Use a alias, but you might have to use a zip code that matches the location used.
Also if you click the right button there is a way to bypass the registration, like register later or something, Apple has it hidden. Also to bypass the internet connection to send the registration off.
Never place your name on a Mac or PC, it's spread throughout the entire machine, in emails, on the network in plain sight etc.

Hi, I am going to reset my Macbook Pro to factory settings but I would like to back it up first. I have backed it up to an external Hard Drive so if I were to wipe the laptop, would i be able to retrieve all of my files and applications. (Office Mac, Adobe CS6, Logic Pro)
When OS X asks you to restore a backup, it will allow you to select what you want to restore from the backup, Just select the things you need, because if you select everything, you will be in the same status as before restoring the Mac to factory settings. This has nothing to do with erasing the hard drive
It's OK to make backups with Time Machine -

Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

Do you mean by "reset to factory settings" re-installing the OS X version it had originally?

I have upgraded my MacBook Pro 15 late 2011 to 8Gb RAM, now when I go to about this mac in it more info it doesn't show AMD graphics card as it used to before, it just show Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB is that a problem that I need to worry about?
and in system report >> hardware >> Graphics/Display >> it shows both grafics card listed.Some Mac's when the RAM is increased the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics will bump itself up to the higher video RAM it takes, this seems to be what occured.
It also means the dedicated graphics card will be used less, but only so slightly less.
You obviously still should have both, you can test this by turning off Graphics Switching in Energy Saver, that will use the decicated AMD card all the time.
You can also run Cinebench and compare the scores here

When I turn on my Macbook Pro and sign in, the screen is blank, none of the icons appear, I can't click, open or do anything! Help!
You could try this; Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode.It takes awhile to come up so patience is a virtue here.

how to reset macbook pro to factory setting?
To restore your computer to factory settings:
1. Hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
2. Select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
After reinstalling OS X, you will have to reinstall your iLife applications. If your Mac came with DVDs, just insert the Applications disc and install them. If your Mac didn't come with DVDs, open App Store > Purchases, and download the iLife applications -
I have a MacBook Pro. When surfing the web it will eventually slow to a crawl. When this occurs, there will be a small multi-colored wheel spinning until my latest command is handled. What is causing this and is there a way that I can modify or prevent this from happening? Is there a setting that will prevent this?
When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

How to erase a Macbook Pro Hard drive when the screen is dead
I have a Macbook Pro (2007) with a dead screen and a motherboard issue. Just bought a new macbook and i was planning on transfering the hard drive over and selling my pro on ebay for parts, Is there anyway i can securely delete my data from the computer without seeing it on the screen before i decide to sell it?
Be sure your dead Mac isn't covered by this program:

If it is, you can get a free repair, and it would be worth a lot more on EBay.
Good luck! -

I have had my macbook pro for 4 months and it is now running extremely slowly
please can somebody help me, i don't know anything technical about computers. my 15'' macbook pro has overnight started to run extremely slowly, it is now becoming impossible to use my macbook and it is only 4 months old, i have no idea why and the only things i have put on it are the software updates. my macbook came with snow leopard but i got a free copy of lion to put on the very next day and i've never had any problems. i'm desperate to get this sorted as i'm disabled and it is a lifeline to me. thank you in advance to anyone who can help me. lynda.
i took my macbook to the apple store i bought it from, they checked the memory and hard drive and everything was ok, after a re install of the operating system i still had a problem so apple advised me to back up everything to an external drive the erase everything then reinstall which i've done and am now up and running again, it's like i have a new macbook

Late 2011 Macbook Pro green pixels on the screen where dark colors should appear.
I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro I bought it new with 4 gb of ram. About 4 months ago i purchased 8 gb of pny ram for this model and upgraded the ram. I followed all of the safety precautions and discharged my static electricity before upgrading. It increased the speed of my mac and helps with certain tasks. About 2-3 weeks i notices my mac froze and strange green black and pink bars appeared on the screen so i hold the power button to shut it down and it solves the problem this will happen about once a month but otherwise my mac works perfect. Now about a month ago I powered my mac on and low and behold The screen was covered in green pixels. I tried rebooting twice and it didn't do anything then i let it sleep for about 5 mins opened my mac and the green pixels were gone. Now my mac is still usable and everything works its just sometimes like once in a while ill get a few pixels and closing and opening my mac fixes it. I was curious if this was related to one another or is my mac just starting to die....
I have been getting green pixels/boxes the last while...
I have noticed it after waking the machine from sleep. Not 100% sure if that is the only time it happens. It goes away after a few seconds, typically.
Any idea what is going on? -
MacBook Pro Display Rectangles on the screen
My Macbook Pro Displays Diagonal Rectangles across the screen. These rectangles also appear when I attach it to an external monitor. Also, when this problem started it will only boot in safe mode.
Here is a picture of the problem:
Any help would be appreciated.Dou you have an ATO Graphics card? I used to have a similar problem on a Windows machine with an ATI X850XT. I tried taking out and re-installing the card. This fixed the problem for a while. I came back, tried the same, problem solved.
Don't know what causes it, though... But I don't think it's software related. Could be I'm wrong, though... -

What is making my macbook pro crash and causing the screen to become distorted?
I've posted before and thought my problem was solved. Thanks to the folks who helped. I'm still having the problem with certain programs causing my screen to split in two and become distorted. Sometimes I'm able to force quite and others I'm not. Just a few days ago, I tried to run iPhoto. The screen did the crazy distorted thing and the computer crashed. The screen locked up and I had to hard boot it. Today, I tried to run iPhoto again. This time I got the error message from Apple and the computer rebooted. This was the error message I received:
