• try to migrate data from a macbook pro to another using thunderbolt cable.  Cable is not recognized, why?

  replace a 3 years old macbook pro with a new - try to migrate data using thunderbolt cable.  When the cable is plugged into laptops, its not known how to fix this?

  The two Macs have a Thunderbolt port?  The old Mac may have a mini displayport that is used for video only, but accepts a Thunderbolt since video Jack mini displayport is a subset of Thunderbolt.

  In addition, you use a bolt of lightning and not a cable mini displayport? They look alike at first sight, but Thunderbolt should have an icon of lightning on each card.

  Also, if you look in System profiler

• Crash of MacBook, iMac with SATA-USB cable files

  Hello.

  My Macbook (2006) took a nose dive after a very solid 10 years of use. He has been blocked on the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinning equipment. Forever. Would not boot mode safe mode or Recovery Mode. I accepted this.

  I'm currently trying join my school for the HARD of MB my iMac disk files. I removed the drive HARD internal of the MB. I have a SATA cable / USB. I plugged the cable on my iMac and initially nothing was recognized even if I could hear the disk rotation. After about 2-3 minutes I got a message telling me the disc HARD cannot be repaired, but I could always transfer files. Great! That's all I wanted to do. Well, the HARD drive appeared in the Finder and I tried to navigate to find important files I got a message telling me that the HARD drive has been expelled irregularly. So I disconnect it, plug it in. Another few minutes and I get the same message (cannot be repaired), but this time I have no HARD drive in the Finder. I tried to run first aid at the disk in disk utility, without success. Now I can't even pop-up in the Finder or disk utility when I plug. I can hear it running, but nothing happens, and then I get a message "disc not eject properly.

  My question is this: How can I get information from this my iMac HARD drive? Is there anything else I need to do? All I want to do is pull my notes of the current semester. Nothing else on this HARD drive as it was basically just a web browser/treatment for the past year.

  FWIW: I think I was running Lion as an operating system on the laptop that I couldn't progresses from here with updates. I'm under El Capitan on my iMac.

  Even if you already shot the player, have you considered using Disk Mode target instead?

  Target disk mode, indeed, turns your Mac into a 'external drive '. In this mode, you can connect your defective Mac to Mac via FireWire or Thunderbolt and see the contents of the disc of the CMA on your Mac, as if the drive was an external drive. This not only allows you to easily access the data on the hard drive of the Mac, it also allows you to use the material of a Mac to boot another Mac operating system and data.

  To access the target disk Mode, reboot your Mac and hold down the T key as soon as you hear the startup chime. Keep now until you see a FireWire logo or white Thunderbolt appear on the screen (depending on the hardware capabilities of your Mac). Now, you can directly connect your Mac to Mac defective with the appropriate cable and access the drive of this Mac. When you are done, unmount the drive of the defective Mac from your Mac running OS X, then press on and hold the power button / stop the Mac defective until the system turns off.

• External hard drive (Seagate) not readable after the ejection using Thunderbolt cable

  Not sure where this question fits as this seems to be a Thunderbolt cable problem but here goes...

  I have 4 TB Seagate Backup Plus external drives for archiving with two drives - backup A and B backup - and two interfaces, a basis of love at first sight and a standard basis of USB3.

  Using the basis of love at first sight that I backed up to 1.5 TB of data on a Mac logged to A disk and ejected from backup format. When I reassembled A backup to verify the data Finder says the drive is not a recognizable car and I had to reformat. I thought that I must have crashed head or something like the disc was still running when I pulled it off the base of love at first sight. When I got tired to reformat the drive in disk utility only 500 GB of the 4TB were available for formatting, so I thought that I've certainly got to have damaged it.

  Then I saved my 1.5 TB of data to a second drive Seagate Backup Plus (backup B) but when I eject this drive (this time I waited to stop and pulled the power over the base before you remove the disk) and then lift the drive that the same error came in the Finder. Suspecting it was the Thunderbolt interface I swapped backup to the base of the USB3 B and all the data is there! I checked A backup and even if she had to be reformatted this time all the 4 TB of capacity was available.

  I also have a Rugged Lacie 2 TB drive with a Firewire interface and it seems to work just fine so maybe the Thunderbolt Apple cable or Seagate sight base. I don't have a second Thunderbolt cable to test with at the moment.

  As a secondary issue readers are not run down after eject either. The heads are parked, but readers continue so I have to pull the power and wait that it happen down before I can remove basic USB3 disks or love at first sight. This problem, even if it's embarrassing, I can live with. In the foreseeable future I'll use the basis of the USB3.

  Everyone knows about this problem before? It sounds really weird.

  I can only give you my opinion of WD boxes and I'm afraid that's not good. My experience with WD boxes have always been bad. My suggestion is to try another TB cable and see if that's it, if not then try to connect another device to your iMac Thunderbolt and test to see if it is the iMac, which I doubt it is. If this isn't the cable or the iMac, then you know that it's the condom. If the disks are recoverable from the speaker, remove them and get a TB of high-quality speaker. My vote goes to OWC (www.macworld.com) pregnant Thunderbolt.

• What is a substitute for the migration assistant? I tried in vain for three hours to migrate files from a macbook pro to each other so that even if connected with the ethernet cable the computers never see each other.

  What is a substitute for the migration assistant? I tried in vain for three hours to migrate files from a macbook pro to each other so that even if connected with the ethernet cable the computers never see each other.

  You can connect otherwise?  USB or FireWire or love at first sight?  You can connect both machines and start the one you want to transfer to target disk mode.  If your other machine is up and running with an account on it and you just want to move files, you can simply drag and drop the FRO the machine mounted TDM, or you can use the migration wizard.

