The first time I used my mac book pro I selected a wifi. I dont use this wifi anymore, I use another one. But every time I open the mac it chooses the the first wifi. I dont know how to changes this. I want the new wifi to bee the default one. Thanks!

Not sure what your question has to do with an AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
On your Mac......
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on WiFi on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
Your Mac will connect first to the network listed at the top of the list
Drag the network that you want to use first to the top of the list
Make sure that there is a check mark in the box next to Remember networks this computer has joined
No other boxes should be checked
Close System Preferences
Restart your Mac

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can purchase Lion from the Mac App Store. You will need to meet the requirements for Lion, but the Mac App Store will tell you whether your Mac is capable of running Lion or not.

HT4539 i want to by an ebook in Greek for How to Use the MacOS Lion but i want to download it on a mac book pro 10.7.4 will i be able to read it????

i want to by an ebook in Greek from iTunes explaning the use for the Lion,but iam not sure if ill be able to read it on my Mac book pro 10.7.4 can you help me with an answer?????

You would have to change the iTunes country in order to download the eBook in Greek, but there's a problem with that.
Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Keep in mind, iBooks available from the iTunes store cannot be used on your Mac. Two different operating systems. iOS vs Mac OS X.

Want to reinstall maverick in my mac book pro

i upgraded to maverick but i want to clean my mac so i want to reinstall it in a clean way and put my mac book pro like coming from factory
is it possible to do that from internet?

This will install Mavericks by Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I want use tally accounting software in mac book pro

What is your Mac OS X version in Apple menu -> About This Mac?
If it is 10.7 or later, search http://www.roaringapps.com/ for solutions that match your operating system.
If it is 10.6 to 10.6.8, see this http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
Earlier versions of Mac OS X are harder to find software for:
If you aren't running at least 10.6.8, you pretty much have the same compatibility as any 10.4.4 through 10.6.7 system, and can upgrade for limited cost if any:

Beyond 10.7 it gets complicated:

HT2589 Why did the App store make me purchase Pages again? I already bought Pages, Keynote and Numbers for my Ipad and I want to download them on my Mac Book Pro and they aren't in the purchases tab.

Why did the app store make me purchase Pages again? I already bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my Ipad and want to download them onto my Mac Book and they aren't in the purchases tab. I thought I would try clicking on the buy button for Pages, thinking, it would say I already purchased this app, but it didn't. Where are all my purchases? I used the same Apple ID I use for all my Apple devices. Help! I really don't want to buy them all again.

The version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the Mac will be different than the iOS version and will require a separate purchase.

I'm considering buying a mac book pro. I want a few opinions about the mac book pro compared to a pc. I've been a pc user. How do you rate the mac compared to a pc?

