I recently brought a macbook pro `15inch from the new zealand equilivant to ebay. Everything was fine until I realised that i could no longer install the application iLife as it was registered to the person who had originally purchased it! what can i do?

What can I do to redeem it apart from purchasing an external hard drive?
Thanks.

That may or may not work with a Previously registered Mac. Worth a try but in the end the OP may have to contact Apple directly by phone.

  • Can not change the Apple ID email address of the person who had computer before me. Email box is un-editable

    Can not change the Apple ID email address of the person who had computer before me. Email box is un-editable & I wish to use my own account not previous owners.

    If you're trying to update an application, you need to delete it and then download it from your Apple ID. You may want to erase the internal drive and install a fresh OS.

  • Is it possible for me and i'm from egypt to order a macbook pro online from the usa store ?

    is it possible for me and i'm from egypt to order a macbook pro online from the usa store and have it shipped to me to egypt cause the egyptian store has no online ordering ?

    I believe you need a USA attached credit card. The easiest way is to ask. This is a user to user forum. You are not talking to Apple here.

    The answer is, either you are not telling us the whole story, or something else has changed.  Perhaps your iPad is jealous of your iPod and is secretly forcing your iPod to reset it self.  And if you believe that, I have this bridge for sale....
    Now where is my tin-foil hat.....

  • Lost bookmarks, cookies and history when I moved the Folder 'Users' from the C disk to D disk. What can I do to retrieve them intact?

    Hi voyant
    I would put the Users folder back... moving it will cause a lot of issues with applications.
    Instead you can just copy individual files/folders from C:\Users\your_username\Documents,Pictures,Music.... to your D drive to save space on C.

  • I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers.  Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

    I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine.  Yesterday I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion.  Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?  

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • Macbook pro fell from the dining Table

    Hi guys
    My daughter just dropped my macbook pro from the dining table to the floor .
    The Macbook was on at the time when it fell, i quickly picked it up, but heard noises coming out from near the DVD drive.
    Since then the macbook is really slow, takes ages to start and keeps processing constantly.
    Browsing is slugglish! there is a delay in typing and browsing using mouse etc.
    Having read some posts already, i am begining to think that its the hard disk that seems to have gone.
    I tried running some hardware, but it froze after 59 secs so had to restart again.
    Can someone please help me in terms of checking or what i could do to  just ensure that its the hard disk and nothing else? Since this is accidental damage, which isnt covered under the warranty, can someone advise which HD would be best to replace it with? what does apple use?

    Instead of running the Repair Disk routine in Disk Utility, you can start up in Single User Mode and run fsck:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    That will repair the hard drive directory if the drive is in good mechanical order, possibly resolving the ballkiness mentioned in your first post. If the drive has suffered any damage in the fall, directory and file corruption may return quickly. I recommend backing up the hard drive ASAP if the machine will run long enough to do it.
    You can try running Apple Hardware Test without the Applications disc. If you have a unibody MBP and your hard drive has never been reformatted, it may work:

  • HT201441 I bought an ipad from a pawnshop and its linked to a previous owners apple ID. They said that they can't find the person to get their password. What can I do, or is it now just a paperweight?

    I recently bought an iPad from a pawnshop and when I go to set it up it keeps asking me to sign in with a previous owners ID and password. How can I bypass this, as the person is no longer reachable to get the password from. Please tell me this isn't a paperweight now?!

    Without their password you have a brick. You should take it back to the shop, who shouldn't have sold it to you in this condition.

  • My iPad won't turn off. It won't turn on either. It keeps going from the apple to a black screen. What can I do?

    I can't get it to turn off. It just keeps going back and forth from the apple to the blank screen.

    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You use this method when the iPad is not being recognized in iTunes. This will totally erase the device, but if you restore on the computer that you normally sync with, you can restore from your backup when you are done - but only if you have a backup.
    You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • My iphone switches from the carrier network to no service.  What can I do?

    I have a brand new unlocked Iphone 4s.  I took it to my carrier, T Mobile, to activate the sim card.  The phone now will fluctuate between T Mobile and No Service.  I have read that something may be wrong with the antenna.  Any suggestions?  If the phone does not improve by Mon. (3 days from now), I am taking it to a repair shop.

    Hi KIA SHA, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that it must be very frustrating that you are receiving no service after upgrading your iPhone. In this situation I would recommend working through the steps provided in the attached article. 
    If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad
    Cheers, 
    Joe

  • Once a Itouch is found and locked by ICloud can it be unlocked by the person who has "Stolen" it?

    Once a Itouch is found and locked by ICloud can it be unlocked by the person who has "Stolen" it?

    They can reset it to factory condition. Lockin prevents them accessing your data: but they can effectively wipe the device clean and it's then usable and untraceable.
