HT5219 how do i get my macbook pro 13" retina to keep its display settings the same when I unplug it from my thunderbolt 27" display?

I have just bought a macbook pro 13" with retina display and a 27" thunderbolt display to go with it.
I plug in the display, set it all up to the look and format that I want to use (same for both displays, I am using the mirroring feature), and then when I unplug the macbook from the 27" display it's settings revert and I can't see half my windows as they fall off the edge of the smaller macbook screen.
Is there a way to make the macbook keep the same display settings, even when I unplug it from the 27" display?

Not that I know of... but if someone comes along with a method, I would certainly be interested...

Do the events from your iPhone calendar appear on icloud.com? If not, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) and make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default. If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event on your iPhone calendar and see if appears on icloud.com and your Mac now.

How do I get my Macbook Pro to stream? It is about 1 year too old.

Depending upon the available ports on your MBP you will need an adapter and an HDMI cable to connect to your TV (unless it is an older model).
These are example of an adapter and an HDMI cable:

One can find a single cable that combines the two.
Since you have not indicated what MBP you have and the TV connections that are available, these may or may not be applicable in your situation.

How do I get my macbook pro to mirror on apple tv

how do i get my macbook pro to mirror on my apple tv?

So you're only seeing video via airplay?
How are you trying to access mirroring on the 4S? You need to double tap home button, swipe (left to right) to bring up airplay, tap on it and select Apple TV, only then will you see the mirroring option

How do I get my Macbook Pro to fill in my name, address, city, state and zip automatically when I start to fill out and online form? It use to do it, all I did was put in the first few letters of my name and hit the tab button. Now it no longer does that for me.

The free MPEG Streamclip and the free component from http://perian.org can convert your AVI to a format understood by iMovie.

How do I get my MacBook Pro to recognize my Toshiba external hard drive?

How do I get my MacBook Pro to recognize my Toshiba external hard drive? I'm working on transferring my music from our home computer to my new laptop and I already got all my music onto the hard drive but now, when I plug it into my MacBook Pro, it doesn't recognize it. There isn't an icon that pops up and nothing happens at all. The blue light on the hard drive that indicates that it knows it is plugged into something comes up but that's about it. Someone told me I might have to "format" it but I don't know what that means and I don't know how to do it. I just want to get my music from the hard drive to my laptop so please help!

I don't know about your first question... I went to finder, preferences, then general but I didn't see anything for the hard drive.
Huh, in the Finder menu, Preferences, you will see this:
Nope, disk utility cannot see it. I've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in but it still won't recognize it.puter that's a Mac...
If DU cannot see it then the preferences is just an academic exercise.
If this is a USB drive then as mentioned above you may need a powered USB hub since there may not be enough power from the USB to run the drive. What else do you have plugged into the USB ports? If there's some stuff you can unplug it then do it and see if your drive mounts.
What do you mean from a Windows machine? It's a Toshiba hard drive and I put my music on it from my home computer that's a Mac...
Which is all I wanted to know, i.e., whether the drive came from a Winows machine. So it's been formatted and created on a mac. Therefore it should mount on this other mac machine. So it most likely is a power problem.

You don't. The HDMI socket on your MacBook Pro is an output, not an input.
What content source are you wanting to view? Your MacBook Pro may be able to view it directly.

you could try this:
http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
there's something called "Airdroid" on the Play store (whatever that is)
or if your files are on an sd card, you may wish to use an sd card reader. Just plugging it in via USB might possibly work. There's also something called DoubleTwist (basically iTunes for Android, which will allow you to
sync your music , photos, videos, etc
hope one of these works for you

How can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

how can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

If the machine is asleep, lid closed, and you plug in to an external monitor and an external USB keyboard, the machine will wake, anbd reconfigure the screen resolution for the external monitor, Once it has made this configuration change, you can open the lid and it will continue to address only the external monitor. At least that's how my early MacBook Pro unibody 13" works. It seems to run a bit cooler this way. It gets quite toasty with the lid closed while doing anything demanding and you are more likely to hear the fan come on. I have not seen any temps that would cause alarm, but I do get a high speed (6000 rpm), noisy fan sometimes with the lid closed, .
If you operate in the open-lid, external monitor only mode, if you deactivate the monitor for any reason, when it reactivates it will be running both screens, with all the navigation hassles this entails, so I generally set it not to deactivate the screen when in this mode.
Thus I agree with those who say that some of the cooling air is drawn in around the keyboard, the difference in cooling performance is observable. If you activate istat pro, get the computer hot running in clamshell mode, and open the lid, you can watch the CPU temp drop by a few degrees C within a couple minutes. It isn't a huge difference, but enough the lower the fan speeds.

