OS X :: Automatically Log Into WoW When I Am At School?
Oct 19, 2010
I WoW on a private server, and with the increased population, I have to wait in a queue for about 2 1/2-3 hours before I can actually play the game.
So I was just wondering: Would it be possible to Schedule my computer to turn on at 1:30pm, boot up world of warcraft, log me in, and click on the server that im active in?
I can currently connect to the school network from my home computer and access all my school files to work with. I was wondering wether it is in any way possible to connect to my home computer to get to my files from school?
I am writing this from a Panera Bread, as my school's internet won't work on my MacBook since a fresh install of SL.There isn't much to say, except I cleared out all my old Airport profiles, and my old networks. My school will let me connect for about 5 minutes, then it kicks me off (I see the exclamation point over the Airport icon in the menubar). I checked a friends MB without SL, and she is connecting no problem.My school's network was never protected according to Airport (never saw the padlock), but whenever I would go to connect it would ask for my username and password.
I need to find a way to get into the admin account on my school laptop. The way I did it last was reset the PRAM and get into safemode to delete a startup file so I could make another admin account and change passwords that way. But I'm pretty sure the IT people at my school did something weird to these things. When you take the battery and L-bracket out and remove a stick of RAM and all that and hold down option+command+P+R to reset the parameter RAM, it doesn't even restart or ding. I've done this many many times last year so there's no chance I'm doing wrong. It's not just my computer that won't boot into safemode either. I'm cool with using discs, but I don't know if I'd need an admin password to use them.
I'm in medical school and I can watch videos of my lectures online when I am on campus ONLY (I suppose it only allows certain IPs on the site.) This proves to be very frustrating because I have to commute an hour to campus just to watch the videos. I was wondering if there was a way to just simply go to campus and download the videos. (FYI I'm not sure if this is helpful but I have I just got the brand new macbook, I have quicktime pro but I could only get the video (no audio). to get audio I had to download windows media player. I had flip4mac and that would only give me video only as well, no audio. I've been told that only WMP will work by multiple people. I have XP under bootcamp if that is at all helpful. But once again I would just like to simply download the videos so that I no longer have to come to campus to get them.
I have my laptop, macbook pro, and its personalized to my life outside of school. (porn background, dock applications consisting mostly of games and music editors.) so on and so forth. want to start using spaces. have 2 completely different environments. One being my home use, which will have all the games on the dock and porn as my background. but the other space i want to be school ready. possibly have abit of clothes on the girl in the background image, as well as have different, school related apps on the dock. is this possible?
I'm having a little frustration with the wireless in my school. Every time I try to connect to "CPSWIRELESS", on my G4, it says it's connected, even if it automatically gives me an (inaccurate) random IP address. I've typed in all the IP address numbers & stuff (I've found one of the DELLs working with wireless) in system preferences, and the pasword to unlock it, and it will not get on. I even have a Full AirPort signal. I didn't just use the exact same IP address from the PC; I've changed the digits after the last decimal after that. Didn't work either.
I accidentally opened a virus folder off of my flashdrive from the school computer. I dragged the folder and .exe file to the trash bin and deleted them. I forgot what it is called but it put a restore folder in the flash drive. I was never given the prompt to put my password in to install anything (I wouldn't have if I was.)
I have a great offer from someone who bought a brand new MacBook Pro 13" this year. They have used it only a couple of times. They're selling it for $975 with Microsoft Office installed. 4GB Ram, 500 GB Hard Drive, 2.4 ghz, etc. Since I'm buying this Macbook Pro for grad school, I figure I'm still getting about a $200 discount, but I know apple usually gives a back to school discount of some sort - like a $100 gift card, or iPod touch, etc. Does anyone know the back to school rewards this year? What should I do? Buy the macbook pro from this guy or buy it from apple?
Yes I know that is a tall order, but is there a backpack out there which looks nice, accommodates the macbook pro 15" and also a fair amount of room for school books?
I bought a 13" MBP for $1099 along with the iPod Touch 8GB and Canon printer. I am having second thoughts about my purchase and would just prefer the Air for basic college needs and, of course, portability. If I do return/exchange at the apple store, can I do this by just exchanging my MBP for a MBA without my free iPod and printer promo being taken away? I have already given the iPod as a gift, but still have the printer on me. Also, I am heavily considering just getting a refurb off Apple.com but I think that will just make the process harder with the free iPod and printer.
