khryzpher,
your model MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test comes on one of those two grey installation DVDs; it’s an essential tool for troubleshooting. You’re going to need to contact Apple directly to purchase a replacement pair for your MacBook Pro; be sure to have its serial number handy.
Your model MacBook Pro didn’t originally come with Snow Leopard installed at the factory. If you don’t have the white retail Snow Leopard DVD, then I’d also recommend that you purchase that, in case your hard drive fails and you’d like to install Snow Leopard onto its replacement.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

I have a MacBook Pro , Model Identifier MacBook Pro8,2 , MAC OX S 10.7.4
I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
thanks in advance..

You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone or iPad.

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.

I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works, and shuts down after 30 seconds it. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.
I am planning on buying a new MacBook Pro later this year, but for the meantime I'm not sure if I should buy a new power adaptor, or if this is a problem with my MacBook Pro. Also does anyone know where I can buy a battery in the UK for 1st Gen MacBook Pro.

OWC has batteries for 1,1 generation MacBook Pros and they ship internationally - http://eshop.macsales.com/.
Your best bet for a power adapter is to get one from Apple. Third-party adapters just don't seem to be reliable (or safe). You can also buy a replacement battery directly from Apple, of course, but they're a bit more expensive.
Good luck,

Scuff on MacBook Pro (Late 2006) non-glare screen

My otherwise pristine MacBook Pro (Late 2006 model, 2.33GhZ C2D) has developed a 1/4-inch scuff right in the middle of the screen. Small, but highly distracting, particularly when the area beneath it is white.
Can anyone recommend a product to minimize or buff it out? I've seen this stuff, but it's more for cleaning than removing scratches and scuffs:
http://www.klearscreen.com/searchresult.aspx?CategoryID=3
I've also seen iPod scratch removers, but they seem to buff plastic out to a glossy finish, whereas this is a non-glare surface ... sigh.
Thanks for any help!

Late 2006? You do not say what graphic card.
I would imagine you are long past any recall.

Macbook Pro late 2011 not powering on. The charger shows a blinking dim orange/green light. I have tried pressing the small button on the side of the macbook pro to check the battery, but no lights show up.

Hey Angelo_here,
I'd run through these steps:
If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

I have an older model iMac with Snow Leopard. Can I download the icloud? and if so where can I do that?

I have an older model iMac with Snow Leopard. Can I download the icloud? and if so from where can I do that?

iCloud requires OS X 10.7.2 or later, so you have to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion or Lion.
First, see if your Mac is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If it's supported, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. While Mountain Lion is downloading, you can make a backup of your data.
When the download finishes, the installer will show up, so follow the steps to upgrade Mac OS X. After upgrading, you will be able to log in iCloud in System Preferences > iCloud.
Also, see if your programmes are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X.

I have an older model Mac Pro that isn't WIFI: how do I update it?

I have an older model of Mac Pro — the MacPro 1,1 — that isn’t wifi capable.a wifi network.
How do I update it to a connect it wirelessly to my router?
Would a PCIe card work?   If so, what would be the best sort?Should I, instead, get the relevant Airport base station?
Any help would be appreciated

Since the early Intel-based Mac Pro tower was available in a heavily customized version
with many extras as a BTO, and also lesser optioned models, the parts may be harder
to come by now after this passage of time, than when the MacPro1.1 first arrived.
Wi-Fi:    Optional AirPort Extreme card (802.11a/b/g/n)
Bluetooth:    Optional Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
Modem:    Optional Apple USB Modem (MA034Z/A)
Fibre Channel: Optional (MA462G/A, MA465G/A)
Internal RAID:   Optional Mac Pro RAID Card with 256 MB cache & 72-hour cache battery backup
An internal Wi-Fi or BT component likely had an external antenna such as the last model
PowerMac G5 with a similar all-metal aluminum case, as that does resist radio waves...
The answer for issues with last model PPC G5 aluminum, was an external antenna.
Not sure what model or part numbers were involved in any of the BTO or dealer installed options.
So if you use an expansion card idea, note the metal case of the early MacPro may block it.
You could use an Apple Express, and use it via Ethernet cable, to extend a network to MacPro.
PS: The two linked PCI card adapters are not familiar to me, nor are the complexities of this
series of early MacPro; other than they do have similar issues with wireless due to metal case.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have a older intel MacBook pro, now when I try to start up instead of the apple logo I see a file folder with a question mark. Need some help please.

I have a first gen MacBook pro with intel chip. All of a sudden when I try to start up instead of the apple logo I see a file folder with a question mark. Phone support wasn't much help since it is a older machine. It's either a software issue or the hard drive went. Any ideas on how to fix if it's a software issue would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Thanks I tried that and when I click repair it tells me
Invalid volume header
Checking hfs plus volume.
Invalid b-free node size
Volume check failed
Error: the underlying task reported faliure on exit.
1 hfs volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error.

MacBook pro (late 2008) shutting down even without the battery

Hello
I have a MacBook pro late 2008 model, recently it started to randomly shut down.
I have tried the following
- Reseting Pram
- Reseting the SMC
- Recalibrating the battery
- New hard drive
- Returned to original RAM (from 4 to 2Gb)
- Removed the battery and run with the MagSafe only
- Downloaded a fan control program to run it at max and verify if this was not a heating issue (although this also happens right after starting the laptop)
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm already loosing hope on my Mac :(
Thanks for any help that you could provide

Hi V,
Even though the symptoms don't match up exactly, you may have the NVIDIA issue. First, go to System Profiler > Hardware > Graphics/Displays and see if you have the GeForce 8600M GT GPU. This is the GPU covered under the free repair program. While there, also look at PCIe Lane Width. If it says anything other than x16, the GPU has issues (but this is only one potential symptom). If you have the 8600 GPU, bring the MBP to an Apple Store or AASP for free testing. If Apple's free test confirms the issue, repair is free. Read all about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
Also, whether you have the 8600 or not, you should run all the updates in Software Update.
