Box not included with refurb'd MBP?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 15" Retina (Mid 2012) from the Apple certified refurbished store. I am loving the computer except for one small detail. When I recieved the packaging from the delivery service, I noticed immediately that the MacBook did not include the original packaging. I was expecting to get the authentic box that most apple products are presented in. This is a big deal for me because I enjoy collecting a few of them and it also greatly affects resale later on. Anyone have any ideas?
This is a quote from the Apple certified refurbished guarantee.
Each Apple Certified Refurbished Product:
is repackaged (including appropriate manuals, cables, new boxes, etc.).
So where is my new box Apple??

I have purchased three Apple refurbished MBPs and they all came in new boxes, but these boxes are not identical to the ones you get when you purchase a MBP at an Apple store. The first came in a plain brown box and the other two in plain white boxes. The quote you posted is accurate. You are assuming that it would be identical to the boxes for new MBPs which is not the case. This is the the way all refurbished MBPs are shipped.
Ciao.

WTH? OS discs not included with refurbs??

So after wanting to get a laptop for a number of years, I finally bit the bullet and ordered one through Mac's Barclay's credit program over the last several days, one of the low-end refurbished 15.4" MacBook Pros. I chose to do so A) to save money, and B) I'd already heard good things about the refurbs and how they'd already been factory-tested (my brother had himself made the mistake of purchasing brand-new one of the flawed 2002 G4 MDD "wind tunnel" models, so I suppose that made me a bit leery of getting a new model, even if I could afford).
Anyway, now I'm wondering if I made a mistake doing so, because here when it showed it it had this empty black "X" disc container, and no OS Snow Leopard disc. Has this been standard with refurbs? What do they expect us to do if there's some kind of OS failure?? I must've saved some $150 from the brand-new purchase price, but now it's almost as if I didn't save much money at all, because now I'll potentially have to buy one of those discs.
What do you recommend? I still haven't even turned on the computer, and now I'm kinda wondering if I made a bad purchase...

It may depend on when the "refurb" was originally manufactured, phasmatrope.
The regular early release MBP13's did, indeed, come with Leopard, rather than Snow Leopard. When SL was released existing stock had a "drop in" copy of Snow Leopard added. After a few weeks, instead of the "drop in", new computers came with a new set of the grey discs with Snow Leopard on board.
So it depends on which set of discs you have been provided with. If they are the original grey discs then they will contain Leopard. If they are the later set they will contain Snow Leopard.
My suspicion, given that your computer came with Leopard installed, is that you may find that they contain Leopard, and in this case I would be asking for a "drop in" copy of Snow Leopard. Apple generally advertise the "refurbs" with a copy of the latest OS included as part of the package (see http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC207LL/A?mco=MTU5MjkwMjk for example) and the fact that you received an empty slip case certainly suggests that there was meant to be a copy in there.
But it is easy enough to check. If you pop the disc in your drive and then do a 'get info" on it it will tell you what "version" it is under the "general" information tab. The early ones were 10.5.7.
It should also tell you in the fine print of the Mac OS X Install DVD.
So check the DVD. If it is NOT one of the later Snow Leopard builds then ask for a free copy.
Cheers
Rod

Idvd was not included with my mac mini how do I burn movies?

dvd was not included with my mac mini how do I burn movies?

It is now confirmed that iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
You can purchase the iLife 11 boxed disk at the online Apple Store while supplies last or possible at Amazon.com or eBay.com.
Happy New Year

Idvd is not included with lion, apple says is discontinued , where i can get it?

idvd is not included with i life11 installed with new i mac tha comen with Lion, apple says is discontinued , where i can get it?

Make a couple of phone calls.
iDVD is a “Must Have".   (Yes, it should be included.)
Call Apple, they sometimes sent out iDVD at no charge.
800-692-7753
800-275-2273
If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.
Most people report that by asking here:   http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
or here:   http://www.apple.com/contact/
they got a free copy of iDVD.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

