Is there a way to put my Macbook Pro into airplane mode?

I am flying tomorrow and I've never brought a computer with me on a plane...is there a way to switch my computer to an airplane mode, like my iPhone does??

Do you use Bluetooth with your MBP regularly - you always have Bluetooth on?
If so, turn Bluetooth and Wi-Fi off being able to turn both off and on via the menu bar.
If you don't use Bluetooth - it is already off, all you need to do is turn Wi-Fi off.

Is there a way to stream my macbook pro audio through itunes to basestation

Hey I love to stream my itunes through the basestation but, is there a way to stream my macbook pros audio so I can hear things playing from my safari or final cut or whatever other program to the speakers in airport??? Thanks

Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil should do just what you want. I use if for streaming things like Slacker and Pandora through my Airport Express. It's not free but it's well worth the price. You can try it out for a few minutes (then the sound degrades) to see if it works for you.

How to put my Macbook Pro in AP mode

When I have a Ethernet connection, I can use Internet Sharing to turn my Macbook Pro into a 802.11n wireless router / access point, but I can't find anyway to do this without sharing the Internet. Since there's no Ad-hoc in 802.11N/Draft-N, this is the only way to do high-speed communication without an actual AP. Anyone has any ideas?

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do. I THINK you are trying to share a wireless Internet connection with other devices, and this can't be done. You can only share a wired connection.
... but then again, maybe you are trying to do something else.

HT3131 Is there a way to clamshell a macbook pro without peripherals?

I got a MacBook Pro from a coworker to make sure that a project works on Mac OS X and would like to not have the lid open all the time to protect it and to save space on my desk. Is there some way to get the machine to not sleep when the lid is closed *without* peripherals?

I had seen that page, but was unsure if there was some other way and couldn't find anything. Also, that page has no reasoning for *why* what I wanted was *technically* impossible (all of my other laptops and netbooks need to be manually suspended) since I'm fine twiddling hidden knobs for such support. Requiring peripherals seemed arbitrary to me since computers are still useful without displays.

Is there a way to put pictures from Whiteboard into photo stream?

It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

Is there any way to wipe my MacBook Pro?

My dad bought me a MacBook Pro from a pawn shop. Everything is under the old owners name and i cant install anything without it. I dont know who the person is so is there any way to wipe my Mac clean?

To see what is installed select About This Mac from the Apple menu. You should see the information in the open panel. To do what you want requires a Snow Leopard DVD:
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Yosemite if you wish.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Is there any way to buy a MacBook Pro in the USA, but with a European plug?

I'm going to get a MacBook Pro from the USA, but I live in Belgium, so I wondered if you could get a plug for Belgium straight from the US, or if you needed an adapter.

Apple retail stores will take cash. But, I would say it is very uncommon, in my experience, in their stores. The sales personal are all set up to deal with credit or debit cards remotely (ie. there are no "checkout" lines, it is all done wirelessly), so dealing with cash is not the normal mode of transaction.
Not many shoppers routinely wander around malls with several thousands of dollars in cash in their pockets (even most "cash" only folks would likely use a debit card, not actual cash)! Plus, since many people get special compensation with their credit cards (not talking points and such, but my VISA card gives me double the manufacturers warranty, as well theft and accidental damage insurance coverage for the first 90 days), even those of us who never carry over a balance still prefer to use the credit card and get the perks (I especially like the insurance, as I have to at least get my expensive item home safely before I can use it).

Is there any way of sharing my Macbook Pro's Wifi connection to iPhone 4 (Not Using iPhone as hotspot for laptop the other way around)

So a nasty smash destroyed both Front & Back of my iPhone 4, and since having them replaced the Wifi signal has been really weak.
I have seen other posts about screen replacement having to be done by going through the antenna, so something could be missing, or done incorrectly during the screen repair. Will definately be taking it back to the shop and finding out if It was put back together properly.
In the meantime I was wondering if it is possible to share my Macbook Pro's Wifi (always full signal in my house) directly to my iPhone either using USB cable or through bluetooth. It's not been too much of a problem but it would be nice to use my iPhone in bedroom using the Macbooks good signal.
Note: The replacement front screen on iPhone has a small gap >1mm between the screen and centre metal casing on the left side just above the Silent/Loud Switch, which can be noticed by light leaking through the gap. The metal casing also still has a small dent between the volume down buttons and silent/loud switch, again nothing drastic 1mm maximum

Here is the start of the setup:
Click on the Wi-Fi Options button and provide the needed info:
Click on the OK button. Now check the Internet Sharing box to turn it all on. If the port box you checked is no longer checked, then uncheck Internet Sharing, check the port box again, then check the Internet Sharing box again.

Is there a way to put music from ipod into computer?

Ok, my problem is that I have not got any trace of music on my computer and my music is on my ipod Classic. It is an 80GB one. I want to know if you can still put new music on it without deleting what is already on it. Or, if there is a way to get the music off it and into the computer. I cannot do the method suggested in this link though http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?locale=en_AU so any help would be appreciated.
If you have a solution if you could e-mail me at: ***********@**********.** (no 'e' after the 'w' as I was a bad speller all those years ago).
Thanks

Is there a way to upgrade a MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display (Model ID:MacBookPro10,1) for thunderbolt 2 capability?

Im just wondering if there is a way to upgrade an older machine to allow thunderbolt 2.
This might be a silly question as I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere.
I may just have to buy a new machine but it would be great if I could just upgrade the one I have.
Any information would be appreciated.

You would have to purchase a new machine in order to gain Thunderbolt 2 capabilities.

Is there a way to put the OS kernel into a full logging mode?

We have a system that's likely suffering from a hardware failure, most likely something like a cracked trace or intermittent connection from a bad solder joint on the motherboard. The system is a 1G G4 iBook (early 2004) and these have been known to suffer from this type of problem. The symptoms are the system will run fine for hours, once in a while even days, and then just lock up forcing the user to have to turn the system off and restart it.
Rather than popping the unit open and start resoldering "suspect" connections hoping that we might just stumble across the right one, I was wondering if there's a way to log kernel activities that might help point us in the right direction. FYI, the unit passes AHT tests, but the problem is very sporadic.
Thanks

The only thing that's likely to help you is a service manual and a person who knows how to use it, but you can download a version of the kernel with debugging symbols included

Is there a way to put a slight delay into hot corner activation?

I have my hot corners set up for Spaces, Expose, DashBoard etc. I find it pretty frustrating that I momentarily invoke a hot corner action every time I go for the Apple menu, or the trash, or something on the far left side of my over-populated dock. It's especially annoying when DashBoard kicks in doing this. I assume Apple made a user selectable delay on spring loaded folders to avert similar frustrations.
Is there some 'defaults write com.apple.blah...' command that fixes this?

I don't know of a delay function, but you can add a modifier key to the activation.
In the System Preferences, while you are setting up that corner for activation, press the modifier key (e.g., shift) then select the function (e.g., spaces). To use it, you'd have to have the modifier key pressed BEFORE you move the mouse to that corner for activation to work.