How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?

How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?
I want to install the latest OS, but I already know that I will lose a lot of my software unless I can partition the hard drive and have two "bootable" drives.
How do I retain everything I have, partition the drive, then reloa the software I own according to which OS it will work under?

I do not currently own OS X ML.
I am currently running OS X (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) on my MacBook Pro. It has a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but many of my software titles will not operate with ML and I cannot afford to replace some of them (Adobe Creative Suite, for e.g.)
After I back-up my HD and then partition the HD, how do I use the back-up to reinstall what I want to the SL partition, and then place the rest on the ML partition.
I have not done what you want to do, so can only offer some general thoughts in support. Take value from the following where you can. No guarantees.
If it was me, I would use a disk clone utility (e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner) to image the existing Snow Leopard disk to an external drive. Then verify that the external drive would boot and run Snow Leopard normally.
I would then purchase and download the Mountain Lion upgrade installer, but not run it. Use Lion Diskmaker to make a bootable USB stick, and perform a clean install of Mountain Lion, replacing the Snow Leopard on your MBP. This way, you make absolutely certain that no third-party drivers or other SL cruft remains to make Mountain Lion unstable. Update to latest ML point release. Fix permissions. Let TimeMachine make a full backup of your ML installation to a different external drive. Then turn of Time Machine.
In Disk Utility, use the + sign at the bottom of the ML partition to add another GUID, HFS+ Journaled partition for Snow Leopard. Resize to taste. Name it differently from your ML partition. Exhale.
Now ideally, you would like to reverse the external clone and put it back into the new SL partition. Then fix permissions. And demonstrate that you can boot into individually stable OS X installations. This would save you alot of work. Resist copying your home directory into ML just yet.
If you cannot successfully achieve the preceding paragraph, you will be faced with a full SL and application reinstall.
The ~/Library contents for SL and ML are sufficiently different that you do not want to mix them. You may want to salvage Safari bookmarks.plist. And, ML created folders in the home directory may have different permissions or ACL settings than in SL. So, my rule of thumb would be to copy folders that you created in SL, and only the contents of matching named OS created folders such as Music, Pictures, Downloads, etc.
For each operating system, you probably want the Time Machine settings to exclude the opposite OS X partition. If you use the same host name in Sharing prefs, then you will mix SL and ML backups on the same Time Machine back up drive. If you use different host names, they will be distinct folders in the Time Machine backups.backupdb and allow discrete restores per host. You may also want to gag Spotlight from indexing the opposite OS X partition.

The screen resolution in 1920x1200 dropped on my MacBook Pro 17". Seems like I have not the same pixels. There are also vertical, thin lines on the screen. Makes the screen look milky. Anybody knows what's going on and how to fix it?

Take it to an Apple Store or other service provider for testing.

Well i am going to get a macbook pro non-retina should i get 4gb or 8gb i asked because i have lots of files and i play and record games what gb should i do?

i have to get a new computer i want to get a macbook pro non retina but i use my computer alot with school i have lots of files and picture but what should i get 4gb or 8gb

You need storage space for your files. You need RAM in order to run programs. They are not the same.
1. Get 8 GBs of RAM.
2. Get a large hard drive or SSD to store your files. The bigger, the better.

I can't make FaceTime (Version 1.1.1 (309)) calls out from my Macbook Pro (Version 10.7.5). Anybody experiencing the same problems or any solutions??

I've been trying to make calls to other FaceTime users (on iPhones and Macs) via my Macbook Pro.
On my side FaceTime continues ringing. However, on the other side, when the person has picked up the call, FaceTime would show 'connecting' for around a minute or so and then 'connection lost'. Meanwhile, FaceTime would still continue ringing and would only show 'unable to facetime' after 2 minutes or more.
My FaceTime version is Version 1.1.1 (309).
Macbook Pro 10.7.5
Wondering if anyone has the same issues.
Or does anyone have the solutions??

Yes. I'm having the same problem with the same FaceTime version and Macbook Pro OS10.7.5 as well as the iPod Touch 4th generation.
Another thing is that since updating the OS, Skype on Facebook does not receive the image without freezing or having blinking horizontal lines running through it.