IPhoto install NOT included with Leopard

Here's the scenario: Purchased an iMac 24" (2.8GHhz) a couple of weeks ago. Got it home and fired it up only to be confronted with Tiger as an OS. There were three Leopard Install Discs provided with the machine so (after much head scratching as to which method of install to choose) I did a clean install. All fine, except it was 10.5.0 and needed lots and lots of Software Updates to get up to speed.
At the same time (in the Mac Store Milton Keynes, UK) I purchased a separate copy of Leopard to bring my G4 17" Laptop in line with the shiny new iMac. I was running Tiger 10.4.9 on the lappy. I ran Carbon Copy Clone (just in case) on the laptop before doing a clean install of Leopard 10.5.1 from the purchased disc.
All pretty straightforward so far.
My main reason for upgrading the laptop was to ensure both machines could run iPhoto 08 (or whatever the latest number is).
When I plugged in (to the iMac) my external Lacie Rugged drive, which holds my Tiger iPhoto Library, Leopard told me that if I opened this in iPhoto 08 I would no longer be able to access it through any earlier versions - thanks Apple!
So, you can imagine my surprise when, after a successful install on the laptop, I came to launch iPhoto only to find it isn't there. A quick look at the (most excellent) Mac Forums provided me with the answer - iLife 08 and it's various components are NOT included with Leopard - thanks again Apple.
A ha, I thought. I'll simply use the 'Everything Else' discs that came with the iMac and install iLife from there.
Pop in the disc, choose 'Install other components' packet... Nope - Message come up - Cannot install this software on this computer. Oops.
Latest thought is (and this eventually leads to the question, bear with me)...
On the Laptop - Go back to the original Tiger install discs and see if there's an option to install iLife 06 components only. Then go back to the Leopard Discs and see if they will then allow for an upgrade rather than an install from scratch.
Question really is, I guess, does anyone else have a suggestion? Other than go out and buy a copy of iLife 08! Just trying not to overspend on Apple products that surely should be included in the Leopard install. I don't recall EVER having to pay for additional Apple software through any of the upgrade paths in the past.

Hi there
I used Pacifist OSX package extractor. Take the Leo install disc that came with your new Mac, install Pacifist on the computer you want iphoto installed and extract iphoto. I quote from the manufacturers (charlessoft.com) website:
"Pacifist is an essential utility that allows you to extract certain files from Apple's bundled installer packages. For exmaple, if you need to reinstall iDVD, the only Apple-sanctioned choice is to restore your entire system. Using Pacifist, you can extract just the iDVD application.
Even if you think you'll never use it, you should download Pacifist - I guarantee that someday, someway, you'll want to get at just one file out of an installation bundle. As soon as you do, register Pacifist, as it will have just easily paid for itself in time saved!"
I did it that way and it worked flawlessly. Hope this helps.

CISCO Box not working with Infrared Remove Control Repeater

There was an Infrared Remote Control Repeater set-up in my newly purchased house. It works for my LG DVD player, but does not work with my CISCO CHS435HDB box. Are there any work around for this? Should I change to a different box?

If you are using a repeater, make sure the piece that is relaying the IR signal is pointing directly the font of the Cisco box and nothing is plugged into the IR input port in the back of the box.

Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
Thanks,

Encore not included with Premier CC

I uninstalled Premier CS6 and Encore thinking that Premier CC would include Encore just as Premier CS 6. Imagine my surprise that it did not and now I do not have Encore at all.
I tried the steps in a blog article, http://http://blogs.adobe.com/davtechtable/2013/05/using-encore-cs6-with-premierepro-cc.ht ml and in step 5 when I apply updates, The "Premier Pro Family" update does not appear in fact No updates show up. Therefore I can't do step 6.
Why Adobe would not include Encore in the install of Premier CC is puzzling.
The workaround in the blog is not working for me.

Had_Enuf please see Encore CS6 not installed with Creative Cloud
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/encore-cs6-installed-cc.html for information on how to install Encore CS6.

ImageReady not included with CS3?

Greetings—
I'm disheartened to learn that CS3 does not include
ImageReady, which I use on a daily basis to create animated gifs.
Does Fireworks fill this void? I've tried vector-based animated
gifs via Flash, but the results have alway been very poor.
I appreciate your comments,
Jon

I won't argue with you about the html - I don't use html from
ANY
graphics app. I use the app for it's primary function -
working on
graphics. I can work just as fast or faster in DW to generate
my html.
I have been using Photoshop since version 2, and FW since
version 1. I
have never found IR to be nearly as intuitive as PS, though.
I'm not
app-bashing, just giving you my perspective as someone who
uses both
programs regularly.
IR did have more flexibility with slices (being able to
custom name auto
slices, for one) and I hope these types of features are
incorporated as
the program continues to evolve.
Splitting slices - I guess if it's something you're used to
doing, it
would be something you miss. Resizing slices has never been a
big deal
to me. I do not know your workflow, but another option is to
resize your
one slice to the dimensions you want and then press either
CTRL+SHIFT+D
to create a clone of the selected slice or CTRL+ALT+D to
create a
duplicate. Then just reposition the slice using the mouse or
arrow keys.
FW is a different workflow - and a faster one, if you give
yourself a
chance to learn the program. It's more closely akin to AI
rather than
Photoshop and it is a unique application in many ways. It is
not PS, but
it's not supposed to be. Working with vectors in FW is a
dream compared
to vectors in PS. Advanced bitmap editing is one of PS's
strongest
features, while FW does decent - but not advanced - bitmap
editing. They
are two different programs, FW comes from the vector world
and does a
pretty decent job of working with bitmaps. It's a hybrid
program and it
does flow differently than a completely bitmap-based app like
Photoshop.
You can select slices on the canvas and delete them. I do it
all the
time. Just click on the slice (or shift-click to select
multiple
slices)and press delete.
You can also select multiple slices - either in the slice
layer or on
the canvas and "batch" optimize them. Select them in the same
manner as
described above and then use the optimize panel to make your
format and
compression settings. If you want to see the result of the
optimize
settings, click on the preview tab while you're working.
As for the interface, well, like any dev cycle, there's only
so much
time to get things done. I'm sure UI will get a facelift
before long, as
it benefits Adobe to have a similar UI for all its apps.

