Problem using clamshell mode with 2010 Macbook Pro

I'm trying to use my mid 2010 Macbook Pro in clamshell mode with my Sanyo TV as a monitor. I have an external keyboard and mouse and I keep it plugged in when trying to do this. I have tried with mirrored and seperate displays, both with the TV as secondary and primary display, and whenever I close the lid the TV suddenly says that the input resolution has changed and is out of the range of the TV. I have tried changing the resolution on both the TV and computer when both displays are active and it has made no difference. Is there a way to make this work or a way to keep the computer from changing the output resolution when I close the lid?

I have discovered that the issue is that the computer won't wake from sleep mode. I still have no idea what the problem is but it also occurs if I put the computer to sleep with the display open.

Problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1

I run into problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1. Boot Camp Assistant shows error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.". So what is the problem and how can I work around it? I also tried to only chose "Install Windows 7" option, but it could not recognize my windows dvd (which I created from ISO). Any help is appreciated.

I can not use CanoScan N670U with my Macbook pro. I download canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon website. It keep saying "the scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

I can not use CanaScan N670U with my Macbook Pro. I download Canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon websit. It still keep saying "The scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

There is a solution (I'm running Snow Leopard on a Core2Duo iMac, but this problem arose when I was running Leopard on a G4 PowerBook too).
Problem:
You download the OS X driver for the scanner from Canon's site. I already had the CanoScan Toolbox (4.1) stored on an external drive.
You unzip the driver and run the VISE installer. After a search it finds your copy of Photoshop (and maybe even the CanoScan Toolbox), and you click to install on that/those location(s).
You get a couple of error messages, which you click through.
You restart your computer and try to run the scanner but you get an error that the driver is wrong or missing and the process will abort.
Solution:
BEFORE you restart, and with the installer package still open -
1. Copy the Into_CFMSupport_Login & Into_CMPrefs folders to
Applications : Canon Utilities
Applications : Canoscan Toolbox
and remove the prefix Into_ from each folder
2. Check whether the installer placed N067U_Library.shlb into the top level (not User level)
Library : CFMSupport
and if it didn't, move it there yourself
THEN restart, and try again. It worked for me (via Photoshop), but whether it will work for everyone, I don't know.

Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?

Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?
If so, are there any problems and/or limitations in doing so? (i.e. no stereo sound, or anything else?).

Can you use Bluetooth earphones simultaneously with the Magic Mouse (which is also Bluetooth)?
And, just out of curiosity, why can't you use the Bluetooth earphones on an airplane?

HT201335 can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv

can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

I'm using Logic 9 with a Macbook Pro. On one project I'm getting a message ' not enough processor power.' I've tried freezing all tracks but this seems to have no effect. I've also bounced all soft synths to audio.

I'm using Logic 9 with a Macbook Pro. On one project I'm getting a message 'not enough processor power' and the computer stops playing
I've tried freezing all tracks but this has no effect. I've also bounced all soft synth tracks to audio, but to no avail. The computer stops playing
even at the start of the track where there is nothing but a kick drum happening.......

Thank you for the suggestions.
I had previously tried all of the above but the airport/wireless thought. Unfortuneately, none of these things made a difference, including the wireless suggestion.
Currently, I am using my Mac's "cheapo" internal audio hardware (haha). I have a one year old 27-inch iMac, a good pair of bose speakers, and a polk sub. I don't believe it is an issue with my setup, considering I completely disconnected and unplugged it.
I did, however, do a little info hunting on the internal audio situation, since I was curious what is actually included, and I stumbled upon this interesting little tidbit about my model of iMac:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2718054?start=0&tstart=0
I had previously wondered if I was hearing my mouse in my speakers as well (not just in logic). It appears that this model of iMac may have some grounding issues, as someone later in the thread suggested purchasing and using a ground loop isolator, which seemed to fix any extra interference for them.
Ironically though, I have since opened logic, and do not seem to be encountering my previous static issue(yet).
Fingers crossed, hoping that I will not be experiencing it again. Going to purchase a ground loop isolator, and continue to mess around with logic, just to make sure it was not just an internal audio issue with my iMac.

