Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8 goes black when trying to connect to HDTV

I do not have the "mirror" option, I also cannot find the com.apple file everyone says to delete (though I am in the correct folder with the other close named files) Can anyone help me out!
Thank you for your time.

    I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
    I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
    I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
    After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
    “Welcome to Aperture 3.2
    Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
    Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
    Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
    Current Library Location:
    Jadzia (home)   -----Pictures------Aperture Library
                                                      QUIT             UPGRADE”
    I have heard horror stories  about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
    So here is my dilemma.  I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
    Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

    Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop.  Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
    You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file.  For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto. 
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Hello everyone I need help! Why i cant Update to Mountain Lion if Im gonna try to update my Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5. It always says "Your Software is up to date" which is only Mac Os X ver. 10.7.5

    Not sure what exactly you did (or not), but it looks as if you should attempt doing it all again, only this time all right and by the book. Many millions have done so, and sure it'll work for you as well.
    If you've indeed purchased ML already, you'll find it exactly there in the App Store: under Purchases.

  • HT4567 I have a new iPad 2.  I also have an older Macbook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.8.  When I connect my iPad to my Mac, it says that I cannot use the iPad because I need iTunes v 7.0 or higher.  When I try to update iTunes, it says I have latest version 6.8.

    I cannot get my iPad 2 (brand new) to work with my MacBook pro.  It says I need iTunes 7.0, but when I go to  update iTunes on my MAC, it says I have teh latest version 10.6.3.  I have Mac OS 10.5.8 on my MacBook Pro.  Any help would be appreciated.  Do I need to upgrade my OS?  If so, which version?

    In order to download iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8, you have to buy OS X 10.6. It's available from the online Apple store, in the US by calling 800-MY-APPLE, or online here.  After OS X 10.6 installation, run Software Update until there are no more updates available, at which point you'll be at OS X 10.6.8 and can install iTunes 10.7.

  • May macbook pro with retina display now tells me 6 hours remaining when 100% charged, when i first bought it it used to tell me 8 hours left.. help?

    when i first bought my macbook pro with retina it used to tell me 8 hours left when it was 100% charged, now it tells me 6 hours left.. help?

    This is a Fault of the newer Mac's Power management scheme. There is a LONG Thread on it somewhere on this forum.
    Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then let it up. Then wait a few seconds and press it again. The system should start back up. If it doesn't then you have some type of hardware problem and you need to take it to Apple to be fixed or replaced.

  • New Macbook Pro with Mac OSX 10.5.5 - I'm new to Mac and am having problem

    My photobooth sometimes only records videos for six seconds though it tells me it is recording for as long as I have it recording. When I click stop, what's saved is six seconds. I've had this Macbook Pro for about a month now, and I'm new to Mac, as I've been with Windows all my life. Now, photobooth is also crashing, saying I can send a message to Apple or relaunch. I usually do both. My IMOVIE HD just crashed as well, and I am now noticing that these applications are crashing more often. What can I do? I checked disk utility, verified my disk, and nothing was wrong. I have 211 GB of free space. I don't know what to do and I need this to be fixed. What's wrong with my Macbook Pro?? I was told Macs have so much stability, but if this is what's happening after just a month, I don't know what to say. I also tried to download many screensavers from the Apple website, which ended up not working, and calling Apple did not help. I ended up removing all of the screen savers, so that was a whole unresolved issue. But now my main concern is with all of these crashes. I have run the software updates thing and I am up to date.
    What do I do??
    Thank you.

    Call Apple Care. They will either help you over the phone, or they will help you send it in for repair (it takes only a few days to do that - you usually have it back literally two or three days after you send it in)...What you are describing is something malfunctioning and that is NOT usual for a mac.

  • Are there any scanners that work on a MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.7.5?

    I was using a CanoScan Lide 35 scanner on my laptop just fine until a couple of weeks ago and now it is hit and miss with it.  I was looking for a scanner that would be compatible with Mac OS 10.7.5 and I haven't found anything that looks like it works.  I don't have time to read every single Google link that comes up and was hoping that someone here could help me out.  I'm looking for a scanner that is on the low end of the price scale but also good enough to do some graphic work.  I'd appreciate any info I can get.  Thanks!
    Erik

    You will fnd that most scanners from the name brands work...I have an Epson Photo scan that works just fine with Mac OS X 10.7.5, 10.8.5, and 10.9.2...but I always use the included Image Capture application, found in Finder > Applications.
