My battery is charged - in fact, I always have it plugged in. Regularly, I cannot activate my screen, even though the LED light is on. Only works if I switch power off, and back on. Computer is three months old.
This question will probably make me look like a total noob. But I can't find info on the Apple website. I've purchased Apple Care from a third party seller. Now I got the code emailed, without instructions. How do I activate this protection plan?
If I go into keychain>settings>show in menu bar there is a little lock in the menu bar. First option is "protect screen" which is what I need really often in my day. So how to activate that option via hotkey? I tried several times but I could not manage to do that. Active corners with the screen saver dos not work because it feels to slow.I want to press a button and be done.Going into standby takes to long to reactivate... so the described option seems the right one.Â
I use my mac alot, but sometimes my mac get's very hot, is there some way I can control my fan, turn it on and off tell it which speed it should be manually,
We've got a new macbook air running Lion. There's an icon for remote disk in the Finder window. We have two iMacs and both have CD/DVD sharing turned on. But the Remote Disk on the Air is empty. Do we need to install any software on the iMacs? Do we have to create a new wifi network? or is the Air not working properly?
it was suggested to me to download 30 day iworks trial. I have done this last night but to activate it is stating: iwork installer cannot continue while the keuynote, pages or numbers application is open. Quit these applications and then open the installer again.I purchased my applepro and Pages four weeks ago. I am not sure it this means I will lose my purchased Pages.

i was just typing in my new MBP and i realized that only sometimes my CAPS LOCK would activate. I did some research and found this: [URL:..] It basically says that apple has made the caps lock key so that you have to push it for more time. can you make the caps lock key to actovate quickly?
All time PC user and finally picked up my first Mac, a brand new 2010 2.4 MBP! Just wondering, being used to normal tap to click functions from PC machines im wondering. Do most of you MBP users use tap to click or actually use the click on the trackpad? I've noticed using the click is more accurate as far as responses, but isn't as efficient/fast as using tap to click. Can I get suggestions from you MBP users on what you guys use? I'm far in between the two so I want to know which one I probably should use so I basically "learn" to use it over time. Also, noticed when I activate tap to click and use dragging, when I start to drag a window, and find the place I want to leave it. I'll raise my finger like 1mm in the air and it still registers my finger there and will still move it. It wont unlock my finger from the drag lock unless I lift it more than 3mm off the trackpad.

I just got my Macbook Air back from apple repair. I went to go facetime one of my friends and it told me to log into my Apple ID. I logged in with my info and chose my contact info (the number and email I use) and clicked next. As I waited for it to load, it did but went back to the screen where it has me log into facetime.
Also the same thing with iMessage where it will not activate my account. I have had no problems with iMessage and Facetime before on my Macbook till now.

I would like to my macbook pro to be turned off at 5% Battery power, as it doesn't turn of correctly at 0%. I'm having this issue for some years now, and want to get rid of it. Which plist needs to be changed for this? Or is there a Terminal-Command that's providing this? I don't want to buy a new battery yet, cause the one I have is quite fine still. I already reset the SMC and the Parameters. Is the battery status relevant, when resetting the SMC? Here's what has been going on so far: [URL]

I am new to this forum, but hoping I can get an answer here. When placing my Macbook Pro in sleep mode by closing the lid, it goes into sleep mode, but immediately turns back on (with the lid closed), then after a short time goes back into sleep mode and then immediately turns back on. It keeps cycling like this. Any clues to why it will not stay in the sleep mode?

I just gained my new iMac iMac, 27-inch, 2.93GHz Core i7, 8Gb, 1Tb+256GB SSD, ATI 5750 with this type of SSD:APPLE SSD TS256B. And now I want to deactivate atime (so to activate noatime) and I can't do it. Well, I have done everything like written here [URL] but after typing mount nothing have happened I didn't see noatime. Who knows the solution of these problem? May be in last iMacs we can not activate noatime cause OS X doesn't need it?
I installed XP successfully via bootcamp and got it to connect to the internet. Put parallels on the macbook today and when it opened it said I needed to activate windows before I could use it. But in parallels I can't get it to connect to the internet to activate? What am I doing wrong??
