Brand new macbook and unable to update apps.

Hi. I am a new macbook owner, and I have six apps that need to be updated. Every time I go to the app store and click "update," it says: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."  I don't understand why, because I have used the same Apple ID for everything since I bought the notebook.  This began happening after I installed the new iOS update, Yosemite.
Thanks.

Are you using a cable like this one or an adapter like this? If you're using the latter then many people have reported troubles, however the former works quite well.
You can also use Time Machine to restore, so if your old machine is hooked up to an external HD setup for TM use that.
I'd recommend you look over Pondini's overview on Setup Assistant Tips.

  • Dropped frames on Brand New Macbook and Final Cut Express!

    I have recently bought a New Macbook, and installed Final Cut Express HD 3.5 on it. I have Quicktime Player 7.3. My Macbook is a 2GHz Intel Core Duo processor. Memory is 1GB 667 Mhz. I have already used up a lot of Hard Drive on my Laptop with other applications, and in my capture window it says that I have 24.5GB space (109 minutes). Could this be the problem - not enough space?
    I have looked over past discussions on this and in some cases I see that a downgrade to the old version of Quicktime has been necessary. As I have a new Macbook and new Final Cut Express HD, could this still be the case?
    Also I have been reading the manuals, and wonder if the frame rate or time code settings could be affecting the dropped frames? Does anyone know where I can check this?
    I'm a total newbie to FCE so be gentle....
    Appreciate all advice

    You are quite frankly, a genius. I have just managed to capture my footage after a gruelling few days of trying just about anything. Your recommendations regarding settings and also the external hard drive have fixed my problem.
    I'm going to have a large glass of wine now to celebrate my victory - and then I'm going to try and figure out how you actually use FCE after that.... er hem... now where did I put that manual..?
    Thanks loads

  • New Macbook and unable to transfer info from old Mackbook pro

    I got a new Macbook pro and I'm have been unable to transfer any information from the "old" macbook pro to the new one.
    I tried the migration assistant via firewire took several hours to finish later the new computer restart and brought me agin to the setup page asking me to migrate again, I did it twice and it kept happening.
    Later I tried to use a backup from the time machine, after some time the new computer erased all the backups from the time machine.
    What can i do? Which files can you move? Do I have to reinstall everything?

  • Brand new BB playbook -Unable to update software

    Need help!
    I just got my PB today.  I have followed all the setup steps until software update.  I kept getting "Unable to download software update."  I have perfectly fine WIFI connection at home.  I even tried put it next to the router.
    The current OS version is 1.0.0.1439, and trying to download version 1.0.3.1868
    I have retried many times and couldn't do anything other than "Restart", "Retry" and "Turn Off"
    This Software Update step should have a skip button instead of trying to update as unless the update is complete you just cant use the device...its quite frustrating.

    Raji,
    Can you change your router settings from secure mode to OPEN. This will only be a temporary change. Go into your computer settings for Wireless Network, click on Properties and somewhere there you may have a Security Setting such as WPA which can be changed to OPEN. Once set to open, try the download. Try it and report back.

  • I plug my iPod touch (4th gen) into my computer, and the computer nor iTunes recognizes the device. It is a brand new ipod, and I already updated my iTunes to the current version. Help! I want to get music off of my computer!

    Why won't it recognize?

    iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
    I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
    I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
    I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
    I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
    I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong.

    I have a mac computer 3.2 Ghz intel core i3   with memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3,  I have recently purchased an new macbook and have yosemite software and iCloud .  I can no longer us my mac to open up recent numbers documents from my macbook.  I am unable to upgrade to allow me to get the current numbers version on my mac. What do I need to do to get all my machines woking in harmony again

    On each machine turn on iCloud and sync all the available apps. Apple explains how to set up iCloud in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    After doing this run software update on each machine and install all the suggested updates. If you still need help installing the most up-to-date versions of iLife and iWorks open the Mac App Store - click the Purchased tab and update all that need to be updated.

  • Brand new MacBook Pro updated to Lion now it is so slow

    Hi Everyone,
    I have just purchased a brand new MacBook Pro, upon setting it up it promted me to update software which I did so it's currently running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. My server provider is Optus and I live in the heart of Sydney.
    I am new to the world of Mac's so don't really know wether my problem is opertator caused or not...How ever I currently have such slow internet I am unable to even watch you tube videos. It takes over a minute just to load pages and I am feeling a huge amount of frustration as I have a brand new computer and am on an expensive all inclusive package by one of the most recognised providers in Australia yet am getting rediculously slow internet.
    Can anyone suggest what the cause of this may be and and changes I should make.
    Thanks

    Have you installed any programs since you got the Mac? Also look to the right of the page and you'll see a list of posts under 'More Like This'. Have a read trough them to se if you can find solutions on issues similar to yours.

