How can we shut off messaging on the Mac book pro?

I have just purchased a Mac Book Pro for one of my kids. We have iPads and iPhones etc in the household. With his new laptop the messaging feature means that whenever anyone face times or messages a different family member, he also gets that on his laptop. How can we prevent this?

Messages > Preferences > Accounts. Remove the Apple ID that he shares with your family.

Feeling electric shock while charging Mac book Pro

Hai everyone!
i just bought a Mac bookPro 15 inch 2.53 Ghz.
i am feeling a mild tingling/ vibrating shock while charging my mac book pro. i can feel the sensation all over the aluminium unibody part- especially while using the Mac book as well as charging it at the same time. is it Earthing/ grounding problem? or is it any voltage problem? or is it any problem with my Mac Book Pro?
Thanks and Regards

"I bought my laptop from the US, but i am using it in Spain , with the aid of a plug converter (3 pong to 2 European one)...
"1) is this problem i am experiencing due to the plug converter?"
Yes and no. Outside of the US, the AC line voltage is twice as high, and that's why people outside of the US generally experience the "shock". If you use a 3-prong plug adapter inserted in a properly-grounded AC outlet, the problem will be resolved.
"2) I am staying in student resident, and so i doubt that the MBP is not properly grounded.. That would be dangerous, no??"
If you are using a 2-prong prong adapter, your unit is not properly grounded. Using an improperly grounded computer is not dangerous.
"3) Aside from being extremely annoying sensation, is it bad for the laptop??"
No.
"Because if not, i can always use another keyboard.."
You mean, "if it IS" a problem , you can use another keyboard. Using another keyboard is does not change the grouping scheme of the computer.
"I am not saying whose fault this is, but i only felt this shock with the mac book pro (15 inch).. i owned a power book and a 13 in mac book, and never felt a shock like this before... Could it be because of the placement of the battery on the laptop?"
No, it's because you're using a metal-cased computer, at a high AC input voltage.

What is the normal shut down time for the mac book pro retina display (late 2013). Mine takes around 20 secs.Is this normal or should i be worried ?

Hi I got a new mac book pro retina display of 8G ram and 256GB ssd (late 2013 model). I was trying to shut down.It was taking around 20-30 secs.Is this normal? When i say shutdown i mean , i just login and shutdown.Do nothing else. I repeated the same process for 4 or 5 times. The numbers are the same.
The boot up takes around 15 secs. Are the numbers crazy or normal.
Any reply would be helpful.Thanks.

Cannot turn off streaming radio on mac book pro

cannot turn off streaming radio on mac book pro

You've got it open with some application, either iTunes or in a browser window. Exit out of that application.

Me and my wife have one apple Id. I want to start my own. How do i delete it off my ipod and mac book pro..and then start a new one

I share the same apple Id with my wife. How do I delete our current one from my mac book pro and start a new one. thanks

There are many ways one can go about this; do you want to manage multiple ID's with one computer? Do you want to retain all content purchased with the other ID?

When plugged up to charge, Mac book pro shut down and will not boot now

Im using my computer for work...then all of the sudden I get a notification telling me my battery is low so I plug it in. Then a few minutes later, my mac goes black like it had died from a dead battery. I let it charge for a few minutes and come back to turn it back on and I cannot get it to boot. Nearly two hours later, I'm still sitting here. I need some help! Thank you!

Can I teather video off d7000 to my mac book pro ?

i can and teather and see the pictures as i take them but i want a see the picture / video on the screen ?
like a feild monitor ? is this do able or is there a way to do this ?

If I understand your topic correctly, you already know how to tether your camera to make images using Nikon's Camera Control Pro 2 or some other software. You now want to know how to view images you have already recorded.
To view images or video clips you have already saved to your Mac, use iPhoto or iMovie. Alternatively, you can use some other viewing or editing software you have installed on your Mac.
To view images or video clips you have already saved to your camera's memory card, use the “Nikon Transfer 2” function (see page 179 of your camera's user manual) from the Nikon ViewNX 2 CD-ROM that came with your camera to copy your images or clips from the camera to the computer. (Alternatively, you can use some other transfer software you have installed on your Mac.) Then use iPhoto, iMovie, or other software as described in the previous paragraph.

How long should a new battery last when installed for a mac book pro 2009 with only a web browser opened?

I recently went to the apple store in Covent garden and had a battery replaced for my Mac Book Pro 2009 edition.
After fully charging the mac the percentage guage meter displays the battery is losing power fast. 1% increments goes down every 5 minutes even if I have only a browser which is opened and no other running applications.
My recent test after a fully charged mac book pro allowed me a maximum use time is 2 hours!
I have friends and family members who have the same model as me and their mac book when running on battery, shows that the laptop has about 6 hours use. They are able to run multiple applications and use sites such as Youtube and still get a good 4 hours of use.
Anyway, I have booked an appointment with a Mac Genius for tomorrow to look into this issue.
I thought I'd just ask the community to find out if any of you can help.
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you Donald.
You are the second person to tell me this so this is more of a reason for Apple to sort out issue for me.
The team there don't believe there is an issue with the battery.
Thank you once again.

My macbook shut off and wont turn back on. Im pretty sure it is charging. The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed. Im in grad school and have lots saved. Please Help!

ronicr76,
First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
> The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
Once your files are off try an SMC reset:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.
