Using MBP with Epson Powerlite 1835 projector

I tried connecting my MBP to an Epson Powerlite 1835 projector (using VGA adapter), but it wouldn't play my movie through iDVD. It would, however, access my iPhoto program (it was a menu option) and sometimes I would see my screen -- but never the video.
The projector is property of a party hall being rented for my neice's rehearsal dinner, at which time we want to show the video I've produced.
I've since seen this model project for sale on Apple website. It says you connect via standard USB cable (which I did NOT attempt). Again, I used the VGA adapter.
Anybody know how to make this work?
Thanks,
Terry D

You will need to check with Epson and see what type of connections they have and then buy the proper adaptor in the Apple Store, like this: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC953ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE
This is the only one that will mirror the output on your iPad 2.

IPAD 2 compatible with Epson PowerLite 710c Projector?

Hi!
I am thinking of buying aI Epson PowerLite 710c Projector to use with my IPAD 2 during my classtime.
Is this possible or a waste of money to buy? If it does, do I need additional adapters that any of you know of?
Appreciate any input you have. I am trying to somehow simplify my life with this type of presentation in my special education class.

HDMI and Epson PowerLite X12 Projector

I use a an Epson PowerLite X12 Projector with my computer and Smart Board. (I want the projector to project my computer screen on the board).
My new HP Envy doesn't have serial ports so I was told that I could use HDMI.
Unfortunately I can't get one or the other to recognize.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I use this everyday in my science classes.
Thanks

Marria,
Here are the specs for your HP ENVY 23se-d394 TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model doesn't have any kind (VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.) of video OUTPUT port. The specs do indicate that this model may have an HDMI video INPUT port for use with video players and game consoles.
If you computer has an HDMI port, it is strictly for video INPUT and will not drive an external display. To use an external display with this model will require the use of a USB-to-video adapter, such as the eVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or one of many other adapters on the market. I recommend the eVGA UV Plus+ UV39, as I have this adapter and know that it works with my HP TouchSmart 320-1120m CTO Desktop Computer.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Help! Purchased used MBP with admin password, want to install OSX Leopard!

I purchased a used MBP with Tiger. The seller sold me a laptop with a password! I can log into the computer but I can't install programs (it asks for the password).
I don't have the original Tiger disks.
*If I purchase OSX Leopard tomorrow at the Apple Store, will I be able to install Leopard? Will it ask me for the password? Is there ANYWAY to get around this?*
*Do I have to buy a completely new hard drive to install to?* If I do I'll be really upset. I thought this was a good deal but I guess not if I have to pay for all this...

The machine is set to use "automatic login" that is why it does not require a password on boot up.
Boot from the Tiger Install DVD and choose Reset Password under the drop down menu on the top menu bar. You did get the OS disks with the machine, correct?
It will search the machine for all admin accounts and you can choose which one you want to reset.
And FYI, you always need the password of an admin account to install software. It is one of the safety features of OS X.
Installing 10.5 (Leopard) is your choice but it is not required to get you out of this jam if you have the 10.4 (Tiger) DVD. But you will need to boot from the 10.5 DVD and then decide what kind of install you want to do. If it was me, I would erase and install and start clean with legal software and applications.

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.

Using MBP with Seagate GoFlex HDD?

Hello, I bought a new MBP with retina screen yesterday and need to hook it to my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex exterior HDD. The laptop has no firewire port of course, so should I purchase a Thunderbolt cable to lash them together successfully?
Thanks much!

Across the internet. Say we record a guitar track at his house, and then we can just upload it to the NAS.
Then when I am home I can add some synth tracks.. back and forth we can add parts.
I just tested it this morning to see if I could actually connect to it at work and (I use a PC at work)
I have no problems here at all drag/drop just fine. But trying to get him connected it fails.

