Is there anyway I can start my computer without a password

Before Os x, I could open the lid of the computer and it would start. Now in microscopic text it asks for a password. Is there any way to not ask for a password.

On Yosemite you can log in using Apple ID if you should choose to, also in system preferences via Users and Groups section. Automatic Login enable by turning on

    You need Mac App Store to download OS X, and it's only in Macs, so you have to download 10.8 in the MacBook

    No. There is zero support to watch from a USB. The only thing it supports is how you've used it, import, watch, delete.
    You could look into something like the seagate goflex, which is a portable harddrive that is also a wifi transmitter that you can hook your iPad up to and use to stream from the drive to your iPad.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Guys I have had my macbook air 2011 model stolen this afternoon. I have the serial number, the airport ID and the bluetooth ID. Is there anyway I can track my computer?

    Basically is there anyway to find my computer using the interweb? I don;t think I have any expensive software installed.

    I'm afraid that Kappy's answer is rather complete on the subject. The Mac's wouldn't need the functionality of "Find My Mac", if there were alternate means available without it. Yes, there are alternatives to "Find My Mac", but all them reguire the user to setup the software for the device's ability to be tracked.
    If there were another way to track a Mac without owner/user interaction, then the means would be considered a security flaw.
    Even Find My Mac is not without issue. The unit's location can only be determined if the thief/possessor connnects the unit to the internet. Therefore, in addtion to being dependent on prior user setup, the thief himself must participate in a specific manner.

  • Is there anyway I can sync a playlist without having to sync all my songs?

    I just want to add the recently added smart playlist to my iPhone but I do not want to have to sync all my songs because I have not had good luck with doing that.

    Hey booo55,
    Great question. You can choose to sync selected playlists to your iPhone instead of the entire music library. For more information on doing so, check out this resource:

  • TS2446 Is there anyway I can get it back without having to change my password?

    Hi!!
        I recently bought an ipad mini for my daughter but I forgot my security questions and I got imy account locked.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support.

  • My iPod and iPhone are connected by the same Apple ID and I've forgotten my pass code to my iPod, is there anyway I can get into it without having to delete anything?

    I really need to find a way to get into my iPod without having to delete anything. (Note: my home button and power button don't work and I haven't synced anything at all)

    No. You have to restore and thus erase the iPod. You have to options:
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    - Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both

    You need to transfer the music from your iPod on to your iTunes library on your PC, since that is where you are currently syncing and where you are signed into iTunes Match.  It doesn't matter that you were previously syncing it with a Mac, and you won't need to reinstall iTunes on your PC.  But you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer any music not purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library.  Here's another guide on this, which is shoter and you may find easier to follow: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive.  Also, if you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar.  This will make it easier to follow along with these guides.
