Apple password not recognized on new macbook pro

I just bought a new macbook pro and used my time machine disk. All went fine until a message appeared that a device was incorrectly ejected. I clicked the message away and the transfer seemed to continue althpugh it suddenly needed twice the time as before the message. At a certain stage it asked for my apple password (as used o  my old machine which i was tranferring to the new one) but Now it doesnt accept my apple password anymore so i  am stuck!! I am sure the password is correct.  This thing is extra cruel as i had to buy the new one abroad after i was robbed at the airport. Luckily i always travel with my harddisk with backups from time machine but despit this i cant use my new macbook pro because of the above trouble. Anybody any suggestion? Please help!

I really wish that was true. I am using the same password for about 10 years already (not smart i know bur at least i always am sure that it is correct). A thought i had was that caps lock or something similar was activated. Caps lock is easy to check but maybe somebody knows if ther are other settings that accidentily might have been active? And how those can be undone?

  • Apple TV not recognizing with 2011 Macbook Pro? Try this, possible fix!!!

    Ok so we all know there is compatibility issues with previous devices working with the brand new MBP notebooks. One device especially are Blackberry phones, they just do not work because the software used on them was designed around 32bit OS. Now with the new Macbook Pro computers they run a complete 64Bit OS and it is up to everyone even Apple to update their software to work with it (you are going to wait a bit because it does take time to develop working products!). So let's try this, and please give feedback if this works or not because I am curious if it is as simple as this:
    (By the way this will ABSOLUTELY work for your Blackberry not being recognized by brand new MBP notebooks!)
    -Shut down the computer
    -When the computer is shut down hold down the number keys "3" + "2".
    -While holding those keys press the power button just to turn on the computer and KEEP HOLDING the keys until the Apple Logo and spinning gear is gone.
    -Congrats you have now booted up into 32Bit mode for OS X 10.6! Yay.
    Now try to synch with Apple TV. Hopefully it is as simple as this otherwise a lot of people are having a whole lot of networking issues! I honestly think this may resolve your issue as I read that a lot of people can still view the Apple TV on their old computers but just not their new ones :X Good luck!

    I am not having the issue, this was a general post to try to potentially help people that are experiencing this issue. Just from experience and deducing from some of the posts I have read about the issue this seemed like the logical first step to fixing the issue. Most likely it is not IPv6 because IPv4 is still the default IP address, most router will only use IPv4 currently. And I can still see my Apple TV with IPv6 enabled .
    Turning IPv6 off would honestly have no effect on this issue just because they most likely are already connected to the internet and browsing they just cannot connect to their Apple TV. But thanks for yur response!

  • IPod 30 GB not recognized by new MacBook Pro

    I have a 30 GB iPod (bought it in December 2006) and used to use it with my Powerbook G4. I upgraded the G4 with Tiger (originally it had jaguar) so I could download iTunes 7 so my new iPod would work with my old G4. Everything worked fine.
    Now I have a new MacBook Pro with Tiger and iTunes 7.1. My iPod will not be recognized by the MBP. I plug it into the USB and the iPod says "do not disconnect," but the battery does not show that it is charging. Also, iTunes does not pick up the iPod and the little iPod icon does not show up on the desktop as it did on the G4. Therefore, there is now way I can properly "eject" the iPod, so I have to pull the plug. It freezes with the "do not disconnect" appearing, until I reset the iPod.
    What is going on with my new MacBook Pro?
    Thanks!

    This is not resolved. I hope to get the official working solution.
    I reinstalled os x on new hard drive. I have no music on my ibook now, but it's still on my ipod (and on my portable storage) categorized into playlists. I also have some podcasts and files only on my ipod. The new HD is not reading my ipod (I imagine it can only be read by the old HD that doesn't exit anymore). I did not save any itunes system files to my storage drive. How can I sync my old ipod with the new HD and keep all the music that's already on the ipod?

  • IPhone not recognized on new MacBook Pro

    Just got one of the new MacBook Pro laptops and so far my iPhone no longer shows up in iTunes. It used to launch iTunes automatically when I plugged it in and would sync. All the settings remain the same after migration, and I've checked by hand, but restarting phone, restarting iTunes... using the other USB... nothing seems to work. I cannot force a sync if my phone doesn't even show up! I have my iPhone backups listed from before migration but that doesn't help me at all when the device isn't recognized. Tips?
    Thanks in advance!

    i just got one of the new i5 macbook pro's - i immediately ran a software update to make sure i had all the latest drivers and os stuff - i have had no problem with it recognizing my iPhone - in fact it recognizes it about 5 times faster than my old windows machine

  • Firewire port not recognized on new MacBook Pro

    I've been using time machine to backup my computer to a LaCie external drive and noticed that it hasn't done it for over two weeks. I can hear the drive when it's connected but it doesn't show up on my desktop. I plugged it into my old macbook and it worked fine. I'm using a new adapter made for this model of macbook pro — a firewire 800.
    I need to use this computer for work and am hoping there is an upgrade that might fix it. I can't afford the time it will take at a mac store to fix this. Any advice?
    thanks so much

    dose the hard drive show up in system profiler or disk utility?
    (apple menu, about this mac, more info button, USB from the left hand list.)

