Why does our macbook pro save pictures to downloads on my wife's account, but my side does not?

In the beginning, everything worked fine. I dabbled with everything. Just getting the feel for os x. My account still works great, but my wife is having issues on her side. Such as, changing her desktop background, all of her friends pictures on facebook has downloaded to her download folder and if she deletes them, she also deletes them from her friends list. and the notifaction pop up that I get showing me that someone has sent a notification to me without being on facebook. I forgot how I did that, but my wife wants it done to hers. Any help on these issues? Please?

Yes.

Our Macbook air was lost or stolen shortly after initial setup / registration but device location was not turned on. Can MAc ID

Our Macbook air was lost or stolen shortly after initial setup / registration but device location was not turned on. Can MAc ID # be found through email linked during setup ?

The following has some recommendations from Apple of what to do if Find My Mac was not turned on before it was lost or stolen. The quote is from If your Mac is lost or stolen - Apple Support
Find My Mac is the only Apple service that can help track or locate a lost Mac. If you didn’t set up Find My Mac before your Mac was lost, or you can’t locate it, these steps might help you protect your data:
Change your Apple ID password to prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud data or using other services (such as iMessage or iTunes) from your Mac.
Change your passwords for other accounts you use with your Mac, including email, banking, and social sites like Facebook or Twitter.
Report your lost or stolen Mac to local law enforcement. They might request the serial number of your computer. You can find this information on the original box or receipt you received when you purchased your Mac, or on Apple's My Support Profile site if you registered your Mac.

My macbook pro would play a CD when I first got it, but now it will not.

When I first got my MacBook Pro it would play my CDs and DVDs. Now it will not. I am very frustrated because when you pay for an Apple product you expect it to do the basic things it is supposed to do!
Why will it not play CDs now? I have had this macbook only about 6 months.

Apple does not read here.
If you want Apple to know send feedback

I also have iPhone 5s on day one and it's working since. When it's not registering, I just clean the Home button and it works straight away.
Did you try when registering fingerprint using all angles? It should learn the more you use it.
Did you clean the sensor with a soft cloth?

Does the Macbook Pro (2012) have a dvd drive? I can't seem to find one.

Does the Macbook Pro (2012) have a dvd drive? I can't seem to find one.

Not the MBP-R's, you can't even change the RAM or storage in them.
The other 15" MBP's you can and they include the Superdrive built in.
Last time you do a impulsive purchase huh?

Why does my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro keep freezing?

Why does my MacBook Pro freeze?
MacBook Pro
2.4 GHz intel Core2 Duo
4BB 1067 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
I turned it on and I went to safari to look things up. Safari froze and then the whole thing became unresponsive - the mouse could move the cursor but it couldn't open any programmes.
Tried safe boot several times. No help.
Tried to repair disc permissions. The first time it got a little way then said 'user stopped repair' or something - though I didn't touch it. Tried again it got all the way through and said 'repairs complete'. But no help.
Couldn't clear cache etc as couldn't get to the relevant part to do it.
Opened in single user mode. Ran the fsck -fy thing twice. First time it said both “The volume appears to be OK” AND “FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED.” In 2nd run it just said “The volume appears to be OK”. No help.
Booted it up from the Superduper bootable backup version on a USB external drive. It seemed to boot up ok but then tried to click on something and the same thing happened - spinning beach ball and it just hung.
Erased hard drive and reinstalled snow leopard but it just does the same thing. Suggesting a hardware issue not software but...the Eerie thing is, we tried backup version on boyfriends Mac Pro and it worked fine on there but 24hrs later his Mac Pro has got exactly the same screen freezing, unresponsive issue. Could this suggest there's something evil lurking on my back up? Can't get an appointment at Genius Bar until next week and need to get some work done, so hoping someone might have some ideas?
Cheers

... does Apple products work much better with using Apple routers?
While a genuine Apple router is likely to result in success, the reason for having one instead of another product is that it eliminates a lot of uncertainty. For example, we do not know the model D-Link product you have so no one is in position to speculate what the problem might be. Also, it makes support on this forum easier since there are only three AirPort models to choose from and they all work more or less the same.
Generally speaking your iPods, iPads, MacBooks, and AppleTV ought to work with any router though, provided it is fairly recent and meets accepted industry standards. If in doubt you can purchase an AirPort Base Station, which comes with 90 days of free telephone support. If it does not result in any improvement for you, you can always return it for a complete refund. The return period is 14 days and be sure to keep all material - receipt, box, manuals, etc...
If you elect this option be sure to follow its installation instructions, the most important of which is to power down your modem prior to connecting the AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. All your other equipment will need their network settings adjusted to "forget" the D-Link network and connect to the new one.

Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime?

Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime? When my girlfriend and I are trying to watch a movie on Netflix together while on FaceTime my MacBook Pro always decreases the volume of any background sound on my computer so I can barely hear it. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!

Have the same issue too. Apple can you please change this annoying feature. You are making long distance relationships more difficult.
I like how Facetime was with the old iOS, where nothing was dimmed. OR at least maybe if you could give users the option to turn on or off dimming of facetime.

Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging?

Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging? It is working fine without charging but once I attach the charger to my laptop, it just blacks out or goes to sleep mode and I can't wake it up unless I unpluck the charger.
I read from threads that it is a logic board problem....How do I solve this problem?

Try an SMC reset. Follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

Why does my macbook pro get hot

Why does my Macbook pro get hot while I am only on my email account? This is a recent change. It gets too hot too put in my lap. Is it a battery issue.

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

Why does my MacBook Pro spit out a CD

Why does my MacBook pro eject a CD without downloading it?

You rip a CD. You download something over a network connection.
Could be doing it because the CD is bad. Test the CD in another computer.
Could be doing it because the drive is bad or dirty. Try a drive cleaning disc but don't hold out too much hope. Try other CDs in the drive to see if it is the drive or that particular CD.
As with any issue of this sort you have to test each step and component in the process individually.

Why does my Macbook Pro keep shutting down during installation of OSX Mountain Lion?

Why does my Macbook Pro keep shutting down during installation of OSX Mountain Lion?

Hmm, good luck then!
I'm pretty much exactly on the opposite side of the planet, but I've been to Vermont and remember its rural beauty well. However, I can't imagine you having the only Internet connection within a reasonable radius (where "neighbors" hanging off the same ISP don't count). Uh, that note only if your wired connection to the router produces no good result, either...

Why does my Macbook Pro destabilize after hibernation sleep?

Over the last several months using Mountain Lion, I decided to completely drain my battery to reset it. I think it then goes into what is called hibernation or emergency sleep mode. I am usually unable to wake it from sleep prompting a forced resstart.
to restart, I connect the adapter and the light goes green quickly changing to amber as expected. After the restart, however, some top menu items are missing such as the wi-fi icon and the Lock Keychain icon. All third party icons display correctkly. The space is there but blank and I can access the pulldown menu by clicking in those blank areas.. When double clicking the HD icon in the Finder, no icons show on the left side any more. A restart does not fix the problem. The system then eventually destabilizes to the point that I have to restore from my Firewire external HD clone using SuperDuper. One time I did a full restore (that takes forever even with a very fast wi-fi set up) to fix the problem.
I am usually in Safari or playing a Game such as a third party card game application to pass the time until the battery completely drains. I also have Filevault enabled.
Why is the MacBook Pro battery reset causing this OS instability? How can I reset the battery without encountering these sleep issues?

Thank you Dale.
This article mentions that recalibration should be done every two months. I think I waited 4-6 months before doing a recalibration on purpose. Though I probably ran out the battery power before then recharging overnight (some commenters on Apple Discussions said to wait 5 hours before recharging!).
I think that my battery goes into a forced shutdown rather than true sleep. Your linked thread states that this often causes directory damage. But I ran DiskWarrior and Disk Utility immediately after the stated problems occurred. And these programs pretty much repair any directory damage. But they failed to correct the problems I listed in my original post.
So I question the conclusion that not calibrating every two months caused irreparable directory damage that even DiskWarrior or Disk Utility cannot repair. The damage appears more extensive than this in my opinion.
The battery is only a year old with 92.35% of its original current capacity and 537 cycles. The current charge is over 6350 at 99.47%. It will eventually go to 100%. I can run over 4 hours of normal usage on a single battery charge.
Side note -- to my knowledge, nothing in the original MacBook Pro manual suggests that the battery requires regular recalibration of any kind to maintain the integrity of the battery. Much less every two months. If this is a requirement or even highly recommended, then Apple has done a good job hiding this information. And the available recalibration information varies from one type of battery to the next and is often inconsistent.
Apple's comments in the past support the idea that recalibration improves efficiency and fixes some battery issues as they occur, but that it is not manditory to maintain the health of the battery.
Do you have an official battery recalibration source (preferably Apple) that indicates regular battery recalibration is crucial and exactly how this must be done for MacBooks with builtin batteries?

Why does my macbook pro retina display shutdown while entering the administer account

why does my macbook pro retina display shutdown while entering the administer account

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, 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, 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 iMacs. 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.

Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage every time i try to access netflix or youtube?

Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage (in safari) every time I try to access netflix or youtube?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
