How can I change the preferred WiFi network in my MacBook Pro

How can I change the preferred order of networks on my MacBook Pro? There used to be one network at my office. Now there is a second higher speed wifi network also present which I would prefer to connect to, but the Macbook connects to the older one unless manually changed.

Apple menu > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Wi-Fi > Drag networks into the order you prefer.

  • How can I change the BlackBerry Link Network Drive mapping from Z: to something else?

    Hello,
    I generally have a mapping to my NFS server on Z:, and my iTunes library has a relative path to Z: for all of my music - the fact that Link is automatically picking Z: as my network sync target for my device does not work for me to sync music, or anything really. I can't figure out how to change this value to something else.
    I found the registry key: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Research In Motion\Device Manager\Device Settings\<DEVICENAME>\VolumeMapping with a default blank REG_SZ - can I use this key at all to manually change drive mappings for my device? If so, what is the key/value pair I need and will this mess up any assumptions taken inside the Link software for synching?
    ... Also, I have a Feature Enhancement Request to go along with this issue: Add a "Change drive map letter" button beside the "Turn on wireless connections to my computer" button in Link, and add the same option in the context menu to the 'Device Manager' for the mapping (which currently just says 'Explore').
    Thanks for the help,
     - Jeff

    I do not know a lot about this subject but since Device Manager is not a Device and the BlackBerry Phone is not recognized as a Device in Disk management unless Mass Storage is turned ON it looks as if by design you cannot change the Drive Letter.
    Also if Mass Storage is turned On in the Phone Settings File Manager and BB link will not work but the BB Phone will then be recognized as a Device in Disk Management and the Drive Letter can be changed, this has no effect on the Drive Letters for Device Manager.
    Normally to change the Drive Letter and Paths of a Device once the Device is plugged you would go to Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management, right click the Device and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
    Changing the Registry or Uninstalling Device Manager but keeping BB Link or looking for a Utility that can change the Drive Letter such as the one that many XP users had called TweakUI (only worked in XP) or changing the Drive Letter for your Network may be the only way.

  • How can I change the AppleID in iMessage on my MacBook?

    I just downloaded the iMessage app for my MacBook and it seems to work great. Only issue is: I have 2 Apple IDs and, of course, the wrong one is now logged in. I would like to know if there is a way to change the Apple ID associated with my iMessage account on my Mac. So, basically sign out with one and sign back in with the other.
    The - sign at the bottom to delete the account is greyed out and when I go to add a new account, iMessage is not an option. When I go to add a new email address where it says "You can be reached for messages at:" and type my other Apple ID, it says that it's in use as an Apple ID for another account.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Actually, I figured it out, nevermind.

    HI,
    As far as I can tell you cannot delete the ID when Only one is listed.
    This would suggest that you have to add the second (Correct) one and then delete the first (wrong) one.
    I can't say I have tried this yet.

  • How can I change the duration of stills on Final Cut Pro X?

    Hello everyone.
    I need to change the duration of stills and I'm having a hard time doing that. I'm not interested in changing the default setting. The stills need different times, so I need to be able to manually alter the duration of each clip. Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thank you!

  • How do I change the phone number associated with my macbook pro

    I have a new macbook pro and it somehow is associated with my husbands phone number and not mine.  So when I text it comes from his phone and all contacts associated with his phone.  How do I switch it to be my iphone?

    Hello RoandCo,
    It sounds like Messages on your MacBook Pro is associated with your husbands Apple ID phone number and not yours. On the computer check the Messages Preferences to see which Apple ID is setup with this article:
    Messages (Mavericks): Set up your accounts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15055
    Open Messages on your computer and then:
    Choose Messages > Preferences, click Accounts, then select iMessage in the Accounts list.
    If the Apple ID is not yours and has the wrong phone number in it, you can sign out of the account and setup your Apple ID instead with the sign out button.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • How can I sync the contacts from outlook on my macbook pro with my iPhone

    My iPhone 5 is backing up on iCloud and my music, etc is syncing through iTunes (11.4) on my MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3 but my calendar and contacts from Outlook 2011 are not syncing.  Does anyone know which settings I may need to change?  I have updated my operating system to OS X 10.9.4 and iTunes.

    You'll need to find a way to export your Outlook contacts and calendar to Apple's Contacts and Calendar applications. There are some paid software apps that can do this but I don't know of any free way other than exporting each event/contact individually. Outlook 2011, when it first came out, synced well with iCal and Address Book (or whatever it was called) but that's no longer the case... maybe when Office for Mac 2014 comes out?
    Sorry that I don't have an answer to what seems to be a common problem.

  • How do i change the safari settings on my new macbook pro to run in the 32 bit mode?

    how do i change my safari settings on my new mac book pro to run in 32 bit mode please?