With Mac's, there are less software and hardware choices, Apple almost demands you upgrade the operating system (paid) annually now, then inflicts all sorts of unexpected UI changes etc., and breaks your third party software/hardware.
With Windows you might have malware, but on Mac's the pain comes with constant OS X upgrades and bricking of third party software, it's like Apple has no stability.
DRM is becoming standard issue, you can't install OS X on your own via the disks, it has to be downloaded from Apple now.
OS X is turning into iOS that's all controlling, all Apps are copy protected, open source software is not allowed.
Hardware quality is mixed now, 13" and below have cheap low res glossy screens like any other $400 Walmart PC, the 15" and up high res anti-glare are very nice models.
OS X is just a paint job on hardware with Apple "oh a new OS!", it's not a stable long term operating system in the sense that Windows versions are which you can set it up, make a backup and go on nearly forever.
At least with Windows one can reinstall the OS and get updates for 10+ years, all one has to do is buy quality long lasting hardware from a huge choice of vendors.
So value wise, hardware and software choice, 3D gaming, business world, standardization etc., Windows 7 is pretty sweet now. Vista and XP of course were terrible.
Apple's OS X Lion is terrible, it's the beginning of the end, a transition to locked down iOS X on Mac's and Apple's exit from the "computing" market into something only for consumers only really based on the closed iOS concept. They are really going overboard on this, pushing the App Store in your face when you do searches and everything.
The "candy like" OS X interface gets kind of tiring, it used to be we could avoid a lot of it, but now Apple is pressing it more into one's faces. So forget having a professional or mature look about OS X anymore.
The App Store is like something made and to appeal to children and Toy Story cartoon watchers, not appealing to mature serious people.
OS X is pretty and all, the high quality screens of Mac's make OS X look nice and attractive, but I also run Windows 7 on my Mac and it looks just as great, Windows also has a more mature looking UI.
All in all there is really no advantage to getting a Mac over a PC anymore, since with Win 7 Microsoft provides the free Security Essentials and System Restore to make disks and images to restore one's own machine themselves easy as pie.
I'm a long time Mac user, from day one, because Mac's were innovative and more secure than Windows, however Apple has tarnished that image when I found out they were not issuing security updates for older OS X versions and not fast enough for Java, (they control) which resulted in a 600,000 botnet of Mac's called Flashflake.
Sure finally Apple issued a security update for 10.5 users, but on Intel processors only, not the zillions still on PowerPC processor Mac's.
Apple is so much about change to sell hardware that they burn bridges behind them, hopefully that will change now under Tim Cook's rule, (Steve Jobs died) I suspect it will.
Apple's OS X market share has been decreasing, not because Apple isn't selling things, but rather a larger portion of it's users are now using iOS devices instead of Mac's.
Before iOS arrived, it was 10% of users on OS X/Macs, now it's 4% iOS and 6% on OS X/Macs as recorded outside of China's Great Firewall.
I guess the positive thing is, I've only got one piece of malware on my Mac's in 24 years, however I've spent about 10x more for my computers over the years than my PC using friends have because of all the Apple hardware and OS X changes draining my wallet.
For instance they changed video out from DVI to Dual DVI, to Displayport to something else and now Thunderbolt, it's just insane you can't go back into a Apple store and pickup a piece of hardware anymore or older OS X, they start pumping you to change this or that and don't tell you what's it's really going to cost in the end to upgrade everything.
I swear they want us to turn over our machines every two years now like a iPhone or something.
If your a smart PC user, you know then what hardware to buy and how to reinstall Windows yourself, I don't see why you would give up so much hardware and software choice to use a locked down, DRMed Mac that's designed for newbies and children mostly and exiting the "pro" type market more and more every year.
If you think my compaints about Apple above pale in comparison to your experience with Windows 7, then by all means get a Mac, bring a fat wallet and they will be all over you like any high end fashion or Gucci store would.

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos, documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want to move those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again to another external hard drive 1T. My question is:

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos,documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want tomove those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again toanother external hard drive 1T. My question is: Is it possible? Doing this willnot affect the files that I had in windows? No information is lost? or how cani do it?

Connect the external drive to your Mac and drag the files from it to your Mac's internal drive. Then dismount and disconnect the external drive, connect the 1TB external drive, and drag the files from the internal drive onto the external. Nothing will have been deleted from any of the drives up to this point; the files will only have been copied. Verify that the files are readable. There's no reason they shouldn't be; this is just a precaution.
Now if you wish to delete the files from any of the drives, drag them to the Trash, and Empty the Trash while the drive from which they came is still connected. If you disconnect the drive before emptying the Trash, the files you were trying to remove from it won't be deleted. They'll remain in the Trash and continue to take up space on the drive.
Note that if your external drives are in NTFS format, you won't be able to write anything to them or delete anything from them, though you will be able to read and copy the files they contain. The NTFS disk format is read-only to the Mac OS, unless you have a third-party NTFS driver installed. To make your drives cross-platform readable and writable, you must reformat them in the FAT32 or ExFAT format.

