How do i set up my macbook pro for the software i want to use

how do i customize the building of my mac?  i want to add the software that i want?

Most of the factory software-installation options have been dropped recently. This is probably because almost everything that Apple used to offer to preinstall for you can now be obtained very quickly and easily through the App Store.

  • How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer

    How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer?

    It is rather hard to know how to help you since, among other things, you didn't tell us what printer you own, what you've tried thus far, and what happened when you tried it. Your printer came with documentation and it may have even come with a disk that takes you through the process step by step. My first two suggestions are that you (1) make sure you know the password and SSID of your wireless router. You'll definitely need the password and you might need to know the router's ID name. (2) read and try to follow the instructions that came with your printer. In general, I've found that Canon and HP instructions and setup software are quite good while Brother wireless printers, at least in the past, have been rather flaky to set up (but work fine once that initial headache is dealt with).

  • I got a MacBook Pro for the first time and just install iTunes.... how to I get my purchased songs from my Windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro

    I got a MacBook Pro for the first time and just install iTunes.... how to I get my purchased songs from my Windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro..... please try to make it easier for me since im new to the Mac OS

    1) Copy all music files to a thumb drive / external hard drive.
    2) Open iTunes on your MacBook Pro (congrats!)
    3) Under the File Menu, select "Add to Library."  Navigate to the folder with your music in it and click "Open."  Bam!  Music.

  • Do I need to pay for 100dollars for A short time training and help me set up my MacBook pro at the first time

    Do I need to pay for 100dollars for A short time training and help me set up my MacBook pro at the first time

    No.  Go to an Apple store, and it will have a schedule of training seminars.  If you have a quick question, you can make an appointment with a Genius.  Finally, actually the first thing you should have done, you should familiarize yourself with the online documentation and videos.

  • How can I keep synchronized my macbook pro at the office and a traveling macbook air?

    How can I keep synchronized my macbook pro at the office and a traveling macbook air?

    Have you tried doing the sync via Time Machine?
    I thought it would be possible to backup the travelling machine and restore the machine at the office from the new backup.
    I read a warning from Apple that it is not advisable.
    I would be very interested in your opinion.

  • When I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass.  What can I do to prevent the condensation?

    When I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass.  What can I do to prevent the condensation?

    This thread and all the followups are hilarious, if it weren't such a serious problem. OP, you may want to add a bit more information on how this drippy screen problem occurs: where do you live, what are the weather conditions, what are you doing with the Mac when it occurs, etc.
    Yes, extreme moisture, to the extent of causing visible condensation, is Very Bad News for any electronic device, and more so with one that isn't tropicalized like the Mac. Besides trying to avoid subjecting it to such extreme temperature changes, using some kind of desiccant to absorb close range moisture and avoidint its use until it dried out, I can suggest placing some kind of absorbent material between the display and the keyboard to prevent the moisture on the glass from finding its way into the computer. Like the protective poliethylene foam protector that came with the Mac when new. Or something like RadTech's ScreenSavrz: http://www.radtech.us/Products/NotebookScreenSavrz.aspx

    I have already bought a macbook pro in USA and I want to use it in Europe. What adapter I need for my Airport Extreme?

    No power adaptor is needed as the power units are auto-switching. But you will need wall outlet adaptors such as you will find in Apple's World Travel Kit, at AAA stores, and other vendors.

  • HT4667 why can't i get the download to install on my macbook pro for the air port express

    If you are running OS X 10.7.2 then you will be able to use AirPort Utility 5.6.

  • I have a macbook pro and the software with snow leopard only has upgraded to 10.5.8, do I need to purchase mountain lion to upgrade to 10.6.8?

    I have a macbook pro and the software with snow leopard only has upgraded to 10.5.8, do I need to purchase mountain lion to upgrade to 10.6.8?

    Your machine likely can't handle Mountain Lion 10.8 nor 10.7, if it does it will run slow and very higly likely a lot of your third party software and drivers for printers and scanners won't function anymore.
    It's because your 10.5 era (or earlier) machine is rather dated, hardware has advanced and is faster, the newer OS X versions have gotten bloated.
    I do recommend you call Apple via phone and order the 10.6.3 white retail disks, backup your personal data off the 10.5.8 Mac to a external storage drive and when the disk arrives, stick it in and run the upgrade installer.
    Once that's finished, reboot and use Software Update to get to 10.6.8 and stay there. You can buy stuff from AppStore, just don't upgrade to 10.8 (or 10.7) as thats when you'll have issues.
    10.6 should run your currrently installed PPC software and hardware drivers. But 10.7/10.8 will not.
    10.6 is receiving security and other updates from Apple as more than 50% of OSX users are still on it.

    1) Macbook Pro with Retina (13")

    is user upgradable. The Retina is not. 
    No matter what for your needs I would max out the 16GB of RAM

  • I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen

    I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen since the first screen. I did the start up, but using the comands on the keyboard. I think the laptop is configured to blind people. I just got at the desktop, but the mouse is frozen.

    If this is a new machine, you have 14 days to return the machine for an exchange or a full refund. Your trackpad should work out of the box and what you're seeing onscreen may very well be settings for the partially sighted.

  • How do I set up my MacBook Pro to view on my HDTV?

    I connected my TV to my MacBook Pro with the hdmi cable and changed the display to mirror and changed the source on my TV to PC. What am I missing?
    Thanks!

    Check System Preferences > Sound > Output to see if you have a line for the TV (could be labelled with the brand of the TV or some string with "HDMI" in it). If you have one and it's not selected, select it.
    If you don't have one, the port you are using on your MBP may not support sound output. In that case, you might have to attach a separate audio cable.
    I'm not familiar enough with the model MBP you are using to say which situation is likely to apply to you.
