I'd like to be able to use my MacBook Pro for both Russian and English. How do I configure the notebook to do this?
John, are you perhaps already on Lion? I am a late adapter, so still on 10.6.8
I am not sure, whether I am able to put here a screen shot to help you ...
NO its not working :-(
But I am sceptic, that this will work. (I never saw pictures on this forum ... )

Perhaps you drop me a message to my email?

Is there a way to upgrade a mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro so that it can use a wireless n network?
I have a mid 2009 13" macbook pro, and I live in a share house. The router we are using is very far away from my room and I do not get very good signal strength. However, my phone and ipad, which are newer, and have wireless n capability, are able to get quite good speeds on this network. I think my problem is that my computer only has a wireless a/b/g airport card. I know that it is meant to be compatible with the draft IEEE 802.11n specification but I don't think it is connecting to the network as a wireless n device.
Is there a way for me to upgrade this card? I have seen a number of cards on ebay etc but I cannot find one that matches my needs. Alternatively, is there a way to make my computer join the network as a wireless n device?I am not sure swapping a wireless card is an easy exercise.. I would not recommend it.
You can hunt up a USB wireless stick that is Mac compatible..
Or you can buy an Apple Express and use it as a wireless bridge. There are plenty of alternative wireless bridges.. you just plug them in by ethernet and use wireless.. depending on the brand of wireless router you have. -
My Time machine won't back up. Recently updated to OS x 10.7.5. Error message is as follows: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Time Machine Backup/Scott’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use." What is wrong and how do I fix it? Thanks.
Have you tried restarting the computer? Also, see Time Machine Error from this pages sidebar under More Like This.

I have purchased the VGA Connectors for both a iMac and Macbook Pro so that i can connect my promethean board projector to the computer and I can not get the image on the screen. Does anyone have any suggestions?

thank you, I have the adaptors so glad that would work. I just heard adaptors burn out often. So Just thought for my main iMac computer, a plug would be best. I will get one once I move.
Any other suggestions or things I should know about apple products in Ireland. I know there are no Apple stores there.
An adaptor doesn't burn out. It merely serves as a means to connect the power prongs on your device to the power supply.
I believe you are thinking of a transformer, which you do not need. A transformer converts one voltage to another.
You don't need to do that as the power supply of modern electronics can take almost any worldwide voltage.
Look at the label on the device. It should indicate the input power acceptable of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
Additionally, I found the adapters cheaper in the UK than I found them in the US. They were available in most supermarket chains. I wasn't in Ireland, so I can't say one way or the other.
If you have something that doesn't have that input power spec, it would require a transformer.
On other items like electric clocks or things with motors, you can connect them up to a transformer and the voltage will be correct, but the frequency may not. For clocks, that will cause them to not keep time well. For motors, they will burn out. -
I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance. Thanks in advance.
1. Insert your DVD.
2. Open Disk Utilities (Application> Utilities> Disk Utilities). Highlight your DVD and press "New Image" on the upper toolbar.
3. Choose the location you would like to save your DVD from the drop down menu, "Desktop" is usually the best choice. Then click Save.
4. When finished, your DVD icon will appear on the desktop with the .dmg extension.
5. With iMovie open, double-click the .dmg file you created to mount it. The iMovie import window will then appear asking you to choose. Click Import All and wait for the Import to complete. -

WHat do I do if my iPhone 4S won't sync to my macbook pro, and my phone doesn't seem to upgrade to itunes11.1? The upgrade should be on the iTunes upgrade page, but there's no icon.
There must be something wrong. You should update the iTunes on your Macbook pro to make iTunes recognize your iPhone. For more details, check out:iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support

see above
You will have to tell us what connectors you have available on your MacBook Pro and on your Sony TV. In each case, it varies from model to model and depends on what you already have hooked up.

