Macbook Pro Core i7, late 2010 model

Connected it to my TV with a mini displayport to HDMI connector.

Now my built in sound has disappeared.

I tried the reset PRAM thing, it didn't work.

The built in sound is not appearing as an option in the sound section at all.

Any ideas ?

[sinizter]

Fixed, Q-tip gently agitated within the headphone port.

Apparently a common problem.

Anyone know how to wifi a pic from mac to iPhone ?

I have a nice little app called scotty (phototomac ) which is great for phone to mac.

Cheers

You mean something like photostream?

What do you have in the Audio MIDI Setup window?

[BenM77]

Hmm, I haven't upgraded iPhoto yet as I am not using photo stream yet.

Can you add old pics to photo stream ?

Dunno... Haven't tried it. Hold on...


Yup. Just drag the photo to the 'photo stream' bit in the toolbar.

Thanks, think I will upgrade then, they still need to give us a delete option for pics in the photostream which I am sure will happen.

Yup, seems odd, but then it all does have a very much beta feel about it.

Bought a new laptop today, have installed iTunes but how do I copy across the music library from my iPhone to my new laptop?

Current library is stored on work PC but will have to be deleted soon, hence the need to t/f to home.

[Melvin Udall]

On the work PC, copy the entire iTunes folder, and replace the iTunes folder on new computer. iTunes will be as you left it then.

Otherwise, use sharepod, or detune to take your stuff off.

how do you move old iPhone pics to the photo stream folder? i've tried pressing the share button, but it only brings up email, tweet, message and print.

How do I get Finder to search subfolders.

I have a folder, with many subfolders. In each subfolder is XXXX.part01.rar. When I try and expand this with RAR Expander it prompts for the location of the part02, repeat many times. Not feasible.

What I want is a way of essentially displaying *.rar in a certain directory, allowing me to Cut them into another directory from which I can expand the archive.

This seems to be impossible!

You just put all the rar parts into the same folder, then run Stuff it Expanded.
Set Prefs to expand in same folder.
If that's what you're doing already, then there's a problem with part 2 - try redownloading, just in case it was corrupted (highly unlikely IMO)

Thats the problem, I have 30 subfolders, each with a part of the larger RAR file. I need a way of getting them into one folder. In windows this is a case of CTRL + F, typing *.RAR then ticking 'Search sub folders'. This then gives me a list of files I can copy and paste into one folder, ready for expansion.

[LordGrover]

New to OS X but guessing it's be similar to:

ls -R|grep .rar|cp 'wherever'

I think this is my first case of 'Jobs, you , why can't I do this really simple task, really simply'.

You know it is simple, don't you?

1) Navigate to the folder containing the folder containing the .rar files.
2) In search bar put ".rar"
3) Choose between search mac or the folder.

I even made a mockup for you.


Folder "1" containing folders, each with a .rtf file in there, named differently.




Whilst having the main folder "1", do the search, and select "1" rather than "mac"




Job jobbed.

I see, it didn't work unless I was in list view with the folders expanded for some reason!

Thanks!

Works in any view. You just have to make sure the folder you want to search is selected first.
