Which DVI connector for MacBook Pro model 3,1?

I assume the DVI out on the 2007 MacBook Pro (model identifier 3,1) is a nonstandard DVI and requires a DVI-to-DVI adapter? It looks like a fullsize connector that I could attach with a standard DVI, but I thought I needed a 30.00 adapter, is this true?

The connector that will be used on your MBP has to reflect the input requirements of you TV. Newer ones will have HDMI inputs, older ones may have VGA. In both instances, you will have to supply audio to your TV via the audio output port of your MBP.
To give you an idea, look at these representative examples:

What is the correct part number for dvi to vga adapter for macbook pro model A1260

Can someone tell me the Apple part number for the DVI to VGA adapter that came with a Macbook Pro model A1260? (Early 2008)
My adapter has reached the end of useful life.
Thanks!

You have a MacBook Pro 15" Early 2009 (MacBook Pro 4,1)
The Mac's port is a Dual-link DVI (VGA, Composite and S-video with adapter)
The DVI connector connects to the Dual link-DVI port,thus you need a DVI to VGA adapter.

You also can search the Apple store online for the part, but it's so basic and simple that paying more for Apple's version is just for looks.

Which Hard Drive for MacBook Pro 5,5?

Hi everybody!
I bought a brand new MacBook Pro 5,5 (13,3", 2.53GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, 250GB HD) from an iStore on December 2009. It was a Xmas present from me to myself. I use it mainly for music-video recording and editing with Logic Express, Final Cut X and Ampeg SVX; also have music and movies and other stuff, so I need the space AND memory. I'm not much of a gamer, but I do play some Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Tales from Monkey Island occasionally. I like developing apps for iPod/iPhone with Xcode, but I do that very seldom.
I want do upgrade RAM and HD.
RAM:
I'm going all the way for 8GB (2x4GB). I've read that the fastest that my Mac can handle is DDR3 1066GHz, so there is no point in getting DDR3 1333GHz right?
I'm going for these modules ---> http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/8566DDR3S8GP/
Hard Drive:
I've filled up the factory 250GB drive. BTW, I have a 1TB Western Digital My Book Studio that I use for Time Machine and make a clone of my drive before any important upgrade just in case. I want to get a 500GB 7200RPM hard drive. So the question is which one of these three?:
Seagate Momentus XT ---> http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Seagate/YST9500562AS/
Seagate Momentus ---> http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Seagate/YST9500420AS/
Western Digital Scorpio Black ---> http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Western%20Digital/YWD5000BEKT/
I've heard that Western Digital makes the best hard drives out there and comparing the Scorpio Black with the Momentus the $20 extra and the 3 additional years in warranty sound like a good deal to me, since they are both equivalent (500GB 16MB 7200RPM). Now, talking about the Hydrid one, 32MB is noticeable? and 4GB of NAND memory will act like more RAM or super cache memory, I guess... I've read that is good for three things:
1. Booting up: That'll be great, but since I rarely boot up more than once a day, is it necessary?
2. Load frequently used apps: Also great, but I load everything I need and keep it in another desktop while not in use. Again, necessary?
3. Better performance?: Now, that's grrreat! If that is true, then the 8GB RAM + 4GB NAND will make my Mac noticeably faster, right? Then I'll go for it.
The thing is, with non-hybrid drives I've read that all you have to do is install the OS, copy you stuff and you're good to go. On the other hand, I've read a lot of bad things about this hybrid XT drive, stuff like it's unstable, you have to install a Firmware (how do you do that before installing the drive?), and even some guy using a jumper wire (what is that) to limit the drive's speed from 3Gb/s to 1,5Gb/s!!! (how the **** do I do that? is it really necessary?) And also good things as well, that the booting time is a LOT faster and also it's very fast at loading apps.
Well, I hope you can help me!
Thank you for reading
Cheers.

MacBook Pro 5,5 (13,3") Mid 2009; 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor; 4GB (2x2GB) RAM; Factory 250GB 54000RPM HD; OS X Lion 1.7.2
iPod Touch 3rd Generation 32GB; iOS 5

Did you ever get this solved? I am having a very similar problem. I haven't tried replacing the hard drive yet. When I boot into the Recovery HD, disk utility works fine and says the HD is fine.

Which FireWire Cable for Macbook Pro to Macbook Pro Migration Assistant?

Hi,
I've just purchased a new Macbook Pro 15" (standard - not retina display) and am planning to transfer my files via the Migration Assistant. My question is, I currently have a mid 2009 macbook pro (2.8GHz, 4GB) and was wondering which firewire cable I need to purchase - there are so many different types!
Thanks!

Hold T and boot the old Mac's drive to the desktop of the new one or do so during Setup Assistant or later with Migration Assistant.
Setup Assistant runs only once, at first startup when fresh out of the box or when freshly reinstalled from scratch. Migration Assistant is a regular application found in the Utilites folder.
If you're going to move all your stuff over, the easiest and least problematic way is via Setup Assistant. Since the computer is in a completely blank state when SA runs, it can create identical user accounts, permissions, etc., as the original source. MA is an app that runs on an already configured and running system and, hence, can't duplicate user accounts, modify permissions that are already in use, etc.: this can cause vexing issues for new users that may not be to well versed in multiuser operating system administration.

Which incar charger for Macbook pro ?

