How can I optimize the performance of my late 2008 macbook pro

I recenly moved out in the sticks and the best I can do for I.P. is satelite 10 mpbs and it seems so slow.

Pasting into a blank project is not a nice option because it requires reconfiguring all of the buttons.They all reset to "Continue" when I do that. I would probably need to re-enter the Advanced Actions as well. There's no reason to think that would speed up the application.
You can see the content in the link up top: http://www.anacore.com/MediaStationSalesTool/. There are mostly slides with video and slides with 1280x720 images. Click the grey buttons to navigate and use the bottom right buttons to return home. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,

How can I optimize the performance of my HTML5 project?

The link to my project is below. It is very slow to load most slides until they are cached in the browser. It appears that it is waiting until I advance to the slide in order to download the content. It takes up to 5 seconds to display the content of a slide, and often times it shows the spinning loading icon. With HTML5 output, it automatically converts my 1280x720 images to PNG files which does not help. How can I optimize this project to make everything load faster? Is there a way for Captivate to constantly download slides before you view them? Please let me know if you have suggestions.

How can I change the preferred WiFi network in my MacBook Pro

How can I change the preferred order of networks on my MacBook Pro? There used to be one network at my office. Now there is a second higher speed wifi network also present which I would prefer to connect to, but the Macbook connects to the older one unless manually changed.

Apple menu > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Wi-Fi > Drag networks into the order you prefer.

How can I adjust the contrast of video on my MacBook Pro Retina so they don't look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens?

I'd like to watch movies and TV shows, downloaded from iTunes or Amazon, on my MacBook Pro Retina, but they all look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens. Daytime sequences look muddy, and night time sequences are incomprehensible with anything but the brightest objects rendered as black. I can watch the same files on my old MacBook Air and everything looks right, but no manner of tweaking seems to let me watch movies on my new machine.
I've tried adjusting the gamma. It's a bit better when gammas is set to 1.0, but I can't seem to set a gamma less than one. I tried using the Accessibility Contrast control, but it just lowers the contrast, swallowing my desktop into the dark abyss. I tried Applecare, but they don't have a clue. I tried the Apple Store. The "genius" confirmed that it is indeed impossible to watch movies shot anywhere but in the brightest sunlight on a MacBook Pro Retina, and it isn't just my machine, but every similar model in the store. He arranged for someone who really understands color profiles to give me a call, but Apple seems to have dropped the ball on this.
Is there some tool for stretching out the darker grays in Apple video? I don't want calibration. My impression is that my display, like the dozens I checked at the Apple Store are calibrated to make all dimmer grays appear completely black. I want uncalibration so I can actually see what is going on in the movies even if something is in a light shadow or shot at night. Hollywood has lots of trained technicians who can light and shoot night scenes that are quite comprehensible. I've watched a number of such scenes on my old MacBook Air. Now, I'd like to enjoy their artistry on my MacBook Pro Retina.

http://www.ifixit.com/ has directions for do it yourself. Also look at PRAM battery instructions, as sometimes this can fix optical drive issues.
You can get external or internal drives from http://www.macsales.com/
I also suggest in the future, take care of this problem while it is still under warranty. It may have cost you nothing.

How can I find the serial number of my stolen MacBook Pro?

Hi,
I had my 2009 Macbook Pro stolen about 10 months ago. I didn't think I'd see it again until last last it showed up on my "Find My Phone" App, in Vietnam.
I locked it straight away and sent a message to the screen with my email address.
The person who had it worked at a computer shop and contacted me straight away.
He understands its stolen and wants to help but he will only give it to the police. And the Vietnamese police want my serial number to proove its mine before they will send it back to me.
I don't have a copy of the recpiet or serial number. I've been to the iStudio where I bought it and thier records start 1 month after I purcahsed it.
I've tried the https://supportprofile.apple.com page and for some reason my macbooks are not registered on there. All my other apple products are.
Is there any other way I can retrieve my serial number?
It's conected to the icloud and the app and I've made puchases on iTunes from it.
Any help would be very much appreciated
Many Thanks

How can I sync the contacts from outlook on my macbook pro with my iPhone

My iPhone 5 is backing up on iCloud and my music, etc is syncing through iTunes (11.4) on my MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3 but my calendar and contacts from Outlook 2011 are not syncing. Does anyone know which settings I may need to change? I have updated my operating system to OS X 10.9.4 and iTunes.

You'll need to find a way to export your Outlook contacts and calendar to Apple's Contacts and Calendar applications. There are some paid software apps that can do this but I don't know of any free way other than exporting each event/contact individually. Outlook 2011, when it first came out, synced well with iCal and Address Book (or whatever it was called) but that's no longer the case... maybe when Office for Mac 2014 comes out?
Sorry that I don't have an answer to what seems to be a common problem.

How can I check the date of purchase for my MacBook Pro?

