Using MBP screen with G5

is there a way of connecting my G5 to my MBP so that I can switch between screens on MBP?
as i want to get rid of the crt monitor.
it gives me headaches...

Not that I know of, people often ask a similar question regarding the iMac and the answer is the same. Because the laptop has not direct dvi/vga in port there's no way for you to feed the signal from your desktop to the laptop's display.
If the crt is giving you a headache buy a new lcd display. Apple (of course) makes an excellent monitor, but if you don't want to spend that much money samgsung has an excellent display for a lot less $$$

Rmbp crushes when using full screen with Aperture

I already updated my rmbp to Mountain Lion and updated my Aperture with the latest version.
My rmbp crushes in full screen after I use the Quick Brushes tool. My rmbp shows a message in four languages and restarts...
But if I don't use full screen everything is ok...

The message in four languages indicates a "kernal panic". These crashes are system wide, and should be avoided.
Unfortunately, that's all I can offer. You might search for "Aperture full screen kernal panic". As this seems to be repeatable, you should submit a bug report to Apple via "Aperture➞Provide Aperture feedback".
One small thing: does it happen with no external devices attached (second monitor, mouse, etc.)?

Can i use imac screen with another comp?

hi all - can i use my imac screen with my g4 powermac?
I like to run it but my old monitor is big and ugly - be nice to feed into my sexy g5 imac screen
advice - as ever - appreciated

I don't think so. You could use Remote Desktop, but it would be slow and annoying, and it costs more than a decent 19" ViewSonic.
But that would be nice. I'd love to run even my iMac G4 into my wife's iMac G5 screen.

Why can't I use split screen with my Microsoft and internet??

I don't understand why I could use the split screen with Microsoft Windows open before, and cannot now. It just sudden'y stopped working. No matter What I try it won't allow me to view both the internet and what I am typing in Microsoft windows. Am I doing

Using MBP Speakers with output

is there any way (like when im running xp) that i can have my speakers on as well as my external speakers?

To use an external display with your MBP in clamshell mode, you must have the AC adapter connected, as this Apple article describes:

Using MBP 15" with Griffin Elevator, Display is "wiggling"

Hi Apple Support Communitiy,
i just bought the Griffin Elevator for my MacBook Pro 15" late 2012 to work more ergonomically.
At the first view I liked the Elevator very much but trying it out I now see that the Notebook Display is "wiggling" while I'm e.g. typing at my wireless Keyboard on the same table on which the Elevator stands. The "wiggling" is not really disturbing except of FaceTime but my question is: Can the wiggling come along with Disadvantages for my hardware, for example that the hinges begin to slack or that my harddrive suffers from wiggling or is it just normal and all right for my MacBook?
Thank you in advance for your help,
regards
Niklas

YES. In contrast to the sedate and safe life of a desktop, a portable is much more fraught to damage. Just note that AppleCare needs to be purchased and activated while the base warranty is in effect. Meaning you buy the box when you have about a month left and hence don't have to plonk the cash up front.
Since you will inevitably have the joy of the Lion (or even the Mountain Lion if you don't purchase before the summer), I can now tell you that 64-bit fat cat does not run well in 4GB. At least not for normal use, much less for power use. So RAM will probably be the first order of the day, upgrade-wise. I just put in a Corsair 8GB upgrade kit that cost $45. Had I ordered mine with 8GB from Apple, that would have set me back $200. OR, I could have spent the $200 on a Corsair 16GB upgrade kit. Yeah, I know, Apple says 8GB is the max, but for the current model ("Late 2011"), the 8GB sticks work just fine, though they're still pricy. I'll stick with 8 for now (2x4GB).
Another thing to note is that the only way to get the antiglare finish is with the widescreen option. And that will add to the cost, unfortunately.

MBP Display with G5

Is there any way of using my MBP screen with my G5 tower? they both have DVI if that makes any difference...
I'm selling my G5 and I don't want the buyer coming to my home (weirdos out there, you know!) and I don't want to haul my 20" monitor to Starbucks.
Any input would be appreciated.

DVI is irrelevant, as the ports on both machines are output only (the MBP doesn't have a 'video in'). You need ScreenRecycler. The demo version should do the trick for you.

Using Cinema Display with mid-2010 MBP, post-Yosemite: corrupted MBP screen

For a couple years I've been using a 27" Cinema Display attached to my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15". The dual-display setup works great for my home setup.
However, since upgrading to Yosemite, the MBP display often completely corrupts and reverts to complete gibberish, with fragments of the UI and desktop littered all about the screen. Dragging a window over to that screen usually "redraws" it sufficiently enough to keep working, but soon the problem re-appears. The screen of the CInema Display (my main working area) never corrupts, only the MBP screen.
My setup worked great in Mavericks, but something in Yosemite isn't driving both displays properly. Can anything be done, aside from downgrading to Mavericks?
Andy

I am having this exact same problem. 2010 iMac with NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256MB. I have it hooked to a 30" display through a DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter. The 30" is fine, but I have graphical corruption constantly on the main iMac screen.
This all started as soon as I updated to Yosemite a couple days ago.

