On the mac book do you have to close out apps or things that you have opened like the iPhone or iPad?

I am new to the mac book i only have an iphone and ipad and i wasnt sure if you have to close all things out like you would do for an iphone or ipad? i am trying to download the adobe flash but it keeps telling me to close safari and i did then when i go back to it it still keeps telling to close safari am i doing something wrong?

You do not have to quit your apps when you shut down your MB. If you do not shut them down, all the apps that are open when you shut down will reopen when you next power up.
The question of installing flash is a different issue. After you download anything that is to be installed in Safari, you have to quit Safari before running the installer.

My husband and I have the same Apple ID number so that we can both have access to an app we use. I don't like the fact that our calendar, notes and email is also shared. Is there a way to separate the things we want separate yet keep access to the cloud

My husband and I share the same Apple ID number because we both need access to an app that has a subscription and would be expensive for us to do separately. We don't like that this shared ID number means we also share our calendar, note pages, email, etc....Is there a way to separate the things we don't want to share?

That would be my suggestion. Just keep using the common one for purchases in the stores. Then each get another AppleID using a free gmail, AOL, hotmail, MS Live or whatever email account.
Delete your current iCloud account and login with the new AppleID, and logout of Messaging and then backin with the new AppleID. Now you have a shared iTunes/App store account, but completely separate, independent iCloud and iMessage accounts.
You can still share calendars if you wish to, even across separate accounts - http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2690

I have a movie site app banner ad that I cannot delete from my IPhone 5 Safari page. I appears every time I open Safari. Any suggestions.

I have a movie site banner ad that I cannot delete from my IPhone 5 Safari page. It appears every time I open Safari. How can I delete it?

You do not have a virus. Sounds like you are just being bitten by Safari's desire to reopen all windows - and reconnect to all sites that were open in those windows - in Mac OS X 10.7. I believe that if you hold down option (or is it shift?) while opening Safari that it will not try to reload those pages.

I have a new mac book air and my iphoto close automatically because some problem that i couldnt solve...

I don´t know why Iphoto doesn´t works in my new macbook... I open it and few seconds later it close...

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer any kind of a solution. We can't see your computer nor are we mind readers so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Do you recommend the Mac Book Pro?

I am looking to purchase a laptop for my own use (work and personal). I will be editing video, doing photography, and also use it for word processing. Do you recommend the Mac Book Pro 2.4 Ghz? Would there be any compelling reason to invest in the 2.5 Ghz instead? and why?

I assume you intend to get the 15" model?
I can only see 3 advantages of the 2.5 GHz version.
1. Faster processor, but is anyone going to notice that tiny increase ...... it's laughable.
2. Twice as much VRAM but the base model has enough for all the apps in Final Cut Studio 2, so why would you need more unless you are an extremely busy pro .......... but if that were the case you would not be using a laptop. (Cue indignant protests!)
3. 50GB more HD which again is a minute increase. If you are doing video you should ideally keep all your big media files on an external FireWire HD.

Kodak DCS Camera Manager and the Mac Book

Hi,
I am new to this, so please forgive any errors in this post.
I cannot get my Kodak DCS camera manager software to work with my new Mac Book via the Firewire connection. The camera manager software searches for a camera when run but cannot find the camera I have connected to the Mac Book's Firewire port. I am using a new Firewire Cable. I know the camera is Ok because it works fine on our PC Laptops.
Any other photographers come across this problem? Any help greatfully received.
Thanks.
Mac Book Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi All,
As an update to this post, I have been in contact with Kodak regarding the problems outlined in this thread. Kodak confirm that the DCS Pro Camera Manager is not compatible with Intel based Mac's. Kodak also confirm that no further development will be undertaken with the software.
I feel this is a very poor show considereing the cost of the DCS Pro14n camera body bought 3 years ago. I also understand that it is still possible to purchase a Pro 14 camera even though Kodak have stopped production.
This means that photographers could purchase a camera which will not offer the camera manager facilities on the latest Apple equipment. Companies such as Kodak should offer some form of contract with their equipment stating that support will be available for a 6 year period from the date of firat release - a resonable lifetime for such equipment.
As a company we have decided, after contacting Kodak, to replace all Kodak equipment we use with another make and we will not make any further purchases from Kodak in any form.
Again, thank you to all who read and replied to the original post.
Regards,
Mike.

I have a complaint about my mac book pro being slippery. Why do these expensive computers that we as consumers purchase if you set them on a couch slip off no matter where you place them on the couch?

Hi, my Mac Book Pro 15 inch lap top if i set it on the couch no matter where I place it slips off and luckily so far I have caught it before it falls onto the floor and gets ruined, of which I am super afraid of, due to what I initially paid for it as the consumer. Also, the couch is not made of slippery material at all. Also, when using it on my lap while watching tv, and multi tasking while doing my college homework, it even slides off of my lap at times. Why is it called a lap top then when it's not working as one? Are we to wear rubber pants that grip your products? Also, Why do you place on your Apple website that in one area a satin cover is available in the teal color, and then in another area it's discontinued? I believe it would be simpler if Apple would just remove the product all together from the purchasing website once any product becomes discontinued. Also, I was sitting here at home waiting for a reply about the satin cover in teal no longer being available period or that it has shipped, but yet I ended up calling Apple altogether myself and finding this all out that the only available color is the black. It would've been nice to have recieved an e-mail or a phone call on why it wasn't going to be shipped, or shipping instead of having to do customer services job and doing the leg work myself. Also, why is it that no one also even tells a consumer about the classes that were offered to a new consumer for 14 days after purchase of paying the $99.00s to learn about their macs of any kind? If I had known about such a program, I surely would've signed right up for it. Now I am being told that I can only take one clas at a time or something?!? I seriously wish I was told about this as a consumer of the Mac Book Pro 15 inch, because I would've purchased that offer right away, and now I am stuck and can no longer do it. Also I have had my computer since October of last year. So, I am in college as becoming a graphic designer within a degree of an Associates of Science and am now still struggling to learn the computer, and the programs I pruchased as well at the time of purchase, along with an Epson printer, the magic mouse, and the one year warranty. As for this all, I do believe that Apple needs to make a better bottom to the Mac Book Pro's within a much better quality for the price we pay as consumers, and all other lap tops and/or Notebooks in making them slide proof. The tiny rubber spots on the bottom of the lap tops or any Apple computer similar to mine just needs a better quality improvement to us consumers I spent good money on this purchase, I think now I deserve a rubberised protective cover for free for the slipperyness, and also since I was never told about the program for the classes of which a consumer was to pay $99.00s for, I think as a good paying quality consumer for Apple's products, I now deserve these classes for free as well.
Sincerely,
Kim

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

You need to transfer your domain.sites file from your MacBook to your iMac. This is the file where iWeb stores all info and can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Transfer this file from your MacBook to the same place on your iMac and double click the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it on your iMac and you can update your site from there too.

When you plug your iPhone to Mac,click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos".Then iTunes would never delete your original music.
The most easy way to solve your problems is to move your music to your new Mac.Please refer to this article from Apple.com

I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run on OS 10.6.8. with 2 GB RAM, 4 GB better, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

Looks as if you're just at the minimum specs - http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs/. Says 2GB minimum, 4GB recommended. And 2GB of RAM is all the RAM the 1,1 can handle. If I were you I would call Apple's App Store service center - you have the minimum requirements, as I read it, but perhaps you need a faster processor?
I had a 1,1 but sold it when I bought my late 2011 in March of this year - maybe it's time to look at a new machine?

I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro. The mac book does not have 3.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro. The mac book does not have 3.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
& mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?
