Bought new MBP, but there is no cd/dvd in the box

Hi,
today I bought a new MBP 15", and there is no software cd/dvd inside of the box...
there were the small "hello" book, and a screeen clean pad, but no cd...
is this normal or just a mistake?

Even if I found this unpractical in many instances, e.g. in case of erase-and-install, Apple engineering say this is the future. You are entitled to Lion, which may be re-downloaded any time you wish, You may also copy it unto an external disc or flash drive, and use it from there.

  • Hi. I am reinstalling Macbook Pro OS X from the "question mark icon". During process, there is a question "select the disk where to install Mac OS X" but there is no option/selection in the box. I really need your help guys. I need it badly. :'(

    Hi. I am reinstalling Macbook Pro OS X from the "question mark icon". During process, there is a question "select the disk where to install Mac OS X" but there is no option/selection in the box. I really need your help guys. I need it badly. :'(

    If you got the question mark and you do not see any partition to install OS X to, it is not good.
    Close the OS X installer by pressing the red button at the top left corner of the Install OS X window, and open Disk Utility. Then, look at the left sidebar and tell me if you see your hard drive. You should see something like this:
    Do not worry if you do not see Macintosh HD or if the option with an arrow shows a different name. This is normal.
    If you see it, choose it, go to the Erase tab and erase the drive. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. You will lose everything if you do not have a backup.
    If you do not see the drive, it is damaged and it has to be replaced. You can replace the hard drive of a MacBook Pro without voiding the warranty, and any 2'5" SATA hard drive is valid. If you are not an experienced user or you do not want to go inside the MacBook, take it to an Apple Store or reseller.

  • Installed a new battery but there is a black X on the battery icon

    My battery my Early 2011 MacBook Pro was expanding so I bought a new battery and replaced it myself.
    I turned my MacBook Pro on and it works, but there is a black X on the battery icon. When I check the battery information on the System Profiler, it says there is no battery installed, BUT, when I press ALT and click on the battery icon in the top right corner, it says "Condition: Normal".
    Can someone tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix this?

    Thank you BUT this would be for a completely different Mac. My MacBook Pro is the type where there is no removable battery on the outside. I had to open mine up to change the battery.
    I bought the new battery on eBay and am going to get it resolved with the seller, and if he doesn't refund me or replace it, then I will claim the eBay Money Back Guarantee.
    Hopefully someone has advice for me still.

  • There is no serial number on the box!

    I have bought a new computer and am trying to install a less than two years old Photoshop Elements 11 on my new computer.
    There is no serial number on the box.
    I didn't register it when I bought it, even if I have an Adobe account.
    I can't register without a serial number, it's a catch 22-situation.
    But somehow I managed to install it on my old computer.
    The chat support sucks! We chatted for an hour, they got the issue nowhere, and then the closed the chat support and just left. Just a waste of my time ...
    Right now I starting to hate Adobe. Please help my to not get there ...
    How do I find the serial number to install it on my new computer?

    Find your serial number quickly
    You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past.  The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box.  If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software.

  • Before Mac OS X lion install I had over 50% free hard drive space on new MBP, but now my hard drive is full without me doing anything! How do I fix this??? Or should I just revert to Snow Leopard???

    Sounds like the Time Machine Local Backup.  Try turning Time Machine Off in System Preferences to verify.
    See: OS X Lion: About Time Machine's "local snapshots" on portable Macs
    But, your real problem is
    I forgot to mention that I tried to use Disk Utility to Verify Disk, but it cannot. I get red errors that say the MacHD is corrupt and needs to be repaired. It says that in order to do this I need to use the Disk Utility on the install disk, but Lion doesn't have one!
    Boot into Lion's Recovery (Hold ⌘R on Boot), select Disk Utility and then select Macintosh HD and click [Repair Disk]

  • I have an apple developer account to make a new app, but I need to give access to the designer without sharing my payment info or allowing him to have access to my icloud, apps or itunes account. There is some way to have another password?

    I have an apple developer account to make a new app, but I need to give access to the designer without sharing my payment info or allowing him to have access to my icloud, apps or itunes account. There is some way to have another password?

    The designer is usually someone who just handles the user interface portion of the code. The developer would handle core functionality. I assumed you were the developer and the designer was the designer. You are the client and your "designer" is the developer.
    Ideally, you should create a business account so that you can add someone to your team. That is the way it is supposed to work. Otherwise, you will have to ask for the final source code so that you can build and submit the app yourself. You should always have the source code regardless. You should always perform the submission under your own account too. Otherwise, it is the developer's app, not yours.
    Sharing accounts is against the Apple Developer agreement anyway. The App Store Gold Rush is over. Now it is mostly zombie apps and competing fraudsters. You don't want to give someone access to your iTunes account. You really don't want to give someone access to your bank account either.
    The best solution would be to convert your account to a business account. You may be able to have the developer submit the app and then transfer it to you.

  • Have bought new ipad but now cannot access app store in old i pad

    My original i pad was registered to my old email address which is no longer in use.    I am now with sky and when I purchased a new ipad recently and registered my sky e mail address and inserted a new password.   I can now log onto apple.com with my laptop and my new ipad.   However when I try to update my apps or download a new app on my original i pad up pops  the box to insert my password with the old e mail address.   I have tried the old password and the new password (which will only work with my sky email).   I have read on this forum that it is possible to erase all content and settings.   If i do this will it erase the old e mail address.   I don't want to erase everything and then not be able to install any apps.

    Thanks for your reply.  I think I  created a new apple id on my new ipad.   Bear with me as I am a "silver surfer" as they say. 
    I did what you advised go to settings>store>apple id.  Signed out and created my new apple id with the new password that was created on my new ipad
    Now my apple id is my new sky email address and I can log in with these.
    But still when I try to update apps it still states my apple id as my old email address
    I dont mind if i lose everything as there is not that much to lose.   I just wanted to keep the old ipad for my grandchildren as they use a lot of the game apps but obviously not much good if I cannot download any new apps
    Also to confuse matters and to find out if it solved anything  I clicked  settings apple id  i forgot and typed in my email address they stated that an email would be sent  but nothing arrives which makes me think they are sending to my old e mail address.  
    Also when I want to download an app on my new ipad it does not prompt me to put in a password.  
    From what you say should all of my apps on my old ipad have been automatically been transferred to my new ipad - but perhaps not if the email addresses were different on each one.
    I have i haven't confused you - should i just reset - i think it would make it easier for me anyway.
    Thanks again

    There may be a solution but I doubt that the trouble will be worth the dollar that you'll gain.
