I have a 2006 macbook pro. What cords would I need to hook it up to my HDTV?

I already have the hdmi cable.

What are the system requirements that your new Adobe softare requires? If the new software requires 16GB of ram for example, then no you can't upgrade your computer to meet the requirements. Tell us what the sogtware system requirements are then we can tell you if you can upgrade to meet the requirements.

Macbook Pro - What Equipment do I need to hook my Macbook to speakers for a banquet hall?

Hi Everyone!
I was asked to be in charge of music at my Aunts Wedding Shower in a few weeks, I was going to make Playlists on my Macbook Pro, I just need to know what type of equipment I need. I will prob rent a speaker from a music store, but is there a specific plug in I need? Or some sort of mini switch board that connects from the laptop to the speaker? Or a cable?? please advise
Its going to be held in a banquet hall for about 90 people...
Hope to hear from someone soon!
Thanks!

Your Macbook Pro can not fully provide enough sound for a banquet hall unless you're using speakers with a built in AMP.
Here's what you do - get a normal AMP or Receiver and connect your speakers on the audio out of the AMP/Receiver. Now with the image you see below - connect the 1/8" jack to your headphone jack of your Macbook Pro and connect the RCA jacks in the Line In or AUX in of the AMP/Receiver - on your AMP/Receiver, there is a selector in from that selects CD/PHONO/Line in - select Line in so you can hear the sound/music from your Macbook Pro.
It is however, much better to use a Mixer as Adam93T states. But you will need more cables unless you use a mixer with it's own AMP built in.
Good luck

I have a macbook pro. what equipment do i need to watch my computer on my flat screen tv?

i have a macbook pro. what equipment do i need to watch my computer on my flat screen tv? thank you.

Step 1. Peek in the back of the TV and identify what kind of inputs it has. Ideally, you'd want an HDMI socket, followed by a DVI or in worst case, analog VGA. Try to determine what's the "native resolution" of the panel.
Step 2. Based on what you find, peruse in the Apple Store (Mac Accessories / Cables section, if online) for the appropriate dongle/converter. One end goes to the Thunderbolt/MiniDisplay Port on the Mac, other end depending on the output to feed to the TV. Also buy the corresponding cable of the desired length.
Step 3. Plug everything together. You have to decide whether to use display mirroring (Mac & TV show the same thing) or separate displays (each shows different stuff).
Step 4. Based on 1 and 3, open System Preferences / Displays and adjust screen resolution(s) for optimum viewing pleasure. The Mac's display usually far exceeds the external display's max resolution capabilities, so you have to downsize as needed, if in mirroring mode.
Step 5. Enjoy the results.
Edit: If your TV has HDMI input AND your MacBook Pro is a Retina, you can skip the first half of step 2. The Mac already has HDMI output port, so you just need the cable.

What cords do i need to hook up my macbook to my tv?

what cords do i need to purchase in order to watch movies from my macbook to my tv?

You'll need a Mini DisplayPort adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini DisplayPort adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_2_16?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mini + displayport&sprefix=mini+displayport&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amini+displayport
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. Check your TV manual to see if it has audio plgs that work with one of the HDMI ports.
With the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

What cords do I need to hook up my mac book pro to a Toshiba 32 T.V.

I'm trying to find out if anyone can help me with finding out what accessories I might need to hook up my mac to my toshiba 32 T.V. I could probably use a little guidence when it comes to istallation as well.

Assuming you have a recent MBP, i.e. purchased new in the last couple of years, and that your TV is modern one with HDMI inputs then you need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable. Apple have one:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H7128ZM/A/mini-displayport-to-hdmi-cable-2m?fn ode=MTY1NDA3Ng&s=topSellers
Installation involves connecting up the cable, then it's pretty much plug-and-play. The MBP should auto-detect your TV and you're good to go!

HT4818 When I try to partition my hard drive for Windows 7, I get an error saying The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro I believe and I really need assistance as soon as possible.

I have Windows 7 Premium Home and I have downloaded the Drivers and when I click Boot Camp Assistance to partition my hard drive, it says, "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again." I can't do any backup really because I don't have an external hard drive to work with. I tried repairing disk permissions but that did not do anything. I really need a lot of help with this with some easy, step-by-step tutorials or something. I believe I have a 2006 version of Macbook Pro(4,1).

Once you have obtained an external drive and connected it you will 'clone' your internal drive to it.
Download Carbon Copy Cloner (it is not free but there is a fully functional trial version which is). Use it to clone your internal drive to your external drive. When that is done you will reboot from the clone and use Disk Utility to erase the internal drive (choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) as the format (this is normally preset, but check). Make sure to give the external drive a 'distinctive' name, don't want to get drives mixed up in this process.
Once that is done you will use Carbon Copy Cloner (from the clone) to restore the external to the internal.

I want to buy a 15 inch retina MacBook Pro what configruation do I need?

I would like to buy a 15 inch MacBook Pro with Retina display but can't decide on a confiruation to get. Here are the things I do on my computer
Use all of the pre-loaded apps Mail, Safari, etc.
Download more from the Mac App Store
Import pictures from my iPhone 5 and iPad 4 and edit them in Aperture
Use iLife and iWork
My budget is around $2600
I will either customize it so it cost less than $2600 or just buy the standard $2199 model.
Please let me know what you all think as to what configuration I should buy!
This will be to replace my 17 inch MacBook Pro from April 2010 whitch has a 2.53GHz Intel Dual-Core i5 processor, 4GB 1067MHz RAM, 500GB Hard Drive

If I were configuring a Retina model, I would make sure that I ordered the maximum 16GB of RAM and the 512GB solid state storage. If that's $2,600, then go for it.
Through MacMall, that configuration is $3,183.99. But I think that it would be worth it.
Good luck,
Clinton

I have the Apple MacBook Pro MC723LL/A and I need a new battery.

