    screen turns white while using my macbook

    Does the situation change by changing the position of the screen?
    Which model, year, size and OS are you running?

  • Is it possible for another Mac to view my own, i.e watch what I do while using the computer, without interfering and using it themselves?

    Nothing serious, I just wondered whether other people in my household could view my computer as I use it without me knowing?

    Hey mate.
    Yeah, there are plenty of programs out there that can do this, in corporate environments, you can understand how this kind of thing might be handy (watching employees etc).
    Applications like JollysFastVNC or Chicken of the VNC, or even the in-built Screen Sharing option in the Finder (so long as the computer that is being watched has 'Screen Sharing' enabled in the System Preferences > Sharing menu.
    However, in most cases, if you go to Remote Management > Computer Settings > and tick "Show Remote Management icon in the task bar" - This will basically show a pair of Binoculars when no one is watching your screen, and it will show binoculars inside a screen when someone is watching you, handy for those aforementioned employees (hehe ;D)
    Hope this helps mate!

  • Mac os x yosemite 10.10.1 still lags and bugs while using macbook pro retina 13inch i5 mid 2014

    i just got macbook pro retina and i upgraded to yosemite 10.10.1 its still have bugs and lags a lot , does anybody feel the same ,
    its not smooth at all ..

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

  • Mac Book Pro - while browsing the internet, i hear ads but do not see them. an ad will start talking while i am watching netflix or anything else but there is no window to close. what is this and how do i get rid of it?

    when i am browsing the internet, i use google chrome, several pop ups open in new windows and i have to constantly close them. some windows even open up and the sound of an iphone ringtone is playing and i have to click on leave this page in order to close the window. some windows open up and say my computer may be infected and suggest downloading "mac keeper" to keep my laptop safe, which i did not do. and the most annoying one is while i am watching netflix or any movie using the internet, i will hear ads playing while the movie is playing but when i go to look for an ad to close there is none. it will go on and off as the movie is playing. what should i do?!?!?!

  • I get Error Code: S7363-1266-48444350 when trying to watch Netflix

    I am unable to watch Netflix on my iMac using Safari. I get the Error Code: S7363-1266-48444350 my monitor isn't HDCP complaint. Tried Chrome but got this Malware crap I had to remove.
    Yosemite 10.10.2

    A poster named Barney - 15E posted a possible workaround in:
    HDCP error: can't play iTunes movies or netflix with yosemite
    Enable the Develop menu in Safari's preferences, Advanced.
    When using Netflix, In the Develop menu, select User Agent>Firefox - Mac.
    Or, you can just install Firefox and use that for viewing Netflix.

    I would guess that the HDMI port on your mac is for output only - no input, and that's what your'e attempting to do when you attach the mac to your xbox. I looked in Mactracker and it lists the HDMI port as video output for both the 13" Retina MacBook Pro and the 15" Retina MacBook Pro (your post didn't say which one you have), so looks like that is the issue..

  • What cable do I need to connect my Macbook to my tv to watch netflix, What cable do I need to connect my Macbook to my tv to watch netflix

    I would like to link my MacBook up with my HD tv to watch netflix, for example.  How do I do this?

    The model 5,2 has a Mini-DVI port. You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter and a cable from that to your TV Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_16?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini-dvi+to+hdmi&sprefix=mini-dvi+to+hdmi%2Ccomputers%2C287
    When you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. If you do have an audio input for one of the HDMI plugs on your TV you run an audio cord from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV

  • HT4241 how do i watch netflix from my macbook to a vizio hdtv bought the hdmi adapter for the hdmi cable

    How do you watch netflix from your macbook to your hdtv

    Have you selected the appropriate input from the TVs perspective using the TV remote? If that isn't enough, check the settings in System Preferences > Displays, and if you don't have sound, System Preferences > Sound.

  • Close MacBook Pro while using MDP- HDMI adaptor ?

    I have the Moshi MDP-HDMI adaptor. It works very well and transports audio well too.
    I just want to know if it is possible to close the lid of the MacBook Pro while using MDP->HDMI adaptor ? (as in stopping it from going into sleep mode) So that it can be stowed neatly under the display unit when watching movies/presentations etc. rather than the lid having to be open a couple of inches...

    That can be done but there are conditions that must be met. For example, the MBP needs to be plugged into its power adapter. And then an external keyboard and mouse are needed. See here:

  • I am trying to watch Netflix using Apple TV and it constantly stops to buffer. I have restarted it several times.

    I am trying to watch Netflix on my Apple TV and it keeps buffering. I have restarted it several times.

    ATV is wireless.  DNS is set to Auto.  It's not my network. 
    The ATV's performance with Netflix (only App I tried) was worse using Google's DNS as others have suggested.  The problem with the Netflix App (for me) only occurred after the latest iOS update to ATV, and it seems to have affected only the Netflix App. 
    As I mentioned in my original comment, the Vizio in my room (which happens to be further from the WiFi source) runs just fine and streams Netflix with no issues.  In fact, we can run it while simultaneously streaming on the ATV and the Vizio Netflix App still doesn't skip a beat.  I can simultaneously run two or three other laptops on WiFi (since my wife and I both work from home) and she'll have the Vizio streaming the entire time and there are no issues. 
    If we switch the ATV to Hulu+ (or other Apps), it runs fine, but the shows my kids want to watch are on Netflix.  All indications point to the Netflix App and an issue endemic to Apple.

  • I have a Macbook Pro, and I'm wanting to be able to plug it into my TV to watch Netflix. What cord(s) do I need to buy??

    I have a Macbook Pro, and I'm wanting to be able to plug it into my TV to watch Netflix. What cord(s) do I need to buy??

    I do this sometimes and it works well.
    First of all more info is required like the macbook pro model identifier number found in 3 steps by first selecting the Apple Menu in the far top left, next select About This Mac and finally click the more info button. It should open under hardware and the second line has the number. (ex.) 2,1 or 4,1. With this info a person can look up the HD or other video out port to HDMI or SVGA monitor input.
    Secondly what type of T.V monitor do you have? Is it HD or an older CRT. Does it have multiple types of inputs? Some are limited.
    I dont want to start a list for every version MacBookPro but older MBP's can use an HDMI to DVI adapter.
    Hope this is helpful... If not get back to me.

  • Firefox turning off display while watching Netflix in fullscreen

    While watching Netflix in fullscreen the display will automatically turn off, as if due to inactivity. This was never a problem while using Chrome. I'm using Windows 7 and do have an adblock plugin running in the background. I have already tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.
    I realise that I could turn this off completely in Windows, but I'd rather switch back to Chrome given the choice between the two.
    I did a lot of googling and no one else seems to have had this problem before, so your help would be appreciated!

    I've seen a monitor power button on another OEM's AIO. This is also on my wish list It's such a green thing to do. However, it may cause confusion for folks who won't remember which one is the system power button vs the monitor power button leading to a support call (my PC won't resume from Standby or stays at a black/blank screen). I'm sure it can be designed/already designed by someone/somewhere
    For the time being, how do you feel about either
    1.  Creating a shortcut to the blank screensaver (C:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr) on the desktop and clicking on that to invoke this immediately
    OR
    2.  setting the screensaver to "Blank" and set it for 1 minute
    before you go to bed?
    And there's the 3rd option: Just drape a black cover over the screen/unit, but keep the PC's vents unobstructed.
