My MacBook Pro switches automatically from a program to finder while working. Can anyone make suggestions on how to stop this?
My MacBook Pro will automatically jump from a program (Safari, Excel, etc.) to the Finder window. Can anyone tell me how to stop this?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I need to generate a still shot from from a video I made with my camera. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase that include this feature. Thanks in advance.
For FREE do the following:
When you get to othe part of the video you want a still shot from, put the video on pause.
Take a screen shot: Apple>Shift>4 - which will produce a cross hair so you can manually select which part of the video you want.Check inside either your Applications or Utility folder for an app called Grab. Will do the above with just a single click.
If you still want to purchase software, suggest that you do a Google & MacUpdate search. This way, you can find exactly what you want. -
Hi, when powering up my macbook pro, when the apple symbol appears the screen flashes pink, can anyone advise whats up?
You can try a system reinstall:
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer. -
Can anyone please tell me how to stop email previews from appearing on my screen. I have turned off the preview option in settings on both my ipad and iphone, but they still keep appearing. Thanks
works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1). Try again. with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only. (you cannot get rid of the subject) with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

I recently shut down my MacBook Pro for the first time in a long time. SInce then, everytime i reboot or awake my laptop from sleep, the Mail app opens unprompted causing my computer to slow down incredibly, and some apps to freeze. I have no idea how to stop this or why it even started doing this. Any ideas on how to get it to stop? Thanks!
I have this problem too with my Macbook Air. Mail opens automatically every time my laptop sleeps. I actually just asked about this in my own thread. However, it is not causing my apps to freeze.

I'm not sure if any recent activity spawned this activity but here's what I've done lately that's new...
I booted to the recovery disk and and ran the disk repair utility on my hard drive. Then I ran the RecoveryDiskAssistant to create a bootable USB thumb drive, and then I attempted to create a disk image on an external USB hard drive. About an hour after I started creating the image I aborted the image creation process. Both the MacBook Pro and the external hard drive were very hot.
I was experimenting, attempting to create the disk image file onto an external hard drive that is half the size of my existing main hard drive, and was not sure the image would fit, so aborted the process before it completed once I realized it might be an overnight task. I'm wondering if the heat caused by the intense disk activity may have cooked something on my logic board. Or maybe somethign completely unrelated is the cause, like a recent patch or software update perhaps???
Can anyone help me identify a possible cause of the kernal panics from the two most recent log files attached below?

Thunderbolt Bus:Answering my own question... I did more research and have a theory that my Time Capsule hard drive may be causing the kernal panics due to a disk error. I ran the disk utility to repair the time capsule drive (actually a 3TB Seagate USB drive plugged into my Airport Extreme router). I plugged the drive directly into my MacBook Pro and ran the repair utility. It noticed a "minor header" issue and repaired it. I'm leaving all USB and Firewire devices unplugged for a while and will see if the panics return. Six years without any problem with my MacBook. Love Apple. I'd get a new MacBook, but this one just keeps on working...

Macbook Pro 2014 (16gb ram) running very slow in excel. Can anyone help?
My Macbook Pro 2014 is running extremely slow in Mac Excel 2011. I just recently made the purchase (Last week) to upgrade from my Macbook Pro 2013. The upgrade was for work as I handle large spreadsheets in my new role. It would take some time to load before, and I was told it was because I only had 4GB of RAM. Now, I have 16 GB of RAM and it runs slower than before. Can anyone assist me with a solution?

I have a 17-inch MacBook Pro with a destroyed screen. (My son put it on the top of his car and drove off and it fell off.) Can anyone tell me the keystrokes to make an external monitor the primary monitor? I can see only the upper left side of the laptop screen so I CAN select system preferences. I can then arrow over to system preferences and down to make selections I cannot see. I don't know then what to do or IF I can make the choices needed to make the external monitor primary when all I can do is make keystrokes on items I cannot see. It's an older (about 2008) MacBook Pro and I would like to use the external monitor to see to connect an external hard drive and download files to install on a new MacBook. My son might know the iOS but I don't.
• I don't know then what to do or IF I can make the choices needed to make the external monitor primary
This is the left side of System Preferences in OS 10.8.3. (if that is not what the MBP is running post back). By the way, if you can grab the top of that pane you could move it over to the top far left. - Same for any pane.
Do this with the external monitor connected and powered on.
You need to click on Displays., and then grope for Arrangement and click there.
When you get there, the two screens are shown.
The trick is to grab the white stripe (on the left in this image) and move it to the other rectangle. You do not have to position it exactly, it snaps into place when it gets close. -
I have a macbook pro which I purchased last november. It works perfect except the images I have in powerpoint do not get displayed clearly.
What is the model identifier for the MacBook Pro? Do NOT give us the serial number.

My MacBook Pro keeps freezing and has become very slow...can anyone help???
Please can anyone help.....this past month my MacBook Pro keeps freezing and showing the beach ball....its also become very slow.
I still have lots of memory.
But this message is showing when i go to applications- utilities and console...

kernel
disk0s2: I/O error.
does anyone know what this means and how can I fix it?
It seems to freeze more when I use the finger pad to move the mouse?
Its becoming very annoying especially when I'm trying to watch a programme on bbc iplayer.
Many ThanksYour hard disk is failing and requires replacement. Replacement is not terribly expensive and can be performed by someone sufficiently adept with computer repair. If that's not you, an Apple Store can perform the replacement.
Back up your data ASAP. -

Not sure on the iPad, but I think there's an App for that. -
can somebody help me as I need this software for uni and as a student cannot afford to purchase a new one !
You should have invested in another Windows machine if your intention was to continue to use CS5.5. Platform swaps are only supported for the most recent release which is currently CS6. You can confirm this by reviewing the policy thru the following link:

My macbook pro keeps flashing green lines across the screen then freezing, can anyone help?
Back in December my macbook started doing this thing quite regularly where it would flash black or green lines all across the screen, for maybe half a second, then the screen would freeze, so I would power it down manually then back on again. I took it into a store and paid a lot of money for them to "fix" it, but when I got it back it was still doing it. I just recently took it in to a different store and the guy said he couldn't reproduce the problem, but replaced the RAM and gave it back to me. Within a day of having it back the same thing happened, twice. At this point I'm not sure what to do, the money I spent on "fixing" it could almost have bought me a new one. The most recent time I shut it off, when it was turning back on it stopped on the grey screen with the apple and started making a continuous beeping sound, which I took a video of. Does anybody know why any of this is happening??
Hi Were you using the apple store for the repairs you had done? As to the point of taking in to a store to have it repaired and getting it back with the same problem. It should have been taken back to the same store as they have to stand behind what they do. You do not say what they repaired. The store replacing ram without knowing what the problem is ,is questionable. If you are going to change ram for the original apple installed ram, you need to make sure it is compatible with your MBP. One of the best sources for this is Macsales.com. As to the Beeping sounds here is a link on it. You do not say if this is one continuing beep or more than one repeating itself.http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202768

I had my iphone from France and now days I am in India. Can anyone please suggest me, how i can unlock its country lock to operate it using Indian carriers.
Only the carrier your phone was locked to in France can authorize the official unlocking of your phone. So contact them as to cost/procedure.

Have you tried changing the order in Network Preferences pane?
Open System Preferences/Networks/Click the gear symbol under the service list. Select set service order then drag. If your wifi is above the ethernet move the ethernet to the top. Click ok. Click apply (bottom left) and test.
Hope this helps

Minimum number of users to warrant a branch office server
I'd suggest that it's nothing to do with the number of users, but rather what type and amount of work is going on. It could also be affected by a number of other issues; the speed of available Internet connection, how much support you have to provide
