I wiped my Mac book Pro about 45 days by mistake ago and then when I started it up again after my apple ID wouldn't work on anything on my mac i.e. Aps store sign in, I tunes Sign in etc... can anyone help? I dont know what to do...
On the itunes store it says error 5002

I had an issue where I had to wipe my mac as well. What you have to do to format the hard drive and reinstall is this:
Restart the computer while holding down the option key. Choose the recovery disc. Find the main hard disc and hit format. Then you can reinstall Lion via the internet, it takes a while though, my computer took 5 hours or so.
For your first question, if you got the family version of office, I believe you have 3 computers you can authorize it on. If you are not sure, look it up in the apple store.
For the second: Time machine would probably be your best option, but I would reccomend restoring from a backup before you were having problems, and restore that one (put new files you need on another external or a digital-online storeage site such as dropbox.) To restore a backup, restart your computer and hold command+R and select "Restore from Time Machine Backup" (for more information go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 )
I don't believe tere is anything else you need to do, but I am new to macs, so I may not be the best source, but this is what I have found/have had to do.

  • I had formatted my mac book pro few days back

    I had formatted my mac book pro few days back & before doing so i had copied the iphoto library & backed it up on a external hard drive. After formatting i installed the mountain lion & i see there was no iPhoto so i had to buy & download again. Once done with this i copied the iphoto library into the picture folder & also did open it with the iphoto. This is about 25 gb og my photos. So thn i deleted the backup in the external hard drive. But now today after couple of days i open my iphoto & i see no photos at all, there is absoulety nothing. dont know where all my photos are gone . & i have deleted my trash couple of times in the last few days. Is there any way to retierive these photos.I am lost.. n totally heart broken. Please help.

    No
    And there was no reason to pruchase iPhoto again - it comes with yooru computer and could have been installed form the original source
    since you have no backup the only possible way to recover your photos (but not your iPhoto library) is disk recovery software like file salvage
    Not having a backup means that you are 100% Guarenteed to lose all of yoru files including your photos sooner or later - thingk do happen - in fact one probably just did - you must always have good backups (I have three) if your photos and files are important to you

  • Mac Book Pro -  About this computer.

    Just bought a Mac Book Pro with the updated 500GB Solid State Drive.
    This information does not appear in the Apple Menu - About This Mac.  Is there a way to find this info on the computer.

    Did you click on the More Info button?
    in the Hardware list, did you try clicking on Serial-ATA?

    I`ve just bought a Mac Book pro 15", did the required updates and since two days ago it freezes. Now I can´t even start the computer. the screen is allways white. how can I solve this issue??

    The same thing happened to me... Since two days the ******* thing keeps freezing after a while. Then I try to reboot and the screen goes white and it doesn't boot. If I wait like half an hour it boots again.
    I thought it was a hardware problem, but the Apple Hardware Test founds nothing at all. I think it has to do with the software update I performed 2 days ago.

  • I have a Mac book pro on vesion 10.6.8 and want to access icloud as it works great on my iphone 4.  Not sure best way to upgrade as some of the review of Lion on the appstore are awful.  Any advice

    I have a Mac book pro on vesion 10.6.8 and want to access icloud as it works great on my iphone 4.  Not sure best way to upgrade as some of the review of Lion on the appstore are awful.  Any advice as I also have MIcrosoft word etc and don't want to have to purchase these again.

    That is the best list ever for Lion compatibility!
    You can also do this:
    Launch the programs you know and love on your Snow Leopard Mac.
    Utilities --> Activity Monitor
    Under the "Kind" tab it will identify the programs running PowerPC, Intel and Intel 64.
    No PowerPC apps will run under Lion.
    Don't worry about Apple's system stuff like Mail, iCal, Safari.
    Don't worry about the system processes, like fontd and launchd, those will be replaced if you go to Lion.
    Just look for the programs that you need.

    Hello skkmmayer,
    That is probably a lot of stuff you do not want on your iPhone. So this can be handled a few different was. For you current situation, you can delete the apps directly on your iPhone by holding on the app until it starts to jiggle and then tap on the X of all the apps that you do not want. The second thing you can do is before you sync with iTunes, look at the app section on your iPhone to know what gets transfer to it and you can deselect items that you do not want. Lastly, if you download content on your iPad and it is a universal app, you can actually download it directly to your iPhone by looking at your past purchases and download it directly from the App Store. Check out the articles below for more information if need further assistance.

