Does my Macbook have "Shake to Shuffle" on?!

Hello Mac fam! So I've noticed something weird, every time I'm listening to a song or watching a video and I lift up my macbook and move it, It either changes songs or pauses the video I'm watching.
I know on my iPhone and iPod theres a setting for " Shake to Shuffle" where it changes the song by simply shaking the phone. I was wondering if my Macbook Pro 15 Retina 2014 has this feature turned on somehow. How do I turn it off?

As there is no longer a need to have a Mac/PC to use a ios device I dont believe there is a requirement for your MacBook to be powered on if you are backing up your iphone/ipad to iCloud.

Hello 23435,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPhone was knocked out of your hand and now it displays blue and black colors on the display. It does sound like this iPhone may need to be evaluated for service. If you would like more information about this process, please refer to the attached web link below.

How much ATI does a macbook have?

My child wants to get Team Fortress 2 but i heard it didn't work on his friends computer. How much ATI does a macbook have?

Acually I'm sort of right since AMD dropped the ATI name in Aug. 2010. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon And Apple didn't use them in MacBook Pros until 2011 http://support.apple.com/specs/#macbookpro
Current MacBooks use the NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory. They've used the Nvida since early 2009 http://support.apple.com/specs/#macbook

Does my Macbook have Keylights like the Macbook Pro does?

I was watching the Macbook Air guided tour, just to see if buying my Macbook was a waste of money if Apple released a better Macbook, but i still don't understand which is better (processing wise) because there is no really websites on it at the moment.
Any way if you can answer that then go ahead, but back on topic. I was watching the guided tour and i noticed the Apple guy (sorry, i forget his name) explained that just like the Macbook (I don't know if he said "Pro" or just a Macbook in general) the Air has a light sensor in it that can detect decreases in light (or increases in darkness, whichever works for you) and respond accordingly by turning on lights under the keys so that you can see them in a dark enviroment.
So i quickly shut off the lights too see if my Macbook did what the Macbook Air and Pro do, but nothing happened. So i fiddled around in keyboard and mouse settings and i couldn't find anything remotely close to lighting on my keyboard. So i started looking at the keys, and they appear to be grey letters, but maybe its just me because isn't there a possibility that they are clear and i am only seeing the darkness thats underneath them. So instead of getting all bent (because staring at a key for a couple minutes is really frustrating) i decided to come here and ask does my Macbook have keyboard lights that eluminate keys?

Thanks for the star. Still - it's a fairly minor thing. There needs to be some justification for the additional price of a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.
Illuminated USB keyboards seem to be relatively inexpensive if you must have that feature.

Does my MacBook have an HTML editor built in?

Why does my macbook have the gray screen when it starts up?

my macbook pro has just started doing this - i keep it plugged in most of the time, and this has never been a problem for my previous macbook or before with this macbook until recently. every time i shut my laptop, and then open it later, it brings me to the gray screen with a white bar that loads pretty quickly, and then it brings me to my password login page. however, it takes a little longer for my mouse/cursor to be functional at this screen. any idea why this is happening? i have never had it do this before so i am not sure what is going on because i haven't been doing anything differently.

Does the macbook have a cd drive?

I wanted to load some software on my daughter's new macbook while she is away and can't find a cd drive. i don't have it with me right now so don't know the model number or operating system, but do know that it cost $999 a few months ago. Thx.

MacBooks have media drives, yes. (MacBook Airs are the only models that don't.) It is located on the right side (facing the display). It's just a slot.

Why does my MacBook have so little free space?

Received my MacBook yesterday, and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light as to why there is so much room already taken up on the hard drive. I'm new to Macs, so does the OS and all take up that much space? When I booted it up it had about 73 GB available (I have the 80 GB model), and about 15-20 GB was already taken up. Even after erasing all of the trial version software it comes with, I still have a lot less free space than I would like. Any insights would be much appreciated.

A full install of OS X will require about 6 GBs of space. In addition to that you have the iLife apps installed. If you also ordered iWork, then that's installed as well. On an 80 GB hard drive you will have about 73 GBs of actual total usable space. At least another 7-8 GBs will account for OS X and iLife apps leaving about 65 GBs free. Deduct about 1 GB for trial software and you're down to around 63-64 GBs. If you select the Macintosh HD icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window you should see displayed the amount of free space currently available.

Does my MacBook have some sort of graphics lag?

Hey guys.
I've had my MacBook for two weeks now, and it’s been an "okay" experience. I detest the high-pitched sound it makes; it’s driving my crazy when I'm working on essays late at night. But alas, it’s not my primary annoyance.
Recently I've noticed horizontal lines running up the screen when the Flurry screen saver is running (Screen grab: http://img113.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture4jc0.png). This line runs up the screen every few seconds, and its really irritating. Presumably this is something to do with the MacBook graphics chip? I would really like to know if this problem occurs in other MacBooks or if I have some sort of defect in mine.
It also does the above when viewing iTunes visualisations in full screen.
Any thoughts/comments would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Chris.

