  • My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT!, My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT!

    My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT (Epson EB510)!  Instead, colored bars go across the screen against a black background.  No matter how much I try to adjust the displays, PPT won't show on it.  However, my friend's Macbook Air works fine. She's 10.7.2, I'm 10.7.4, so we're both more or less OS X Lion.  What could be wrong?  Can I do anything to fix it?

    Make sure that your display is not mirrored. Mirroring forces you into "lowest common denominator" screen resolutions that can safely be displayed on BOTH screens, which may not be good enough for the projector.
    When you turn off Mirroring, you get Extended Desktop, where the two screens are joined along an edge to form a larger Extended Desktop. To use this, drag a window onto the "other" screen.

  • I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel?

    I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel? Is Parallel in fact the best way to go?

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

    I have a new MacBook Pro and need to know what I need to do to open Microsoft Office files?

    Use a product such as OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, iWork, or Microsoft Office 2008 or newer. In the case of Word documents, you can also use TextEdit.

  • What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos.

    What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos. Using USB connection.

    That's a difficult one but I'd always go for HP as they make so many excellent models that you'll always be able to buy the cartridges from almost anyone.  Theyre darn good printer too.  I have four in the office here and one of them is a very neat flatbed with exceptionally high tonal qualities.  One of their cheaper models is the HP 5520 A4 inkjet all-in-one - CMYK.  Good value at £70 and 4800 x 1200 DPI. 

  • I need a new Macbook but -.I need advice regarding the new fixed configurations

    I have a MacBook from 2007 and it probably needs replacing as I'm starting to see problems, little hints that any day it might completely stop working.  I was ready to buy a new computer but after reading about the new MacBook Pros, it seems like Apple has forgotten its roots.
    Let's say you get 8 GB of RAM which is probably enough for my purposes( but I'm still not sure, I might get 16 though its very expensive) and there is a problem with the RAM.  Do you really have to replace the entire logic board and what are we talking in terms of parts and labor assuming you are out of warranty?  This happened to my current Macbook and it was very cheap because I was able to snap new chips in but everything is soldered  on the new Macbooks and I don't want to buy a computer that I might be throwing away in 2 years.
    The same questrion applies in regard to the CPU.  If it fails, is this going to be a huge repair bill?
    Another major concern regards complaints from dissapointed customers who are unhappy with the glare of the screen.  As I have eye problems, this could be a big issue for me.
    Finally, but less of a problem, Its disappointing that you need to purchase an ethernet adaptor and have to buy an external CD/DVD drive. People look at me like I'm crazy when I talk about CD drives, but I listen to a lot of classical music which you cannot get on the net, and, even if you can, it is of low quality.  You have to go to a store like Amoeba to find the CD.   Not a huge deal, but a bit annoying and these little things add up.
    I'm starting to think I may have to take a look at PC's,  something, I never thought I'd do again.

    I'd recommend 8 GB RAM, based upon all the information available today it should be sufficient for a very long time. OS X "Mavericks" uses system resources extremely efficiently and the MBP's flash memory goes a long way toward masking a paucity of RAM. Apple claimed that Mavericks' new memory compression algorithm results in an effective increase of 50% more memory than what is actually installed, a claim that I have empirically determined to be accurate, perhaps a bit conservative. In other words 8 GB memory will perform as if 12 GB were actually installed, if not for OS X's memory compression algorithm. Even 4 GB is sufficient for Mavericks whereas it was barely adequate for Mountain Lion.
    If you were to ask an iPad or iPhone owner how much memory it has, and if they actually understood what you were asking, most would not know, or care. Nor should they. Such is the future of the Mac product line.
    The same questrion applies in regard to the CPU.  If it fails, is this going to be a huge repair bill?
    It certainly will. Fortunately I have never heard of a single case in which a Mac's CPU has failed.
    Another major concern regards complaints from dissapointed customers who are unhappy with the glare of the screen.
    All you can do is try it for yourself. Matte screens have disadvantages too. If you don't like your MBP, return it for a full refund, no questions asked. You have 14 days to decide.
    Classical music used to been a challenge to find on iTunes, but Apple has been getting better. You can still buy an external CD drive to import your music; they're not terribly expensive.
    Any computer design is a study in compromises and an optical drive simply isn't worth the tradeoffs. People howled about Apple's decision to eliminate floppy disk drives too, even as they were ridiculed for originally promoting the 3 1/2" floppy disk format. What Apple creates, Apple destroys, lest someone else do it for them.
    In any event optical discs are antiquated and obsolete, so get used to the idea.
    I'm starting to think I may have to take a look at PC's,  something, I never thought I'd do again.
    Choice is good. Knock yourself out.

