How can i get my macbook pro to automatically login and open the server

I apologize if this question has been asked before. I am new to MAC and know almost nothing about configuring them.
I have a windows server 2003 that I am networked with. When I boot my Macbook Pro I have to manually connect to the server. How can I make my laptop do this automatically?

Add it in the Users & Groups, Login Items area.

How can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

how can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

If the machine is asleep, lid closed, and you plug in to an external monitor and an external USB keyboard, the machine will wake, anbd reconfigure the screen resolution for the external monitor, Once it has made this configuration change, you can open the lid and it will continue to address only the external monitor. At least that's how my early MacBook Pro unibody 13" works. It seems to run a bit cooler this way. It gets quite toasty with the lid closed while doing anything demanding and you are more likely to hear the fan come on. I have not seen any temps that would cause alarm, but I do get a high speed (6000 rpm), noisy fan sometimes with the lid closed, .
If you operate in the open-lid, external monitor only mode, if you deactivate the monitor for any reason, when it reactivates it will be running both screens, with all the navigation hassles this entails, so I generally set it not to deactivate the screen when in this mode.
Thus I agree with those who say that some of the cooling air is drawn in around the keyboard, the difference in cooling performance is observable. If you activate istat pro, get the computer hot running in clamshell mode, and open the lid, you can watch the CPU temp drop by a few degrees C within a couple minutes. It isn't a huge difference, but enough the lower the fan speeds.

How can i get a macbook pro in the caribbean especially trinidad and tobago

I have been a pc user for years and I am tired of them not living up to standard. I viewed the presentations about macbook pro and I am wondering why I never used it before.
Anyway I am a teacher and loved what I saw the the iwork software was capable of but I have no where of accessing a store to purchase one. Is there any way I could get access to purchasing one?
In Trinidad and Tobago pc's arepopular but I think if teachers got a chance to experience the capabilities of a mac they would switch. Any ideas on how I can get one?

You can look for an actual Apple Authorized Reseller here - http://www.apple.com/lae/buy/
Trinidad & Tobago are listed in the first "find a reseller" list there, so there should be some.
see https://locate.apple.com/tt/en/ - I entered Port of Spain here and it popped up with at least 6 resellers.

How can i get my MacBook Pro to output a 120 hZ signal to my TV?

I have a 2012 MacBook pro and an Insignia 120 Hz television. I would like to watch movies/play games on my TV in 120 hertz. What cables do i need, and what do i have to do to get this to work. It currently shows that the highest refresh rate i can reach in the display settings is 60 Hz. Is this because of the cables i'm using? I currently have the rocketfish minidisplay to hdmi adapter hooked up to a hdmi cable to the tv. I have read other discussions relating to this issue but they got congested with people's personal issues. An approach i saw to getting this to work was by getting the Mini-Display port to Dual-Link DVI adapter. If this is the best means of accomplishing my goals, where do i go from there? And please, no bull****. If you know the answer/could help, help; if you don't know the answer, don't post.
Thanks!

You have to format it first using Disk Utility.

How can I get a Macbook (pro) with numpad other than buying a second handed

Actually,
I am currently using a Macbook (2,1)
and i bought it because i thought i had a low demand of graphics, displays, etc.
And i planned to buy a Macbook Pro in several years.
However,
after MONTHS,
Apple Inc, kills numpad, and i was totally shocked and keep searching for any manufacturer or Apple Inc. itself would allow special hardware request.
By the way.
what is "full sized keyboard" actually means?
does it mean just the qwerty keyboard?
I was really disappointed with the new keyboard design.
I believed some of the mac users did the same.

i really hope someone could and i know you understand numpad is numpad, not just numbers.
i think if the people in the design group or whatever name it is, do use the numpad, or understand how i numpad would actually affect some of the people. apple inc would just keep it.
maybe you'll say.
"oh well, time passes. several years later, numpad will be totally illuminated. we are actually making trend of the computer technology!"
but then so you mean you can actually cut the fn key, change the arrow keys, etc.
its kind of sad.
i knew you understand.
like the new keyboards has those fastforward, play, rewind keys.
but those are actually optional you can still set universal hot keys if they are eluminated, and also our beloved apple remote did the same (i mean the ones we are now having)
however numpad is compulsory functional in some extent, there is no way to access numpad other than using the "Keyboard Viewer".((**slowly clicking**))
and i believed some of the businessman demand them so well.
why people just cant leave windows?
its all about compatibility.
applications are more and more made for mac.
but now we have some awkward jagged decision made here just now.
numpad is kind of the vital function to like at least 10% of the people in the world who use computers.
there is only one reason i can think of if you say so.
maybe that is a strategy to keep Mac computers up high in the sky,
so they, oops, cut users by cutting numpad incidentally.

How can I keep my MacBook Pro from heating up and crashing when I play Sims 3?

I have a MacBook Pro that is only about 9 monthes old. When I play Sims 3 on my computer it heats up very quickly. I can get about an hour of game play before the computer becomes slow and extremely hot. Then cetain parts of the screen turn white untill the whole screen turns white and a message appears saying something about an error happening. I am not sure if it has something to do with the computer heating up or if it's a EA problem. But if anyone has had a similar experience and knows how to fix it, that would be great. Also, any tips on how to keep my computer cool while playing games or watching movies would be great.
Thank you!

