Is there a turn by turn sofware or a GPS reciever for a macbook pro?
I am interesting in upgrading my pc laptop to a macbook pro. I currently use microsoft streets and trips off my laptop to use GSP Turn by Turn navigation. Can i do this on a macbook?
I agree with the Google Map with internet connection.
Alternatively, you can consider USB GPS receiver with offline map applications. Since most of the USB GPS receiver does come with their own app (which may cause a bit more for updated maps like most of the GPS receivers on the market.)
Other than that, I recommend a real GPS receiver or iPhone/iPad.

Just like the title reads. 2011 MBP Quad Core 15". Used boot camp to instal Windows 7 Home premium but screen resolution is bad. Thank you
No. Reopen Boot Camp Assistant and click on the Continue button. You'll see in that screen a checkbox to download drivers. Check that box and uncheck the other boxes. Have a freshly formatted USB flash drive or hard drive connected. Must be partitioned MBR and formatted FAT32. You can format it while in Windows. Have it connected when you use Boot Camp Assistant. Once you click on the Continue button again BCA will attempt to download the drivers.
Once you have the drivers boot Windows. It should autorun the installer you downloaded after Windows gets itself settled in. -
I can't turn the volume up or down on my MacBook Pro?
I can't turn the volume up or down on my MacBook Pro? It shows a kind of "stop" sign? I can get the speakers to work by connecting my headphones to the computer and choosing the sound to be on the speakers, but as soon as I take the headphones out, I can't get any sound out of the speakers..
Sometimes there is a "Red" light coming out of the AUX-port?Hey vgamborg,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
This article should help you troubleshoot issues playing sound from the built-in speakers. Try the steps listed, and I quoted a part about the red light.

Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.

What is best for my macbook pro... turn off,sleep,or leave it on?
i know that u can leave it on for a couple of days nd it will b fine,but i would just like to know if its best to turn it off during the night.i dont mind that i have to wait for it to turn on,i just wanna do the best for my macbook pro.
Some of LeafsMac's points make sense.
Letting the battery completely die is not good. Always plugged in, even asleep, it can die if power is off long enough. But good planning can get around that.
Also, it does need to run on battery once a month at least, down to 40%. Then recharge back on A/C plug.
Interesting note about MBPs ... Even on charger the battery will lose slowly battery charge from 100% to 95%, then recharge to 100% all by itself. That is to exercise the battery a little bit and save "recharge circuit" usage. Nothng to worry about. -

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:

Is there are a way to use my imac as a display for my macbook pro? I have a thunderbolt cable but it doesnt seem to do anything
Hello eassic,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like Target Display Mode may be what you are looking for:
Target Display Mode lets you use a Mac as the external display for another “primary” Mac. In some cases, you can also play the sound from your primary Mac on the speakers of the external Mac. For example, a MacBook Pro could use a 27-inch iMac as the display and play its audio on the iMac as well.
OS X Mountain Lion: Use another Mac as a display
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
Use an iMac with Thunderbolt as a display
If you have an iMac with Thunderbolt, any other Mac with Thunderbolt can use it as a display. The iMac will play both the video and audio from the other Mac.
1. Connect the Thunderbolt cable to the Thunderbolt ports on each computer.
2. Make sure both Mac computers are turned on and awake.
3. Press Command (⌘)-F2 on the keyboard of the external display Mac.
4. If you want the external display Mac to play audio as well as video from the primary Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, and then click Output. Select the external display Mac from the list of devices.
Thanks,

I just bought a new iMac and now I amtrying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don’t have a MiniDisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don’t have. Isthere any way to connect this two mac’s anyway??
Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system. 10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines. Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist. There are no Firewire to USB cables. -
I bought mountain lion for my macbook pro and I'm trying to install it and it says there was an error and I need to boot up but I don't have any other start up disks to boot up with. Are there any suggestions of how I could get my computer started?
Hold the Option key down and restart. Select one of the drives that comes up and hit the Return key.

In order to use the Safari Extensions Gallery you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard v10.6

Is there a maximum RAM capacity for a Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2009?
My questions is essentially, is there a maximum RAM capacity for a Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2009? I'm aware there are two RAM slots in my machine, but in past experiences with other laptops/desktop computers (not Apple) there was a default maximum which couldn't be overidden despite how much RAM was inserted.
You can upgrade up to 8GB using 2 x 4GB 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 modules. That's the maximum (unlike 2011 and later models which Apple tells you can only hold 8GB but can actually run 16GB).
If you do order RAM, order from a Mac memory specialist - Crucial, OWC, Corsair, etc.
Good luck,

I used to have the iPhoto application and for some reason it is now gone. Do I have to pay 14.99 in order for me to be able to have it again or is there a way I can get it back. I have a MacBook pro 10.9.5 .
Depends on what you had
If you had iPhoto version 9.5.1 then you can reinstall from the app store under purchases
If you had any version of iPhoto '11 then you can install for free from the App store
If you had any earlier version of iPhoto (iPhoto '09 version 8.x.x) or older then you need to purchase iPhoto '11 version 9.x.x from the app store
If you had iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x) or older then you also need to download and run the iPhoto library upgraded prior to launching the new iPhoto

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo with snow leopard without the original CD?
Hi,
apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
Regards
Stefan
