How to automatically connect to wi-fi after turning macbook pro on from sleep (without pressing a button!)

Hi there, I was just wondering how to connect to wi-fi as soon as I turn my macbook pro on from sleep mode
The thing is, I constantly have to select the network i want, even though I've already set the location to automatic and even added the network to my preference list..
What else can i do?
I know a few friends who have the same macbook pro as me but do not have the same problem as me! And even they don't know what to do..

you've posted in the iPhone forum.

    Alternatively how do I connect an audio input at a level that would normally have gone into a 'line input' socket ?

    Plug it into the linein/headphone jack if there's just one.  It'll switch between the two modes automatically depending on what you plug into it.

    How do I connect three extrenal monitors to my Macbook Pro?

    I have a USB to DVI adapter from kensington. I use to use it to power at 14" display.Moving windows around had some tearing and lag. Typing lagged, but it was use-able. It was fine for displaying diffrent stats. The OS treated it as it would any additional display.
    But I found it undesirable for any thing tha requires lots dragging and clicking.
    Every so often the device would lock up. At witch point the computer would get stuck trying to detect the USB display. I would have to unplug the adapter, cycle the power on the adapter. And then it would be good for a couple more months.
    Also some times after a reboot, the adapter would stop working. I would have to unplug it, and login, and then plug it back in.
    Coping file to my USB 2 harddrive seemed to cause more lag to the USB to Video Adapter.

  • How do you connect a second monitor to a MacBook Pro

    i am wanting to connect a second monitor to my MAC so i can have 2 of my pages showing at the same time. how do i do that?

    I am pretty sure the MacBook and MacBook Pro only supports ONE external monitor of any description, even though the cabling will support two.
    The short story, that Courcoul has alluded to but not stated, is this:
    All you need is an Adapter. All the software to do elegant multiple display work is already in place in your Mac, and will be activated automatically the moment you plug it in. Nothing to Install, no settings to change. Just plug in the display.
    The default mode is Extended Desktop, where the one-monitor desktop is enhanced by having the area of the second display appended to its right side (or any other side you specify). The mouse moves freely from one display to the other, and can drag windows with it, which can be resized on the other display. You can even drop things so that half is on each display, and they will scroll and update "the right way".

  • How do i connect 7.1 speakers to my macbook pro

    Hi, so i have some 7.1 creative gigaworks s750 speakers
    http://uk.creative.com/corporate/pressroom/releases/detail.asp?ref=11537
    I used to have them connected to a soundcard which slotted into my old laptop about 2 years ago but havent used them since. I am not overly great with technology and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how i can connect them up to my mac and play the quality of sound i know they are capable of.
    Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks

    Either read the user manual that came w/the speakers and/or contact the manufacturer for instructions.  You need to determine first, if the speakers are compatible w/your current model MBP.

  • How do I connect Bowers & Wilkins speakers to my MacBook Pro via AirPlay?

    The speakers connect with my iPhone & iPad no problem but the speakers do not show under the AirPlay icon on the top toolbar of my MacBook Pro.
    When I go into Preferences > Sound > Output, I can then see the speakers but my Bluetooth speaker connection seems to take precedent - i.e. I can't change it to the B&W - I actually want to use both as the speakers are located in different rooms.
    Thank you

    The Airplay Icon on the menu bar running along the top of the screen, is for 'Airplay Mirroring' to an Apple TV. Audio is managed by Sound Preferences.
    In Sound Preferences you can only select 1 audio output device as this is associated with 'System Audio' (from Safari and notifcations).
    In order to use both the Bluetooth speaker and an Airplay speaker at the same time, I recommend using iTunes, as you're able to select multiple speakers.

  • How do i connect 5.1 speakers to my macbook pro?

