Mac Book Pro 17" I did something accidently
I need assistance to discover how to correct this on my laptop display. Can someone help me? Jim
I thought it printed out my problem. Sorry. I did something to make the menu and the icons on the screen huge. Even when I open up an application it will not fit on the display screen. I cannot find where to bring it back to the normal size. Thanks

The movie I purchased from my Apple TV is not on my acct when I signed on my mac book pro. Is there something else I have to do to have my movie library updated on my macs?
Welcome to the Apple Community..
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer. -

Yes. Check to see if the iTunes application has been moved or renamed before installing it.

Can I track my stolen mac book pro if I did not have an i cloud account activated on it before stolen.?
You needed to have Find my Phone set up and activated/on (which is in iCloud).
PS: Since your profile shows you're running iOS - which iDevice do you have? Iphone, iPad, or ? Do you have it set up there? (iOS is the OS for iDevices; your MBP would be on Mac OS). -
Frozen on Screen Saver - Mac Book Pro Retina, precursor to something bad?
My Macbook Pro Retina, 10.8.2, went into Screen Saver mode, "Shifting Tiles", while I way away from my computer. Upon my return I was meet with a black screen and where the images for the "shifting tiles" would be were black boxes with an oily rainbow outline around each image box.
The boxes weren't moving at all, not shifting like "Shifting Tiles" would.
Computer wouldn't wake even when I left it alone for a couple minutes. Had to hard shutdown my computer by holding down the power key.
I've turned off Screensavers all together, but am worried this might just be a precursor to something worse. Computers barely 4 months old.
Any helpful advice or thoughts would be a apperciated.
Thanks.The answer you accepted as a solution is absolutely false. Not only do you not need to purchase ML, but the App Store version will not install on your computer.
There is no need for you to create a standalone installer. In the very unlikely event that you ever need to reinstall the OS, you can do it by booting into Recovery or Internet Recovery.
OS X: About OS X Recovery
If you insist on creating a standalone installer anyway, follow these instructions:
Create a bootable Lion install drive for newer Macs
The instructions are outdated, but should still work. -

Brand new Mac Book Pro, just migrated, cannot log in
I bought a Mac Book Pro last night. I follwed the set up, completed a migration from my Dell, finished the set up this morning. Now I cannot login to the Mac Book Pro and the log in page has both an apple, and a Dell icon on it. I've tried every password associated with both the Dell PC and my Itunes account. Any ideas? I do not know what operating system it is using as I cannot even log into the Mac Book Pro.
I did try no password. The dell Icon is still there for some reason, at this point I'm glad that Apple phone support was able to help me. I called them and they had me do a password reset by keying "Command" and "R" simulaneously during startup. I still have no idea how the password got messed up in the first place.

I have been trying import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. I have been successful doing this in the past, but now it is not working. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, (mavericks), iMovie 10.0.2. Everything in iMovie looks like it is working. It reads "recording" in the upper left hand corner of the pane while the video is playing. When I stop the process to check on my clip it says that the file is empty. The only thing that has changed since I did it successfully is that I upgraded to mavericks from whatever I had previously. My system is about one year old. Any suggestions?
Hey, Clinton,
Thanks for your help! I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video. I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support. They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded. That didn't change anything. In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge. But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2.
1. Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
2. Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
3. Close iMovie 9
4. Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
5. File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events. Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.)
6. Select the clips and import. Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
You may get a message that some files cannot be imported. Click continue import. It's a little glitchy. It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too. On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy. In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
Hope this additional information helps somebody else. Thanks again, Clinton for helping me! -
Why did my 17"Mac Book Pro loose its ability to output video through it's adaptors?
Why did my 17"Mac Book Pro loose its ability to output video through it's adaptors? I have S-Video, RC, and an HDMI adaptors that use to work and output video. At somepoint an OS upgrade stoped their functionality. Is this something I can correct? If so, any ideas as to a path to follow?
2011 and later MacBook Pros shifted to Thunderbolt.
Pre 2010 MacBook Pros may have a PRAM battery getting old.
One of these factors may exist. Not knowing the age of your MacBook Pro, I can't say for certain. -
I just bought a mac book pro - When setting up my computer it told me that I there was updates to my operating sytem - to install the updates. I installed them and then restarted my computer - But it still says that I have an update to do - which is the operating sytem one that I just did??? Do I still need to do something else.
bschau1963,
sometimes updates have other updates as prerequisites, so one set of updates can lead to another set of updates. Unless it is asking you to apply the same update over and over again, you should probably accept the new set of updates that Software Update is offering. -
Hi everyone. I bought my Mac Book Pro 2 years ago and it has had problems since.
Did they sell me a faulty one?They say it happens with laptops
Well... yes... it can happen with all computers, but that's certainly not a resolution. Are you working directly with Apple or a different service provider? If something (Word) has not been working since day one... even after repairs, then they haven't fixed it (provided you told them about the problem).
Basically, as others have said... if you've been getting the service you've described directly from Apple, I would give them a call and express your concern. You're in good shape while your warranty is still effective. Get them to fix it to your satisfaction. If something isn't working as it should, don't be afraid to say something. -
I have just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop Elements onto my Mac Book Pro (10.9.4). The installation to my hard drive went fine so I attempted to use Elements on an existing Photoshop file. I did not see the Elements option in my filter menu and am uncertain as to how to "add" the Elemnts to my existing filter choices. Please advise.
I'm sorry but it's very hard to understand what you mean. What filter menu? In which program? Do you mean you're trying to use PSE as an external editor with some other asset management program? Which one?

Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table -
I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.
Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire. -
I have a Mac Book Pro with 10.6.8 and want to back up my files using a flash drive. It says I did it but when I tried to check on my other Mac - an I Mac with 10.5.8, thedata does not seem to be there. I cant see photos, etc.. It shows the backup as a file and shows various system info. but there are no photos or other files shown.
Thanks for any advise.
MikeA PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data. Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier. I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4. If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place. I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.
