Is incredible , i can repair my mac book pro for the graphic schedule
I can't believe , is impossible to repair my mac book pro sn W87100M2W0L, BECOUSE IS VINTAGE AFTER 5 yers, hope the Apple give me a solution, i'm worry, and if isn't possible to repair i close with Appke and all the products who i have, sorry for my english.
You don't provide much to go on, however, it sounds like you have a video issue with your MBP and Apple has told you it can't repair it, due to it's age? If that's the case, used logic boards are available for purchase, and an Apple Authrorized Service Provider should be able to install it for you.

Do you suggest a mac book air or a mac book pro for the college? bound student?
I'm going to be freshman in college in august and my HP lameness just died, and i want to buy a mac cause i love my moms. i went into the apple store thinking of going for the Air because im going to be commuting on my bike to class and the air is just so portable its hard to resist. I need a reliable model that i can do my itunes on, write papers, possible occasional powerpoint presentations, and a strong battery would be nice. The rep at the store told me within 5 minutes of explaining my situation that i should go with the pro. then told me all about this lightning bolt thing he was all pumped about, it didnt mean anything to me really. im not going to be downloading crazy amounts of data.
---so the two are close in price and i just wanted some input. anything would be great thanks.First off, you need to wait and see, because there seems a likelihood of new Airs arriving. if they do arrive soon, there is a likelihood that they will have Thunderbolt, which blows the rep's recommendation right out of the water if Thunderbolt was the only reason he had for recommending Pro over Air.
Second, I disagree with both the rep and Allen. The 13" Air gives you up to 10 hours of battery life, that's more than any of the Pros, while the 11" gets up to 5 sometimes 6 hours which is nearly as much as a Pro. Both Airs come with SSD so riding on your bike won't cause any problem (you know how you're always told to wait till the disk stops spinning on laptops before packing them up? No spinning Disk with SSD. Much better for bike travel). Certainly if I were going to school with a pack on my back I'd want the lightest, slimmest machine I could get and that's the Air. More room for books, less weight on the shoulders or tossing you off balance around corners, etc.
Last, for what you're doing, I don't see any reason why the Air can't suit your needs. The only reason for wanting a Pro instead is:
(1) If you need a CD/DVD drive
(2) If you have a lot of movies/games and so need a large hard drive. How many gigs of disk space have you filled up? Music, photos, documents now take up very little--people forget that. It's movies and games and certain programs that still hog disk space. If all you've got comes to half-to-two-thirds of the Air's total hard drive (whichever one you're going for), you'll be fine.
(3) If you're planning on going into a field, or studying in a field that requires a powerful computer with a large hard drive.
Otherwise, you don't need a Pro. You may not even need a 13" depending on how many gigs of hard drive you require--but don't go for the 11" until you've check it and the 13" both out in a store. Some people don't like the small screen.
Don't let anyone scare you into buying bigger machine than you need. With clouds, internet mail, and external disk drives, a large hard drive is becoming much less important. And the power of the latest Airs is more than equal to doing all you say you want to do on them unless, as said, you are going into certain fields that require laptop powerhouses. The only real drawback is that you can't upgrade, so don't skimp on what you buy. That would, IMHO, be the only reason to pick Pro over Air given your needs--that if you want to upgrade to more RAM or a bigger HD in two years you won't be able to with an Air, what you buy is what you have for the life of the machine. But if you get the latest and newest, that will probably be just fine for your college years given what you say you'll be doing with it.
And don't forget, you'll get a student discount. -
Hi- I keep getting an error message show up when I sync my iPhone to my Mac Book Pro. the message is that I can't copy to the Macintosh disc because I don' have enough access privileges. Then when I click ok my phone gets stuck syncing. any thoughts?
Sounds like a possible permissions issue, try repairing the permissions using Disk Utility.
You can open Disk Utility several ways.
1. Use the Spotlight in the Upper Right corner of the screen and search for it, then click it to open it.
2. Open a new finder window (File> New Window)
- Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
3. Click on the Finder
- Click 'Go' in the menu bar across the top of the screen.
- Click Utilities, then double click on Disk Utility.
Once Disk Utility is open there should be a column on the left side, the name of your hard drive should be listed there.
(By Default it is named Mac HD or Macintosh HD)
Click on it to highlight it.
There should then be a few buttons you can click
- Verify Disk Permissions
- Repair Disk Permissions
- Verify Disk
- Repair Disk
Click Repair Disk Permissions -
I have had my mac book pro for about a year and a half and suddenly my dvd player will not play DVDs and i can not play alot of things on full screen. Does anybody know how i can fix this?
This could be several things, but let's get the obvious ones out of the way, first:
1. Judging from your text, there's no problem with anything stuck in the mechanism; it's more an issue of no being to put in a disk. In other words, you're sure that there isn't a disk stuck in your MBP. (That happens a lot for all computers.)
2. Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, and repair the disk. This should take under 10 minutes.
3. Perform the procedure outlined here:

