How do I stop the ATV remote affecting my wifes Macbook Pro?

As I make selections via the remote the ATV does just what it should but it also seems to (dis)manage my wifes Macbook Pro.
How can I stop the remote from trying to control the Mac?
Thanks

Go into system preferences on the Mac, security, disable Infrared receiver.

    Thanks!

    It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

    Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

  • How do I get the sound to work on my macbook pro?

    All of a sudden the sound has stopped working on my macbook pro. It only works when I plug in speakers or headphones. I've been into system preferences and nothing worked. The sound icon at the top right of my screen is greyed out... anyone help with how to get it working again?

    System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.

  • How do I install The Sims 3 on my new macbook pro?

    I jsut got my MacBook Pro and im still learning how to run everything but i cant figure out how to install my Sims 3 game. I put it in and it acts like it is going to bring up an installer window like my old Dell used to do but then it stops and nothing happens. Where do i need to go to download the game?

    Go to the top menu bar where it says Finder (if it doesnt, click anywhere on your desktop and it should show up)
    Click on "Finder" Go to "Preferences", then under the "General" tab where it sais "Show these items in the desktop" make sure the option "CDs, DVDs and Ipods" is checked.
    Close that window and reinsert the game disc.
    It should show up on your desktop, a CD icon, just click on that icon.

  • How do I change the phone number associated with my macbook pro

    I have a new macbook pro and it somehow is associated with my husbands phone number and not mine.  So when I text it comes from his phone and all contacts associated with his phone.  How do I switch it to be my iphone?

    Hello RoandCo,
    It sounds like Messages on your MacBook Pro is associated with your husbands Apple ID phone number and not yours. On the computer check the Messages Preferences to see which Apple ID is setup with this article:
    Messages (Mavericks): Set up your accounts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15055
    Open Messages on your computer and then:
    Choose Messages > Preferences, click Accounts, then select iMessage in the Accounts list.
    If the Apple ID is not yours and has the wrong phone number in it, you can sign out of the account and setup your Apple ID instead with the sign out button.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • 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 do I reinstall the osx on a second hand macbook pro?

    My partner recently purchased the latest release of the Macbook Pro and gave me his old one. The problem is that it is still tied to his info and passwords and I would like to somehow completely wipe the system and reinstall it afresh. I have his password info, but I would rather use my own info as it is now my Macbook. Would i need to buy a program disk or take it to the Apple Genius Bar to get it wiped and reinstalled? I cannot request him to do it for me as we are now both in different countries. Is this something that I can do by myself? And how?
    Right now the system it uses is Lion (I think) OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)... he updated it shortly before he gave it to me. The Macbook was purchased sometime in late 2011... if that information is of any use.
    My apologies if my question is stupid, but I really wanna get this sorted. Thank you very much for your time.

  • How do I reinstall the free iLife apps to my Macbook Pro?

    I have a late 2008 model MacBook Pro 15. I recently had a hard drive failure. After replacing the hard drive I installed OS X Maverick. When I checked my purchased items list on iTunes the iLife apps were not listed. How do I get the free iLife apps reinstated to my iTunes account?

  • How can I stop my bluetooth keyboard from crashing my macbook pro???

    I have a bluetooth keyboard I use at my desk. Often, I'll pack my macbook pro and use it away from home. When I bring it back, what often happens as soon as I hit a key or two on the bluetooth keyboard, causing it to wake up and re-establish its connection with the macbook, is the macbook immediately freezes up and crashes.
    When it does this, a gray tint will make its way across the screen, starting from the top and working downward. Before it reaches about halfway (how far it gets seems to vary) it will freeze completely and I am forced to do a hard reset.
    Is this a known issue? Is there a known fix? It's been happening for a while now.

    Well, Charles, since no one else is taking a stab ... have ya checked your prefs in System Preferences > Hardware > Bluetooth > Advanced? "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" is enabled? Must be, already; nevermind ...
    Have you taken a peek at the output from running Applications > Utilities > Console.app > > LOG DATABASE QUERIES > Console messages? And, the ever-popular > LOG FILES > `/Library/Logs > CrashReporter? For you to have the Descending Grey Wall of Death ... the DGWoD is really creepy ( I have seen it, on the hoof, twice!), especially if it is repeatable (check the definition of insanity, as you say this has been going on for a while). Check your Console and see what is happening, and please post back: this will be so fixable! Aloha and have a great weekend!

  • How do I replace the main SATA HD in my macbook pro 9,2 with an SSD?

    Can anyone direct me to photo directions for replacing the main HD in my macbookpro? Do I need a caddy to install a 2.5 SSD? I am not trying to replace the superdrive, so those caddies are not what I am looking for. CAn I just install the SSD in the same space left for the main SATA drive without using any adapter?

    You can install the SSD in the same bay as your current HDD. You don't need a caddy.
    Here's a link on iFixit.com with pictures of how to replace the HDD on a Macbook Pro. Same instructions apply when replacing the HDD with an SSD. I recently replaced a 320GB HDD in my early-2011 13" MBP with an SSD. Very easy to do.

  • How do I get the coffee stain out of my MacBook Pro screen? Spilled coffee on it e

    I spilled coffee on my MacBook Pro this morning .... used the cool setting on my blow dryer for 20 mintues to dry out the keypad .... 
    Switched it back on in 4 hours .... everything works , except I now have a coffee stain behind my screen .... is there a way to absorb that out
    or do I have to buy a new lid for my computer ?

    You might have to have a new screen installed.  It's not too expensive ($160) and it's DIY, if you have the right tools and skills.
