Update 10.8.2 from 10.8.1 fails with MacBook Pro
Need some help! Trying to update 10.8.2 from 10.8.1 on MacBook Pro (13 in with Retina display) and somehow it fails. Any ideas?
Your wait was over yesterday. First you will need to install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.2 (Combo), then install the new OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update 2.0.

How can I restore data from my iPhone after sync with macbook pro?
I accidentally syncronized my Iphone with MacBook Pro on iTunes and lost all data from my phone (calendar, contacts, photos, etc.). Is there a way to recover that information? Thank you!
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup. -
Update 10.8.2 from 10.8.1 fails with MacPro 2009 and ATI HD 5870
I tried to update my Mac Pro 2009 from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2, after the download and install of 10.8.2 my mac completly hang in a white screen mode with broken graphics. No chance to fix that - i nearly tried everything. All hardware is okay, as i went back to 10.8.1 from a cloned drive.
Yes, the configuration of my mac is complex, here is a list:
Mac Pro 2009 2x 2.66 GhZ Quad-Core
96 GB RAM - 3x 16GB + 3x 16GB
ATI RADEON HD5870 1GB
Apple RAID Card installed (with 4 drives raid 5 attached)
Apple Fibre Channel Card installed (2x 4GB Fiberchannel)
Monitor NEC PA301W
Booting from a Crucial M$ 512MB SSD
Again: All works perfectly fine on 10.8.1.... As I went back through a cloned drive.
BUT it`s impossible to boot the machine even from an attached (firewire) clean installed 10.8.2 (i tried that too)
10.8.2 worls perfectly on my the Mac Book Air, no prblems upgrading at all- BUT did anybody know of a bug - especially related with the ATI HD 5870 in an MacPro 2009 ?? I repeat myself, all works perfectly great on 10.8.1 but there is as of now no chance to go up to 10.8.2 without getting a white blank screen.
So please, did anybody had the same problems with the ATI 5870 ? Or with the Apple Raid Card or Aplle Fibrechannel 2 Port Card? Is it the combination within my Mac Pro?
I would really appreciate any tipp, help or support !
Thanks!!!After successfully installing 10.8.2 from 10.8.1 - which never worked with 96 GB (6x 16GB) on my Mac Pro, it worked perfectly with reducing the RAM to 48 GB. See posting above.
After the 10.8.2 Update I added again 16GB to a total of 64 GB - WORKED!
Then I tried it again with all 6x 16GB (3x 16 + 3x 16Gb) FAILED ... again the same frozen broken screen on 10.8.2 - whitch works PERFECTLY under 10.8.1 (!!)
Last not least I added 1x 16GB more, so right now I have 3x 16GB on Bank 1 + 2x 16GB on Bank 2 - in total 80GB and it WORKS!!!
The memory is fine ! as i changed the different RAM Modules, so it`s NOT a defective RAM Module. For me right now the solution is either to run 10.8.2 with 80GB OR 10.8.1 with 96GB.
I guess this really has to be a BUG, or has anybody else another idea WHY 96GB RAM work on 10.8.1 and (in my case max. 80 GB RAM) work only in 10.8.2?
Maybe this solves some problems for other with >64GB RAM installed when they want to upgrade from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2 .... If you can run your system with more than 80GB PLEASE let me know. Right now I have at least one spare 16GB module.
so that config is working now:
Mac Pro 2009 2x 2.66 GhZ Quad-Core
80 GB RAM - 3x 16GB + 2x 16GB
ATI RADEON HD5870 1GB
Apple RAID Card installed (with 4 drives raid 5 attached)
Apple Fibre Channel Card installed (2x 4GB Fiberchannel)
Monitor NEC PA301W

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini
There is no license required for iWeb. Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

every time i try to download updates i get an error and told to restart my macbook pro. why? what to do?
This is a rare error, so excuse me if I ask some basic questions:
1. Do you update your Apple software through the Software Update pulldown menu? If not, I'd suggest doing that.
2. Do you perform diagnostics? If not, you can perform a Permissions check by going to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and running it.
3. Do you perform other diagnostics? Download Onyx to your Mac, and perform a full diagnostic on your machine. You'll need to reboot.
4. Have you tried to download updates individually from Apple? Not the perfect solution, but there's a good chance it will work.
5. Have you used Terminal? If you go to Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type "sudo softwareupdate --install --all", and enter. Software Update should work.
6. If all fails, consult help at your Apple Store, if there's one nearby. -
Transfering pictures from Droid Razor Memory Card to Macbook Pro Laptop!
I have a Droid Razor & I'm trying to transfer my pictures from my memory card to my Macbook Pro Laptop. It's not working. Can someone please help me nobody seems to know anything about how this is done through Apple or Verizon. I can transfer my pictures onto my Dell Desktop with no problem. I'm getting very frustrated. I knew I should have bought the IPHONE but Verizon talked me out of it! Please someone help me A.S.A.P.
Thanks So Much, AnnThanks Mike for getting back with me. I'm trying to uninstall VCast from my laptop now. Hope it works. I've had my Droid Razor just before Christmas, my husband bought it for me for a Christmas gift. Now when I slide the bar across to unlock the phone it goes real slow. I'm really not very happy with this phone at all, but I guess I'm stuck with it. What do you think as far as to which you think is the better phone the IPhone or Droid Razor. I'm having a hard time uninstalling VCast from my apple too. If you have any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much. Ann

Thanks for following up Ann. When you plug in your RAZR, is VCast opening up on your laptop? If so, I suggest uninstalling it from the laptop so it does not interfere with what we're trying to do. When multiple programs are trying to read the same USB device, it causes conflicts. As far as the iPhone goes, if you're still within your 14-day exchange period, feel free to exchange the device for one that you want. Please keep me updated when you have the time.

