I have the macbook purchased in early 2010 and i just bought a kanex hdmi cable to connect my laptop to my tv so i can not get sound on my computer. I then was told to purchase the monster icable to get sound but i still can not get sound. help?
please help
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort/HDMI adapter you will need to use external speakers for audio. The Mini DisplayPort/HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're usually no audio plugs on the TV to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. Only the Mid-2010 (7,1) MacBook can output sound along with video to your HDMI. All others output video only with the HDMI adapter.
If your TV has a DVI plug you can use a Mini DisplayPort/DVI adapter. The TV will have RCA audio plugs for use with the DVI.
Some of the newer TVs can use different input audio plugs with the HDMI. You'll have to check with your TV manufacturer to find out if your TV can do this.

I have a macbook pro 13" early 2011 and i need to upgrade the ram
my plan is to upgrade to a ssd and upgrade the ram but i'm not sure what kind of ram (pc3-8500/10600/10660/10666/12800) and how much i can put in it..
on apples website it says i can upgrade to a maximum of gb of ram http://support.apple.com/kb/SP619?viewlocale=no_NO my mactracker software says this:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
so how much ram can i install, and what kind of ram.. i know it has to be DDR3....Apple only supports 8 GB, but you can install 16 GB on your computer. You have to buy SDRAM DDR3 1333 MHz. You can buy RAM on OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM

I currently have a MacBook Pro 17in (Early 2011) and it Turns Off randomly.
I currently have a MacBook Pro 17 inch (Early 2011). Whenever I remove the power cord from my Mac it will automatically/randomly turn off. I though that it was a software problem so I reformated my entire drive and reinstalled the OS. I also have it running the current OS and have gotten all the updates. However my laptop still turns off whenever I remove the power cord. I'm not sure what to do next.
p.s. I have googled some way to fix this "problem" such as turning the computer off and waiting for 15 seconds with the power cord remove but still my MacBook Pro has the same symtoms.
Is it a problem with my Mac? Is it fixable?

Even though you are out of warrenty they may still have a look at this for you in the store as Apple are renowned for great aftercare . -
I am having a problem with the jack in for the headphones. I have bought it brand new from a local authorised apple store about 10 days ago. As soon as I plugged in my headphones and tried them, the sound was coming out of one side of the headphone and the plug inside my macbook pro was loose. When i tried moving it the sound was coming out of the device. What can I do?
Take it back to the store you bought it from. It will definitely be taken care of

If I already have an apple id for my itunes account and I purchased an iphone should i use the same apple id for the iclouid feature or set up a different one?
Personally, I'd keep it simple and keep the same one.

Pretty much, it keeps giving me the error message..."Unable to complete back up due to Iphone refusing the request." HELP!!
Did you try to delete the latest backup from the list in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices?

I have an iMac that I purchased back in 2010 and over the past 9 month or less my computer just started shutting down while someone was in the process or working on it. What could this come from? Is there a simple solutions to this problem?
Which model iMac do you have? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1758 How to identify iMac models
Which OS is currently installed?
Check out KB Articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If not of the above works and you have AC, call them. Let them deal w/it. Otherwise, take your iMac down to your local AS or an AASP. Diagnostic testing is FREE!
You can also research for a solution on YouTube's "How To" website and iFixit. -

I have an old iPhone 4 that finally stopped working. I have an unlimited data plan and want to keep it. When I called customer service, I was told like in the past that if you purchase the new phone at full price, you can keep your old plan. However, after some time on the phone i was told by the csr and supervisor that their system is not allowing them to complete the transaction without changing to a limited data plan. I was told to try going to a store and buy the phone. Same thing happened. Has Verizon changed something and not told their employees?
Seems like people having this problem are those coming from a phone that doesn't have a nano SIM card...so when Verizon issues them one they end up changing their plan. No clue why this keeps happening but stay on top of them. As long as you initiated the request for your plan to be reinstated within the 14 day time frame they should put it back. Interested in seeing how this plays out. There is still one phone in my house that hasn't been upgraded (an iPhone 4). I'm hoping when we do upgrade it at full retail they won't mess with her unlimited data plan

After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters at university. I don't play computer games and I don't watch movies. I do store photos and videos of my kids and music on iTunes. I also like browsing the net with numerous windows open, check email etc. I am really wanting long battery life as I do a lot of my work on the couch - not close to a PowerPoint. Would the air do the trick or will it soon be outdated as Apple move towards retina display? Both air and pro seem very thin - almost the same? And not much difference in weight either so both very portable which is also a necessary requirement. Just can't help dreaming about that 12 hour claimed battery life. Any helpful advice/opinions, very much appreciated. Thanks
It's not likely that you'll get 12 hours in reql life. Those benchmarks are set under very strict controlled conditions. Kind of like mileage per gallon claims on cars. If 16GB of ram is an option at all I'd highly recommend you get that. As far as storage 256GB isn't alot, consider storing some things on an external thunderbolt real
