How to Connect a Motorola S10


Turn off any other devices that you have previously paired with the headset. Leaving these devices active may prevent the headset from pairing properly with your computer. Press the S10-HD's power button in the center of the headset to turn on the device.
Check that the headset's status light is blue, indicating that the device is fully charged. If you need to charge the headset, connect one end of the S10-HD's USB cable to the port near the center of headset, and then connect the remaining end of the cable to one of the USB ports on the left side of the MacBook Pro.
Log into your MacBook Pro and find the Bluetooth icon on the right side of the menu bar. Click on the icon to open the 'Bluetooth' menu. Check that Bluetooth is on and the 'Discoverable' setting is enabled.
Select the 'Set Up Bluetooth Device...' option from the Bluetooth menu. This will open the 'Bluetooth Setub Assistant' window, displaying a list of any active Bluetooth devices that your MacBook Pro is able to detect. Select the SD10-HD from the list of devices. Click 'Continue' to pair the headset with your computer.
Click on the icon of an apple on the right side of the menu bar. Open the 'System Preferences' window and click on the icon labeled 'Sound.' Browse the settings labeled 'Output' and 'Input' and select the SD10-HD as the designated device on both screens. Put on the headphones and click on the volume slider to test the volume.

How to Test a Power Adapter on a Mac (6 Steps)


Connect the 'Magsafe' end of the connector to the power supply port on the left side of the Mac laptop. Connect the two-pronged power supply to a wall outlet or power strip. The light on the 'Magsafe' connector end should light up. If it does not, proceed to Step 2.
Verify a secure connection. Gently pull out the Magsafe connector, then reconnect it to the laptop. Wait a few seconds for the status light to come on. If it does not, unplug the power supply and try another wall outlet or power strip outlet.
Turn on the laptop. Once the Mac OS X desktop loads, click the 'battery icon' in the upper right of the screen. Look for either 'Battery is charged' or 'Battery is charging' in the drop-down menu. If you see neither of these phrases, proceed to Step 4.
Unplug the power supply again from the wall outlet or power strip. Verify that the 'adapter' plug on the end remains securely in place. The Apple power adapter has a removable plug that allows you to connect the Apple power supply extension cable; check that the removable plug remains firmly in place.
Reconnect the power supply plug to the outlet. If the status light still does not turn on or the 'battery icon' does not indicate a fully charged battery or charging battery, proceed to Step 6.
Unplug the 'Magsafe' end of the adapter from the computer. Reconnect it to another Mac laptop. Note that some Apple adapters have different 'Magsafe' plugs, including barrel-shaped, T-shaped and L-style plugs. Verify that your adapter matches the power supply port on the second Mac laptop before connecting. If the second laptop begins charging, the issue lies with the first laptop and the adapter is functioning properly. If the second laptop fails to begin charging, you'll need a replacement power adapter.

How do I Verify a MacBook S.M.A.R.T. Status? (5 Steps)


Double-click on your 'Macintosh HD' drive from your desktop and then click on the 'Applications' folder.
Click on the 'Utilities' folder and then double-click on the 'Disk Utility' application. The Disk Utility dialog box will then appear on your screen.
Click on the drive that you want to check the S.M.A.R.T. status for from the right side of the dialog box.
Locate the S.M.A.R.T. Status field located on the bottom of the dialog box. If the status reads 'Verified,' your hardware is safe, but if the status reads 'About to Fail,' you should take action by backing up your hard drive immediately.
Close out of the Disk Utility application after checking your S.M.A.R.T. status or perform any other changes, such as repairing the disk.
