I am using a MacBook Pro.  I simply cannot find a way to attach images adjusted in Lightroom as attachments and/or without massive degradation in quality.  I follow the LR attach email process as specified by LR, the photos appear in the email seemingly embedded and the recipients of the email cannot save the attachment.

You are welcome.  Just finished a chat session with an Apple support rep and confirmed the matte option no longer available.  Seems lots has changed since I bought my 17” 19 months back:).  They did say that there were after market screen films available from places like amazon
Have never used anything like that though.  My wife has a 2008 MBP 15” with gloss and I can say it is a nice screen finish, you just have to be careful of lighting from behind you.  All my iMacs were glossy and I did learn to compensate for the added brilliance the screen brought to the photos.  The new soft proofing feature of LR5 seems to better estimate the level of brightness of the printed work, compared to past versions of the s/ware.
In any case, in my opinion you really can’t go wrong with the apple product.  I bought my first iMac in mid 1999 and have never looked back.  I donated that machine to a pre-school in 2008, it was running OSX version 2 or 3 I think.  I did run Photoshop 7.0 on an IBM laptop for a time (windows XP).  I think I had one of the very first versions of Adobe Camera Raw on that machine.  I digress, sorry.
The chat representative did confirm that the 17” is out of production and I’m guessing Apple found the market for the big laptop just wasn’t there.  They did mention that 17” MBP’s show up as “certified refurbished” units from time to time.  Suggest you might explore that option with a local Apple store in the UK, assuming  Apple has store front operations off this continent of course.
Please feel free to contact me with further questions if you wish.
Take care, Gordy

  • I synced my iPad2 application QuickVoice to my MacBook Pro now I cannot find it on my macbook to save it to my documents. How do I do this?

    I recorded some trainings on my iPad2 by using QuickVoice then synced my iPad2 application QuickVoice to my MacBook Pro now I cannot find it on my macbook. I want to save it to my documents so as to have the ability to edit the recordings. How do I find it and move it to Documents?

    What happens when you plug in the external HD? It should just mount automatically when connected to your computer and turned on.
    If this isn't happening, launch Disk Utility to find out whether it can see, repair, and mount your drive.
    Depending on how your internal HD was malfunctioning, you may end up having to replace it. Do you remember what problems were reported when you discovered that it couldn't be repaired? Did you try to repair it from a bootable external drive?

  • Using a MacBook Pro, where do I find a "Home" key for FCP?

    Hey there everyone:     I'm struggling through volumes of FCP manuals hoping to edit HD footage on the fly with my MacBook Pro.  The problem is that the short cut keys are all labeled assuming one is working with a full keyboard, not a lap top.  Any ideas would be helpful. 

    Use the function (fn) key and left arrow for Home, function key and right arrow for End

  • I bought a new HD to install into my 2009 macbook pro.  I cannot find my install disk for Snow Leopard.  Can I install one of the newer OS's without a disk?

    Is there a way to either reinstall the OSX version that is currently on my Macbook Pro, onto the new HD or do I have to have the Snow Leopard disk and then upgrade to the newer versions all over again?

    Depending on your processor and RAM installed, you can install lion from the app store under the apple drop down menu. You have to have at least 2 GB of RAM installed and you have to have an intel core 2 duo processor to run Lion. This you can find out in "About This Mac" under the apple drop down menu. That is the only OS that's newer than yours and one that isn't installed from a disc
    hope this helps

  • Macbook pro 2011 early cannot find right resolution for external display and keeps flickering

    I have a macbook pro 2011 early running 10.9, and a LG FLATRON W2242T external screen. Also, I have a VGA to miniport from Apple and a VGA to HDMI, plus a HDMI to miniport(from Apple). By just connect with VGA to miniport to my MBP, it just flickers few times and stops detecting. But by connect VGA to HDMI converter and HDMI to miniport to my MBP, it keeps flickering, a non-stop flickering. The external screen always shows no signal. However, if I connect my MBP to my TV through HDMI to miniport, it works fine. But connecting the VGA port to my TV, it gets the same problem. I have tried clear my PRAM many times, and it gets the same result. Does anyone have the same problem? Thanks

    Macbook Pro 15" Early 2011 external display won't work as it used while Snow Leopard, I hate you Lion so far. I cannot even Go Back!
    Did you bother to backup or clone your SL installation before dumping it?

  • What are the different ways to back up your photos from iphoto using a MacBook Pro which does not have a disk drive?