I need to fill out a claim in order to get OS X Mountain Lion and I need the date of purchase. I have tried putting in the serial code under check your service and support coverage but it just gave me a vague statement thatit was purchased mid 2012. Could someone please tell me how I can check the date of purchase?

Well, correction, just checked mine...
Tells you exipry date of warranty, simply take 1 year off of this or 3 if you have AppleCare.
There is your purchase date.

How can I Improve the Performance using Global Temo Tables ??

Hi,
Can anyone tell me , How can i make use of Global Temporary Tables to improve the Performance.
I have few sample scripts ,
Say i have the View based on some Complex query like ,
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW Profile_values_view AS
SELECT d.Profile_option_name, d.Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
u.User_name, Level_id, Level_code
FROM Profile_definitions d, Profile_values v, Profile_users u
WHERE d.Profile_option_id = v.Profile_option_id
AND ((Level_code = 'USER' AND Level_id = U.User_id) OR
(Level_code = 'DEPARTMENT' AND Level_id = U.Department_id) OR
(Level_code = 'SITE'))
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM PROFILE_VALUES P
WHERE P.PROFILE_OPTION_ID = V.PROFILE_OPTION_ID
AND ((Level_code = 'USER' AND
level_id = u.User_id) OR
(Level_code = 'DEPARTMENT' AND
level_id = u.Department_id) OR
(Level_code = 'SITE'))
AND INSTR('USERDEPARTMENTSITE', v.Level_code) >
INSTR('USERDEPARTMENTSITE', p.Level_code));
Now i have created the Global temp Table as ,
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE Profile_values_temp
Profile_option_name VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
Profile_option_id NUMBER(4) NOT NULL,
Profile_option_value VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
Level_code VARCHAR2(10) ,
Level_id NUMBER(4) ,
CONSTRAINT Profile_values_temp_pk
PRIMARY KEY (Profile_option_id)
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS ORGANIZATION INDEX;
Now I am Inserting the Records into Temp table as
INSERT INTO Profile_values_temp
(Profile_option_name, Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
Level_code, Level_id)
SELECT Profile_option_name, Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
Level_code, Level_id
FROM Profile_values_view;
COMMIT;
Now what my doubt is, when do i need to execute the Insert Statement.
Say , if the View returns few millions of records , then loading such a data into Global Temporary table takes lot of time.
Then what is the use of Global Temporary tables and how can i improve the Performance using the same.
Raj

Thanks for the responce ,
There are 2 to 3 complex views in our database, and there always be more than 5000+ users will be workinf on the application and is OLTP application. Those complex views are killing the application performance.
I what i felt was, if i create the Global Temporary tables for thow views and will be able to load the one third million of records returned by the views in to cache and can improve the application performance.
I have created the Global Temporary tables for 2 views with the option On Commit Preserve , But after am inserting the records into the Temp table and when i Issue the commit statement, the Temp table is getting Cleared.
I really got surpised of this behaviour as i know that with the Option On Commit Preserve , the rows should retain in the Temp Table, Instead , it's getting cleared.
Pelase suggest , what to do ??

How can I improve the performance of my MBP battery?

Hi, I've had my MBP 2.2GHz for about 2 months and a half now. I use the iStat Pro widget, and it says I've cycled the battery 94 times and the health is down to 92%.
I've looked up how to optimize the performance and realized I've misused my battery excessively. I use the WI-Fi 95% of the time. I mainly use it for school. This is what a day in use usualy is:
Charging all night, about an hour of use without power source, half an hour of use connected to the power source, about an hour of use without power source, 40 minutes with power source, and then asleep until I get home and use it usually connected to a power source unless not in my desk.
I still don't quite get what exactly the cycles mean, but I'll be calibrating the battery soon.
The question is: How could I optimize the performance to my battery and what habits will make it last longer? Is there any way I could recover the health of it? I plan on buying a new battery soon.

Welcome to the Forums!
Actually, you are already using your battery in an optimal manner. Li-based batteries need to be used frequently and 'lightly' (i.e. not fully discharged too often) for best longevity. 92% health after 94 cycles is good (Apple specification is 80% health for 300 cycles).
You should properly calibrate your battery every 2 months or so:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86284
For more info on batteries and a what constitutes a cycle, see these pages:

Hope this helps...

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac? I've changed from a Macbook to a iMac because that one stopped working and I cannot use it anymore. I've been able to import all the data of the last backup of the Macbook when setting the new iMac, but I cannot access now to the old backups of the Macbook and there are information that wasn't in the last backup and I would like to recover. Thank you very much.

HI GUYS, HOW CAN I REGISTER THE ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD ON MY MACBOOK AFTER REGISTERING IT ON MY IMAC THX TO ALL

I am not clear on what you mean by "register" but if you mean you want to install it on another machine then you just need to install it the same way you did for the first machine.