IOS 4.3 SDK not included with AppStore purchase of Xcode?

Is there a way to download the new iOS 4.3 SDK without downloading the previous version of Xcode?
Shouldn't it be included with the distro?
If not, at least offer a place for us to download it separately.

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE ENTIRE THING!!!!!
I know how to just get the IOS SDK (iphone simulator). First the horrible thing is to download xcode. Then after you do all the downloading crap and sort, you go to developer file in your Macintosh HD (Start up hard drive). After you go into the Developer file, go to the Platform file. Afterwards, go to iPhoneSimulator.platform file. Copy that file to your Macintosh HD (I prefer a flash drive or somehthing cause the Iphone simulator works from there).
Then throw away Xcode and everything. Then the iPhoneSimulator.platform file will still b in your MAcintosh HD or flash drive and you can still use the Iphone simulator ( the iphone simulator will be in the iPhoneSimulator.platform file). THIS IS HOW TO GET JUST THE IPHONE SIMUALTOR AND NOT XCODE CAUSE IT TAKES UP A LOT OF BITS!!!!!!!! PEACE OUT!!!!!!!

Mac Book Pro mid 2010, bought the Mountain Lion but not included with iPhoto?

My friend bought the mountain lion yesterday, but iphoto and photostream not included in package?(model, mid 2010) Need to buy separate? If this so, why mine(model june 2012) just upgraded, have iPhoto with it?Any help will be appreciated

Do you still have the install discs from your original 2009 computer? It comes with two discs, the applications and the OS X install disc. You need the applications disc that has the installer. I used those on mine, then manually upgraded the 9.0 to 9.1, then 9.3.2.
9.1 update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1322
9.3.2 update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1562
Some people lost their discs in the past, and have ventured to talk to the Apple store. May be worth trying if you cannot find the discs. No guarantee of help though.

Acrobat 7 not included with Creative Suite 2 downloads?

Hey Jeff,
thanks for your reply, but I told not the whole truth
We have some CS2 Premium (for Mac) here and want to reinstall them, we've got no single Acrobat 7 here. If I want to reinstall the whole CS2 Premium or a part of it from our old installation media, I receive the message, that the activation server is unvavailable. When I use the three published DMG-Files to install CS2, there is no Acrobat 7 in it.
Is there any possibility to get Acrobat 7 for Mac as a single download-version or CS2 Premium instead of CS2 Standard?
Thanks

Ok well I have confirmed that the Mac version of Acrobat 7 does not include activation technology. Please install Acrobat 7 from your original installation media.
If you don't have a separate serial number then Acrobat will need to be licensed by one of the point products. So please customize the install to include both Acrobat and Photoshop for example. You will then need to launch Photoshop once, tell it to activate later, and then you should be able to run Acrobat successfully. You can then remove the copy of Photoshop and install from the new volume license software which is available at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l.

Serial number not included with CS6

I just purchased CS6. A serial number was not included. Can I call someone somewhere? I cannot seem to get the right info fron the Adobe site ..

if you don't have the old version installed you'll be prompted for both the serial number of the old version and the upgrade. you have to use the correct serials when prompted.

IWeb not included with iLife?

I bought my late 2009 27" iMac 4 months ago, which came with the iLife package. On the box, it showed that it included, as part of ilife; iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, and iWeb. My computer is fine, but iWeb was never installed. At all. I am not sure why, maybe im not qualified? it says on the box and in the manual, so i believe there should be a reasonable explanation for this. Hopefully someone here can help me find out how I can get my included iWeb.. i believe it includes the 2009 ilife package, and i should mention too that idvd was included (not sure if that is part of another ilife package possibly??)
Model Identifier : iMac10,1
System serial number : QP0251LJ5PE
Hardware UUID : 0E9B8894-2064-555D-9E5E-44495199D708

iWeb is included in iLife. Just you are saying it's not located in the Applications Folder. If you cannot see it still use Spotlight symbol (magnifying glass symbol in the upper right of your screen) and type iWeb. If it's not on your system you can install it from the Original iLife restore disc that came with your computer.
