Mac book pro settings keep resetting

Hi, I am in need of anyone that can help me with my situation.
About two days ago, when I booted up my Macbook pro, all the settings would have been resetted (dock is full of apps that I removed, exposes resetted etc).
Whenever I would set up all the settings to how I had it, it would still keep resetting every single time I turned the computer on and off.
Just yesterday, my Macbook also started becoming incredibly slow. The first time I boot it up, the screen would always freeze but I could still move my cursor with the spinning wheel. It requires me to manually press the power button to turn it on and off, sometimes twice.
Please can anyone help me?

Is your data backed up? If not, you may need to do a data recovery.
If your machine is under 4 years old, resetting the PRAM can help.
If your machine is older than four years, the PRAM battery may need replacing.
If your data is backed up, and resetting the PRAM hasn't helped, getting Alsoft Disk Warrior may work, if "Repair Disk" won't work by booting either the disc that came with the computer and running Disk Utility from the Utilities menu of the installer, or Disk Utility from the command-R boot sequence available on Macs with 10.7 or later installed.

Can't update new Mac book pro with iPhoto 9.3.4. Any suggestions? Keeps saying an error has occurred.

Try using this updater manually: iPhoto 9.4.3
Or if you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

What does the VCRAM do and what will it do to my Mac Book Pro if I reset it? (Easy-to-understand information please!)

(Easy-to-understand information please!)

See -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379.
NVRAM is "non-volatile RAM" in which some system preferences are set. Resetting NVRAM will take you back to Apple's default settings for things like start-up drive, etc. Resetting NVRAM can sometimes solve some mysterious problems with your battery, screen resolution and a host of other settings. You needn't worry about 'losing' anything if you reset your NVRAM - and it could solve some problems.
Good luck,

How to open a zip file of photos on Mac Book Pro when it cannot find or fix alias

I do a home photo editing business. One of a my clients sent me a disc that she zipped to compress because there were a lot of pictures on it. When I try to open it on my Mac Book Pro I keep getting an error message that it cannot find alias and what program do I want to use to open it. It also gives me an option to "fix alias" but it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I open zip files on my Mac Book Pro? I should probably mention that the client also uses a Mac Book Pro and her pictures were in her iPhoto before she zipped them on a disc.
Thanks for your help!!!

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

Mac book pro keyboard light

how can I turn on the keyboard light on a mac book pro and keep it on all the time? the unlit keyboard is barely visible to me, thanks

Hi ddley: I agree the keyboard lettering is very difficult to see in certain light conditions. I came across this little program http://labtick.proculo.de/ to help out. It makes a world of difference for those of us that still have to look at the keyboard.

Backup any data you deem important. Insert the installer DVD that came with your MacBook. Restart the laptop and hold down the 'C' key. Progress past the language selection screen until you get to the second screen. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu. Click on the topmost icon in the left hand side bar, click on the Partition tab. Select 1 Partition and select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for the format. Now click Apply. This will erase everything on that drive. When it's done quit out of Disk Utility which should take you back to the Installer Assistant. Follow the on-screen prompts to re-install the Operating System.
HTH?

My daughter reset her Mac book Pro to the factory settings by her doing this did we loose all the pictures and stuff that was on the computer before

If by resetting to factory settings you mean she erased the drive and reinstalled the operating system, OS X, then yes all data thatwas on it is gone. That is why apple included time machine so you can make backups of your data.

I can see my folders by clicking the X next to my name on the Inbox Folder. So I have my folders now, just cannot see them in the left colum or see multiple windows on Outlook. At this point, I can use the folders, just with limited functionality. Thanks -Gina

As Terence said you're experiencing a kernel panic. Boot into your System install disk and launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection window. Repair the disk. If DU finds problems and runs repairs do it a second time and then reboot.

Adobe slowed down after running fine on a Mac Book Pro Photoshop settings have been reset

adobe slowed down after running fine on a Mac Book Pro.   Adobe Settings have been Reset

Hello Gener7,
     I did try everything on the FAQ page (all steps) I also did them a few more times with "Adobe help" walking me through 2 more times. I just don't get it, I have been on with Adobe on some days up to 5 hours at a time for over a month now. I think it must be something with the installation disc but they say no, no, switchboard is just not working on my OS X 10.9.4. I even took the computer into the apple store here and had them look it over, reinstall everything and they say it's the Adobe software.
     Thank you very much for your help, it's nice to know someone is reading this :-) I do work around this by saving the files and reopening them in the next program I need but everyone in class is always waiting on me, (it sucks) and I just think it should work. Hope you have a good day and I will put an update on here if this is ever figured out.
Thanks one more time :-)

Problems after trying to reset Mac book pro

I was reseting my Mac book pro to factory settings and the hard drive is missing the Mac HD. How do I fix that?

You would reboot while holding down Command + R, first use Disk Utility to erase the volume, then reinstall OS X. Much faster if you connect to the Internet using ethernet than WiFi, but for a retina that would require a thunderbolt to ethernet cable.

My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone? I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

I changed my apple id and my password for it too. but on my ipod and mac book pro my old apple id keeps showing up and i it doesn't except any password. what should i do??

I NEED HELP!!!!!!
i changed my apple id and my password (for the apple id), but on my ipod and mac book pro my old apple id keeps showing up for icloud, and i cant put either password!!! Trust me i tried.. What should i do???? So please help!!!!!!

On your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
If you're running iOS 7 on your iPod and old ID is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
