Just got a new mac pro and can't manage to set a password and keep it. It keeps telling me I have the wrong password. I want to start over and I can't even get back in to do this bc it won't take any of my passwords. How can I start over completely?
You got a new laptop? try asking there or in Lion forum.
If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.
Want MacBook Pro forum or Lion Community?
MacBook Pro
Lion Mac OS X Communities
New, as in from Apple, it would have asked for full setup.
Want to reset the password? (it is used then I'd wipe it clean and start over)

Since downloading osx v10.7lion every time i try to connect to the internet using BT Broadband i keep getting a message saying
" you cant openthe application ) because Power PC applications are no longer supported." this is very annoying as i likeBT and the way it opens with all the local up to date news plus other apps +++
Please can anyone help me as apple will not help unless i sign up for a new product agreement which i cannot understand as every thing worked before this so called very latest software that everyone cant do without ?????I had the same problem with some apps and printer setup software. SInce Rosetta has been discontinued on Lion my only solution was to restore to 10.6 since the manufacturers either have not yet or will not release updated apps. In this case you have to determine how important those old PPC apps are to keep around and if there alternitives that are available to replace the functionality. I would expect a broadband provider to update thier apps if it is something that is required to connect.

My ebook reader no longer works now I have upgraded to Lion. I have reset the PRAM and tried booting in 32-bit mode, all with no joy. Come on Apple, it worked fine with Snow Leopard.
I see a lot of other people are having trouble with ebook readers, cameras, and other USB devices too.....antonfromnelson wrote:

Sorry, you're not talking to Apple here only other users like yourself.
Someone might be able to help if you post which e-book reader you are using?

My laptop keeps shutting down to a square box with writing that says, you must restart your computer. Use the start up key and hold it down. athen it has some writing looks like german or dutch also in the box. The first time it did this, I updated to Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1 and I reset the pram and it worked fine for about 5 days. Then it started doing the same thing, but this time resetting the pram doesnt work for repair, and I also cant start up in safe mode now. Any ideas what happened, or suggestion on a fix for this?????

I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overall performance?
The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter. -
I cannot open itunes store from my iphone 4s. When I press the application icon it seems to be open at first but then automatically return to the main menu. What can be the problem?
Logout of the app store and iTunes store: Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Go back to home screen and reset the phone by pressing the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears then release them.
Once phone has finished rebooting go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store and login with your Apple ID and password again. Then open the iTunes Store app again. -
Got a new Mac Pro 2008 - need to install an Airport card
Hello all,
To ensure quickest delivery I opted for the standard config new Mac Pro 8 core (early 2008). I did the same with my G5 4 years ago an installed an Airport Extreme card (with some difficulty !). Apparently the card in my G5 is not compatible with the Mac Pro. I cannot find any official reference to installing an Airport Extreme card in a Mac Pro…just a couple of 'hacks'. Apparently Apple doesn't want users to do this anymore.
Q1/ What card do I need ?
Q2/ I see 3 antenna connections labelled 1, 2 and 3 on the cables. One is for Bluetooth apparently…but which one ?
Would very much appreciate any help.
thanks in advance
PAkura,
I ordered my Mac Pro with standard conf for the same reasons you did. I also discovered, as you did, that the newest Mac Pro required a different airport card and that installing the card doesn't appear to be user-friendly. I since found the following web site which presented installation procedure:
http://meanderingpassage.com/2007/07/18/how-to-installing-an-airport-extreme-car d-in-an-intel-mac-pro/
I also was able to order the correct card (part number MB363Z/A) through a local Mac reseller although I see that it is available from other sources including Amazon (will ship from J&R).
I ordered the card yesterday but the dealer said that it was in stock and would take a few days to arrive so I have yet to actually install it.
Having installed airport cards on a number of other Macs I've owned, it is baffling that Apple would make this so darned difficult and awkward. In retrospect I should have ordered it as a build and had Apple install it but it is what it is.
Hope this helps - -
New Mac Pro: What are You using to connect your eSATA external drives to you nMacPro?
Hi,
I have some eSATA external HDs that I would like to use with my 2013 New Mac Pro.
I was just wondering what other have been using to connect their nMPs to eSATA devices and how well it has worked. I have seen a USB3 to eSATA cable from NewEgg.... which seems like a good idea ... if it will work.
Thanks!LaCie TB HUB has two TB ports which is good for daisy chain. Has two esata ports also. I connect a Voyager bought from OWC to one sata port and that's where my bare 2.5 and 3.5 hard drives reside when I need them. The other sta port has a Pioneer 207 blu ray drive. When I sleep my 2013 Mac Pro I turn off the power to the Voyager and the Pioneer. All work flawlessly.

