Is it possible to use a new battery for a MBP 15" in a MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008) ?
i have an old MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008) and my battery is as close to dead as it can be. I was wondering if I could replace it for a new battery that works for the latest models.

Thanks,
I was looking at the ones you can get online http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA348LL/A Do you know if one like this would work?
No, that's a 60 watt. You need an 85 watt.

Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you? If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose. -
What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch, early 2011 model to an external projector so the project displays the image on the computer screen?
You will need a cable or adapter with a minidisplay connection for the MBP. That will be inserted in the Thunderbolt port. The other end is dependent upon the connections of the projector which you have not listed.

I own a MacBook Pro 15-inch early 2011 and I want to upgrade the ram to 16 or 8gb is it ok to use a corsair brand memory?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. Corsair RAM is compatible with your Mac and the Early 2011 MacBook Pro supports 16 GB of memory. Make sure you buy the correct memory for your MacBook Pro. See > http://www.corsair.com/us/memory-by-product-family/mac-memory-upgrades.html -
Hi there.
I wanted to buy a time capsule - But my big question is : Is it possible to use the time capsule with Apple Tv ( Newest generation.) without having an Iphone, Ipad or mac as middlelink?
So if I example want to have all our music and dvds on the Time Capsule and watch/hear it on my TV. Do I have to have one of our macbook pro's started up to get it to work?
Hope you understand what I'm trying to say here.. ? Hehe.
Best Regards
ChristianBut then I can have all dvds and music on a time capsule and then run it via itunes on my mac and from there to the apple tv
Yes, if you move the iTunes Media Folder to the Time Capsule.
But.....if you move the iTune Media Folder to the Time Capsule.....how are you planning to back up this important data?
(You will lose everything in the Media Folder when.....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem and you do not have a backup copy.)
A much safer plan would be to keep the iTunes Media Folder on your Mac.....or add another hard drive connected to the Mac and move the Media Folder to that drive.
Then Time Machine will backup both your Mac and and hard drive. So, you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another. -
I am unable to use an external microphone on my MacBook Pro (17-inch Late 2008)
I have a dilemma. I wanted to use Skype on my MacBook Pro as I have before (successfully) but I have a new headset so I decided to plug it in and use it. I plugged the green headphone jack into the headphone jack on the side of the computer and did likewise with the pink microphone jack into the mic/line-in hole.
Skype seemed to work but I realized the audio output was coming through the headphone but the audio input was coming from the internal mic on the computer. I went into Settings and found the sound control. I tried to change from internal mic to external line in, which you can do, but there is no audio input at all then. Switch back to internal mic and all is well again.
The headset is new and works fine on my DELL so I know the issue is in the MacBook. If I open the sound conteol and unplug the headphone from the jack the computer knows and changes the settings right in front of me from headphones to internal speakers... as it should. The same does not happen for the microphone. Nothing seems to happen with the external line in port.
I have run out of ideas. Is there something I am missing here? All I want to do is use the mic on the headset instead of on the laptop. Seems simple enough.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Ideas??
JimA USB mic would be the best bet. Blue make some outstanding USB mics. I would just return the one that you've purchased and buy a Blue USB mic.

HT3053 How to remove or install the battery in MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011):
My 2011 Macbook Pro needs the battery Serviced, I know that means replaced, what can I expect to pay for this service?
Whether the battery is OK after 2 year of Non Use is anyones guess. More then likely yes but really Who Knows unit it is taken out of the box and turned on.
As to your other questions that is really up to you.
Good Luck & Best Wishes. -
How can I get from what I have ti what I want. I am a new Apple user and appreciate detailed instructions. Thank You
The TC is not able to be partitioned. (Well not without pulling it apart.)
You can create a disk image on it.
See details under Q3 here.