Which one would I buy? Thanks

No, that one is for the pre-unibody MBPs models "early 2008" and older that had user-removeable batteries (and silver keyboards). Won't work in the newer "black keys" models like yours.
If anything, it's this one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB772LL/A/rechargeable-battery-15-inch-macbook -pro-aluminum?fnode=5a
However, the advert does not make it clear if it its limited to only certain mdles of 15-inch MBPs.
Best advice is in Leroy's post--take it to Apple and let then figure out which battery you need.
NOTE: Don't put too much faith in the negative reviews in the Store. When people post here that their battery failed prematirely, about 90 percent of the time their complaint includes. "I don't understand. I never use the computer on battery!"
These batteries will die young if not used. I try to run mine on battery once or twice a week.

I have a 2006 MacBook Pro and the first apple screen loads but when at login the users won't show.

What can I do

Hey there Pinestreet87,
It sounds like your computer seems to boot but will not show your users so you cannot log in.
I suggest these steps from the article named:
Try a Safe Boot
If you're using Mac OS X 10.2 or later, you can start up your computer in Safe Mode, which includes an automatic disk check and repair. If you're using Mac OS X 10.1.5 or earlier, skip to the next section. A Safe Boot, which starts up your computer into Safe Mode, may allow you to start up your computer successfully using a reduced version of the system software. To do this, follow these steps:
Start up in Safe Mode.
After the system has fully started up, restart your computer again normally.
If the computer successfully restarts, you do not need to do any more troubleshooting. If the issue persists, try Disk Utility.
Try Disk Utility
Start from the Recovery System or Internet Recovery (OS X Lion or Mountain Lion).
If your computer shipped with a Mac OS X Install disc, insert the installation disc, and restart the computer while holding the C key.
If using a Recovery partition or Internet Recovery (OS X Lion and later): When your computer finishes starting up, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities window.
If using an installation disc: Choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Important: If you started from an installation disc, do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must start from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
Select your OS X volume.
Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Tip: With Mac OS X v10.6 and earlier, always start up your computer from an Install or Restore disc when using Disk Utility to verify or repair your startup volume. Otherwise, you might see some disk error messages.
Use fsck if necessary
fsck is a command-line utility that may be able to verify and repair a disk. If you can successfully start up in Safe Mode or use Disk Utility while started up from a disc, you don't need to use fsck. Here are some situations in which fsck may be necessary.
From: Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

Have 2006 MacBook Pro with wireless KB. Some of keys (caps lock, tab) are not working. How do I fix this?, Have 2006 MacBook Pro with wireless KB. Some of keys (caps lock, tab) are not working. How do I fix this?

Have a 2006 MacBook Pro with wireless mouse and Keyboard. Some of keys (caps lock, tab) on KB do not work any longer. I attempted to replace wireless KB with wired KB, but could not find one that was compatible with Snowleopard (10.6.8) OS. Would like to replace KB with either another wireless KB or wired KB.
However, in view of the scarcity of the above items, it appears I might serve myself better by fixing my current KB. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Superdrive bad, been replaced twice. Goes out really fast. 2006 macbook pro

I have a 2006 macbook pro 2.16 Ghz, 2GB of RAM, model # A1150. The computer is a hoss except the superdrive. It has been replaced twice and now my current drive is not working. Is anyone else having this issue? It seems to me the superdrive for this model Macbook pro may be a lemon.

Hi,
I have had the same issues... My 2006 Macbook Pro's original optical drive quit burning a year and 2 months ago. It would read discs, but it would not burn DVDs or CDs. I had the drive replaced for $361 CND and the problem seemed to be solved. The other day the replacement drive failed. I got a popup saying "The drive was unable to calibrate the laser power needed for this media."
I went into Apple to see if they could fix it and their response was to replace the replacement drive for another $361. The second drive was 2 months out of warranty and they had the balls to tell me I had to pay full dollar to fix the problem. This would be the second time I would have paid that amount for a drive replacement - ummmm no thank you.
I found a solution online that worked for me: Take a can of compressed air and squirt it into the optical drive's loading slot. I went right along the area you insert discs. After that, the drive seems to be burning again. My guess is that there was some dust accumulation on the write head of the superdrive.
Regardless, a $12 can of compressed air is much more reasonable than losing my work computer for several days while Apple puts in a new superdrive for $361. The solution was so simple I couldn't believe it. A drive cleaning CD did not do the trick with either drive. I wonder, instead of replacing the original drive, if all it needed was a burst of compressed air... I'll never know.
Hope this solution helps you too.

Will my 2006 macbook pro run ok with one fan?

i have an 2006 macbook pro and the right fan started to sound like a lawn mower. I opened her up, took apart the fan, cleaned it and put i back together and it still sounded like **** so i opened it up again and disconnected the fan...my question is...will my computer be ok with running on one fan for a bit until i get a replacement

Install istat pro and monitor the temperature.

No video, games, Skype and such and the MBP may survive.
Remember, the Apple engineers installed two fans for a reason.
Ciao.

I have owned my MacBook Pro for several months. Initially, I did not have any problems. Now I have a problem with Yahoo Mail. I can open my account, but when I try to get at my mail, 2 out of 3 times I get the spinning ball that never stops. Now what?

I have owned my MacBook Pro for several months without having any problems with it. Recently I am having trouble with my Yahoo Mail. I can open it fine, but 2 out of 3 times when I try to actually open a message, the spinning ball comes on the screen and does not stop. Sometimes, I can log out or force quit and come back in to my account and use it. Other times, I run into the same problem. Any suggestions?

No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.
