Split Screen Macbook Pro and Cable TV
Is it possible to split screen my hdtv to mirror my macbook pro on one side and my cable tv on another using Apple TV? I read on one thread that it's possible to mirror my macbook pro split screen with netflix, but I'm not sure if this functionality is limited only to Apple TV built in apps.
No that is not possible

I split juice on my Macbook pro and now it wont work
I split juice on my MacBook pro and immediately unplugged it and dried it off. I had it sleeping with the screen closed when it happened. It shut itself off and won't turn back on. It's been about 45 minutes since it happened and I plugged it back in. As you know, the charger has a light on it indicating that it is charging. this light is normally bright but is now very faint. I spilled juice on it as well so maybe that's why. I also hit the button on the side of the Mac that shows the battery power level it showed up as normal but when I pressed it agian, it didn't show anything. I can't open up my Mac because I can't find a screwdriver small enough. I'm not sure if I should wait more or send it in for repair. Please help because I'm freaking out right now.
Our condolences and conmiseration for your loss. Your wallet is about to go on a crash diet.
If the Mac is old-ish, best bet is to invest on a new one. After all, the 2012 models have just come out so we are at the start of the update cycle. Else you'll have to weigh the pros of the cost of new technology vs. the cost of repairing a used computer.
If the Mac has truly bit the dust, have the techs extract the hard disk drive, put it in an external enclosure and you can use that to recover your files and/or migrate them and all your settings to whatever new Mac you get.
Been there, done that, but not due to juice. My Early 2008 MBP suddenly just died when I put it to sleep one day; fried logic board. Opted to upgrade to a Late 2011 MBP and used the old Mac's HDD to recover all my stuff onto the new one. Even my Office:2011 registration was recovered. -
I am trying to play a DVD on my MacBook Pro and transmit it to my TV (using my TV as the monitor) utilizing a VGA cable and adapter for the Mac but the only image that shows up on the TV is the MacBook wall paper, any ideas on how I can transmit the movie from my MacBook to the TV? I also tried an HDMI cable and had the same issue.
you are probably seeing the extended display.. to see ur main display go to pefrences then display steeings and turn mirroring on.
this will display ur mbp main screen. good luck. -

The camera must be plugged in to AC power (not batteries only). And generally, the camera should be set to Play mode, not recording mode.

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's. -
My iphone5 was accidentally disconnected while updating OS8.2 in my MacBook Pro and now it's stuck with an apple logo on its screen and won't turn on or off. What should I do?
Connect to iTunes and restore. If you have difficulty, you may have to put the device into Recovery Mode. See the instructions in this support document. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

My new MacBook Pro and Imac can't recognize my digital video cameras (Canon GL2 or Sony) via FireWire 800 9 pin to 4 pin cable. I've tried two different cables. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Is your DV camera plugged in to AC power (not batteries only)? When you step down from 9 pins to 4 pins, you lose the "power" pins.

I have got a 13 inch MacBook Pro and it got stuck in a loop so I switched it off by holding the power button down and now when I switch it on the apple logo appears then I get a blank slot at the bottom of the screen then the circle appears and rotates and then it switches off again, I have tried starting it again with the system disc that came with it when it was new but it makes no difference. Is there a sequence that I can use to force it to start.
Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked. -
hi i have a macbook pro and when i changed the hard drive the screen wasn't as it was supposed to be it was green on it's side and blurred.what can i do to fix it and what is the reason?
either something got damaged when you installed the hard drive or you need to perform a pram reset (other possibilites could have occured, these are the ones I think)

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?
after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

I have a MacBook Pro and OS10.6 and am trying to log into a site that requires me to enter a code from a picture ... problem is all I get on the screen is a white '?' in a blue box. What do I need to display the picture?
Reload the page. If it doesn't load, choose Activity from Safari's Window menu, find that picture in the list, and see what it says to the right; this may reveal what the problem is.

Which firewire cable for new MacBook Pro and Canon HV20?
I just bought a new MacBook Pro and want to transfer video from my Canon HV20 camcorder (using FinalCut Express). The Canon instructions say to use a "DV cable" and I've learned that the MacBook Pro only has an "800 fire wire" port. Can someone give me the exact type of cable that I should get (even my local Apple Store couldn't help me).
Thanks!I'm surprised that the folks at the Apple Store couldn't guide you. You just need a firewire cable with the proper fw400 connector on one end and a fw800 connector on the other. Here's one source for both cables and adapters:

So I just updated my MacBook Pro and installed the new version of iPhoto and rebooted it and now there is a logo of the world blinking on my screen and it will not go away please help
You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default.