    There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
    The issue your having is with the way Keynote  takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
    Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
    If you want to show a wesite or another app on  either display,  use application switcher:
    press the the  command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command  > tab to return to Keynote.

  • I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this?

    I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this? It bugs me when I'm looking at real estate.

    I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
    When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

  • On my Mac Book Pro I have 18 groups of contact. When I synchronize, on my iPod touch I have 7 groups?

    On my Mac Book Pro I have 18 groups of contact. When I synchronize, on my iPod touch I have 7 groups?
    Why? How to correct?

    As I hinted.. dropouts of wireless are not unusual at all on the AC model.. and AFAIK there is not much in the way of a fix.
    The ipad might be using 2.4ghz which will work better than 5ghz.
    Do a full factory reset of the TC.
    Give it all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Including a different name for the 5ghz band. I want to try and force bands to see if it is only 5ghz giving trouble.
    Then set channels for the 2.4ghz.. try in turn, 11, 6, 1 in that order.
    Setting bands for 5ghz does nothing apparently..
    Join the MBP to the 2.4ghz and see if it suffers the same problems.. if so that is not it..
    Then I think you might need to check the MBP as it might have issues.. did you upgrade install Mavericks? Did the issue exist before mavericks if you did upgrade?

  • I have recently been knocked over whilst carrying my mac book pro, the screen is now damaged and it wont charge at all... would apple replace it ?

    i have recently been knocked over whilst carrying my mac book pro, the screen is now damaged and it wont charge at all... would apple replace it ?
    i have tried buying a new charger incase this was the problem, it wasnt, it just wont icharge/turn on at all, im just wondering would apple replace it, as  am a student and need a computer and this is my only one?

    Sorry no Apple will not replace it. What happened was an accident and the Apple warranty does not cover accidental damages.
    So it looks like you will need to buy a new computer or pay to have your Mac fixed.

  • I have a HD video clip (MPEG 4), able to watch in VLC in my Mac-book-pro, but not in Quicktime player and FCP X - just seen as full green. Help please to view in FCP X by changing the format or what ever thats required.

    I have a HD video clip (MPEG 4), able to watch in VLC in my Mac-book-pro, but not in Quicktime player and FCP X - just seen as full green. Help please to view in FCP X by changing the format or what ever thats required.  Thank you.

    Thanks for your reply. This video was recorded by my own professional camera, Sony PMW EX 3, two years back. But I am neither a professional cameraman nor an editor. I am just like a beginner in both.  I didnt have space in my storage device, so I just copied all my clips, thinking I can edit it latter, without recompressing or editing or whatever I should have done it at that point of time.  Now I need to edit it and use it in my profession. I am very upset.  Please help me in going step by step to get it in FCP X for editing.  Also I would like to know, do I need to buy the Compressor 4 for any reason. I dont mind in buying, if you think it is going to be useful for some reason.  Thank you very much in anticipation for any kind of proper guidance.

  • Hi, I bought a new Mac Book Pro, very high spec, installed Lion and now the machine is slow, glitchy. how do i wipe it and put Leopard back on it? any help would be great..?

    Hi,
    I bought a new Mac Book Pro a couple of months ago the new model, very high spec, i7 processor, 500g solid state drive, 8 gig of ram. all in all a very fast machine. however, i foolishly downloaded OS X Lion and as soon as i did i noticed a considerable difference in the machine basically its ground to a halt, its now slow glitchy programs shut down and crash. I'm new to Mac and in reminded of life in the world of Windows....! any suggestions should i wipe Lion off the machine and re install Leopard? any help would be appreciated..
    Liam

    Surely you meant to say that there was nothing in Lion you would prefer over !10.6! - Lion is 10.7.
    As for what might be sapping your machines juice - have you run Activity Monitor yet? I always enable 'All Processes' and sort it by %CPU usage if i want to know whats cooking.
    In addition to the list Disk Activity might give a hint.
    If you are quite low on available disk space it might also be that osx is constantly swapping - best to keep a few GB of free space for it to work with.
