Is it possible to burn an audio CD on a MacBook Pro using iTunes?

I found two sets of instructions for doing this. One from Apple itself and another from Wikihow.com.
I followed the instruction from each of these with 3 different setups: an older MacMini running OS 10.4.~, a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8, and my new MacMini running Mountain Lion.
Apple tells me to go to the Preferences panel for iTunes and then select the "Advanced/Burning" tab. There is no such tab and there is nothing about burning under the "Advanced" tab on any of them. Wikihow tells me to click the "Burn Disc" button in the bottom corner of the iTunes window. There is no such button anywhere in the iTunes window with any of these setups. ***?? Are these instructions dating back to OS9???
With my MBPro, I am able to do a simple burn that creates an ROM version but I am wanting to create an audio CD that will play on standard CD players. Is that too much to ask? The old MacMini has an internal CD drive, the new one does not nor have I felt the need to buy an external one for it.
Added note: Sound quality is not a high priority as the CD's I am wanting to burn will all be of lecture type material.

Hi,
Create a play list that you wish to burn. Select playlist, the file from main menu which gives to an option to burn the playlist. A pop up box appears allowing you to select burn speed and disc format.

Strange audio problem with my MacBook Pro

Hello everyone,
first of all I should say that this is not the well known "no-audio-from-internal-speakers-and-red-light-burning-on-microphone-jack" audio issue on many MacBook Pros. However, I still hope some of you experts can help me.
Here's what happens. At some point of the last few days, I realized I was not getting any sound from my Mac's internal speakers except the typical boot sound on startup. Then I opened the System Preferences/Sound window and saw that I have only one output option: "Headphones - Headphone port". No internal speakers at all. This doesn't mean I can use my headphones at all... When I connect them to the computer with my System Preferences still open, then the option "Headphones" change automatically to "Digital out" and no sound comes out of them. If I take them out, then I can see the red light for about half a second, then it's off. Ironically, I still can hear some sound (even perfect audio) out of my headphones when I don't put them completely into the jack but at some very unstable point at about 90% of the connector's size.
I can use the function keys F10-F12 to mute or turn up and down the sound... Everything seems to work - still no sound comes out. I thought of course of a hardware problem but I can hear the mac startup din-dong effect like always and I even let the AHT run with no negative results. I also tried repairing the hard disk permissions, as I read somewhere, with the Disk Utility. Still no results.
Anyone to give me a clue what's happening on my Mac? I bought it about 2 months ago, and the software is up-to-date (Mac OS X 10.6.6).
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Luis

Hi friends
I too have a macbook pro running 10.6.6 and an odd audio problem which has recently shown itself and although different to Luiscv's problem, may well be related.
My audio works fine through the built in speakers but gets all fruity with some but not all audio as soon as I plug in the headphones. I get crystal clear audio when playing mp3's through quicktime whether I have the headphones plugged in or not.
youtube flash movies through Safari and VLC .mkv files are problematic. I do get audio but the stereo sound somehow gets split so the dialogue gets very quiet and fuzzy and the musical soundtrack gets louder.
If this is a codec/decompression issue why does the sound come good when I unplug the headphones? Why are some files totally fine with both headphones and internal speakers?
I have updated perian, zapped p-ram, repaired permissions all to no avail.
Thanks in advance to anyone able to solve this one.
Best wishes,
Wayne Batistic

Trying to connect a Belkin brand audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV. Cannot get any sound from the laptop out of the TV. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to connect a Belkin brand stereo audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV (Apple "genius" handed me the cable to purchase.) I have tried all the ports in the back of the Sony, and tried the volume on both the cable and TV remotes. I cannot get sound out of the Sony from my MacBook Pro laptop. What am I doing wrong???

Downloaded your operating manual. It appears that you need to connect the HDMI to HDMI 1 and the audio to the input socket just to the right of the VGA socket (i.e., between the VGA and the RF input connection). The picture on page13 seems to be the clearest I could find:
Although it's not exactly clear I think they are talking about a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo jack for the audio inpu as opposed to the more common RCA jacks used in the row just above that VGA input socket.
I haven't checked the manual as yet whether you need to set anything special with the controls other than input select.
Note, if that truly is a 3.5 mm stereo jack cables are very common. In your case it would just be a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on each end.
Update:
You will have to experiment with this but I think you will need to try pusing the input button to select either HDMI1 or PC (or Component?). The manual is not clear on this (page 31). Sometimes it just comes down to pushing buttons.

Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?

Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?
E.g. Dell allows you to plug the laptop into AC power but prevent battery charging.
Note: I do not want to physically remove the battery.
If there isn't an option on Mac OS, is there anything I can download to bypass the battery when I want?

