Stream page docs wirelessly with macbook pro

How can I stream page docs or keynote presentations wirelessly to an overhead projector??

There are wireless video transmitters that probably could be used here, but my experience with this sort of technology hasn't been great. I see advertisements for wireless projectors compatible with Macs, but the prices are extreme.
Depending on the projector interface there may be a less expensive alternative.
Using an iPad and an AppleTV-2, you could stream (mirror) the iPad screen to any projector with an HDMI interface using AirPlay, once you get your content from the MBP to the iPad.
The total cost of iPad and AppleTV would be less than the cost of a wireless Projector, in fact you could throw in a MBP and a projector with HDMI input and still be under the cost. My product search was limited, so I'd be interested in any other reports.

  • Printing wirelessly with MacBook Pro?

    I'm sure this topic has come up before. Does anyone have any ideas how I can print wirelessly using my MacBook Pro? I'm trying to get Airport Express working but the 2 printers that I have are not on the list of compatible printers so I think that I might not get it to work easily.
    It is such a pain to have to take the laptop to the printer and plug it in in order to print. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Just enable printer sharing on the machine hosting the printer (be it a windows box or an OS X machine) and then print to the shared printer. A "cleaner" solution (as your printers get replaced) is jut buy wireless printers. Last year I replaced an old HP deskjet that was shared off my Vista desktop machine with an HP wireless 6988dt printer. Now there is no longer a need to keep the Vista box from sleeping when idle just to be able to print.

  • Can't get Canon MP620 to work wirelessly with MacBook Pro or AirPort

    I bought a Canon MP620 printer at the Apple Store. I specifically asked if it would work wirelessly with my MacBook Pro or AirPort Express since I read comments to the contrary on here. I was assured it would work without a problem and I wouldn't need to upgrade to AirPort Extreme. My Mac is not able to find my printer. Does anyone have any suggestions? I did all of the troubleshooting and nothing works. I have another printer plugged into my AirPort Express so I can't plug this one in (was told at Apple Store that I wouldn't need to).

    Hi magcat72,
    As BDAqua has mentioned already, you need to configure the wireless network settings first. This is done by connecting the Mac directly to the printer via USB. But before you do this, stick the MP620 CD into your Mac and install the drivers and the Canon IJ Network utility. Once these have been added to the Mac, you can then connect the 620 to the Mac. This should automatically add the printer to your printer list (in Print & Fax). If it doesn't, then you can add the printer manually, by clicking the + and using the Default view.
    Once you have the printer queue installed, you can open the queue and click the Utility icon. This will display the MP620 connected via USB. Select it and then click the Network button. This will now guide you through connecting the MP620 to your wireless network.
    Once you have completed the network configuration for the printer, you can turn it off and unplug the USB cable from your Mac. You can then move the printer to where you want it to reside and turn it back on again.
    Now you need to add the network printer queue, as the previous queue was for direct USB. In fact, to save you selecting the wrong printer, delete the current MP620 from your list by using the - (minus) button.
    To add the network printer queue, select to Add a printer and then select More Printers. In the top menu you should see Canon IJ Network. Select this and after a short while the printer should appear with its MAC address (a series of numbers and letters separated by colons) in the lower pane. Select the 620 and click Add.
    Now you should be ready to print. If any of the above doesn't work for you then please reply.

  • Cant open old page doc. on my MacBook Pro

    I work from my back-up (iMac 20) and will open page documents, the pop-up says to save this document first in page 09.
    Only how to do? Im working on my MacPro Book with  OS X Yosemite version: 10.10.1 and use the new page program from the Apple Store.
    On this moment I can't use the iMac 20 because it's by the apple store to repair.
    Thanks Rob

    So you are trying to open Pages '08 documents with Pages 5.5.2?
    Pages 5 won't open Pages '08 files, so you have to export them from Pages '08 to Word .doc/x that it can open.
    Or simply use Pages '08 on your new Mac.

  • No Wireless with MacBook Pro When in XP

    My wireless connection to my my airport express works fine when I am in 'Mac mode' but when I boot up in 'PC mode' I cannot connect to my airport express. When I display available wireless networks the airport express comes up, but whenever I try and join I get a message saying that the network has either been turned off, or has moved out of range, and that I should refress the list. I have manually reloaded the drviers, I installed the airport utility in xp (utility can't even find the network), but can get the pro to connect to the web when I plug the lan cable directly into it...

    Yes, sorry, the Boot Camp area would have been a better place to ask. After some more googling I found a helpful thread though, which led me to download this driver package:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem= ob-80585-1&lang=en&cc=us&idx=3&mode=4&
    From it I installed the driver called "Broadcom 43225 802.11b/g/n", and presto, I can finally use my 802.11n network under Windows. Hope that's helping other people that may have this problem.

