How do connect a Canon MX870 all-in-one printer to a MacBook Pro?

User Avatar

Asked by Robin

You just set the printer up just like you would another computer or other networking device.

If using Wireless make sure the printer has the network SSID (the name of your network), the encryption (WPA-2) and the correct password. Set the DHCP (IPv4) to auto and it should receive the IP address.

Try going to Canons support site and make sure you have the latest drivers and if you don't have the manual then download the manual for free.

Asked by Wiki User

There are 7 ways to take a screenshot on a Mac. If you want to take a screenshot of the entire screen click Shift + Command + 3. If you want to take a screenshot of a portion of the screen that you have chosen click Shift + Command + 4. These are the 2 most common ways. As I am unable to post a link I will try to post it with spaces in the address. Remove the space and add www to go to a site that explains in detail all 7 ways.

What is Macbook?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A MacBook is a type of laptop computer made by apple (the people who make ipods). They are very good computers, except a bit more expensive than other brands of computers but i think they are worth the extra money. They are very good with creative things, like editing, music and all that. Also they use a different operating system that is not Windows, which most computers use, it uses something called Mac OSX (Mac Operating System 10) which is otherwise known as Leopard.

Can Apple MacBooks get viruses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Absolutely.

Just look at the increasing number of products available in the Anti-Virus range for Apple.

Apple have traditionally had a small market share, so have not been a target for viruses, particularly given those who write the viruses do so for notoriety in many cases.

Viruses can be written for any software, including Apple.

Apple have been fortunate in the past, but don't be fooled. If you have an Apple, you are open to viruses, malware and hacker attacks. If you don't have virus protection, you are far more at risk than a Windows PC with virus protection.

Can you jailbreak your MacBook Air?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The MacBook Air is a laptop and is a normal full featured computer, running a fully featured MacOS like the other laptops that Apple make's. It is not a "dumbed down" or "minimized" Netbook. There is nothing to jailbreak on a Mac Laptop.

"Jail-breaking" refers to "Hacking" a tablet or smartphone "iOS" like the iPhone, iPad, etc.

To Jailbreak something means to bypass (or unlock) the security features of the OS to run unauthorized applications, or to use another cell company. You can then download ANY games or applications that you could not other wise down load because of the 'Lockdown' status the manufacturer puts on it's products.

They do it to keep poorly written applications, etc, from making the device run slow, using excess battery life, possibly getting malware or a virus and then the customer blaming the manufacturer because the device is crashing or running very slowly. Use caution and common sense if you intend on jail-breaking a device.

What features are included with least expensive MacBook?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The least expensive MacBook has all of the features of a regular MacBook, but only comes with an i3 processor. This means the computer will run a bit slower than a more expensive MacBook. If you don't get a MacBook Pro, you will not have access to any "pro" versions of the applications such as QuickTime. You will have to buy those separately :)

As far as I know, the only MackBooks available to the general public are the Air, the Pro, and the Pro with Retina. All models come with either an i5 or an 17 processor, and either 4GB of RAM or 8GB of RAM. The major differences between all models boils down to storage and graphics cards. The Airs have Solid State drives in 64GB or 128 GB for the 11" model to 128GB or 256GB for the 13". The MacBook Pro gets a serious graphics card (for CAD, 3D design, hard-core gaming) in the 15" model. If an advanced graphics card is what you're after, I suggest going for the 15" Pro with the 8 gigs of RAM and the 750 gig hard drive.

Is iPad better than MacBook Pro?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on what you want to do. The Macbook Pro is a full fledged computer that can do anything you would expect a computer to do. The iPad can only hold 64GB of memory unlike the Macbook Pro which can hold 500GB. If you need a self-contained mobile device that can handle documents, photos, presentations spreadsheets and other common files, as well as playing music and movies, the iPad is a compact and portable solution. The MacBook Pro is a better choice if you must run specific full-featured software programs, such as Adobe Creative Suite, advanced features in Microsoft Office or any program that requires Adobe Flash, although you can work with many Creative Suite and Office files on the iPad.