Thunderbolt display problems using MBP with lid closed

I am experiencing a very reproducible problem since purchasing aThunderbolt display to use with a recent (1 month old) Macbook Pro 13"2.7GHz i7.
I use my MBP with lid closed with myThunderbolt display. If Ithen allow the MBP to sleep and power down, on restarting it the WiFi hasstopped working- the menu bar says I am connected by WiFi but Safari will notconnect to the internet and Time Machine cannot connect to the Airport/TimeCapsule to backup. Nothing I do will fix it (shutting down all programs, turingWiFi off then on) and so I have to shutdown/reboot BUT THEN the MBP freezesduring shutdown (waiting 15, 20, 30 minutes!) and I have to hold down the powerbutton (hard reboot). Once I reboot everything works fine UNTIL I take a breakand the computer goes to sleep again.
Doesn't seem to be a problem with the MBP lid open, but I needto test this a bit more to be sure...
On top of this the Bluetooth trackpad now keeps going on andoff; connected, not connected despite being near or the computer. Veryirritating at best, unusable at worst. This only started to be a major problem(every 10-15 minutes or so) when I started to use the Thunderbolt display.
These problems seems to be in some ways similar to anotherthread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16205098#16205098
("Major problemswith Thunderbolt display & MBAir")
I have applied the recent Thunderbolt Firmware update, and SMC& PRAM/NVRAM resets. Interestingly these seemed to work initially but thenafter a prolonged power-down period the problem has recurred. Back to square 1.
Any ideas out there?

Just to be clear, have you installed everything that you find on this page?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4644
I just talked to Apple Care about Thunderbolt issues in general and even though I already had the Thunderbolt Software Update installed, he had me reinstall it. If you go to this page:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16889000#16889000
you can read in detail about the issues I was having which have for the most part been remedied (for now at least!)
The Thunderbolt cable definitely transfers heat for some reason even when there isn't a high CPU utilization. The process 'kernel_task' seems to be where the API for thunderbolt is running. But for some reason, the behavior of CPU Utilization to Fan Speed is amplified when connected to the TBD.
Apple Care is researching it.

Used MBP with mountain lion

hi there,
and please excuse my questions as I'm new to Mac.
I bought a used MBP late 2011, with mountain lion on it. however when I go to app store, it shows mountain lion for 19USD. why is that. and if I reset my mac will it go back to the previous lion OSX??

The link below, that part under the name Kappy, explains what the previous owner should have done before he sold you the machine.
Take a look through and you will probably be able to work out what to do next. It all depends on how close these rules have been followed.

Using MBP with with the lid closed

I have done some searching for tips on using the MBP with the lid closed and there is some conflicting information. I'm hoping people who use their Apple laptops in this way can help clarify a few things.
First, as I understand it, the MBP will operate with the lid closed if there is a connected power cord, mouse, keyboard, and external display. I plan to use mine with a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard. (More details from Apple can be found here.)
These are my questions:
1) I've heard people issue warnings about laptops overheating when running closed, but it seems Apple endorses using the MBP this way. Is heat really a problem, or are people just spreading misconceptions by predicting an early demise for a laptop used in this way?
2) Can the MBP be turned on/off when closed, or only put to sleep? I want to keep my MBP on a shelf that makes it inconvenient to open every time I want to shut down or power up. I suspect putting it to sleep will be good enough, but if I can shut down and power up without opening the lid, that would be preferable.
3) I've read that the MBP can be glitchy when waking from sleep in the closed-lid configuration. According to some people it sometimes won't wake up and requires at restart. Am I fooling myself into thinking sleep can replace shutting down?
Thanks.

1) As long as you don't place anything between the keyboard and screen, you should be fine. There have been worries about display damage due to heat rising up from the keyboard, but no substantiated reports of real damage occuring.
2) You can obviously turn the MBP off while closed by choosing Apple > Shut Down; powering back on requires pressing the power button. Another option would be enabling the Wake on LAN feature in Energy Saver preferences.
3) AFAIK, the problems are with deep sleep and occur regardless of whether the lid is closed or not. I've not had any problems waking my MBP from sleep, but I always shut it down for the night.

