>1.How can i copy two disc of Macbook Pro, what i have when i bought  the Macbook Pro, to HDD or another HDD.
I think you meant how do you copy one hard drive to another.  You can do so with a variety of backup software*:

>2.If i lost those disc, how can i reinstall, format my macbook pro?
Boot off any clone hard drive you make with the backup software that I mentioned above, and you can use Disk Utility to format your hard drive.  Note you'll want at least a second external clone or Time Machine drive before you do this.  Because if there is a failure of one backup during your erase, you'll be left with only one copy of your data.
>3.I have heard about Mac OS Lion will come in this July, and we can get it on Appstore. When i buy and download it, can i write or copy it do DVD and HDD to save them?
Unknown.  I see no technical reason why you can do this, but it may not be a bootable copy you make. Apple has said they will give you a restore partition in Lion on the specs here:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/
Until it is released no one knows if there is any other capability, or if a DVD version of Lion might be available.  This has already been asked at length on the board, with no answers until the release date.
>4.When i bought this Macbook Pro, Mac OS Snow Leopard is installed in my MacBook Pro, and it had ilife(iMovie, iWeb ....) If i buy Mac OS Lion, can i have ilife when i install it?
I can't imagine why not.  The only reason might be some feature of Lion that iLife can't take advantage of necessitating an updated release of iLife.  At this point Apple hasn't announced any.

  • Compatible Hard Disc for MacBook Pro

    What about facetime on MacBook Pro from UAE?

    You won't be able to select the UAE when setting FaceTime up(its not a choice), but if you select another country, it should work just fine.

  • Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer.

    Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer. Have already opened box. Searched online and someone suggested downloading the LR trial, and set up Cloud, then can enter the serial number to complete the purchase. Which is what I did, but the serial number is being rejected.

    Ok, maybe what they’re calling Creative Cloud is merely your Adobe ID, an e-mail and password to login with.  The LR5 6 update link is probably what you want to download—all updates are downloads, anyway, so there’s no need to have a disc reader as long as you have internet and the serial number.
    Here is the LR 5.6 update for a Mac:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5822
    Another issue might be that what you think is a serial number is a redemption code that needs to be converted to a serial number using this website:  http://www.adobe.com/go/getserial   A clue that you have a redemption code is that it has letters and numbers.  A serial number is just numbers and the first few are 1160-something.

  • About the new macbook pro connectivity .. help!!

    I was wondering about the new macbook pro 13". If i use a mini displayport to hdmi cable, could i use the macbook pro as a display for ps3?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    sorry, but no.
    The MBP has only a Video-Out port, not a Video-In port.

  • So I'm thinking about buying a Macbook pro with 512 gb harddrive and 8gb of ram. But I don't know whether to get a 2.4 ghz or 2.7 ghz processor? I mainly use my computer for a lot of music, internet, and other teenage things

    2.4ghz is plenty of processing, if it means you'll save money over the 2.7ghz. I'd have suggested 2.7 if you also do heavy video editing/rendering using FCP, etc... but the spec you have is plenty

  • Can I use my iMac Install Disc on Macbook Pro?

    Hi, all.  I was given a friend's old Macbook Pro and I'd like to put Boot Camp on it, but the Boot Camp instructions say I need an OSX Leopard install disc to do it.  Naturally, I just recently purged my own software binder and threw away all of my OSX discs except the one that came with iMac I recently purchased.  "Why would I need them any more?" said I.  Doh.
    I have no idea what cat Apple is up to now, but the Macbook is running 10.5.8 and the install disc from my iMac is 10.6.7.  My questions:
    1) Can I use my iMac install disc on my Macbook Pro, which is about 3-4 years old?
    2) Does OS 10.6.7 qualify as Leopard?  If not, will it work for what I'm trying to do?
    3) Do I need to update the Macbook OS to 10.6.7 to be able to use that disc for the Boot Camp install?
    Any information or advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    The only thing I'd add to this is that at one point in time you could go to an Apple store and purchase Lion on a USB stick.
    If your MBP was compatible and you could find one of those you could boot to it, install from it then setup bootcamp.
    Also if you are thinking bootcamp, also consider VMWare Fusion or Parallels which allow you to run Windows while still in OS X.

  • How to install operating system on new hard drive without installation disc on macbook pro 2011

    My macbook pro 2011 does not come with a recovery disc or any disc at all, my hard drive recently failed and i have no backup. i have replaced the hard drive but don't know how to install the operating system on the new hard drive.

    If it originally shipped with 10.7 or newer, connect the computer to the Internet and start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down. You'll be able to install an OS.
    If it shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier and wasn't upgraded to use Apple's Internet Recovery system, phone AppleCare and order the disks.

