How do I disable AirPlay on my Macbook Pro

I don't understand how to disable AirPlay on my macbook pro. It keeps asking for a password...In which i never set! Now my garageband is soundless and a pop up keeps coming on my screen asking for the password.

You had to have set up a password when the machine was first purchased. Registration will not let you get past it when you boot up the first time. You'll have to reboot holding down the Command and R keys at the same time, select Recovery Partition, and in the menus at the top there should be an option to reset password.
More about recovery partitions is at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

  • How do I disable iMessage on my MacBook pro?

    I have purchased a MacBook Pro for Christmas and whilst viewing different applications I couldn't close the message application unless I typed in my Apple id password. Now, I am recieving iMessages at not only my iPhone and iPod but my mac too. How can i disable this on my mac??? 

    I just figured this out, yay! You need to be on your laptop to do this. Open the iMessage app, then look up at the top left of the screen on your laptop and it should be the apple icon, "messages", File, Edit, View, History, etc. Click on "Messages", then click on "Preferences", then click on the accounts in the box on the left - because a pop-up will open after you click on "Preferences". I was unable to remove the accounts, but I was able to uncheck all the boxes and disable the accounts. Voila! Mission accomplished.

  • How do i initiate airplay on my macbook pro

    I have just purchased and set up Apple TV.  I have a Macbook Pro with the latest IOS.  How do I initiate Airplay? 

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you are referring to AirPlay, open iTunes and you will see the AirPlay icon on the toolbar if you have the Mac and the Apple TV connected to the same network > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437
    If you are referring to AirPlay Mirroring, read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, you can use a third-party application like Beamer or AirParrot, that work in the same way

  • How do i enable airplay on my macbook pro

    How do I enable airplay on macbook pro. I have a denon receiver that can handle airplay.

    Turn on the receiver and ensure AirPlay is enabled on it (you may need to configure it to access your network). Then open iTunes and you should see an AirPlay icon next to the volume control. Click this and you should see the receiver as an airplay option. With it checked, audio should stream to the receiver. You can check or uncheck other devices as well, including the Mac.

  • How do I disable game center in macbook pro

    A couple of  apps I downloaded, a casino slot, want the game center to become involved.  I do not want to have anything to do with the game center.
    Other games e.g. solitaire card games do not cause the game center to pop up.  How do I disable this?

    Thanks, I tried that and it did not work.  It never showed up in the login items. 
    The strange thing is that went the game comes up the game center slash opens but you cannot
    enter anything into the boxes including 'cancel'.  There must be a bug somewhere.  I will cancel that game and get another and try it.

  • How do I disable auto-caps on MacBook Pro 10.6.6

    *I hate autocaps!* When I want a cap, I'll hit the shift key.
    Autocaps runs system wide on my MacBookPro5,4. It's a nightmare for passwords. I never know when it's giving me a cap or not. Also, in things like the terminal it will cap a command that can't be cap'd, like "ftp - Open."
    If I decide to edit a sentence I get "This."
    Autocaps causes me so many more keystrokes than it would ever save!
    I just don't want it and I've searched high and low and there is no preference or control for it anywhere.
    Also, I have friends with MacBooks who don't see this behavior on their machine!

    I searched as well and found nothing. Are you sure you don't have any third-party software installed that might explain that behavior? Check the "Login Items" list of the Accounts panel of System Preferences.

  • HT204291 my airplay from my MacBook Pro to my tv through my apple tv is fuzzy- it just started being fuzzy about 2 months ago- it used to be clear- anyone else have this problem?  How can I fix it?

    my airplay from my MacBook Pro to my tv through my apple tv is fuzzy- it just started being fuzzy about 2 months ago- it used to be clear- anyone else have this problem?  How can I fix it?

    Hi freezebri,
    The following steps may resolve your issue:
    Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1551
    If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
    Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
    When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
    Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
    Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
    Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
    Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Selectbutton will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
    If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
    If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.
    Hope this information helps ...

  • How to mirror to tv monitor using macbook pro 2012

    how to mirror to tv monitor using macbook pro 2012.  The airplay is not displayed anywhere except I Tunes which only plays what is on I Tunes.

    Howdy there nell a-7,
    It sounds like you are not seeing the Airplay icon in the menu bar on your Mac but you do see it in iTunes. I would use these steps from the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
    Try these steps first
    Verify that your iOS device's software is up to date.
    Verify your Apple TV's software is up to date.
    Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    All AirPlay-enabled devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
    Some Wi-Fi network configurations offer a Guest Network. On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General >Network and ensure that you're connecting to the same Wi-Fi network on your iOS device. On your iOS device, tap Setting > Wi-Fi and confirm that this matches your Apple TV.
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon  , try one of the following steps:
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay.
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
    Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).