  • HT201240 Password not working on New MacBook Pro

    Hello.  My log in password is not working. I just purchased a Mac book pro and the password I entered during the set up is not working.  Does anyone know how I can log onto the system if this happens? I've never even used the laptop yet.  Thanks for your input in advance.

  • New hard drive is not recognized by my MacBook Pro.

    New hard drive is not recognized by my MacBook Pro. The supplier says I need to update my BIOS. True? How do I do that?
    Hard drive: NN2-72-500-SSE Seagate Momentus 7200.4 (ST9500423AS) 500GB Laptop Hard Drive
    Mac OS: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

    I went through a similar issue with a Seagate Momentus 750GB HDD/8GB SSD with my late-2011 MBP.  No matter what I tried, the machine would not recognize the drive.
    To test it, I installed the drive in an old ThinkPad, and it worked fine.  Then I tried installing it in my PS3, and the drive worked fine there, too.  It was only the MBP which had issues.
    I don't *think* Macs have a BIOS to update.  But I know my MBP has issues with certain HDD's (including another external which works fine on other Macs and all Windows machines).
    You might be able to find my thread by searching under my username, perhaps something in there will offer a tip.  Otherwise, you might have to go the same route I did: install a WD Scorpio Black instead.  Or upgrade to an SSD.
    Good luck to you-

  • Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

    why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

    Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
    If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again. If the problem remains, update to 10.6.8 and repeat.

  • Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro [was: pro]

    Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro. It is coming from my other macbook.

    Install normally means running setup from the orginal discs or the downloadable trial version. If you are copying from a backup or another computer, that won't work.
    Best advice is to download the CS4 trial, and have your serial number ready in order to convert the trial into a licensed version.
    Get the trial here. Follow the instructions carefully or the download link won't work.

  • LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.

    LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.  Have tried 2 CC downloads, 5.6 licensed download and 5.5 licensed download, all result in the same thing.  It comes up with basic screen but no panels and gives an error occurred when changing modules.  Nothing I've tried seems to help.  It also has says "get started with lightroom mobile at top left although it says it is Lr 5.6.  Anybody else having problems?  Calls to adobe result in no help and have to wait till Monday for some technical support.  Surely this should run on a NEW laptop with no other software installed!!!

    Install logs were fine.  Application installed but wouldn't run properly.  Finally got Adobe support and it turns out to be a file permissions error.  Had to add both applications and myself as accessors of Lightroom folder under path ~/Library/Adobe/  and set permissions to read & write (was read only for everything but system) and apply to all enclosed folders.   Runs fine now.  Including this here in case anyone else runs across this issue.

  • YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO

    YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO
    Every time I want to see videos from youtube the video player just says "your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available".
    Please help I have everything possible up to date.
    Thanks!

    It appears as if only some videos on YouTube will play using HTML5 and without Flash. For example, this video plays just fine for me and I do not have flash installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEWddT44BY
    So, unfortunately, you will have to install flash or wait for YouTube to fix their website.
    Also, one thing to try: When I had Flash installed and the "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension installed, YouTube would load all the movies in a simple HTML5 format. So no annotations or any other annoying stuff. Might be worth trying. You will have to install flash but, with the "ClickToPlugin" extension, you don't have to use Flash.

  • IMessage not working on new Macbook Pro.

    iMessage not working on new Macbook Pro. Issue began after I downloaded latest version of Mountain Lion.  After every message it says delivered then immediately a red circle with exclamation point says message not delivered.  Any ideas?

    I can also no longer text on my computer or iPad.  Fine on iPhone.  Same as you - I can see everything up until a specific day.  But I didn't do any kind of update where it should have stopped.  And it stopped working on my computer and iPad at the same time.

  • Airplay not working on new macbook pro and apple tv2

    i have a new macbook pro and new apple tv device and have used them together easily. However, now I can't find the apple tv icon on the top bar and have searched everywhere for it, turning off and on the home sharing, restarting the apple tv. any other hints, or is it just something basic...I am new to apple products...
    Thanks

    Doing the reset resolved this issue for me as well.  Not sure why it worked over the restart, but I'll take it.
    My issue was that my MBP-R would not connect with AirPlay.  I had the icon in the top bar and everything.  When I would try to connect it, it would hang for about a minute, then just kick back with nothing happening.