  • My sweet stable Imac7,1 + new Macbook Air Beachballs, needs SMC Resets, Browser 100 CPU...ideas?

    Hi Everyone,
    Imac7,1 10.5 patched fully (OS / Security / Java /Flash ) has been working like a system should for the past few years. No reboots needed. Always on. I basically use it to watch video, play audio, nothing CPU intensive. I was Internet Connection Sharing to one netbook, but as of last week added a new Macbook Air OS X 10.7.
    If not that night after buying the Air, or the day after... The Imac beachballs permanently if I'm playing video files or using the internet, and the only way to get it back is an SMC reset. Anything other than an SMC reset just gets me to the prelogin wheel spin.
    I've turned off Internet Connection Sharing, switched users, ran Disk Repair (only permissions on some java folders needed fixing), tried Safe Mode, looked in the logs for obvious things, but no luck yet.
    Finally got around to watching the Activity Monitor when Firefox was playing back some Flash video and I actually saw the CPU above 100. Killing the process saved me from doing another reset
    Any ideas what I should try? OS upgrade? Flash downgrade?
    Is there anyway to prevent applications from using that much CPU and automatically shutting it down when it does?
    Also curious if verbose logins, without the SMC reset, would give me any information...
    Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks Appleworld.

    Hello,
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1896.html
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • Sync iphone 4s with new macbook pro help needed

    I have a new iPhone 4s and a new MacBook Pro.
    I have synced the iPhone 4s with my old MacBook.
    It won't now sync all of that data with my new MacBook Pro.
    I do not want to transfer all data from my old computer to my new computer.
    How can I move just iPhone 4s data?
    I have tried iExplorer to try and get the data directly from the phone,
    but I am not tech savvy to put the info. in the right folders of itunes, etc.
    Any step by step help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Bought iwork ('05) for ibook; now new macbook won't let me register it

    would appreciate help:
    bought '05 iworks, made several syllabi via pages (not the newest pages 2 found in newer 06 iworks that came as trial on my macbook), but now
    am being told when i try to register/install my iworks '05 that my key is invalid; as a result, since trial time for iworks ;06 is over, i have to buy new key code, OR only open syllabi without capacity to save in pdf form (to send it out for job applications, etc.)!
    i have attempted to reinstall older iworks again; have dumped new trial iworks '6 (what could i do? was thinking it was overriding '05 version, and i can't very well spend another 80 buying new version -- student loans only go so far, right??) looked for update for original pages (WHERE IS IT??) on apple site, but no luck. please help.
    m.

    Do you still have the old iBook available with iWorks '05 installed/registered?
    If so, then I think you could use the Migration Assistant to transfer your old apps. All you need is a firewire cable... search your mac's help section for "migration assistant".
    Also, why do you need the updater for Pages 1.0 if you can't even get it to register from the install disk? Anyway, I think this might be the updater you need:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/pages102.html
    If by chance you CAN get 1.0 installed and registered, then I think you should be able to update it by simply running the software update application.