Any outdated Mac Programs on MacBook Pro '09 that I can or should delete to save space?
There are some Mac Programs that came with my late 2009 MacBook Pro that I **think** are outdated / unsupported and I am wondering if I can or should delete them to free up critical space. (I use my MacBook Pro for genealogy files and kids' photos and videos so I often get a critically low on space issue -
like down to 25GB or less out of 250GB).
Some programs I have never really used, but I hate to delete anything that came with the Mac that I might one day have a use for or want if I was to sell it or
trade it, but I think some programs are no longer supported.
Among these that I have questions on are iWork '09, iWeb that I think may no longer be supported. (Never used them anyway really - I have pages and Numbers that may be part of iWork, but I also have the Mac version of Office installed). I have 2 different versions of Pages. I think the old version
(which I had created some documents in) was the old purplish ink jar icon and the newer one looks like a piece of paper with a pencil or pen icon.
I have created files in the old version, but not the new version. Can I safely delete the old icon / app without affecting those old files?
I never used the old version of Numbers or Keynote, so I already deleted the old icons for those.
Others that I am not sure if I need or what came originally with the Mac vs. downloaded later (like from the app store) include:
Apple Script, ArcSoft Connect Suite, Automator, Dashboard, Dictionary, DVD Player, iDVD, iMovie, PanoramaMaker, PhotoBooth, Tech Tool Deluxe,
the Unarchiver, VirusBarrier Express.
GarageBand came with, but I have never used it. Hate to delete it unless I really can't afford it.
To my knowledge, I have never used any of those except perhaps DVD Player or iDVD, whichever one can or does play a movie unless it will play a movie
without either of those.
If any of the above are critical or recommended to keep either for proper functioning in general or to do certain recommended things (like play a DVD and I must have one of the DVD / movie ones in particular), then I need to know that as well as what I can safely delete without either significant issue or
shooting myself in the foot.
I mean, a Dictionary would be nice to have in theory, but probably not at the sacrifice of space because I usually just Google a word for the definition anyway.
Unarchiver is apparently an unzipper, but not sure I have ever used it unless it was seamless and not obvious. Does Mac have some internal unzipper utility
that could be unzipping my files behind the scenes without my being aware of it.
By the same token, if there are any others that I would / should have on my computer that are known to be useless (GameCenter?), please advise as well.
These are the kinds of things I need to know as well as what some of these are / do.

I just got a Macbook Pro for Christmas, replacing my old 2008 one. On my old one, I was able to screen grab (shift+command+F4) specific area sizes (like 500x500 area) and the picture it would export would also be 500x500. On this new Mac, the areas I screen grab are exported larger than they are when I take them. For instance, I'd take a screen grab of a 500x500 picture I drew, upload it to an image sharing website, and it would appear nearly double that size.
I've tried altering my display to see if that helps, but they always are bigger than what I grab.
Any help would be great.To anyone who may have this problem, I figured it out. Retina display makes it bigger than it actually is. To fix this, after each screenshot, open up the image in preview. There will be a little toolbox option, and within that a box with arrows in it. Set the dimensions to 50 rather than 100 and it should be good to go.

I have a new MacBook Pro and would like to dual boot ot XP. Is this possible using the Bootcamp version that comes with it? I wonder whether Apple have XP drivers for the new MacBook or if they have only developed those for Windows 7? Thanks in advance!
Just install XP into a Virtual Machine. Like VMware Fusion, Parallels or Virtual Box.
Then you can run both OS X & XP at the same time. No need to dual boot with XP as it doesn't use that many rsources and runs fine in a VM. -
Okay so . . . just bought a new Mac OS X because my last MacBook Pro burned up. I was luckily able to put everything on an external hard drive. But when I try to play my movies from the hard drive or any other DVD that were downloads that are AVI it says "QuickTime Player can't open "Genetic Roulette_(360p).avi" because a required codec isn't available." So I went ahead and followed the instructions and download the DivX but it still will not play. Can anyone out there help me?

Configuring external Seagate drive so that I can use Time Machine on two separate machines
I am using both an iMac and a Laptop (Macbook Pro) and wish to use Time Machine to back up both machines. However, in my ignorance it seems not to recognise which machine it backs up and thus overwrites itself from the 'other' machine. Can I do this please? And if so how is it best done?
It should not overwrite the other backup, so something isn't quite right.
You should just turn on Time Machine and tell it to use that disk.
How is the drive connected?

Sleep/Wake problem in Vista Ultimate
I have no issue when I manually put the MacBook to sleep using the keyboard sleep or OS sleep function, but if I let the automatic setting do it, I can't ever have it wake up, nor does it really go to sleep as the laptop is warm when I touch it.
