Latest mac book pro to tv

I have the latest 15 inch macbook pro. i'm now going to be traveling for around 10 days a month. i want to use my macbook as a 'dvd player', hooking it up to tvs in hotels. what hardware do i need? thanks, dave

Depends on what sort, if any, of input those TVs have. Many have no input at all.
For HDMI (nice hotels with HDTVs), you need the mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, then an HDMI cable.
For composite or s-video, you need Apple's Mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter and the VGA converter from Monoprice.
The above will cover video. If you want audio as well, you'll need a mini-stereo to RCA cable - those are commonly available (Amazon, Radio Shack, Target).

I am going to purchase the latest Mac Book Pro. How do I transfer data from my very old Macbook running OS 10.4?

You may want to use the Migration Assistant, which appears the first time you start up the new machine during setup, and also is available later (it is found in /Applications/Utilities.) Note that if you are running 10.4.x on the old MacBook both machines need to use FireWire to do this, but the late 2006 MacBook has that. You will need a special 4 pin to 6 pin FireWire adapter cable, as the FireWire ports on the newest MacBook Pros are different.

Firewire 400/800 and Iomega connectivity in the Latest Mac Book Pro?

Hi,
I am awiting my Mac Book Pro to arrive. I have no experince with a Mac Book Pro.
I have a Mac version Iomega External Portable Hard Drive. This Iomega has USB2, Firewire 400 & Firewire 800 connectivity.
I do not think Firewire 400 or Firewire 800 cable came with my Iomega.
Is this Iomega connectable through Firewire 400 or Firewire 800 to a latest Mac Book pro? If so do I connect it to the Thunderbult port in my Mac Book Pro?
Is there especial cable avaiable for these purposes?
Regardsa

Connection is with the FW800 port using a FW800 to FW800
cable. The ones I've purchase came with USB and FW800
cables. The Thunderbolt port is only for Thunderbolt devices
or some displays via a Display Port adapter.
If for some reason you no longer have any cables, FW800 cables
are readily available either online or at any store that handles
Apple computers, and some that don't.

I was wondering if i am entitled to a free upgrade to the latest mac book pro that was recently released not that long ago?

No, you're not entitled to a new MacBook. If I wanted the newest one, I'd sell the one I just bought and buy a new one.

How do you Control Alt Delete on mac Book Pro keyboard when using VM Ware?

This must be the stupidest question I'll ever have to ask...but....normally in the office I have a separate mac keyboard/screen/mouse and log into Windows via VM Ware. I am using the latest Mac Book Pro model. I have to click on the window and press Control Alt Delete before I log in. This works fine until the day I was out of the office and had to press Control Alt Delete via the Mac Book Pro's own keyboard and nothing happened. I passed the laptop over to 2-3 other mac friendly people and we all were left scratching our heads.
Can anyone shed some light on this??

Google is your friend!*
Turned up another Apple Discussions post that said to press  + U at the ctrl-alt-del prompt to bring up the 'visually challenged' tools, and to turn on the on-screen keyboard. This should allow you to log in, then once you are in, remap the keys to something more convenient, maybe assigning the right-hand-side command key to DEL. Unfortunately, I haven't used a Windows PC in ages, so I can't tell you how to do this.
On a related note, I've just discovered that I don't have an  key on my MBP. You learn something new every day!

Will i be able to run windows 7 on mac book pro 15inch with retina display?

In addition to installing Windows in Boot Camp so that it will run instead of Mac OS X, you can also install Windows as a Virtual Machine so that Windows and the Mac OS can run at the same time. To use a Virtual Machine, you'd need software such as VMware Fusion, Parallels, or Virtual Box.
Note, however, that you may have some difficulty finding Windows 7 for sale. You may be stuck with Windows 8.1.

CAN I UPGRADE MY MAC BOOK PRO WITH LATEST MAC

I brought a mac book pro in augest 2010 from apple store. Is there any possibility to upgrade my mac book with latest configuration offered by apple? My mac book pro in is very good condition as it is when i brought it. Please let me know regrading this...
Thanking you

Apple will not normally buy back old Macs. They do offer a recycling program with the store. Inquire at your local store. This is a user to user forum, so no one here can answer for Apple directly, except with what we have experienced as users.

I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. however when I go to update my software it doesnt show that any update is available.

10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

I just downloaded the latest software OS X on my mac book pro, now whenever I start my computer I have to wait for windows mac to open up. The open at login is not even checked. How can I stop this from happening?

I have a Mac Book Pro and downloaded the latest software OS X. Now whenever I start my computer, I have to wait for Windows Mac to do its thing. I checked and the "open at login" option is not checked. How can I turn this feature off? It's driving me nuts!!

All fixed Barry. When I went to restart my computer, the question was right there. Do you want to open Windows when opening. NOPE!!
I tried it a few times and thank goodness it worked. Thank you for your help today.
Best,

Yes. You need 2011 or later in order to mirror as it requires the newer processor. The alternative is airparrot, which does it via software.

Mac book pro won't start after latest osx update

Thanks
