Bought Macbook pro July 12 Apple store in Vancouver Canada, trying to register for the free Lion upgrade online without success. It doesn't take my serial number ?

You need to request the download code from Apple
http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
Just go there and fill out the info and they will email you the code to get Lion for free.

    Hi I bought macbook Pro Retina 1.3 from India on the 29th March 2014 and currently I am in Norway. And suddenly I can see the inside display screen is broken. Nothing from outside and the main top screen. I got by email from the shop in India, Mumbai where I purchased it and I have the photos of the screen where do I upload kindly urgently do let me know. It is under warranty till today and I need your urgent details so that I can upload required datas and I shall go back to India on the 5th April 2015 hence I need to get from you how to go about. Thank you. Uday Kumar Ghosh +47 455 48 953

    Thank you. I did contact Apple Norway and they already raised a case no based on which I shall go and hand over my mac pro retina 13inch. As per Apple Norway, as the case has been registered before the expiry of the warranty, Apple India to accept the warranty  as well and get the set repaired under warranty. Thank you.

  • I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card)

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card).
    Things to note:
    I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
    I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
    any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
    It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

  • I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version.  I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available?

    I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version.  I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available?  Will I need to go back even further?  Thanks

    Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9: 
    1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks.  Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

  • Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the

    Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it wasn't uninstalled on the previous laptop? What to do now?? Thx!

    Maybe this can help someone else...  I simply had to properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall it again after that.  I think that sorted it!  I also remember having a similar issue with Macs at work a couple of years back.  Not sure whether the same applies to CS5/CS6.  Here's a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS.  I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it worked just fine.  Remove Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

  • MacBook Pro. When trying to powering up the sleep light blinks five times then there's a pause

    MacBook Pro. When trying to powering up the sleep light blinks five times then there's a pause, then blinks five more times and then shuts down. hard drive spins up for a few seconds in the beginning. I've tried pulling ram from a working MacBook Pro from same generation and it didn't seem to make any changes. battery has been dead for years.  serial number of mac is W8819AWHYJX,
    Thanks for any help you might provide.

    If you don’t hear beeps, but the sleep indicator light flashes five  times when you start it up or wake it from sleep, its battery may need  service. Take the battery to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, such  as an Apple Retail Store.

  • I bought a MacBook Pro I can not sign up for the updates, because I do not have credit card. Only own debit card, but the system does not accept. What can I do?

    I bought a MacBook Pro I can not sign up for the updates, because I do not have credit card. Only own debit card, but the system does not accept. What can I do?

    You do not need to "sign up" for downloading updates. Just run Software Update and let it access them directly thru the App Store.

  • My MacBook Pro seem to be running slower since the last lion update, anybody else?

    Since the update of the Lion software my Macbook Pro is running rather slow and the pinwheel appears quite often, anyone else having this issue.  Any suggestions for solution?

    This is from an a brody recent post:
    Backup your data if you want to isolate all the possible reasons.
    Depending on what is slow:
    1. The hard drive may be close to capacity.  85% is the maximum most Macs can run at without exceeding it.
    2. It may have insufficient RAM.
    3. It may have a damaged directory.
    4. Your use of so-called maintenance tools may actually be corrupting system caches.  Onyx, and Macaroni are all tools that should only be
    used by experts who know when they should be used if at all.  MacKeeper shouldn't be used at all.
    5. You have a dying hard drive.
    6. You have a router not compatible with your operating system.
    7. You have a peripheral not compatible with your operating system.
    8. You have a firewall that isn't routing internet traffic properly.
    9. You have some incompatible software.
    So tell us when you are backed up, and what is slowing down, and maybe we can help you isolate the problem."

  • Sky Player - I am trying to register for the service but it says I have missing plugins but Firefox can't find any

    I am trying to sign-up to Sky Player however I cannot do so because when I press the 'sign-up' button on the web page it refuses to take me to next page and the Firefox has a banner saying 'missing plugins'. When I click on that Firefox cannot find the missing plugins! I manually download some but it makes no difference.
    Had similar problems in the past with other sites and end up have to use IE instead!

    Install Silverlight.
