After a clean install of the original OS 10.6.4 on my old MacBook Pro, I'm not able to install iLife with the application DVD. Anybody can help?
My old MacBook Pro 13" 2011 (2.4 Ghz, Intel core duo, 10Gb RAM, 250Mb HD) was running on Lion 10.7 (upgraded last Spring from the original Snow Leopard). As I got a new laptop just a week ago, I was trying to restore the old one to the original factory settings and resell it.
After unsuccessfully trying to restore Lion with the remote apple server and after going through several messages here in the community, I was finally able to re install the original Snow Leopard system from the Mac Os X install DVD that came with the computer. I did that booting the laptop from the DVD, going to disc Utility, making the partition GUID formatted Mac Os Journal extended, and then installing the system. The hard drive had been erased previously.
It all seemed to work well; I had intended to shut down and leave the option to the future owner to configure the computer and perform the additional installs. But to double check that everything was ok, I decided to go ahead instead, and install the applications that were on a separate DVD (AHT Version 3A192, Disc Version 2.0), like iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, etc. Unfortunately, as soon as the installer would begin to work, after clicking on the agreement and all the preliminary steps, it would quit with an error. I tried several times.
Does anybody have a clue of what happened and how I can fix it? I hope you can help me! Thank you!

My ipad is hung with the dialogue box saying "this iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backup happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi". Even after doing that, I am not able to do anything with the iPad - neither able to reboot nor able to get to the homescreen. The dialogue box doesn't go at all even after pressing OK a hundred times. I treid tacking the back up through itunes and through 3G conncetion but of no avail. Please help
I too have been having this issue since about 12/14. That is around the same time I got the Ipad for my kids. I am unsure if it is related. I have tried logging out of icloud/deleting it and trying again. Removing most of the apps to sync. I reset my router. All of the attempts have produced zero results. I will be anxiously watching this thread for some help. Good luck to you also

Hi,
I have the old MacBook Pro. Upgraded to Mountain Lion which completely wrecked the system. So downgraded to Snow Leopard.
Then updated the combo update. Now stuck on blue screen at start-up.
Need help. Greatly appreciated. Thank you.Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
1. 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.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then
the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART
info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on
the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files. -
My MacBook Pro (version 10.7.5 4GB)keeps crashing with the error message 'Your MAC OSX start up disk has no more space available for application memory' - what do i do. I keep force quitting the applications and turning the computer off but it happens again after a while
Hhow much goal and free hard disk space is available? Sounds like you need to move some things off of that hard drive.

In P6 version7 not able to copy project with the baseline.
Hi,
In P6 version 7 it is not able to copy project with the baseline. It copies only the schedule.
Please help.
regards,
Baber.Tried the solution from another thread but did not work completely (as warned) - the workaround didn't quite work for me either:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1398462?start=0&tstart=0
Ended up taking a backup, did a fresh install, created the account as the first one so that it gets the same UID as the other Mac (on which my account was the first) and restored my data - was painful but finally on track. -
I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?
Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

Should I get a 2.0 or 3.0 USB external hard drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro? I need it to be compatible with the USB ports of both a PC and a Mac. I was thinking of getting a Seagate becuase apparently it is compatible with both systems, but I want to know which would be a better investment.

I can select a disk (Time Capsule) and initiate the backup. It only "waits to back up" then "making backup disk available" and remains frozen there. I tried to update the software a while back and was unsuccessful, I think that may be the issue.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. This is the error message I receive.
TIME MACHINE ERROR: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Sean McGuire’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 1).

When I insert the usb of my Elgato Video Capture into my Macbook Pro, it says 'USB Devices Disabled'? What does this mean and how can I solve it?
I've partitoned Windows swell and it says the same thing? I'm trying to live capture from my Sony Camcorder through Elgato but I just get the above message?This means that the backups were made with a later version than the version currently on the phone. You will have to update the phone to 6.1.3 to be able to restore the backup. You can restore a backup made with an earlier version, but not with a later version.

My 1-year old MacBook Pro Retina shuts itself without giving a warning when the battery is at 5-15% of capacity. Idk what to do about it.
KarnPS,
start recharging your battery when it gets down to 20% — you’ll shorten your battery’s lifespan by running on battery power beyond that. -
