Buying 8 month old MBP, can I transfer registration and buy Applecare?

Buying an 8 month old MBP, can I transfer owner registration and buy Applecare?

I've always understood that the original owner can transfer ownership, but the buyer cannot initiate that process.
Call an Apple store and ask them about the process - used to be the seller sent in a letter with serial number of equipment and statement of transfer of ownership, signed by both parties. Then the equipment and remaining warranty were yours, and yes, you could add AppleCare if within the original one year warranty.
They may have a way to do it online now, but just call a store and ask one of the reps there about exactly how to do it.

Can't transfer registration or buy subscription (after moving within Europe)

Hi all, hoping for some help.
I moved from Ireland to France.
My Account and store purchases are still registered as Ireland and cannot be changed online.
I contacted Adove Livechat and was told they can't help that it would have to be escalated and someone should be in contact withn me via email.
Problem is I want to take advantage of the Photoshop+Lightroom subscription deal straight away but I can't do it until my account and registered products are shown as France so I can pay with my French credit card, VAT details etc.
Fingers crossed someone can help or someone from Adobe Store has the answer.

Hi Cormac
Unfortunately we cannot change the country associated with an Adobe ID. Do you have another email address you could use to create a new ID with France as the country? We could then transfer your product registrations to the new ID & you can then sign up for the Photoshop Photography Program.
Kind regards
Bev

3 months old MBP & hard drive crashes - Does Apple really cares????

3 months old MBP hard drive simply crash and died on me, when sent to Apple centre the lady only concern is why didn't I purchase a apple care protection plan. Telling me other failures may result in costly replacement of parts and long lead time after warranty period. It seems to me Apple really cares is to make money and more of it.
I have been using PCs all my life, when the whole world was trying to stop me from getting a MAC. I went ahead believing that Apple have taken steps to improve their product. All my previous laptops works perfertly fine for at least 3 years. My reasoning is MBP cannot be such a lousy product that cannot last that long. Or is Apple confirming the truth that their MACs will not last their users anything more than 1 year thus encouraging users to buy additonal warranty.
The question is "Is Apple product so unreliable that we have to buy additional protection plan from day 1"
I hope some one can give me some answers, it is not about the money but the data that stores inside that has become too damaging for my business.

"Is Apple product so unreliable that we have to buy additional protection plan from day 1"
By no means. Don't take some salesperson's attempt to push AppleCare on you as any indication other than her personal opinion. Sometimes things break. It's unfortunate, but it happens. If things didn't fail, we wouldn't need warranties at all. And with electronic devices it's more likely to happen early in their life than it would be later. I might point out that Apple buys hard drives from the same companies that every other computer manufacturer does, so the hard drives have exactly the same chance of failure in a Mac as they would have in any other computer. And you have a one-year warranty on your computer so having the extended warranty at this point is irrelevant.
s Apple confirming the truth that their MACs will not last their users anything more than 1 year thus encouraging users to buy additonal warranty.
No more than any other company that sells an extended warranty for their product is saying that. If you want to purchase an extended warranty, it's up to you. The majority of computer owners, for almost any brand, never have need for a warranty at all, much less an extended warranty. But out-of-warranty repairs can be expensive enough - and again, this is true of any computer, particularly laptop computers where the components tend to be more expensive - that many people opt for extended warranties to ensure that for the duration of the extended warranty there will be no unexpected failures and consequent costs. It's like buying fire insurance for your house; the likelihood that your house will catch fire is small, but the cost involved if you don't have insurance is so great that I'd wager you do indeed have fire insurance if you own a house.
it is not about the money but the data that stores inside that has become too damaging for my business.
That's why you make backups. Any hard drive can fail. Or your laptop might get lost or stolen which would of course not be Apple's fault nor the fault of any of their component suppliers.

Wife has a Kindle, Kid is buying a ipad. Can I transfer songs from my amazon cloud over to icloud without having to repurchase?

Wife has a Kindle, Kid is buying an ipad. Can I transfer songs and pictures from amazon cloud over to icloud?

