New MacBook Pro not working with iPhone remote

Hi all,
I absolutely cannot get the iPhone remote app to work with itunes for whatever reason!
it's driving me crazy never had any issues on my old macbook, its defo on the same wifi, i can ping it etc, I'm faily handy with OSX and the like as i'm a software developer, so I know it's not a firewall issue and the phone is on wifi.
it just doesn't pop up to let me enter the code in iTunes under devices when I'm trying to register the Phone with the machine,
for the record the phone has been synced with the itunes library in question and I have clicked the forget all remotes button in iTunes prefs, and the 'look for iphone remotes' box is checked
so I've pretty much done everything bar uninstall itunes, is that really necessary? is it worth deleting the itunes prefs file??
Thanks for any advice,
Cheers,
John

Have you tried wiping the remote app from the iphone and starting over ?

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
if you have one already you can rename either one ..
and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

Right click on XP under BootCamp with new MacBook Pro not working?

Is anyone else seeing this on the new MacBook Pro? (I have the 2.53 model):
I installed WinXP via BootCamp (BC). All went well. I installed the drivers from the Leopard install disk, which seemed to have the latest everything (BC 2.1.1?).
There is a "secondary click" function under the BC control panel in Windows for the trackpad, but it doesn't work at all.
Ctrl-Click also does not work. All other clicking is fine, but it's only left clicks that are allowed.
This reminds me of my original MacBook Pro and Boot Camp beta...

Three fingers and physical click. It's the same in Vista (except Vista's LAN driver works).
Eagerly awaiting the next version of Boot Camp! It's clear it was rushed, from both this and if you insert the CD and autorun (in Vista at least) it pops up with a couple of utilities for a Macbook Air.

Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
I am running Snow leopard.
I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
Thanks

Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
Hope that helps.

Is there any updates since February 2014 re: macbook pro not working with Smartboard?

My computer recognizes that it is attached but will not display what is on the desktop. I am currently running Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro and trying to project in onto a Smart Board 600 series. The MacBook Pro used to work with Smart Board; now, all of a sudden it does not work. And, sometimes it will project, but many times it simply will not. I am using a brand new adapter, and projection works with my Epson Powerlite 78 at home.
Smart Board refers me to Apple Support believing the conflict to be hardware. Incidentally, I downloaded Smartboard software to my MacBook Pro previously, but uninstalled it because it was causing crashes to my computer. But, users do not have to download SmartBoard software for projection.
Are there any possible solutions to my inquiry? Thank you for any considerations.

Hi, well basically our family got BT infinity about 2 weeks ago, and it worked with my macbook for about 3 days or so, but after that just suddenly stopped working. It says it's connected in airport and gives full connection, but chrome, spotify, skype, etc do not work. However the rest of the computers in the house which run on windows do work. For the last week or so I have been using a neighbour's open wireless (Netgear) which has been pretty consistent if a little slow. So basically, is there anything i can do? i've pretty extensively looked at all the forums regarding MBPs and routers, and it seems it may be a mac fault (meaning i may be in the wrong forum.) but any help would be appreciated. thanks.
Hi there,
It sounds to me like you're having troubles with the wireless channels on the Home Hub.
Here's what I'd suggest you do: Download istumbler on your Mac (or inssider 2 on your PC) and use this to check which wireless channel you're currently on and if need be, change to a less congested channel.
I hope this info helps.

Why is my new Macbook pro not reading my iphone 3GS device but my Windows desktop does not seem to have this problem?

Whenever I plug my iphone 3GS into my windows PC I have no problem syncing and backing up my apps etc but whenever I plug it into my new macbook pro, it simply cannot read my device at all and everything is fully updated. Help please. Thank you

I cannot recall the DVD player ever being a place to "store" videos - it is simply an app to play videos.
If your machine is new, then iMovie should be included as the "shrunk" version of iLife is included with Lion (iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto). However, iMovie is not a place to store videos either - it is a video editor. You import your clips and edit them in order to then burn to a DVD or share via a social media site.
Have you considered simply dragging the clips to your folder "Movies"? That would be a great place to just store them (please be aware that videos are usually large files, so keep your hard drive space in mind so you keep a minimum free and available for the OS to operate properly):

New MacBook Pros not compatible with Adobe CS6

I am having constant crashes with inDesign cs6 on new MacBook Pro. Lost a lot of the functionality of my printer—NO LONGER DUPLEXES! That was the purpose of that printer. Anyone with similar experiences. Shame on Apple for not coordinating efforts with Adobe before release!!!

Shame on Adobe. Have you posted in their support forum?