Thanks for linking me! Wow I had no idea the clock speed would be cut so severely! What a bunch of rubbish, as if the AC won't provide enough power!
I guess the only solution to my question would be an app which virtually disconnects the battery but tricks the mac into thinking the battery is still connected. I'm just surprised Apple haven't yet started to build prisons for the government - considering how well they lock up their software and hardware!

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

whats a green drive? thnks
Green is a marketing term for a drive designed for lower power use, lower noise, and lower heat. The side effect is that it's not as fast. Black drives are designed for highest performance, so they might use more power and run hotter and noisier. I upgraded my Apple Time Capsule with a green drive, but I put a black drive in my Mac Pro.

7200 RPM drives are faster than 5400 RPM drives.
As in cars, RPM is not the sole determinant of performance. In some cases, a newer drive at a lower RPM is faster than an older drive at a higher RPM, when the newer drive uses better technology. I have heard that some of today's high-capacity 5400RPM drives are faster than 7200RPM drives of lower capacity simply because the very high density of a 1TB drive means more data passes under the head even at a lower RPM. Certainly there have been times in Apple's past when new lower RPM drives were faster than higher RPM drives of the previous generation, a notable example being when 4200RPM perpendicular recording drives were introduced and beat 5400RPM drives.
Yes, generally RPM can be used to compare, but it is important to realize it isn't always true.

iTunes is part of OS X, which implies that iTunes was deleted, or that your OS X installation is corrupt. In either case, the easiest approach usually involves downloading the combo update for OS X — the so-called combo update, and not the delta update — and installing that.
Applying or re-applying the OS X combo update won't alter your user files, but will reload all recent OS X changes, and should also cause iTunes to be re-loaded.
If you are running Mavericks 10.9, then download and install the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 combo update.
You'll want to have a backup of your system — updates don't fail often, but they can fail. If you don't have Time Machine or some other form of backups running, get that going first; before further changes here.

Is it possible to have 2 mail programmes on my macbook pro? one for business related emails and one personal. I dont want all the emails in one mail programme!

Is it possible to have 2 mail programmes on my macbook pro? one for business related emails and one personal. I dont want all the emails in one mail programme. At the moment i have 2 personal email address being sent to my mail but because of receiving huge numbers of work emails it would be good to keep them seperate, what is the best way of doing this?

if i use the one mail programme can it separate the incoming mail from the different email accounts into 2 folders without me having to do it manually?
Yes, you can. Nearly all email software can do this. It involves creating two folders and a Rule for each folder.
Maybe call one folder Personal Mail, the other Work Mail (Apple Mail calls folders Mailboxes). One Rule would route all mail from your personal email account into the Personal Mail folder; the other Rule would route all mail from your work email account into the Work Mail folder. It's actually easy to do, all you have to do is click a few things and the rule is set up. Once the Rule is written you can also apply it to existing messages already downloaded to your Mac.
In Apple Mail, Rules are under Preferences > Rules. Follow the prompts to create a rule like this:
If = Any
Account = my Personal account (select the name of your personal email account)
Perform the following actions: Move Message to Mailbox = my Personal Mail (select the name of your Personal Mail folder (aka mailbox))
This rule says, "take any message that comes in from my Personal Account and move it to my Personal Mail mailbox (folder)"
Create a similar rule for your Work email.

Hello! Does anyone knows if its possible to change a US keyboard of a macbook pro for a portuguese keyboard. And how much it is approximatedlly. Thanks

Hello! Does anyone knows if its possible to change a US keyboard of a macbook pro for a portuguese keyboard. And how much it is approximatedlly. Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You will have to return the Mac and order one with a Portuguese keyboard, if you bought it less than 14 days ago.
If not, you will have to buy a new Mac (that's because some keys may not fit onto your MacBook Pro keyboard) or just set up OS X with a Portuguese keyboard but with US keys

Is it possible to change the Apple ID for my macbook pro?

Is it possible to change the Apple ID for my macbook pro? My laptop is currently registered under my husband`s ID, and I would like to change it to my apple ID so I can install changes / updates (as we are now separated). Would appreciate any help.

In your post you have indicated that the MBP has Snow Leopard (10.6.8) installed. You will have to use the original OSX disk and slide it into the DVD drive on startup holding the C key. Then you follow the instructions on the display.
Worst case is to take it to an Apple store and have them assist you in the installation process.
Ciao.

Photo Booth Help! My photo booth screen is very very dark. I thought it was the screen but its at the brightest it can possibly be! So I grabbed my mothers MacBook Pro and It's much lighter and more clear. I have just the regular macbook. Please Help.

My photo booth screen is very very dark. I thought it was the screen but its at the brightest it can possibly be! So I grabbed my mothers MacBook Pro and It's much lighter and more clear. I have just the regular macbook. I also used the my camera on tumblr and it came up like my mothers. So could it just be photo booth? I also have no idea how to find out which operating system is downloaded. This is preowned.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