Advise please - I need to charge my Macbook pro 15"(2011)in the car, and having looked around it seems like the choice is;
a Belkin AC Anywhere - 300W DC/AC Power Inverter for £15.87 (Amazon)
or
HyperMac Pure DC Car Charger (Protronica) for £119.95
Seems a no-brainer does anyone know of a reason I shouldn't get the Belkin?
The HyperMac says "it is the ONLY non-Apple solution that supports the MacBook Pro dual voltage (16.5~18.5V) operation." Do I need to worry about this?

I have been also looking into getting a car charger and also an external batter and I have to agree with what hypermac say on their website that using a set up transformer and then step down the voltage agian with the normal apple charger is not an option I would liek to consider. in the way of efficieny it is not great you have two transformers radiating heat out so thats a mass of energy down the drain already. and also the comment they made on changing the current form DC to AC then from AC back to DC does not seem very good.
Personally I would suggest buy the airline adapter from apple and then get the Hypermac stuffs. also if you use the Airline apater version rather than the Hypermac box thingy where oyu have to modify the cable it will be an easy thign just plugging in the airline adapter into another adapter so its simple for peopel who dont like messing around with cables I think
I would of cause be interested to hear other peoples opinions on this.
sadly I gotta say I am very dissapoited that apple do not have their own car charger. and also even more a backup battery this is a real downfall I have to say which dissapoints me. Since you cannot just simplly swap the internal battery in the mac.

DVI Input for MacBook Pro

I purchased an SRS wow viewsonic LCD TV and a boxwave apple MacBook Pro17'' mini display port to DVI cable so I could display movies through my laptop onto my TV. When I plugged in the cable to the DVI Socket, it was completely unresponsive. Do I need to purchase a specific DVI cable for this brand of LCD or is there a way to fix it though the settings menu on the TV? I am a complete novice with any form of technology so any help would be greatly appreciated

Does something like that exist
See if the stuff at http://www.elgato.com might do the trick. Otherwise, no. The MBP does not have any kind of video input capabilities.

I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

Provided the computer-end fits, you are free to use one with a HIGHER Wattage rating. No damage whatsoever will be done to any component, but it will likely run cooler (but may be slightly heavier).
If you use one with too LOW a Wattage rating, you will not be able to charge and run at the same time, and your computer's top speed (for its most intensive computations) will be limited.

Which Retina MacBook Pro Model to Buy?

Hi everyone!
I am studying engineering and are about to buy a new notebook. I have been using macs since 2008, so that is an obvious choice. I am also sick of my hard drive, so I want SSD models for sure. And I have tried out the retina models and I am certain I want one of those. Beyond that I am hesitant which one to buy.
I am an engineering college student. Here is what I need it for:
- mostly everyday stuff
- I don't mind if I can edit a full HD video conveniently on it once in a while, I don't mind however if I have to wait 3 minutes longer for it to export a video
- I regularly have to do some CAD editing (that would be done under windows) this is however merely stuff that are needed for college, so we are not talking about entire power plants with billions of parts being loaded onto the screen, but rather smaller constructions
- I never play video games. Somehow I don't feel the need, so that's not a factor for me whatsoever
- I have tested the 13 and 15 for wheight, and I find the 15 to be fairly light too, so I don't think portability is a major issue with either machine
However performance-wise I can't decide.
For the activities listed above should I go for 15 or would a 13 suffice? I am aware of the imminent upgrades, and OS X Mavericks as well.
Thanks for your advice.

Not sure you know this but you can put a SSD in any standard computer, including all Macbook Pro models. Nothing new about that. It is just Apple doesn't offer the standard MBP with a SSD as standard equipment. A SSD can be included during the ordering process or you can install one yourself. An even better option is to install one of the hybrid SSD+Rotating HDD being offered by Seagate. It combines the speed of a SSD and the storage space of a conventional HDD for much less than a real SSD.

Which 2012 13" MacBook Pro model is worth buying?

I was wondering which 2012 13 inch MacBook Pro I should buy. I can see that there is a difference between the models in their processors and RAM but I don't really know what good they would do for me as a student and casual gamer. Which model is worth buying for my needs and can you please explain why? I know that there is almost a $300 difference between them, but I have no idea if paying more is really necessary.
Thanks.

Yes, in the case of memory 8GB will cover everything, at tops the system (OS X Mavericks) uses around 4GB to run smoothly leaving the rest for programs to run. Even memory intensive games or photoshop use around 2GB leaving some free for 'movement' I have been using 8GB when video editing (2 screens) and very rarely slow up and when it does slow down that's due to my slow harddrive. For what you need highly recommend an 8GB (Welcome to the reassurance of macs, good choice). Happy to help

Is there a compatibility guide for SSDs in the late 2011 macbook pro model?

Is there a compatibility guide for SSDs in the late 2011 macbook pro model? I'm looking to purchase a 15.4" Late 2011 Macbook pro and was looking a SATA3 SSD that was supported (outside of the ones provided by Apple). Does anyone have any success stories they wish to share? I assume the problem with secondary bay and SATA3 has still not been resolved.

Have you looked at the OWC web site? They specialize in Mac peripherals and they have a good line of SSDs and secondary bays as well. My experience with them has been good but I am not ready for SSDs. For my needs the cost/benefits are not there.
Ciao.

Which browser is best for macbook pro?

Which browser is best for macbook pro.
I have used Safari for a couple of years but have been told recently that I would be better switching to Chrome

The best browser for you depends on your specific needs; as you can install multiple browsers without them interfering with each other, download Firefox, Chrome, and any others you'd like to try out, and pick the one which works best for you.