Devin,
Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.
I did the test and got a score of 84 which seems to be pretty average for a MacBook, compared it to a few and the memory seemed to compare well to most MacBooks (Link: http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc1=188535&doc2=1)
Not really sure then - If your MacBook, and presumable others, struggle on it, then maybe it is just literally the chip working as hard as it can. I'm just trying to reassure my self that I don’t have a faulty unit.
On a side note, the high pitched sound on mine comes from the top left of the machine near power adapter connection - It exerts the high pitched noise whether or not it is plugged into the AC power. It's not so bad in the day, as I don't really hear it in louder surroundings, but at night it’s absolutely infuriating - I just run a few programs in the background and it fortunately stops. Certainly not ideal, I'll probably end up phoning Apple Care about it, as I'm sure it’s not an intended sound.

Does the MacBook have the thermal paste "problem"?

I'm really thinking about saving up my money to get a MacBook, but with all of the thermal paste "problems" with the MacBook Pro, I'm not sure if the MacBook has the same problems. Has anyone with a MacBook taken it apart and examined the thermal paste? I'm hoping that Apple has chnaged their instructions on how much thermal paste to apply in the MacBooks and MacBook Pros. If anyone has done this, or knows of any place on the web with pics of the MacBook taken apart, I would love to hear about it. Thanks in advance!

Some people have encountered very excessive amounts of paste on the MacBook as well, and one person out of curiosity went into his 12 inch Powerbook and found it glopped on there too -- and of course a healthy improvement in the thermal performance of the computer once it was done properly. Seems to be an ongoing Apple problem -- but not necessarily a problem in every machine, as some people have found much less excessive paste application and only a minimal improvement in thermal performnce after reapplying.
The MacBook is very much easier to disassemble than the other machines in part because the logic board and heat sink faces up and therefore you do not need to remove the logic board, but do please note that if you do take it apart, any damage that is deemed to have resulted from your repair will not be covered.

Why does my MacBook have vertical lines?

My MacBook has a white screen and rain ow vertical lines. I have never dropped it. It has done this before and the disappeared after awhile. How do I fix this?

Hey Kaylaree1994!
To me it would sound like you have a failing display. There are a lot of funny things monitors/screens/displays can do when they deteriorate and/or eventually start to fail. The lines on your screen could be a result of broken pixels. Normally there isn't much of a promising solution to this sort of situation. If you still have your warranty in place then you have nothing to worry about! Take it into an Apple store to visit the Genius team. They might be able to help you, and worse case scenario, replace your screen or the entire Macbook depending on their decision.
Not exactly positive news but I hope this helps!

Does the Macbook have a Wireless G or wireless N

i just bought a new N router,but i dont know where to look to find out which adapter i have
if its G then i gotta go to the genius bar to have an N put in
if its N then im good

Replies to you reply
Before you buy anything I want you to go to About This Mac from the Apple Menu and make sure that it says Intel Core 2 Duo and not Intel Core Duo
it says Intel Core Duo
Second, if you are connected through ethernet and not wireless why are you bothering to upgrade to N? If you aren't using the wireless then this won't make a difference.
i use Both,the Macbook is connected to Ethernet so His Powerful windows Pc doesnt knock me off the internet, when his girlfriend comes over she brings a powerful windows laptop and the do some intensive gaming
In fact, because your son's computer uses wireless G the whole network becomes a G network rather than an N network.
He may upgrade to N soon, Our objective is so neither of us get knocked off
There is nothing to ship. Apple will just email you a link to the download. You just need to install that. Do you have two of the same Macbooks?
that was the nature of my question And One is a Macbook the other is a Mac Mini
Then I'd assume you can just open the same link on your other computer and install it there. You can legally transfer it between computers as part of the license.
Ok that was a question i had....thanks
Last thing you should do is make sure the router is properly set up and not conflicting with other wireless routers in the area or with other 2.4GHz cordless phones as those will cause interference. If you install Airport Radar it will help you avoid wireless channels that are already in use so there is less interference
The router is set up correctly , we are dirrectly above our apartments Office, there IS a 2.4Gb cordless phone there........it knocks off My sons wireless and occasionally my wireless but not my ethernet, we cant do anything about that, the apartment office is who we pay rent to.
please tell me more about apple radar...thanks in advance

Why does my macbook have battery problems?

I read that my macbook air is supposed to have 12 hours of battery but after about 2-3 hours I need to re-charge it. When I charge my macbook the charger heats up, I have both problems with all my apple devices and they are brand new (ipad, mac and ipod). Why do I have these problems?
thanks for the answers

Do you have the newest Mac Air notebook, the Mid 2013 model? Only those have a Rated, Guestimate, battery run time of 12 to 13 hours. Older Air models do not.
