Mac Book Pro is addressing my emails instead of my name?
I recently had a computer restore and exchange and since then all my emails are addressed as Macbook Pro even though there is no contact in my address book under Macbook Pro with my email? How do i remove this from my emails?
Your first choice is to go to System Preferences>Displays>Color. Make sure that your profile set is the appropriate one for the MacBook Pro, which should be "Color LCD".
I'm going to skip all of the normal suggestions of resetting this and that, because from what I've researched this in the past, and it appears you have an issue with either the graphics chip (low probability) or a worn cable causing one of the color channels to be bad or your LED screen has a problem.
In other words, it's probably hardware related.

How do I turn the colors back to the original colors that came on the MacBook. Somehow all of my colors look to be disorganized for instance blue is gold etc. I am not sure how this happened but I really would like it fixed any suggestions?

I dont have time machine set up!!! how I can start in normal mode?
ThanksHi there jobe74,
You may want to try resetting the SMC and PRAM on your computer as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

My Mac Book Pro wouldn't start after memory update
I updated my 27" Imac memory up to 16 GB, so I was encouraged to do the same with my Mac Book Pro after watching the video and instructions. However My Mac Book Pro wouldn't start afterwards. It is driving me crazy. Please if someone can help me on this. Thanks
I was trying to install Corsair 8GB (2x 4GB) 1333mhz PC3-10666 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM Laptop Memory Kit CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9; and now I realized that I made a mistake because this Mid 2010 Mac Book Pro uses 1066mhz PC3 8500 instead, so should that be the problem of compatibility? I should guess so, although in my HP Elite I have 800Mhz ddr2 where the bus works at 640 mhz ddr2.
The rest is the same being 204 pin memory cards, etc.
I made this mistake because ordered at the same time this memory along with memory cards for my new 27" iMac, which works at 1333Mhz.
Thankyou again, I will check on if cards are sitting well and if they are PC3 8500 1066 Mhz.... -
I need help to delete my icloud account from my iPad. It has "Find my iPad" on it and won't let me delete without the old password. I don't want to reset password as it will require reset of Mac Book Pro and 2 iphones. Help appreciated.

Your description of the problem is a bit confusing. Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE? -
Hello,
So I have all the devices but my i get some email on the ipad some on the iphone and some on the mac book pro.
How do i sync it all together so i can see i already read and responded to the different emails?
Also how do i sync all of my calendars?If your work email is not an iCloud email address (i.e. @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com) then you'll have to ask the provider of your work email account how to configure it as IMAP on all your devices/computers.
If your work email is an iCloud address, and for syncing Calendars via iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instruction at the link below on all your devices/computers:

we have a router at home that is supposed to support 10 devices but when i try to connect my mac book pro it says another device is using my computer's ip address
Are the IP addresses statically assigned (wrong ), or does the router give them out using DHCP (right )?

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?
First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -
How can I use my external hard drive for my iphoto instead of my mac book pro memory?
i don't know if this question has been asked before: how can I use my external hard drive for my iphoto instead of my mac book pro memory? just like itunes all my song are save on my external hard drive. make sense?
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

I clicked on a link in an email that may be spam/phishing. How can I scan my mac book pro for viruses?
You can just download the free ClamXav and scan your entire drive - but as there are no known viruses for OS X (although there is malware - see Thomas Reed's excellent Mac Malware Guide) it's very unlikely that you have a virus.
The best source against malware is OS X itself and common sense. Don't click on links in suspicious emails and be careful of anything that wants to install something on your computer that is not from a reputable source.

How do I stop my new Mac book Pro from opening all my old emails and flashing them in the upper right.
Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661 -
My older mac book pro and iMac are both running 10.6.8 and both have started running safari and email VERY slowly. My new mac book pro running 10.9 is having no issues. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
No noticeable speed differences running the four latest OSs on my machine.

While looking at web pages like ebay. When i click on a item to look at,then click on the previous page or swipe back to the first page the page will start at the top of the page instead of going to the item that i was looking at. My mac book pro will go back to the item that i was looking at but my mac mini goes to the top of the page. Do i have a setting wrong?
What browser are you using?
What OSX on Mini and on MacBook? -