Trouble opening EndNote with 2010 MacBook Pro, updated to Maverick

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro and recently upgraded to Maverick. Today, I attempted to open EndNote and was hit with the following error: "Unable to load: /Applications/EndNote X3/EndNoteX3.app/Contents/Resources/ENCore.bundle"
I downloaded the PagesEndNoteplugin2 to see if that allowed me to open EndNote and it still gave me the same error message.
I do not use Pages, I use Word.
I'm hoping someone can help!

While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.

Well I cannot offer any suggestion as to a fix, but FYI your video card has been in the news quite a bit the last few weeks. Heres an example:

Unable to use WAP Transitional with a MacBook Pro

I have a new Airport Extreme which I have configured as a bridge from my DSL modem (which supports NAT, a firewall and all that). I have been able to use it with my MacBook Pro when I have an open, unencrypted network, but when I turn on WAP I can no longer connect to the internet, or even to my cable modem for that matter.
I have been playing with all the various options with Airport Utility (and have done the firmware upgrade on the Airport Extreme). I've tried automatic channel allocation, and setting channel 3, 11, and so on. I've tried having the AE use DHCP to get its own IP address (which works) and assigning an IP on my local network, but neither will let my machine get through to the DHCP server!
My configuration is right out of the manual, but I have tried plugging in the internet connection to the LAN and WAN ports, just to be safe.
Needless to say, the Airport Extreme light is green and according to the status in the Airport Utility, everything is good to go. Except, that it isn't.
I also notice that I cannot connect to the Airport Extreme with an older 802.11b card, so it looks like WEP/WAP is still in the future, unless someone has a few hints on how to use this box.

I would like to delete the question. It is being posed under another account. Unfortunately, question deletion and forum alias change are unimplemented features.

23" HD cinema display power button with 2010 MacBook Pro

The power button on my 23" HD cinema display (clear enclosure) doesn't turn on my 2010 MacBook Pro. I don't use both screens at once much and would like to leave the laptop shut. Is there a workaround?

Thanks! I found I can also start up, close the lid (and sleep), then just click to wake the machine.

Problem with 2010 Macbook Pro 13'' 2.4GHZ Intel Core Duo 4GB RAM

Hi everyone, i use a 13'' macbook pro for work, and it has been flickering from time to time (a lot), everytime i go to the dock, especially when im using Pages 09. I recorded a video of it on youtube. Can you please help me to see if this is normal, or should i talk here at work for them to get it fixed or exchanged. Thanks
Here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=jzhogjq3e4U&eurl=http% 3A%2F%2F
Also, from time to time, the macbook pro freezes, and it just sits there, i cant use the trackpad, keys, nothing... it doesnt even respond to closing and opening the lid, i always have to hard-restart/reset it.
It has already happened like 4 or 5 times since i got it (about 3 months).
Just wanted to add that up.

Talk to whom ever you need to to get it fixed.

Using Windows 8 with my macbook pro

Hello,
I currently have a problem to install Windows 8.
Last week, I bought a Windows' 8 license.
The configuration of my macbook pro is the following :
- i7 2,3 Ghz (four cores)
- 8 Gb of RAM
- A 256 Go SSD
- A 750 Go Hybrid-disc
- OS X 10.8.2
So I removed the Superdrive but I bought an ASUS external USB disc-drive (witch works with OS X)
I inserted the Windows 64 bits disc in the USB drive and I created a 50 Go partition for Windows on the SSD (FAT) with Bootcamp.
After this process, my macbook reboot but it bloked on the PC's shell interface without message, just the cursor (Right-Top).
I tried to reboot many times and to use the 32 bits disc but it is alredy the same.
I also tried to boot using the "C" key, the CD boot, i can see the fourth blue square on the screen, and durind 2 or 3 second the charging animation but after it says that there is an error (new blue screen very very quickly), or a black screen with somes information like "Error 00000050x0...".
However, I tried the alt key. 2 solutions :
- "Windows 8", it is like the first situation (black screen with sursor)
- "EFI boot" (it appeared once), the computer boot on the CD, I can acces to menus and tell the name of the hard disc I want for the installation. But when I want to continue, a window appear with a EFI problem and he says to reboot with a different configuration (but I am not sur).
What can I do to install windows 8 on my macbook pro ?
I need it for Solidworks...
Thank you for your answers.

