I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

Please help! I have a Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 13" Late 2011. i want to upgrade its RAM from 4GB to 16GB. But OWC sells two kinds of RAM, the DDR3 and the DDR3L.What is the different and which one would work better for my mac. Thanks!!!

I don't see any DDR3L on the page for the RAM that would fit your model -> http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM.
But the answer is that it doesn't really matter - just make certain to get 1333MHz.
Good luck,

It would not load and said the following. System extension cannot be used.
The system extension "/system/library/Extensions/AppleUSBthernetHost.text" was installed improperly and cannot be used.
Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product vendor for an update.

What can I do?

You recently updated iTunes to v.11.4? This message has popped up on many a Mac screen when this version was first made available, because this kext was obviously faulty.
You should try to download iTunes 11.4 again from Apple's website: the new version bears the same name, but this kernel extension has been updated, and the issues it was causing are now a thing of the past.
Should solve your problem, too...

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

You're welcome, j. If not enough free space availabe is the issue, now is a good time to upgrade to a much larger HD, as prices have never been better. Clear, illustrated directions are available at ifixit.com, macsales.com, powerbookmedic.com, youtube and others. Macsales, amazon and newegg have a nice selection of HDs, while the latter two also have lots of user reviews.
Given that your MBP is 4-5 years old, and the average life-span of a HD is 3-5 years . . . .
Given that you have a 17" MBP, you can install any capacity HD currently available, just make sure it's 2.5", SATA, and 12.5mm high or less (there's at least one Seagate monster out there that's 14-15mm high). All other things being equal, a 5400RPM HD is going to use less battery power, run cooler, quieter, and with less vibration, and, of course, run a bit slower than a 7200. An SSD is also a possibility (a very expensive one), but you're not going to see anywhere near the speed bump as newer machines due to the SATA 1 (1.5Gbps) SATA/HD bus bottelneck.

Thanks, Sig. I think I should've been a little clearer. I've attempted to do the updates on my Mac, but I get a warning that it will erase everything except calenders, email, etc from the iPad. I've syned the iPad with the Mac with no problem, but get scary messages when I try to do the latest update.

How can I use Greek symbols in a text in Pages? Greek symbols are not in the special character list.

How can I use Greek symbols in a Pages text? Greek symbols are not included in the special character collection.
I need to import for example a sigma from Word or Adobe illustrator and then Pages can recognise it. I can not find it from within Pages.

Special character palette from the edit menu does have sigmas under European ... > Greek ...
You can do a search at the bottom of the Special Character palette. Double click on the greek capital letter sigma. You will get a lot of sigmas.

I have a MacBook Pro. When surfing the web it will eventually slow to a crawl. When this occurs, there will be a small multi-colored wheel spinning until my latest command is handled. What is causing this and is there a way that I can modify or prevent this from happening? Is there a setting that will prevent this?

When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

My soon to be exhusband is accessing my Macbook Pro without my permission. I can see his computers when they are on in my sharing portion of the view finder, how can I prevent this? He is getting access to private information between my lawyer and I.

I am currently in the midst of a divorce, which is typically nasty but even nastier when you've mistakenly married satan. My soon to be ex is very tech savy (he can write his own programs). I am not. I have noticed when the family computers are on in the office they are connecting to my Macbook pro. I can see this through the finder and the computers show up as shared. I recently bought my macbook pro (within the last two months, he filed for divorce last year).
How do I prevent him from linking up to my computer and how do I password protect my files? If he is accessing my computer than he can see everything I am sending to my lawyer. Which includes information that counters some of his claims.

First of all you need to change your admin password and user name or create a new admin user, secondly you need to encryped any documents you are making by following the following guid...http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/11/password-protect-files-folders-in-mac-os-x/
This helped me close some files up, you need to make sure that you use a password he is not going to guess and that you don't store that password in the OS X keychain system.
This is what I would do if this where me though...
Buy and external HDD (all doucuments will be encrypted onto this drive, and the drive removed and taken away where ever I go.)
I would rebuild the Mac OS X to new like state, backing up only important items to the external HDD(wouldn't even bother with the software on it maybe only pages or Ms office)
Create a new user account and if you have an apple ID change the password of the ID again to somthing he is not going to guess.
Also make sure you are off the network he is on get your own broadband/network setup if you must.
Good luck with everything I hope it all turns out okay for you in the end.

I have an apple macbook pro late 2013 15" retina display crashing on me when i am connected to an external display?

I got the following message after the crash, it happens a few times a day, my system is the base with 16gb ram late 2013 15" macbook pro retina. it only happens when i am connected to an external display, I do have a converter from vga to displayport. also, i run 4 different browsers in incognito mode as i do web testing and also have about 30 tabs open and excel and a few other apps open, not sure if this is what makes it happen or if it is the external display? it is under warranty, so if you see anything below that may relate to the hardware i can bring it in and get it fixed.

Hey SreeHarsha Vardhan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you are having trouble with the screen on your Macbook. If you are not getting anything on the screen, take a look at this article.
