Will my ipad air connect to my 2009 macbook pro?

I was wondering if I will need any special cables or anything?

The iPad Air will ship with the required USB cable.

Help Connect my Mid-2009 Macbook Pro to my new YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual Computer Monitor

Hi,
I am trying to connect my Mid-2009 Macbook Pro to my new YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual Computer Monitor. I am not having a lot of luck.
My machine:
OS: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
I am trying to connect it using the:
Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
DVD-D HDMI cable
YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/150788045871?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m149 7.l2649#ht_16597wt_877)
Here is what is happening.
1. I connect the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter + HDMI Cable to Monitor
2. Main monitor powers up like it is trying to display
3. Laptop Monitor displays second part of desktop
4. I can never get the Yamakasi to display a picture
Here is what I have tried:
1. Different HDMI-D cables
2. ATLONA AT-DP400 Dual Link DVI to Mini Display Port Converter
3. Zapping the P-Ram
4. Powering monitor with laptop closed
5. Forcing the system to see the second monitor
The nearest I can figure:
- The laptop does see the catsleap (it displays resolutions I can set it to)
I am completely stumped, I was hoping someone could advise me.
Thanks,
Don

Hey Kytarx,
I found the winning combination this weekend.
I tried:
- Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
- ATLONA AT-DP400 Dual Link DVI to Mini Display Port Converter
- Monoprice Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI®, DVI & DisplayPort Adapter
My experience:
- Altona didn't work at all, and their support claimed it would not.
- Monoprice didn't work to Dual DVI, it did work to HDMI (great price I wish it did)
- Apple Mini Displayport adapter did work, but would only work with certain USB + Display port combos.
The thing that was tripping me up was that two of the Dual DVI-D cords were bad. Once I found the working cord, it was easier to find the working adapter. The experience I did find to be a frustrating / expensive one. However, the Monitor itself is beautiful.
Hopefully this helps someone else..

How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

Use a mini-Displayport-to-HDMI adapter and a standard HDMI cable to connect the computer to the proper HDMI port on your computer — the one that is paired with the separate RCA audio inputs (see the TV's manual for this information). And connect the headphone port on your MBP to those inputs with a cable that has a 1/8' stereo headphone plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other. You'll also need to select the proper HDMI input in the TV's menu system, and you may have to select the headphone port as the audio output in the Sound pane of System Prefs on the Mac (or it may be selected automatically).

IPad keeps connecting and reconnecting on Macbook Pro using USB.

For the past month or so my iPad hasn't been able to connect to my 2013 Macbook Pro. I've tried solutions such as reinstalling iTunes and updating software but nothing has worked. I can connect to my PC fine but when I try to connect to the Macbook, it keeps quickly connecting and reconnecting. When I connect to the Macbook it gives me the message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected.". This seems to be a problem with the Macbook instead of the iPad. I haven't enabled it to connect over Wifi also.
I've tried looking up solutions for people who have had similar problems but I haven't yet found a solution that worked for me. Any help is much appreciated.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Ipad air sync to iTunes on MacBook Pro

I have an ipad air and every time I try to sync to my mac the sync gets to the final stage and freezes saying cancelling. The ipad appears to have finished the sync other than the photos which still say syncing and not all photos are on the ipad. I've tried the iCloud backup and disconnecting find my ipad. Any ideas?

Rebooti the MacBook Pro and reset the iPad by Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help and you are sure you have enough storage room on your iPad for the photos start searching for a corrupted photo.
Deselect all photos then do another sync. If that completes normally start syncing one album back at a time until you find the album with the bad photo.

IPad air won't sync to MacBook pro

I Tried to sync my iPad air to my MacBook pro laptop and it doesn't register under devices on iTunes. The iPad isnt even showing it as charging while plugged into the computer. I troubleshot by plugging in an iPhone 5 and it recognized that device. Do I need to get my iPad serviced? It is under warranty.

How to connect an early 2009 MacBook Pro to a TV via HDMI

I have the cables and adapter but am only getting one image when all is hooked up.......what else need I do?
I've seen youtube instructions but I seem to lack the "arrangement menu under the "displays" preference.......
Is this MacBook unable to run to a TV with HDMI plug?

