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.

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 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 get auto caps to work?

Unless that feature is available on the keyboard itself, then you probably can't. You either have to press the shift key when an uppercase letter is desired or hit caps lock.

Unless your talking about the welcome screen that gives a choice of what to start when ckicking on the pse 3 shortcut (welcome screen, organizer or editor)
Window>Welcome in the editor or organizer
Or auto launching the adobe photo downloader when you have a camera or camera card connected.

How to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing?

How to sync my iphone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing? When I initially set up everything it worked fine; however, now my contacts are not syncing between devices?
I have Icloud and even paid for ectra storage to see if this was the issue but it doesnt seems to be. When I try and view devices on my itunes to sync it will not allow - blank option?
If anyone could please help it would be really appreciated- thanks in advance:)

I don't know how you got to your current position, but you might want to start by replacing your calendar with your MacBook Pro calendar if it is correct (if it isn't, skip this): first disable calendar syncing on your phone (Settings>iCloud>Calendars set to OFF), then prior to syncing open iTunes on your computer and disable automatic syncing (under Preferences>Devices>Disable...from syncing automatically syncing). Next connect your phone and set your sync settings on the Info tab to Syc Calendars with iCal, and below under Advanced choose "Replace Information on this iPhone" and check Calendars. Now sync and this will hopefully replicate your MacBook calendar on your iPhone.
Next, carefully review this to see that you have correctly set up iCloud on both your phone and your MacBook: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/, and that your meet the minimum system requirements (latest version of iOS on your phone, latest version of iTunes, OSX Lion 10.7.2 or later).

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).
Here is some additional information about Airplay for Mac:

All the best,

How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s? And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.

How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s?
And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.
I have been using the standard camera on the iPhone and require 300 dpi to create photo books as the photos are resized according the layout.
Your time and assistance in appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Tonefox!
After looking at a few of the links I found a mathematical equation that assisted me.
Inches = Pixels/DPI
eg: 3 inches = 300 pixels/100 DPI
Using this equation and the fact that iPhone 4s takes photos that are 3264 x 2448 I was able to work out the largest print I could make with 300 DPI.
Width 3264 pix/ 300 DPI = 10.88 inches
Height 2448 pix/ 300 DPI = 8.16 inches
Therefore, the largest print (with 300DPI) I can make of these photos is 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches.
Which is great!
So is it critical for me to change the dpi in say photoshop or does it not matter as long as I don't go above the 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches?
From what I can gather the smaller I resize the photo the higher the DPI and the bigger I stretch the photo the lower the DPI?
Further clarification will be much appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone know How to run twin monitors on a MacBook Pro operating on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

Hi
Does anyone know How to run twin monitors on a MacBook Pro operating on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

I know this doesn't help you much, but, I think you have to see if your Mac pro does audio out via HDMI. I don't even know if mine does via DVI. I think it may have to do with the adapter. Try going into Audio MIDI and setting the digital out to multichannel
and using the toslink cable for now. Lemme see...apparently DVI does not carry audio at all. Hm. apparently monoprice could be helpful? If I understand what you're saying correctly: you want to take DVI and multichannel audio via the Toslink and have it all go out over HDMI, right? Whooo..... amazon...looks like it's about $100http://www.amazon.com/Audio-SPDIF-Toslink-Converter-Adapter/dp/B0015YYOQQ
just a shot in the dark
I'm probably wrong....or not

How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo

How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo:
I want to known how to install windows 7 on Old Macbook 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo by using usb
I try many time, but after restart bootcamp partition, apple show blinking folder error
I think this firmware not support to install windows by usb
NOTE:
I Cannot install Apple New OSX Mountain Lion, Mavericks etc in this MAC
If I cannot install windows 7 on this MAC, so tell me what I will do with this MAC ?

I agree with the optical drive, mine acted strange, and i thought people were crazy and my drive was shot, but a simple cleaning disc worked miracles.
But- are you trying to reboot with both the USB install and the DVD install both plugged in? that would definitely cause confusion.
Do this, reboot with NOTHING plugged in. Once you hear the Mac chime, immediately press and hold option.
You should only see the Mac HD, and Recovery Partition.
THEN plug in your external DVD, and wait a min or two, you should see a disc icon appear next to the recovery partition that says something like windows. If that doesnt appear after a min or two, unplug it and put the USB stick and do the same thing. I had to do it this way on my mid 09 MBP.
Let me know if this works to start the install. If not we may have to start over with Bootcamp Assistant