Your computer is going to run hot while playing CPU/GPU intensive games - it should heat up and the fans should be noticably loud. As to why it's 'crashing' - can you post a kernel panic log? You may have some third-party kexts that are causing the problems.

Can I get my Macbook Pro just checked out and tuned up at the genius bar?

I'm having a hard time getting my questions answered. Basically I've had my Macbook Pro for four and a half years, but it's still doing mostly fine. It's just showing it's age slightly I think, with more spinning wheels than usual and odd things like the date is usually set to 1999 when I turn the computer on, but it rights itself in a few minutes. Also most the time when I plug it in it says it's not charging and I have to try multiple times. None of this is a huge deal, it's just that I really need the computer to last me preferably at least another year, so I worry about it a bit. I do take good care of it though. I'm about to move out of the country for a year, so I'd like to get it just checked out and perhaps tuned up a bit so that any problems are taken care of and it's in the best shape before I move away. I'd like to make a genius bar appointment, but the closest Apple store is a two hour drive from my home, so I don't want to go into it not having any idea how much it will cost or if they'll even be able to do what I'm hoping in the span of a single workday. I really don't want to have to drive back later to pick it up or have it sent off somewhere to be repaired, although if it does have serious problems I'd be willing to do that. I'd just like to know going in to it what the price range is likely to be like. I don't want to make the drive to the Apple store and have them tell me it's going to be a few hundred dollars just to have my computer looked over. And I don't even know if they offer that service, let alone if they can do it in a single afternoon. I've tried calling the store and conversations with the automated person really are not helpful. He just tells me to go online and make a reservation, and I can't figure out how to get my questions about cost and service answered.
Also, am I being foolish hoping my four and a half year old Macbook will last at least another year or two? I have no idea what the "life expectancy" is for these things. I know nothing really about computers at all, so forgive my ignorance.
Any help and insight is very much appreciated.

The genius bar technicians can check your MBP for possible hardware problems and specific software issues that you may have. The diagnosis will be free. Any extensive repairs will not be free.
If you have minor software problems, you essentially will have to deal with them yourself. Examine these two comprehensive documents for possible problem definition and solutions. If you encounter problems that you are unable to cope with, start a new discussion and there will be persons willing to assist you in solving them.

How do i get my Macbook Pro to communicate/link-up with the Apple TV when it's on ?

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a Macbook pro and Apple TV. The apple tv works fine from an i-pad, but i am not sure where on a Pro to go to get it to 'read' the apple tv ?
Would be grateful for any help please......

AppleTV works in several ways.
For material purchased in iTunes you can play it from the internet if your connection is good enough under Movie/TV Show Purchased sections on the unit itself without a computer on.
For material downloaded or added to iTunes library, the best way to play is to Home Share and for apple TV to pull the compatible stream across to play using iTunes as a helper app.
Apple TV cannot play media that is not part of an itunes library (though the media for the itunes library can be stored in several locations) directly, nor can it access network storage to do so.
If you are playing media files which are not part of an iTunes library on a MacBook Pro and want to mirror the screen to the TV you need to use Airplay mirroring on the Mac (if it's new it should be capable, older ones aren't). Some applications will be prevented from mirroring presumably for copyright reasons (eg DVD player app), but VLC may work. You have probably used Airplay or `Airplay mirroring from iPad - I'm not keen on Airplay personally, but I've had AppleTVs since the days when this was never an option and it could only stream or sync from itunes (syncing no longer possible in newer units).

How do I get my Macbook Pro to automatically select the location when connecting to the wireless network?

Each time when I want to connect to a different network I have to manually select the location and it's becoming very annoying. How do I get it to automatically select the location?

Check the following settings on your MacBook
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on AirPort on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
If you have a "favorite" network, make sure it is first in the connection list. If it's not, drag it there
Make sure that there is a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined"
No other boxes should be checked
Click OK, then click Apply

Trying to organise video clips but can not find them in iphoto under Movies but do appear idvd under movies.How can I get into iphoto movies section to edit and organise the video clips

In iphoto '08 in my Library section "Movies" doesn't show as a seperate folder so to find my video c;ips I have to go through 13,000 photos and yet in iDVD they do show up in the media area. How can I edit them and put them into specific files?

Tell me if a video has been recorded on its side! or even upside down, can you turn it round the proper way?
If you have Quicktime Pro you can rotate the video. There's a plugin for iMoive that can rotate clips. Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "rotate video" and you'll find several apps that can do the job and the plugin: MacUpdate: Search for '+rotate +video'

I am trying to format a new external hard drive. It is attached via a USB 2.0 docking station. It does not show up in Disk Utility or Terminal, but does show up in System Profiler. How can I get my MacBook Pro to recognise it?

I need help trying to format an external hard drive. My Mac won't recognise it anywhere other than System Profiler.

The problem is that it is a Western Digital 3.5 inch internal hard drive housed inside a hard drive caddy. So the only way to connect it to my computer is through a dock.

How can i get a macbook with the configration i want from apple retail store so that i can benefit from tax free service at the airport ?

hi all, i just want to know how can i get a MacBook pro with the configuration i want from apple retail store (in Munich) and not by order it online because in this case i will not be able to benefit from Global blue service for tax free from the airport when i leave Germany.
thanks in advance.

You should have probably found out more specifically from the Apple Store just how you could do it online. The obvious solution is to order it from the Apple Danish website store, but I don't know if they ship internationally.
