Mac Book with Additional Screen
I have mac book with external screen. I have attached cables to screen and have power. How do I get screen from mac book to show on larger screen?
I wonder if you are asking how to get any image on your external screen at all (rather than how to make it mirror your MB). You did not say what connection you are using (VGA, HDMI or DVI), not whether you get any response from your external screen, but the first place to go is to the Displays panel in System Preferences. There, you should be able to see that the external display is recognized and you can select its resolution and position it in relation to your PB screen (or set it to "mirror") if wanted.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I have been trying to purchase mountain lion from the app store and it doesnt let me. I keep getting mobile me in the system preferences and i want to upgrade so i can link this mac book with my icloud account and devices. How can I uograde to mountain lion?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest models capable of running 10.8:
iMac7,1
MacBook5,1
MacBookPro3,1
MacBookAir2,1
Macmini3,1
MacPro3,1
Xserve3,1
If your computer is incapable of running 10.8 but has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and at least 2GB RAM, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

I have a 5 year old Mac Book with OS 10.6.8 and it can not be upgraded to Mountain Lion. I just got an iPad with retina. How do I get an iMovie project onto my iPad?

I just bought a 13inch mac book with retina display.
2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with 3MB shared L3 cache. Version 10.9.4 / OS X Mavericks
When Im using adobe illustrator or photoshop, the fonts and designs look pixelated!
How can I fix this?WOW!!
That was great to hear.
I have just read this tread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1626784?start=0&tstart=0
So therefore I was worry about Illustrator which I use most of all programs.
Thank you !! -
How to buy and install mac os x 10.6 in a late 2007 mac book with no dvd drive?
i want to buy snow leopard for mac book with no dvd drive, but the only choice in app store is dvd copy, no digital copy!
You'd have to have someone with a DVD drive make a Disk Image of the DVD, have them Restore that .dmg to a Flash drive that's big enough, the boot the MB using alt key to choose to boot from the USB Flash drive.

Transfered photos from IMac with Iphoto 9 to a mac book with Iphoto 11 now Iphoto 09 errors out saying "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." We have not updated or changed anything on the IMac all we did is transfer photos. Any help would be appreciated.
LarryHN is correct. The only way this message occurs is if the iPhoto Library database is upgraded to a newer version.
You could try holding SHIFT-OPT-COMMAND when launching iPhoto from the dock and checking only "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" and hope it restores the previous database prior to the upgrade.
If that doesn't work, you can install iPhoto '11 on your iPhoto '09 computer. If I understood the iPhoto '11 Mac App License agreeement correctly, you can install it on any personal, non-commerical computer you own running 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7. -

Priscilla,
if your Mac is still in warranty, then you should contact the Argentinian technical support service. If it is out of warranty, then we can try to lend a hand. (We’re just fellow Apple product users here.) -
HT4623 how do i update my mac book with the latest version of itunes?
Hi all, can anyone help me with updating my Mac Book with the latest itunes. I'm a bit old school and usually stick to same programs but now need to update?? Cheers!!
Make a backup of your computer first before doing any updates. In rare but unfortunate cases an update seems to result (from what the people posting here say) in libraries being deleted. Then too, sometimes people update and discover they really don't like the new version. Downgrading without a backup is difficult. In the long run you can't avoid going to a newer version but I, for example, have been running the same iTunes version for 7 years now so it is possible to hang on.
You also don't provide details about your MacBook which includes many models. If you are truly old school you could even be running a MacBook that can't update to the newest, or at least may require other software or hardware upgrades. Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present). -
I have a mac book with os 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 for the use of i cloud
i have a mac book with os 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to either 10.7 or 10.8 so i can use i cloud. I have tried to download 10.8 but it says my system wont allow it. I cant find a download for 10.7 on the apple web site... what to do from here ? thx
Apple said that customers can still purchase a copy of Snow Leopard or Lion from its online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac App Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

Was it installed before? Does it show up in Software Update?
Do other updates show up there (realizing that Lion is not getting all the updates anymore as it is no longer being supported).

i have recently been knocked over whilst carrying my mac book pro, the screen is now damaged and it wont charge at all... would apple replace it ?
i have tried buying a new charger incase this was the problem, it wasnt, it just wont icharge/turn on at all, im just wondering would apple replace it, as am a student and need a computer and this is my only one?Sorry no Apple will not replace it. What happened was an accident and the Apple warranty does not cover accidental damages.
So it looks like you will need to buy a new computer or pay to have your Mac fixed. -

When I start my mac book pro the screen flashes on and off and then a blue color before it open to the log in screen. Sometime a program will shot down buy it's self without me clicking the quit button. Help?!
If you keep getting a 'red' message it means that the HDD is faulty and will have to be replaced. You will have to format the new HDD in Disk Utility>Erase and then install the OSX and your data from Time Machine.
Ciao. -
I have disabled my IPhone while on vacation and do not have my MAC book with me and it will not let me restore it on someone elses computer. If I take it into an Apple store can they do this?
More than likely, they can. So long as you're in the same country you live in.
