I bought a 2015 MacBook Pro 15" and want to use it in clamshell mode most of the time with an external monitor. I don't want to buy a thunderbolt monitor. I already have a TV with HDMI. If I use HDMI, is the fact that I'm using HDMI the limiting factor for the max resolution or can I still...

I just got an old PowerMac3,6 (G4 867 DP (MDD) without the hard drive. The stock drive was an UltraATA/100 hard drive. I'd like to put a more modern SATA drive inside. Any suggestions on doing this?

I used to have a mid-2010 iMac and used Target Display Mode with my PC Video card. The cable was a mini displayport (plugged into the iMac) to Mini DisplayPort (plugged into my video card). This same cable plugged into my Thunderbolt won't work. No video from the PC. Does anyone know if...

Drive went so I replaced it myself. My Time Machine backups were done prior to the crash over WiFi to my Time Capsule. When I boot off the USB recovery drive with Mountain Lion, I chose to use my Time Machine backup, but it just hangs at searching for my backup. How do I mount my Time Capsule...

I'm using Eclipse, java SDK, MySQL, tomcat (and a few other things) for development. I own a MacBook Air with 128 GB SSD drive and an iMac 27" with 1TB spindle drive. I need a solution where I can set up my environment on one machine, clone it once to the second and then sync back and forth as...

I mean iPod Touch battery replacement. I took it in recently and they gave me one in exchange for the price of the battery replacement service. First, though, they did offer to instead give me a credit towards anything in the store to recycle the iPod Touch 1st gen. I turned them down since I...

In my family, my spouse, children and I each have an iOS 5.1.1 device using the same AppleID for purchases of all kinds. I want each of us to be able to iMessage/FaceTime each other individually. For example, I contact one child without the others or my spouse getting the call/message. Is...

I had a mac.com account at one time many years ago (lets call it xyz@mac.com) and then stopped paying for it. I still use the address xyz@mac.com as my iTunes account, but couldn't get email with it since I wasn't paying for the .mac service. Fast forward to today. When I went to enable...

I own an old 2004 Apple Cinema Display 20" (Aluminium) M9177LL/A and just bought a 2012 Macbook Air. When I'm at home, I'd like to connect the Cinema Display to my closed Macbook Air, but don't know what adapter to buy. The old Apple Cinema Display has an unusual connector. Any idea what I...

I have an iPod Shuffle (3rd Gen) and I know to turn on the shuffle with the play in order setting, not shuffle. I believe my problem is related to ordering the songs in my playlist and copying the music to the shuffle. First, when I create a playlist and order the songs, does sorting...

I have Verizon FIOS so a coaxial cable has to plug into my router. Since Time Capsule has no Coax interface, I have to plug it into the Verizon router/modem. I shut off wireless on the Verizon router/modem and then connect my Time Capsule to the Verizon router/modem via an ethernet cable...

I'm trying to use my non-Apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iMac. When I first turn the computer on after having previously successfully paired it with my iMac, it asks me to hit the keys to the right of SHIFT and left of SHIFT, then it recognizes the keyboard. It is a slight nuisance that I...

I bought a MacBook Pro running Lion and when I turned it on to set it up, I came to the screen where you can migrate a Time Machine backup from ones old machine to the new one. I did the migration and it was successful. Unfortunately, I didn't use the external drive with the most up to date...

I read that expired MobileMe email addresses are being brought back for use in iCloud. I was a .Mac user many years ago and wonder if Apple is bringing the @mac.com addresses back as well. My email is still reserved as I use it right now for iTunes as my login. It would be nice if I could...

I was given an iPhone 1 back in mid-2008 when a friend bought the iPhone 2. I'd like to send the phone back to Apple for a battery replacement. There is no SIM card in the phone, as I was using it as an iPod and to surf the web over WiFi only. Will Apple accept this iPhone 1 from me if I...

Here is what I want to do. Have my computer on and iTunes open. Then, go downstairs to my Apple TV (version 1) which has nothing on the hard drive and be able to browse the music, pictures and movies on the upstairs computer's iTunes library (and play them of course). When I tried this last...

My wife's MacBook and my iMac are tied to the same iTunes account, but each of us has bought music over the last year and I would like to merge our iTunes libraries so both computers have everything. I also want any dupes removed. Anyone have an scripts, tutorials or favorite software...

I have a Time Machine backup of my computer from Saturday the 12th. On Thursday the 17th I lost some data from an app on my iPad. I have disabled automatic sync of the iPad when it is connected to iTunes and I know already how to reset my iPad to factory settings. What I need to know is...

I have a Time Machine backup of my iMac hard drive from last Saturday. I want to go back in Time Machine, pull the file which has my iPad backup, then restore this backup to my iPad. Unfortunately, when you connect the iPad to iTunes, first thing it does is sync and backup your iPad. This...