New Mac Pro - need to run using 10.4 operating system
I need to run a UNIX based program (Gaussian) on a new Mac Pro. According to the Gaussian website (http://www.gaussian.com/gbrochures/g03_onmacs.htm) their program is only supported for Intel systems running on 10.4 OS (and not 10.5). Is it possible to purchase a new mac running 10.4, or alternatively how easy is it to downgrade the 10.5 OS to 10.4?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
RobGaussian sure is a blast from the past! In my previous life I did some work with Gaussian 88 and our typical runs lasted about 12 hours each. When the MFLOPS gods were with us, we could do one in about 6 hours on the Cray X-MP down in Austin. It's quite amazing that this can now be done on the computer sitting under my desk!
As far as your question goes, it looks like you will have to wait for Gaussian to build a Leopard compatible version for Intel-based Macs. In the mean time, I have read that it's possible to install SuSe Linux on a Mac Pro on a separate partition. Assuming that your license allows you to use the Linux binary, it might be possible to use it. You would have to reboot to do a Gaussian run, so it's not the most elegant solution, but it's the only way I can see it working.
Good luck with your number crunching! -
My large monitor is not showing the screen of my MAC airbook on it. All cables are hooked up. I reset the pram per the instructions I received at the MAC store and the monitor is still not working. Message on blacked out monitor says"check signal cable". All cables are attached and monitor and MAC are both plugged into power source...Help ?
Go to System Preferences, Display. Click on dectect displays.

I always turn on my computer first thing in morning to see if any important e-mail comes through and since it's at least another hour before I get to work, the computer goes to sleep. Well, yesterday, the display wouldn't wake up and stayed black. I called Apple Tech support and the nice guy on the phone walked me through resetting the internal power and zapping the PRAM. I had no problems for the rest of the day. THis morning, the same thing happened after it went to sleep for the first time during the day after having been started up. THis time I knew what to do, but I'm dreading the same thing happening. Any reason why this is and is there anything else I should do? It's a 2011 MacBook Pro and runs Snow Leopard (10.6.7).
I am having the similar issue. I will open my powered up machine, and I will the display will turn on for a few seconds then it seems to go right back to sleep. I need to close the lid and reopen it again and the display comes back. Today after it came back on 2 minutes later it happened again.

HT1712 Resetting the PRAM and the apple screen???
How long does it take to load back up after resetting the pram? It's been on the gray apple screen for some time now.
1.) Under Energy Saver: I specified not to ever put my computer to sleep, however, there is a checkbox for putting the hard disks to sleep when possible. What is the difference?
One's the computer (i.e., the operatinng system stored in memory), the other controls the physical HDs.
2.) After specifying not to put my computer sleep, I went to the login screen using fast user switching and there is still a sleep button on the login window. I am guessing that this is to put the computer to sleep and not the display.
Probably. As I stated earlier, I don't use FUS, so don't know its functioning WRT to sleeping.
How can I put the display to sleep at the login window? I want to make sure that it at the login window so if I leave the computer I do not need to worry about anyone waking up the display and having access to it.
AFAIK, you can't. Waking up the display doesn't give access to the computer when it's at the login window. If you could put it into a state wherein you couldn't wake the display, how do you suspect that you'd be able to login yourself?
This is all I have time for today. If these replies helped/fixed your problem, please mark them appropriately. Good computing. -
Hi...please help me. I just got a Mac Pro yesterday and did not set up a password at apple now it is asking me for one to download flash player plug in. what can i do?

What I think you are talking about is a user name and password for an Apple ID.
Apple IDs use a email address and a password you create for that email address on Apples website.
There should be a link on whatever page you are on to Create an Apple ID. Click that link.
Or just open App Store from the link on you Dock then Find the link to create an Apple ID.
Absolutely not. You can create a blank password. Yes it's stupid. Yes it's unsafe. But from helping people with their Macs, I find most do not set up a password. <facepalm> -
Just got a new mac pro - flashing question mark and more...
I wonder if anyone can help me solve this problem. i just bought a mac pro, turned it on and a flashing question mark blinked on the screen. i got on my mac book to search apple.com for the problem and it said to boot with the install disk and hold the c key. i did all that and now i cannot take out the disk. i'm still unable to select a startup disk either. i currently have a mac g5 and loved it but it is old am really surprised with having this problem. can anyone help?
If it's new and it does that, it's very likely a loose component. If you feel comfortable doing so, open the case, and make sure that the RAM is firmly seated in its sockets and the drive cables firmly connected to the drives and the circuit board. Also check the power cables to the drives.
Depending on how the computer was handled in transit, these things can get jostled loose, and loose RAM or cabling will give you what you observe.
The other possibility is an outright hardware fault. Though rare, there's always hardware that resides in the tail of the service-life bell-curve due to some manufacturing / material defect. Apple is historically excellent about replacing same. You need to contact AppleCare or bring the unit to an Apple store or authorized repair center.