It might be better to do as Pondini suggests and plug in a USB drive to use for alternative data storage.. Mixing TM and data can lead to issues. -
How to kill AMCMenu process which uses my whole ram for mac os 10.8.5 macbook pro?
whenever i kill AMCMenu through activity monitor it starts again and uses my ram. i have restarted my computer many times .please help .
here the link to AMCMenu process sample : http://forums.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=438583&d=1380955778This is a temporary solution --
Step 1: From Activity Monitor, determine the process id (column PID) for AMCMenu - e.g. 100.
Step 2: Open a terminal window and type the following runes:
sudo kill -stop <value of PID from Step 1>
e.g. sudo kill -stop 100
It will ask for your password - type it fearlessly.
you are done......
To release it into the wild again:
Either:
sudo kill -cont <value of PID from Step 1>
e.g. sudo kill -cont 100
Or:
it will be started automatically when you restart your Mac.

Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7
Broadly speaking I want some sort of network storage( wireless or through my existing wifi router) that I can access files for both my windows PC and Macbook and also to access files to my iPad/ iPhone. Some sort of backup and sychronisation so that I can access certain files remotely.
Buy a real NAS.. synology or QNAP are the standard... although companies like Netgear and Western Digital and Seagate make them as well.
There is no problem sharing between Mac and PC now.. you do not even need a NAS to do that.. you simply share the hard disk directly. Mac talk SMB.. everything talks SMB nowadays.. so it is easy.
ipad and iphone are not designed to use NAS.. they are designed to backup only to the cloud or itunes.. but you can load an app like file browser if you want.
http://www.stratospherix.com/products/filebrowser/
Remote access to the Apple TC is somewhere between difficult, to impossible from a PC.. Apple use BTMM and iCloud but the service is not offered to PC.
A real NAS will offer HTTPS or SFTP or several other methods.. that both Mac and PC can use.
You simply plug it into the current wireless router.. it is a network device and assessable over the network. It is not necessary to buy another router.. in fact that is a waste. -
s it possible to use a new iMAC 2011 (with thunderbolt port) as a passive screen with a Macbook (MacBook5,1 - End 2008) ?
No, you would need to upgrade the MacBook to a 2011 MacBook Pro that also has Thunderbolt.

I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection and remove all the other stuff?
Very easily. I have an iPod touch and iPad on the same account with totally different content.
If you use iTunes, connect each iPad to your computer and open iTunes and deselect any automatic updating/syncing. If you don't sync with iTunes but have them set up independently, under the settings, App Store, turn off automatic downloads for apps, etc.
I'm old fashioned, I set up and sync my iPad and iPod to my computer and iTunes. Each device has a different name and I manage content manually and only allow sharing on what I want shared. -
I live in Ireland. How can I buy a new battery for my N500?
I need to buy a new battery for my Lenovo 3000 N500. However, in the Ireland section of the Lenovo web site NONE of the dealers have this part in stock. It is in stock on the US and UK sections of the web site, but apparently only people in those countries can buy it on line. I would be prepared to buy it online from the US or the UK and pay the shipping charges to Ireland. In more than 13 years on the web, Lenovo is the first company I've encountered where I haven't been able to use my credit card to purchase an item from the US or the UK. I do this all the time with companies like Land's End, Amazon, James Meade etc etc.
Fine, if I'm not allowed buy from the US and the UK. But at least,then, make sure I have some other way of buying the part - either on line or from a store.According to Apple:
iPod Owners
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $49 (iPod shuffle), $59 (iPod nano and iPod classic), and $79 (iPod touch) plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

Where can I buy new battery for PowerBook G3?
My PowerBook G3 is still in good shape, but the battery is dead. I have to have it plugged in order to use it. Where can I buy a new battery for a G3? Is it still on sale somewhere? Thanks for your input!
Here's another source http://www.battdepot.com/catalog/notebook+battery/apple.aspx
What model G3 PowerBook do you have? You need to add this info & your OS to your profile.

I need a new battery for my AT&T Carrier, Apple I 5 phone, need to come in 6:30 tonite. Thanks. My cell phone dead. SO please write me back to confirm.
<Personal Information Edited by Host>No, maybe you should get one but the reset of us can figure out how to use the internet and complex things like Google.
What makes you think you need a new battery anyway? It should not be bad on an iPhone 5 and besides which Apple uses batteries from the same manufacturer that other makers do.
And stop shouting at us you are acting like a spoiled child.
