Authorizing iTunes for macbook pro

I am having trouble authorizing my new macbook pro with my itunes. Help

This user >https://discussions.apple.com/message/18946641#18946641 had good intentions but kinda got lost and then some after signing into the store to transfer iTunes files before they first authorized successfully.
I hate it when stuff like that happens Oooops!

Importing CDs into iTunes for Macbook Pro

For Chrismas this year I recieved a new Macbook Pro. On my old computer I would import my CDs into iTunes to listen to music, rather than buying all new music that I already have! This is my first time owning any kind of apple computer and I have no clue how to do certain things on it! I would really like to import my CDs so I can listen to music, but this computer has no CD drive and I have no idea how to do so! I would really like to figure this out so I don't have to spend more money on music that I already own! Please help a confused new Mac user!! Thank you!

Pioneer DVR-XD09
THAT'S the one I have and use with my Mini.
I got it four years ago for my daughter, with a Netbook, which has since been retired. It comes with a "dual" USB cable (2 into 1 - 1 for data,1 for power) but I got an AC adapter for the power so it only uses one USB port now. The dual cable comes in handy when you're on the go, though. No external power source needed.
It reads and writes (+and -) CD-Rs CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, single and dual layer. About the only thing it won't do is BluRay.

Itunes on Macbook Pro retina only downloaded 1:30 of each song purchased.

Itunes on Macbook Pro retina only downloaded 1:30 of each song purchased. This is the case for over 2000 songs. The computer is authorized. How do get it it do download the full song?

Hey Justin-O,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, you can remove the music and re-download from your purchase history:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I bought the wrong version as I need it for macbook pro but somehow bought windows...help

I guess I will have to wait until normal office hours. I have no idea why it bought the window version as I did not realize that is what was selected. I hope I can get it exchanged for the photoshop elements 13 for macbook pro retina display. Anyone know if this is an easy switch and one they will do?

When buying HD versions of shows, only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes, though. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.
Regards.

Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!

Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!
Why does iTunes SUCK??
1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
Please tell me I am not the only one!!
...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
Very appreciated,
Joe

More GB for Macbook Pro

Hi,
I bought a 15" Macbook Pro 120GB last month from
Apple.com. I do a lot of video editing and wanted to
upgrade my memory to 200GB. I am under Apple's
Warranty, however I am afraid of buying more GB and
installing it on my Macbook Pro myself. Is there a
way I can have Apple mail me a shipper box and send it
back to Apple to upgrade the GB? I am willing to pay
extra for the sake of having a certified Apple
employee do the install. Has anyone had this
experience or could offer me any advice on this topic?
Thanks!!

I just had my MacBook Pro Hard-drive upgraded. As best as I could find out, for MacBook Pro's, you need to have an Authorized Apple Service Center perform the upgrade. According to them, the rest of the MBP is sill covered by AppleCare, but the new drive is not.
If you do the upgrade yourself, you WILL break your entire warranty.
I paid $130 for the labor, and my local Mac Repair Site did it the same day. I bought a Hitachi Travelstar 250GByte drive from ZipZoomFly.com then:
- put it in a USB2.0 SATA case,
- used Carbon Copy Cloner to back up my entire drive to the new one,
- booted from the new drive externally and tested applicaitons for an hour,
- then took it to my Mac shop to swap drives.
This minimzed the effort of the installer and maximized my confidence that everything would go smoothly.

Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7

Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7

Broadly speaking I want some sort of network storage( wireless or through my existing wifi router) that I can access files for both my windows PC and Macbook and also to access files to my iPad/ iPhone. Some sort of backup and sychronisation so that I can access certain files remotely.
Buy a real NAS.. synology or QNAP are the standard... although companies like Netgear and Western Digital and Seagate make them as well.
There is no problem sharing between Mac and PC now.. you do not even need a NAS to do that.. you simply share the hard disk directly. Mac talk SMB.. everything talks SMB nowadays.. so it is easy.
ipad and iphone are not designed to use NAS.. they are designed to backup only to the cloud or itunes.. but you can load an app like file browser if you want.
http://www.stratospherix.com/products/filebrowser/
Remote access to the Apple TC is somewhere between difficult, to impossible from a PC.. Apple use BTMM and iCloud but the service is not offered to PC.
A real NAS will offer HTTPS or SFTP or several other methods.. that both Mac and PC can use.
You simply plug it into the current wireless router.. it is a network device and assessable over the network. It is not necessary to buy another router.. in fact that is a waste.

Might there be an ownership issue --- such as:
Might the tunes that do not sync to the iPad have been purchased using a different Apple ID and password than are either used on the iPad or authorized on the computer's iTunes?

The normal value of battery capacity for macbook pro

Hi there,
I noticed my battery full charge capacity value is way below the technical specification from Apple.
For macbook pro 15" early 2011 version a 77.5W battery is built-in.
However, so far after 4 cycle, my full charge capacity is 6913mAh.
It seems that I missed something. Though I didn't really notice the initial value when it's brandnew.
Statistically what's the average value of the new battery will be ? around 75W or 7500mAh? Any idea?

Best battery info resource is here:

How can I know if my new internal hd for macbook pro is compatible?

I have been trying to upgrade my internal HD for macbook pro early 2008 2.4 and have been having a hard time getting it to boot. Problems with both WD and Seagate. I am wondering if the problem is with Mavericks. I got a good back up from Time Machine to load on the hybrid drive. Then when I try to restart it shows the apply symbol with no chime and then a black screen comes over the blue screen with some code (strange problem I have never seen) I can see that all the data is on the drive. I was able to partitian in disk utility. Anything ringing a bell. I have done several switches like this and this is the first time I have had so much trouble. I reinstalled my old drive just to make sure there was not another hardward issue and everything is fine there. In fact I have a new logic board freshly installed by mac.

Your machine has a SATA 2 interface and I'm sure the new drives are SATA 3. They should still step down and work though. It's possible your SATA cable is marginal and the newer drive is trying to demand more out of it than the old one did. A good test would be to put the new drive in an external enclosure and see if it works ok from there. If so, it's probably the cable.

How did you install Mavericks on the new drive?

toshiba 1.tb and 7200 RPM ?
Those are same as use by Apple in the non-retina macbook Pro, Ive got piles of them, only a Hitachi is better.
Toshiba HD are a hair noisy even by Toshiba own admission, but no big deal.
I would NEVER buy from OWC merely for the reasons that their prices are miserable.
Here you go,   $65
