You need to contact Apple and transfer that computer, the serial number, into your name and your Apple ID. Then you should be able to update the included Apple Apps from the App store. No need to Re-buy them again.
Caveat to the above.
If your Mac did not originally come with Lion Preinstalled, early releases of early 2011 models and older, and originally had Snow Leopard installed the original owner should of supplied the Mac OS X System Discs with the system. If that person didn't you should order them from Apple at a small fee, and don't lose them.

I have stored everything on my Macbook pro in a external hard drive (Time Machine) Now that we have "wiped the machine" I am told I can start it over and load ontent--apps, docs, etc from the hard drive, just plug it in, find the time machine and what? I need to know what to highligh, what to click on.
hirogliffix,
take a look at this Apple page — in particular, the “Restoring data from Time Machine backups” section and its “Restoring your entire system from a backup” subsection. -
My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?
I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good... -
just got my MacBook Pro and I'm having trouble opening up certain websites, it just keeps scrolling and scrolling and never opens up the page....this is not the case with all websites, however my 7 year old desk top - which is connected to the same wireless Internet connection opened up the same page right away, so I don't think it's the Internet, any suggestions?
Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated. Repair permissions and restart your computer when done.
Not sure if your new Mac came with 10.7.2 pre-installed as you make no mention of your os system. -

Got replacement MacBook Pro from Apple and now CS2 won't work. Help!
After a long story of woe, which is too long to get into now, Apple ended up replacing my near-dead two-year old computer with a new MacBook Pro. (Yay, Apple!) They imaged my old drive, and put it on the new computer, including the applications. I transferred over my CS2 Suite, but now I'm getting Space Monkey, and my Illustrator will start loading and then shut itself down. Since I got the original CS2, I've moved and moved and moved again, and the disks are no where to be found.
Does anyone have any advice about how to get the CS2 Suite up and running again? Am I going to have to call Adobe and plead my case with them for a new install file?
Help! I have so many files that I need to access.Your best option is to reinstall it, and if you don't have the discs you'll need to contact Adobe.
Otherwise, since CS is not an Apple product, and your issues are not with an Apple product, you should post further questions regarding CS on Adobe's own forums at: http://www.adobeforums.com -
Hello everyone... I've being having trouble with my macbook pro... and someone suggested that I might wanna restore it to it's factory settings... I'm wondering if it's better just to erase it and reinstall all, the only problem is that I don't know how to do neither... any suggestions? thanks
Just a minor point. iOS 5.0.1 would never be on a Mac. You might want to fix that on your profile.
Here you go. -
Transfer macbook pro to another user
How do I transfer my Macbook Pro to my son so he can use his own Apple ID. Right now, it comes up with all my settings. I tried re-installing the OS. But, It still requires my own Apple ID and retains my apps etc.
Thank you.It's possible that the water caused your hard drive directory to be corrupted when the logic board shorted out. You may want to try repairing the now-external drive with Disk Utility's Repair Disk routine. If it reports making any repairs, run it repeatedly until it reports that the disk "appears OK". Then try Migration Assistant again.
If that fails, then perhaps the disk itself was damaged by the spill. You could go one step farther and try using data recovery software on the drive:
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id= 1
http://download.cnet.com/VirtualLab-Data-Recovery/3000-2094_4-10298807.html
All three recovery utilities come in demo versions that will show you what the full version could recover before you have to pay for anything.
Good luck. -
I am unable to update iphoto, imovie, and Garageband on my Macbook Pro. I understand that these apps are part of ilife suite. Purchased Macbook at Best Buy January 2012. All software is updated. I recieve message asking me to sign into account that I purchased these apps from. I am signed in , however I did not purchase these apps they came on Macbook. I also tried deleting Garageband and re-installing it. Now Garageband says accept but Macbook will not accept. Anyone else have this problem and were you able to resolve it.
The fact that they were preinstalled is why they are supposed to appear in the Purchased pane, in a temporary area labeled Purchases, for you to accept. Not doing so soon after you got the Mac has messed this process up.
To get things back on track properly try these steps;
Updating Pre-installed iLife apps -
1 - Log out and quit iTunes and the Mac App Store (MAS)
2 - Go to System Prefs/Users & Groups/~user/Password and enter the Apple ID connected to your iTunes/Mac App Store account. Close Sys Prefs
3 - Delete /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
4 - Reboot your Mac
5 - Open Mac App Store
6 - Go to the Purchased pane and Accept the three iLife apps. Enter iTunes/MAS username/password if prompted. -
When I bought my new iPhone, I stopped getting iMessages to my computer. Before I got my 5S, iMessages came straight through to my Mac, as well as my phone. Now they only go to my phone. How can this be fixed? I am using a MacBook Pro (Retina) which is up-to-date with all software updates.
Any help would be greatly appreciated . Thank you!Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

My mom has a brand new Macbook Pro which was set up at the Apple Store and now she cannot get it to accept her log in info. What should she do next?
Thank you sig--it seems in talking to her on the phone that she was not giving me the info correctly and she couldn't get into her bank account, NOT the computer. The computer is fine she was just frustrated with the bank's system and feeling alone with no help handy...
I appreciate your reply. Thank you. -
I'm Lost!!! I Downloaded Music and now its not on my phone or computer!!! What have I done or need to do!?
I think you can still save that music that you imported from CD to your computer and later suscribe to iTunes Match so that content is also sync in the subscription. I found this article that show you how to transfer those purchases from the iPad to the computer :
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
Hope it helps at least a little. -
I have a LG HBS-700 bluetooth stereo headset and "in order to access Multi-Connection mode, at least one of the two devices you are trying to connect to the HBS-700 must be able to select a profile, OR one of the two devices must only support one profile (Either Headset/Hands-Free or A2DP/AVRCP). For example: Two handsets which support both the Headset/Hands-Free and A2DP/AVRCP profiles cannot be connected to the HBS-700 simultaneously. But, one handset supporting Headset/Hands-Free/A2DP/AVRCP and a Bluetooth Stereo Dongle supporting only A2DP/AVRCP is OK".
Backup your computer. You may have to replace the HD.
Try repairing disk.
