(my name's) MacBook Pro (2) at login... what is the (2)?
A few days ago my MacBook Pro froze and I had to force it to shut down. The next time (and all subsequent times) I've turned on my computer to login, as the username is shows (My name's) MacBook Pro (2). The (2) is new... what does it mean? Is there a problem with my computer? How do I fix it?
I think it's a problem with 10.5. My MBP did that occasionally after connecting to our home network after using the MBP on other networks. Since upgrading to 10.6, I've not seen it recur.
There is one thing that helped me before upgrading the OS. Are you using the wireless feature? If so, do System Preferences > Network and select the Airport card from the left pane. Then click the "Advanced...." button. The first tab in the resulting window should be "Airport." Look at the "Preferred Networks" pane.
It's likely cluttered with a lot of old networks from travels and form otherwise using the computer in cafes, etc. Delete any networks you do not use at least weekly. For example: leave your home network, the one at work, and the one for your favorite coffee shop and get rid of the others. To keep new acquisitions from building up, uncheck "Remember networks this computer has joined," or simply remember to clean out networks occasionally.
This does not affect your ability to join new networks later.

I'm looking at purchase a ipad2 3G/wifi and I was wondering can I transfer DVDs (from a TV series for instance) from my Macbook pro. If so what is the best software. I already have Popcorn and Titanium toast. Thanks
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, I DOWNLOADED HANDBRAKE BUT WOULDN'T LET ME USE IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE VLC WHICH I DID. WHEN I FINALLY GOT HANDBRAKE TO WORK I SELECTED THE DVD FOR SOURCE AND IT STARTED SCANNING. A HALF HOUR LATER IT SAID NOT RECOGNISE SOURCE. TAKE IT IS ENCRYPTED.

How can i get my macbook pro to automatically login and open the server
I apologize if this question has been asked before. I am new to MAC and know almost nothing about configuring them.
I have a windows server 2003 that I am networked with. When I boot my Macbook Pro I have to manually connect to the server. How can I make my laptop do this automatically?Add it in the Users & Groups, Login Items area.

My Apple Macbook Pro Keeps Randomly Restarting, What's the issue and how do I fix it?
My Macbook Pro keeps spontaneously restarting. I thought the issue was the bad battery, so I replaced it. Even with the new battery I'm having this issue.

My macbook pro keeps rebooting. What is the problem?
Hi,
I have a macbook pro that I bought in August 2010. Performance has been awesome until this past month when I noticed it getting slower. This past weekend for the first time ever it would freeze and reboot itself. I took the action to clean up large files, unloaded some apps, etc. all things they say to speed up your mac in the youtube vids. Cleared up alot of space and it was moving faster for a day. Then this afternoon it froze again and rebooted, but never successfully rebooted and now is just rebooting constantly. I cannot even get to the log in screen anymore or turn it off completely....I am going to wait for the battery to die out, but what is the problem? What can I do to solve this? I downloaded the newest IOS X update this past saturday, thats when I think the rebooting started, but the computer was getting noticeably slower before that.
Thanks for the help, really dont know what I am doing hereTime to see about the PRAM battery.
By the way iOS and OS X are different systems.
iOS is the operating system for iPads, iPhones, and iPod touch.
Mac OS X is the operating system for Mac labelled computers. -
I want to charge my macbook pro in my campervan,what is the best way
when i go travelling i want to charge my macbook pro on the move,not noticed a in car charger,although i have seen a in plane charger,is there any difference between my swift kontiki and a boeing 747.
ianApple's Airline adapter is designed for the apx 15V DC of airlines to NOT charge the computer's battery, rather to slowdown the battery discharge and extend the use of the computer. It also works in vehicles with 12V DV although it's not as strong as the 15V on airplanes.
So that means you need a fully charged battery before you use the Airline Adapter.
To CHARGE your battery your going to have to use the powerbrick adapter for household current on a house hold current outlet, that's in most cases the only thing strong enough to push the electrons back into the battery.
DO NOT USE step up transformer devices that tap off the vehicles 12V up to 110v and then use the Mac's powerbrick to attempt to charge the laptop, it WILL PROBABLY FRY YOUR VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM as most vehicles are not designed for that purpose to draw that much current. Most are just strong enough to power the car, the lights, charge the battery and your light your cigarette.
Unless you specially know it can handle it, like big RV's and boats have large appliances powered by the engines 12V system, likely the engine will have to be running all the time to produce that much power to feed the power needs of the converter and the powerbrick to charge the battery.
IF you had a portable generator that could produce enough watts to power a small air conditioner, then you could use the 12v DC to 110v AC converter and the Mac's powerbrick to charge the battery. But most generators of that capability already have built in 110v convertors.
Now there is another option, because the MBP uses DC and the 12V is DC you can use a adpater to convert one to the other, no step up or down needed, so you wouldn't need such a strong source of DC current to use the 110v converter.
Unfortunatly Apple's MagSafe connector is proprietary and patented technology and Apple doesn't want anyone using it. So your stuck either splcing in a MagSafe or using a bootleg charger out of China someplace with no recourse if it fries your Mac.

