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.

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 . .

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!

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 ?

Will bootcamp work well with new MacBook Pro 15-Retina?

Am I going to have any serious limitations if I bootcamp the new MacBook Pro 2012 with Retina display?
How will Windows 7 (or 8) look on the Retina display?
Will the bootcamp installation provide Nvidia drivers for dedicated graphics chip?
Any other limitations?

I just loaded win7 via bootcamp on the macbook pro retina and after you install the bootcamp drivers, you can actually scale all the way up to 2880x1800. Text is obviously smaller but if you set the text scaling to 150% it is readable - still on the small side. Everything seems to work after you install the bootcamp drivers. There is a nvidia control panel that you can access to adjust settings as well. Like within OS X, you can drive the retina display plus 2 external monitors and have all 3 displays functioning. There are 2 things that are a bit quirky - 1) the backlit keyboard always turns back on for me after I reboot even though I turn it off before rebooting and 2) it gets toasty - I installed core temp and with all 3 screens going, and just running Windows Update and browsing the web, cpu temps got up to 195F. Lowering the screen resolution and unplugging the external monitors seem to bring this down to 145 or so so it seems it's related to the nvidia gpu pushing the extra pixels to the various displays. It definitely runs much cooler under OS X.

What if sync with new computer does not work. logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes. New is Windows7 with 64bit version

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod 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 iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod 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 iPod 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

Update the software. There is no reason to run a two year old version.

Yes, I too had this problem.
I was issued an update from Apple for a new version software as well as a new version of Lightrooom and now it shows up on the desktop and in finder as it should.
MacBook Pro Retina running 10.8.2 (12C54)
Lightroom running 4.1

When did your neighbour have access to your new Mac, did you lend it to him?

Facebook problems with new macbook pro.

Facebook problems with new macbook pro. I can't publish photo albums to timeline. I can't share items onto timeline. Photos I'm tagged in don't appear on my timeline. Any help?

Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

Time capsule only seems to work with my macbook pro, not vista. (wifi)

So I received my TC today and set it up. Everything is working perfectly except the new wifi network I created only works with my macbook pro, not my other laptop that has windows vista installed on it. It only works with vista when I take off the password from the network. When it's on, it says something about the settings being invalid for that particular computer. I think it has something to do with the WPA2 encryption.
Any suggestions?

Nobody?

I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?

As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

Audio crackle/pop with new MacBook Pro under Vista

I just got a brand new MacBook Pro (multi-touch, Penryn cpu) and have used Boot Camp to install Windows Vista on it. Vista installed fine, and then I used the Restore DVDs that came with my MBP to install the drivers. The Device Manager shows that everything is installed.
All is not well, however. Whenever sound is being output, there are random crackles or pops - sometimes there will only be one every 5 minutes or so, sometimes there are 10 of them right in a row. The only clue I can find is that the Problem Reports And Solutions application in Vista says that there is a "Compatibility issue between Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 and Windows Vista." There is no solution offered. I don't know if this problem is directly related to the audio problems, but it seems likely.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any way to fix this and stop the audio crackles?

Well after a week and a half of testing and being unsatisfied with choppy audio on my MBP I believe I may have found the answer. The cause lies in the audio API within Vista; there is a specific service (Multimedia Class Scheduler) that adjusts the priority of multimedia applications according to resources available and one of the factors that affects the prioritization is network usage.
I tried pretty much every Broadcom driver available from HP and Dell to no avail; some reduced the frequency of the pops and crackles but none of them removed it completely.
I believe the solution lies within several registry keys that control the Multimedia Class Scheduler service. Open up regedit and modify the following keys:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile
Set NetworkThrottlingIndex and SystemResponsiveness to 10 each (decimal)
and
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Audio
Set SchedulingPriority to High.
After changing these 2 keys I couldn't here any audible stutter regardless of whichever driver I used. I am currently using v1.96 for the Realtek and 4.170.77.3 for the Broadcom.

Toneport UX2 not working with new MacBook Pro 10.6.2 Snow Leopard

I do some casual recording using a Line 6 Toneport UX2. Previously i was recording on an older Mac Mini. Recently i upgraded to a new Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)
The new Macbook is not responding at all when i plug in my toneport, all the software for the toneport is installed.
I think the problem is that my toneport is not compatible with an intel Mac. Is this right?
And if it is can i fix this problem with some kind of upgrade for my toneport software(gearbox)?
And if there is no solution can someone recomend a new audio interface for me to get? Under $200.

I use a Toneport UX2 with my intel iMac. I never had the problem you are describing while using Gearbox with GB. However your problem sounds very similar to one I have experienced when I loaded up Line 6 Pod Farm. I discovered that when I start Pod Farm and get the message you mentioned, if I quit Pod Farm then immediately start it again, everything communicates just fine and I'm back in business. I would like to see a fix for this glitch, but for now I just start twice and then get to work.
Give it a try! I am curious to know if you are in the same boat as me.
As a side note, Recently Line 6 offered Pod Farm for no charge to registered owners of a Line 6 interface such as ours. You may want to check it out. It gives you some more options to play with.