  • New MacBook user desperately needing help

    I've had my macbook (late 2008/early 2009) just over a week and connected to the internet fine on setup. I have a belkin n router but i can only ever seem to connect to the internet in one room and even then it's temperamental and sometimes won't connect. On the Airport icon it says it's connected to the network but no web pages will load. I have an iPod touch, PS3 and a windows laptop that all connect fine all over the house. Really need a hand, cheers.

    That's good to hear. WEP is often troublesome - at least in part because the "standard" was often implemented in different ways by different manufacturers.
    Re: anti-virus... well that all depends. As far as I know - there are no OS X viruses (where a virus is defined as self-installing, self-replicating malicious software). However, there are some trojan horses (malicious software that you have to explicitly install, usually on the pretext of installing software for some a legitimate purpose).
    So... if you download lots of "free" software or other material from the net... a virus checker can be useful.
    But if you are download only well known open source/shareware/commercial software and avoid "free" movies / adult content... then you probably don't need a virus checker.
    That said, if you share a network with lots of Windows PC's then a virus checker is a good idea (although OS X can't be infected, it is certainly capable of passing viruses on through emails or Microsoft Office documents).
    Cheers,
    Rodney

  • Printing my own photos on new macbook pro.  need theme?

    I just bought my macbook pro.  I've used a mac in past and printed photos directly from Iphoto.  I cannot print and it says I need a theme.  Ugh.. why can't this just work the same?!?! Help please.

    > Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

  • New macbook pro user, need advice

    So this is my very first macbook pro, it's a 2009 model 2.53GHz and 4GB RAM. I seem to be getting used to it the more I use it, however I did notice sometimes it heats up a bit which I understand is normal due to the loads it is doing. This brings me to my first question, I am thinking of purchasing somethings like a external cooling fan to help it out, is this a good idea and if so which would you recommend?
    I know I also had another question, but even if my life depended on it right now I cannot remember, it will come to me eventually.

    Double click the disk drive icon, inside you will find the installer .pkg
    .dmg is a disk image file it opens as a disk and mounts on your desktop.

  • What Macbook do i need? And whats frontside bus?

    I am buying a new macbook and I need it to run great and fast for evcerything i do. Here is my average use. What macbook and how much ram, gbs, ghz etc. do i need? Also, what is frontside bus and how much of that do i need?
    Here is my average use: (all, at once)
    Using MAC OS X:
    -Chatting on MSN Messenger
    -Reading/Sending emails. (Using Mail or gmail.com)
    -Heavy internet use (5-10 windows open at once, some using macromedia lash)
    -Using iPhoto to edit photos
    -Occasionally running iDVD in the background and switching to it every so often.
    Average use using boot camp (Windows XP Pro):
    -Running TheSims2 Pets (need it to run fast)
    OR:
    -Streaming office spreadsheets or power point presentions
    -On MSN Messenger with Webcam
    -Heavy internet use

    What MacBook do I need: ____
    How much RAM do I need: ____
    Frontside bus: ____
    How Much GHz do I need: ____
    How Many GBs do I need: ____
    What graphics card do i need: ___
    Other: ______

    Here's what I'd suggest:
    Macbook Pro 15.4"
    2.0ghz
    1gig of RAM (2 gigs is great, but 1 would do)
    80GB or 100GB Hard Drive (depending on how much space you plan to use for Windows XP)
    The 2.0ghz comes with the ATI X1600 mobile 128mb card. This will be fine for running the sims.
    Basically you could use a standard macbook with the same specs. The only concern I would have is running the Sims 2. The Macbook's integrated video controller(Intel GMA950) may not do so hot while playing the Sims. I'm not sure how well the gma950 does with 3d games.
    Macbook 13"
    2.0ghz
    1gb RAM (again i recommend 2)
    80-100GB HD
    Hope this helps.
    Brian
    edit: The front side bus is the bus (channel) that carries electronic signals from the CPU to all other hardware devices (RAM, Video card, HDD, etc) All macbook models (13" and pro models) have a 667mhz Frontside Bus.
