What does registering FCP with Apple do?

If I am selling an old, unused copy of FCP with a unique serial number, how do I license it to my friend if I have already registered it with Apple? Will that make a difference? The License agreement says I can transfer ALL rights to a new person, provided FCP is intact. Can I unregister it with Apple? What does registering with Apple even do?
thanks

I'm pretty sure all you need to do is call 1-800-myapple... and they can arrange the license transfer.

We had our MAC book Pro stolen and we registered it with Apple. Is there any way to recover the serial number for police reports if the receipt does not have the serial number on it? Thx

We had our Mac Book Pro stolen and have not been able to recover the serial number from our Best Buy receipt. We did register it with Apple during the set-up and downloaded music on it thru ITunes. Any chance we can recover the serial number from somewhere? Any details would be helpful. Thank you!

You can try going here, using the same AppleID you used on the machine:

You should see a list of all the devices registered to you

What does the folder with a question mark mean?

When I power on my black Macbook a white screen appears with a folder with a question mark flashing. what does the folder with a question mark mean? I just replaced the hard drive. When I put the install disc in the cd drive makes a very loud whirring noise then eventually the disc pops back out. Any ideas?

You will need to reinstall:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. 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 your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

What is going on with Apple? I've just downloaded their Mavericks and my computer is performing so badly, I'm wondering if Mavericks is some sort of diabolical malware! How can I get Mavericks out of my computer?

What is your year and specs of your Mac Pro?
How much RAM installed?
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and have negative effects on system performance.
Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac?
These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary.
They really aren't.
There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
These apps potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
Plus, the software company's that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
It is best to never download and install these types of apps.
The risk to your system and data is too great a risk!

What is going on with apple?

What is going on with Apple this year? Syncing is now a challenge, when adding new content to devices either way, iphone, ipad, macbook, itunes does not see the content anymore unless you shut it down and re-open it, if you are using iphoto + itunes, neither sync up unless they are both shut down and restarted.
Apple has always done an incredible job syncing content, as it is added in itunes or iphoto or on a device it was immediately accessable on any device to be used or sync based on user settings, is this fragmented syncing due to iOS 6 and itunes or has apple simply lost it's focus or i am missing a setting somewhere?
This fragmentation occurs with photo's, media files such as music and video, apps, email etc. Anyone else experiencing this?

no problem syncing photos and videos for me.
and thats why i manage everything else manually...music and videos. syncing music and videos is 'crap' for me.

How does Remote work with Apple TV?

How does Remote work with Apple TV?
1. Does Remote, "Play" the music that resides on your iPod Touch>Apple TV>Home Speakers.
OR
Does Remote "Control" the music that resides on Apple TV HD>Home Speakers.
(If so... say you have a iPod Touch that only holds 8GB's but your music collection on your Apple TV exceeds that amount.
Will Remote still "Control" the larger music collection on Apple TV or your computer?)
2. Will iPod Wifi work on a patio outside a home to control Apple TV inside the home?
thank you in advance, Tom

Remote is a way to control iTunes on either your computer or Apple TV using a WiFi connection. See this article for complete instructions.

What does XP do with installers?

When you download software and Windows XP installs it, what does it do with the installer? Does it delete it? Save it somewhere? I have downloaded a bunch of software in the past few days. My downloads go to my desktop usually in XP. But on a lot of this stuff (AutoCAD type software) after the install happens, there is not installer on my desktop. The reason I ask is my hard drive space is bloated so I'm thinking it is putting the installers somewhere. I already checked in the "Recycle" can but nothing in there. I'm trying to figure out if these installs are really taking up that much space or if the installer is archived somewhere which I would like to delete as they were big GB downloads. Anyone know?

If you select the Run option when it starts to download, Windows will download it to the temp folder, where it may get deleted once the install has finished. If you select the Download option, it will download into whatever folder you have set for downloads in the browser settings, where you will need to run the installer manually.

What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500.

What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500?

I am shopping, with a focus on Samsung, and was told by a Samsung rep their TV's were not compadible with Apple TV. I found this difficult to believe so I wanted to pursue with persons knowledgeable with Apple TV.
If I find that Samsung is not compadible I wanted to determine which lines, e.g. Sony, might be compadibile, as I wanted to use Apple TV.
Thank yoyu

My iPad 4th generation does not mirror with Apple TV

My iPad 4th generation does not mirror with Apple TV. I can listen to my music but I can't use other apps.

Hello, Manny0860.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple resources that I would recommend going through when running into issues with AirPlay Mirroring. Also, when selecting AirPlay on your iPad make sure you also select Mirroring.
iOS: Use AirPlay Mirroring

It means that your screen rotation is locked. Open up the control center by sliding your finger up from the very bottom of the screen, and click on the screen rotation lock symbol, which is the same symbol you see on the status bar.
