Is the MacBook Pro good for The Sims3 and other versions of that game

i have an early 2011 15" MBP and it runs the Sims 3 just fine. I do not have any of the expansion packs for the game but as long as your MBP meets the minimum requirements you should be just fine

Is the MacBook Pro good for typing papers in college?

I am looking at getting a MacBook Pro with retina display for college, but is it useful for typing papers??

It's not so much the hardware but rather the proper software that you need. I suggest using Microsoft Word - some people prefer other word processors, but Word can do everything and more than you will need and it's particularly good at APA styles and templates - you can create your own templates or download templates from the Internet that will work cross-platform.
Word for Mac is so full-featured that, as I said, it has features that you may never need, but if you do need them, they're there.
I'm beginning to have a preference for Word for Windows in Office 2013. But there is supposed to be a Office 2014 for Mac coming out later this year and I'm betting that it's going to look a lot like the Windows version.
Good luck,
Clinton

I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note. I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds. I can't get rid of it. I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch. But, Notes will not stop. It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

Is there an easy way to securely delete everything on my macbook PRO except for the OS and applications? Giving my old Macbook to a family member.

Is there an eay way to securely erase all information on my macbook Pro except for the OS and applicatios? I'm donating my computer but want to eliiminate my files and info.

Yes, boot to your install disk (start up while holding C key). Go to Utilities>Disk Utility. Choose erase and format your disk (make sure it's formatted as Mac OSX extended journaled). There's is a button for security options. Choose the 0 option (don't choose the multiple pass versions, or it will take forever, but that's extra security). The 0 option writes a 0 in every location on the drive, and it takes a few hours. It would take CIA or highly skilled hacker abilities to dig out any information.
Once you wipe the disc, reinstall OSX. You're done.

HT201250 which external hard drive should I choose/use as I am setting up Time Machine on my MacBook Pro 15 for the very first time?

Which external hard drive should I use/choose as I am setting up Time Machine on my MacBook Pro 15 for the very first time?

Any of these SATA HDDs that are at least the same size as your internal HDD (preferably larger capacity). In addition you will need an enclosure, preferably one with a Firewire as well as a USB connection.

Hello John...
You may have a Safari third party add on installed that was compatible with the previous version of Safari but not 5.1. Try troubleshooting > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
FYI... this is a user to user forum. If you can't resolve the issue, information for contacting AppleCare here.

My early 2011 MBP 13" does not recognize my Sandisk 16GB 45MB/s Extreme Pro SDHC card. I went to the Genius Bar and we tried it in all the MacBook Pro's in the Apple Store and NONE could recognize the card. However, iMacs did. Any suggestions?

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters

After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters at university. I don't play computer games and I don't watch movies. I do store photos and videos of my kids and music on iTunes. I also like browsing the net with numerous windows open, check email etc. I am really wanting long battery life as I do a lot of my work on the couch - not close to a PowerPoint. Would the air do the trick or will it soon be outdated as Apple move towards retina display? Both air and pro seem very thin - almost the same? And not much difference in weight either so both very portable which is also a necessary requirement. Just can't help dreaming about that 12 hour claimed battery life. Any helpful advice/opinions, very much appreciated. Thanks

It's not likely that you'll get 12 hours in reql life. Those benchmarks are set under very strict controlled conditions. Kind of like mileage per gallon claims on cars. If 16GB of ram is an option at all I'd highly recommend you get that. As far as storage 256GB isn't alot, consider storing some things on an external thunderbolt real

Does the Macbook pro retina have the ability to use external speakers

Does the Macbook pro retina have the ability to use external speakers

The speakers will have to be externally powered and have internal amplifiers. Is that the case?

I have installed FCE on my macbook and on my desktop. Then I accidentally migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the product serial number. How can I stop this happening?

I installed Final Cut Epxress 4 on my laptop and my macbook and then accidentally also migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the software serial number. I enter the number which is then rejetced as it's already been used twice. FCE launches anyway as the licence info had already been written to my hard drive when I first installed FCE. How can I stop it asking for the serial nmber every time I open FCE?

You need to uninstall FCE from you Macbook and then reinstall it.
If you are not familiar with the process, FCS Remover is an app that can uninstall FCE for you.

I downloaded mountain lion on my laptop. Do I need to do the same on my Desktop and iPad or is the one download good for all 3, and how do I do that if it is?

I downloaded mountain lion on my laptop. Do I need to do the same on my Desktop and iPad or is the one download good for all 3, and how do I do that if it is?

If your desktop computer is one that supports Mountain Lion, you can either download it there or make a bootable jump drive with the installer on it -- assuming you haven't yet used the installer you downloaded to your laptop.
As for the iPad, it doesn't use the same OS as the Macs do; it uses iOS versions, so Mountain Lion won't work there.

Not if it's not the original computer you registered it on.

How can I choose the built-in mic of the Macbook Pro instead of the headphones' mic?

I have some headphones with a built-in microphone connected to the Macbook Pro, but I would like to use the microphone of the Macbook Pro instead of the headphones' one. If I go to System Preferences > Sound > Input, I can choose between 'External microphone' and 'Line in', but none of them take the sound from the Macbook Pro's microphone.

Go to System Preferences on that click sound icon select input chose which mic you want
