Stuck on how to set up your Mac

A new Mac comes with 90 days of free technical support, AppleCare.

How to set a specific MAC address for a virtual NETWORK adapter in ESXi 4.1?
I would like to move a virtual machine to another server ESXi, but I saw every time I use the converter, it changes the MAC of the virtual network interface! Also if I copy the virtual machine to a vmware 2.0 server the same thing happens. Is it possible to keep the same address in another computer and turn off the virtual machine from the first computer source to avoid conflicts of mac?
Thank you.
Using the converter, you'll always end up with a different MAC address. If you just want to "pass" the virtual machine, you can use utilities like of Veeam FastSCP.
Another option is to set up a MAC address in the network settings of the virtual machine. After conversion, you can reset the MAC address to the value of "old."
For some hosted VMware products (such as Workstation and Server maybe player) there's a vmx ethernetX.checkMACAddress = "FALSE" setting that allows you to set any MAC address you want to. For more information, see http://sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-network-advanced.html.

How to set only your screen and the HDD to sleep
I'm going away for an extended period of time and let my laptop. However, I intend to connect to my laptop occasionally via a remote access account. In order to keep my computer "connectable", is there a setting I can chance that would have the computer display and a HDD to sleep but not the network? My laptop is going to be plugged in, so I'm not worried about the battery on me dying.

deleted login keychain, now stuck on "configure your Mac."
Hi, I have the strangest thing going:
all of a sudden all my apps wanted to use Keychain 'login '. I've had this problem several times on other Machines and fixed it by deleting the keychain of connection in Macintosh HD / Users/[userX]/Library/Keychains/login.keychain. I did it once again. (Moving the file to a folder on the desktop)
Then I rebooted my mac. Both my user accounts appear as expected. When I tried to log in to my user account, he gave me a Notification "OSX wants to access the Keychain 'local products' (or something similar) this time, it was the bunch of local products, which I hadn't touched." I clicked Cancel.
Now the system asked me to provide my password in iCloud. I thought that this is normal, because I just deleted my bunch of connection and will need to re-enter my password to iCloud.
But after that I have provided the password, the computer displays the screen "Setting up your Mac. (The same as you see when you install your mac directly on the box. the first two check marks appeared very quickly at first, but then the computer was stuck and just display the wheel.) And it is yet...)
***? I really hope that my system drive is not removed right now, because my BU time machine is not 100% of the latter. And although I did the whole process relatively fast, I am positive that I have has not confirmed something like "be careful, that if you continue, your system will be restored."
What is happening to me? Has anyone already experienced something like this?
I read in an article in apple support I should wait for the installation to the end, when it seems to be stuck, but it was about 45 minutes now. I will keep you updated on what is happening in the meantime, I'd really appreciate any thoughts on the subject... Thank you

Update: Okay, at the end of my day I seem to have beaten the problem, I write my Solution, maybe it helps someone in the future...
(1) I waited several hours and all, had no hope that my mac would get out of the rut of the screen 'set up your mac. But eventually he did...
(2) when the machine finally come off, I got the login screen. My second user account was not visible, only my admin... I tried to log in, but I come to the spinning wheel of apple for another hour or two until finally, I lost my patience and restarted strength.
(3) after pushing the power button I started in safe MODE. I was able to connect. Then I rebooted again normally.
(4) my machine worked but the problem with the keychain. He told me a hundred times, the login keychain is not found, and I hit "reset default" several times. Then I deleted the Keychain file again. There were two files: 'login.keychain' and ' login.keychain.sb - 6e45f1ef-el41hA. I rebooted.
(5) when you try to connect this time I received the same message as last time I deleted the keychain file: "OSX wants access to the 'local products' Keychain '. Cancel this time that I was NOT hit, but provided my normal login password. And Voila. I had to enter several passwords, but the Keychain Access does not annoy me more...
Hope this helps someone...
Kind regards

Is it safe to leave your Mac to sleep while not using it?
Is it safe to leave your Mac to sleep while not using it?
Of course, it is safe. Sleep is the best way to let your Mac if you use in a short period of time (process of awakening is much faster but to turn on your Mac, whenever you want to use it), and your Mac also consumes very little power in this mode. However, it is better to turn off your Mac if you are not going to use it for a long time.
To secure your Mac by others, I suggest you to set up your Mac to request your password after waking up from his sleep. You can do System Preferences-> Security & privacy-> general-> 'ask the password... ».
