I want to display MacBook Pro email videos on my Panasonic TV. I bought it in Jan 2010, one article says the function is supported on mid-2010 models and later. Think I can buy the hook ups and get this to work?
I want to display computer contents (email videos, YouTube videos) on my Panasonic HDTV. Can a model from Jan. 2010 do this? Thanks.
Yes, easily — but to get the audio to the TV through the same HDMI cable as the video, you'll need an adapter like the ones I linked in this thread:

How can I erase the data on my 2009 macbook pro that won't turn on because of a faulty motherboard? Do I just remove the hard drive, install it in a working mac, and erase it that way? Thanks.
You put the internal drive in an enclosure. If you choose to keep the drive, you don't need to erase it.

Where can I find the plugin to open camera raw files for Nikon D810 for Photoshop CS5.1? I've looked around the site but cannot get this to work.. Thank you.
See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
You could use the free DNG Converter. -
ICal Server email invitations - how to test and get this feature working
iCal Server email invitations - how to test and get this feature working
Thanks Apple for introducing this nice little feature into iCal but then completely neglecting to write any sort of useful manual that can explain what to do when it doesn't work after you set it up for the first time.
At long, long last we have finally got there after about 6 months of fiddling on and off, so I thought I had better post up the process since many have similar issues and it is hard to ascertain what is going on.
Using an external email server was just a waste of time and it still wouldn't handle the replies properly even though it was supposed to handle '+addressing'. In the end I set up a special gmail account for the iCal server and finally got it working. I list here the process of configuring and testing the system to check that each little stage is working.
Set up a Gmail account in Apple Mail to access and test in the usual way for any email account (e.g. [email protected].);
Set the iCal server email to access the same email using the following settings:
IMAP
SMTP
[email protected]
smtp.gmail.com
Port: 993 [x] Use SSL
Port: 587 [x] Use SSL
User & Pwd
Login
User & Pwd
To test the settings:
send out a test email from Apple Mail to a non-server email address that you can access to check it has been received;
send out a test email from your non-server email account to [email protected] and check that it is received;
this tells you that the GMail account is setup correctly and working
Testing iCal:
I noted that iCal was deleting any emails that arrive in the inBox in Apple Mail as soon as they arrived (this is to be expected);
test that the invites are being sent from iCal by setting an event in iCal and inviting your non-server address (you may not see any sign of this in Apple Mail but you should catch it in the iCal server log and possibly in the Gmail sent mail box);
check that the invite is received at your non-server account and Accept it in iCal on another machine - the reply is automatically sent back;
the replies appear in Apple Mail but are quickly deleted by iCal. But their record for you to see is left in Gmail under 'All Mail';
Accepted invites appear as a notification button on the top left hand bar on iCal where you click to acknowledge them and then the attendee is shown as a green circled tick instead of a grey circled ?.
this shows that iCal invitations are working correctly. Whenever an event is updated, all invitees should be updated by email automatically.
I hope this helps anyone - I could certainly have done with something similar when I started with looking at this.

The Error and Access logfile in the Server app under iCal server are very useful in determining any errors. I got lots of imip errors when I didn't quite have the settings right. The port is critical and it won't tell you this is the problem if it fails.iCal Server email invitations - how to test and get this feature working

Want to display MacBook Pro on TV but no icons appear
I bought a DVI to HDMI lead to view the MacBook pro's screen on a 32" Sony Bravia, but all that appears is the wallpaper of the laptop!??... No icons, or windows of software opened, just the wallpaper.
I went into system settings/displays and noted that the tv displayed a window showing the Sony tv listed, yet it wasn't on the laptop! As I changed the resolution on the laptop to see if anything changed, the tv would show a split second of some of the icons as it tried to change but reverts back to just wallpaper.
I initially mentioned that the lead doesn't work to the supplier and that one of the pins was slightly inset on the laptop end, so they sent out another, which is identical and performs the same.
Any suggestions appreciated.
ThanksIf you can see the desktop wallpaper on the TV everything is working normally. You have an extended desktop. If you move the mouse cursor off the edge of the MBP's screen you will see it appear on the TV. Similarly you can drag windows from the MBP's screen to the TV. At present the MBP's screen is the primary display and shows the menu bar and dock, and the TV is the secondary display. To change this go into System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement. You will see an image of two screens, a smaller one representing the MBP's display and a larger one representing the external display. At the top of the smaller screen in the image is a bar, this represents the menu bar at the top of the screen. Drag it from the smaller screen to the larger screen. The external display will become the primary display and the menu bar and dock will appear there and any new windows or applications that you open subsequently will appear there too.