  Or, if the other machine still starts and runs, you can start both computers and connect to the same wifi network and share the hard drive like machines on the network.  Access them in the finder on the new machine files and drag-and - drop, or use the wizard migration, on wifi.

• Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

  I use a MacBook Air, 13-inch, mid 2013, OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. I am interested in Apple TV. With this product I was able to connect my Epson EB - S18 projector to my Mac in order to project movies that I bought on iTunes on my wall of the apartment? Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself? Must they be downloaded in SD and not HD? Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port? Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector? Please notify.

  Thank you very much.

  Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

  Yes! AirPlay with an AppleTV is the easiest to use and less complicated solution.

  SD / HD makes no difference.

  You will only be able to enjoy the full quality of an HD movie with a better projector however. This model projector is not really intended for presentation of home theater. It will work well. As you can imagine that there is no upper limit on the amount, you can overlook these things, but $2000 is going to buy a nice home theater projector these days. A few years ago, you would need to spend $ 50,000 or more.

  Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself?

  No, not if you bought (or leased) from iTunes. They have to play on any device compatible iTunes. You can even use AirPlay to distribute it to your AppleTV from an iPhone.

  Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port?

  Yes.

  Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector?

  Not without a converter. Avoid using the VGA if possible. It's a terribly outdated and generally horrible alternative to any digital standard. Since your MBA has a port Thunderbolt, and if your projector has a HDMI input, buy a cheap (± $10) Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter cable. But AirPlay is preferable to a wired connection.

• rMbp mid-2014, external display with the quality of the retina

  Hello!

  I buy a Dell 24 "external display to connect to my rMBP with QHD (2 560 x 1 440) resolution.

  http://www1.euro.Dell.com/content/products/ProductDetails.aspx/Dell-u2515h-monit or? c = en & l = en & s = dhs & cs = frdhs1

  I have connected the screen to my mbp with the mini display / port cable supplied with the display screen. It works well, but I don't have quality of retina at all (the images seems good but the text is terrible)

  The text have a bad record as a retina screen, and it makes a big difference when I spend my retina display to the external display which is not comfortable at all.

  I though that this kind of screen was OK to view the retina... but I was wrong. I try to connect with minidisplay / display and HDMI! HDMI made was worse than minidisplay. The res in the system report show was good 2 560 x 1 440. I even try the hack to force with the patch, but always bad RGB render text...

  More important, I want to, it's having the same record as retina on the text and images. What external display can be good for this?

  My budget is 450-€500

  Thank you

  The size in pixels of the screen is not mean much: a small display to 2560 x 1440 pixels seems much sharper than a widescreen 2560 x 1440 pixels.

  Your retina Macbook has something like 220 dpi (DPI in English), the Dell screen only 117. If you want the same sharpness, you will need to choose a display with 220 dpi. But then, everything on the screen will look much smaller. Here is a tool that allows you to get the idea: http://dpi.lv/

• Lenovo $ X 1 display and MacBook (retina)

  Today, I took delivery of a new Lenovo $ X 1 screen. Specifically, I chose this screen for my MacBook because it supports USB - C; I can finally get rid of the dongle USB Apple-C and run all of a single cable, as nature intended. However, even if the monitor works fine with a cable HDMI (not 4K of course), I can't have my Macbook to recognize it when I connect just using the USB - C cable. It is not the USB hub to the screen, but not the display part. Does anyone have experience getting this screen to work? I tried the two Apple USB - C that came with the Macbook and the cable USB - C provided by Lenovo.

  Thank you

  And with my third cable usb - c, I got it working.

• Lightroom CC 2015.2.1 D800 import slow with attached USB cable

  Hello

  When I join the MacBook Pro retina the D800 with a cable USB 3 (various) (end of 2012), not all images are displayed in the import dialog, and if all images are marked for import and import is started, nothing happens. When I do not start the import of images and wait a few minutes and reopen the import dialog, all the images are displayed correctly. When you import then all images, also nothing happens and the images are imported after waiting a few minutes. The time-out period is about 5-10 minutes until Lightroom starts to import images from the camera on the disk.

  Import of images of D800 with a USB cable for Mac OS "Fotos" app works normal and without problems (or wait time). Now, my solution is to import images into Mac OS app "Fotos" and then import these files to image imported into Lightroom.

  I hope that the new import dialog will change the old, that was quick, easy and reliable!

  Thanks for help and best regards,

  Matthias

  The latest updates of Lightroom (dating back to the former import dialogue) solved the problem. When attaching the camera to the port USB to import is as fast as it was before. I tested several times, and none of the problems described above appear (images appear instantly in the import dialog and import is then very fast).

  I also always use the SD slot, but sometimes I only have pictures on CF card, so the SD card does not help then. To this end, the problem was really annoying!

• Satellite L650-13D - Supports Full - HD TV with an HDMI cable?

  I can conclude that the satellite-13D-L650 Full - HD TV with a HDMI cable?

  Hello

  Full HD means you need a resolution of screen of 1920 x 1080 and all new workbooks or let's say graphics cards support this resolution of the screen.

  Just check the display properties in the display driver if you can select the resolution of the screen but I'm sure it's possible.

• I am trying to configure my laptop so I can watch a show on my TV with an HDMI cable. It doesn, t work

  I have a Pavilion dv7 laptop.  Windows 7 64-bit.  I am watching a video from my laptop to my tv using a HDMI cable and can't seem to get that issue.  Is there a key to seting it upward?

  Hello

  1. first thing I would check: the cable itself, which is its HDMI version, you may need 1.3 or higher? What is your TV (brand, model)?

  2 with the right cable, try the following steps

  (a) turn off the television and laptop

  ends (b) connecting cable

  (c) turn on the TV menu TV allows to accept PC signals (laptop)

  (d) turn on the laptop, go to display you should see TWO screens (1 and 2), select TV

  Kind regards
