Macbook Pro, Windows vista, & Sony DR-BT50

I use Windows a lot more often than I do Mac and I have been trying for 8 months to get My headphones to work while in windows. Last week I finally had some success, next thing I know windows update and my headphones no longer work.

Tell it to Microsoft.

I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

I am trying to hook my MacBook Pro to a Sony Bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. I have used the same setup with three other TV's, each a different brand with no problem. Any ideas?

Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection. Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection. Check your connections.
If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image. Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown. You should see a picture at this point. I recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I have connected my mbpr directly to a Sony Bravia using an hdmi cable, then set the tv to use the corresponding input port, and it works just fine. Have also connected via airplay -> appletv -> tv (with the last connection via an hdmi cable), which also works fine.

Last week, I had no problems streaming my MacBook Pro to my sony Bravia with a logix hdmi cable. I came back from holidays and now it doesn't work anymore. What settings should my computer be on and what settings should my tv be on?

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDMI so I could watch videos from my computer on my TV. My TV then shows my basic computer background but the videos won't play. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDML. The TV recognizes my computer; I see my basic computer screen on the TV. I tried to watch videos on my TV but got nothing. (tried via my facebook vidoes and Youtube. What am I doing wrong?

I've got a similar (but different!) problem: I have a MacBookPro3,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I want to connect to my HD TV using a HDMI to DVI cable but the MBP cannot detect the TV display. What's the solution? Is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.8 ? Any ideas what I can do to make things work with the HDMI to DVI cable. (N.B.: I have separate audio cable running from the MBP to amplified speakers for the sound side of things. It’s the video that’s the problem!)

Trying to connect a Belkin brand audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV. Cannot get any sound from the laptop out of the TV. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to connect a Belkin brand stereo audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV (Apple "genius" handed me the cable to purchase.) I have tried all the ports in the back of the Sony, and tried the volume on both the cable and TV remotes. I cannot get sound out of the Sony from my MacBook Pro laptop. What am I doing wrong???

Downloaded your operating manual. It appears that you need to connect the HDMI to HDMI 1 and the audio to the input socket just to the right of the VGA socket (i.e., between the VGA and the RF input connection). The picture on page13 seems to be the clearest I could find:
Although it's not exactly clear I think they are talking about a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo jack for the audio inpu as opposed to the more common RCA jacks used in the row just above that VGA input socket.
I haven't checked the manual as yet whether you need to set anything special with the controls other than input select.
Note, if that truly is a 3.5 mm stereo jack cables are very common. In your case it would just be a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on each end.
Update:
You will have to experiment with this but I think you will need to try pusing the input button to select either HDMI1 or PC (or Component?). The manual is not clear on this (page 31). Sometimes it just comes down to pushing buttons.

Can I transfer my email in outlook on my macbook pro (windows for mac) onto my ipad mini?Help!?

can I transfer my email in outlook on my macbook pro (windows for mac) onto my ipad mini?Help!?

Outlook is an email client and that does not indicate if your email is POP or IMAP. If you have an IMAP email account, all of your emails actions will automatically sync across your devices. If you have POP, it does not work that way.
If you are asking if you can transfer the current emails on the Mac onto the iPad, no you cannot, unless the email is an IMAP account and they can download onto the iPad again from the server.

Macbook Pro with Vista does NOT connect to 802.11n

I have a Macbook Pro running Vista and a wifi Linksys WRT350 access point/router, which does 802.11b/g/n. The Macbook Pro only connect to the access point at 802.11g 54Mbps the access point is set to mix-mode. If I set the access point to only 802.11n, the Macbook Pro cannot connect to the access point. If I use bootcamp to load the Mac OS X, the Mac OS X is able to connect to 802.11n. The signal level is pretty good on Vista ad Mac OS X.
Any ideas?

Usually when connecting a camera only the SD card is mounted, so it is normal to see only the SD card mounted on the Desktop. The camera is not actually the device, rather the SD card (and interface) is. Apparently System Information does report correctly on the camera itself.
Be sure to check at Epson's support site for an updated driver compatible with Lion. You can also download the latest drivers package from Apple: Epson Printer Drivers v2.9 OS X.
Of importance is if the scanner is working. If it is working, then it really doesn't matter, except cosmetically, that the device is reported as a printer. You can report that to Apple via Apple Feedback.

