Where to short a 13" Macbook Pro and how?

My power button is broken and i dont really want to replace it again because its expensive and only the power button is broken.

The power button and keyboard are 2 separate things. I suspect that your Mac has water damage and that is why the power button has now failed.
You could take it apart and find the connections to the power button and RIG up another Momentary Contact switch to activate it.
Or you could just take it in to be fixed and then be more carefull with it.

What can I delete on my Macbook pro and how?

what prorams can I delete on my macbook pro and how? I heard could delete some preloaded programs on my macbook pro and I would like to know how? I know that I can move app from to the trash to uninstall them but what all preloaded apps can I delete. I tried to delete photo booth, sticky notes, address book and could not so what can I delete and how?

I wasn't aware that you couldn't delete those programs, what happens when you try? Is there some reason that you want to delete them? They don't take up hardly any hard drive space or RAM to use them and they are useful programs, I think. If you're trying to gain more hard drive space, that's not going to do it. If you don't want them in your dock, just drag them out to the desktop and they poof away.

New user. Need to know where my email contacts are on my macbook pro and how I can make a group email address

New user. Email contacts imported to MacBook pro from PC - but I'm unable to call up entire contact list or to make a group emailing contact.

Assuming you are using Apple's Mail application, contacts are managed via the Contacts application, in your application folder. As for various addressing methods, including groups, maybe this:
Mail (Mountain Lion): Address messages - Support - Apple

I don't use Office myself so can't really offer advice. I don't recall seeing your issue before. Maybe someone who uses Office will be able to help.
As this thread is marked as solved it won't get the attention your query warrants. It would be a good idea to start your own thread discussing the problem - I'm sure someone here will offer the right advice/help.
Make sure you note what Mac your have and what version of OS X you are running.

I have new macbook pro and how long do i need to charge 1 time?

can you help me please?

The MagSafe connector that plugs into the Mac has a pilot light that tells you what the charger is up to. If it glows yellow, batteries are a'charging. If green, batteries are charged and it is on standby mode.

I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
Thank you

Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product. You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro, and I get to the point where it tells me to view my email for further instructions to verify acct, but I have no email in my inbox, even after resending multiple times.

Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro, and I get to the point where it tells me to view my email for further instructions on verification of my account, but there is no such email in my inbox, even after submitting multiple requests to resend the email. Any idea what I can do? Mark

Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point.

Where do I continue; I have a '07 Macbook Pro, and would truly appreciate your help as I freshly install my osx beginning with my original 10.4

Please...

Thank you
PS
I should mention; for reasons unknown to me, I no longer have use of my disk drive since reinstalling 10.4.

You can use software update to install the latest version of Tiger. If you connect an external DVD drive you can install an upgrade to Snow Leopard. The disk is available at the Apple online store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Further upgrades are dependent upon the EXACT model of your MBP.
Ciao.

Unfortunately, that's not it either. On the bottom of my MBP from Mid 2010 it says "A1286". That's great, but that's not the unique model number. For instance, looking for a keyboard for it I found one that is compatible with:
(MC371LL/A, A1286, MacBookPro6,2) - Mid 2010
(MC372LL/A, A1286, MacBookPro6,2) - Mid 2010
(MC373LL/A, A1286, MacBookPro6,2) - Mid 2010
Each one of those is MBP6,2 from Mid 2010, model A1286, but what about those first sets of numbers? Is mine one of those three? Or did they make more than just those three and mine may be one of the ones not listed?
I can't seem to find any way to know for sure, short of ordering the thing and hoping that it fits. :-/
Those are "order numbers", in this case:
MC371LL/A = 2.4 GHz CPU
MC372LL/A = 2.53 GHz CPU
MC373LL/A = 2.66 GHz CPU
These are all the flavors there exists for a model A1286 with identifier "MacBookPro6,2".
Going back to the excellent earlier post of babowa I believe it works as follows:
The model number (A1286) which you can find on the bottom of your MBP doesn't say too much: it's used from late 2008 to mid 2012 MBP 15" models.
In addition you have model identifiers (MacBookPro6,2), which in your case nears it down to a mid-2010 model.
But you can also have different model numbers for a single model identifier and there comes in the EMC number Balboa mentions. I believe it's a unique comination between a model number and a model identifier. For example, the MacBookPro3,1 can be a 15" or a 17", which each a different model number (A1226 and A1229) so they each have a unique EMC number. I wouldn't know where to find the EMC number on a MBP, by the way.
One step down: within each model identifier you have several order numbers, the three you have listed above. Generally they distinguish different CPUs in standard configurations. However, if there is CTO/BTO option to upgrade a CPU it would not have its own order number. My BTO MBP 17" mid-2010 has an i7 2.66 GHz CPU but the order number is equal to the standard i5 2.53 GHz CPU.
Apart the very good website babowa provided a link to, you can download the free (donationware) application Mactracker from the App Store, which is a well maintained database of about every piece of hardware and every OS Apple ever released with a very friendly user interface. Click on "This Mac" and you got all the info I described above.

I have a MacBook Pro. How do I capture a still picture from a video in iMovie and print the still picture?

I have a MacBook Pro. How do I capture a still picture from a video in iMovie and print the still picture?

Click iMovie/About. If you have version 9.0.4 (iMovie 11) this will work. If you have an earlier version, this will also work, but there are also other ways.
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.