  • I'd like to get a new computer but I'm not certain about getting a Macbook Pro vs a Windows PC Helpppppppppppp

    I'm shopping for a new computer.  I've been a Windows user for a long time now.  I've been shopping for a laptop so I can be portable.  I really like the design and features of the Macbook Pro with Retina and it would do what I need it to do for audio recording and other things musically.  I've been told by musician friends that its much easier to work with a Macbook Pro when it comes to audio recording, photos, and movie making.  I've read this in many articles online as well.
    I'm convincing myself more each day to get a Macbook Pro, but that reservation keeps holding me back because of my Windows experience.  I know I can purchase Parallels or VMWare Fusion 5 and run Windows so what I am worried about it? lol
    I'd like to read some feedback on those Mac users that converted over from Windows.  How has your experience been with a Macbook Pro?  I like the idea that Apple will be bringing the manfacturering of their systems to the USA.  I also like the fact that Apple does their own research to build great products for all consumers to enjoy.  I guess that's why the products cost so much.  You're paying for care and quality.
    Ok Mac users honestly convince me that I'm making a solid and sound decision by diving into a Macbook Pro.
    Thanks and take care,
    L

    I have used PCs for years, and still do at work.  But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself).  It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI.  I have no experience with Win8.  Here are my thoughts:
    1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
    2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC.  But not as much less as some would have you believe.  You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display.  And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
    3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
    That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac.  For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation.  I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap.  I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way).  You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere.  And, it probably isn't cheap.
    I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
    I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice.  But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
    So, there you go.

  • How to find system discs for Macbook Pro

    I seem to have misplaced my Macbook Pro 3,1 system discs. I think I may have left them in the box, then got rid of the box. Is there anyway I can get another copy of the discs, or download them from the Apple site?
    The Machine came with 10.4.8 I have a Tiger Retail disc, but it only seems to work on PPC machines. I need to reinstall the system software, as when the machine starts up it keeps saying some system files are missing and need to be re-installed.
    Any help will be much appreciated

    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

  • Cannot Install Snow Leopard 10.6 disc on Macbook Pro (will not boot disc)

    Hi there,
    I have a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of DDR2 SDRAM. It is currently running Mac osX 10.4.11.
    I am trying to install a snow leopard disc 10.6 but when I click on the disc and hit install, it restarts the computer and tries to start it up with the install disc. This is where I get an apple logo with a spinning progress wheel that doesn't go away until I force the laptop to power down.
    Can anyone tell me how I can resolve this issue?
    Thank,
    Caleb

    Double check to make sure your computer meets all the qualifications for the Snow Leopard upgrade. Especially check out the "Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger" section in the right column - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
    Your disc may be damaged. You can always take your computer and the disc back to the Apple Store. See if they can boot.

  • About to Purchase Macbook Pro, with reservations

    I am about to purchase a Macbook Pro, but I have some reservations I wanted to level about, and get the communities opinion. I really want leopard when it is released in October, but I'm going to school, so I cant wait till then to purchase it. I've heard there is some sort of obscure Apple policy that will allow me to upgrade to the new OS for free if I purchases the hardware within a given amount of time before the upgrade to Leopard. If true, this will cement my decision to get a Macbook. If not..... I may have to pursue a PC, unfortunately.

    hirschab,
    If I am not mistaken, Apple has offered free "upgrade" versions of new OSs to those who purchased hardware within 30 days of any new release (I know for a fact that the plan is offered, I'm just not sure of the time period).
    In other words, it is unlikely that anything you purchase now would be eligible when Leopard is released.
    However, the full "retail" version of OS X is only $129; that's all it would cost to upgrade when the time comes (of course, pricing for Leopard could be different, but probably not by much).
    Regardless of all this, it doesn't make sense that you would base your buying decision on whether or not you would get a free copy of Leopard. Either OS X is what you want, or it's not. While Leopard will have some new features, it is still OS X, and Tiger is already way better than anything else.
    Do you have some specific reservations concerning Tiger that you think would be addressed in Leopard?

  • Can we play bluray disc in macbook pro

    I am planning to buy a macbook pro. Can we play blue ray disc on the macbook. If no, is there any other mac model which plays bluray

    Dear Mr. Srinivasan
    1st-this forum is for Mac Pro (the big desktop Machine,not portable)-a common mistake.
    2nd-no. due to licencing/technical issues and stubbornness on Apple's part, that's the answer. You can try with VLC or 3rd party software, plus an external Blu-Ray drive, but out of the box, no.
    all the best to you
