i have a macbook pro can can log into a server, but my new iMac with lion can't even see the server--both are over wifi- how do i get the new iMac to see the server?
Without knowing what you have tried please open System Preferences - Sharing - File Sharing and select File Sharing. If you still have trouble you can call AppleCare in the morning when they re-open. You have 90 days of telephone support if you haven't already bought AppleCare.

I have a red line on the left hand side of my Macbook Pro screen
I have a Macbook pro 15" 2012 model with a red/turquoise line which appeared the day before yesterday on the right hand side of my screen....i have plugged in a monitor to see if it appeared on that monitor too and it hasnt? What could be causing this and is it expensive? Please can anyone help? I have tried all the tests on different apple forums resettting the memory and the board and nothing has worked....it did disappear but has come back permanently now. I've only had the Mac for over 16 months so as you can tell not impressed!! I have a macbook air late 2010/2011 and never had any problems apart from the magsafe adapter!!! Any help would be very much appreciated?
First question is do you have Applecare? If so, just take it in and let them fix it.

How do I get the coffee stain out of my MacBook Pro screen? Spilled coffee on it e
I spilled coffee on my MacBook Pro this morning .... used the cool setting on my blow dryer for 20 mintues to dry out the keypad ....
Switched it back on in 4 hours .... everything works , except I now have a coffee stain behind my screen .... is there a way to absorb that out
or do I have to buy a new lid for my computer ?You might have to have a new screen installed. It's not too expensive ($160) and it's DIY, if you have the right tools and skills.

I just purchased and installed a Canon Pixma MG5220 printer/copier/scanner to my PC desktop with Windows XP. It works fine. It has been successfully installed on my network and I am able to use it with my laptop running VISTA. However, I am trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 and I am not having much luck. I can see it as one of the printer choices when attempting to print; however, I get the following message:
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
I have been searching for answers, but nothing seems to work yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.Let me understand:
- you have purchased named canon, which is conencted to your PC running windows xp
- downloaded driver for win xp, and canon works fine
- canon is connected to that PC via USB
- that Canon is also activated as network printer, by allowing print sharing in windows; how did you set that option?
- now, you are in Mac OS x 10.6.8, downloaded Canon driver for Mac OS X, installed it, detected printer on the network, printer was installed; was it detected as attached to that PC running win XP? or not?
or you set canon by being connected to your mac directly via USB?
Now, there are some questions you should answer as some details are missing, and your initial text is not clear. Can you print if Canon is connected directly to your mac? did you try that? if not, do it before answering. -
I set the balance and sound levels on my MacBook Pro 10.8.4 but when I start up again the balance has shifted to one channel or the other [left or right] and the volume has become maximum. Does not always happen but frequently does. Any ideas?
It should remain the way you have adjusted them. Delete the System Preferences.plist per these instructions:

I have an Apple Wireless Mouse (model A1015 EMC No. 1938).
I metal "strip" fell out. I can not figure out how to put the strip back in.
Leaving it out, the mouse doesn't work (no light, no nothing).
Does the strip actually belong and if so, where does it go?
I went to the Apple site and looked up how to replace the batteries and started off saying to turn off the mouse. I have no idea how to turn off the mouse. It also did not show a metal strip on the inside.
When I opened the mouse, the battery cover popped off. Without the metal strip, the cover does not pop off and is very hard to remove.
HELP!!!See: https://discussions.apple.com/message/1958068#1958068

What is the best way to clean my Macbook Pro screen?
Everytime I have had my Mac in at Vertical IT in St Kilda they clean my screen and my machine which is a brilliant service but I always forget to ask them what they use to do it? I have heard windex may do the trick but doesn't it have chemicals in it that could damage the screen? Thanks!
From How to clean Apple products - Support - Apple
Cleaning Your MacBook Display
Follow these general rules when cleaning the screen.
Shut down your MacBook, detach the power adapter, and remove the battery.
Dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or paper with water only and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen. -
Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8 goes black when trying to connect to HDTV
I do not have the "mirror" option, I also cannot find the com.apple file everyone says to delete (though I am in the correct folder with the other close named files) Can anyone help me out!
Thank you for your time.Purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard here.

This was stupid, I know. I didn't mean to do it that way, but the laptop (Macbook Pro intel core2duo 15 in) would freeze, was slow to load, and wouldn't let me partition the drive. I kept getting : unable to unmount when partitioning, or some other partition error. I didn't have much on it, so I know that the harddrive wasn't full or anything. I just had it fixed a few months back to boot with a whole new harddrive and motherboard.
I'm getting these same issues on my newer macbook pro come to think of it. this has all started happening to both laptops this month, only the older macbook pro was running snow leopard and the newer one is running mavericks. Nothing else other than my apple id is in common. i was able to erase macintosh HD and reintall mavericks safely without an issue on the newer laptop, but when i tried doing the very same with the older one, the entire operating system went missing.
Anyway, back to the old laptop. I tried loading linux mint onto it just to get it operational. I read on these boards to use rEFIt to load it. The laptop now has rEFIt when it loads, but it won't install anything or run anything else. Not linux mint, not ubuntu. Nothing.
I do not have any of the original disks. I know i can order them from apple, but I don't want to do that if it isn't going to load it anyway.
So i guess my question now is can I get this thing working again without having to take it to a repair shop for hundreds more? I'm trying to save money and have an extra computer for all of us to share. I'm working on my masters myself and the kids' schools are all about macbooks lately.
Please be gentle with me, I'm only trying to get answers and not insults.
Thank you,
N.If you're wanting to put Snow Leopard back on your old laptop and you don't have the original DVDs, you should call Apple Support (800-MY-APPLE USA) and order the version of SL that came with your MBP. You'll be charged a small fee.

Can you upgrade the RAM on a Retina Display Macbook Pro?
So I've been looking around for information on whether the RAM on a Retina Macbook Pro can be upgraded and the mixed messages have left me confused. If I take my Macbook Pro (Retina Display) to an Apple store for a RAM upgrade and offer to pay them for the RAM and installation, would they do it for me?
Thanks and if you can't, please explain why.
I am aware that the RAM is soldered into the motherboard making it very difficult to perform the upgrade, but will some stores actually do it for you?The MacBook Pro with Retina display is soldered onto the logic board, so RAM can't be added without replacing the logic board.
I know there are shops that may try to add more RAM without replacing the logic board, but they aren't official resellers and if something happens, the warranty will be voided. Apple won't do it.
If you want, you can sell your MacBook Pro and get another one with more RAM. It's the best way to do it, because I don't think you want to spend a lot of money replacing the logic board or you want to take it to a non-official technical support, putting the Mac in risk -
When I plug the Lacie external disk to my Macbook pro, my computer turns off. Whats wrong?
When I plug the Lacie external disk to my Macbook pro, my computer turns off. Whats wrong?
Something certainly is wrong. Do not plug the external HHD in the MBP. Male an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and bring the Lacie with you.
