Can Somebody tell me how to get my MBP like it Was...
I received a new MBP (thanks to a genius who was tired of trying to fix all my software and hardware issues). The same tech said when the new MBP comes in he will transfer my data, settings, etc to my new computer and update it. I did not think of it at the time, but when I got the MBP (the new one back) and realized he transfered everything, Preferences settings, files, folders, even the programs in a seperate folder-all that I would think one could transfer in regards to software. When my new MBP started acting up I realized a lot of the stuff it was doing was what my old MBP was doing.
I called him and asked if we should have tried to fix the software issues before transferring everything or maybe just putting them in folders and I could save my bookmarks, docs, etc. but trash all the settings, preferences, stuff like that.
I would like to get the notebook back to how it arrive at the Apple Store plus with the latest important updates. I know it involves some critical stuff, but I do not have enough confidence that I will be able to accomplish what needs to be done and have it done correctly.
Are there articles for a new MBP that walks a person step by step in removing everything, wiping the HD clean and doing a fresh install, step by step in the correct order of things and leaving everything off other then my passwords, bookmarks, and a few docs?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Thanks Roger-
What about the bookmarks? I really have nothing I want to save and transfer over because all I have been through with the old MBP and now this new one with the data that was transferred from my old MBP. I would have thought that the genius guy would have thought about the problems since he was the one who tried to fix the old MBP and left to talk to the manager and came back to tell me they were going to get me a new MBP.
Anyway, what about the ONE-to-One that I registered on this computer and I have a link to click that brings me to my page and other things like my keychain or all my passwords and usernames? It looks like I missed some with the new MBP because it does not have a name and some small stuff like that is missing because I did not do a set-up. The genius guy did the transfer of all my stuff from my old MBP.
There were a lot of updates that the genius guy did get (but when I got the MBP, I have been unable to get the machine to tell me I have new updates). I had to find out was I really missing updates or was it something else. I tried to find the place that lists the updates that come across <Apple>Software Updates... I found several "latest updates, recent 3rd party updates, top Apple downloads, but I am not sure which category is the one that tells me the updates I should have had. I know that iTunes it missed, but the rest I am not sure which list has the updates I need.
Make any sense? I did not get an iLife disk. Is iLife on the grey disks now?

Hi, I download the latest version of itunes and i have problem now to sync my iphone with my computer, I have windows 7 home premium service pack 1, can somebody tell me how to fix it. thanks
This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

I am new to Mac Pro and am purchasing one online tonight. Can anyone tell me how to get my information - Itunes, photos, and videos transferred onto the Mac from my Toshiba. the state I live in doesn't have an Apple store but I could take it to Minneapolis when I go. Any ideas where to begin?
You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my ipad to appear on my TV using Apple Tv
Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my IPad to be viewed on my Apple TV?
Welcome to the Apple Community Coachcad.
Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7) -

I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.
The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

I have configured my android to connect to .me / cloud email. It works. But is does not do automatic email delivery. It seems to do fetch, not push. The settings are for imap. Can anybody tell me how to get push?
As Roger said, iCloud does not support external POP accounts.
However, you can configure your Max to directly receive your Yahoo! email by following these instructions:
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110208153256491
Note that this works (for me) without a Yahoo Plus! account - and make sure that you scroll down to the comment at the end of the article which has all of the correct settings in one place.

PLEASE CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO GET PHOTOSHOP CC TO RECOGNISE MY PRINT PROFILES?
Profile problem
A question Adobe do not seem to be able to answer. Or rather they do not understand my problem.
I am having a problem getting Colour profiles for my printing papers recognised by Photoshop CC in My Mac OSX10.10.1 Yosemite
To put the profiles onto the Mac I did as follows >Computer>Mac HD >Library>Colour Sync >profiles >Recommended -then dragged the profile into this file.
The profiles appear in the print dialogue in Photoshop CS5 which I also have on my Mac
The profiles appear in Lightroom 5
In Photoshop CC the profile is NOT shown in the print dialogue and the profile list is very much shorter than in CS5.
Please can you tell me how to get Photoshop CC to recognise my print profiles?
I was thinking I would need to delete and re install but I have just downloaded the latest edition of Photoshop CC and the same problem applies.
It is rather frustrating to have to go from CC to CS5 in order to make a print!
Many Thanks
Tom Derbyshire
[email protected]I don't know if this applies to your problem, but past problems in this form seem to recommend updating the printer driver when using Yosemite.

THe live chat has been unavailable for two weeks and there is no other option to get in touch with these people. Any ideas anyone?
Hi SwarovskiUK,
I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble contacting Customer Care. Live Chat is certainly available--are you not seeing the chat option on the Contact Customer Care page? Or are just not able to get through?
In any case, I should be able to help you myself. What can I do for you?
Best,

I keep getting this error when I try to download apps or songs : MZCommerce.CreditBalance Mismatch.Mobile_message Can someone tell me how to get rid of this? It is very aggravating when trying to use the IPAD.
Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference. -