Lol I've never had any tech problems with my Macs, and today at school I used a Windows box. The whole class had to use them (the reason why is not important). Anyway, for the whole hour and a half I didn't do anything because the ****** Winbox failed on me... Even the ICT teacher at the school didn't have a clue... Lol then she said that I'd be better when the school gets Macs
I am currently enrolled in a Korean university where Macs are an absolute requirement. I have bought a Macbook Pro 13" for this purpose, as they wipe the hard drive and reinstall the OS along with some other course software. I was wondering what other software the school might install to monitor what happens on this computer, as I find it very suspicious that the hard drive has to be wiped. After the school finishes this process, this computer can directly log into the school server, as well as print to network printers. They have installed iWork 2009 and some other course related software. In addition to this, the default Snow Leopard OS has been replaced by the regular 10.5 Leopard OS. I have become rather suspicious of snooping software, as none of the visibly installed software/features seem to require the usage of the older operating system. The bottom line: What other monitoring software might the school have installed, and is it safe to UPGRADE to Snow Leopard?
im going into high school after this summer, and i'm going into a special program which only has about 100 students, but my county has the worst funding in the state, so i'm not sure how good it is.now for getting into this program/getting me to do it, my dad is giving me 2000$.now i need to decide what computer i want, and i'd like to keep the entire cost of the computer under 1500 1600 at the max so i can buy some other new things like a bigger desk, a usb hub, etc. i currently have a dell xps m1330 1.8ghz intel centrino duo vista buissness 32-bit 2gb ram 120gb hd 2 usb ports, vga out, hdmi out, ethernet, 1394 firewire, and a cd drivei also have a dell mini 10 running windows xp.
I consider myself pretty savvy and this problem arose when I tried to add my school's email to Mail.app... I took my computer into the Apple store and they were unsuccessful after about an hour of trying.
Now, I've read on Titan Apps (the section on the CSUF school portal) that you have to create a password solely for POP/IMAP access, and I did that, and I made a new Mail account with the new settings and I'm still receiving errors about the password not being right to get new mail.
So I been trying for awhile to get my school email to work with the mac mail client and finally got it to recieve but it won't send.How do I change smtp to pop for outgoing mail?
I Am using my phone to post this because my computer won't connect to the internet. I am at school and to access the internet you have to connect and then open a browser to accept terms. With my phone the login auto pops up when I connect and same with my iPad but my new MacBook Pro retina doesn't pop anything up and when I go to the browser and try to get the login page to show up all I he is network error. Wifi symbol shows and ! With an alert no internet connection. Tried running diagnostics and that did nothing. Restarted to no avail.
If you order a macbook pro, will you be able to get the new iPod touch or the old one?I tried making an order and it looks like it links to the old one, I just wanted to know if anybody is in the same boat as me.
I have a small business and I am looking for a SIMPLE database to keep track of my families information with the ability to customize fields and import my current clients from excel.
Some of the fields would be, Name, Address, Email, Contact info, Child's Name, Age, Camp they signed up for, Balance Paid, Due etc. It doesn't have to function with any other program or software. Just stand alone for manual input so I can keep track of families registration info, spending habits, balance dues. Just basic report tools. It would be great if I could search "Week 1 Summer Camp" and see who is signed up too...not sure if that's pushing it.
I took my Macbook to the Computer lab, and they couldn't figure out what the problem is. I can access the school's website at home, or on any other network, but not on my connection in my dorm. I can go to any site, except the school's.
I have been getting some conflicting information on the number of devices I can use in my classroom with my personal account. I was under the impression that five devices was the magic number but I recently have been told that it is only one per account if the device is being used in a public setting.
I am ditching my iMac for a more portable MacBook Pro 15". I'm looking at the i7 model. Currently until Sunday in Alabama their is no sales tax on most electronics and "back to school" products. My question is I don't have an Apple Store near me just a Best Buy. They have the 15" i7 model in stock but I don't know if it's the high resolution display model. My two questions are, is the high res display worth it? Also, do you think they would have that in stock or is a BTO item only?
I tried to locate /Library/Logs/PanicReporter according to this link to no avail. I'm not happy with logging using verbose mode and having to retype it all up. I also don't have it in a network of macs to allow for this technique and I feel as if there's a pretty obvious way of capturing these reports that I'm missing.
I want to copy certain files (to an external hard drive, but that doesn't matter) to another folder. But i want it to do it automatically with one click (or two, but you get the point). I want it to only copy files that are also in the destination folder from the source folder to the destination folder. (sorry that doesn't make much sense). But my goal is to back up my music into a folder, but not all of, only the folders that are already there. So basically, replacing old with new, but adding no new folders at all.
I have a memory stick I use for college and I edit some work at home on my Mac, when I connect it to my Mac and then in college (PC) I get some extra files which are highlighted with a underscore before it such as documents. Anyone know how to get rid of them, I tried deleting them but they get regenerated next time I connect it to my Mac.
is there a way to switch network settings automatically because of whether or not I am connected to a certain (non-WiFi) LAN? I have to manually set the IP address and such when I am at work, but would like to have DHCP at all other times. The Location Managers I found can do this only on the basis on whether or not certain WiFi networks are found. However, there is no WiFi at work - so I am looking for a program that detects this specific LAN as soon as I plug in the ethernet cable and then sets a specific location. And vice versa: if I unplug the cable, I want to return to the other location...
I have mac os x version 10.5.7 running on a macbook pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. And my boot camp version is 2.0.
I installed windows vista via boot camp, then uninstalled it following the procedures in the boot camp help file. However after uninstalling windows, whenever I start my laptop it is unable to boot into mac automatically. And after a while shows a screen showing an error that it could not find a bootable drive. So I have to manually press alt(option) button and select the Mac drive to boot into mac os. There is no other os installed than mac.
