IPod video 5G and iTouch and MacBook Pro

I have been having trouble syncing my iPod 5G to my MacBook Pro. This all began about the time of the latest software update and adding an iTouch to my account. The problem is when I plug in my iPod 5G iTunes does not recognize the iPod. I've tried everything I can think of save deleting everything on the iPod and starting over. If someone can help me I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

You posted in the iMac forum. Even though the issue could be the same on either Mac, you might try the MBP forum for better help.

IPod Video 5G Not recognized on MacBook Pro 17 Intel

My Ipod video 5G is not showing in iTunes or on my desktop. Not showing in System Profiler either. The ipod does charge however. I'm frustrated and stumped. I've tried the 5Rs a number of times but can't even get to the "Restore" portion. iPod works fine when not connected to my MacBook Pro. I also have a Nano and a 3G ipod (firewire) that both work fine and are recognized and update without a problem.
Anyone have an answer to getting the iPod video recognized....? Apple?

How do I sun all my messaging from phone, iPad mini, and macbook pro?

How do I sun all my messaging from phone, iPad mini and MacBook Pro? I want to be able to see all my messages from any device? Thank you for the help in advance.

I have an ipod, ipad and macbook pro. When I add anything to my calendar it always comes up twice, and always reminds me twice on all of my appliances. Its probably really simple but how do I rectify this?

Hi there. Can anyone help? I have an iphone, ipad and macbook pro. Whenever I add anything to my calender it always puts itself in twice and always reminds me of everything twice on each of my appliances. I'm sure it just a matter of ticking or unticking boxes but I can't seem to get the right ones.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

Hello DarlinDodson,
I'd recommend taking a look through the following article that can help get your MacBook working with your TV again.

When I turn on a video the screen on my MacBook Pro freezes. I've been through Apple Care and they couldn't fix the computer. I think the fan and the graphics are the problems

When I turn on a video the screen on my MacBook Pro freezes. I've been through Apple Care and they couldn't fix the computer. I think the fan and the graphics are the problems. I can restart after two attempts. Sometimes I use SAFEBOOT

Please advise the model MBP you have and the OSX you have installed.
Also try a SMC reset:

Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

The new Macbooks and MacBook Pros - Firewire being phased out?

Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
With the latest release of MacBooks and MacBook Pros, does it seem to anyone else that Firewire is being phased out? Even the new iPod Touch's cannot be charged via a Firewire cable.
(The first iPod Touch has a Firewire/ USB compatible dock).
I am somewhat baffled as a year ago Firewire was all the rage for Video Editing. It had a better reputation for sustained transfer of data and not dropping frames.
(Critical with video editing).
Also - the several miniDV cameras I've owned, including my current model, all transfer their data into a computer via a Firewire port.
I have three External Drives at the moment (mostly for Video Editing) and all work with either Firewire 400 or 800 (or both). None have a USB 2.0 port.
The new MacBooks don't even have a Firewire port.
The new 15" MacBook Pro has only a port for Firewire 800.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
Should I begin shifting my external drives to USB 2.0 connectivity?
Even though USB 2.0's reputation for transferring Video is not very good?
- Ross

When importing video from FireWire-based camcorders, the video is sent in real time to the computer, which is why FireWire is necessary. That's because FireWire-based devices use tape to record video (DV or HDV), which cannot be accessed in the same way as memory cards or hard drives (the camcorder can't rewind during capture).
With USB-based camcorders, this is no longer an issue, as the video is stored and transferred as a file, rather than a real-time stream.
Also - the several miniDV cameras I've owned, including my current model, all transfer their data into a computer via a Firewire port.
FireWire-based camcorders won't work with the new MacBooks (you won't be able to import your video without using another computer).
The new 15" MacBook Pro has only a port for Firewire 800.
And an ExpressCard slot, which can be used to add additional FireWire or eSATA ports if necessary.

Can I connect my iPad and MacBook Pro both via an iPhone hotspot?