Upgradeing on mac book pro

i have a dual 1.8 g5 and a mac book pro, i have FCE 3.0 loaded onto my g5 and want to have FCE on my Mac book pro. Does that version have universal, do i need to load that disc onto my pro if i buy the upgraded version? can not find my disc as i have moved since buying it.

Sorry - Universal Binary.
FCE 3.0 and earlier will work on Intels if you press "esc".
They will not work quite as fast as FCE 3.5 because they are going through Rosetta, but they should perform OK.
I haven't heard of any problems other than the slower performance.

How much does it cost to upgrade a mac book pro 2010 mid range?

I want to find how much upgrading Mac book pro mid range? Ideally a list of what can be upgraded and how much.....and i know apple can upgrade, i do not care about the cost or if it is worth it.... just want to know how much and what can be upgraded...

The performance bottleneck for your MBP is the hard drive.
You will see significant improvements in overal performance by upgrading the HD to a SSD.
Btw, Apple is not in the business of upgrading your existing MBP. Apple rather you buy a new MacBook Pro.
In all fairness to Apple, the 2011 MBP quad-core is almost twice as fast as the 2010 MBP dual-core for multi-core aware applications.
Here are Mac benchmarks.

I have a 17" Mac Book Pro and a 13" Mac Book Pro...both use the same Apple ID. My wife now wants to change the Apple ID on the 13" to her Apple ID. How do I do this and not loose the information on that computer?

Hello Teddy53149 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,

Can I change wifi channel on mac book pro (Lion)?

After installing Lion I have WiFi connection time out problems on my mac book pro.
After much effort when the macbookpro wifi is able to be connected with my NETGEAR router (wifi setting set on channel 11), connection is slow (speed=1 or 5) and the channel is 6 not 11. Can I change channel (on mbpro)?
Mode: PHY: 802.11g
BSSID: e0:91:91:f5:48:ec:7c
Channl: 6 (2,4 Ghz)
Security: WPA2 Personal
RSSI: -77
Spedd: 5
Index MCS: 0
Thank you very much for your help!

Channels are set by the access point - your Netgear. If your Netgear has 2 or more antennas, it may support a multi-channel mode which can be a little confusing since you could very well have it say "11" but your MAC say "6". Also make sure "automatic" channel selction in the Netgear is OFF (see below).
When I encounter problems like this, and it used to work fine, it usually turns out to be one of::
- Interference from phones, 2.4 GHz is used by many cordless phones and headsets. Having one near your MAC or between your MAC and the Netgear will knock you off of WiFi.
- Interference from other access points. If anybody near you is also on Ch 11, then your MAC will struggle to connect and be very slow.
- Automatic channel selection can cause constant channel hopping. MAC OSX takes up to 3 minutes to discover the channel has changed. I always turn this feature off in the Access Point. You should check to see if any other acess points are nearby, and what channel they use. You want to use one that is as far away from anybody else.
- Non-standard features. Your Netgear may support non-standard Wireless modes that your MAC does not undertsand. For diagnosis and troubleshooting I usually turn all enhancements OFF. Debug with "-g" or "-n" only. And disable multiple channels.
Channels 6 and 11 are common defaults, so I would not be surprised if you need to switch to channel 1 or 2.

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card?

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card? All we have is a phone signal in this rural French location. I want to be able to Skype to states from there. We have a friend with a 3G ipad who uses an Orange sim card to do it. I would rather not have to buy an Ipad.
thanks

I found out that the data package for one month useage with MiFi is 1G. How many minutes of online time does that correspond to?

Me and my wife have one apple Id. I want to start my own. How do i delete it off my ipod and mac book pro..and then start a new one

I share the same apple Id with my wife. How do I delete our current one from my mac book pro and start a new one. thanks

There are many ways one can go about this; do you want to manage multiple ID's with one computer? Do you want to retain all content purchased with the other ID?

I want to change my default wifi mac book pro