How can i get a free trial? it's previously been downloaded, not for my use but now it wont let me have it and i need it for college. Help?
gbraye,
Is a single month student subscription an option, or using another computer?
The failure to download is owing to the facts that you can only have a trial once, and the Adobe system is based on identifying through the computer. -
I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.
Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

My USB port on my Macbook Pro stopped working and i tried the SMC reset and the one closest to the SD port still continues to not work. Is there anything i can do besides bringing it in?
I would do another SMC reset. If nothing changes you should take the computer in to an Apple store for a free diagnostic. You should make an appointment.

I purchased Acrobat Pro for Mac on Amazon. When I try to register with the registration code they give me, it doesn't work. (It has letters and the registration boxes won't accept letters.) How do I get this to work?
If you don't have original install disks for your Mac, you can order replacements disks directly from Apple at a nominal cost. The original install DVDs are required to reset the password.
If you have no data on your drive that you want to keep, you can boot up from the OSX Snow Leopard disk and install OSX SL.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key during startup. The Mac should boot from the CD/DVD drive into the installer.
Follow the prompts, erase the disk and install OSX Snow Leopard. -
Retina Display MacBook Pro eye problem and strain
Hi, the name is Ben
Recently, I boought a retina display and have since been having noticeable eye problem.
(strain, fatigue, oversensativity to computer monitor/screen ligthing)
My question was, has anyone been experiencing the same.
I use my computer pretty much all day, since my work/studies are all based on it.
Still, after 2 weeks of using retina display macbook pro, I have rapidely seen my eyes
starting to hurt, being oversensitive to computer monitor (not that I can't use any, but am
very sensitive to any lighting and need particular moderation in usage)
Now true, there ARE many good habits I did not know of before,(see some examples below)
that I am trying to adopt but still (reducing only in part the problem), I must say I am rather worried,
since I have never had any similar problem in 5 yearsof using my previous 13", macbook, mid 2007.
Any commments, or suggestion (constructive of course) would be welcome.
(few examples of of good habits I have tried so far)
as regularly standing (/30 min),
look at something far away for 20 second (/20 min), blinking regularly, closing eyes for a moment,
adjusting lighting in work environnement, buying an antiglare film or device (nushield) , adjusting screen position,
not working to close to screen, using bigger fontsan hour on my MBP by itself (someone else's office, a hotel room, an airplane, my lazy sofa) and my eyes lose the ability to focus --and I'm toast.
Ok, I'll explain why.
First off your iPad and iPhone screen is smaller, thus doesn't reflect as much as a larger display will.
Your other displays are in a static environment where you have reduced the glare or it's been reduced just by chance.
When you take the glossy screen laptop to another location without adequate environmental features to reduce glare imposed (no overhead lights, closed windows, low light etc.) on the screen, thus your getting eyestrain from the glare.
It's caused by the slightly out of focus reflections verses the screen image, your eyes are automatically refocusing between the two images.
Your solution in this matter is to apply a anti-glare film to the laptops glossy screen, unfortunately it's going to cost money and be replaced often as it gets dirty, dries out and peels at edges etc.
Ideally a anti-glare matte screen would be the choice in the first place. I use my Mac for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and don't have the eyestrain problem anymore. -
I'm planning to buy a new retina display macbook pro, but I have a thunderbolt display and I use the display's power cable to supply the power to a macbook air. As the power connector on the new macbook pro is differet, It looks to me that I won't be able to connect it to the new computer. I'm I correct?
You'll just need this adapter, which you can buy or order with the computer:

USB Superdrive and my new 15" Retina display MacBook Pro
This probably sounds stupid, but I recently purchased a new 15" retina display Macbook Pro. A week after I brought it home, I went to put in a DVD, and discovered it didn't have a built in CD/DVD drive. (DUH - first one I ever bought that didn't have one - so much for old guy assumptions.) So, I went out and spent more money on an Apple USB Superdrive, which the Apple store employee cheerfully told me was simply plug and play into the USB port. I plugged, and it won't play. In fact, after 15 seconds, it automatically ejects the CD/DVD. The instructions that came with the Superdrive said "plug and play." That was it. What can I do to get this thing to work??
I really feel like an idiot. I took the Apple USB Superdrive and the computer back to the Apple Store and told the employee it didn't work. He said, "Sure it does. I have one hooked up at home on the exact same computer. (MacBook Pro 15" with retina display) He plugged it in, inserted a DVD, and, lo and behold, it worked perfectly. What a shock! Now, here's the kicker. The Apple USB Superdrive had been packed in the box upside down. The bottom of the Superdrive is black with a beautiful Apple logo on it. The top of the Superdrive is the plain burnished silver color with no identifying marks or logos. I had set it on my desk the way it came from the box - UPSIDE DOWN ! With the Apple logo on top, I had been loading the CD's/ DVD/s upside down. Of course it's not going to work that way! It now functions perfectly after I was shown that I had the Superdrive upside down on the desk. I tell you, it's tough to get old. A nice little Apple logo on top of the Superdrive instead of on the bottom might have helped too. Problem solved......
