Is it possible to output at 50Hz to a TV from my Macbook Pro? Under display setting my minimum option is 60Hz.
I am trying to connect my Macbook Pro to an old analog TV. I have a digital to analog signal converter and am sending signal via VGA to a composit video cable, everything seems to work fine. The TV is detected by the laptop, I can see the picture flickering (although the background photo is visible), so I believe eveything is working apart from the TV is 50Hz, and under display settings the minimum I can select is 60Hz. Is it possible to output at 50Hz from my Macbook and if so, how?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this issue!
Does anybody know a solution to this.

Is it possble to use this via the 'internet share' option so that the iPad can connect to the 3G wireless via the Macbook Pro?
Yes. Just use internet sharing on your MacBook Pro.

Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?
The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next... Check that your Mac meets the Requirements for Mountain Lion.
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...

You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display portS?
Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display port? Or is there another way?
The problem with itunes is needing a computer running it. or continuous internet connection.
A Time Capsule is AC mains powered.. no battery. Although you can certainly buy an older Gen4 TC and modify it ...
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/time-capsule-power-supply-repair-kits
I have run my TC on a 12V SLA battery.. which would neatly meet that part of the functionality you want. But it is heavy and not really the rugged sort of device I think you want.
But I would look at other media players and other ways of storing movies than iTunes.. if you want to carry the whole lot around with you .. A bunch of SD cards even you could plug into the ipad??
External storage for iPad?
A small cheap PC/Mac laptop with a 1TB hard disk in it.. and 11" or 13" screen.. can often be a much better solution than lugging around multiple items so you can fit Apple devices into your life. -
Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone 5 without itunes or an internet connection? I'm a pro photographer and I need to transfer photos from my camera, edit them, copy photos to my iphone and send via 4G network to an editor. I will be in a location without internet access and my old computer itunes wont sync with my new iphone 5. I can't upgrade the computer right now because I need some of the old software. Thanks.
Some decent suggestions for apps to do this in this thread:

You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

I have an iPod touch that I often use to manage different events for work. I have been able to sync the events on my calendar from my MacBook Pro to the iPod touch successfully using wifi. What I really need to do though is sync my iPod calendar events to my MacBook Pro calendar. Is this possible? How do I set this up? It would be a huge help if I could transfer the events on my iPod calendar to my computers calendar. I currently have the wifi sync option on and have turned on the sync calendars option in iTunes. Thank you for your help!
For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3:
If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:
if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
Choose Reset Sync Services.
Click Reset Sync History.
Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
Open Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Press Return.
Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $). -
When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only
If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck. Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch. If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside. If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.

Getting 2650x1600 output from my MacBook Pro?
I've got a brand-new MacBook Pro 15-incher with the nVidia GT 330m card. I've also got a brand-new 30-inch HP ZR30w monitor with *native res. of 2560x1600*. My problem is that when I hook up the MacBook Pro to the monitor's DVI input, I can only get *1280x800 max resolution!* I have tried downloading SwitchResX, but it too only lists a 1280x800 max resolution for the ZR30w.
The monitor dutifully operates at 2560x1600 when hooked up to my PC, so I know it can do the job. I also can get 1080p output from the MacBook Pro on my TV.
So, how to I get the MacBook Pro to do what I bought it for? Very frustrating to be stuck at such a low resolution. THANKS IN ADVANCE!I have a Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP 30" and I'm thinking about getting a Macbook Pro and this was on my mind since Ive read the specs on nVidia GT 330m card on the new Macbook Pro i3/5/7 series. So this is great to hear, what a relief plus this will be my first Mac so I don't know what to expect. I hear they will be new Macbook Pro's 1Q of 2011 with Facetime etc...can anyone confirm that? I'm on the fence right now if to get one or wait. I'm assuming the new Macbook Air would do the same since it has the same Video Card.
The new Dell UltraSharp U3011 30" has a display port for connectivity and wondering if one can juss connect to a Macbook Pro directly...mini display port / display port same thing?
@ArthurPJohnson ... once you go 2560 x 1600 there's no way one can ever go back to a lesser resolution LoL! -
I saved photos from my Macbook Pro and sold it. Now I want to access those pictures from the Macbook Pro on my desktop Mac. Is this possible?
That would depend on where you saved the photos. I assume they are on an external drive or a cd(s) or DVD or USB drive. Hook whatever device they are on to the desktop Mac, open iPhoto and do an Import to Library from the File menu.

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
If you can help, please tell me,
Thankyou.No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
Good luck - write back with any questions.

Is it yet possible to upgrade the internal hard drive on a 13" Macbook Pro with Retina Display?
Hi all,
I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, a 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory and a 128GB built in flash storage drive.
I do a lot of video and sound work requiring a lot of space however 128GB is just not enough. When purchasing the MacBook I was hopeful that the built in drive could possibly be upgraded to at least 512GB of storage. I have read many blogs and forums suggesting that there is work being made on a replaceable drive however I have not seen any evidence of this being confirmed. Could someone possibly let me know if this is yet possible as I would urgently like to upgrade if so.
Many thanks