How to use MBP with monitor?

I have a 2011 MBP 13" and want to use with a larger monitor when at home. Can I use with any other monitor or do I have to have an Apple monitor.
Ideally I would like the cheapest option but want the resolution and quality to be the same on the MBP and the monitor.
I will be using the monitor with a keyboard or mouse so the MBP can be shut!
I will appreciate any help.

Using MBP with LCD HDTV

So I've been looking at getting a new LCD HDTV. Someone said that I needed to get a minimum of a 42'' and also at least 1080p resolution. I was going to hook this all up using the HDMI out into a DVI in the TV.
Is this true? What are your set ups? I'm pretty anxious. I want to use this for movies but also possibly as an external monitor (I know a little ridiculous, but not all the time). Let me know guys! Thanks.

It is easier than you think. First, get a TV with at least 2 HDMI ports. You may wish to connect the other to a HDTV DVR (cable or satellite) or even an HD-DVD/BluRay player.
Next, measure the distance. This is critical. 1080p has TWICE as much bandwidth used as a 1080i signal.
Now, open a new tab in your browser (Apple+T) and go to my favorite cable guys www.bluejeanscable.com I say they are my favorite as they were courteous and honest. Alan Denke, the proprietor of the business, answered truthfully when I asked if his cheapest line of DVI-HDMI cables, the Tartan series, would make it at 50 feet. He asked what kind of hardware I was connecting. I told him, "Well, a brand new 47-inch Vizio with 1080p native support, and a 2.4GHz MacBook Pro." It was then that he said the display didn't really matter, but the source did. And he said the MBP would work just fine.
Cable arrived here from Oregon in one business day, though I didn't pay anything extra for it. Just plain old Priority Mail.
It was then I learned I needed about 30 feet, rather than 50. Remember the step up there where it says ,"Measure?" Yeah, I guesstimated. I kept the cable though, thinking that some day I might use the computer in the kitchen or something.
Now, you'll need to get appropriate playback software. Quicktime just doesn't do .ts (transport stream) files, nor does it do .mkv (Matroska Video Codek) files. It ought to, but it won't. So, no Front Row for HD playback at 1080i. There is hope on the Open Source horizon, though. Go off and open another tab to direct yourself to www.videolan.org
The latest release even has support for the Apple Remote!
Getting audio to your setup is a slightly different thing, but can be done with parts from (ugh) radio shag. For analog audio (which is fine for me as my system don't do any better with digital input), just get a 1/8" STEREO (will have 3 conductors [or two 'rings']) to dual RCA out. They usually have 3 and 6 foot versions of this cable. To extend, you've got 3 options: 8', 16' or 20' male to female 1/8" stereo.
Hope this info helped. If you haven't bought your lcd tv yet, take a look at Vizio. I believe them to be the best bang for the buck out there.

Using PSE13 with Epson Perfection V600 Scanner

I own an Epson Perfection V600 scanner and have always preferred the TWAIN driver (see TWAIN not installed | Photoshop Elements 9 and later) over WIA. Since installing PSE13 64 Bit I no longer have Adobe's TWAIN driver.
I recommend using Epson's latest scan utility (last update 7/29/13), running it independently of PSE13, and importing into PSE13 later. The quality is much better than WIA.

Seems the problem was a conflict with another program I have. The Epson software installed after I resolved the problem. I do wish the Epson support people knew more about their software since they were no help at all.

Using MBP with lid down

Will this be a problem heat wise?

It shouldn't be. But if you're really worried, just get something like iStat pro and compare the temps.

Cable to connect Epson Powerlite 76c?

After reading the great reviews, I just purchased an Epson Powerlite 76c projector. What cable is required to connect this with my iBook?

...i think any cable that has the heaphone size on one end and read white and yellow cords on the other end should work the same
That is NOT correct. The Apple AV cable is the only cable to use. See KB 88040, iBook (FireWire) and iBook (Dual USB): Composite Video Cable Not Interchangeable With Similar Cables.