MacBook Pro and Vista

Hi all,
Our company develops software for Windows Management in the Enterprise space, and I spend most of my time demoing the software in a VMware environment.
A while ago, someone recommended that I should look at buying a high spec MacBook Pro, and installing Windows Vista and VMware Workstation on it, as the performance will surpass the highest spec PC out there.
I currently run a Dual Core 2.33GHz Dell Precision M90, with 4Gb of RAM and a 512Mb dedicated graphics card.
Due to the Intel chipset, the hardware only sees 3Gb of the 4Gb DDR II memory available.
I spend most of my time within VMware workstation hooked up to a high spec projector (hence the decent graphics card)
Is it true?
Would a MacBook Pro be better?
Specifically, I wouldn't want to run dual boot in a Boot Camp Scenario, as the Mac OS wouldn't be required (I have no apps for this anyway)
Also, I probably wouldn't be interested in VMware Fusion at this stage, as I understand it is not as stable yet as VMware Workstation for the PC.
... it would certainly be funny to demo our Windows Management software on an Apple!!!
Your comments and advice would be much appreciated!

techydude,
"Exclusivist?" No, not at all. And, I do not disagree about the potential for conversion, either.
However, I try to avoid whatever "evangelical" tendencies I might have. Sure, if someone comes here inquiring about OS X, and it seems apparent that they are looking for relief from Windows, I will wax eloquently (well, I'll wax) all day about the advantages of OS X.
I have a rather pragmatic approach, but I also have an eye for "elegance." In either mode, it doesn't make sense to me to purchase an Apple computer, only to run Windows exclusively. Thinking pragmatically, it is a no-brainer that the purchase of a PC with Windows already bundled makes more sense than a Mac which would require the additional cost of a full license for Windows (just for starters). Since neither option would present a savings or price premium, provided one is comparing similarly-configured machines, one must look at the inherent value to the end user represented by each option. If the end user has no intention of running OS X, the Mac immediately loses every bit of its advantage over a PC, value-wise.
And (as I mentioned before), purchasing a Mac just to run Windows is simply not "elegant." In the same vein, I see no reason for someone to own and drive an SUV just because they want to or can. In my book, there's no legitimate reason to burn more fuel than necessary unless one is towing a large trailer (camper, boat, etc.), and the entire concept represented by "Hummers" is abhorrent to me.
If this makes me "Exclusivist," then so be it.

MacBook Proand Windows Vista networking

Hello, is there a way of sharing files in between Windows Vista and MacBook pro ( 10.4 ) ? Thank you

Try the software called MacDrive 7. This will allow Windows to read and write to the Mac partition. Mac can read an NTFS partition, but cannot write to it.

Time capsule only seems to work with my macbook pro, not vista. (wifi)

So I received my TC today and set it up. Everything is working perfectly except the new wifi network I created only works with my macbook pro, not my other laptop that has windows vista installed on it. It only works with vista when I take off the password from the network. When it's on, it says something about the settings being invalid for that particular computer. I think it has something to do with the WPA2 encryption.
Any suggestions?

Nobody?

Audio crackle/pop with new MacBook Pro under Vista

I just got a brand new MacBook Pro (multi-touch, Penryn cpu) and have used Boot Camp to install Windows Vista on it. Vista installed fine, and then I used the Restore DVDs that came with my MBP to install the drivers. The Device Manager shows that everything is installed.
All is not well, however. Whenever sound is being output, there are random crackles or pops - sometimes there will only be one every 5 minutes or so, sometimes there are 10 of them right in a row. The only clue I can find is that the Problem Reports And Solutions application in Vista says that there is a "Compatibility issue between Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 and Windows Vista." There is no solution offered. I don't know if this problem is directly related to the audio problems, but it seems likely.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any way to fix this and stop the audio crackles?

Well after a week and a half of testing and being unsatisfied with choppy audio on my MBP I believe I may have found the answer. The cause lies in the audio API within Vista; there is a specific service (Multimedia Class Scheduler) that adjusts the priority of multimedia applications according to resources available and one of the factors that affects the prioritization is network usage.
I tried pretty much every Broadcom driver available from HP and Dell to no avail; some reduced the frequency of the pops and crackles but none of them removed it completely.
I believe the solution lies within several registry keys that control the Multimedia Class Scheduler service. Open up regedit and modify the following keys:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile
Set NetworkThrottlingIndex and SystemResponsiveness to 10 each (decimal)
and
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Audio
Set SchedulingPriority to High.
After changing these 2 keys I couldn't here any audible stutter regardless of whichever driver I used. I am currently using v1.96 for the Realtek and 4.170.77.3 for the Broadcom.

You can use XP but it has to be in a Virtual Machine and OS X as the host instead of as a dual boot system with XP in its own partition. That is how I run Windows on my Mac, in a Virtual Machine.
Take a look at VritualBox from Oracle. It's free and works very well.
