    How do I use an external display with a macbook pro?

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

  • What do I need to do to remove me when I sell my MacBook Pro?

    Hi.  I have a new MacBook Pro and am I'm selling my old one -- what do I need to delete?  Will deleting my user account take care of all my personalized data or must I go into Preferences and data logs, etc.?

    Just do a clean install of the system, make sure it does not keep a copy of your old system. If don't want to leave any trace, while installing the system go to disk utility and format the hd (0 level format)

  • Use an external monitor with my MacBook Pro

    I have my MacBook Pro (13" Spring 2010) and I would like to extend my desktop over to my Gateway FH2300 however Lion is giving me some issues.
    For one after I make my external monitor my primary monitor in the appearnce tab in Settings some apps appear on my MacBook Pro but I can't drag it over to my other dektop because my mouse cursor is confined to that monitor. In Windows 7 my 2 monitors work flaulsly and I can easily drag and work with apps in between both windows.
    What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Remember that your monitors probably aren't the same size.  Look at the placement in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.  Your mouse will only move over the section that overlaps.  Places like the bottom of this sample it won't.

  • Need help moving music collection from external hard drive to Macbook Pro

         I just bought a Macbook Pro today after my Windows desktop was bricked a few weeks ago. Luckily, I didn't lose the most important files on my pc, my music, because it was all on my Zune, as well. So, I borrowed an external hard drive, copied all of the music from my zune onto a friend's pc, and then copied it again from their pc to the external. Finally, I just plugged the external into my new mac, copied the folder within it holding my music, and hit "paste item" in the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder. Initially, everything seemed to work perfectly, however, after transferring a little over 7 of my 54gb of music, an error message appeared saying that the operation was ending because it could not transfer all files.
         I then tried playing a file off of the hard drive, a wma, and received a prompt that the file was incompatible with Quicktime player, the default for no apparent reason. I tried then opening it with iTunes, and nothing happened, as far as I could see. Naturally, my next step was to google how one would transfer wma files to a mac, and, to make matters even more confusing, all of the results seemed to tell me that iTunes should automatically convert wma files to mp3, which does not seem to be happening in my case.
         I'm still not sure why this isn't working, as I'm sure more than 7gb of my music collection is non-wma, so that doesn't even seem to be the sole issue. Any help with importing my collection would be hugely appreciated, as I'm enjoying my mac so far, but will have to return it if I can't get music on here.
         Thanks.

    One problem is that iTunes for Mac can't handle WMA files, iTunes for Windows will convert them, but not iTunes for Mac. When you add unprotected WMA files to your iTunes library (Windows only), iTunes converts them to new files that iTunes can play, based on your import settings. See if you can use your friend's PC to do this.  If the borrowed PC has iTunes, create an alternate iTunes library so you don't mess up your friend's library.  This explains how:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589

  • I am unable to use an external microphone on my MacBook Pro (17-inch Late 2008)

    I have a dilemma.  I wanted to use Skype on my MacBook Pro as I have before (successfully) but I have a new headset so I decided to plug it in and use it.  I plugged the green headphone jack into the headphone jack on the side of the computer and did likewise with the pink microphone jack into the mic/line-in hole.
    Skype seemed to work but I realized the audio output was coming through the headphone but the audio input was coming from the internal mic on the computer.  I went into Settings and found the sound control.  I tried to change from internal mic to external line in, which you can do, but there is no audio input at all then. Switch back to internal mic and all is well again.
    The headset is new and works fine on my DELL so I know the issue is in the MacBook.  If I open the sound conteol and unplug the headphone from the jack the computer knows and changes the settings right in front of me from headphones to internal speakers... as it should.  The same does not happen for the microphone.  Nothing seems to happen with the external line in port.
    I have run out of ideas.  Is there something I am missing here?  All I want to do is use the mic on the headset instead of on the laptop.  Seems simple enough.
    Thoughts?  Comments? Suggestions?  Ideas??
    Jim

    A USB mic would be the best bet. Blue make some outstanding USB mics. I would just return the one that you've purchased and buy a Blue USB mic.

  • What is the newest OS I can use on a 15-inch 2008 MacBook Pro (Early/Aluminum)

    I've read some of the other posts about this, but there seems to be a bit of confusion.

    And there are old rusty car fans whose collection
    may include the 70s Maverick and Comet twins...!
    A neighbor found an old car installed as a septic upgrade.
    Not sure that affected the operating system in a good way
    & it took an 'expert product specialist' not a genius, to fix.
    Not sure about surfing, maybe names of internet cafés?

  • How do I use two external monitors with my MacBook Pro?

    I have a 21" monitor and a 20" TV capable of VGA connection, and my MacBooks model is 5,4 (late 2009), so it only has one mini display port. I have a VGA to mini display connector and use it lots. I work on multiple projects at once, and I'd like to be able to use three screens at once... any suggestions?

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

  • How to lower the brightness of my iMac, when used as external display for my MacBook Pro?

    The keyboard brightness controlls of the iMac do not work. The keyboard brightness controlls of the MacBook only controll the MacBook. Same goes for the display set up of the MacBook, I can change the MacBooks brightness there but not the one of the secondary screen.
    I am working in a pretty dark room and that iMac 27 is at full bightness. Gives me a headache. Please help.

  • I have been using an external mouse on my Macbook Pro.  The mouse worked fine for weeks and still works great on other computers.  My problem is that my notebook stopped recognizing it for no reason.  It is funny this problem started last night. Thanks

    I do not know why the notebook stopped recognizing the external mouse. 

    I just found out that if I restart the notebook and plug in the mouse it will work flawless for a few minutes, but then something recognizes it and it stops working.  I am really fed up with Mac. It is always something.  Safari quits unexpectedly everyother day and asks me to repert the problem, which never goes through.  Safari's beachball also spins uncontrolably for hours until I press the button to force quit. It never allows me to collaborate my email with MAIL, and anytime I want to send an email it goes to an email that claims no valid password when that is clearly not the problem.  I am a proud purchaser of 3 Iphones, Ipad, Ipod nano, and a macbook pro, but I am getting sick to my stomach with this nonsense.  I have wasted a whole day!  When I asked a question last time it asked for money!  Itunes has taken back hundreds of dollars worth of songs that I have purchased, and summoned me for more money in order for me to keep them!   I can't get anything done with this mac!  Where is the customer support!? Counter productive, and I will be voicing my opinion loudly.