I am transferring from a desktop iMac to a MacBook Pro.
I am transferring from a desktop iMac to a MacBook Pro. We transferred all the data from the desktop to a second log in, and now I want to move all of my email accounts from the second log in to the first log in. I went into the Apple store to get help, but that was hours ago, and it's still working on it. Is it possible it will take hours to transfer 60,000 emails? It appears to be downloading them from the server multiple times, because I have deleted some and they pop back up again and I have have marked them all read, and now a LOT of them are marked unread. I use a gmail account. Can you shed some light here, or do i have to go back to the Genius Bar?

Can you explain this further. To another user account on your iMac? Or to your new Macbook?
Is it possible it will take hours to transfer 60,000 emails?
Yes. If you open the activity monitor in mail you can see this process occuring. "Updating cache directory, indexing, etc.).
From the menu bar Window > Activity
"It appears to be downloading them from the server multiple times, because I have deleted some and they pop back up again and I have have marked them all read, and now a LOT of them are marked unread. I use a gmail account."
Is the problem of unreads showing back up when you mark as unread on one computer and check the other, or is it on your new macbook pro.

Hi, I am trying to get my voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook Pro via iTunes and it is not working. I have ticked sync music in the music tab of the iPhone device and the include voice memos box is also ticked. So, apparently this should work, but there is no sign of the voice memos in iTunes or in the iTunes folder in the finder window. Any ideas much appreciated! :-) Thank you.
I've always had the "Include Voice Memos" option selected. I think that only pertains to syncing voice memos from iTunes to the iPhone after it has been copied to iTunes. It has to be the new OS/iTunes not communicating that new memos have been recorded. For some reason they won't sync when I want them to, and then a few syncs later they magically appear.
By the way, I'm VERY comfortable with the iTunes and iPhone systems. I've been using iTunes for 5 years, and I've been recording class lectures with the iPhone voice memo app (and another app) for a couple years. It's not an error of not seeing that the memos were added; they don't exist in my library or music folders.

How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?
How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?
Just copy the entire Music folder from the old Mac to the new Mac, then click on the folder and Get Info and change the permisisons and click the spoke to "apply to enclosed items"
Ideally it's best to use the same user name on the new machine, this way all your iTunes playlists work and there is no need to change permissions.
You can create the same named user by creating another account in System Preferences >accounts
If the old computer is a PC then just copy the old Music folder to the Mac onto the desktop, then use iTunes to import the music files.
If the old comptuer is dead, then you can extract the hard drive(if it's still working) and use a IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable to access the internal drive.
Mac's should be able to read NTFS format of PC's, just not write to it. But if it's not working there is software to install to allow the Mac to read that NTFS drive format, just search online. -
II am new to Mac and was trying to transfer data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro. The connection was lost however and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring you nformation' screen. How do I get out of this screen so I can attempt the connection again? Is it safe to force shut down of my Mac and will it still prompt me through all the setup process again?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your Mac and PC are connected by Ethernet, unplug and plug that cable again. If not, you have to turn off the MacBook by holding the Power button.
In the next startup, try to transfer your files again. It's important not to interrupt the transfer process, because in most cases, you will stop it and you won't be able to resume it -

How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ? 10
How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ?
The easiest way is probably to use a USB flash drive (you may have to test whether it is compatible with the Mac OS 9 iMac).
Somewhat more complicated would be to connect the two computers via Ethernet to (the built-in switch of) a broadband router, and then transfer files over the Internet (or a local network).
There are other methods as well (FireWire, CD-R, et cetera), depending upon the exact computer models involved.

How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs, jpgs, some photoshopped files), iTunes library, word docs. Is there a particular type of external hard drive that can be used or am I limited to copying stuff onto z-drive and moving that way?
If both computers are on the same network, you can share the files from the Windows host using SMB and mount the share on the Mac. Otherwise, the Mac should be able to read (not necessarily write) any storage device formatted in Windows.

When using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro, that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook, will emails, contacts and calendar entries be moved to Outlook on the new MacBook or into Mail, Contacts and Calendar?
I doubt they will. But then I'm not sure as I used a migration program once about 18 years ago and totally FUBARed the system I had at that time and I've never used one again.
For me the reason to have a new system is to start fresh. Installing only program that I now use and manually copying data over from the older system.
Not sure your older version of Outlook, and the outlook mail boxes, are compatible with Office/Outlook for Mac 2011.
A better place to ask this question would be on the MS Office for Mac forums.
Hope it all works out for you.