Messages on MacBook Pro not syncing with iPhone

Hi,
I'm using an iPhone 5 running IOS 8.3 and a MacBook Pro running 10.10.3.
In the past I have been using messages on my MacBook and my iPhone. If I sent a text via my phone, it showed up in messages on my Mac and vise versa. Since the iWatch has come out and I upgraded my IOS on my phone, the messages work on both devices but I cannot "see" them on both. In other words, if I start a conversation using messages on my mac, it works fine, but they don't show up on my phone. Same holds true in the reverse.
I have deleted the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist from my User Library and rebooted. I double checked settings on my phone, and my apple ID and my cell phone number are set up for both sending and receiving. I turned my phone onto Airplane mode and back on, and restarted all devices multiple times.
While I'm not crippled and can send/receive messages from both devices, I would like to get them so conversations are showing up on both devices.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
TIA
Nancy

Macbook Pro not working with replacement logic board

Hello everyone! About two months ago, someone spilled tea over my macbook pro. Upon taking it to the Apple store the representative told me that it would cost me over $1,000 to repair it and that I would be better off getting a new one (I know most of you have heard that many times). I inspected the Macbook and I realized that when I tried turning it on the keyboard would not light up and, but the sleep light was on. Furthermore, I heard the hard drive and the fans spinning. The tea only spilled on the right side of the Macbook so I figured that would help me narrow down the issue. The apple representative told me that I needed to replace the logic board so I went and bought a replacement one that was the same model. Before I screwed all the pieces back in, I wanted to try it out and see if it would turn on. Unfortunately I still have the same problem. It seems that the logic board is not the problem, but I am not sure what it might be. I'm pretty sure the CD/DVD drive is damaged, but I don't see why that would prevent the Macbook from turning on. I did a little research and I notice that most people test the graphics card to see if it is working, but I don't know how to do that. I have an older Macbook Pro, the motherboard is model 820-1993-A and I believe the model of the Macbook is A1150. Please help, this macbook was a gift and I don't want to throw it out!

Well I would like to find out what the piece is that is causing me the problem so that I could replace it! I already replaced the most expensive piece and the hard drive seems to be working fine so it doesn't leave many things. I just would like to know how I would be able to check to see if the video card is damaged.

Brightness keys on new MacBook Pro not working.

I just received my first Mac in the mail two days ago. Its the 13 inch Macbook Pro with Retina Display. I've found that the brightness keys do nothing. The icon pops up on the screen, but the brightness does not change. I can chnage the brightness with the slider in system settings, but the keys won't function. This thing is essentially just out of the box, so I'm wondering if this is a known issue or if I got a lemon? Any work arounds would be appreciated. Thanks

Schlombo,
I’d misinterpreted what you were after — to change the screen brightness rather than to change the keyboard brightness — so there are plenty of knuckles to go around for both of our heads. I hope that that will be the steepest part of the learning curve for you!

Macbook pro not working with BT infinity/ router?

For the last week or so I have been using a neighbour's open wireless (Netgear) which has been pretty consistent if a little slow.

HI , Welcome to the HP Support forums!

MacBook Pro Not Working with Dell V715W Printer?

Hello. I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 13-inch that's hooked up to a Dell V715W Printer. I can print out a test page fine, but nothing else. It always says "Filter Failed." Sometimes, however, a message comes up with a TON of code and details with the subject saying: "CUPSdriver quit unexpectedly." What should I do to fix this? Please help me!

Reset the printing system. Google for instructions.

Does the new Macbook Pro still work with HDMI input?

Im wondering that ever since that new thunderbolt port has come out on the newest macbook, would connecting an HDMI adapter in the port still work for the newest model?

For HDMI output from the MBP to a monitor or TV, yes. For HDMI input from another device into the MBP, I'm not sure. That certainly wasn't possible before Thunderbolt, and I don't know whether or not Thunderbolt makes it possible now.

Mail from Macbook Pro not syncing with iPhone

I am trying to set up my Mail account (which is set with Gmail) from my computer to sync with my iPhone. Unfortunately the iPhone goes is synced with Gmail and says that I have over 2000 emails. How can I get my iPhone to sync with my Mail app from my computer?
Also, I have deleted the account from my iPhone, but it still shows up on my iTunes. When I sync the iPhone, the mail settings are put back into my iPhone. How can I erase the gmail settings from my iTunes?
Thanks for your help.
Jude

You don't sync account mailboxes and messages with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account via the iTunes sync process. You can transfer account setup info only from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
Using the iPhone's mail client to access an email account is no different from using the Mail.app on your Mac for accessing the account. With a POP account, new messages recieved at the incoming mail server are downloaded, and when accessing a POP account with a new email client for the first time, all messages that remain at the incoming mail served for the account will be downloaded as new messages, since the new email client being used has never accessed the account - in this case, with the iPhone's mail client.
With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
You deselect transferring the account settings for this account from your computer to your iPhone at the same place where you selected this - under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
