5year old MacBook pro laptop died. Living in Belguam, India.
5year old MacBook pro died. Living in Belguam, India. Do I need a converter for amps and wattage if I get a newer MacBook pro laptop? Would it be due to a power surge ? The power will go out at random times almost daily. Wondering if I need to get a converter with my next purchase of a laptop?
Can you define "Died"? Did the battery reach the end of its usable life, or did it run out of charge and you have no means of charging it? Also, 5 years is somewhat old for apple technology, so it probably just died since it's so old, not de to a power surge or power outage.

I am adopting my daughter's old macbook pro laptop after my laptop crashed. Do I simply restore her old laptop to my latest backup? Will it update her old laptop to my user info? MacbookPro OSX 10.9.4, restoring from Timecapsule
Use these guidelines:

I want to give my old macbook pro away as a gift & bought a 250 GB SATA internal hard drive and installed it, then popped in the osx install disk. When I start it up it begins well, but when it gets to the point to install the software on the drive, the drive simply doesnt show up on the menu to be chosen to instal the software.
The cables are on right and should be working well, so I don't understand why this brand new, never used hard drive doesn't allow the software to mount. Thanks for the help!jcbarker wrote:

Would that work or is there a better/ different way? Thanks again.
How about an exact model number, there are a lot of 250G Toshiba drives, but even if it is formatted for Windows it should not be necessary to remove it just to format it.
Can you see the drive in Disk Utility? (Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility) -
How do i move all my music from my old Macbook Pro laptop to new iMac desk top?
I have a 2009 macbook pro and want to move all my music over to my new iMac desk top...how do i do this?
thxiTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 -
How can I find out the serial number for my FCE 4.0 that came with my old MacBook Pro?
When I try and open my old FCE projects on my new MacBook Pro, a dialog box pops up and asks me to input the serial number for my Final Cut Express program. The software came pre-loaded on my old MacBook Pro which died. Luckily, my local Apple store was able to transfer the fcp files to my new MacBook Pro, which came with FCP X installed. I just can't open those files without the serial number of the FCE 4.0 program.
Message was edited by: Garyb1978It is almost impossible to transfer FCE as there are so many essential hidden files that workers in an Apple Store will know nothing about. The app needs to be installed from the original DVD.
Other than buying another copy your only chance (very remote) is to contact the Apple Store and see if they are able to get a replacement number from Apple. -
My old MacBook Pro crashes very strangely!
I have this old MacBook Pro laptop (2006 model), which I love so much and I hate to let it go (my first purchase from Apple...). Lately, though, it crashes very unexpectedly whenever I try to backup its hard disk drive contents using Carbon Copy Cloner or Time Machine (via either FireWire or USB). I have used various combinations of external disk drives / interfaces - but every time it proceeds up to a point and then the laptop shuts down as if it had no battery left (no messages or any other indications on-screen). I got the same symptom when upgrading to Snow Leopard earlier today - it took me several times starting up the system in order to complete the upgrade and subsequent software updates. This makes me suspicious with regards to some very specific piece of software on the internal disk drive that acts strangely whenever accessed.
Any ideas on what might be happening? I know that I am asking a really strange question here but I am running out of ideas (and - as said earlier - I really wouldn't like to leave this laptop behind...).Try removing Dropbox from your startup items. Go to System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click your name and choose login items. You can remove it there. That won't delete it from your machine, just stop it from loading automatically. Reboot and see if that helps.
I'm not sure what "store monitor" is. I don't think that's for the App store, as I don't have it running on my machine. See if that loads from Login items while you're in there. -

Old MacBook Pro Died, Trying to Transfer Creative suite
Hello!
Wondering if anyone can help me, my old MacBook Pro died (Logic Board faliure) , I had Adobe Creative Suite CS4 on it and I want to get it on my new computer.
I got an enclosure for the harddrive and can transfer files to my new computer but after transfering my Adobe programs it won't let me open them, says there is some sort of licencing issue (error 6). I'm just wondering if there are some files I am missing or what, I can't deactivate it on my old computer as all that is left of it is the harddrive. I also don't have the install disks as I moved and lost them... If anyone can help me out with this I would be very greatfull.
Regards,
K. Spencer JonesOf course you need the serial number. And yes, it’s on the DVD case or sign into your account and you’ll find it there….if you registered.

My old MacBook pro died, got a new Mac can I use my cs4 with my new computer?
MMy old MacBook pro died, got a new Mac, can I use my cs4 with my new computer? Do I need to buy a new license?
Using Time Machine, or any other such program, to transfer Adobe software from one machine to another works probably less than five percent of the time. Uninstall from your new machine. Run the cleaner tool (do a search for Cleaner Tool on this site if you don't know what it is). Then reinstall properly from original media or downloads.

Migrating info from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro and original laptop loses charge midway thru. After charging again how do I get things going, do I start from the beginning?
Agreed. Don't even think about starting a long, disc-intensive process like that without both machines powered by AC.

Is it normal that 2 years old macbook pro logic board died
is it normal that 2 years old macbook pro logic board died.i Went to apple repair plase and they said that logic board is ded.is it really OK that in 2 years it dies.
Hi,
No it is not normal nor it is a gamble. It will be a shame if anyone within Apple thinks that you were gambling on the quality of their products by not buying an extended warranty.
When someone buys a machine like a MacBook Pro from Apple you are not gambling with quality. But investing by forking out a higher amount of money than people do find less expensive solutions. This is, of course, a personal choose.
When a computer dies within two years anyone can see that the machine was not build for such a period and therefore it is not more than reasonable to have it repaired or replaced on the costs of the manufacturer.
In growing amount of (European) countries customers are protected against the approach of limited warranty. Apart from the one year warranty, people are entitled to have a device (in your case a computer) on which they can rely on for many years, unless stated differently (except for wear and tear for which a manufacturer is not responsible for).
Buying an extended warranty (as a warranty against a failure of the product) is no more than a commercial exploitation against which consumers should be protected. Which only can be achieved through proper legislation in the country you live in. -
My 1 week old macbook pro battery is dying.
my 1 week old macbook pro battery is dying. i charged it to 100% then went to bed and this morning it is at 32% when turned on. What the heck?
my light does not flash in sleep mode.
Which means it isn't sleeping. Run the Console and put the computer sleep. Experiement with the sleep command and closing the lid. Does it sleep with the sleep command but not the lid? Does it not sleep in either case. In the Console, by default, you'll see all the messages that are logged. Pay attention to when you close the lid or execute the sleep command and pay attention to the log entries that occur at that time and shortly afterwards. You might find a sleep terminated type message which will give you a clue about why it isn't sleeping.
There are also programs that are known to cause insomnia. At the head of my list are all it one printer software because the drivers often constantly look for an incoming fax or the keypress from the AIO printer console.
One more thing - if you have been putting it to sleep and then disconnecting USB or FireWire devices - that's the problem.