    I am running Leopard OS in 64 bit mode. Everytime I want to run my Cisco VPN client I reboot it in 32 bit mode by holding the two keys (don't remember what two keys at the moment).  I am looking for another way to run my Cisco VPN.  I don't see the check box labeled "Open in 32-bit mode" .  The only thing I see is "Open in Rosetta" or something like that.  Is the check box "Open in 32-bit mode" only show in Lion X OS?

  • How can I adjust the contrast of video on my MacBook Pro Retina so they don't look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens?

    I'd like to watch movies and TV shows, downloaded from iTunes or Amazon, on my MacBook Pro Retina, but they all look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens. Daytime sequences look muddy, and night time sequences are incomprehensible with anything but the brightest objects rendered as black. I can watch the same files on my old MacBook Air and everything looks right, but no manner of tweaking seems to let me watch movies on my new machine.
    I've tried adjusting the gamma. It's a bit better when gammas is set to 1.0, but I can't seem to set a gamma less than one. I tried using the Accessibility Contrast control, but it just lowers the contrast, swallowing my desktop into the dark abyss. I tried Applecare, but they don't have a clue. I tried the Apple Store. The "genius" confirmed that it is indeed impossible to watch movies shot anywhere but in the brightest sunlight on a MacBook Pro Retina, and it isn't just my machine, but every similar model in the store. He arranged for someone who really understands color profiles to give me a call, but Apple seems to have dropped the ball on this.
    Is there some tool for stretching out the darker grays in Apple video? I don't want calibration. My impression is that my display, like the dozens I checked at the Apple Store are calibrated to make all dimmer grays appear completely black. I want uncalibration so I can actually see what is going on in the movies even if something is in a light shadow or shot at night. Hollywood has lots of trained technicians who can light and shoot night scenes that are quite comprehensible. I've watched a number of such scenes on my old MacBook Air. Now, I'd like to enjoy their artistry on my MacBook Pro Retina.

    http://www.ifixit.com/ has directions for do it yourself.  Also look at PRAM battery instructions, as sometimes this can fix optical drive issues.
    You can get external or internal drives from http://www.macsales.com/
    I also suggest in the future, take care of this problem while it is still under warranty. It may have cost you nothing.

  • How can I find the serial number of my stolen MacBook Pro?

    Hi,
    I had my 2009 Macbook Pro stolen about 10 months ago. I didn't think I'd see it again until last last it showed up on my "Find My Phone" App, in Vietnam.
    I locked it straight away and sent a message to the screen with my email address.
    The person who had it worked at a computer shop and contacted me straight away.
    He understands its stolen and wants to help but he will only give it to the police. And the Vietnamese police want my serial number to proove its mine before they will send it back to me.
    I don't have a copy of the recpiet or serial number. I've been to the iStudio where I bought it and thier records start 1 month after I purcahsed it.
    I've tried the https://supportprofile.apple.com page and for some reason my macbooks are not registered on there. All my other apple products are.
    Is there any other way I can retrieve my serial number?
    It's conected to the icloud and the app and I've made puchases on iTunes from it.
    Any help would be very much appreciated
    Many Thanks

    No.

  • How do I change the registration name on a new Macbook Pro?

    My daughter just got a Macbook Pro and had filled in the registration info with her name and address but my other daughter told her it had to me my name and changed it all and registered it under my name.  My daughter, of course, wants it under her name.  It said it couldn't be changed, but there is usually a way.

    Some similar situations with solutions. I hope this helps and Happy Holiday.

  • How do I change the audio output settings on my MacBook Pro?

    I have connected an HDMI cable from my laptop to my HDTV and I can't get the audio to come out of my TV speakers.  Do I need a special cable for this or is there a way in settings to get my laptop/TV to choose which speakers to play out of?

    Check the model of your MacBook Pro against the list in this Apple tech note. If yours is new enough, you just need an HDMI cable that supports video and audio. If yours is too old, you'll need to run a separate audio cable to your TV.

  • How can I check the date of purchase for my MacBook Pro?

    I need to fill out a claim in order to get OS X Mountain Lion and I need the date of purchase. I have tried putting in the serial code under check your service and support coverage but it just gave me a vague statement thatit was purchased mid 2012. Could someone please tell me how I can check the date of purchase?

    Well, correction, just checked mine...
    Tells you exipry date of warranty, simply take 1 year off of this or 3 if you have AppleCare.
    There is your purchase date.

  • How can I optimize the performance of my late 2008 macbook pro

    I recenly moved out in the sticks and the best I can do for I.P. is satelite 10 mpbs and it seems so slow.

    Pasting into a blank project is not a nice option because it requires reconfiguring all of the buttons.They all reset to "Continue" when I do that. I would probably need to re-enter the Advanced Actions as well. There's no reason to think that would speed up the application.
