I have a macbook Pro which had Mobileme. I have joined ICloud, but my Calendar does not sync. How do I fix this? I do not see an ICloud Icon on my laptop and the software is updated.

This is the situation with Snow Leopard and existing iCloud accounts:
You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.
Address Book won't sync: this page has a convoluted hack to make it sync which has been reported as working (and as not working by others). I've not tried it.
There are a couple of alternative syncing services you might like to consider, though they're not particularly cheap:
Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts beetween a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart (click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at €4 per month.
(I have no connection with these firms and have not tried Soho Organizer, though both have had good reports and I've found Fruux to work well.)

  • I can't pause downloads in the download window. The button is there but pressing it does nothing. How can I fix this??

    I am using Firefox 6.0.2 and I can't pause any downloads. I have both the pause and cancel buttons next to the selected download but cannot use the pause one. I can click it but nothing happens. However, the cancel download button is working. How can I fix this?

    I would first update to the latest version of Firefox & attempt to pause the download as you stated to verify if this resolved the issue.
    1. On the menu bar click the '''Firefox '''menu and select '''About Firefox.'''
    2. The '''About Firefox''' window will open and Firefox will begin checking for updates. If updates are available, they will begin downloading automatically. If Firefox is already up to date, just close the About Firefox window.
    3. When the updates are downloaded and ready to be installed, click '''Apply Update.''' Firefox will be restarted and the updates will be installed.
    Note: Firefox does not automatically update plugins (like Adobe Flash, Quicktime or Java). Update your plugins at [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]

  • My macbook pro ended up in safe boot mode randomly twice in a row...how do i fix this permanently??!

    And I think this issue is coming from a few different problems I've had with my MacBook Pro on lion...one major thing was probably the fact that I changed from Lion to Mountain Lion...and then changed right back (I think I did back up my stuff first), but somehow it didn't agree with my computer.  Also I've been wearing it out a lot by throwing it with the case into my car frequently...maybe a bit much, idk...also though I have a lot of trouble keeping up with the numerous files that build up on my desktop and don't know where to begin.  Let's just say my computer has pretty much had it, although for months it's been functioning normally.
    ...oh yeah and did I mention I had to get a brand new hard drive, with that not really making a difference as to how bad I, um, throw my computer around (it's not as bad as you think but to be candid, blech). I did bang my computer at one point in a rage attack and made sure no one really knew when I took it to get it fixed?  TMI...that's what I deserve....so.
    I did try this web link the second time in a row this happened which was about an hour or so that I managed to, uh, kind of fix it with the bottom advice on the page:
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2012/06/24/mac-keeps-starting-in-safe-mode/ 
    (sorry I couldn't get this to click)
    Anyways at the bottom of this help article you will notice the very end of PRAM reset directions where you hear the start up chime two times.  That did not happen, but somehow out of nowhere the computer stopped the safe boot mode routine and the progress bar didn't show up as I continued to hold down the given keys.  I really don't know where my luck came from there...and I also found an article that fixed my computer the first time and I cringe to say that it came from a person on Apple Discussions complaining about something similar that one of my friends helped me google. Planning to actually bookmark the applehelpwriter article in case I just happen to need it but i'm pretty sure someone will be on here with an answer at some point.
    SO....I did get my comp fixed twice now, but I hope that somebody will go back and read the beginning of my question explanation to see if I'm doing something that may be overwhelming my computer. If this safe boot thing happened to me instead of me testing the computer myself AND MORE THANA ONCE yikes...something needs to be done. Take note that the only reason I'm asking the community's advice is that I'm past my computer's contract so if I wanted to I couldn't take my computer to get it fixed and I planned to take one or two more classes in college again to complete my certificate.
    Please help, some people must run into this situation at some point, either way if they ask or don't I'm sure they're lucky to get it fixed somewhere.

    Only if your home/renters insurance doesn't cover such damage without raising your rates/dropping you.  Ask first of them if it is worthwhile the claim once you get an estimate for repair.  These repair places are pretty good:

  • My Macbook Pro Retina Display (13 inch, early 2015); has words imprinted on screen permanently? How do I fix this? OR can I get it replaced?

    Hi,
    I purchased a Macbook Pro 13 inch (retina display, early 2015); just over a month back. Already, I can see a few words have been permanently imprinted onto my LCD screen?
    Any solutions?
    - Is there a quick fix to it?
    - Can I get my macbook pro replaced considering it's still under 1 year warranty?

    Question 1-maybe so .  What you have is called "screen burn in" and might be the result of having the same image left on a screen for a long period of time. See if running a screensaver or something else that has moving images will erase it, or lessen it *
    Question 2- yes, if  Apple deems that the problem is serious enough that the only way to fix it is to replace your Macbook Pro. otherwise, it will repair
    * this is the word from Apple, I guess

  • My brand new 15'' retina macbook pro takes 10 hours to export a half hour video's master file! How can I fix this, what is wrong with you people?!

    I'm not applying any special effects or anything, and it doesn't matter what I export to, it just doesn't work! If I publish vid and audio, 10 hours, to go on webhosting, 10 hours. My media is optimized and everything, I don't get it. Also, when I send to compressor, and then send the job out, it just sits there in the share manager for days not doing anything. I spent over 3 grand upgrading my system, getting this dumb program, and had to sell my FCP7 monster Mac to get this "mobile studio." Don't get me wrong, I love FCPX, the feature set and everything is great, but exporting is a real pain. What do I do, where can I go for some real answers?!?!?!

    How much memory on your MBP?
    Also, are you using external drives for your media? You could get a huge traffic jam if you have your OSX, your apps, and your video Events all on the same drive.

  • My applications will not open, how can I fix this. I recently bought a new lap top download iTunes and have been using it now, any suggestions?