    What are the different ways to back up your photos from iphoto using a MacBook Pro which does not have a disk drive?

    Note - that no internet backup service has been proven to be safe and effective for backing up the iPhoto library - unless you personally have backup uyp an iPhoto library and restored it sucussfuly form one it should not be recommended - a large number of people have lost their photos trying it

  • Hi! I'm using a Macbook Pro, and my photo booth stopped working! I just updated my software yesterday, but it still doesn't work!! The green light does go on though, any suggestions on how to make it work?

    Hi! I'm using a Macbook Pro, and my photo booth stopped working! I just updated my software yesterday, but it still doesn't work!! The green light does go on though, any suggestions on how to make it work?

    In what way is it not working? 
    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue. 

  • HT1420 I use two MacBook pro, two iPads and two iPhones. Upon connection and attempt to synchronize photos I receive a message that my authorization limit is exceeded. I read that iOS devices do not count against the authorization limit.

    I use two MacBook pro, two iPads and two iPhones. Upon connection and attempt to synchronize photos I receive a message that my authorization limit is exceeded. I read that iOS devices do not count against the authorization limit. One iPhone and one iPad show in the authorization list. iTunes wants to delete my purchased programs and books from the iPad to continue synchronization. What can I do?

    Ok, now I do wish I could edit....
    I forgot to APPLY the network settings for the USB cable to work. Connected thru USB I can tether.
    So, I kept playing, and playing some more...
    I had previously unpaired everything, and gone as far as removing network devices HOWEVER...
    I didn't remove the Ethernet, Firewire or Airport Network devices.
    Now, I have done so. I REMOVED EVERYTHING
    No pairing, no network devices.
    Bluetooth was already turned off, and I rebooted.
    I turned off tethering and rebooted the iphone.
    I turned on bluetooth (on the MBP), I turned on tethering. I browsed for the iphone. It said I was already paired???? Ok, repair AGAIN, and THE IPHONE SHOWED MY BLUETOOTH TETHERING BLUE BAR at the top of the screen!
    I opened a web page, no go... d4mn, I was close...
    Opened network preferences and the created a new bluetooth PAN and voila! Internet back on the MBP. I am about to reinstall the ethernet and airport (I can live without firewire for now) and see what happens.
    Basically, the link I posted two posts ago, I had already done that, but I NEEDED to remove ethernet, firewire and airport as well...
    So MAYBE it's fixed, we'll see for how long. I'm not going to mark this as answered for now, because basically, it has failed for no reason, and I want to know why...
    Hopefully someone can come up with something, but having to delete and reinstall all pairings and network devices (to me) is not really a solution, it's a workaround (at best).

  • After the last Yosemite update on my MacBook pro I turned the FileVault on, now my Mac is freezing all the time and encrypting the drive looks like going to last forever and I am unable to use my MacBook pro what must I do???!!!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • I'm using a macbook pro with version 10.6.8 installed. whenever i try to install my software updates, it immediately asks me to restart my computer to finish the installation. after doing so and signing back on to my account no updates have been installed

    I'm using a macbook pro with version 10.6.8 installed. Whenever I try to install my software updates, it immediately asks me to restart my computer to finish the installation. After doing so and signing back on to my account, nothing has changed and no updates have been installed. It still says the same 8 items need to be installed, and the same process occurs again. Any idea how I can fix this?

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

  • How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported.  The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I updated

    How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported.  The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I downloaded the latest update for iphoto.

    You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
    If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
    No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
    Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

  • Using a MacBook Pro in the Store

    I'm in the Apple Store in Walnut Creek, CA, using a MacBook Pro. They have a few on display and it's 2 hours before closing -- nobody's using them...weird.
    Anyhow, onto my impressions:
    This magnet thing is stronger than my powerbook adapter! I think if i tripped over the cord, the laptop would STILL go flying.
    Safari did not load right away...stayed blank. Reloaded Safari and it's really really fast.
    Word did not start right away, had to force quit. Now it works, don't see any differences in speed...
    Excel is so so
    iPhoto is really fast. It's way faster than my powerbook, but then again, my Powerbook iPhoto has over 10K photos/videos. This iPhoto has only 354 photos.
    iTunes -- can't really see any speed gains
    the biggest and coolest gain is the screen. sad to say to you guys out there, but with this screen and resolution, i don't see a need to get a 17".
    you can ALMOST put two full Safari screens side by side, but full screen pics in iPhoto are amazing.
    it's really bright, which i like.
    things i don't like are the magnetic adapter...man, can you say i really had to pull this thing? i'm not a weak guy either, i can bench press 200lbs and weigh about 155, not too shabby but definitely far from good.
    battery life is a no show...you know how like, when you unplug the adapter, you can see a remaining time? well, someone disabled it and i unplugged the magnetic adapter -- no battery life time, just the battery icon................c'mon guys....

