Photos on CD made by Dell Desktop - trying to open in Macbook Pro
I have a CD-R with photos that was made on a Dell desktop computer.
When I put the CD in my MacBook Pro it doesnt read the CD. Is there a way to convert
these photos so that my MBkPro can read the CD?
I'm not real sure about all this. Hopefully someone w more knowledge will answer but here are a couple of suggestions.
When you have the CD in your MacBookPro there are several places you can look to see if it shows up.
You can open the finder to see if the CD shows up there. If so, you can double click on it to see if that opens it up.
Do you just want to look at them from the CD? Or do you want to copy them to your Mac.
Also, when you put the CD in the HP, try looking at the list of the photos to see the format. jpg is pretty universal but there are some formats that are not.
& it may also be the way that the CD was burned.
But also you might have more success looking under iPhoto or other groups. Try a search there & you might find out more specifics. This is not mac model specific but sounds like a difference between Windows & Mac formats or the way the CD was burned.

How do i migrate photos in a folder on my desktop over to my new macbook pro
how do i migrate photos in a folder on my desktop over to my new macbook pro
Hi d,
Connect the two Macs using FireWire Target Disk Mode http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Then just drag the folder from your old Mac to your new Mac (it depends which you use for target and which for source, but one will show up as a HD icon on the desktop of the other; you can copy to/from that HD to/from the other Mac (the folder on your desktop). -
Keynote made on my ipad3 won't open on Macbook pro
I created keynotes presentation on my iPad 3, sent via email (i selected keynote format) to my self so I can open and revise it on my MacBook Pro, once I try to open it says unable to pen because it is not a valid format or something. I have all apple stuff..it should be the same format!,,!,,,,!
Any ideas?
Another issue: I plug a USB stick on my iPad 3, it won't open it, it says it requires too much power?
ThanksWhere ar eyou looking on your iPad to see your music. Many people mistakenly look in iTunes app when they should be looking in Music app.
If you are doing it correctly, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Resync and try again to see if the problem persists. -
I have photos on a cd which I'm trying to open . If I click on them I can see the picture in the preview, but when I double click it doesn't recognise the picture. They are all in .jpg format. Tried copying them but it said some data cannot be read. The files exist but I just can't seem to view them
Select one and hit the Space bar to view it in QuickLook. Use the forward arrow keys to move from file to file. If the file can't be viewed in the QuickLook mode then the file is damaged and probably can't be copied or moved.
You could try a photo file recovery application like MediaRECOVER which can scan the memory card and tell you what files, if any, can be recovered before you have to purchase it.

I tried to sync my Macbook Pro photos in iPhoto with my iPod Touch. I have done this numerous times, but today I got an error message saying the required file cannot be found. At the same time all of my photos on my iPod vanished. Can anyone help me?
Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port. -
Trying to backup my MacBook Pro onto my External Harddrive, error
I am trying to backup my Macbook Pro onto my External harddrive (the same one I always do), and for some reason all of the sudden I get the error message that says that the backup disk is not available. When I click on the time machine icon at the top it just says that the latest back up is just delayed. What should I do?
Your query strongly suggests that you are using thiis particular HHD for Time Machine backups. It seems that your MBP simply is not recognizing the HDD.
When connected it should appear on you desktop.
If it does not, I would connect another HDD to determine if there is an issue with the Time Machine drive. If another drive is recognized then use the same USB cord with the Time Machine drive. If still no success, make an appointment with the Apple Store Genius bar and bring the drive along with your MBP.

I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air. I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work. The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything. What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder. So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air? Whew!
iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences. -

Depends on your model TV. Read your TV user manual. The newer models have "how to hookup" instructions for computer & games.

Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,any ideas? thanks, Derek
Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek -
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. -

I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro running on OS 10.8.2 to a Linksys EA3500 router and when I go to click on the set up icon I get an "unsupported operating system". Any suggestions on what to do? The Linksys site is useless. Do I need some kind of upgrade?
Don't use the CD software its not necessary.
Infact put it in the trash.
Your router will have an IP address in the range 192.168.1.1
Connect your router to your Mac via Ethernet cable (They usually supply one with the router and don't worry which end goes where the Mac LAN socket is bi-directional)
Also connect your router to your telephone line.
Now open your Web browser Safari . Type in the IP address above and a Javascript control panel will launch
Enter the default password and username (They are on a label on the router )
Your now have the ability to set up your router.
Your will need the password and user name supplied to you by your ISP at a minimum.
Enter these and most modern routers automatically configure the basic networking setting.
You now need to go to the security setting and set this as WPA2 Personal (NOT Enterprise) or WPA2 with AES and TKIP which ever it refers to and create a pass-phase. WRITE it down
You should be online.
Now remove the cable and connect to the Wifi and enter that passphase. -

I'm a bit unclear on song capacity. I'm pretty sure my ipod mini 4gb was promoted as holding 2000 songs. Now the 4gb models have a claimed 1000 song capapicty and you now need 8gb to hold 2000 songs. What's the real deal? Thanks.