Yes, and there are a couple ways to do this, and it may depend on what kind of songs you are talking about.
If you purchased songs from Amazon's ecosystem, and it is stored in their cloud, you can do the following:
1) Download their app.
     The app is called Amazon Cloud Player. The link is here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-cloud-player/id510855668?mt=8
2) Download the songs from their cloud, to your computer and then sync with iTunes
     This is the method I use, and all the music is then stored in the Music app, already on the iOS device. The upside to this method would be that all the other applications you have can access these songs too, such as apps for an alarm clock.
3) Upload pictures and songs to Dropbox
     This way all the content is stored in the cloud, and can be accessed anywhere and anytime.
For the pictures, you're most likely going to have to sync with iTunes to do that, or you can put them in Dropbox.

When i open my computer the login page comes up and then goes dark right away. i have to shut down and turn on to get to work. just a month old mbp 15. just started it today. any suggestions. software says it is up to date.

when i open up computer the login screen comes up and then goes dark right away. can't do anything with it. close lid and open up and it comes up again and then goes dark. i have to shut off and restart to get through the login page. then seems to work untill i close lid again. just started this today. software is up to date. using a month old mbp 15. any suggestions? thanks.

You could try wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS and all your programs.
Did you install any programs yesterday?
If not it may be best to take it to an Apple care center and have it checked out. Take it in while it is asleep so you ccan show then what is happening.

In I cal, I am trying to make a schedule for the gym. It is basically the same every month. How can I transfer it from month to month.? Please help me.

Set each day to repeat? Edit the event, and select repeat. You can set a custom repeat, if it's specific days and not specific dates, for instance.

What's with the monthly subscription? Can we no longer just buy the program as a one-time fee?

What's with the monthly subscription? Can we no longer just buy the program as a one-time fee?

Yes you can, but they have made it very confusing as to that option (trying to get folks to use subscription -- please let them know what you think of this policy). The link is at http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_mostpopular.html. The default is the subscription, but if you click on the "I want to buy" drop down list there is both the full and upgrade versions available. It is so confusing that if you don't know it is available you would probably never find it. I did not find it until some other MVPs pointed it out and several of us have complained.

My old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc.

my old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc. how can i make it copy everything?
cheers!

The iPhone is NOT a storage device so it does not support transferring it's data to another iTunes library. You can transfer purchased iTunes music and apps, but any music you ripped yourself or purchased from somewhere else cannot be transferred without purchasing some additional 3rd party product.
Certainly in this digital age, everyone is backing up their important data, right? You can take the backup copy of the data on your broken computer and load it into your new one.

IPhone Video - even a 17 months old baby can handle it

Apple products are well known for their easy handling and their user friendliness.
This video (created on iMovie of course) shows that even a 17 months old baby can unlock the iPhone, start a song, scroll through pictures... enjoy!

I wish all of you Merry Christmas and a good start into 2010.
Best regards.

Sorry, but your warranty is just that, and what you would need is an insurance policy. Warranties typically do not cover loss, theft or accidental breakage, at least not unless bundled with a "protection" package or deal.
Ask your parents though if their homeowners policy might cover it?
Oh, and the only way to track it was if you had already enabled the track my iPhone option with your iCloud account settings before it was stolen. And to track it, it would need to be on a network connection, either wifi or 3G.

Hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

You are under warranty. You can call Applecare and get advice from the tech rep, or you can bring it to an Apple store or authorized Apple service provider.

I'm running Yosemite on my present computer, if I buy a new computer with Mountain Lion, can I transfer apps and info?

I'm using Yosemite now, new computer comes with Mountain Lion, can I transfer apps and info?

You can, but there is a high risk of leaving OS X in your new Mac unusable. This is because Migration Assistant will detect that your new Mac has got preinstalled apps with an older version than the ones you have in the "old" Mac, and it will try to replace them. However, the new apps versions are designed for Yosemite, so you will not be able to open any application.
Because of that, I recommend you to set up the new Mac without transferring your data, and upgrade it to Yosemite. Then, use Migration Assistant to transfer your files.

Hi duongtt! Sorry to hear you have a problem with BFM. Can you please send me the error logs so I can forward them to the development crew. Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:
1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
5. PM a shared dropbox link to me. Best regards Fredrik

I have 2 Macs - an iMac that holds my entire iPhoto library and a Mac Book Pro that I use to hold a subset of the main library - how can I transfer photos and their metadata from the main library of the iMac to my Mac Book?

I have 2 Macs - an iMac which holds my main iPhoto library and a Mac Book Pro which holds a subset of the library. How can I transfer photos and their metadata from the main library to the smaller 1 on the Mac Book Pro?

Link the two Macs together and use iPhoto Library Manager
