Mac Quad Pro Rosetta and Activation issues.
I recently purchased a Mac Quad Pro (Xeon) and migrated everything over to the Leopard boot partition did all the usual repair permissions etc. Most stuff seems to work okay, but I do have a couple issues with CS3
Photoshop will not run under Rosetta (need it for a couple plugins that are not Leopard compatible). Although the check box in Get Info is available, I get a dialog saying no can do...contact my IT person. (I am the IT person around here.}
Okay, I coned my Leopard partition to another internal hard drive and forgot to deactivate CS3 before the cloning. So booted from the cloned backup, ran PS and ran "Help - Deactivate". I got a message saying that I needed to activate the program within 5 days! Huh? PS was active when I did the clone so I don't understand why there is a time limit on what should be an active copy and why Adobe thinks it's an inactive version. I did activate that version then immediately deactivated it.
OSX 10.5.2, MacPro Quad Xeon. 4GB Ram, CS3 Design Premium
On last desperation thing you might try is a smc reset. But as sig says, it sounds that machine needs some "professional help"

Hello,
I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal.
I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?Some things you can try.

Mac Book Pro 13 inch Graphics Issue with Yosemite
I have a major graphics issue with my Mac Book Pro mid 2010 after upgrading to Yosemite. I have a 2.66ghz with 8gb memory and 320M 256 MB NVIDIA graphics card. Since upgrading to Yosemite (after a clean install) I have had the following issue that are driving me crazy;
When I use more than one program my screen displays large blocks of unrecognisable fuzziness. I have two screen working off my Mac Book Pro, one is the Apple 27 inch theatre screen.
My system works slow despite have ample free memory available on my disk (over 150gb)
It is becoming an increasing concern as this issue builds up over the day to the point where I need to reboot to fix, however as soon as I use Photoshop the system almost grinds to a halt. Other issues that are bearable but ned addressing include;
Keyboard often does not work on startup and requires you to pull out the keyboard and reconnect (intermittent).
Lost email when sent (intermittent). I had hoped that this would be fixed in this updated release.
Laggy behaviour in general.
I am hoping someone has an idea to fix these issues or are also sharing my frustration. Can someone suggest fix as this is not a workable situation for Mac book Pro users and 2010 is not that of an old computer. Apple???So you erased your drive and installed 10.10 and then 10.10.1 and everything else was t hrough Setup Assistant, through reinstalls, or through TimeMachine restore?
A four-year old laptop may be at the point where that small older gpu and processors have more trouble.
you might want to hold off and go back to Mavericks or whatever you had - hopefully you cloned that system before doing clean install, upgrade to 16GB, maybe throw in an SSD... or save and get the next MacBook Pro to come out.
And you checked your apps at http://www.roaringapps.com for compatibility.
Might help just to see what if anything shows up in output from Etrecheck.
Probably thought this was laptop MacBook Pro, it is not, probably best moved to Yosemite forum. -