Hi mate,
Two options - either turn on mirroring in the Displays Preference panel, or have a look at the arrangement section of that panel, you should see the second monitor positioned in relation to the laptop monitor - it's "extending" the desktop - move a window from your main monitor towards the second monitor's relative location as shown and you should see it appear on your TV.
If you start your movie (DVD player or whatever) in window mode, move the window to the second monitor, then make it fullscreen - it should fill your TV and play there. You may need to muck around with the aspect ratio (16:9, 16:10 or 4.3 depending on your source) to get it right on the second display. VLC does this nicely especially if your source was converted incorrectly.
Also tick the box to display the monitor settings in your menu bar - it's handy IMO.

Will the iPad Mini connect to LinkSys WRT54G Router

Will the iPad Mini connect Via WiFi to a LinkSys Wireless G Braodband Router?
The model is WRT54G V5, SN CDFBOE865514 and Firmware is the latest 1.02.8 dated 5 Oct 2009
My wife's iPad 2 connects to it well but we have been unable to connect the new iPad Mini to it.
I have read in some of your notes that the Mini will only connect to Firmware 1.02.8n.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

HT4623 When will the iPad Air be available in Malaysia?

When will the iPad Air be available in Malaysia?

No one here can answer this question. I'm sure Apple will announce it.

HT204387 Will my iPad 4 connect with a Windows's phone on Bluetooth

If you are attempting to use the Windows phone as a hotspot, yes, but I'd suggest you use WiFi instead.
To transfer files? No.

Can my iPad air connect with the blue tooth on my iphone5?

Can the iPad air connect to iPhone5 blue tooth?

If you turn on home sharing on your iPad (Settings > Music) with the same account, and it's connected to the same network as your Mac, then you should get a 'shared' option at the bottom of the Music app (possibly via a More button) - tapping on that and selecting your Mac should let see your Mac's library (via the Playlists, Artists, Songs etc tabs at the bottom of the Music app) and be able to stream its content to your iPad

IPad Air connected to iTunes - freezes when selecting movies, podcasts, etc.

New iPad Air connected to the latest update of iTunes, syncing just fine. When I select the iPad and then go to Summary - no problem, go to Apps - no problem, go to Podcasts - FREEZE. iTunes has to be shutdown using Task Manager and the iPad reconnected. The only sync settings areas I can look at are Summary, Apps, Books, Photos...any other sync setting area causes a FREEZE.
I've tried re-installing iTunes, resetting my iPad, etc., etc., etc.
Any helpful suggestions?

So I just spent an hour restoring my iPhone, then restoring from backup (40Gb filled in a 64Gn iPhone takes a while). Very interestingly, I watched all my podcasts get copied into my iPhone but they are not accessible from the Music app, nor are they found when doing a Spotlight search!
I downloaded Apple's Podcast app and they seemed to appear there (couldn't tell for sure, app is confusing and it was accessing Wifi so I diodn't know what it saw, or if it was fetching files). But of course that app has no smart folders and accessing new podcasts and podcasts based on time-length is impossible.
Oh yes, after the restore I tried clicking on the Podcasts tab and iTunes froze up again....

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.
Cheers,
Dan_nz.

There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

Methods of connecting 2009 MacBook Pro to HDTV

Hello Apple Community.
I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks 10.9.3.
I am looking for suggestions or methods to mirror/stream my MacBook Pro 2009 screen to an HDTV, either wired or wireless.
I would like to be able to just simply connect it via a standard HDMI cable like we do with all the other laptops, but my MacBook has no HDMI port.
Does anyone know how I might acheive this?
-Lt.

Alright, thanks.
So it would seem like I need an HDMI cable that has a 3.5mm audio plug on one end, if those even exist.
No. For audio, you will need something such as this:

I am assuming that the TV has RCA audio inputs.
Anyone know if there is anyway I could accomplish this over wifi or Bluetooth?
No.
Ciao.

New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup.

New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup. The TC will not allow me to delete or start a new backup disk. My 2024 MacBook Air did the same yesterday but today it backs up.

Seems to be working now. I left the MacBook on all morning trying to back up and now works.

Will my ipad air connect to my 2009 macbook pro?
