Plantronics Voyager Pro vs. Macbook Pro sound output

I just bought the Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset to use with my iPhone in the car. It works great. As an experiment, I tried pairing it additionally with my 2007 Macbook Pro. I can hear sound output from some apps but not others, for example, I can hear music in iTunes, but not YouTube videos in Safari. It seems like I should be able to hear all sound output, not just some. Any suggestions appreciated.

The "bug" is specific to sites that stream such as youtube. The sound on my jawbone works with every application including safari but not when I navigate to a website that streams.

Officejet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air will not print

Products:
HP Officejet Pro 8600
Macbook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
Macbook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)
Question:
Why did my Macs initially print fine, but now will not print at all?
Full Story:
I have a wireless network at my house that consisted of a 30mb cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 Dell Laptops with Windows 7, a Lenovo Laptop with Windows 7, and Dell Tower with Windows 7 - All printed just fine.
The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.
I added a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago. Both Macs printed just fine for about a week. Then suddenly they stopped. I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP Service, and they finally said it must be my router. So I called Netgear. Netgear was useless! They wanted me to agree to charges for services before they would even discuss the issue.
Due to information provided by HP's service support, and because Netgear will not support their product, I promptly purchased a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.
The Macs recognize the printer, will print if hardwired via a USB cable, but will not print wirelessly to the Officejet Pro 8600. The PCs print fine.
The frustration that is being felt is compound by the fact that the Macs printed just fine with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks ago, and now the printer just shows "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)
Please help, I appreciate any support.
As a side note, the HP Service rep was very friendly, and definitely tried to support the HP Product, which is much more than I can say about Netgear.
Thank you,
This question was solved.

Hi,
More likely the issue related with Multicast, which Apple devices relies on to communicate with teh device through the network.
First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.
Plug it back to the power and wait for 2-3 minutes.
Turn the HP printer Off and back On, then check for any difference.
If the same persists, try changing your router configuration as following
Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you the steps as a best effor and those are only based on my own knowledge. you may try modifying the router settings at your own risk:
Open the router configuration page (can be found listed as the Default Gateway by clicking the Wireless icon on the printer, then print a network configuration report.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the Setup option from the menu, then click on WAN Setup.
Make sure to uncheck the box next to Disable IGMP Proxying and Apply the changes.
Click the LAN Setup on the same Setup menu.
Set the RIP Version as RIP-2 and Apply the changes.
Reboot your router and then check for any change.
I hope you may find that information useful, you may also use the user guide below for further information:

Does it worth to move from macbook pro to macbook pro retina?

Hey
I have macbook pro with
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB
and its good but many people are saying macbook pro 2013 with retina display is the best laptop and has many features so do you advice me to move from macbook pro to macbook pro 2013 with retina display?
thanka

It's a very sweet machine, of course. Although the upgrade path is a bit dicey. Just my opinion, but unless you have very demanding graphics needs (in which case you probably should have a desktop system with a huge monitor), I don't see the point of spending all the money. Probably you would get more value if you take your current machine and max out the RAM and get an SSD.
It's hard to advise anyone in such matters via the internet.
Here are some good reviews:

I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences. If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section. Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.

Will Lion 10.7.x run on MacBook Pro 17", MacBook Pro 2,1 with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz ?

Will Lion 10.7.x run on a 63-month old MacBook Pro 17", MacBook Pro 2,1 (2GB RAM) with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz ?
Currently running Leopard 10.5.8 and about to update to Snow Leopard.

It will run, if that's what you want. I'd think twice though. If you want to try Lion, upgrade your RAM to the max: 4GB's(Apple says 3, but your machine will run 4), however only a little over 3GB's will be able to be addressed(limitation of your computer). IMO, Lion needs a minimum of 4GB's of RAM to function properly. In your case, you'd be a little shy. I'd suggest you go to SL & stay there.

Cannot use Plantronics Voyager Pro w/macbook Pro

My plantronics voyager pro pairs and works just fine with both my blackberry and a Windows laptop. i was even able to dictate with it.
Today I tried pairing it with my Macbook and got no joy. It pairs, and I select it as my output device in system preferences, but I get no sound in my ear. Anyone?

