I have a MacBook and want to download Bonjour so I can use Dragon Dictate. Where do I find the download app to do this?
I have a Mac Book and just purchased Dragaon Dictate. I need to download Bonjour to allow the microphone to work. But where do I find the application to download Bonjour?
Sue321,
It's a waste of a very expensive Mac to use it as a simple Netflix/TV streamer when less expensive and more capable devices exist. The Mac will get dirty from being exposed, overheat and just be a pain hooking cables whenever you want to watch TV and trying to fiddle with a remote.
A better low cost option is to get either a $60 Roku or a AppleTV, or if you want to play BlueRay and regular movie DVD's and have a few video games around for the kids, then a Playstation. Buy a HDMI cable online, they are only about $10.
All three options have a remote control, and every thing is designed to work on the screen, no need for the computer.
With the Mac, your going to have problems with copy protection, sound and other accessibility problems as computers are not really designed to be used as entertainment devices, or to power a big screen, but rather versatile tools, and along with that versatility comes some sacrifice.
You can use the same Netflix account for both the Mac AND the Roku etc., at the same time, in fact both are very much integrated, watch one show on the Mac while having another on the TV.
Also if you so happen to burn out or have a electrical accident with the less expensive device, it's only $60, instead of a few thousand $$ with the Mac. Not to mention once you set it up, the Roku, AppleTV etc is pretty much done, sits there ready to be used as intended for anyone to use who can push a button.

I have a macbook and want to watch netflix on my tv, but i don't have an hdmi connection on the tv, just RCA. I bought the mini-display port to VGA. What do i need to connect it to RCA input on my TV?
There is 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 have a US itunes id but i live in india and want to download apps from indian itunes store also, how can i do that?? can itunes accounts be merged?? if i create another id on itunes India app store will i lose all my US store apps???
please suggest??You can't transfer any content from one account to another account (nor can accounts be merged) - all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
Do you not have copies of all of your downloads e.g. on your computer or backup of your downloads/library ? Whilst you are in Australia you can't redownload your UK purchases (you have to be in a country to use its store), if you have them on your computer's iTunes library then you should be able to stream them from it to your Apple TV -
I have a macbook and I'm having trouble backing up my pictures on an external hard drive. The Macbook won't install the backup drive soft ware? It is a new Sea Gate hard rive from costco.
You don't want to install the software that came with the drive, you don't need it and it will be problematic. Connect the new drive, open Disk Utility, select the new drive and partition it using the GUID partition scheme, then format it as Mac OS extended journaled and it will be easy to use with your Mac.

Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?
here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/
"Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update."
We have to wait for the Firmware-Updates. Some are already here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5394
And I am shure, that you will need for Power Nap one of the newer Macs with SSD from 2011 and 2012. -
I have a nano and want to transfer my music to my new iPad, in all the excitement of setting up my iPad I created a new apple Id and now I can't sync my music!
Can someone please advise if there is a way to transfer my music to my iPad manually? If so, please detail step by step, as I am technologically challenged! Thanks in anticipation.You can search within your music folder on your pc, or within documents folder for a music folder.
In any case, you would need to sync with itunes

If the music was purchased from the itunes store, you can also download it directly from there to the ipad. -

I have a macbook that I bought second hand. The mac has a dual boot system with bootcamp on one side and snow leopard on the other. I would like to be able to hook to a larger hdmi monitor so that in both systems I could see better since on the leopard side the computer has PS4. I have purchased the dvi to HDMI accessory and purchased the HDMI to DVI cable, and can see fine on the bootcamp side, but nothing on the leopard side. Could somebody help me with configuring things so that it will see both side?
Also on a minor note, I need to purchase a new battery for this item and don't know which one to purchase. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially with the display/monitor issue.
Thanks Sue
ps sorry but the operating system is OS XWhen you try to use the Mac side on your external monitor do you get a blank screen or do you see the aurora background?
It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here. -
How do I set up a new Apple ID iPad2 so I can use Facetime between my iPad2 when I'm on the road and my iMac at home?
All you need is the 99 cent Facetime for Mac application on your iMac. Get it here: http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime/
Instructions for setting up your iPad are in Chapter 7 of the iPad2 iOS4.3 User Guide -
I keep getting an error message "can not connect to the iTunes stores" - what gives.
Microsoft does not currently have a Mac App Store version of Microsoft Office. So any apps that you find in the Mac App Store that sound like those programs are probably helper programs by third-party developers. The only way to get Office for Mac is directly from Microsoft on their website.

I have been trying to download a movie to my IPad. I have never had trouble before but the last two times I get an error message that says "Cannot Download" There is not enough storage to download your movie. You can manage your storage in Settings.
When I go to my settings it says I have 5GB remaining storage and 5GB storage used. I have deleted a lot of my music and games but am still having trouble. Has anyone experienced this before?5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie. Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with. The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad. You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.
