Lock for my Pro that won't beat up the Security Slot

I have been looking for a lock for my MacBook Pro. But all the ones I find, based from reviews, tear and beat up the security slot. I have found a lock that connects via the DVI screw slot, but it was out of my price range. If anyone has bought a lock that doesn't tear and beat up their security, plase tell me about it.

Other security measures:
MicroSaver® Alarmed Lock

    As long as the backup on your external drive is fine, it will restore your Mac to exactly how it was on the date of that particular backup, all data included. I have used it before and have retained all data from the date of the backup.

  • I have a 2009 MacBook Pro that won't connect to the Internet at my university while everyone is able to. How do I fix this?

    My roommate has the same laptop as me and she connected perfect fine. I also was here last semester and I could connect with no problems at all. I came back to school this semester and suddenly I keep getting the exclamation mark saying I'm not connected. I'm also connected to the Internet on my iPad right now so I know it works. How do I fix this? Please help!

    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

  • How can I erase the data on my 2009 macbook pro that won't turn on because of a faulty motherboard? Do I just remove the hard drive, install it in a working mac, and erase it that way?

    You put the internal drive in an enclosure. If you choose to keep the drive, you don't need to erase it.

  • TS1363 What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either?

    What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either? I can simply unplug it from my pc and after a while it runs down and works fine after a charge. Wanting to clear data and sell but nothing seems to work. The ipod was originally set up on a different computer and with a different I tunes account as well. Would that make any difference?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    I have a Macbook Pro that was slowing down. The HD was nearly full as I do a video work. I removed over 400gb of photos and video and it made no difference. I ran disk inventory x and that says that there is only 60gb on the hard drive but disk utility says there is still 430gb on the HD. How do I remove what DU says is still there.

    You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed.

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

    My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

    Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
    *Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
    It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    So do not rely on it.<br />
    If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

    Is there a performance difference between GPT and MBR? If GPT is better, I do not mind formatting the drive with it.

    I read through this, and it looks like the problem was fixed in a BIOS update, which I plan to do. However, it also seems like Intel Rapid Start is not even worth it in the first place, as sleep consumes almost no power at all.

  • Anyone else having background apps as a black screen tab that won't close? The time and AT

    Has anyone been having apps in the background that won't close? The tab that normally swiping up to close the app won't work and stays as a blank black screen showing the time, signal strength , and cell carrier at the top, but nothing else. I can't keep shutting my phone down all day to make this stop. Please help if you know why this happens and/or how to stop it or close the app

    Don't mix AWT and Swing widgets. Fix that, then ask again, preferably in the Swing section.

  • HT3799 I want to install Adobe Reader for an attachment that I cannot open.  The Keychain comes up with password.  I forgot my password how do I retrieve it?

    I want to install Adobe Reader for an attachment that I cannot open.  The Keychain comes up with password.  I forgot my password how do I retrieve it?

    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