I'm not sure what happened before, but I followed a very specific setup order and it paired with Snow Leopard.
1. I opened Bluetooth under System Preferences
2. I put the headset in pairing mode (held down power button till I got red/blue flashing)
3. I clicked the + to add devices
4. It found it right away and paired
5. I then clicked the button in my ear (the one you use to answer/hang up a call)
6. It then automatically started working
For skype I had to tell it to use the BT mike in Skype preferences, but itunes just started playing in my ear.

Does anyone know why my macbook pro doesn't use sound output anymore?

Hi, I have a Macbook Pro w/ Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I don't know why or how, but the sound just stopped working. I can use headphones or my bluetooth speaker, but the speaker coming out of the keyboard doesn't sound anymore. Anyone else have the same problem or know the solution? Any advice is good. Thank you.

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Make sure Mute is not enabled.
If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.

How to install Windows 8.1 Pro on Macbook Pro

Hello everyone,
I'm new to these forums and new to bootcamping as well but have been reading all kinds of posts about how to install Windows 8.1 on their Macs using bootcamp. I am however having trouble with this situation as I have no clue what to do next. I have a Macbook Pro 2011, running on Maverics, and I recently downloaded a digital copy of Windows 8.1 Pro, 64-bit, for the Mac platform, along with its CD key through my University's hub website as can be seen here.
After finishing the downloading process, I received this file which is about 4GB large.
When i double click on the file this happens. It opens something on DEVICES which gives me what is on the 2nd image.
At this point, I'm at a loss on what to do next. Do i burn the file on a DVD hoping that Bootcamp will recognize it as a windows disc? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

You need a 'Full' Installer.

It's not possible to upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows. Back up your important files, then perform a new install of the 64-bit version of Windows.

I tried to download video from RCA Small Wonder EZ201 to my new macbook pro. Macbook pro recognizes the device but then message appears that device was improperly ejected when it is still connected. How can I download these videos?

When I connect the RCA Small Wonder to my MacBook Pro, the device is recognized in finder as EZ201. I tried to copy the video files in the folder but within a minute or two, I receive a message that the disk was ejected improperly, even though the device is still connected. I was able to download the first few videos before it stopped working and was able to play them using Perian. However, when I tried to connect the device again, it froze my system and I had to force a shut down by turning the computer off. Why is the device initially recongized but then shows as improperly ejected when it is still connected? How can I download the videos if the MacBook Pro won't allow the device to stay connected?

A picture of a screen that suggests my new MBP Retina never connects to the "Macbook Pro backup ("StefanTimeCapsule")
This is the one that has the files for the backups procured by the Time Machine program. But it can't "connect"-- You 'll see int he sideways pic (sorry!) that the options STILL says "connecting"
Do i have to make these Time Machines more open to connection?

How to Clone Hard Drive from Macbook Pro to Macbook Pro with Retina

Hey everyone! I had a question about cloning my laptop's hard drive. I was considering buying a MBP with Retina, but was wondering how I would accomplish copying over my current hard drive to the retina, as I know you can't take out the retina's hard drive, and it is flash. Any suggestions?

Connect the two with a Firewire cable if they both have Firewire ports (or use Thunderbolt if the both have Thunderbolt ports.) Boot the new computer into Target Disk Mode and the old computer normally. The new computer's disk drive should appear on the Desktop of the old computer.
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new computer's drive Source means the old computer's drive.
Be sure the old computer is running a version of Mountain Lion that is later than the version installed on the new computer. After cloning you will probably need to run the new 10.8.2 updater for the new computer. OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Update for 13" Macbook Pro with Retina Display, 21.5" iMac (Late 2012), Mac mini (Late 2012).

What's the difference between the regular Macbook Pro and Macbook Pro Retina?

I don't know which one to buy ..

It depends on what you are doing with your MacBook Pro. If you are doing video or picture editing, I would suggest going with the Retina Display. It's faster, has a clearer resolution, a Solid State Hard Drive, a HDMI Port (But if you have Mountain Lion and an Apple TV, you can just use AirPlay Mirroring), but it doesn't have a disk drive. If you need one, you can always buy one and hook it up via USB. The regular MacBook Pro is still a great product, but it doesn't have as good of a screen quality, is still your classic revolving hard drive, doesn't have a HDMI port, and has a disk drive. And there's the price difference as well, The MacBook Pro with Retina Display starts at $1,499.00, and the regular MacBook Pro starts at $1,199.00.

