HT2801 i cannot get my macbook to see my new usb superdrive?
I cannot get my macbook to see my new apple
usb superdriveThe newest version Apple USB SuperDrive is restricted in usefulness
to those computer models that did not ship with internal optical drives.
Is your situation similar to one cited here(?)
•USB SuperDrive not working as a secondary optical drive...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20797883#20797883
While it has been said the firmware is such to disallow use of these
Apple USB superdrives w/ Mac computers an internal optical drive.
The iFixit.com site had a suggestion about that, so it may not be
totally true. However any changes to the USB SuperDrive may void
a warranty if you mess it up, or tamper with its design...
•Apple USB SuperDrive Repair - iFixit.com:
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Apple_USB_SuperDrive
...note second answer in first question, affirmative
and the situation is conditional. It may not work
this idea uses Terminal to change how its seen...
A better answer is to get another brand that works as a superdrive
for Macs and can also read/write media, boot system discs, and
more than a few are good too, if you travel and need to change
the region code to watch DVDs. Less costly, more disposable.
Third party models work as external optical drive when OEM failed.
LG, LaCie, & other USB external superdrives had been said to work.
PS: you could also consider the iFixit page on repairing the original
internal optical drive of your MacBook, or OWC may have video as
well as replacement parts, and so on.
So there are a few possible answers.
Perhaps more than one may work.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can I update the ram in a 4gb MacBook Air to 8gb of ram?
Hi I'm looking at buying a MacBook Air and I want to know if I could update a 4gb ram to 8 gb of ram MacBook Air
You can select 8GB of RAM in the MacBook Air if you configure the MBA with the additional memory at the time you order your MBA from Apple. You cannot upgrade the memory after purchase.

How do you get a macbook to see a Motorola RAZR HD?
My new Macbook will not communicate with my Motorola RAZR HD. I have tried downloading drivers, Android File Transer, adding an SD card to the phone, and a handful of other things. When I plug in the phone it is clear the computer knows something is plugged in as it starts a Motorola software update but the computer does not "see" the phone, as in I cannot access it at all.
I am trying to get music onto the phone. If there is not a way to force my computer to see the phone, is there another way to easily transfer music and podcasts to the phone? As it is, taking out the SD card is a bit of a pain.
Thanks!double tap the screen and it will go to full screen. You might loose a little bit on the edges though because of the widescreeen format

I cant get my macbook pro to have a full screen in safari please help?
I have tried getting my full screen back and its not working please help?????
First off, iOS 7 does not run on Macs.
Secondly, Mac Pros are desktops, and MacBook Pros are notebooks. Something is not jibing with your signature and what you say you are running. Please go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to tell us your Mac OS X version.
Go to Safari menu -> About Safari, or Help menu-> About Safari to tell us your Safari version.
That will tell us if fullscreen is an option. -
to connect to the home hub 5 it connects eventually but is extremely tempermental... does anyone have a fix that doesnt involve messing around with the home hub settings...
for further notes, my dads macbook (same model but running 10.7) connects and works fine, as does the 2 windows desktop computers and laptops we have, my xbox and play station 3 consoles, my iphone 5c, ipad mini, my mums iphone 5, and my dads and sisters samsung galaxy note phones.... even as i type this i can kind of see the problem being with my macbook rather than anything else.... but if someone could give a solution that would be great =]Howdy there SwipeatronSparks,
If your MacBook Pro still has issues when connecting to your hub, I would recommend the troubleshooting for the symptoms you are seeing in the following article, named:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Cant get 2008 MacBook to boot from disk!
I have a refurbished 2008 MacBook Pro that runs on Snow Leopard. It fell off my sofa which started a chain reaction of the video card not working (anything colored black or darkly shadowed shows as lime green pixels) to it refusing to even start up. I have a Snow Leopard install disk which did eventually get it to reboot by pressing Command, Option and V at the same time.
It failed to instal and told me to clean the disk. So I ejected the disk, cleaned it, put it back in and tried to reinstall. It went back to the white screen and even if I press Command, Option, and V, it doesnt make it past the white screen.
I should also mention that once it rebooted, it no longer recognized the built in keyboard for some reason and I couldn't get it to work. I had to plug in my husband's G15 gaming keyboard and got it to recognize that. I don't know if that's part of my problem or not though. The install disk will also not eject now that I can't get it to reboot.
Is there anyway I can get to to reboot again or am I SOL and have to bring it to the store? I think my last OS was 10.6 something. I honestly can't remember.Unfortunately I think you are SOL. And yes, it may cost more than it is worth to fix. You may just want to ensure the data is safely backed up to another drive, and find another refurbished Mac of the same age to replace it with. Next time be more careful.

I am trying to use the adj brush but when i zoom in i cant get the brush only see the hand
each time i try to use the adj brush i zoom in and then hit either k or the adj brush but i dont see the brush just the zoom hand...can you help me or tell me what i am doing wrong...
You haven't exactly provided a lot of information on what you're doing, so it's tad difficult to say what you're doing wrong.
The brush will show as the Zoom tool until the preview is fully rendered.
To zoom in Lightroom develop module you can press down on the Spacebar and the Brush tool should switch to the Zoom tool, click on the image to zoom then release the spacebar. The cursor should switch back to the brush. If you continue to hold down the Spacebar the cursor changes to the Hand tool. The key is to NOT hold down the spacebar for any longer than necessary.
You can also use the Z key to zoom in/out. Some find it works MUCH better as it eliminates the need to switch the cursor icon. -
Please Help: Cant' get Windows computer to see network printer
Hi,
I have my printer shared on our network directly into the airport. All of the Macs can use it no problem, but when we try to get a Windows computer to access it, we're having no luck.
I followed these direction I found on Macworld:
AirPort printer sharing isn’t restricted to Macs: Windows PCs can also use an Air-Port print server. To set this up, you’ll need the AirPort’s IP number. (By default, it’s at 10.0.1.1.) With the PC attached to the AirPort wireless network, open the Add Printer wizard in Printers and Faxes. Following the steps in the wizard, create a local printer, deselecting the Automatically Configure option. Next, click to create a new Standard TCP/IP Port, and enter your AirPort’s IP number in the IP number field. If the IP number is 10.0.1.1, the queue name should automatically fill in as IP_10.0.1.1. In the next screen, select Standard as the device type, and then specify Hewlett Packard Jet Direct. Finally, click on Finish, and then select your printer make and model from the list of available drivers.
but had no luck as well.
I'm trying to connect to an HP Lasterjet 2200.
Thanks,
-TimI fixed the problem. I coudln't get the Windows machine to find it on the network unless it was actually plugged into the USB port of the Airport Extreme.

What I really want to use the airport express for is streaming music from ITUNES or my IPHONE... I just need to find it on my network and as of now its not able to be found
If you have not yet "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds and then allowing it another minute to restart....you will not ever "find" the Express on your new network. Reason....the Express is remembering the settings for your old network and trying to connect to a network that no longer exists.
Make sure that your computer is connected to the default Apple Network xxxxxx wireless signal before you open AirPort Utility.
Then, configure it again to "join" your new wireless network.