    I conclude that I cannot use any 5.1 Computer Speaker sets that go with my Macbook Pro 13 and get a real Dolby sound,right?
    "Computer speakers" Basically no. They mosty are either stereo analog (for music playback) or 5.1 gaming PC speakers that are married to a 5.1 sound card for PC towers.
    You would have to have a stereo reciever and 5.1 speakers that can accept:
    1: Toslink optical inputs
    2: Decode Dolby Surround Sound
    3: The media your playing back must have a Dolby sound option.
    Most 5.1 computer speaker setups are for gaming PC towers and takes a sound card that does the processing for each channel, has three analog wires
    Wire 1: Left and Right front channels
    Wire 2: Left and Right rear channels
    Wire 3: Subwoofer and center, common ground (returns all the used electrons to complete the loop)
    Your Mac has none of these, it's just a stereo analog, 2.0, a left and right channel, common ground (three sections on the plug)
    So no you can't use a PC based 5.1 system on a Mac, unless you bridge the first two wires either with adapters or splicing the cables. Then it's not true surround sound, just two stereo channels that fills the room with sound.
    With true surround sound, you can hear people creep up behind you, bullets whizz by your face, planes flying past overhead. It's a more immersive experinece.
    So unless the "computer 5.1 speakers" has it's own Toslink optical inputs and decodes Dolby (and other) surround sound formats, has a built in amplifier to power speakers, then no. As most 5.1 comptuer speakers are designed for PC 3D gaming, thus inexpensive.
    The Mac market for 3D gaming is rather small, tiny in fact. I haven't seen any "computer speaker" setup with the required stuff to playback true suround sound.
    Mac's are used for music and video production, that's why they have the better optical ports.
    Your just going to have to buy a home theater system to playback Dolby 5.1

  • How do I backup the files on to my Macbook Pro 2010 from a damaged external hard drive?

    Awhile ago my macbook pro crashed and I had to make a bootable disk of Mountain lion no problem here but I accidentallly deleted all the files off of my hard drive from which i recovered using a PC computer and disk drill. After it had recovered all my files i later tried to put these files on to my macbook computer and disk utility views the drive as damaged and needs to be repaired but in order to do this i have to format it and change the partition and what not. When i try to copy/burn to a CD the finder stops the operation and says that "finder cannot complete the operation because file _catalog cannot be moved" and just recently when i plugged my drive into my computer the sharing permissions say read only. I know that my files are there because when i right click and press get info i see that 5 gb are used but the folder is only showing me 2gb what do i do to get my files onto my computer?
    My external hard drive is a WD 1 TB my passport and the partition thats givving my this trouble is formatted to be MS DOS FAT32
    I have parallels Windows 8
    I am running Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro Mid 2010 model

    Use Data Rescue on the Mac and out the recovered files to another external drive.
    Just grab your users files, the rest you trash. That's all you can do.
    Good Luck

  • Time Machine turns itself on after my Mac Pro wakes from sleep (every time)

    Hi,
    I have a 2009 Mac Pro and it currently has Lion on it (10.7.4), but the problem I am about to explain started when the machine was running Snow Leopard, so it doesn't appear to be an OS-specific issue.
    I do not currently use Time Machine, I use Carbon Copy Cloner and some online backup solutions to handle backups. I did use Time Machine for a short time on this machine just after it was introduced, but I didn't end up using it for long and the external drive I used for the backups is no longer in service.
    The problem is this:
    I have Time Machine off and I have all of my drives (I have 4 drives in my Mac and an external drive) set not to be backed up for good measure. Time Machine will stay off like it should except in one instance. If I put my machine to sleep, when my Mac wakes, Time Machine is instantly turned on and I get a warning telling me no backup drive has been selected and that I should pick one. I go into the Time Machine preferences and turn it off. It will remain off (I've checked the preferences to be sure) until the next time the machine is put to sleep. Time Machine will remain off, even through reboots. It is only waking from sleep that causes this.
    I've tried zapping the PRAM, getting rid of the Time Machine preferences and even logging into a new, unused user account and testing it from there and the problem continues. This is really starting to annoy me. I wouldn't mind having TM on, but having to click through the warning every time my Mac wakes from sleep is frustrating.
    I don't want to have to buy a new external hard drive and let TM backup to the drive because, as I said, I've got my backup solutions handled already and I'm not willing to put yet more money to use a feature I don't need right now.
    I've done searches online and asked around and no one has been able to help me yet. So I thought I'd try here.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Do you see a wake reason in Applications>Utilities>Console?

  • Black screen after MacBook Pro wakes from sleep; reason, solution?

    Greetings!
    I have 2 MacBook Pro machines; both are running the latest versions of OSX for their age.
    The 2 GHz Core Duo is using 10.6.8 (2GB RAM) and 2.5 GHz Duo Core 2 is using the 10.7.x (4GB RAM).
    Both are routinely used with external monitors. Every so often when either of the machines are put to sleep, the external monitor disconnected, and finally when the machine is woken, the native screen remains black and unlit. If the machine is connected to the external monitor, it shows its appropriate desktop but the finder bar is unavaible so nothing can be done short of forced shut down and a reboot.
    Am I forgetting some simple short cuts (key-bases) to bring the native screen to life or is forced shut-down really necessary?
