My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

Check that the serial you are using is the correct one..
Typically the problem is either you are misreading the serial and therefore typing it in wrong. Check you are correctly entering zeros or O.. and so on....
or...
You bought the LP9 upgrade version.... which requires the LP8 full serial as well.
If it is the LP9 upgrade serial.. (and not the LP9 full serial) you must enter your original LP8 full serial first and then the upgrade serial for LP9.. when it asks for it.
Failing that.. you can obtain a replacement serial from Apple.. using this form.....

My HP hard drive went out.

My hard drive went out on my HP and I tried to contact someone online but could not get anyone. I need to know what I will need todo its still under warenty I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR GOING ON 6 MONTHS. I am not satisfied with how everything is turning out I expected more form this company.
I am a very unsatified customer.

I suggest that you contact someone by telephone or email instead or try the online chat again. Hard disks are a warranty replaceable item. Contact HP
You will need to locate the recovery disk set or USB recovery media that you created (when asked to) at the time when you first set up your notebook. If you did not create a set then you will need to purachse a set from HP or an HP Partnet

Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

After replacing a failed hard drive with new one I inadvertently created a different account name(home/user) than the one in the Time Machine backup. Now I cannot restore the photos in iPhoto. What are my options?

The best thing to do would be to start over. Use Setup Assistant this time.
Boot into Recovery, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This operation will destroy all data on the volume. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups. For a walkthrough, see here:
Using Setup Assistant
Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.

How do I sync my Ipod with a new Itunes after losing my old Itunes when my hard drive went out?

I had my itunes on one of my few computers that I have. The hard drive on the computer that I had my itunes on went out and I had to replace it, losing my itunes and other things, but I cared more about the itunes then I did with anything else. Now when I try to download itunes and try to sync my ipod, it says that if I sync it, all music with be replaced, and I don't want that. How do I sync my ipod to that new itunes without losing all my songs?

The hard drive on our laptop crashed was able to transfer all for 2 users files etc to another mac. got it fixed 80,000 photos were transferred back but iphoto library for 1 user is empty now. can this iphoto library be recovered?

The hard drive on our laptop crashed and we took it to the apple store and they said we can transfer all files photos and videos over to another mac laptop via a special cable. We did that and everything for the two users transferred over to the other laptop fine including 80,000 photos. We got the laptop fixed and my husband transferred everything back to our laptop. In his profile (he’s the administrator) his iPhoto library has all 7900 of his photos in it as well as all his events and albums that he created prior to it crashing. It’s organized exactly how he had it; however, in my profile, my iPhoto library is empty. I had over 9,000 photos in it and like 65 events and a couple of albums and it’s completely empty yet when he transferred everything back to our mac, he it showed that 80,000 photos were transferred as well. Do you know where all those photos could possibly be stored?

Yes you can move the book but not by exporting
The book is just entries in the iPhoto database so the only way to transfer it is ot transfer the entire library it is in - you can make a "mini" library containing only one book to make the transfer easier - see Old Toad's tutorial #9 - http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No._9.html
You also can save a PDF of the book and transfer that but you can not edit pr process it

HT203322 Still having issues with installing Yosemite after deleting "Backups.backupdb" on the internal hard drive. I have restarted multiple times and cannot find any other back up files, yet I still receive the same error message during installation.

I am using a 2011 iMac on 10.6.8. I recently downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and during the installation process ran into the "this disk is used for time machine backups". I ejected the external drive I use for time machine backups and turned off time machine in the application. I then followed the instructions of the help article (OS X: Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups - Apple Support) by moving the folder "Backups.backupdb" that I was able to find on my internal hard drive to the trash. I have restarted several times after completing this process. I am still running into the same error during the installation process. I have searched the hard drive for any other backups and I cannot find any. I searched the hard drive using the command cmd-shift-g and searched for “backups.backupdb” and was unable to find any folders or files. Any other suggestions?

I have resolved the problem - I did not actually delete the "backups.backupdb" folder, I only deleted the contents of the folder. I must have only searched on the user account for the folder after I thought I had deleted it. Thank you for the assistance everyone and I apologize for the inconvenience!

My hard drive is getting consumed as I sit and watch. I don't have much on my computer, but it tells me the disk space is full.

I am getting a message that my disk space is full and when I check on the hard drive capacity, I can watch it going down. I don't have much stored on my hard drive, so I don't know what's using up all the space.

If you can see it disappearing before your eyes, it is likely to be some runaway process. Possibly a log filling up.
Open the Console application and click to system.log and at the bottom, see if there is some process repeating endlessly.
Post the last several lines of that log if you think it is relevant. Don't post the entire log though, just the end bit.

TS1363 I'm trying to sync my ipod nano to my recently restored hard drive. At one point while i was getting it all loaded again I did connect my device but told it not to sync as my library wasnt complete, now it wont give me that option anymore. How do i

While trying to rebuild my library after loosing my harddrive, I conneced my ipod nano 3rd Gen. to charge and when prompted if I wanted to sync (warning I would be replacing the library) I didnt accept as I only had a few songs replaced. Now I finally have my library rebuilt andI cant get it to sync. In windows It only shows as "Photo Stream."

Restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes to associate the Nano with your new iTunes library.

I have a 750 GB SS Hard Drive that was in my Macbook pro 15", i am trying to install it into my new Macbook 13" and when i power it, the apple sign comes on but stays on that screen. Can anyone tell me what Steps i missed.

I need help trying to get my Macbook Pro 13 to bootup.

The software that comes from the factory, pre-installed has always only contained the drivers for that specific model and no others.
If you want to install on a different model Mac, you need to have the original installation DVD or go back to Recovery_HD and download again.
Your 13" and 15" have somewhat different Hardware, and you need the correct version for that model or a purchased or downloaded version to proceed.

I need a sim card for my 3G refurbished phone and don't know which one to use. I get a message IMEI 01181100937 939 4 How do I find the serial number

I can't find which carrier to use on my refurbished I phone 3 G. The screen says I need a sim card and has the message IMEI 01 181100 937 9394. Also ICCID unknown.

They are free at Corporate Verizon stores; retailers usually charge for them. You also can call Customer Service and have them send you one.
And you don't need a SIM card to activate an iPhone 4S on VzW's network.