4. After you're done, leave a message here as to the status of the repair. -
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 -
I clicked on a link in an email that may be spam/phishing. How can I scan my mac book pro for viruses?
You can just download the free ClamXav and scan your entire drive - but as there are no known viruses for OS X (although there is malware - see Thomas Reed's excellent Mac Malware Guide) it's very unlikely that you have a virus.
The best source against malware is OS X itself and common sense. Don't click on links in suspicious emails and be careful of anything that wants to install something on your computer that is not from a reputable source.

Can I connect an external video camera to a mac book pro for viewing live video so I don't have to use the little screen on the camera?

• Only if your video camera supports it. Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
• Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
• If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac. For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
• The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
• If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

I am trying to upgrad the hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive. I can only get so far throughj the process where its about to start cloing when I get a message " error 254". Any idea what that means and how do I get around this issue so I can use my new hard drive? Thanks for your input.
VinceConnect the HDD to your MBP. Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field. The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on the Erase button.
Then try the clone process again. You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?
What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?
Depends. There were two version of the MBP that shipped in 2006 with different max RAM. The quickest way to see which is yours is to use System Profiler to get your Mac's "Model Identifier."
Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click "More Info..." That launches System Profler for you.
The answer is in the first screen of Profiler that comes up--"Hardware Overview." Note the second line in this example:
If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro1,X" you are limited to 2G RAM. Period.
If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro2,X" you can install two, 2G modules for an installed total of 4G RAM, but the logic board can only access 3.2G of it. That becomes your "max RAM.
Hope this helps,

i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work?
With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config. -
Where can I get an external battery that can power my Mac Book pro Retnia?
Where can I get an external battery that can power my Mac Book pro Retnia? When I get off a long fight, I have no time to recharge.
Try searching for "external battery macbook pro retina" (without quotes). You should find at least three potential answers in the first two pages.
I can't give you a specific recommendation, because I haven't (yet) tried any of them. -
How can i connect mac book pro to appel tv3
How can i connect mac book pro to appel tv3
To do what? It's not clear from the question.
If you want to play iTunes library content on the unit you need to enable Home Sharing on both, have them on the same network and then look for your iTunes library under the Computer icon - iTunes must be running of course.
Communications can be blocked by firewalls or security software sometimes.
To factory restore a black AppleTv2 or 3 you connect it to the computer running itunes with a USB to microUSB lead alone and start itunes.

Can i buy mac book pro with english keyboard from dubai?
i will visit dubai and i am planning to buy a mac book pro from there. İ wonder if i can buy this mac book pro with an English keyboard and all the manuals in English. Any help on this please?
Actually, you can - but it is special order only - they consider it as a customized unit....You might have to wait a week or two.....
You can check the Apple Store at the Mall of the Emirates and see if they have it in stock....
Or, you can go to Apple's website select UAE as the country and configure it with the US keyboard and wait for delivery...
Good luck..
