There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.
Command-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and restarts the machine.
Command-Option-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and shuts the machine down.

  • I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

    I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

    How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
    Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the  AirPort Forums for instructions. 

  • I can not access the Apple Store

    I can not access the Apple Store. I enter my ID and my password and then I get taken to> EDIT PAYMENT INFORMATION asks where I enter the SECURITY CODE my CREDIT CARD. Digit security code, but I get the information that the code is wrong. I'm sure I'm typing the code correctly. On the last attempt I got the information I got in touch with the support of iTunes to complete the transaction.
    I await your help.

    Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred. If you change your e-mail address, you should do it in
    https://appleid.apple.com
    You can change the e-mail address associated with your Apple ID but not the Apple ID itself. Otherwise, you cannot update those apps, books and music bought using the old Apple ID.

    Well I guess that settles that then!
    We just wanted to make sure that you did realize that you cannot delete the preinstalled apps and you can't download them again either, so if that was the basis on which you believed that you had a demo model, we were just double checking.

  • When my most front window is a safari one and I use the shortcut key "Command N", it opens a new finder window and a new safari window at the same time. Why does it happen?

    Re: Why is my Finder window popping up when I open my Safari window?

    Open the General tab of the Safari preferences and correct the home page; the default page is this one. If it has become set to a folder on an FTP server or a local drive, that request will be sent to the Finder. (28252)

    Click here, then on View in Mac App Store, and try downloading it. If you're told that it's incompatible, no.

  • Does anyone know why I can't access the Apple store on my windows laptop?

    Does any one know how to get around this problem?  I have un-installed and re-installed to no avail.  I have been in touch with Apple support and they suggested I take down my fire wall whilst I re-installed but nothing does any good.  I still can't access the store from my Windows lap top.
    Any ideas?

    Ok..  iTunes...
    Try here > Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Try disabling your anti virus software and turn off the Firewall.
    Disable antivirus software

  • If I buy a new MacBook Air will the Apple Store help me transfer everything from my old MacBook Pro?

    Will Apple help to copy over all the settings, apps, programs, files, etc. from an old MacBook Pro 15" on OS X 10.6.8 to a new MacBook Air 15"?  Will it work easily and painlessly?  Will they help me set it back to factory once everything is copied so that it can be sold or given to someone else?  Will they charge for this?
    I want to get the new MacBook Air 13".

    Thanks.

    You sure about this? https://www.apple.com/why-mac/better-support/
    "Purchase a One to One membership at the same time you get your new Mac from an Apple Retail Store, and you won’t have to spend hours transferring all your stuff. Just bring in your old PC, and we’ll do it for you. A Specialist will move all your files — email, contacts, music, photos, documents, calendar, desktop items — and make sure everything is exactly where it should be. One to One costs just $99, and it includes a year’s worth of one-hour, face-to-face training sessions. It’s like getting a head start before you start."
    This is really disappointing.  Buy a $3,000 computer from them and then buy another one for $1,000+ and all they want to do is screw you over, nickle and dime you and price gouge you on setting it up.

  • Can you install the HP color Laser Jet CP1215 on a Mountain Lion Macbook Pro?

    I can not get the HP Laserjet CP1215 to work with my Macbook Pro running ML. Please help.

    It's hard to answer without know which variant of the iMac you have or what Mac OS version you have. However, when I checked the HP web site, they do not show Mac driver support for this printer model.
    Sounds like they plan no Mac support for this model in the future, per this quote from their support page for that printer:
    We have received inquiries about Macintosh support for the HP LaserJet 1018, LaserJet 1018s, LaserJet 1020, LaserJet 1020 Plus, LaserJet CP1215, and LaserJet CP1217 printers. We are sorry to inform you that there is no Macintosh support available for your HP product.

  • A weird question on opening a new finder window

    this is not a big deal, but it really bugs me. when you have a finder window open and do apple-N to get a new one, it puts the new one right on top of the one already open. this is totally stupid. 99% of the time when i open a new window it's because i want to drag a file from one location to another, in which case i have to first move the new window. is there some way you can have it put new windows someplace else other than right on top of the current one?
    and please, please, please dear apple, give us tabs in finder windows like in safari. i keep expecting it to happen in each new system upgrade, and it keeps never happening.

    ...when you have a finder window open and do apple-N to get a new one, it puts the new one right on top of the one already open... is there some way you can have it put new windows someplace else other than right on top of the current one?
    In addition to the excellent suggestions regarding the Sidebar offered earlier, you might consider creating an AppleScript and adding it to your Finder window's toolbar. Once added to the toolbar, the script would serve as a button, which, when clicked on, would open a fully viewable new Finder window positioned above and slightly to the left of the existing Finder window. The existing Finder window would be repositioned if necessary and set to a size matching the dimensions of the new window.
    The example scripts below were created with the assumption that your Home folder's Finder window opens when you press ⌘N. These scripts can be modified so that another window is opened instead by replacing the word "home" where it appears in the script with "desktop" or "documents" or "applications" etc. To open the "Computer" window use the command *make new Finder window* exclusively. Paths to non system-level folders, or user-created folders, can be specified by using an *open "Macintosh HD:path:to:folder"* command.
    Copy and then paste either block of code below into your AppleScript Script Editor (Applications > AppleScript > Script Editor). From the Script Editor's File menu choose Save As > File Format: application, and leave the Options unchecked.
    To add the button to your Finder window's toolbar, simply open any Finder window and drag the saved AppleScript icon to a convenient location on the toolbar. Let go of your mouse when you see the round green "+" indicator.
    +This script might work best with a monitor set to a minimum 1024 x 768 screen resolution:+
    *tell application "Finder"*
    activate
    *make new Finder window to (path to home folder)*
    *set the bounds of window 1 to {70, 59, 955, 399}*
    *set the bounds of window 2 to {100, 403, 985, 743}*
    *activate window 2*
    *end tell*
    +This version would be more suitable for a monitor set to 800 x 600 screen resolution:+
    *tell application "Finder"*
    activate
    *make new Finder window to (path to home folder)*
    *set the bounds of window 1 to {85, 47, 715, 317}*
    *set the bounds of window 2 to {115, 320, 745, 595}*
    *activate window 2*
    *end tell*
    Good luck.

  • I can't access the iCloud icon in settings on my iPhone 4?

    Both the iCloud icon & FaceTime icon in Settings is a cloudy color and when I click on either of them nothing happens. Also the iTunes app icon is no longer on my home screen. The iTunes section & apps in Settings appear in the same bright colors as they always have but nothing happens when I click on them. Also Facebook is cloudy in settings and it click but nothing happens. My phone is out of storage b/c of photos & doc usage space so I can't download the upgrade. My iPad mini works find & I can access all features on it I'm so frustrated

  • The toolbar with drop-down menus such as, "File" and "History" has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    So I can't access history or anything. Above the tabs, there are the symbols with back and refresh, and the address and the search, but above that its just the blue thing. Please help!

    Hit the '''Alt''' key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />

  • HT1338 My Macbook Pro 13" says that I have no more memory in my startup disk. I've tried clearing files and folders and deleting applications but it still says that I have low memory. How do I fix it?

    My MacBook Pro 13" says that I have no more memory in my startup disk. I have tried deleting applications, files, folders, and it still says I have low memory. What is taking up all that space?

    First -- do the target disk backup.  Somehow get a backup.
    You might try booting to Single user mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1492 and removing the files in the command line.  When you put files in the trash, the space is still used up until the trash is emptied.
    using rm command removes it totally.  Just be very careful because you remove the wrong file, and you have to relad the system