    I'm heading to the Apple Store in Danbury CT tomorrow to test out a MacBook Pro. I'll happily post what I like and dislike here.

  • Using your MacBook Pro as a Router For the Xbox 360

    Not sure how many of you guys have 360s, but I've written up a guide to use your MBP as a connection point for the 360. Basically it involves sharing your Airport with the Ethernet port. Here goes.
    How to Use a MacBook Pro as an Xbox 360 Internet Hub v.01
    This guide is copyright 2006 Jonathan Ferguson.
    If you would like to host it, email me at the address below.
    All trademarks are copyright their respective owners.
    I am not responsible for anything that happens that may screw up your Mac, 360, Internet, or anything else.
    By reading further you accept full responsibility for any damages or troubles that occur as a result
    of your using this guide. K?
    Welcome! I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and did not feel like shelling out 130 dollars for the
    360s Wireless Adapter.
    Thus I set out to find a solution and it was my shiny new mac that came to the rescue.
    I'm positive this can be done in Windows, but I've not taken the time (yet) to test it.
    I think it's very simple to follow, but I do recommend that only those with patience and a will to learn attempt the setup.
    Also if you don't know how to reset your router, I wouldn't recommend it either. But for the rest, on we go.
    You will need these things for this adventure:
    Broadband Internet Access
    1 Xbox 360
    1 CrossOver Cat 5 (NOT Patch, so NOT the one that came with the 360)
    1 Macbook Pro (the regular Macbook may work, I haven't tested it)
    1 Router with wireless and wired connections or 2 Routers linked together, one wired, one wireless.
    Plug the cross cable into the ethernet port on the mac and the ethernet port on the Xbox 360. Turn both on.
    Go to your system blade on the 360 into the network settings and go to the Sharing area of the
    System Preferences on the MBP.
    On the MBP make sure that your Airport Extreme connection is being shared with the Built-In Ethernet
    (check the box next to Built In Ethernet and hit the start button at the top.).
    Go into Network under System Preferences on the MBP.
    Pick Built In Ethernet in the Drop Down menu. Write down the Subnet Mask and IP Address for the adapter,
    you'll need that later.
    Contact your router by punching it's IP into an internet browser. (I.E: 192.168.1.1).
    This is usually the default IP for any router, so if you don't know what it is, try that one.
    It'll also ask you for the password and username which are usually:
    Login: admin
    Pass: password
    Login:
    Pass: admin
    or
    Login: admin
    Pass:
    Once you're in find the DNS Addresses (DNS 1 and 2)
    (under LAN not WAN if they're different) and write those down. Now it's time to go back to the Xbox.
    In the settings tab you'll find a lot of stuff has been set to automatic.
    This will not help you, so start changing the things to manual.
    Once you get in there, input each piece of information like so:
    IP Address: Have a look at the address of the Ethernet Adapter.
    Copy it digit for digit only make the last number lower than the last number of the Ethernet Adapter.
    (I.E if the Adapter is 111.211.13.5, make the 360 111.211.13.4)
    Subnet: This is the Subnet Mask you got from the Ethernet Adapter.
    Gateway: This is the IP address of the Ethernet Adapter (NOT the address of your router)
    DNS: These are the DNS numbers you got from your router.
    Now, before you allow the Xbox 360 to test the connection, make sure that you have a
    wireless internet connection coming in on the mac, and that you're sharing it with the ethernet card.
    Also, though I haven't tested it yet, keep the Ethernet card on DHCP. Putting it on manual might mess things up.
    Et Voila! Let the 360 run the tests.
    There's one test that'll take extra long to do but don't fret, it eventually goes through and works splendidly.
    I'll update this as I see fit, and feel free to email me at: [email protected] to add/correct/contribute.

    Well that's nice and all, but why not just spend the 50 bucks on a router? Also, why do you need a crossover cable? Modern operating systems do not require crossovers anymore.
