I'm running Lion and am in the same energy saver window but it's not there. If I could switch to higher performance I think it may solve the Quicktime 7 green screen when paused bug. Any ideas?
Did you reset the SMC? Do this by removing the battery and all plugs connecting to your computer and holding down the power button for 5 seconds.

How to transfer pictures from iphoto on macbook pro to iPad. I have the transfer app on both devices.
Connect the iPad to your MBP and open iTunes. In the photos section of your iPad in iTunes you can choose selected albums, Events or the entire iPhoto library to sync to your iPad.

IPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?
iPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?
When I connected my iPhone to the MB-Pro and imported the photos, all the ones on the phone in "the photo stream" came in fine,
But I have 4 "albums" containing different photos. How do I get those photos into iPhoto ... short of emailing them to myself?When you connect your iPhone to the computer and import, all photos in the camera roll will be imported, but not the photos in other albums, for example, albums that have been synced to your iPhone. Sp, to import other photos from synced albums, you have to save these photos to the camera roll or use iTunes Photo Sharing.

I am running MS Office for Mac 2008 on my MacBook Pro. I do not have the Standard and Formatting toolbar fixed into position, as I would expect and would like. I can access them via the View menu, where I have to select and de-select them before I can get them to display, but lose them when I log off. Can anyone help? I have tried all the usual and supplied help facilities to no avail. Thanks
Post the question in Microsoft's own Office for Mac forum.

Have you checked the Software update page at the App Store?
And do you have iLife '11 and iWorks '09 installed? Only these versions are eligible to be updated to the new versions. -

I want to charge my macbook pro in my campervan,what is the best way
when i go travelling i want to charge my macbook pro on the move,not noticed a in car charger,although i have seen a in plane charger,is there any difference between my swift kontiki and a boeing 747.
ianApple's Airline adapter is designed for the apx 15V DC of airlines to NOT charge the computer's battery, rather to slowdown the battery discharge and extend the use of the computer. It also works in vehicles with 12V DV although it's not as strong as the 15V on airplanes.
So that means you need a fully charged battery before you use the Airline Adapter.
To CHARGE your battery your going to have to use the powerbrick adapter for household current on a house hold current outlet, that's in most cases the only thing strong enough to push the electrons back into the battery.
DO NOT USE step up transformer devices that tap off the vehicles 12V up to 110v and then use the Mac's powerbrick to attempt to charge the laptop, it WILL PROBABLY FRY YOUR VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM as most vehicles are not designed for that purpose to draw that much current. Most are just strong enough to power the car, the lights, charge the battery and your light your cigarette.
Unless you specially know it can handle it, like big RV's and boats have large appliances powered by the engines 12V system, likely the engine will have to be running all the time to produce that much power to feed the power needs of the converter and the powerbrick to charge the battery.
IF you had a portable generator that could produce enough watts to power a small air conditioner, then you could use the 12v DC to 110v AC converter and the Mac's powerbrick to charge the battery. But most generators of that capability already have built in 110v convertors.
Now there is another option, because the MBP uses DC and the 12V is DC you can use a adpater to convert one to the other, no step up or down needed, so you wouldn't need such a strong source of DC current to use the 110v converter.
Unfortunatly Apple's MagSafe connector is proprietary and patented technology and Apple doesn't want anyone using it. So your stuck either splcing in a MagSafe or using a bootleg charger out of China someplace with no recourse if it fries your Mac.

I bought my 15" macbook pro just a year ago and my battery life runs out extremely quickly. This started maybe a month or two ago. Its hard to tell. I only noticed the rapid change recently. Fully charged it says I have 2:27 (2 hours and 27 minutes) of usage time...with about 50% screen and keyboard brightness.
I've checked inside system preferences and its cycle count is 261 and full charging cap is 6316.
I have apple care...is this something i can/need to take up with apple. You'd think if you pay the price for these machines you should get mroe use out of them.
ONLY A YEAR I'VE HAD THIS!
My PC lasted 4 years before the battery showed signs this dramatic of wear.
Any help is appreciated, im new mac owner. thanks.do you have a mbp with dual video cards? running the system with the higher end card increases the heat and also drains batt power.
i have the 1st gen unibody (2008) with an original removable battery of 311 cycles and 4453 charge. under normal use ill be happy to get 1.5hrs. the mac battery counter thing says i have 3.3hrs though (whatever). compared to me, i think you use your battery more than i do, perhaps its the reason why it degraded so fast in a year? -
Upgrading MacBook Pro to new machine want to unistall. No disc.
Strictly speaking you are supposed to supply the old discs with a computer since they are part of the computer package (for Macs at least).
Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775 (telephone numbers for other countries - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57). Provide the serial number and specifications of the Mac. They may be able to provide a replacement set of discs for a fee. These discs will be for whatever OS was installed on the computer originally.
As far as your files are concerned, you can use another Mac or any retail version discs that will work in the old Mac to wipe the drive. To be more specific it would help to know what computers and which discs you actually own.
If you install an operating system (OS) on a Mac you also need to provide the discs (i'm talking about pre-OSX 10.7).
I have seen Macs sold without the original OS discs. If you do that then you at least need to provide the disc for the one on the computer. I guess you could try to sell the computer without an OS but that might be hard. If I was buying your computer I would want to see it boot, and I also might not want the hassle of getting an OS disc for it befre I could use it in any way. You'd have to come down a bit to make it sell.
Given all the above, I would still go with Snow Leopard. The retail disc itself will be as cheap as the original. The only things it might miss vs. the original will be bundled software (most of which will be outdated, though somebody might prefer older version to none) and perhaps the hardware test utility. Having a slightly newer OS might make the computer more attractive. -
Macbook Pro: Play and record sound at the same time
Greetings everyone,
My brother and I have are going to switch go a mac, preferebly to a macbook pro. we used windows so far, but the frustration has grown extremely huge, so it's time to throw off this junk.
We've been working with sound a lot and many times we recorded any sound which played through the computer: that means sound and music from dvds and games or other sources, we couldn't get anywhere else. What we did is simply letting the game or dvd play and record the audio at the same time.
I've testet this functionality in windows via bootcamp on a macbook of friend of mine, but NOT the macbook pro version. It's wasn't really that good as I thought. Sound quality was below what I'd expect.
So here are my questions:
- Does the macbook pro have a better sound card, which enables simultaneos play + record?
- Is good record quality bound to a software I need to use?
Thanks for your replies.Apple don't have separate "sound cards" like PC's , Martin. The necessary hardware is proprietary , and built into the logic boards.
Both of them have high quality combined optical digital input and audio line in, and combined optical digital output and audio line out. You can also attach various USB or firewire audio input and output devices if you wish. So as far as 'quality" goes, it depends what you are playing them through more than anything else. The inherent audio abilities of both are pretty danged good when using Mac specific software. That is why the music industry love 'em!
Or are you just talking about sound quality through the built in speakers, which are, of course severely limited by the amount of space available, though I've heard far worse from many PC notebooks!?
Cheers

Hi,
Can i sync my database both on my Macbook Pro and my Macbook? is it possible to work on both computers and share the same iCloud, iPhone, iPad etc?
