You do not need to "sign up" for downloading updates. Just run Software Update and let it access them directly thru the App Store.

  • I have just bought a macbook pro and i want to use an ext hard drive with it which i previously used on a windows computer, but when i plug it in it doesn't show up on my macbook pro, I've wiped it and just need to format it but don't know how, help

    Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
    Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen.

    lower your font size unless you have difficulty
    MS Security Essentials is excellent
    Then again maybe time to investigate Windows 8 RP (which uses Defender)

  • When I try to sign into my iMessage account, it pops up 'could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again'. I've checked my connection and it works perfectly. What can I do?

    You could try going into settings then messages and seeing if you have it turned on. You will need to use your apple ID then, hope that helps.

  • HT4623 How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes

    How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes.
    There does not appeare to be any doenloadable files in the download section.

    "Well that's totally unacceptable."
    Actually you can only accept it, as it is the way it is.  You may not like it, but it is so.  Sorry.
    " your seriously telling me that Apple expect me to download the same huge file 8 TIMES"
    That is exactly what I am telling you.
    " No way."
    Still true.
    "Apple are going to have to come up with another solution."
    No.  They do not have to do any such thing.  They may choose to do so in the future, but there is no reason to believe that they will.

  • Bought used macbook pro old user's id keeps appearing in update software and greyed out so i can't change it to mine

    Used macbook pro late 2011 model, under the 'Apple' when i clik 'update software' it goes to apple site with greyedout previous user's email address asking for their password, not my newly registered macpro and appleid.  How can I change this as previous user has now unregistered laptop?  upgraded to maverick os.

    What you are entitled to is the MBP and the original OS that the MBP came with which is Lion and the associated applications. 
    In order to install Lion, you will have to boot your MBP with the OPTION COMMAND R keys held down.  That will connect you to the Apple servers and they will check your MBP.  A 4 option menu will appear.  Select the Lion installation option and install Lion. 
    Now your MBP will be registered in your name and you may open your own Apple account.  If you want Mt. Lion, then you will have to purchase it from the Apple online store.

  • I have two different iCloud accounts. I can't sign into photo stream with my personal account and have tried deleting from my iPhone first, then the MacBook Pro. Still won't let me sign in with the personal account. Please help.

    I have two different iCloud accounts - business and personal. I can't sign into Photo Stream with my personal account because it says my business account is my primary account. They are separate but equal accounts. I have tried deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone, then my MacBook Pro and signing in again on both devices. The iPhone says that my primary account ismy personal account (which is good) but my MacBook Pro still will not sign into that account so I can use Photo Stream.
    Any suggestions? This iCloud stuff is getting annoying.

  • Since the update today to 3.6.17 when I click to open a new tab it does not open

    the plus sign to the right of the open tab{s] no longer works since the update. Is this intentional or just a bug? It is the same on both my pcs running firefox.

    Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. Many users have reported the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' causes Firefox to not open new tabs. It is the responsibility of Ask to fix the problem with their toolbar.

  • System folder still here but preference system does not recognize it

    Hi,
    I have just installed Tiger on my eMac and now classic won't start. It first tells me that classic preferences cannot save or read the preferences and then, as a second message, that the "system folder" is not available and ask me to use another system folder to run classic.
    I tried re-installing Mac Os 9 with the non-bootable software restore CD that came with the computer but the result is exactly the same.
    I am losing it. Is there a solution or shall I say goodbye to classic once and for all and put it in the trash?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi, Mandianne. The second post by "Tatie" in this thread tells how s/he solved your problem.
    Another, much simpler tip you may want to try first, before going to the trouble of an Archive and Install, is this: open the Classic pane of System Preferences and click the Start/Stop tab in that pane. If your OS 9 System Folder appears in the small box under "Select a System Folder for Classic", select it. Then click the "Start"button below it and see whether Classic now starts up properly. I don't know for certain, but it seems possible that when you installed Tiger, this important link between OS X and the System Folder that you want it to use for Classic may not have been carried over successfully from a prior OS X installation, or (if you had no OS X installed before Tiger) it needed to be made for the the first time before you tried to start Classic.

  • When i bought my macbook pro, apple said i was eligible for the mountain lion software. but when i was putting in my information to check whether or not i could upgrade, i accidentally put in the wrong apple id. and now i don't know what to do.

    Now i have no way of checkng whether or not i can upgrade to Mountain Lion. What do i do now.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    pmset -g assertions
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).

  • I have a MacBook pro 13 early 2011 model. For some reason it stopped working and everytime I try to start it up it beeps and does nothing. Did it happen to someone else. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

    My Mac won't start, all it does is beep and I don't know what's wrong

    Most likely a RAM issue.
    How many beeps?
    Click here >  Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
