    Yes, it is possible.
    You had an issue in this individual instance.

  • I inserted an SD card into my macbook pro and it didnt prompt me that a device was inserted so I took it out. Now the camera isnt showing anything on it. How do I fix this?

    AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards.  You should use that.  Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly.  Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
    Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan.  I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole.

  • Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
    Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
    Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
    What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame?  The manual should say.

    If you can wrap some adhesive tape around a stiff business card and insert it inside and see if you can capture it.  If possible, hold the MBP in a position where gravity is your ally.
    You can open the MBP up, remove the optical drive and open it up or make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them extract it.

  • How do you insert a CD/DVD into a macbook pro drive?

    Hi, I'm a new user to macbook pro's. I just wanted to ask what should I expect when I first insert a cd into my drive for the first time? I try to put in about 3/4 in with the cd I want to insert, and there are no signs (physical/audible) that the system is recognizing I am trying to put in a CD and take the rest of it in automatically. Are you suppose to just keep jamming the CD completely in without the computer taking it in at all?

    To see if the disc has been charged, open Finder and look under Devices in the sidebar, and you must see the DVD. The MacBook Pro has a slot-in drive, so it should make a noise, but if DVDs load properly and you see it in Finder, don't worry about this

  • When I plug an HDMI cable into my Macbook Pro, it just turns itself off. Help?

    So I am trying to hook up my non-retina Macbook Pro to my HDTV to use it as a higher quality monitor, but one of two things always happens. When I try pluggingg in the HDMI, then turning on my Mac, it fails to detect the display. If I plug in the HDMI when the Mac is already on, my laptop will just turn itself off immediately. If anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if i need to get something else, it would be greatly apreciated.

    I am wondering if you may have some debris in the output port where the plug is not allowed to be fully inserted.  If not, take to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.

  • I am trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp. When asked to insert Windows 7 install disc, my MacBook Pro fails to read the disc. However it reads any other disc. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Any help?

    Thanks for anything guys.

    Sorry I'm a little late, my e-mail notifications died, I was wondering why it was so quiet. Here I thought I was getting better at this.
    Have you tried the USB thumb drive W7 installer way? I know 10.7 has an option now for installing a W7 installer iso onto a USB thumb drive but I don't know if 10.6 does. Search Google/yahoo for more information. Basically just make an iso of the W7 installer and copy it to the USB drive and it will boot via USB.
    At least I think yours can? Not sure which models work.
    Have you tried one of those CD disk cleaners? I bought one years ago and worked like a charm. (if it's dirty) It has a row of real fine bristles.
    Other then that you may have a dying drive?
    As far as games, make sure they are updated to run W7, other then that, that's Windows for ya.....

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

    Are you certain that there is nothing inside such as a mini DVD?  Does the DVD drive appear dead?  You may have to have it examined at an Apple store genius bar.

    So what you want is to be able to boot from OS X and retrieve your files
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Of course if it's not booting up, it's easier to fix in place

    ...so I am trying to boot from a USB recovery drive but when I select it nothing happens it just goes to the restore options
    "Recovery HD" is a partition on your boot drive which you option or commnad r key held at boot time to get into and then repair the Macintish HD partition.
    If you have this on a external USB thumb drive, then that's all it is, no OS X, programs or files.
    If your talking a USB external drive, it has to be a OS X bootable clone made with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and the option key held at boot time gives you that boot option.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    So what your saying is you have a external clone and by holding the option key down at boot all you get is it directly going to Recovery HD?
    There is no Startup Manager option to choose what to boot from?
    This could mean Apple changed something, or your external bootable clone isn't one, or the wrong software used so it's not being recognized by Startup Manager as a bootable option.
    What did you use to make the external OS X USB bootable drive?

  • When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing

    When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing, and I can't figure out why, nor how to stop this behavior. When I click in the upper right corner of my screen where it says "Finder", it shows the Finder as the only application running, and yet SOMETHING must be causing the CD to play. If it is an Extension that is being loaded, is it possible to terminate the Extensions one by one without restarting the computer to see which one is playing the CD?
    Is the OS9.1 operating system supposed to automatically play audio CD's when they are inserted into the iMac? Or could it be an Extension that is doing it?And if so, why is no means provided to actually CONTROL the playing of the CD (such as a control panel with PLAY, STOP, SKIP, etc. buttons)?
    On a PC, I can press Control/Alt/Delete to bring up the "Task List" that will show me ALL applications and processes currently running, and then terminate apps and processes one by one without having to restart the computer to see which one is playing the CD. Is there an equivalent way to display this information on an iMac that will show me which application or process or extension might be causing the audio CD to play, and allow me to terminate them one by one without restarting the computer until I can see which one is the "problem"?
    Jerry

    Hi, Jerry -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    Finder uses QuickTime in the background to do that, hence no specific app is shown in the Application menu (the far right item in the main menu bar) in addition to Finder.
    To unset automatic playing of CDs (and DVDs) -
    Open the QuickTime Settings control panel (Apple menu > Control Panels > QuickTime Settings).
    In that control panel, select AutoPlay from the pulldown menu in the control panel. Uncheck both the items shown in the new window. Close the control panel.
    No restart should be needed in order to make the change effective.
    Doing this will also guard against the (now ancient) AutoPlay virus, which could still be lurking somewhere on the net.

  • Keep getting a "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when I insert my printer cord into either USB port.  Recently installed a portable hard drive for back up purposes.  Related?

    Keep getting a "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when I insert my printer cord into either USB port.  Recently installed a portable hard drive for back up purposes.  Related?

    Does your printer have a slot for an SD card?  Is there are card in the slot?  If so, the computer is trying to mount that card as an external device.  It might be corrupted so that it can't be read.
