drive and a 32 gb USB 3 memory stick. I wanted to put these on a USB3 hub and use one of the ports for the faster items. I can run either my WD My Passport 3 Gb drive that I use to mirror my internal drive as long as it is alone. I can also plug a 32 gb A Data memory stick in fine alone except things get a bit snug, and there's no more room on the USB 2 hub for the memory stick. If I do not use a hub for the one port I have to either use the Hard Drive or the memory stick, not both. I was using the memory stick to port files back and forth between my old and new computers at least for a while. The USB 3 peripherals work reliably when plugged in alone, but the moment a hub gets in the picture even if only one item is plugged into it, things drop in and out. It does not matter if it is the powered USB 3 hub or the non-powered Anker USB 3 4 port hub. The USB 2 items simply work but the USB 3 ones only work alone. I have looked at the power specifications. It seems like one hard drive uses all of the power the hub can put out.
It looks like the USB 3 is rather limited on Macintosh computers is all I can conclude. There may be extra speed, but what good is it if you can only run one peripheral at a time? It seems like even a hub stresses it unless it is a hub and a memory stick or two. I even changed to system settings to keep my hard drives from going to sleep, but still it drops out randomly if hooked to a hub and runs perfectly when plugged in directly. I had hoped to use it for an emergency start up disk if needed, though I must say the rather incredible StoreEdge Micro SDX card works great for that purpose and seems to belong.
That old USB 2 hub, even with a smaller one plugged in with 2 portable hard drives still works flawlessly on the other port and never drops out.
I have not tested the Firewire 800 port long enough to decide, except it gets hot if it reads very long.. The old Firewire 800 / USB 2 hard disk has more than one port on it unlike so many today. I had to use a Firewire 800 to 400 cable for my old computer. Anyway it works in either computer and stays mounted even when asleep.
Is it possible to use a USB 3 hub with more than one peripheral on a 2012-2013 13 inch MacBook Pro computer with Mavericks? If so which one works? It cannot be good for hard disks to randomly disconnect and reconnect without being dragged to the trash.

no you can't - you have to upgrade it to 16GB yourself.
you can get your RAM from newegg.com, macsales.com.
the RAM you need is 16GB (8GBX2) DDR3 1600MHz DDR3.
upgrading the RAM yourself will not void your warranty.
you need a #00 Phillips Screwdriver - 10 screws at the bottom - 7 long ones and 3 short ones - just remember where they go when you put the screws back in.
a simple 10 minute job.

Using a remote desktop connection with the Macbook pro.

I use the remote desktop connection on the Macbook pro and am unable to exchange info between the mac and the remote connetion windows. For example, if I am writing an email from the remote connection and want to attach a document, photo etc. that I created on the Mac, it just doesn't work. It seems like the Mac and the desktop connection are completely seperated eventhough they are both on the screen in front of me. the systems I use for work are not Apple compatible and will not work on anything other than windows explorer and in my case the remote desk top connection. Any ideas!

Try running in 'ClamShell' mode (MacBook Pro lid closed and using an external keyboard and mouse) with the Gateway connected and then run System Preferences/Displays, it should show then ...

How do I use a philips PicoPix projector with my MacBook Pro

depends what ports your projector supports. You do not give the exact model.
The standard way is to use MiniDisplay (AKA Thunderbolt) port on your MacBookPro and use an adapter to
ideally HDMI or DVI worst solution VGA.
All depends what the projector has at the back.

Is it possible to use my snow leopard software for my macbook pro on an iMac or more iMacs?

Here is the reason why i'm asking this question that sounds silly to me in a way...... i got the 2011 15.4inches macbook pro 2 weeks ago ..... it came with the last snow leopard os x but since the lion was out and i was eligible for an upgrade i got it striaght away for free in the apple store and did not use the snow leopard.... now here is the situation.... i was talking to a friend last night and he told me to give him the CD for the OS x snow leopard that he wanted to upgrade his imac to that....but i told him that i did not think that would work because in most cases i know even in windows os these kind of CDs are protected and are made for that pc it is installed on but he kept on insisting it would work and telling me how experienced he is in using a mac for 7 years and what ever cd protection happened to only pc and not mac(the funny thing is that he said he has experience but has never tried it before) so to cut the long story short i told him that i would get back to him....... so here i am again today asking a question that might even prove my thoughts right.....
valuable community.....PLEASE IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE MY MACBOOK PRO OPERATING SYSTEM CD ON A FRIENDS IMAC? because i dont believe it is possible because if it was, no one will ever upgrade to any os in a mac... they will just look for oppotunities to get it from a friend or family who has one.... hope im not the only one thinking that this question is a silly one lol....... please i really need your answers to show this experienced mac user of 7 years since he told me that i can install my os on more macs.... how possible it that...i dont know...
Thanks in Advance for your replies

Hi Chris,
I'm guessing it's the "old" gray disc, which is usually hardware specific to your exact model. I'd keep it if I were you, you may want to install it.

Apple TV Sync with 2x MacBook Pro's?

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me if you can Sync Apple TV to 2 Mac Book Pros.
Both myself & partner want to use it, however we want to use our own content.
Thanks

Only one of you can sync your content to the tv, but the other can stream their content. Streaming requires that the computer is on and running iTunes in order for you to watch the content on the tv

How can I use a USB keyboard with my Macbook Pro?

My MBP will not recognize my brand new USB keyboard.
I have tried the keyboard on two other Macbook Air's and it works perfectly.
My MBP:
OS X Yosemite
10.10.1
Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
2.4 GHz Core i5
8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Mac HD
Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB
Thoughts on how I can resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

Brenden,
Thanks for the reply.
I've gone your suggestions in detail and the keyboard is still not working.
From what I can tell this is a known issue with Yosemite.

Someone at Apple must be able to figure this one out.

Using Time Machine Backup Drive with NEW Macbook Pro

I just got a new Macbook Pro. I migrated from my old MacBook Pro. Now I want to use my Time Machine Disk with this new machine.
When I connect the external drive, and select back up now, it says there is not enough space (due to the fact this is a new machine and it wants to backup the entire thing)
Also, when I go into the TimeMachine, it doesn't show me anything past today. . . all of my backups are not displayed over the past year. . .
How do I make it so that the external drive displays all my old backups. . . ??
Thank you for your help.

Turn off TM or set the backup drive to null. Rename your computer in Sharing preferences to the same computer name of your old computer. Turn TM back on and reselect the backup drive. TM will behave as you expect. Of course if the file dates on the new machine are all changed since the migration, then TM will correctly assume that they require backing up. You will then find that there will not be sufficient space on the drive for the new backups. If this occurs then you should simply erase the backup drive and start your TM backup anew.

Can I use a touch screen monitor with my macbook pro?

I am doing a lot of photo organization and thought it would be easier if I had a touch screen monitor attached to my macbook pro. Has anyone tried this and if so, what brand did you use.
Thanks
Bob

All a touchscreen is going to do is replace your mouse or trackpad, you can't use two hands at once to gain any speed advantage organizing photo's.
Also it would have to be a pretty big touch screen, place your two hands over a 17" screen and most of the screen is blocked.
If you need something like that, talk to Microsoft, they have a "Big @ss table" that does that.
Gives me a backache just looking at those people