MacBook Pro Freezes in Login Screen
Hello,
I've encountered a strange error on my 08 MBP (Should not be hardware related). When my computer boots up and gets to the login screen, it simply stops. Mouse clicks and key hits (either onboard or USB devices) do not appear to register, as nothing happens when I do either of these, but I can however move the cursor around freely. Same result in safe boot.
I've checked hardware out via Hardware Test and such, and everything checks out fine. Verbose Boot just goes right on through without stopping. I've connected the computer as a FW drive and pulled the system logs, where I get the following:

Yesterday, I did install MathType. Could this be causing the problem, which I assume is being cause by a font error? If so, how does a font prevent me from using my computer? I would like to resolve this without needing to reinstall OS, as I just did that 7 days ago due to HD failure, which I am still working on recovering preferences, etc. from.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Then I would mount the hard drive and delete caches in /Library/Caches and /System/Library/Caches and probably caches in /private/var/db/dyld
If your not sure use these commands, but be careful make sure your in the correct directory by running ls to list the contents or pwd to see what directory your in. Running rm -rf will force deletion of everything in that directory using * :
cd /Library/Caches
rm -rf *
cd /System/Library/Caches
rm -rf *
cd /private/var/db/dyld
rm -rf *
If all else fails you can always throw the Snow Leopard CD in and reinstall the OS. It shouldn't hurt your files any in your profile. Snow Leopard is pretty much dummy proof when reinstalling.
Of use a third party utility like Disk Warrior or something to maybe fix an error. Could try Tech Tool Pro you get with Applecare as well, but I haven't used that in years. Not sure what it does now. -
I'm now on another fresh OS reinstall which reverted back to the OEM Mountain Lion 10.8.4 after an upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 When I first thought that the failed OS X upgrade could have been the caused by some conflicting networking settings that I discovered in System Preferences. I tried to match the computer name which I gave at setup which the File Sharing section users i.e. name's-macbook-pro.local with the WORKGROUP name which is generated in the System Preferences/Network Preferences/Advanced WINS section uses MACBOOKPRO-****.
However I am not using a Windows PC at the moment and don't expect to be sharing with anyone else using one so I'm a touch uneasy seeing these SMB WORKGROUP settings being established by the System and realising that these settings are not allowing the Administrator user (me) override as. If I do unlock my Networking Preferences settings to edit the WINS WORKGROUP name which is automatically generated as "MACBOOKPRO-****" whatever I enter reverts back to the settings the System has chosen, if I delete this generated name the default System WORKGROP name is reset even after pressing 'Apply' and locking the Networking Preferences again.
The symptoms which make me uneasy are random visibility of a sharing server named as the first half of my Wi-Fi routers SSID ie: BTHub5 not the random letters and numbers that follow BTHub5-****.
Problems setting up Lexmark and Epson printers. Suggested update from AppStore for Remote Desktop Client, I never purchased Remote Desktop but can see that there is a folder Remote Desktop Management in System/Core Services.
Unexpected permission changes appearing all over the System, example being that the user group 'Wheel' changing to 'Staff' I don't employ people and don't want or need filesharing with other computers.
Lots of System crash reports that mostly are listed as 'Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)'
Is any of this normal or am I being stalked by a very persistent user? Thanks in advance for any tips you guys can give me.

Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything. When I click on some icon or in the menu, no happens.
After a long time (more than 1 hour), I decide to switch off my Mac holding the button down and when I boot and log in again, it works normally.
Remark: When I logoff, I do not ask to keep my open programs for the next session.

My time machine won't back up....The message reads : The backup disc image"/volumes/(my name)'s time capsule/(my name)'s macbook pro. sparsebundle" is already in use........I'm not using anything else that I know of.....?.......Help!

I use OS X server for maintaing Time Machine backups for several macs
Ah, that's a new wrinkle to me. I haven't tested the Server product, but there are a number of differences. As far as I can tell, the firmware update solved this for most, but not all, users of standard OSX.
Are you still on Snow Leopard server? It's quite different from later versions, I understand.
Have you tried selecting the base station, then Base Station > Restart via Aiport Utility's menubar? That still disconnects everyone, but might work by itself.
Otherwise, sorry, but I'm out of my comfort zone.
Hopefully one of the networking gurus will have an idea or two. -
Macbook Pro won't login after sleep (sleep with low battery --> mac turned off maybe it's called save sleep)
So if I hit the powerbutton my mbp booted like it is booting from the save sleep (so very fast and the login screen is there in about 10 sec.and there is no apple logo while booting just the desktop screen in "unsharp" ore foggy however...)
Then when i see the login (if the keyboard backlight turned on) i wand do tipe in my code but it won't work... the trackpad is not working; and when i plug-in a usb mouse the mbp is not powering on the usb-mouse (laser is off)
Why is that this way?
Is there n option to wake up the mbp fromm deep/save sleep without haveing issiues after that?
THXSorry for such a long delayed response...
I was able to get to an apple store this past weekend, and let me tell you... I'm about finished with there great "support".
Right before I went to the store, I tried to eject a disk. Well the cloth in the SuperDrive (I assume to protect the drive from dust and such) Pulled up with my disk. So I get the Apple store, describe my problem and what happened with the cloth piece. The "Genius" writes up a form and tells me they have to run diagnostic and it will take a couple days... and I will get a call when its done (1-3 days).
Well on day number 3 I called up the store and they told me it was ready to be picked up? I asked if anything had been fixed and they told me they could not reproduce my "sleep issue", so they couldn't fix that.. but told me the cloth piece in the SuperDrive had been fixed.
I drive an hour (one way) to the Apple store to find that all they did was PULLED OUT the cloth... they did not replace it! So basically I have a hole for a Super Drive.
I asked why I was not called to say that my computer was ready to be picked up... didn't get an answer on that one.
I asked why my SuperDrive was said to be fixed, when nothing was done... they told me that it would have to be sent out to the factory store for that to be fixed (FIRST TIME THEY MENTIONED THAT!) Oh, and that would take 5-7 business days. Well that's not going to happen right now considering I'm a college student that NEEDS a working computer!
So I go home, angry... start just putting all my important documents back on the computer. And the screen starts blinking!!!! I guess now I have the same thing described in another post on these forms...
Lets just say that I'm not very happy with Apple right now! If anybody else has success on either the sleep issue or the screen blinking issue, please let me know!
Thank you! -
So on my MacBook Pro, a friend tried signing into the guest account. It's been stuck on the loading screen for 3 days and hasn't let me cancel the request and login to the original account. What can I do?
Hold the power button down for 10 seconds. It will power down your Mac. You can then start it up again and see if you can log in normally.

How can I restart my Macbook Pro if I can't remember the computer's name at start-up? I do remember the pass word.
Restart the computer with the Command and S keys held down and run:
ls -l /Users/
exit
By default, the first command will return a Shared entry and one with an username on it. Supply that username.

When I turn on my MacBook Pro and when I am at the login screen, the background is white rather than steel gray. What is wrong and how can I fix it?
It turns out that iCloud caused this issue. When I turned iCloud off my login screen was completely normal.
