How do you reset SMC on MacBook Pro

How do you reset the SMC on a MacBook Pro? I am trying to get rid of that intolerable fan noise and was told this may help.

I have had problems with a usb device from SONY, and after talking to AppleCare - I reset the SMC - and then the usb device mounted again. But, when I logged in as the normal user - the device did not mount again. Strange. Is there a difference when it comes to user levels?

And if you don't use that computer often be prepared for the mountains of new notifications the next time you run it. Especially if your like me and use your iPhone and iPad a lot for texting people. Wish iMessage in ML would know what you read somewhere else like iPad and iPhone does
I don't quite understand what you are saying? If i recieve and read an iMessage on the iPhone and then switch on my Mac, I don't get a notification about a new message, but that iMessage appears on the conversation.

How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?

How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac? I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen.

Hi there rainyri!
The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:

How to completely reset iMessage on MacBook Pro

How do I completely reset iMessage on a MacBook Pro?
Thank you.

Back up all data.
Quit Messages if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it and test after each of the following steps. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.
Step 1
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
Step 2
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
          Caches/com.apple.Messages
          Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
          Containers/com.apple.iChat
          Containers/com.apple.soagent
          IdentityServices
Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in.
Step 3
Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
          Messages
Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place.
Step 4
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
          com.apple.iChat
          com.apple.ids
          com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
          com.apple.imessage
          com.apple.imservice
Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post your results.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of Steps 3 and 4, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

How do I reset Safari on MacBook Pro, running Yosemite 10.10.3 with Safari V8.0.5? The reset button is not in Preferences, Privacy, nor on the drop-down menu of Safari.

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.3, and Safari V8.05. I want to reset Safari, but there is no reset in the Safari drop-down nor is there a reset in the Preferences - Privacy window. Any Help out there?

Hi, thanks for the response. I have searched online and many posts say to reset Safari all you have to do is click on the Safari icon, then select reset from the drop down menu, or find the reset button in the privacy window in preferences. My system has neither options. My Safari had been hijacked (frozen) by a pop-up. I cleared all history, cookies, cache, etc. with the wifi off, and it seems to have worked so far. Many posts said to reset Safari, and I don't seem to have that option.
Thanks again.

How do you tell if your macbook pro has a virus?

How can I be sure that my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 does not have a virus?
My email was suspended by the hosting company saying that the account was sending out spam.
They told me to run anti-virus on the computer and make sure it was clean; then they would take my email off suspension.
Please help, I need to have access to my email account!
Thanks

You don't have any viruses. It sounds like you may be getting scammed. Has your email account actually been locked? If it has, then send them an email stating you have no viruses on your Mac computer. Check first to be sure the email came from your hosing company's email address.

How do you sync to a macbook pro?

I just plugged in my iPod Touch to my MacBook Pro and it told me I should put my apps on to my computer before doing the latest software update...but how do I do that? I hit the "sync" button but nothing happened...I'm just trying to figure out if I missed a step or something.

Can we assume that you have iTunes 10.x installed? Can we further assume that iTunes recognizes your touch and it appears in iTunes under Devices in the left hand navigation column?
If your touch has not automatically transferred it's purchases, you can plug it into iTunes, and click on File > Transfer Purchases.
As to not syncing, there will be nothing to sync until you have content in your iTunes libraries and you have set your syncing preferences. When your iPod is recognized, you should see a series of tabs that you would click on and setup your syncing preferences.

How do you like the new macbook pro?

I got a new macbook pro on monday this week. I just found a few of questions, but it was okay. Before I've already changed computers for many times or just went to apple store to ask what problem this computer had. Now I feel a little bit tired to go again. I have always asked myself. Do I really need to buy Apple or buy another brand PC. So, I want to know what you guys think?

I picked mine up on the day they were released. The only issue I have had is two freezes and one strange sound during one of the freezes. But, I have had no issues in the past two weeks so I'm very happy. I will admit that this is the first glossy display I have owned in the fourteen years I've had a computer and it takes some getting used to.
Rather than going into the Apple Store to ask a question, perhaps posting a specific question here may help. I've read about problems people are having with the updated MB and MBP but Apple seems to be trying to fix these issues quickly.

How do you set up a MacBook Pro and a PC with one Airport Express?

I have a MacBook and my roommate has a PC and we're trying to set up my new Airport Express at our college so we can hook up our computers and printers to it. I had it so that my laptop worked fine, but hers would "connect" and not really have any internet connection at all. Class starts on Thursday, so help would be kindly appreciated!

I'm a great believer in the KISS principle.
Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition. Connect the Airport to AC power and finally to the Internet modem (or modem/router). Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations. After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands. BE PATIENT!
