Buying a new Mac Book

I want to buy a new Mac Book - a Black one.
As I live in Cornwall - this is a problem.
I want to go to a store and buy it but there isnt a store for miles.
Anyone got any ideas ? Someone said there was an Apple Store due to open in Exeter ( Devon)
Thanks

I know you really want to go to an Apple store but you should consider www.johnlewis.com as you get free delivery and a two year warranty to boot!
I got mine from the store in Cambridge, but is they didn't have it in stock I would have brought it online from them.
Here is a link straight to the Black MacBook: http://www.johnlewis.com/Technology/Computers/Computers/Laptops/398/230427045/Pr oduct.aspx
Good luck.

There is a US$10 adapter from old power adapter to new MacBook Pro.

The MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter allows you to use the MagSafe connector on your LED Cinema Display, Thunderbolt Display, or MagSafe Power Adapter to charge your MagSafe 2-equipped Mac computer.
For battery life, check the latest Software Update for the fix for most problems.

I want to buy a new mac book, and i need if can use my old one to have a discount?

you can - it's calle Apple Recycling Program - they would give you a gift card with x amount of $$ in it and you can use it towards the purcase of you new macbook.
i do however, suggest you sell your old macbook privately so you can get more for it.
in any event, here's the link for Apple Recycling Program

My old ibook and new mac book pro

Hi, Hope someone can solve my problem. Thanks!
I had a ibook G4 which just dead already, cannot start-up, but the hard disk can be take out from my ibook and the data is still in the hard disk.
If I buy a new mac book, How can I transfer my ibook data, setting, itune account, etc. to my new mac book? but the ibook cannot start-up anymore. How can i solve it ?

Even if your old Mac cannot start up it still may work in target disk mode. (Start up holding the T key down) If it does connect it to your new Mac using a firewire cable the new Mac will then see the old one as an external disk and Apple's utility will do the job. If target disk mode will not work get an external case for the hard drive and it will become an external drive (I got mine from Macsales) Be sure you get the correct kind. A case for serial ATA case won't work. A firewire case will work fine. A USB case may not need a power supply for the drive and will be slower.

I have a new Mac Book Pro. If I buy Lightroom 5 now, may I upgrade to Lightroom 6 for free ?

I have a new Mac Book Pro. If I buy Lightroom 5 now, may I upgrade to Lightroom 6 for free ?

No one knows.
The usual Adobe policy in the past is if you purchase a version of Lightroom and within 30 days a newer version comes out, they will give you a free upgrade. The problem is, Adobe never pre-announces when the new version will be coming out. (And of course, Adobe could announce a different policy for Lightroom 6)
So, its up to you whether you buy now or wait.

Do you need to buy antivirus and firewall software for a new mac book pro?

If you purchase a new Mac book pro retina does it need antivirus and firewall products?

No. Although disabled when you buy it, OS X has a built-in firewall that you can easily turn on should you need to. You would only need to if you were connecting to public Wi-Fi networks like at Starbucks. AV protection is also built-in to OS X.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware

If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using ClamXav.

I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
Thanks!

You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
or...
Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

Problems with new Mac Book Pro 13'' +power adaptor

Hi there,
I'm new here and first of all I'd like to appologize from my lack of technical language, since my only interesst in computers is that they don't give me problems so I can keep not knowing too much about them.
Ok, so I bought the new Mac Book Pro 13'' exactly 2 months ago cause my old and long travelled Power Book G4 died. I didn't hesitate to spend the money to buy the new one, cause I was so happy with my experience with the old one and in my mind returning to PCs was not even considered.
BUT...I'm not totally happy about my new laptop...from day 1 Safari would just close itself but I didn't give too much thought about it. After this, not only Safari can close up to several times a day, but also iphoto or any other program that I use for work. But that's not all..One day it would take minutes to start running and it would go extremely slow...another day it would start also very slow but also it wouldn't show the tools bar on top or my folders. Another time it would show me, instead of the normal starting page, a page where it would ask me to accept or not a kind of revision for hardware. After so many problems of course I pressed yes...everything seemed normal, then computer started and seemed to be running normal again (aside from this safari and other programs that shut down). Today my computer, when moved, just went totally blank but fortunately I could start it with nor problems after it.
So...anyone knows what the problem must be?? Should I take it to a Technical service ??? and there's another issue...i'm handing in m phD in a week so I can't just be without computer now, and in a week I'm flying to Canada where I also will need my computer for work...what can I do???
And the second problem...the power adaptor from the beginning seemed to act funny sometimes...sometimes charching, sometimes not, I would follow the instructions in the support part and after being several minutes changing one cord for the other, to keep it 1 minute disconnected and so at some point it would start functioning again. But this happened seldom so also I would think it was a protectiion mechanism of the adapter. But, when this is happening more often than not, then it gets annoying. Also I've been transporting it in a careful way since I bought it to find that after only 2 months in the cord (from the computer to adaptor) you can see the internal cable as if there was some cut...a third one seems to be appearing too. I've taken it to the technical support and the guy who was helfpul but also honest said he couldn't do anything for me cause since there were those cuts, he could always be said that it was a misuse of it-an accident and then he would have to pay the replace himself. Well, it's not!!! My old adaptor has been transported in a way less careful way and it's survived with NO problems for 5 years. The material is clearly different from the old cord. This one because it's new, I only need to put it in a special bag air protected. Honestly I don't feel happy to pay 80 € for an adaptor that I don't know if it's gonna last me only 2 months or that I know I can't transport normally. The guy suggested me to ask in forums and to call directly to the apple technical service.
Again, has anyone had any similar problems with the adaptor???

Take it to an Apple retailer and have the computer repaired. It is still in warranty.

Can I use my lightroom 5 CD on more than one computer? Toshiba to my new Mac Book Pro?

I have Lightroom 5 CD that I've used for 2 years in my Toshiba laptop. I have a new Mac Book Pro and was wondering if I purchase an external CD for it, can I use my software on my new computer. I wasn't sure if it can be used on more than one computer...It doesn't say on the software box.
Thank you so much!

There are normally three options: License, buy or try. See image below.
Did you double click on the package in downloads to start the installation?

I can't add printers to my new mac book pro with retina display

I am trying to set up my HP wireless printer to my new mac book pro with retina display. I can't get it to work! I have down loaded the latest driver for my printer, and when I go into the printer area and try and add the printer, nothing shows up and it won't let me even add it. I can't seem to connect my mac directly to my printer either as I must need a different cord as there does not seem to be a port for the "phone like jack" that I could fall back on with my old Mac. My printer prints great so I hate to just buy a new printer, but I can't get this to work. My wireless router is located in the basement, far away from where I keep my printer so it also makes it hard to rest everything. I even bought the blue tooth adaptor for the HP printer thinking that would solve it all, and nope! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have made some progress.... I can print wirelessly from my printer now, but I can't set the printer itself to be wireless. I had to move my printer downstairs to where my router is...which is not that convient. I printed up the page you asked about....and as expected, it says it is off line and there is no IP address. So now I need to figure out how to make my printer itself wireless. I did download the HP driver I needed...but I can't access it to do anything else. It seems l like I am missing a step... or I need to hook up my computer itself to the printer to help get the printer to be wirelss, but I can't hook it up because there is no port for me to do that (no port that looks like a phone jack). I am guessing I would need a different type of cord, but I am not sure what kind of cord that would be! Ugh!