  • I moved all my Pages documents from my Macbook Pro to my present Macbook Air and then gave away my Pro.  Now, when I try to view my documents I get the message that the document is too old and I have to save it on Pages 09 first.  How do I do that? i

    I moved all my Pages docs from my Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Air.  Now, when I try to view my docs I am told that they are too old and I must save them in 09 first.  How do I do that?  The version of Pages I am using on the Air is 5.2.2

    No release of Pages v5 can open AppleWorks, Pages '05, Pages '06, Pages '08, or RTF documents. Sometimes, it cannot open its own documents.
    You will need to do one of the following:
    Borrow your MacBook Pro back until you can export all your incompatible documents to MS Word (Which Pages v5 can open)
    Install your iWork '08 DVD on your new Air, and then immediately apply the following Apple Updaters. Again Export to MS document formats.
    Pages v3.0.3
    Numbers v1.0.3
    Keynote v4.0.4
    Purchase iWork '09 DVD, and then immediately update with Apple iWork 9.3 updater.
    Open the document(s) that Pages v5 won't permit
    Save as Pages '09 v4.3 documents, or export as MS Word
    Upload to Zamzar, and convert to MS Word (free for limited volume)
    No sensitive documents
    Email notification within 3 - 4 minutes with MS Word document download link
    After you do either item 2 or 3, run Disk Utility and verify/repair application permissions on your boot drive. Open your converted documents in Pages v5.

  • What is an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?

    Can anyone suggest an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?  I have used FrontPage with my PC, but am changing to a MacBook Pro.

    It largely depends on your skill level. Do you want to write web page code, or do you want to just design something and have it turn into a web page automatically?
    If you are more of a designer, try these:
    RapidWeaver
    Freeway Pro
    Muse
    If you want to write web page code, try these:
    Coda
    BBEdit
    Dreamweaver
    If you really don't want to write the code and want the best experience for your viewers, and you want to spend the least amount of time on it, my recommendation is:
    No program at all.
    Instead, sign up with a web site company like:
    WordPress.com (hosted by them) or WordPress.org (hosted on your server)
    Squarespace
    Wix
    The reason is that these companies have fully operational, nicely designed web site templates that you just fill in with your words and pictures, and they are ready to go. They also give you these benefits:
    Already designed to the latest web standards
    Already designed to resist hackers
    Already designed to work on all browsers
    Already designed to automatically adjust the page for readability on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes
    Already designed for accessibility
    Already designed for Search Engine Optimization so that your page will be found on Google
    Already designed with social media links built in if you want
    It is not like the old days where you build a site in Front Page and you assume it will only be seen on a desktop computer. If you build it yourself with a web page program, do you have the knowledge to make a site that works on all of the different web browsers and mobile devices, and is friendly to search engines and social media? If you don't have those skills, working with a website company can be a lot better, faster, and more reliable than trying to hammer all of that out yourself using code in some app.

    Hello H:
    These forums are not chat rooms, but since you used my name I will address your post.
    Do you work for Apple?
    No. These are user-to-user forums. The forums are moderated by Apple, but do not represent official responses from the company. If an Apple employee would post here (very rare), they would have either a purple apple (forum host) or a silver apple (employee) under their name.
    Every post about this issue, going back to early 2009 you have made the SAME suggestion. It doesn't work.
    That statement is inaccurate. If you read the posts carefully, I do not cut/paste the same suggestion to address issues. However, trying to address issues without hands-on access to devices necessarily requires one to suggest solutions that have worked in similar situations. Bluetooth issues are not rocket science and there are only a few things that are available to resolve problems. If you look at the little blue bars next to my name that represent user +"thank yous+" for suggestions that worked, I must have made a few suggestions that did work.
    Like everyone else that tries to help others here, we are unpaid volunteers. If you have better sources to obtain information, I certainly recommend that you seek those sources out. If you have issues with Apple, take them up with the company. Ranting here about your particular problem is not helping anyone.

  • Have Pages on iPad and MacBook Pro but can't access docs from iCloud on laptop.

    have Pages on iPad and MacBook Pro but can't access docs from iCloud on laptop. laptop keeps telling me to purchase pages for iPad (which I've been using on both the iPad and MacBook for months - App store says i have them both too). Both units have current updated systems and apps. Using same apple ID.  Calendar and contacts work fine between both machines.

    Do you have any secondary accounts set up in mail, contacts and calendars.

    I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
    2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
    Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
    Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
    (with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
    This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
    Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
    Enter a name for your computer.
    Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!

  • Airport not maintaining internet connection on my D-link router with Macbook Pro 5.5 with Snow leopard

    Airport keeps throwing me out of internet connection on my D-link router with Macbook Pro 5.5 with Snow leopard. Pls if anyone has a solution to this then let me know

    I'm using my PC notebook because connecting with my iMac is IMPOSSIBLE!!! If I get connected at all, it's worse than dial-up speed.
    We are wireless via a D-Link DIR-625 (new) -- but was having some problems before with a netgear. Problem much worse now. My computers are not the primary computers. My sister gets that coin toss. She is a PC user. I share with her using WPA2. When the iMac "wakes" the signal bands are strong, but when I go to a page I lose all signal strength. And several times a day I get a message indicating an error joining the network -- arghhhhh -- HELP!
    Is the problem with D-Link or Mac? Thanks for any help.
