Internet on my MacBook Pro, via my iPhone 3G ? what's the best app ?
Hello you all,
I live in the middle of nowhere in Argentina. I have an iPhone 4S plus 3G contract with Movistar-Telefonica, and a MacBook Pro under Lion.
In your experience what would be the best app to get internet on my MacBook Pro via my iPhone 4S ?
And in that case where can I get the operation manual ? :-)
Best results with ? Airport Express Base station ? Bluetooth ? what else ?
Many thanks for your help !!!

There is no separate app, necessary or possible. If your carrier offers a tethering plan, the iPhone will support it directly. See:

If your carrier does not offer such a plan, then no app can change that.

Macbook pro OS 10.7.5, what is the best external back up drive to use with it?

We don't know which MBP you have so start by establishing what ports you have on the MBP that you can connect an external drive to. It'll have USB ports, but if they're USB 2.0, a full, bootable backup could take a very long time. If it's USB 3.0, backups can go a lot quicker. The USB external HD's are common and relatively inexpensive. If you have a Thunderbolt port, that's very fast but the externals compatible with it tend to be more expensive.
If it's just USB 2.0 and Firewire, Firewire is faster but is being phased out. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 3.0 so when you upgrade to a newer MBP, a USB 3.0 external can plug right in.
Also, unless the external must be really portable, look for one that has a separate power source rather than drawing power from the connection to the Mac, since some externals need more power than the Mac is able or willing to supply. -
my macbook pro is slowing down!i was looking for drive cleaning applications bau i couldn't decide which one is more useful!
There are NO applications that will make your MBP run faster. At best they will have no effect, at worst they will create more problems.
Start with this comprehensive trouble shooting document.

Pay particular attention to the Hard Drive and third party applications.

Macbook Pro + Dual 2.0 G5 -- what's the best setup?
I just purchased a new macbook pro, and was considering incorporating it into my home studio setup which uses a Dual 2.0 (Power PC) G5. I've been hunting around for an answer to how to make the most of these two computers, and I'm getting pretty confused!
I run mostly EWQL Symphonic Orchestra plugs, and would love to get faster performance, and more mileage out of them. I also use two monitors on the G5, and don't want to sacrifice the screen real estate and do everything on my 15" MB pro screen.
So, what I'm wondering, is this: Is there a way to spread out the processing power of these two computers using EWQL SO, and still use my two G5 monitors (and the MB pro monitor)?
Thank you for your expertise!
--DaveSeveral possibilities.
#1. The Mac Book Pro is likely more powerful in the CPU department, so you could load Logic on there along with your plug-ins. Then use the G5 as a replacement for a hardware synth (as an AU/VST host). It will work basically like a Muse Receptor. http://www.museresearch.com/
#2. If you need the PCI slots for DSP cards and/or you prefer to mix the project on the G5, use the laptop as a replacement for a hardware synth. Install an AU and/or VST host application on laptop.
Option 1 and 2 will require that both machines have a MIDI interface and compatible audio I/O. You would basically run MIDI out from the main machine to MIDI In on the AU/VST Host machine, and run audio back to the machine running Logic. RAX2 hosts AUs, http://plasq.com/rax
Steinberg's V-Stack hosts VSTs, http://www.steinberg.net/29_1.html
3. Keep an eye out for a Mac version of FX-Teleport which basically does what Apple's node technology does, but will work with 3rd party plug-ins. Right now I know it works on PC with VSTs. Hopefully their Mac version is coming soon and opens the door for Logic. http://www.fx-max.com/fxt/ -
I have a macbook pro with retina (late 2012) what is the best monitor for work?
I would like to purchase a monitor to connect to my laptop with good resolution that will be better for my eyes. Do you think that I will expirience problems If I get a 4K monitor and Ill run it with full resolution @30hz? i do not use any videos in my work or gaming. I am a commercial real estate broker. Just internet use and exel. Thank you in advance
A Dell ultra Sharp would be a good buy. Depending on what size you want:

Otherwise, if you don't mind spending the money, and not worried about not using the monitor to its fullest this BENQ is an excellent monitor

I have been asked to set up an Icloud account by Apple.
How will having another icloud email benefit me. I have my work email which is all i require, but had to set up a @me account to get email on my Macbook.
I have a Mac computer that i upgraded to Mountain lion, a macbook pro and an iPhone 4s which has the latest software. all i want is simplicity and to have one email account which which will not duplicate everything 4 or 5 times.
My notes are duplicated, i have to delete my emails individually on all devices so whenever i put my phone on, all the emails i have deleted at work re-appear on my phone and again the same thing happens on my Macbook pro. I seem to spend all my time deleting emails 3 times.
Is there something simple in the set up of these that i am missing?

hi guys, trying to transfer my itunes from my old netbook to my macbook pro via ethernet. where can i find the old pc network address?
I can't see any reason that you would need it... Just let it create it's own connection.

I want to airplay from macbook pro to apple tv. What are the possibilities? Does it allow me to play movies or videos I access through the browser as well?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Only content in your iTunes library can currently be sent via AirPlay from your mac. -
is it possible to access my TimeCapsule from outside my local network via internet? If so what is the best app that can help me?
iCloud can do it..
http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
You need Lion and latest firmware on the TC..
Were you hoping to use the ipad/iphone?? That maybe possible but I am not sure how.
You cannot use windows without opening SMB to some strange port and this is going to mess with security.. you also need a static ip address from your ISP.. most private net users do not have this.
You can do it via vpn.. you will need to buy a vpn router and bridge the TC to it.
Just google remote access time capsule.. there are a zillion posts about it. -
Maverick and Your System message
I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps (Pages, Aperture, iPhoto, Numbers & iMovie, too) in the process.
On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory message. But it's not Calendar, it's Mail that not only won't open, but when it does now, it takes the entire system out with it.
I open Safari, and it works. I open Firefox, and it works and Safari still works. I open Calendar and it works, Safari and Firefox continue to work. I open Reminders, and everything still works.
I open Aperture, and it opens Finder instead, showing the 3.5 update that was installed two days ago (and Aperture has functioned), but doesn't seem to update the app; after about 20 seconds the update disappears and I can now open Aperture and it shows I'm now opening the updated Aperture, which it didn't show before.
I click on Mail, and the cursor spins for ten minutes. The mail window finally opens, but the cursor spins and does not connect to upload new mail, and I finally Force Quit Mail. Since the Maverick update, even though Mail was not updated (and maybe because Mail was not updated), I have been able to receive emails twice, and then the program crashed.
Besides the Aperture app, Pages didn't fully update on the iMac, and I had to remove the old Pages icon from the dock after the new program loaded up from Applications.
Any ideas?Maverick and Your System message

what do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the mac's thunderbolt port to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks
Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
High regards to everybody -

have a macbook, and i want to replace a processor and convert in macbook pro isthat possible , and wich processor is the best for my computer
If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.
Maybe you are looking for