Problem using time machine from migrated MacBook Pro

I upgraded from a 2.66Gig 15 inch dual core to a 2.2GHz 15 inch quad core (MacBook Pro 8,2) - I used setup assistant to transfer files and settings form the old mac to the new one over ethernet - Everything (apps, documents, preferences) transferred fine and the new mac is a clone of the other except for being able to use time machine. On running for the first time I get an error dialog "Time machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image "Volumes/backups/restOfPath.sparsebundle" could not be accessed(error-1).
I tried a full reset of TM (deselecting the backup drive, turning off, deleting the preferences .plist and rebooting), with the same result. The image that is created is 1.6TB (on a 1 TB Iomega Home Storage drive). The image of my old time machine reflects the drive size -I don't know if this is a problem, both images are twice the size of the respective mac's inbuilt drives).
I looked at the troubleshooting tips and installed TM buddy - the log from the new mac shows this:

The original mac can still use it's backup on the same disc - it gives the same warnings about Lock Stealing and Server Reply Cache, I'll append a report from TM Buddy below this one.
I'd appreciate any help that people can provide - I'm using the same username and password connecting to the backup disc from either mac so I'm presuming it's not an access privilege thing (but if it is I may need an idiots guide to changing these:))
Cheers

Sorry - I totally missed this longer post you made - here are the answers to the best of my knowledge - I seem to have answered a couple accidentally in my next post, but didn't directly address what you'd asked - sorry about that I just totally missed your post before reposting an update to (what I thought was) my one-man thread!
{quote:title=Pondini wrote:}
When you set up Time Machine on that NAS, do you create the sparse bundle manually, or does the NAS do it? Is there a setting on the NAS to limit the size? (One of the disadvantages to using a 3rd-party NAS is, few folks here, or with Apple, know much about how that particular NAS interacts with OSX).
{quote}
It seems that the NAS does it automatically, sometimes wrongly (it puts the wrong MAC in occasionally, and it appends .local after the username (not sure of the relevance of this, but in the manual setup that got me limping along in the later post, it doesn't mention the .local bit and I didn't use it (maybe this is why the access is through ip address now?)
Those seem to mean your NAS isn't fully compatible with Snow Leopard. See if there's a software/firmware update for it.
I'm using the latest firmware, and it works with the other mac also running 10 6.6
also throwing the same warning but with no apparent problem (yet:P)
I'd appreciate any help that people can provide - I'm using the same username and password connecting to the backup disc from either mac so I'm presuming it's not an access privilege thing (but if it is I may need an idiots guide to changing these:))
That would be on the NAS, not OSX, so you'd need their instructions or help.
Indeed it was (fix seems to be to manually install a newly created sparsebundle)
You might try repairing the sparse bundle. Follow the instructions for a Time Capsule in #A5 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Thanks - I tried that I think ( I read though most of your site and tried many things:)), but with no joy - thanks for taking the time to provide this useful resource.
On a Time Capsule or AirDisk, where Time Machine creates the sparse bundle, it's actual size starts out at just a few hundred MBs (the directory structure, etc.), then grows as backups are added. It's maximum size is set at the size of the volume it's on.
That seems to be the way with this too (the actual size is a few hundred megs - though disc utility reports it to be 1.5TB which is twice the size of the Mac disc)
Thanks again for your time and input,
Ray

Having problem running Lightroom 5 with my MacBook Pro

A salesperson from Bestbuy told me if I get a macbook Pro 13" with 2.5Ghz i5 and 4 GB RAM, I would be able to use Lightroom 5. I used the trial version, but it was slow on my Mac. Does that mean I need to upgrade my RAM?

Hello! Did you solve the problem? I tried it all, new cable, Apple Store, downloaded what was recommended here: Lion 10.7.2 upgrade and HDMI video issue
...nothing worked. I am frustrated ... My Mac book 2009 didnt have these issues.
