Macbook Pro 10.6.5 can't find my LCD-tv

Hello!
I'm having issues connecting my Macbook Pro to my LG-LCd with this update.
It works well with update 10.6.2 but not:
10.6.3
10.6.4
and now 10.6.5
The screen does flash in light blue on MB as it usually does when it is connected but I get no picture on the tv. The Mac acts like nothing apart from that.
Anyone else having a similar issue?

I think this is a continuing problem with the drivers for the lower spec graphics chip on the MacBook Pro and other systems. I have the same problem with a 20" LG monitor when my MacBook Pro is set for 'Better battery life' in the Energy Saver prefs. This energy setting makes the MacBook Pro use the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor. However, if you switch to the higher spec graphics chip by setting the Energy Saver to 'Higher Performance' and logout and back in again, it'll switch to using the better NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics processor instead. With the higher spec graphics processor selected, I find the problem goes away!
It looks like 10.6.2 was the last version of Snow Leopard that has decent driver software for the lower spec NVIDIA GeForce 9400M. Even the recent 10.6.5 doesn't seem to have this working properly!
Regards
Peter

I can't see any reason that you would need it... Just let it create it's own connection.

MacBook Pro 2013 windows 7 can't find USB

Hi, i have a problem installing Windows 7 on my new MacBook Pro 13" 2013.
Here's what i did before it goes wrong.
I made an .iso file from original Windows 7 DVD, ran BootCamp and chose the option to install the .iso file on a USB stick (8GB 3.0), installed Windows drivers on the same stick, partioned my drive (40 some gigs). Then the computer reboots and Windows installation progresses until it want to use the drivers installed on the USB stick. It seems it can't find the USB stick? I've tried to use another USB stick, and changing USB ports, but nothing.
Does anybody have a take on what could be wrong?

You won't be able to connect your iPhone to your computer via Bluetooth. It's not supported.

Where can I purchase Macbook pro logic board(I can't find my model on Ebay)

Hi all, Im from Croatia, Europe, and I'm trying to buy the logic board for my Macbook pro that died recently. I've been to Apple reseler here and they are asking too much 1300$ for repair. The model of my logic board is 820-2101-A. Does anyone knows where can I buy it for less than 500$. I tried ebay, there is no my model. Thanks!

There is a knowing issue on NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT. It might cause be the problem of your logic board.

Btw, go check with Apple store or service if you can. Might help you save money.
I have a problem with my macbook pro 15" which bought around June 2007.I believe logic board is bad. Take to store and they quote $310 to fix MBP if the problem is not cause by video issue or free if it cause by video issue. Hope this info can help you.

On MacBook Pro, in iPhoto, I can't find the "DON In MacBook Pro where do I find the "DONE" button to save my editing changes and revert back to my library.

In MacBook Pro, where is the "DONE" button to save my editing changes and revert back to the iphoto library?

If you're using the Adjust editing pane there is no Done button. When you done with the editing just click on the Photos button at the top or use one of the arrows at the top to advance to the next photo. No done button required.

Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo Can't Find Extreme n Base Station

Just got a new MBP Core 2 Duo today and it doesn't find my base station. I have a Win XP machine and an iMac working fine on the station. I installed the Airport Utility that came with the Extreme n, but still no luck.
I ran the Airport Setup Assistant to see if I could connect that way. If finds my network, but then when I continue to see if I can modify it, it doesn't display my network. Very bizarre.

Nevermind. I don't know how or why, but I started the Setup Assistant again and it found everything and now I'm getting to the internet. I've been messing with this for an hour and something that makes no sense seems to have fixed my problem.
Thanks.

Hello, this might be a basic question, but how do you open QuickTime to record a new webinar? I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite and can only get QuickTime to appear in Finder but not actually open to allow me to record something new. Thx.

Hi Winterwilly,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below answers your question of how to use QuickTime to record something on your MacBook Pro’s screen.

If i bought a macbook pro on 4 juin,can i get the upgrade of new max os lion free?

if i bought a macbook pro on 4 juin,can i get the upgrade of new max os lion free?
i buy it directly from the apple store.

Might be a discount voucher near-term, to match up with past programs. That would positively scream "epic win" in addition to being a really nice gesture by Apple. But this is an educated guess.
We still have to find out how 10.4 and 10.5 holdouts from late '06-mid '09 (and y'all know who y'all are, ladies and gents) are going to get Lion based on the only system requirement of a 64-bit CPU. I suspect a Mac Box Set refresh would be in order for this task.
Also: how would one reinstall Lion "clean" if, say, the hard disk flips out or one just doesn't want excess baggage gumming up his machine? Recovery partitions assume the worst won't happen.
Unfortunately, this also leaves the earlier '06 Macs on life support and effectively kills off all prior Macs with PowerPC chips, so to anybody with a Core Duo or G-series chip, Apple wants you upgrading hardware--NOW!

I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect. I did get connected vis TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest.

Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

As a new Macbook Pro user I was saddened to find that the feature of using keywords in iPhoto '11 does not allow showing same under each photo. I understand this was available in earlier versions. Any comments?

Against TOU which you "agreed" to in order to post in these user to user forums. If you want to "suggest" something to Apple, do so in the Product Feedback area.

I bought my macbook pro in the US. can i use it in china? (P.S the power in the US is 110v, in China is 220v, however, the mac power supply has said: "Input: 100~240v")

The Magsafe autoswitches based on detected power. You will likely need a wall adapter to alter ther US-based 3-prong to whatever is used in China.

I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

Do it with a Firewire cable (buy a 800/400 adapter if you need it) - the USB transfer takes a much longer time.
Start up your old PowerMac G4 holding down the "T" key, for target disk mode.
On your new MacBook Pro open "Migration Assistant" in your utilities folder.
Connect the 2 computers by firewire cable and follow the prompts in Migration Assistant.

After having to reinstall my drive with applications I get a message with Premiere Pro CS5 that it can't find any "capable video play modules" and asks me to "update" my "video display modules". How do I do this? I am using a mid-2010 iMac 27" with 10.7.3

After having to re-install my start-up drive recently I am getting a message with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 that it can't find any "capable video play modules" and asks me to "update" my "video display modules". I am using a mid-2010 iMac 27" with OSX 10.7.3. How do I do this?

Premiere is an Adobe application and is supported in their forums.
Good luck.