How to transfer/migrate from Late 2008 MacBook Pro to MacBook Pro, with retina?

Is there anyway of directly connecting a Late 2008 MacBook Pro to a MacBook Pro, with retina, in a Target Disk Mode way without having to wait for the magical adapter in July?
Should I go to the Apple Store, buy a normal MacBook Pro, use it to do the transfer, and return it?
Thanks to anyone for taking the time to answer.

There is Setup Assistant when you first boot the new Mac, over wireless it's supposed to migrate for you, however I hear it can take hours and days to complete.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/MacBook_Pro_Retina_QuickStart.pdf
Another faster method would be to use the free/donations Carbon Copy Cloner the old Mac to a blank USB3, 2,1 drive, then hook it up to the new Mac and use Setup Assistant (or Migration Assistant) that way, it will think it's another Mac.
You can also simply drag and drop files into a same named account on the new machine manually from the clone.
It should take about a hour per 250GB to clone, about another hour for Setup Assistant.
Over wireless it could take a eternity.

Installing Windows XP Pro On MacBook Pro

Hi Folks. I am an exclusive Mac user and have been since 1992. I have had to dabble with Windows XP Pro on laptops when "forced" to by clients and I don't know much about the Windows OS and don't really care to either, and that's why I prefer the Mac OS. If it doesn't run on a Mac, I have no need to play the game or whatever, in fact many files now MS Office, Photoshop, etc are cross platforma anyway.
Well, now since my friend has dropped off his brand new MacBook Pro for me to repartition and "lean" up the system and configure the machine strictly for FinalCut Pro, I repartitioned the HD and partitioned the Mac OS to about 106GB and the Windows partition at just under 6GB. HD is a 120GB, 2 GB RAM, 2.3 GHz
Here is the issue though. After close to 40 minutes setting up Windows up with the BootCamp download and the new Windows XP disk and after entering the ser number, there is about 2.8 GB space left on the Windows partition. I did a custom install and looked for anything I could slim down like foreign languages, etc. Now, since I am not a Windows installation expert, and have no desire to be one anyway, is there any particular files, extensions, anything unnesseccary I could uninstall in Windows to just keep as minimal as possible. After I put in the Authenticity code, it installed all kinds of stuff and I don't want to go back and repartition from scratch
What is the absolute minimal amout of space needed to run a Windows XP Pro partition on the MacBook Pro
Any help, please and thanks SteveB

Hi guys and thanks for your help. Yes, after authenication and working on this Windows partition, I have less than 3GB space. Also, I cannot drag and drop files from desktop, like a text file into the Windows partition. Says it doesn't have permissions to drop files.
It looks like now I will in fact have to start from scratch and repartition the HD but put in a minimal 12GB or so into the Windows partition. Also, I tried to name the Windows label, but it's locked and under get info, it says the Windows partition is read only, ownership grayed out and says it is NT coded format. Shouldn't that be MS-DOS or FAT 32 automatically?
I have to tell all of you that this is getting time consuming, too complicated and when I get my own ProBook, I have no desire to install VISTA or MS whatever. Plus, we have to still do the MS security pack updates and install virus software for the Windows partition, isn't that correct?
Is there a step by step link here like a BootCamp/Windows XP Pro installation tutorial so I can move a bit faster on my next attempt?
Thanks SteveB

Macbook Pro to Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

Hi I am an architect, I just bought a new Macbook Pro on January. I was wondering if there is a way of upgrading it or changing it for the new Retina display version?

Yes you can certainly get the new model. There is nothing stoppiing you from doing that.
Just sell your current MBP and then take that money and the extra needed and buy one of the new models.
Not sure why people keep posting this type of question.
You could also keep your current model and buy the new one. No one at the store will say "Don't you already own a MBP, so you can't buy a new one".
By the way Apple stores do not take trade ins. It is not a car dealership.
