I am looking to hook up my MacBook (white) 7.1 to my hmdi tv and wondered if this wire will work?

If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. The only adapters with Composite are the older Mini-DVI adapters. (Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.).
You’ll could try a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to
And then a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
I don't know if that would work but it's the only way I would know.

HT1473 I am online but it won't name my tracks as it says in step 2 If your computer is connected to the Internet, iTunes will automatically look up information for the CD such as song name, album and artist. This feature will work with most commercially

I Am adding CDs to put onto my iPod. It used to automatically name the tracks and now it doesn't. I am connected to the Internet and it comes up with this text. "User not registered for online use"
does anybody know what I need to do?
thanks

Believe it or not, that article helped me find a temporary solution. After reading it I realized that the problem did have to do with my DNS settings. I had taken the DNS settings that my ISP gives me when I dial up and plugged them into the configuration for my AirPort card. This apparently caused a problem because, although my wireless network is always on, it's not always connected to the internet. So those DNS settings were invalid most of the time.
I found that as long as I leave the area for DNS servers blank, the computer logs in normally. This further confirms my suspicion that something was trying to access the internet at login. I guess as long as I don't specify any DNS servers, the computer realizes it doesn't have an internet connection through my AirPort card.
So I just created two network locations: one for when my network is connected to the internet and one for when it isn't. In the first, I kept my original DNS settings because they work as long as I have an internet connection. In the second I did not specify any DNS servers. This seems to work fine, but I'd still like to know what is trying to access the internet at login. I've disabled the automatic update feature in all my programs that have it, but that doesn't seem to help the slowdown at login. Does anyone know how I could figure out what program is trying to access the internet?

Hi Auracles1,
Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/HP-Officejet-6500-E 709n-wireless-issue/m-p/258853
I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error.

I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error. "Failed to Continue Activity" Cocoa Error 4609. Handoff is working for phone calls and text messages. By email just crashes each time. It was also doing it under 8.0.2. My iPhone and iPad handle this fine. It's only the MacBook to the iPhone that fails, and only on email.

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this. Can anyone help? of course this happened after my warranty expired.

**update**
I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose. In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!). Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind. I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store. But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working.
So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off. Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
Hopefully this might help someone.

Is there a compact flash and SDXC card reader with USB3 and or thunderbolt connections that will work with new MacBook Pro retina laptops running OSX Mavericks please?

Yes, I too had this problem.
I was issued an update from Apple for a new version software as well as a new version of Lightrooom and now it shows up on the desktop and in finder as it should.
MacBook Pro Retina running 10.8.2 (12C54)
Lightroom running 4.1
Hope that helps.

Have a MacBook Pro with OS X. Loaded windows 8 in bootcamp and lost trackpad. Keyboard will work if hit esc key at opening windows screen. Any ideas? Microsoft has none.

I loaded Windows 8 update on my MacBook Pro on the bootcamp partition and now my trackpad doesn't work on the windows side. The keyboard works if I first hit the esc button at the opening screen. Microsoft was no help. I don't know how to delete the driver for the trackpad in OS X and reinstall to see if it corrects the problem. Any Ideas?

have found a temp solution now, before apple releases its update. this will make ur trackpad work but without any gestures and u'll have to press to select the left or right click.
here's the solution.
1. go to device manager
2 locate ur trackpad and right click and choose to update the driver.
3. select browse my computer for driver software.
4 select "let me pick from the list of device drivers on my compuet".
5 just keep pressing the "NEXT" button after that.
thats its u'll have a working trackpad for now.

I am looking into Lightroom (Creative Cloud) to allow a Team Member access my Catalog to keyword search which images will work for our Social Media platforms.

I am looking at LR Creative Cloud to allow a Team Member access my catalog so she can keyword search which images will work for our social media campaigns. My catalog has both personal and business images (which are in separate folders), however, I only want them to access the business images. What is the best way to do this?
and a second question as I am new to the Cloud LR product. I am assuming that my images still stay on my external drive...how am I or her able to view these images if I am out of town on another computer?