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 -

Mac Book Pro Retina 2012 Battery Issue
guys i wanted to ask about the mac book pro retina 2012 battery issue
is it best to leave the laptop plug in charging all the time or let the laptop battery to have a full cycle all the time?
my usage is mainly autocad and photoshop.
i also have window 7 install on boot camp to play battlefield 3
my mac book aged 12 weeks adn the battery loadcycles is 78
Battery Capacity : 8259mAh
Design Capacity : 8460mAh
i also read on apple support saying it's advicable not to leave the laptop charge in. i ask on some forum some plug in all the time some perform full cycle.
so which is the best procedure ( plug in all the time / perform full cycle ) so that the battery can last for 5 years.Edmund CWH wrote:
so what you're saying is for heavy usage plug in the charger
for light usage like web browsing, listneing songs, check mail,etc use battery right?
You're right
what's the best ideal to drain the battery ( use the battery until how many percentage ) 5% or 20% then charge it.
in malaysia the reseller says 5%. but some says 20%
I recommend to charge it at 20% and use all the battery until your Mac shuts down at least once a month. With this, you'll have a healthy battery -
When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5? I have a new Mac book Pro 2013 and cannot install. Do I return the Windows version and try to download 8.0, or wait it out until it is supported? New to Mac's.
Apple please advise.Apple does not respond in these forums except occasionally an Apple employee will stop by. If you want to contact Apple, use the contact us link at the bottom of this page.
With respect to your question "When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5?" you are asking us to speculate as to when Apple will release their drivers supporting Windows 8.1. We do not know, and we can not speculate as to when. From the terms of use of this forum:
"Unless otherwise noted, do not add Submissions about nontechnical topics, including:
Speculations or rumors about unannounced products."
The planned dates of production or release of Windows 8.1 drivers are speculation about the drivers.
With respect to your other question, "Do I return the Windows version and try to download 8.0, or wait it out until it is supported? New to Mac's.". I answered you. -
My mac book pro crashed and the logic board died. They said that i could get the hard drive out and it should have all my files on it. How do i get them off and put them on my new computer?

Do you mean a case for the external hard drive? See here. Hope this may be helpful to you.

i just bought a new mac book pro 13'' and i bought a toshiba 1tb hard drive aswell, i formatted it to mac but it will not show up on my tv so i can watch movies? and solutions or reasons why?
TVs don't support "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", so you will probably have to use FAT32. To format the external drive, follow the same steps as you did to format it with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled), but in the erasing screen, select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". Note that FAT32 isn't compatible with files bigger than 4 GB. Also, you may have to format the external drive in a PC

I've ordered a new mac book pro 15" and i need to clean hard drive off my old PC...not really to move them to the mac, but just to save in case needed; mostly pics and office docs....any suggestions?
Buy an external USB hard drive and copy your data to it. Either that or burn them all to single or double layer DVDs (depending on amount of data you have). Or if it's really a small amount, consider putting it all on a USB memory stick.

I own a mac book pro 13" and I use parallels for work and desperately need the "pause" key that used to be on my PC. It is the equivalent of the f15 key. My keyboard only goes up to f12 and I have looked in here and on google and can't figure it out. doesn't anyone have ideas?
Thanks!I have found the solution for myself for the above. I use a specific scripting program which is accessed by Control A. To pause it, you need to use Control B. not sure if this would work for any other application but it resolves my dilemma after hours of trying!

I have a Late 2011 Mac Book Pro 17" and I want to install a Samsung 840 EV 2.5 1TB. What accessories if any do I need? I want to place my order once with all that is needed to install this equipment.
No you don't. All currently available commercial hard drives and SSDs have the same SATA connectors in the exact same place.
As to being plug and play that is up to interpretation. The drive will plug into the cable but then you have to partition and format the drive for the Mac OS X operating system and then install OS X on it or restore from a Time Machine backup or Clone from your original drive to the SSD. Those things aren't necessarily Plug & Play. Not hard, just time consuming. Some more than the others. -
Color don't work well in Mac book pro 13" and monitor flash sometimes? Please help me!
Color don't work well in Mac book pro 13" and monitor flash sometimes? Please help me!
Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor.
The many "failed" warnings that etrecheck sometimes spews mean nothing. Those warnings are not a reason to reinstall the OS, or to do anything else at all. They should be ignored.
The better your description of the problem, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup. -
I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp.
If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"... will it make my mac suseptible to viruses overall due to having a windows component? also will it make my mac slower as wellIf you are only going to use one or two window only programs then I wouldn't waste the space. Try WinonX it allows you to install exe. Files on Mac without installing windows.

We had our Mac Book Pro stolen and have not been able to recover the serial number from our Best Buy receipt. We did register it with Apple during the set-up and downloaded music on it thru ITunes. Any chance we can recover the serial number from somewhere? Any details would be helpful. Thank you!
You can try going here, using the same AppleID you used on the machine:
