MacBook Pro 13inch, 1080p Output?

Does the current MBP 13inch output (to a monitor) a "Full HD 1920x1080 signal?
Can I use my 2009 iMac as a monitor with a current MBP 13 inch model?

Hi mawxi,
I have the same problem and i resurged the topic nearly two weeks now. For me it's important to play video native 24p and audio with SPDIF 5.1
My way:
1.) OSX: There is only the way to buy the software "switchresX". I found no other way to change the frequency to 24Hz. If tested it and it worked.
--> If anyone know more please share the information with us!
2.) Vista: I used bootcamp to install Vista. After installing all vista updates, i downloaded the nvidia driver "nvidia 8900M GT" from the nvidia homepage. It worked and there i can choose the 24Hz.
Now i searched the audio driver and the Wifi driver. (Normally those drivers should be included at the OSX disc but not at my one) I found them here:
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx
Yes! You have to use the internet Explorer, but here you find all you need.
search: "Broadcom 802" for Wifi and "Realtek" for audio, sort the list by Date.
Well, now i can use my 2000€ MacBook Pro to watch 24p movies with 5.1 sound on my fullhd beamer and 7.1 yamaha receiver.

  • Is there a driver to let a ps2 keyboard plugged in with a usb connector work on my macbook pro 13inch

    is there a driver to let a ps2 keyboard plugged in with a usb connector work on my macbook pro 13inch?
    I know there are more threads about this subject but none was really an answer.
    I got a keyboard (brand medion) with a ps2 connector. i wanted it to connect to my macbook so i bought an ps2 to usb connecter.
    wile connected with my macbook the keyboard leds flash one time like they do when you put it in a ps2. but after this just doesn' t work
    I think i might miss a driver or its just turned of somwhere in the system. an previous answer was said something about a safe reboot and a lot of codes but thats to hard for me.
    so any good solutions????

    I've never found a PS2 to USB adapter that worked, or IIRC I've never found one at all. I have USB TO PS2 but not the other way. Just go out and buy a new keyboard. PS2 is so late 90s/early 2000s

  • My macbook pro 13inch is having an issue.

    Hi there.
    My name is Brain and i'm having problems with my macbook pro 13inch.
    I got my macbook pro in Hong Kong in August in the summer vacation. it worked pefectlty till novemeber. i hadn't downloaded anything on it or done any of my work but i turned it off properly by shutting it down with the off button then pressed shut down as it usually pops up. the next morning when i turn it back on and it's stuck on a blue screen (the one before it shows the log in information). i had turned it off again by holding the off button as there was no other way of turning it off. i left it for five minutes and it still was the same. i then left it over night with the blue screen on and the next morning it was the same even though there was no charge. i then turned it off and left it for three months then tried it again and still the same.
    i then talked to an apple support person, he helped me step by step and the computer was able to change from the blue screen to a step before it where the apple sign is and a spinning dile was moving. he suggested that i should get my 13inch cd that came with my laptop and insert it and press C. the only problem is now is that i  have misplaced my cd and i cannot find it.
    Is it possible if i can get a cd from an apple store or order it online and if possible if i get the new software Mac OS X v10.7 Lion. obviously i would buy it i would just want to know if i had to get snow leapord first and then install lion.
    sorry for writing so much but i hope this is helpfull in understanding my perdicument.
    thank you
    Brian

    Couple of things.  There hasn't been OSX software on a CD in 5 years or so.  Second, you can ask Apple to ship you new disks for your Mac.  Once you have your issues fixed (and I'm almost certain that they will, you have a corrupted startup item), you can then go to the Mac App Store and upgrade to Lion.

  • Help on how to fix macbook pro 13inch 2010 (cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad)?

    help on how to fix macbook pro 13inch 2010
    Hi, I need some peoples help on fixing my laptop. I have a macbook pro 13 inch 2010 model, and it refuses to boot into either osx or windows. Every time I prevoiusly treid to boot into mac osx I got this error "panic (cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad)". there is an image below. and when I had treid to boot into windows (bootcamp) I got this error "A disk read error occured Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". I have treid to restart the computer and gotten both these errors agian. The strange things is this deosn't always happen, sometimes I don't get any errors, and it just has the apple logo whith the spinning loading thing happening below (I left this for an hour and it still kept spinning, and never loaded). Other times it just show white whith no errors but never loads, sometime it lets me alt to select which os to boot into (nether work), but other times it just freezes and shows a mouse cursor on the white background. it's not consistent.
    Most recently it has a flashing folder on a white background. I treid inserting my osx disc and went into disc utility but it doesn't detect my hardrive. It may be a faulty hardrive or sata cable but I dont know (I have links below). I was recently (well for the first time), defragmenting my windows partition, it hit temparatures of 80-85C, and stayed at that for several hours throughout the defragmentation, would this have damaged it? 
    I have scoured the internet and found many people whith very similar problems to me but none whith the same, and A lot of people saying that if you get the error you should just use a time machine backup, the thing is I don't have a time machine backup. The internal hardrive I am currently using on my laptop is a seagate 640gb 5400rpm (it's not an apple harddrive). every thing else it standard, standard ram and no overclocking, I was running 10.6.8 snow leopard, and windows xp profesional 32bit (split 320gb each, whith about 10gb spare on each parttion).
    It would be greatly appreiciated If any one could shed some light on what I should do. I need the laptop working whithin the week (for my tafe work), but If I have to reinstall the OS's and programs it could take a long0I have a lot of programs and that could take a month. not to mention The fact that the hardrive might be completly fine and it's just a faulty sata connection. but then would I still be getting an error if thats all thats wrong?. and if it is just the error is there anyway I can fix it whitout doing a fresh install, there a error reading document blow but I cannot make heads or tails of it. I also have almost no money to afford getting it fixed.
    also one last thing, I stupitidely inserted my mac osx disc 95% of the way into my macs slot loading drive when it was powered down (off). when I turned it on it sucked it in fine, but would that have caused any damage to the disc or laptop (I cannot eject the disc to check)
    I have images of many of the things I described below. So any suggestions.
    I have also posted this on several other websiets if that helps)

    The problem may be that your macbook is'nt set to 'mirror image' if you go into settings, onto 'displays' there should be an option within, once youre connected, to 'mirror image' if you check this box, then the problem should be sorted, if not then maybe a dodgy cable or adapter.

    After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters at university. I don't play computer games and I don't watch movies. I do store photos and videos of my kids and music on iTunes. I also like browsing the net with numerous windows open, check email etc. I am really wanting long battery life as I do a lot of my work on the couch - not close to a PowerPoint. Would the air do the trick or will it soon be outdated as Apple move towards retina display? Both air and pro seem very thin  - almost the same? And not much difference in weight either so both very portable which is also a necessary requirement. Just can't help dreaming about that 12 hour claimed battery life. Any helpful advice/opinions, very much appreciated. Thanks

    It's not likely that you'll get 12 hours in reql life. Those benchmarks are set under very strict controlled conditions. Kind of like mileage per gallon claims on cars. If 16GB of ram is an option at all I'd highly recommend you get that. As far as storage 256GB isn't alot, consider storing some things on an external thunderbolt real

  • I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life)bought in October 2010 in the UK. The charger has stopped working. Which model and voltage do I need please?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life) bought in October 2010. The charger has been playing up for a while now - the light going out but coming back on when I move the cable a bit - faulty connection it seems. It has now stopped working at all.
    Apple UK charge a whopping £65 for a replacement - and the reviews are AWFUL for it!
    I need to know which one I need - 45w, 60w and 80w are listed - can someone tell me please? If I'm going to pay this price I want to make sure I get the right one!
    Also, is a genuine Apple one available on Amazon UK, does anyone know please?
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Meanwhile my battery is going down.....

    Thanks for that wjosten. Much appreciated.
    I've read here on Apple's site that the 85W version will work, as you say, and that it would run cooler with a 13" Macbook - I have a 13" MBP of course but assume this would be the same with mine. I wonder if running cooler is a good thing (it sounds as if it is) and it would be better for me to get the 85W version than the 60W one?
    Then I have to decide whether to pay the (extortionate as it seems to me, though I may be wrong) £65 from Apple (bearing in mind the rotten reviews here of the Apple product), or risk a cheaper alternative from Amazon UK, at around £20 (also with various rotten reviews)... Any suggestions? Please? :-)

    hello , please tell me whats the price of a screen and casing for a macbook pro 13inch.ty

    ds store's opinion will be right in some, but not all cases.
    That largely depends on eactly which year and MacBook Pro (e.g., 5,1 ) model you are talking about, as well as whether you are rather "handy" and can do the swap yourself.
    On older Macs, used complete screens are available on the secondary from machines that have died. Step-by-step photo-illustrated guides are also available for sources like ifixit.com. [Their motivation for providing these guides for free is that some readers will buy their parts to make the repairs themselves.]
    Newer Macs may be valuable enough that having Apple fix them may be cost-effective. A free appointment at the genius Bar (with no obligation to proceed with ANY repairs) can get you a quote to consider.

  • Dropped my Macbook Pro 13inch

    Hello,
    I dropped my macbook pro 13inch-unibody and I have a dent in the corner of my screen. it doesn't affect the actualy visual part of the screen but I would like to undent it. Also, I have some scratches on the bottom of the notebook and would like to get rid of it as well. Is there any way to do that?

    If you want to get rid of the scratches and dents you need to take it to an Apple Store or AASP and have the damaged parts replaced. It won't be inexpensive but it shouldn't cost anything for a price quote. My suggestion is to begin taking better care of it and also to get some protective covers.

  • Remove a dent in the Lid of MacBook Pro 13inch

    Hey there!
    So I have recently purchsed a MacBook Pro, 13inch however, I was gutted to find that I have a dent in the lid og MacBook. The dent is quite noticeable but hasn't cracked the surface (Thank goodness!) However, there is a slight discolouration of the glass where the dent was made on the screen (The dent is on the outer 'shell' to the left of the apple (opposite from the bite of the Apple).
    I ahve looked around other help topics and they mainly include taking off the lid and removing the glass by hand however, I am not particularly good at detailed DIY projects.
    I have been thinking about a case but I would prefer to be able to remove the dent from the exterior - is this possible? If not, how much (aprox.) would a lid replacement cost ($NZ) and would it be worth it?
    I would really appreciate any help, ANy recommendations/previous experiences would be great!
    Thanks!