My catalog has both personal and business images (which are in separate folders), however, I only want them to access the business images. What is the best way to do this?
I think the only way in Lightroom to make this happen is to use two catalogs, one for business and one for personal, and then prevent access to the personal catalog via putting it on a disk or location that your team member does not have access to.
I am assuming that my images still stay on my external drive...how am I or her able to view these images if I am out of town on another computer?
Situations like this require you to put the catalog file AND photos on the external HD and then move the external drive to whatever location and whatever computer is needed. An alternative is to put the photos on a network drive and the catalog file on a local disk and access the catalog locally and the photos via network, but that limits you to using a single computer.
I am looking at LR Creative Cloud to allow a Team Member access my catalog so she can keyword search which images will work for our social media campaigns.
As far as I know, this does not require Creative Cloud, nor does Creative Cloud help in this situation. Furthermore, if you are thinking about a situation where you and your team member have simultaneous access to the catalog(s) of interest, this is not possible in Lightroom. Lightroom is a single user application.
If you are interested in a true multi-use application, where more than one individual can access a catalog at the same time, you might want to look at Daminion. Note: I am not endorsing or recommending Daminion, as I have never used it; I simply point out the that it has the feature being discussed.

Macbook Aluminium. Single, long beep upon startup and update to Snow Leopard wont work.

Hi, I recently formatted my late-2008 Macbook and installed Ubuntu. It didn't work so I formatted again and installed Leopard. When I boot I get a single long beep. When I try to update to Snow Leopard and reboot the OS still shows up as 10.5 (Leopard).
It seems to function normally besides all this. I have not touched the memory in this time and the OS recognises the full 4GB I have inside. I also did not touch the hardware, this whole problem seems to have been caused by my attempt to install Ubuntu.
Any help out there?
Thanks guys.

I have exactly the same problem for some days because I installed Ubuntu 11.04. Thanks God I found a way to fix it:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15375400#15375400
Go to the video on youtube and see how you got your EFI firmware flashed Reboot and the long beep should go away

Upgrading from macbook white to imac...which one?

Im looking to upgrade from my macbook white (nearly 2 and a half years old now) to a new imac.
Spec: 2.1 ghz intel core duo, 4gb ram, 120 gb hard drive, 500gb external seagate HD, 160gb external seagate HD
I am running logic 8 and use AU's such as all the native instruments ones, Rob Papen synths and Spectrasonics instruments a lot (normally running at least 10 instances of each in a project). Everything i do is software based and i am not currently running an external audio interface but i will probably get one to connect my mackies and my decks.
My macbook is now struggling to keep up with it all and regularly cuts out while playing which gets very frustrating, therefore i feel it is time to upgrade.
I dont have much money and am looking at buying the basic imac available on the apple site. Would the step up from 2.1ghz dual core to 3.06 ghz i3 processor be significant and very noticable i.e. would it stop logic cutting out while playing? or is it actually worth going for a quad core even though the i3 processor can run 4 threads at once?
Also, is it worth going all out on 8gb of ram or would it not be worth it if i wasnt running a much more powerful processor?
Any issues with the hard drive, graphics cards etc?
Obviously a new imac will have a significantly improved performance to a 2 and half year old basic macbook white but i just need to know if it is worth spending a lot more money on a more top spec imac since i cannot afford to be upgrading very often.

Even the lowest end base model iMac would be a pretty significant jump from what you have now. The amount of RAM would be the same, but the RAM in your laptop is almost certainly DDR2, while the new system would be DDR3-1333, and the Core i3 has an integrated memory controller which further reduces memory latency. Add to that hyperthreading, and I believe even Turbo Boost, it will make for a very nice step up.
What I would suggest doing, is trying things out with 4GB of RAM and see how it goes for say a month. If after some sufficient period of time, like a month or at least a couple weeks, you need more RAM, it's a lot cheaper to add it aftermarket. Any DDR3-1333 (Non-ECC) SO-DIMM should work. All you need is a Philips #2 screwdriver to remove a couple (captive) screws on the panel on the bottom edge of the system. There are 4 memory banks there you can fill. I want to think the current iMacs can take up to 32GB of RAM in a 4x8GB config.
You might want to consider scraping together just a little extra money for the i5 model however. Long term, it's going to provide better performance. Four physical cores will trump two hyperthreaded cores pretty much any day of the week. There's nothing wrong with the i3, it'll be a big improvement over what you have. However, given what you say you do with your system, the i5 is going to be a significantly better choice if you can find the money.