On my 2012 MBP I can no longer use dual screens/HDMI after upgrading to 10.8.2. I'm using Moshi Thunderbolt adapter

I think you are sailing in uncharted waters with those kind of modifications.
I am only guessing, but if you have not already done so, do a PRAM reset and then trash your FCP preferences.

I've also notice when I start the computer up, it stays on the grey screen longer than it did when I had the original card (512 mb).
My understanding is the Mac is doing a ram/hardware test during the grey screen, if the card you added had additional memory, then it is very likely the test will take longer - but I am no hardware expert.

MBP (2010) stuck in grey screen with Apple logo no matter what I do.

Hi everybody,
I know this issue has been posted many times in the past, and I have searched everywhere, but I am quickly running out of option but to repartition/reformat and do a clean install. I have important files on my computer (I know! Back up! Back up! Back up!) and need your help to preferably regain full access to my system or somehow find access to my files so I could transfer them to an external hdd.
From two days ago my as I was browing the net through Google Chrome my computer all of a sudden started to show the sippinig beach ball and became completely unresponsive. I could not force shut down any program or restart the system. So, I held down the power button and forced the system to shut down. When I rebooted the MB it all began going haywire. The boot process gets stuck in a grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel (not the beach ball) for a long time. After that I get the mouse pointer, and if I move that it turns to the spinning beach ball and nothing happens except that the screen flashes between silver and grey colors.
So here are the steps I have taken as to "attempt" to fix the issue (I have followed these instructions: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353) :
1. Went into startup manager and ran the disk utility to verify disk volume and permissions. Everything seems to be OK.
2. Conducted a PRAM reset. No change.
3. Conducted a SMC reset. No change.
4. I did a fsck -fy run (in command mode) on startup. No change.
5. Ran the system in verbose mode and got the following error: "BootCacheControl : Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist"
6. And lastly, I created 10.8 OSX image on a USB stick and reinstalled ML one more time only to get stuck at the same place yet again.
Additionally, I can see my computer from my wife's MBP also running ML for a while. The folder that I have set the permission to be available, I can access! I have moved some files, but naturally the files that I want are in folders that have restricted network access. That just tells me the hard itself should be fine (perhaps).
I am running out of ideas fast to save the system. If anyone can help me, I'd be immensely grateful. Thanks.
Amir

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Before reconnecting an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode.* The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Post for further instructions.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see above for instructions.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it produces. Look for the line "Permissions repaired successfully" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Boot into Recovery again. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
Step 8
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Using MBP with Viewsonic LCD

Hi, I am trying to use a ViewSonic Monitor (1680X1050, dynamic contrast 4000:1) with my MBP (leapord 10.5.2). I cannot get the colors to look normal - any suggestions?

Sure. If I am showing a slide from a presentation, the whole slide is displayed on the MBP screen but only a portion of the slide is displayed thru the LCD projector onto the screen. It looks as if the MBP display settings need to be adjusted for the presentation. I am thinking that is the problem, because I can actually click on the presentation slide displayed on the MBP and move it around the computer screen so that it is correctly displayed thru the LCD projector onto the display screen. I am just not sue which display setting I should use when projecting thru an LCD projector.

MBP keeps crashing when using Internet Tethering with iPhone4

I have had 2 crashes today of my new 13" MBP (I7 CPU, 8 Gb RAM, SSD) while using Ethernet Tethering with iPhone4. This is really embarrassing. I have used PC all my life and this is my first Mac. It's been many years since I have seen Blue screen of death on my PC. I have always heard about super reliability of Mac and could not believed my eyes when I saw the black message. Software industry moved long way improving reliability but looks like Mac team is moving in other direction. Unacceptable!

Same with my MacBook Pro!
I was really upset with this issue.
I got it in early March 2011, just only one month and a few days.
I always connected via USB tethering, it did work.
The problem just started yesterday, it almost 10 times after connect internet.
I called to the technical support and they told me to update to 10.6.7 (Mine was 10.6.6)
Then I updated and it went well (which I found out later that cuz I use the WiFi to connected) for the rest of the day.
But after I came back home and connected via USB , it crashed again.
Then I decided to go to the store at 5th ave. , they checked for a 10 minutes and told me to backup all my data and take it back to them.
Let see what is going to happen next.
