MacBook help?

Hi, so I got my macbook pro trackpad fixed recently, but I was paranoid that I ruined my trackpad again. I ate greasy food and my hands were fat and I forgot to wash, and I hit my trackpad, maybe even on the side. I mean, it's the clicking and it is not particularly difficult to click, but I'm paranoid enough. My trackpad may stop working with my oily hands? Also, I'm paranoid because the top sides of the trackpad is harder to press. Is this normal? The low side work fine. Also, I was wondering on how to take care of my Macbook battery. If I had the drop somewhere, a blanket or a pillow would be ok? I usually put on my knees when I'm working, or on a pillow when I'm drinking the liquid, which was a few months ago. There was a moment where I spilled a drink liquid on my keyboard, but all of my keys work perfectly. I have no problems with my keyboard, but I'm paranoid it is damaged, even if it works.

BTW, I have a keyboard cover

You can not press on the top of the trackpad, you're not supposed to do.  I have eaten all kinds of food and used my trackpad and nothing happened to it yet, so I think you're fine.  I use my MacBook on all kinds of surfaces; a desk, my knees, a pillow, the floor... I have a portable stand that I sometimes use to get me air below, but you can use the computer on which surface you want as long as it is not wet.  You know, so do not take it in the shower with you.

  • I have a virus on my Macbook help!

    I am almost certain that my Macbook Pro has a virus! Whenever I am on a site (a site Web, anyone) my mouse icon will blink then the site will open in a different tab and the original tab turns into an ad! It has been going for probably two weeks now and just randomly came. I googled so much to solve this problem, but am also worried if I download a virus scan that could also be a virus! Can any body please help!

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if it is not a type of adware is covered by them on the computer, these. If you would rather not remove it manually, you can run rather MalwareBytes for Mac.

  • I created the site Web of Muse on my MacBook - HELP

    I created a website in Muse on my personal MacBook and now I want to edit this Web site, add the content, manage the site of my new iMac at work - I just save in the cloud? Or how to access it on my work computer? I tried to access it on my iMac personal home and this was not to let me. Any help is appreciated and sorry in advance if this is an obvious answer that I don't see.

    If you build the website on your macbook at home:

    1. If you have not yet done so, create a folder on your computer "Mywebsite" (or another name).
    2. Copy to this folder the .muse file you saved Adobe Muse.
    3. Also in this folder, copy all images that you referenced when you developed your web site. (note: Dmuse ear development team: would be great to have a 'package' of Muse, similar to InDesign function that collects all the assets in a single folder ;-)) )

    Once you have all the required files in a spot, you can:

    • Copy the USB folder as a way to transfer on your work computer, OR
    • Copy the folder to your folder of creative cloud on your laptop at home, and then once the folder is synchronized (green check mark):
      1. Right click on the file in the folder of creative cloud and choose CC > collaborate. Enter the e-mail address associated with your job ID Adobe and send invitation
      2. The next time you connect to your work computer, open the desktop application Cloud creative (menu bar on Mac), or the taskbar on the victory. The upper part of the application displays a marker with "Requests", click on "applications" and you will be able to see all applications for collaboration and can then click on "accept". This will start a synchronization with the file that you placed in the folder of creative cloud at home and download all the files, so you can continue working on it.

  • Sound is gone on my Macbook Pro. The icon is grey after trying to download a password security app Help!

    Sound is gone on my Macbook Pro. The sound icon went gray. This followed two downloads of password security applications and then deleted. The third I have kept and entered my password. If I go into the Time Machine to restore the system will delete the security of password I put in place after the last Time Machine backup?

    Thank you for your willingness to get out me of trouble!

    Hi Vincent,.

    I understand that you are no longer able to control the audio output on your Mac after installing a few different security applications. If you want to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac at one point before installing these applications, it is absolutely an option. However, keep in mind that this kind would remove, indeed, any changes made after the point of this backup, including installation and configuration of said software.

    Alternatively, you can consider having a look at the article in the link below for steps that can help to restore the functionality of audio output on your MacBook Pro.

  • Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

    I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

    I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
    Here are my system specs:


    Presentation of the material:

    Model name: MacBook Pro

    Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

    Processor name: Intel Core i7

    Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

    Number of processors: 1

    Total number of cores: 2

    (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

    L3 Cache: 4 MB

    Memory: 8 GB

    Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

    Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

    Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

    What I tried (from what I remember):

    I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

    If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

    I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

    So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

    If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

    Thank you

    If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.

  • Need help with Macbook

    Hello, I recently bought a Macbook from a friend and since I got the Mac it's very very slow at doing things like browsing the internet using Safari, it takes forever to load, web pages and all sorts of things that I'd like to get help with this problem maybe a few recommendations and also on how to speed up... If you need to care about Macbook, I can give these thx.

    To sell or transfer ownership of a Mac, even to a member of your family, you must follow these instructions. So far, you will have continuous problems.

    Refer to what to do before you sell or give away your Mac

    1. If you have enabled FileVault, disable it in system preferences > Security and privacy.
    2. "Remove" your iTunes account. Ditto for Audible if you have one.
    3. System Preferences > iCloud > deselect 'Back to My Mac' and 'find my Mac '.
    4. Disconnect from iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.

    Next: delete all of your personal information by erasing the internal storage of the Mac completely.

    1. If your Mac comes with a grey system installation DVD, start up your Mac with this disc in the optical drive, all holding the key c to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which must be erased before selling.
      • Apple stopped Macs shipment requiring these discs in August 2011.
    2. If your Mac does not comes with disks, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
      • using three fingers press on and hold the following keys: (command), optionand R.
      • With a fourth finger, press the power button to turn on the Mac.
      • Keep the other three fingers here where they are until you see the icon "spinning globe.
      • This method force the Mac to download BONES initially installed from Apple servers, that won't require not an Apple ID install.
    3. Remove any password Open Firmware, if you created a: select utility password firmware in the Utilities menu and remove.
    4. Select disk utility from the utilities menu.
    5. Delete all partitions that can be created.
    6. Select the icon for the hard drive to the Mac, and then select the tab "delete".
    7. Click on the 'Security Options' button and erase the drive.
      • More "robustly" you erase the disc, the longer it will.
      • The fastest method is sufficient, since all but the techniques more expensive and equipment will be able to recover data deleted safely.
    8. When he finishes, quit disk utility.
    9. In the utility menu, select Install Mac OS X .
      • An identifier Apple won't be necessary. If a prompt for an Apple ID, return to step 5.
      • Do not create user accounts.
    10. When he finishes, shut down the computer.
    11. If you want to install the bundled apps that have been included with your Mac, restart using your DVD Applications if it was included and install the bundled apps.
      • Apps, delivered with the new Macs sold without disks cannot be transferred. His new owner must buy them from the Mac App Store with its own Apple ID.

    If the Mac is sold to someone outside the family, consider the following additional information:

    1. System provided with your Mac installation DVD must stay with him forever and be included in the sale.
    2. Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, documents printed, same box if you have.
      • AppleCare remains with the equipment and can be transferred.
    3. Run an invoice indicating the serial number of the Mac.
    4. Once is no longer in your possession, remove the Mac of your devices in my support profile.