Logic user upgrading from macbook white to imac

Hi, Its weird looking at your post as I made exactly the same step with exactly the same gear only a few months ago. I went for the 3.06 GHz and 8GB Ram, however I've subsequently realised that upgrading to 8 may have been an error, it obviously costs a lot and I don't think that my speed seems to have improved that much, saying that I never had that much trouble in the past.
It comes with 4GB as standard anyway so you might be better sticking with that first, see how you get on and then upgrade later. You can buy RAM from cheaper places than apple anyway!

Macbook (white) - black display, but works fine on external display.

Hi everyone!
Today, when I woke up, my Macbook wouldn't wake up from sleep-mode. Or, it did, but the display didn't.
I tried all the tricks on here: http://www.neilturner.me.uk/2009/01/18/fixing_your_macbook_scree.html but nothing seemed to work.
The strange thing is that the Macbook works perfectly on my external display. Sometimes, when I turn down the brightness all the way down and up again, the display will work fine for 2-3 seconds, then turn black again.
If I use a flashlight I can see the desktop on my display, but it's really, really dark.
I bought this machine in late 2008 and everything has been working perfectly until this day. What should I do? I even upgraded to Lion, to see if that could help, but it didn't.
I just can't afford a new machine right now, so any help would be hot!
Thank you guys so much!
Zorlee

Ah. I'm not able to run the hardware test because it only works on the main screen. There's no obvious way to switch to an external monitor when AHT is running, which is ridiculous if the hardware fault concerns the screen! The problem isn't with the backlight - there is no dimmed image on the screen, it is just off.
I'll just have to use it with an external monitor, I guess - which defeats the purpose of buying an iMac!
Thanks for your help, though.

Iphoto 9 (mac) & iphoto 6 (macbook) issues sharing what version will work?

Both are Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 8.1.2 iphoto 9 on the mac and then 6.0.6 iphoto 6 on the macbook.
I cant share from mac to macbook but can share from macbook to mac. The mac in iphoto has a sharing folder on left hand side. On macbook I can only access sharing from HD and then it still does not work and does not accept the password ( even though username & password are correct)....any ideas on what version of iphoto I need to use for the macbook...do I need to purchase some newer software...I assume that it would update automatically...any input would be much appreciated have been searching apple website but not gained any extra info hence using this for the first time...may thanks!!

You need to have the same version on both machines - therefore purchase an iLife 09 disk if you can get one and update the v6.

Planning to upgrade to 8GB of RAM. Which is my best option for my Mid-2010 MacBook white (model 7,1)?

Macbook white (MID 2010)
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo,
2 GB 1067 MHz DDR 3 (Wanted to upgrade to 8GB)
Just upgraded to iOS 10.7.5 from snow leopard.
Reason for upgrade: Since the OS was upgraded, all process seems to be slower than before.

According to mactracker.ca database (among other) your mid-2010 MacBook white
can use a bit more RAM and likely worth at least 8GB, or more, upgrade for OS X.
And the computer also could be upgraded to Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, if desired.
Maximum Memory 16 GB (Actual) 4 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots 2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
•MacBook: How to remove or install memory
For a correct match for parts, you can see information on the Model Identifier and
build year series from crucial.com or macsales.com sites; these offer quality RAM
and upgrades, if you match the parts with your model exactly & correctly.
OWC (macsales) also has fair SSD options, with good technologies, if needed.
Matching sets of RAM tend to do best, and be wary of similar numbered parts that
are not correct; some cheap low-spec PCs use those and don't know any better.
PS: concerning issues with slowness, there is a performance guide among other
Tech Guides here: http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/ also, the basic issue
with a too full hard disk drive, and other saved content that may be best saved to
an externally enclosed hard disk drive, as an accessible archive, is recommended.
An all new installation can be helpful, too. If you have unused old applications or any
anti-virus, remove them. Check the adware removal guide, and other info there.
Good luck & happy computing!
