Using Logitech Speakers With MacBook

I have a new macbook and I've recently inherited an old full set of logitech X-540 speakers from a friend. I haven't set them up yet because I'm afraid that there might be compatibility problems or they might ruin my macbook. Do I have anything to worry about?

An Airport Express would do the job.

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

You can't downgrade the iOS.
Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

HT3986 when i use windows 7 with macbook pro ,the fan work hardly,how do i fix it?

when i use windows 7 with macbook pro ,the fan work hardly,how do i fix it?

Use InputRemapper
This is one or only utility I know, there are I am sure one or two others.
And the weakest link in running Windows on Mac: lack of thermal/SMC fan control to manage air flow and heat!

Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime? How do I do that?

They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)

Using external Pro Speakers with MacBook...?

Is there a jack-pluc adapter af any sort that can enable me to use my 'Pro Speakers' with my MacBook?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

These jacks are also common with mobile phones and dont cost more than a few dollars. A quick search on ebay shows

I have no affiliation with eBay or anything like that. But at least it gives you an idea of what they look like. I have a few of these for my various mobile phones.

Nano using Logitech Speakers ----

I'm having this problem using my nano with Logitech MM50 speakers. When I plug in headphones it works, but when I plop the nano in the docking area of the Logitech speaker box, I get no audio sound?
In checking to see if the docking station works, I plop in my IPod Video and it works fine? Any suggestions or comments is greatly appreciated.

EQ has nothing to do with it. The original nano firmware had the occasional difficulty switching from headphones to line out connections. Hold down the menu and select buttons for several seconds to reboot the Nano. Most of the time this will solve the problem but I would recommend you update your firmware with the ipod updater to 1.1 or higher which has supposdly fixed this problem. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60944

Using Apple remote with macbook display closed

Hi ,
I have a macbook connected to LCD TV with HDMI connection .
Is there a way to use Apple remote with display closed .
examples of using apple remote with display closed would be
(1) waking the macbook with apple remote
(2) putting the macbook to sleep with apple remote
(3) Shutting down the macbook with apple remote
(4) accessing front row (using LCD TV as Display )
while doing this should I connect the macbook to power source.
please point me to any documentation / solutions available .
I don't have any external keyboard or mouse connected to macbook . I just want to use Apple remote to do the above functions .
Thanks
Suresh

Hi suresh,
as mentioned here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
and
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300562
you must have to have a keyboard or mouse to trigger the macbook wake up from sleep when you close the lid.
usb mouse is not that expensive and you can start with that.
Good Luck

Is it possible to use two speakers with one Apple Tv ?

Hello everyone,
I bought an Apple Tv and I have one apple express with a Bose speaker and a Bose Link Air speaker.
I would like to see a movie using the two speakers but every time that I try to select two speakers in the airplay Apple Tv menu, it automatically deselect the other speaker.
Is it possible to use two speakers in the same time ? ( I know it's possible with Itunes)
Thank,
Ps: I have the last Apple TV

No, that is not possible with Apple TV. You can set one 'output' via Apple TV, and 'stream' to multiple speakers from iTunes or via the remote app.

Using digital projector with macbook

A basic question from an escaped PC user.
What keystroke is used to tell my macbook to send the display output to an external projector?
I need the equivalent of the F8 key I used on my work supplied PC laptop
I have purchased the link cable so the hardware side is OK .

As usual with a apple you don't need to do anything! I use mine for presentations and you just plug the projector in and hey presto.
You can adjust the screen setting in System prefs, Displays.
If you use iWork, Keynotes is great using this setup. You can run the display on the projector and get a real host of info. up on the MacBook display.

Using FCP 7 with Macbook Pro Retina Display?

Hi there
I am one of the many editor that won't be moving to FCPX and sticking with FCP 7 for the time being.
My question is has anyone used FCP 7 with the new Retina Macbook Pros ?
I'm basically looking to see it FCP 7 is useable on the retina display to help me to decide to buy one or not....My current Macbook Pro is nearly 4 years old and crying for an update but there a few concerns with the new model
1. Screen resolution is actually lower running FCP 7 and other software that isn't optimised for retina display?
2. No Firewire ports
3. No audio input
Any help really appreciated

FCP 7 is no longer in apples update lists so there is a chance that it has issues with the newer hardware (thunderbolt). I would guess there must be a firewire 800 PCIe card that could be used via a thunderbolt doc but how fcp is going to behave with it remains to be seen. Also FCP should not be able to take advantage of the retina display for the reason above.
Of course someone with such a macbook pro and fcp could always jump in this thread and clarify matters for all.
Good luck

Using logitech mouse on Macbook Pro

Why can't I use logitech mouse on my macro pro? My macbook is running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 system. It is a 2012 one.

Logitech have their own Control Center panes and/or a LCC Connection Utility app. They are located either in System Preferences and/or inside the Utility folder. You will need to go into it to either re-do your settings and/or update its drivers if optional.
You are lacking details about your mouse. Suggest you contact Logitech tech support for further help if the suggestions already posted do not work for you.

Using Logitech Headsets with Rosetta Stone on Mavericks

Rosetta cannot find the Logitech Headset with microphone. I googled it and there was a fix using the Midi Tool in Utilities, which fixed their problem but not mine. When I go to Preferences>Sound>Input or Output- I can choose the Logitech Headset and words spoken register on the gauge, but Rosetta does not see it.

This is great! I've got one follow-on problem to this, though: My format rate seems to keep snapping back to 16000, and breaking until I go back and fix it again (32000 works fine for me). Any idea how to twiddle things so that 32000 is the default for my device?

Using external speakers with iPad

Hey, I have the cool imac ball speakers, these:
http://www.vectronicsappleworld.com/collection/articlepics/g4imac/snap45.jpg
But the plug on the speakers is a little to small. Is there an adapter that I can get that will allow me to use these speakers?
thanks,
Jeff

Be careful - I think I owned a set of those Apple speakers at one time, and IIRC they weren't just normal speakers, hence the special plug. You could conceivably damage the iPad or whatever else you plug them into, if I'm remembering this right.
Edit: Do a Google or whatever search for "Apple Pro Speakers" and you'll find various articles on compatibility, hacking them for a PC, etc.