First, a little background. I have an aging MacBook Pro (~5 years old), and my netbook was smashed on the way to work last night. My cell phone (not an iPhone) crapped out a few weeks ago.
So my first priority is to replace my netbook with an iPad. When I can afford it, I also want to upgrade to a new MacBook Pro. I've also been thinking of getting an iPhone.
One thing that always confuses me is Internet connections. I currently connect my MacBook Pro to the Internet via Verizon and use T-Mobile for my cell phone.
I was surprised when an Apple salesman told me the iPhone has a "hotspot" that I can use to connect both an iPad and MacBook Pro to the Internet. But an Apple salesman at another store told me the hotspot will connect the iPad.
Can anyone offer some details? I've been browsing some of the other threads, but I still don't really understand what a hotspot is. Am I correct in understanding that as long as I have an iPhone with me, I can use it to connect my iPad to the Internet? Can I similarly use it to connect a MacBook Pro (either my 4-year-old+ model or a new model)?
What kind of connection speed does a hotspot offer? I do a lot of websurfing and web design. Would a hotspot connection be about as fast as my current connection via Verizon?
Also, is the hotspot feature available with either AT&T or Verizon?
Thanks.

Your hotspot will be billed by AT&T or Verizon based on your iPhone's model. Only the iPhone 4 from Verizon would allow a Verizon hotspot. Others have posted information revealing that the Verizon 3G connection is somewhat slower than the AT&T service. Also, the Verizon service suspends the use of hotspot when you take a phone call. The AT&T service continues during calling.
Selecting the hotspot feature under General> Settings> Personal Hotspot will change your data plan from your previous 250MB, 2GB, or unlimited amount to a new 4GB plan that includes tethering. AT&T charges me $45 instead of my Unlimited, but No Tethering Allowed, $30.
You can connect three devices that have WiFi. Verizon hotspots can connect five. Your speed should be about the same as the iPhone 4 browsing speed on 3G. If your phone is on WiFi, the devices need to connect separately to that WiFi, not to your hotspot. I would love to see a software update that allows my WiFi connection to be shared, so I don't have to manually connect the iPods that my boys use one at a time.

Final cut studio 2 and macbook pro 17?

I'm anxious to purchase Final Cut Studio 2, and a new MacBook Pro 17" laptop. Is FCS2 and this laptop 100% compatible? Will I be able to install and run FCS2 on this laptop successfully?
Laptop specs:
MacBook Pro 17" Notebook 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, TI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor, dual -ink DVI support, 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, external 500G hard drive for video storage (firewire 800).
MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Well those that have tried running FCS 2 on a 17" laptop can't talk. It's not released yet...
However there is no reason why it shouldn't work well. Add an Io HD to the mix, and you'll edit HD on it all day long... we were showing this in the AJA booth at NAB a couple of weeks ago. Apple was running it too on laptops in their booth...
Figure it should be fine. With the advent of Pro Res, there's little you couldn't edit on a MBP... however there are some things you'll not be editing with it, such as 2 k files, or uncompressed HD. Pro res takes care of that though. It's really visually lossless.

Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro

Does the Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro work in cars to in the cigerete lighter and how does it work on a airoplane cause in airoplanes there is only a mike connection thats about it ?

This is an alternative solution that works great for me. I always carry a small and lightweight DC to AC converter with me in my case when I'm on the road. It's a Wagan Tech Smart AC 100 USB that I picked up at Costco for under 20 bucks. 100 watt capability and allows me to use all my electronics and chargers on the road. I can use it to charge the cellphone, laptop, ipod, etc.
Even includes a USB port on the side for charging USB based products and also includes the aircraft adaptor (and of course a cigarette lighter adaptor) and everything fits into a small cloth bag (included).
http://www.wagan.com/htmls/detail-2382.html
The link is for the newer 120 watt version but it looks identical otherwise. If you don't have access to Costco then check the link provided for either direct purchase or the availability of other resellers. There's a "where to buy" tab at the top of the screen. Cheers!
P.S. I just noticed that you are from the U.K. I'm sure this will still work as your MacBook charger should autoswitch down to 110v input, you'll just need to make sure you have the North American plug installed. If not, I'm sure there are similiar DC to AC adaptors available in the U.K. Hope that helps!

Internal Differences between MacBook and MacBook Pro?

I was wondering if anyone has concrete information on whether on not the un-coustomizable, internal workings of the MacBook and MacBook Pro are different, such as the motherboard, logic board, other interfaces, etc.
I have been talking with Apple reps and none have been able to give me a deffinate answer or written proof. Does anyone have info. supporting or refuting the statement that MacBooks and MacBook Pros are condigured/maunfactured with the same parts, aside from the Video Card?
Thanks

They are not the same; the disassembley pictures for both are here so you can compare for yourself
