Not aware of anybody else having logged-in (eg Mrs W) so wondering how to check?
Any suggestions most welcome!

How do i delete a user from my macbook pro?

How do I delete a user from my macbook pro?

If you've admin privileges and there are no files in the user account that you want to keep, just go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock it with your admin password. Select the user that you want to delete and click on the minus button. You'll get a warning before you completely delete the user but once it's gone, it's gone.

How do I check the Specs on my Macbook pro ?

How do I check the Specs on my Macbook pro to make sure i have what i ordered? THe last time I wanted the SATA 7200rpm but they sent me the 5400. How do I see this on my mac? can't seem to find it.

Here is something i copied from another forum site that could answer your question-
Look in your "System Profiler", you can find it using Spotlight or looking for it in the Utilities folder, which is in your Applications folder.
This will give you the model number, which you will then have to find online (probably using Google) to find out what speed that particular model number is.
Then again, someone might have an easier answer.
"That's exactly what I did. My MacBook Pro has a Seagate Momentus ST9160823AS Drive in it. Running that model number, it shows a 7200 RPM speed."

How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I'd like to use multiple displays with them. Can I do this without an Apple TV? They are both on the same network. If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
Thanks!

Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

How do you select multiple files on a macbook pro?

Can anyone tell me how to select multiple files at one time? I am so frustrated with the way macbook pro works that I really regret buying it. I hate that you can't select multiple files, and that my contact stuff keeps changing. It is certainly not like I was told...that I would never want to use a PC again. I would not buy another apple computer. I spent a lot of money to NOT be able to do things that I have always done with ease. Every time I think I have something figured out, it doesn't work the next time I go to use it in another program. If anyone has an answer to this, I would sure appreciate it.
And all of these so called wonderful updates to the operating system on all mac products have left me frustrated and liking my apple products far less than I did before. On my iphone I had to make the texts just huge to even be able to see the white writing on a blue background. Not sure who made these designs, but from my perspective, I can tell you they certainly weren't thinking about being user friendly in any way when they did it. So disappointed in all of my devices! I do not enjoy using my computer, ipad, or iphone even close to what I did before.

This is some information on the Finder.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2470
To select multiple files you can use the shift key with the mouse if they are in a contiguous list or the CMD key with the mouse if you have breaks in that list. You can also use the mouse to drag over the files you want to select.
The Macs are easy to use, I have used many versions of Windows, Linux and other operating systems and I find OS X is far the easiest, but that is me.
There are many instructional videos and texts on Apples web site and if you are near to an Apple store they do classes to help.
Hope you get used to it.

How to share itunes with multiple users on a macbook pro?

step by step instructions will be very much appreciated as i'm not technically inclined

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There is a folder in /Users directory named "Shared" which can be opened by all users and where you can put your iTunes library to be shared among different users. Another option would be to use an external drive.
You only have to copy the iTunes library to that folder. In order to access there, open a Finder window, select the Go menu -> Go to Folder, and type:
/Users/Shared
After doing this, open iTunes while holding down the Alt key, and point iTunes to the library saved in that folder. Finally, open iTunes, go to iTunes menu (in the menu bar) -> Preferences -> Advanced, and choose the iTunes Media folder in the Shared folder. Do this in all your users.
Both roaringgnome's and Niel's answer (which is the same as this one) are valid. Just use the one you want to :-)

How-to: how do I check the disk speed on MacBook Pro?

I ordered and received a MacBookPro 15". I ordered the faster disk: "200GB Serial ATA @ 7200 rpm [Add $100.00]" QUESTION: how can I verify that I did in fact got this 7200 rpm disk?
thanks
Foad

Check your System Profiler. Go to your Apple menu, select "About This Mac," click on "More Info" and click on "Serial-ATA" in your System Profiler. It will give you the make and model number of the drive.

How to set up multiple monitors on a MacBook Pro

Does anyone know how I might be able to set up more than one monitor to my MBP?
Is there a splitter available, or some other means of connecting additional monitors? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
still the best solution although pricey http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/
There are some USB-connected graphics expansions avaiable for Mac, but IMHO these are still not up to the task speedwise.

