You can do it either way. Look around the User options under System preferences. I forget what the option is called exactly but there is something to specify to Automatically login. But in case this keeps acting up on you, you may want to check the VoiceOver at login option also. I mentioned thi

I second Jonhathan's remarks here. Apple provides a 1 year warantee for all their computers at a minimum and if you can dig up a spare $99 before this June, you can extend your coverage for an additional two years; that's the Apple Care program. Anyway, without the Apple Care, you can still get t

You don't by any chance have file vault turned on do you? Go to system preferences: Find the Security and Privacy panel. In this panel is a tab called "File Vault" It should list your disk and tell you that file vault is turned off/ or on. You are aware that for non-file vault systems, you can

If you think it is a problem that could be fixed at the Apple Store, then I suggest you beg one of your friends to take you there. You have a one year warrenty on the computer and if you didn't drop it or spill water on it, then 99/100 times it will be fixed for free at the Apple store in the f
