Why do I have to ask my MacBook pro 13" i7 to sync with my Apple Mouse at Start Up?

I've had my 13" MacBook Pro i7 for two days and have noticed that I have to go to the Preferences Panel to and ask the for the Bluetooth Apple mouse to be synced every time I start the laptop. I've never experienced this before with a Mac. I see nothing in preferences that addresses automatic syncing at startup.
What am I missing?

Got it. Had to make it a favorite in the Bluetooth preferences. Clicked on the gear symbol in the bottom left corner and made it a favorite.

MACbook Pro/Bluetooth?Disconnect issues with an Apple mouse and keyboard

Well Folks-
The disconnect issue I have with my Macbook Pro using a wireless Apple Keyboard and mouse is BACK. I wiped the hard drive clean and I reinstalled and I updated the O.S. system including purchasiing Lion via the ineternet one by one and the disconnect issue has retuned on Day 4. What else is there left to do? Anyone?

Hi....
Might be corrupted Bluetooth preferences (.plist)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
See if that helped. You may need to re, "pair" your devices and the Mac OS X will re geneate a new .plist file for you.
Make sure the batteries are fresh also.

Why do i have to wait 90 days to download music I bought with another apple ID?

My iphone 5 is now linked to a 'business' Apple ID. I would like to change that to a personal apple Id that i used to purchase many songs. I did change the apple ID but when I turned on 'automatic downloads' for music, a message appeared saying: 'This device is already associated with an apple ID. If you turn on auto-downloads, you cannot download past purchases with a different apple ID for 90 days'.
Why do i have to wait 90 days to use music i bought with another apple ID? Is there another way to do this so that I don't have to wait 90 days?
Thanks

No. There is no getting around this limitation.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities 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. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

I have bought a new macbook pro 13 retina. I had an apple id with my iPhone 4 which I stopped using a month ago. Now I am trying to download the apps, notes and contacts onto my mac but it is not happening? Any help will be gratefully accepted

I have bought a new macbook pro retina 13. I am not too familiar with Mac yet. I had an apple account with my iphone 4 which I stopped using a month ago. Now when I was trying to download the apps from that account but I dont know how to do this and I am unable to do so. I would be grateful if anyone can advise me with regards to this?

You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
The store on your MacBook is only for Macs.

How do i get my Macbook Pro to communicate/link-up with the Apple TV when it's on ?

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a Macbook pro and Apple TV. The apple tv works fine from an i-pad, but i am not sure where on a Pro to go to get it to 'read' the apple tv ?
Would be grateful for any help please......

AppleTV works in several ways.
For material purchased in iTunes you can play it from the internet if your connection is good enough under Movie/TV Show Purchased sections on the unit itself without a computer on.
For material downloaded or added to iTunes library, the best way to play is to Home Share and for apple TV to pull the compatible stream across to play using iTunes as a helper app.
Apple TV cannot play media that is not part of an itunes library (though the media for the itunes library can be stored in several locations) directly, nor can it access network storage to do so.
If you are playing media files which are not part of an iTunes library on a MacBook Pro and want to mirror the screen to the TV you need to use Airplay mirroring on the Mac (if it's new it should be capable, older ones aren't). Some applications will be prevented from mirroring presumably for copyright reasons (eg DVD player app), but VLC may work. You have probably used Airplay or `Airplay mirroring from iPad - I'm not keen on Airplay personally, but I've had AppleTVs since the days when this was never an option and it could only stream or sync from itunes (syncing no longer possible in newer units).

Whenever i start my macbook pro the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it for hours.

When i turn on my macbook a box appears telling me i need to restart my computer (in different languages) and in order to do so i have to press on the off button for a lil while. Even after doing this the same box appears and it never restarts correctly. This box appears every single time. I rarely turn my computer off. I just place it on sleep mode and restarts it only when i get prompted to. I brought it to genius and they couldnt figure out what the problem is so i was told it needed to be shipped to get fixed. I didnt have anything backed up. All i want saved are the pictures because i went to 2 events where i was the assigned photographer and i didnt get to save it to an external memory. Genius said that when shipped i cant give instructions like make sure to save the pictures and if they are unable to, call me if they should go on with the process. I was wishful thinking that to fix the problem they might not even have to touch the pictures memory part. I brought my MBP back home hoping it will miraculously starts and id be able to back it up but now all it does when i turn it on is the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it on for hours. Please help me fix this!!! cant i really specify to the technicians at apple to please make sure not to erase the pictures? Is there no other way to turn on my mac? I only need it to work ones.

There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.
You can activate by telephone:

My ical in my Macbook Pro is not in sync with my Ipad 2 and Ipod touch. What can I do?

Please help,
Every time I use my Ipad 2 or my Ipod Touch to enter an event or an appointment to my ical, either one of them will show the event or appointment as soon as they are connected over WiFi. The same event will not show up in my ical in my MacBook Pro. I tried to sync them and nothing. I double check to make sure all the features in all 3 (MacBook Pro, Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch) are set with the same features and nothing. My ical in my MackBook Pro will not sync with the events in my Ipad 2 or my ipod Touch. Now, if I type the event in my MacBook Pro ical, and sync my Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch, then I have the events or appointments are recorded. But, many times, I do not carry my MacBook Pro with me, and I missed an appointment for example. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. Thank you.

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
Make separate backups of critical data:
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627

Hope that helps.

New Macbook Pro, iTunes match and syncing with an iPod classc??

Hi,
I recently bought a MBP and I have iTunes Match, so my itunes on the MBP contains my music 'in the cloud'. I also have an iPod classic and want to sync it to update it.
If I plug it in to my new macbook will it sync with 'itunes match' and update with new songs that I've downloaded?
I thought I might have to download all my music from Match to the hard drive of the macbook, but as there is 25gb it is going to take days!!
Does amnyone know what i should do?
Thanks

My MacBook pro won't click even with an external mouse... What do I do?

On my MacBook pro I can move the mouse pointer around with the trackpad, but I can't click or tap to click. The same is true even with an external usb mouse. Can move but no click.

The question is, what model macbook do you have, year, and OS.
Some signifigant OS upgrades from older machines have encountered the no-click occurance that you mention.
Further information is required on your model and OS you both CAME from and are currently ON.

HT1420 My current Macbook Pro has always been authorized with my apple ID now it is not and I cannot delete this computer nor add it to my account?

I have recently purchased a new iPhone 5S and was looking to make a custom ringtone. I have always had this computer authorized already and I can play all my purchased content in iTunes currently. However, when I sync it is requesting I authorize this computer. I do that and it says I cannot because I have computers authorized already. I followed apple's instructions to deauthorize this computer however, it is saying this computer is not authorized. Someone please help?!?!?!

I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account. Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion.Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked on all open. why?

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?

You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.
