Using a Smart TV with my iMac & Macbook Pro

Im a photographer and just purchased a Samsung Smart TV to use in the studio for client consults to show photo slideshows and sales sessions so basically sharing what is on my iMac/MacBookPro screen on the Smart TV. The TV is connected to the network via wireless (airport extreme) but it wont find the devices. Do I need a special app to run on the iMac/Book - if so which ones ...

I have a Samsung also I downloaded eyeconnect trial version from elgato and it worked. Trial ran out found out it cost $50. Looking for something else it may be worth it to you.

OS X Lion is not being included as an install DVD with new Macs. (It does come pre-installed.) Apple is offering a $69 USB stick with Lion pre-installed for owners would like to own a solid state means of recovery. Lion is strictly internet based with its recovery features - in other words - Macs will need to be able to connect to the internet to restore a computer with HDD failure (or some other issue where you need to restore the system.)

After researching this topic, I found the placing an old SIM card in a new iPad would be impossible. There is no way for consumers to remove the back cover... Without dropping it off a building. My best suggestion: Use the current plan up first. Then buy a new plan.

Can I use a NTSC monitor with my European MacBook Pro?

Hi
I moved from Europe to the US and took my Macbook Pro with me. Now I need a second computer monitor (thinking Dell u2410). Can I buy one here in the US or will the whole PAL vs. NTSC thing have an effect?
Thanks for helping
Cheers
Jakob

It will be fine. A Dell U2410 or any other monitor will work fine with your MacBook Pro.
PAL vs. NTSC is not a consideration in computer displays. It really pertains only to video encoding (as in movies/DVDs/TV broadcasts), not the video output from the miniDisplayPort on your MacBook Pro.
Also, FYI, you can play both PAL and NTSC videos/DVDs on your MacBook Pro and show them on your external monitor.

Can I use Office:Mac 2004 with my new MacBook Pro

I just got a brand new MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to install my office:mac 2004 edition, but it seems to not be working. Do I have to repurchace office:mac or can I just upgrade.

The 2004 version of Office will not work on Mac OS X Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8) because it uses Power PC code. Power PC support was dropped in Lion and later. Version 2008 or 2011 should work fine.

Anyone using two external LCD with a recent MacBook Pro?

Hello,
Does Thunderbolt support chaining multiple monitors(e.g. non Apple Thunderbolt Display) to a MacBook Pro?
A Thunderbolt hub will be required, some external HD have two TunderBolt ports. A device with three ports will be required (one input, two ouptputs).
Anyone have seen such device ?

Can I use an LG GP08LU11 with a 2012 MacBook Pro Retina?

I have the above super drive. It is USB2.0 and shows up as a remote drive in Finder but I cannot Get Info on the drive or see the DVD that I have put into it.

You could purchase 2 mini displayport to DVI adapters ($30 ea) and use the 2 Thunderbolt ports. I have one external DVI monitor connected to 1 of my Thunderbolt ports. Works great!
Sorry my mistake. You said non-Retina.

Use of iPhone 6 with Yosemite on Macbook Pro

My Apple ID (password and email) are different from my iCloud ID. This prevents me from being able to answer cell calls on the laptop. How can I change either the Apple ID or iCloud ID so they are the same sign in and account?

After several restarts of the older Mac, they now see each other in the Airdrop window. I forgot to write that I already set the Airdrop window on the newer Mac to show older Macs before. The restarts helped in a way. I don't know what was wrong.

Apogee Duet One with the new MacBook Pro?

Can I still use my old Duet with the new Macbook Pro? I know the Firewire 400 is gone. is there a workaround?
Thanks

You would need a FireWire 400-800 adapter, and (with the Retina Display model) a Thunderbolt-FireWire adapter.

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

On your Mac.......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
Click Erase Disk
On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
The operation will only take a few minutes.
Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs. Back up one Mac first, then back up the other. Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

I just bought a new iMac and now I amtrying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don’t have a MiniDisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don’t have. Isthere any way to connect this two mac’s anyway??

Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system. 10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines. Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist. There are no Firewire to USB cables.

How to use my earpods with my 2012 macbook pro

I can not get the inline microphone to work on my earpods with my 2012 macbook pro. It will not reconize it. Help please!

I have an A1286(Early 2011) MBP with OS X 10.8.2. Using my headphone jack with earpods has been sporadic. Sometimes I get the mic, sometimes I don't. I just now took a paper clip and worked it around inside the jack. I plugged my headphones back in appears to be working. Could be something inside the jack is bent and not making contact with the mic part of the plug.
Your mileage may vary. I assume no liability if you damage something.
Tried it again and it doesn't seem to be working anymore. For my MBP I think it is a hardware issue. Either dust or something is getting in between the contacts and the plug or the contacts are just not touching the plug. I'm gonna take a crack at dismantling my MBP and see if it's something simple like bending the contacts so they touch the headphone plug.

Can I connect and use a Dell projection unit..several years old...with my new Macbook Pro? do i just need an adaptor for the multi-pin plug?

I would like to use my old Dell projection unit with my new Macbook Pro laptop, but obviously there is no such plug in the Macbook. Is there an adaptor I can connect and make it work? Without the old "F" keys, how do I get the Macbook to provide output to the projection unit? I don't see an icon on a button anywhere?
Thanks for any help... trying to become a good Apple user.
MarkT

You have to determine what connection options are available on the projector. You probably will need a Mini-displayport (Thunderbolt) adapter. that can accommodate the projector.
Ciao.

HT3224 What cable can I use to transfer data from a 2008 MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Pro with thunderbolt?

What cable can I use to transfer data from a 2008 MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Pro with thunderbolt?

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
