macbook

I was using a Canon Pixma MP240 for my printing and scanning needs until it stopped printing. What was strange is that my Macbook recognized the printer, showed it in System Preferences as my default printer, and I was able to open its printing queue; it just constantly said "Printing..." and...

Hi there A while ago I snapped my headphone jack inside the macbook socket, tried getting it out through various means to no avail, and now the port is full of superglue and therefore, unfixable. What I was wondering was, is there some way I can get my internal speakers to work again? As...

I have an older 23" Mac HD Cinema Display monitor with an ADC connector. I just purchased a 15" MacBook Pro and want to use the 23" display. The Apple Store where I purchased the notebook sold me a DVI to MiniDisplay. But I was told I would need to buy an ADC DVI adapter that Apple no longer...

I thought it would be simple to move a recording of a wedding I made on the MZ-R70, using a cable with stereo mini jacks on either end, from the headphone 'out' socket on the MZ-R70, to microphone 'in' on the MacBook, but nothing turns up when I select PLAY on the MZ-R70. I have audacity. I am...

I have a 17" MacBook Pro and a MicroTek X6EL SCSI flatbed scanner. Obviously, there's no SCSI card in a MacBook Pro, so can anyone tell me if there's any way to use a SCSI scanner with a MacBook Pro? I kind of doubt it, but I thought I'd post this anyway, just in case there's some kind of...

Hi there, I just bought a 13" 2.4Ghz Macbook Pro yesterday and upon installing programs for it, I found out that it doesn't support Sony Cybershot DSC-T900. I still have the installation CD, it CAN be opened but the files CANNOT be read. It seems that all the files are not compatible because...

Good Day, I have recently replaced the hard drive on my mid-2007 15" Macbook Pro, and now I can't put the thing to sleep when closing the lid. I can sleep it with menu commands, etc, just not when closing the lid. I've read other threads about this but they all seem to revolve around a...

I have an unibody aluminium MacBook. (The 13 inch model - before Apple changed the specs and re-released it as a "MacBook Pro"). I've been trying to narrate a voiceover in iMovie today, and the sound quality from the internal microphone is terrible! Muffled and ringing machine noise in the...

I have a macbook core duo that will simply not power up. With either battery or powercord, when pressing the power button "nothing" happens. No sound. No light. NOTHING. However, I you wait and just WAIT....sometimes like 20 minutes or more...it will suddenly power on and work just fine but the...

I have a Macbook about 4 years old that suddenly started making a clicking sound when I start up and I get the flashing folder with ?. I restarted with the OSX system disc but when I get to the step to select a destination volume, there is no volume listed. I also tried restarting holding...

Hello All Im running 10.6.3 on a 13" Aluminium Macbook (5,1) and am experiencing choppy / laggy graphics with the NVidia GeForce 9400M graphics card but only when running on battery power. When I am running on AC power, the graphics are smooth with no issues. The graphics are choppy when...

I have a 1998 VHS tape of a family event I want to import into either iDVD or iMovie. I have a VHS player with both audio & tape banana plugs and the "S" connector. I have a digital Sony movie camera (about 8 years old) and it doesn't have AV & Vid inputs or an S input, only outputs. Is there...

First, the drive WILL still play CDs and DVDs. I have happily used this internal "Superdrive" for about a year. Without warning, when trying to burn data with Toast 10 on a DL-DVD+R, I received a Sense Key = Medium Error sense Code = 0x73, 0x03. Searching I discovered that this means a...

I'm using a MacBook, Mac OS 10.5.8. I've downloaded the driver for HP LaserJet m1319f MFP and the printer worked fine when I connect it directly to my MacBook (using USB connection). The problem is that printer is supposed to be connected to our office network users through a TP-Link Print...

Hello all, As I have mentioned in an earlier post, I have only recently switched to a 15'' 2.53 GHz Core Duo MacBook Pro, after many years of living in the Windows world. I am really excited with the switch, as the Mac is way ahead than my previous PCs in terms of stability, functionality...

I did nearly six hours intense work on my MacBook Pro yesterday (Photoshop, Indesign, updating software and numerous other tasks). I don't have a temperature gauge in my menu bar, so I don't know how hot the MacBook became, except it was quite hot to touch at the back. Can this happen?

I see all the new Macbook Pros advertised on Apple's web site are an 'aluminium' colour (not surprising given the aluminium unibody design). However, the body of my three week old Macbook Pro is gold in colour. Is the gold version something new?

I have a Macbook Pro and have recently bought a Samsung P2370 monitor so that I have a larger monitor to work on photos in Photoshop. I've got the monitor working, the problem is I can't calibrate it. I have a Huey MEU101 calibrator and it's allowing me to calibrate the macbook monitor, but...

For about a week now my Macbook has been somewhat noisy. The first time it happened I was using it in my lap, so I wrote it off as it being the fans acting up. I let it cool down for the night and picked it up the next morning but there was the same noise (a sort of 'brr', back and forth...