  • Brand New MacBook Pro. Won't Update

    Hello
    Setup my brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina 2.5Ghz 8GB Ram today.
    Current OS: OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1
    Would like to update to OSX 10.8.2 but the update does not show in the App Store.
    I downloaded the files from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581 but does not work as i get a "This Volume does not meet the requirements" and so can't update.
    How can i fix this. Thanks.

    Think i solved my own problem.
    Am I correct in thinking that Apple have installed a special build of OSX 10.8.1 on MacBook Pros and have not yet released an update for 10.8.2 on MacBook Pro?
    Amazining that i can never find anything i need untill i created my own topic and then what i need meraculously appears in the related topics!

  • I bought a brand new mac and follow through setting up process with my apple id but when I open App Store I don't see lion into the purchases list. why?

    I bought a brand new mac and follow through setting up process with my apple id but when I open App Store I don't see lion into the purchases list. why?

    Updates come through Software Update not the App Store. If you have to reinstall Lion that is done via Internet Recovery.
    OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery
    OS X Lion- Run Software Update to use Lion Internet Recovery
    Lion maintenance and recovery operate via the Recovery HD. It's possible to create a separate recovery disk on a flash drive using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.
    To boot into the Recovery HD:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

  • Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

    Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
    Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
    Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
    Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
    I am running Snow leopard.
    I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
    I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
    Thanks

    Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
    The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
    Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
    What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
    I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
    Hope that helps.

  • I bought a brand new macbook, but it keeps asking me to update, but the email is "associated with another account" Help!

    So I bought a brand new macbook from Amazon, and it came factory sealed (Not my first time buying a macbook, last one I bought was from Apple directly) but after I got this, I put in my apple I.D. and it told me there were updates available. I told it to go ahead and update, and it updated about half of the list, but the essential stuff (pages, notes, etc) it says "This software was installed using another Apple I.D. Please logon with that I.D. to install the software."  I'm a bit baffled by this as it is a brand new mac and so I don't know why anyone else's I.D. would be logged into this mac.  I'm not really worried about it though, as I don't really need to update my pages, etc, as I like what I have, but I'd love for this stupid "updates availble" popup to stop popping up every freaking day!!!
    Anyone have any suggestions on finding out how to either gain access to update, or get rid of that "other" i.d. that is somehow associated with my brand new macbook?
    I'm running OSX 10.9 if that is of any consequence.

    Then it simply was NOT Brand New. Doesn't matter what the box looked like when you got it or if you went through the setup pages when you first turned it on. If it is registered to some other Apple ID then someone else had originally registered it and locked it to there ID.
    Type in the serial number of the system into this page.
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    And see when it was originally registered.
    Then send it back to Amazon as Used.

  • Brand new Macbook Pro freezes after iTunes-update??

    Updated itunes to 10.5.1 last night and now itunes and my brand new Macbook Pro freezes whenever I open iTunes. I got it last week and it has worked perfectly, but now it freezes and has trouble finding the wifi. What to do?? Can I somehow undo the update?

    Is this Java based game Runescape? I experience the same crashes, ive tried using other things in-game other than the OpenGl and i still experience crashes, much more often when i have iTunes running while trying to play. Ive never had problems like this before, even while using older computers with much less memory, etc.. This is my first mac and id have to say it's not leaving a good impression. I planned to be able to play some games on this and consider Runescape requires very low CPU this is kind of sad that a Mac can't process it without crashing. Ive been reading lots of similar posts online and it sounds like Apple should be worried more about customer satisfaction than their own stocks. Hope something works out soon!!

  • Brand new macbook pro and it doesn't have garageband on it?

    i recently brought a brand new macbook pro and it doesn't have garageband on it? do i have to do something to get it? i think it was on here but now its gone?
    i have imovie and iphoto

    If you haven' tried, look in your Applications folder because according to Apple GB comes pre installed.
    http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook_pro
    If it's not in your Applications folder launch the App Store.
    Locate the GB app.
    Instead of the price just under the GB icon on the left see if it says:  Install

  • Brand new MacBook Pro (Lion) and Multiple Applications are quitting unexpectedly including iCal

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro and for some reason applications, in particular iCal, seem to quit unexpextedly all the time.  Not sure why but I am using iCal for both iCloud and Google Apps for my business.
    Anyone else having this issue or have some solutions I could try?
    Thanks!

    ds store is right: the machine is obviously faulty. Tell them about the card reader problem and get the machine exchanged. Don't let them fob you off with a service. I had a problem with the DVD drive, the trackpad and the card reader in the first year of my 2009 MBP and each time I let them get away with 'servicing' until the Warranty ran out, and I now have to use a cable for the camera, can only use 'tap' (not click) on the trackpad and have to use an external DVD writer.
    Like you, I'd had a previous Apple laptop (2004 iBook) that could take a direct hit from a Scud missile and still function perfectly (indeed, its still going now) , so I was not as insistent as I should have been.
    Apple machines are great, but every now and again you get a dud.