How do I let other users on my MacBook Pro update apps that I've downloaded?

I recently left a position as an IT at a school district where I was put in charge of all Mac products district wide. Most of the important apps, such as Apple Configurator or Remote Desktop, were downloaded using a district Apple ID, but many of the apps downloaded (regrettably) were through my own personal Apple ID. Is there a way to allow other accounts on the computer to update these apps without my Apple ID and password? If not, is there a way we can at least re-download those apps via the district Apple ID and transfer the data to that one? Running Mac OS 10.8.5 on a mid 2011 MacBook Pro. Thanks in advance for any help.

That's a lot of travel. Hope she's a hottie!!! But I'll skip the poutine. Not one of my favorites. Been to Whistler in the summer, and the skiing isn't all that good. Not enough sand.

How can i check the temperature of my macbook pro

Hi, my Macbook pro, purchased in November '13, seems to get quite warm when streaming videos or using skype. I understand that these are heavy on the VPU, but it seems to get a lot warmer than my other PC notebooks. The fan was audible for the first time ever today. Is there a trusted app that can be used to measure core temps?

There are many.
iStatPro is a widget for the Dashboard.
Temperature Monitor is one such app.
Google, try the app store.

How can i check for virus in my macbook pro

See my Mac Malware Guide for a complete answer to that question.
I notice that you posted this in reply to an earlier (and unanswered) concern you had about your webcam, but I don't really understand what that concern is. If you could clearly describe whatever problem you're having, rather than assuming it's due to a virus, we'll be able to help you more effectively.

How do I connect multiple bluetooth devices to macbook pro

Hi,
I would like to connect bluetooth headset(Bose), my Magic mouse together to my macbook pro.
Also, If possible, I would like to use bluetooh headset and wired headset at the same time.
Is it possible, if yes, could some one guide me.
Regards
Sandy

Multiple Bluetooth devices may be connected to your computer at the same time.
Set up differs from device to device. The Bluetooth set up assistant should find new devices when they are turned on and in range of your computer.

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)?

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)? Currently each of us has our own iTunes account, so I've made an "all office" Apple ID. However, I can't seem to get two different accounts (my personal and the office) to work on my machine. Even when I login as "the office", my personal library is still showing. Additionally, when I try to setup with a first-time use in iTunes, I get an error that I don't meet the minimum age requirement - no matter what birthdate I enter!

The library exists regardless of which user is logged in.
The only way around that is to create different user accounts on the computer.
There is no way to have 20 unique iTunes users access a shared iTunes under a single login on the computer.

How do I "check" multiple songs at same time?

I'm trying to backup my itunes library to DVD, but itunes will only burn songs from a playlist if the box is checked. I have 900+ songs that are unchecked that I need to backup. I realize I can just re-import them from the original CD, but then I will also have to rate the songs all over again.
A. How do I check multiple songs, or...
B. Is there another way to backup the ratings data for each song?

Highlight all the songs that you want, you could hit command+A to select them all.
Then right click, or control+click and choose "Check Selections"

How can I have multiple users on one apple id?

How can I have multiple users on one apple ID?
ie: I have my apple ID with my own credit, how can I set up credit for my son under the same apple ID, so that he can still access the same apps I've already downloaded and paid for?

I've been trying to figure out a clean way to do this too. I think you may need more than one Apple ID – one that is shared and used to purchase "sharable" items and then "individual" Apple IDs for you and your son. That's the idea that I'm pursuing for the moment.
It seems that there must be a way to do this, App Store purchases for the Mac are licensed across multiple machines. iPhone app purchases have "all your devices" licensing. Makes me think that Apple has a process in mind for sharing an account (or associating a device with multiple accounts).
Other things I've learned:
- Apparently you can't merge Apple ID accounts. I asked about this once at an Apple Store and was told that there was no way to do it.
- If you share an Apple ID the Messages app behaves in a somewhat surprising manner. It must use your Apple ID to decide where messages should be sent because all users get all messages. This can make it very hard to organize a surprise party :-)