    My iPhone 4 will not open my purchased apps, anyone know what is going on? I just recently bought a new laptop and downloaded iTunes onto and synced my phone. I was also talking on my phone and it died, then I charged it and that is when the apps would no longer open. My mail, and iPod and safari work just not the purchased apps, if anyone know please write back!:)

    Try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.

  • Hello, I have a Macbook pro which runs under 10.5.8. I want to use a PC interface. been told I need to purchase paralellDestop 6, Windows & Microsoft 2008licence?

    Hello, I have a Macbook pro which runs under 10.5.8. I want to use a PC interface. I've been told I need to purchase paralell Destop 6, Windows licence and Microsoft Office 2008 for PC. Is that correct ?

    If you have a MacBook Pro with 10.5, that's usually a machine that's getting long in the tooth and thus running Windows as a virtual machine (one OS inside another) will likely be slow.
    Also spending all that money for Windows (VirtualBox is free) and Office seems like almost a waste of effort if the machine is going to die suddenly.
    MacBook Pro's last about 4-5 years.
    To do what you want your going to have to upgrade OS X to 10.6, then either buy VMFusion or Parallels which they are now catering to 10.7 and 10.8 users, so it's slow on 10.6, or use the free VirtualBox which will run well on 10.6. Then buy a copy of Windows 7 as earlier Windows versions are not being sold, then Office 11 or whatever.
    You can also install OfficeMac into 10.6, if they still sell a copy.
    You see your outdated really, and anything that can work is soon to be ignored etc.
    What I would consider doing instead, since your not a OS upgrade type of person (we are on 10.8 now which won't run on your machine or be extremely slow) is to buy yourself a decent Windows 7 laptop and install Office into that. Some have the demo already inside and all you have to do is activate it.
    This way you get your Windows experience and Office experience, don't have to fiddle with complicated virtual machine software, or Apple's problematic Bootcamp etc as Apple really is leaving 10.5 and 10.6 users behind, and by next summer will be leaving 10.7 users behind too.
    Windows 7 laptop will be the cheapest and least stressful option for you, you can continue to use the Mac until it drops dead of course.
    I say this because your on 10.5, your like most computer users, just a computer user and not a geek.
    You obviously have some reason you need Office, likely for a job or school and since 99% use Windows and Office, then that's what you should be using.
    If your only needing Office or Office like program for something temporary, then I suggest you install the free LibreOffice into OS X, however I don't know if it will run in 10.5, you might have to upgrade to 10.6 via the 10.6.3 white retail disk, however Apple doesn't sell it anymore, but perhaps Amazon or elsewhere does.
    Sorry, you have been out of the upgrade loop for quite some time, so a new machine is in order as that one is about to die soon, so I wouldn't be spending too much on it really.
    If you have a fat wallet you can buy a new Mac with 10.8, and have Windows 7 installed in BootCamp (direct boot) and also into VMFusion or Parallels (copies the Bootcamp Windows so you can use both) and Office for you. It will come all set up, enter your password and use the machine.
    I think OtherWorld Computing will sell you a pre-configured Mac all set up like that for you, Apple won't do it though.
    You can also pay a local PC/Mac specialist to do the same.
    Don't forget setting up a backup system for both Windows and OS X, add anti-malware software in Windows, you'll need that.
    IMO a new Windows 7 laptop would be the cheaper, less stressful option, Learning Bootcamp and virtual machine software can be a pain if your not computer savvy, al;so Apple has a nasty habit of upgrading the operating system constantly, now on a annual basis. You don't upgrade and all your third party software, then your denied security updates in short order. Windows 7 laptop will last a decade on the same version, only needing simple updates, not upgrades.
    If you want your Windows machine to last even longer, like a decade, then get a desktop tower instead of a laptop.
    Mac's are for those who can handle a lot of change, as Apple is about always inflicting change.  It's costly change too.
    Good Luck

  • I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life)bought in October 2010 in the UK. The charger has stopped working. Which model and voltage do I need please?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life) bought in October 2010. The charger has been playing up for a while now - the light going out but coming back on when I move the cable a bit - faulty connection it seems. It has now stopped working at all.
    Apple UK charge a whopping £65 for a replacement - and the reviews are AWFUL for it!
    I need to know which one I need - 45w, 60w and 80w are listed - can someone tell me please? If I'm going to pay this price I want to make sure I get the right one!
    Also, is a genuine Apple one available on Amazon UK, does anyone know please?
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Meanwhile my battery is going down.....

    Thanks for that wjosten. Much appreciated.
    I've read here on Apple's site that the 85W version will work, as you say, and that it would run cooler with a 13" Macbook - I have a 13" MBP of course but assume this would be the same with mine. I wonder if running cooler is a good thing (it sounds as if it is) and it would be better for me to get the 85W version than the 60W one?
    Then I have to decide whether to pay the (extortionate as it seems to me, though I may be wrong) £65 from Apple (bearing in mind the rotten reviews here of the Apple product), or risk a cheaper alternative from Amazon UK, at around £20 (also with various rotten reviews)... Any suggestions? Please? :-)

    Hello NotAppleSavy,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

    Hi,
    I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
    When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
    Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
    So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
    Thanks
    Tauheed Ahmad

    Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and  3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
    So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
    Thanks

    For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
    First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC

    If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.

    I just updated the software on my iPad2 and now it's asking for my passcode but I never set one. How can I fix this?

    I fixed it!!
    While not connected to any USB cable I put the iPad in recovery mode.
    To do that turn the iPad completely off. Press and hold the home button while turning the iPad on, once you see the apple logo release the home button.
    Turn on your OS X mac after it boots up connect the USB from iPod to Mac. iTunes should start. If not launch itunes.
    Perform the factory restore process paying attention to all of the screen message windows. Then set up the ipad like it was new.
