    After identifying the exact connectors you need, check the Apple Store online and/or eBay...you should be able to buy a cable with the correct connector on each end, rather than fooling with an adapter.

  • Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.

    Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.
    I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
    Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?

    You do not have to call US, but you need to call. Or else.

  • DELL 2407WFP 24" with Macbook Pro - Need Help!

    I just bought a new 2407WFP and am planning on using it with my Macbook Pro. When I connect it (using VGA to DVI conversion into the Macbook Pro), I select the maximum resolution setting for the Dell monitor, however, it just mirrors with resolution of my Macbook Pros's screen. The Dell 2407WFP's screen resolution comes out having the exact same workspace as my Macbook Pro, just bigger. This is not what I want at all. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    The original reply is correct. I do this with my MBP and the 23" Cinema Display all the time. Put your computer to sleep/ close the lid. Make sure the power cable is plugged in, as well as your keyboard and mouse, and the display you want to use. If you have Bluetooth devices it will still work. Simply tap a key on the keyboard and the computer will wake up, sense that the lid is closed, and make the external display your sole & primary display. I use bluetooth devices myself and they work fine. I've even formatted my computer before while attached to the external display and it will sense the display/keyboard/mouse on first startup and work with them. It's wonderfully simple.
    If there are USB ports on your Dell monitor then there should also be a USB connector for your computer on the cable. Essentially it's a USB hub, and should work fine provided the USB cable from the screen is attached to your computer. VGA & DVI do not provide USB signals.

    Not sure what you mean by reset your MacBook. I would begin with Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C"key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu(Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but<b>Verified</b>)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports diskis repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse a utility like TechTool Pro or DiskWarrior
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.

  • Trying to install software from iomega to my new macbook pro need help

  • I have a cd stuck in my Macbook Pro. need help getting it out.

    so i was watching a movie, then i wanted to grab a bite to eat. i just pause the movie and closed my computer screen. then when i came back, the dvd did not want to play saying that "Supported Disc Not Available" and it would not eject when i hit the eject key button. NEED HELP ASAP

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • IPhone won't sync after switching to Macbook Pro. Help!

    I just recently got a Macbook Pro and copied my iTunes Library from my PC desktop. I authorized the Mac and plugged in the iPhone, but when I drag songs over, they appear greyed out with a dotted circle to the right of it. Does anyone know how to bring the songs over? I accidentially deleted all the songs off the iPhone, so now I have nothing!
    Thanks!

  • Will the MacBook Pro need a SIM card or any type of plan

    I'd like to know if there was a need to put a SIM card or some sort of insert when I get the MacBook . Do I need a plan to operate the laptop ? Aswell as programming ... Will Microsoft word and PowerPoint be included with the system or will I need to purchase the program separately ?

    You dont need a SIM card or any insert, nor any kind of plan or programming knowledge. Microsoft products will need to be purchased separately.
    If this is going to be your first Mac, you need just plain common sense. And read up a bit too:

  • Just bought a macbook pro, need help.

    Hi everyone, I just bought a macbook pro 15" intel core 2 duo, 2.16GHz and the person I bought it from did not erase anything. I myself have a macbook but I bought this for my girlfriend as a gift. I am having a problem changing the name of the user. I have already changed the username and the password but in the finder, where it usually says "user" it says Elle (previous owner). So I was just wondering how I can change this, I have read other people's posts and a lot have to resort to erasing everything and reinstalling the software, but I don't have any of the software and neither does the person I bought it from. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    I would never run a used Mac inherited or purchased from someone else without wiping and re-installing Mac OS X. You can't really know how well it was maintained or what could possibly be on the hard drive - in terms of system security configurations, legalities, as well as just things that could have been misconfigured and/or create compatibility issues, etc.
    Much cleaner and neater to just wipe and re-install.

  • Getting a Macbook Pro Need Help

    Im trying to decide on a Macbook Pro 2.4GHz or the 2.53 GHz
    If i get the 2.4GHz-
    I'll upgrade the ram to 4Gb.
    Upgrade the hard drive to 7200 rpm.
    How would a 7200 rpm drive effect battery life, and performance compared to a 5400 rpm?
    Also, How what are the best 7200 rpm drives? By that i mean most reliable, least power consumptive.
    Also if i made these changes to the 2.4 GHz, would a 2.53 GHz be noticeable in difference of performance? ( I don't play games much, but do use apps like, VM Ware Fusion, iMovie, Photoshop CS4 and also multi task alot like using iMovie, iTunes, alot of Safari webs pages open, Mail, MS Office,Photoshop CS4, Quicktime, and VM Ware at once )

    ...How would a 7200 rpm drive effect battery life...
    Very minimal. The current crop of 7200RPM drives are very efficient with their power requirements.
    ...and performance compared to a 5400 rpm?
    If you work with larger files (audio, video, whatever) there is a noticeable difference in performance.
    ...Also, How what are the best 7200 rpm drives?
    Seagate and Hitachi make quality drives...Check with what Other World Computing recommends.
    ...difference between 2.4 GHz, would a 2.53 GHz...
    I do not think this small processor change would be as noticeable as the performance gains you will achieve by using a 7200RPM drive vs. a 5400RPM drive. Others here will better answer this.
    ...[lots of programs] all at once...
    Then max out your RAM. Again, Other World Computing will steer you in the correct direction!

  • TS1398 After updating to iOS 7 my iphone 5 won't show any wifi networks or connect to any wifi even after resetting the network connections. HELP!

    After updating my iphone 5 to iOS 7 my phone won't show any wifi networks or connect to any. I reset the network connections and still nothing.

    I Just found it on the apple site, it arrived on a cd a few days later and worked just fine again.
    i would recommend backing everything up just in case. Better safe than sorry, trust me. I've lost so much when i didnt back up once when re-installing the system.
    IT shoulldnt erase everything, bt it might, so back up just in case
    should you loose everything, then i have some tips on moving stuff fromyour iphone/ipod to the computer

  • Is it necessary to install Mac OS X dvd after buying the macbook pro?

    Is it necessary? I'm afraid something will screw up

    Hi gocoming & welcome to discussions...
    What is necessary is to be sure that Software Update is allowed to run.
    Don't hesitate to use Disk Utility to repair permissions if any updates are put in place, etc.
    The DVD is there for any case where something needs to be reinstalled or if you wish to boot from another source and test the OS on the HD, as an example.
