Can`t register an used MBP 2007

Hello Apple Support Community
I just bought an MacBook Pro late 2007 from a Man from eBay.
Everythings fine with it, but I wanted to register it on to my Apple Support Profile.
I typed in the Serialnumber and pressed 'Enter'.
The Apple Website sayed, that this MacBook is already registered to another Apple-ID.
The former User didn't register it to his Apple-ID.
So, I can't put in in my Support profile and I can't call Apple, to ask them, because they want to know about which product I'm going to call.
Could someone help me, please?
And, Sorry for bad English...
Greetings from Germany.

Try calling the German support number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and explain the situation and ask for their assistance.  The fact that this machine is registered to another person than the one you purchased from makes it sound suspect.

  • Using MBP(2007) without Optical Drive?

    I have a late 2007 Macbook Pro whose optical drive has been broken. I don't even know when it stopped working. (that being said, I wish next MBP comes out without an optical drive)
    I'm wondering if I can just remove the broken optical drive and leave the space empty so that I can make the laptop lighter even if it's a little bit?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    I took the optical drive out of my MBP then installed a second HDD via a special bracket, I hardly use the optical drive and have an external drive to burn with on the 'once in a while' timeframe
    Works very well, but as D0GG said, fraction of weight is saved not really worth it for that alone.

  • Can I register a used ipod?

    I recently purchased a used 20GB 4th Gen. I was told that it was possible to "re-register" an ipod. I went to https://register.apple.com/ to do so, and when I typed in the serial number on the back it told me... "This information does not appear to be in our records." I also tried, as suggested, every possible typo (S for 5 and B for 8, etc.), but still nothing worked.
    Is it possible that my ipod is that old?

    Just as a matter of interest, try entering the serial number in the box on this page to check the warranty status. See if it works.

  • Can I use SCCM 2007 to deploy SCCM 2012 Agent

    I was reading the scenarios for deploying the SCCM 2012 agent here
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682132.aspx
    I have been planning to deploy the 2012 agent using an SCCM 2007 deployment package. I am not migrating any data/packages/collections/anything from SCCM 2007. 
    I am looking for a sane way to deploy 2000ish clients a day for 2 weeks and be done. 
    I figure they are all SCCM 2007 clients so lets deploy 2012 agent using SCCM 2007.
    I read the following in the link above and it sounds like the way I want to go – use SCCM 2007 software distribution…
    Upgrade installation by using application management
    Upgrades clients to a newer version by using Configuration   Manager application management. You can also use Configuration Manager 2007 software  
    distribution to upgrade clients to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
    Then later in the same document there is this…
    How to Upgrade Configuration Manager Clients by Using a Package and Program
    You can use Configuration Manager to create and deploy a package and program that upgrades the client software for selected computers in your hierarchy. A package definition file
    is supplied with Configuration Manager that populates the package properties with typically used values. You can customize the behavior of the client installation by specifying additional command line properties.
    You cannot upgrade Configuration Manager 2007 clients to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager by using this method.
    In this scenario, use automatic client upgrade, which automatically creates and deploys a package that contains the latest version of the client.
    What???!??  There is no Automatic client upgrade feature in 2007 – so how does that even make sense?  In one section, it says I can deploy the 2012 Agent using SCCM 2007 software distribution, and then later in the same document, it
    says I can't.  I am probably misunderstanding somthing.
    Is it possible to make a package/program in SCCM 2007 that will make targeted clients upgrade to Agent 2012 and join the new SCCM 2012 Site?

    I tested this (deploying 2012 agent using existing 2007 SCCM infrastructure) with a few test systems at my desk and it seems to work pretty smoothly.  I made a package to deploy SCCM 2012 SP1 and added it to my SCCM 2007 Site.  Then I deployed
    the 2012 agent from 2007 and it worked great.  If it works this well in production, I will be able to migrate all of my clients in less than a weeks time. 
    I have not published the 2012 site information in AD - and I don't plan to.  We would have some overlapping site boundaries - and in 2012 it seems its unnecessary in a single site hierarchy.  I AM planning to use boundaries to assign
    DPs, but thankfully site and DP boundaries have been separated.  It works great to just specify the site in everything and not worry about auto discovery.  My clients don't move among sites since I only have one large site.
    Sorry that I somehow posted this same question twice, and thanks for cleaning that up.
     In my installation, I just called ccmsetup.exe with the following command line...
     /mp:myMP.mydomain.com CCMLOGMAXHISTORY=5 CCMLOGMAXSIZE=1000000 SMSCACHEFLAGS=PERCENTDISKSPACE;NTFSONLY SMSCACHESIZE=10 SMSMP=myMP.mydomain.com SMSSITECODE=CCM
    I am not sure that I need to specify the MP twice, but it is working to do so.  I'm also not sure whether the log and cache flags will be honored since there are existing settings from SCCM2007 agent.  I think that the 2012 install will not change
    these settings upon installation, but it does not appear to hurt the process to include them just in case it does work.

  • I bought logic studio 8 used, how can I register it to my name?, I bought logic studio 8 used, how can I register it to my name?

    I bought this Logic studio 8 from craigs list, the guy who sold it to me said he never registered the program but I asume he installed it in his mac which he also said that it crashed and that was the reason to get rid of logic since he is using a pc now.
    He gave me the box with the serial numbers and prod ID as well as the manuals and dvds which I took and installed in my mac laptop so my question is, can I register this software to my name and how does this works?
    I know you can only install it in a desktop and a laptop belonging to only one owner.

    Thanks KiltedTim.
    I know a person who usedit for couple of months and now he would like to sell it.
    I want to know if anyone can use it in India. When I say  "use" that means download apps and purchase music from the store.
    I am asking this because that Iphone ll be registered in USA.

    Can I use imac 2007 which have dead hard drive as a Mac mini display

    If just the hard drive is defective you could mke a bootable USB thumb drive or bootable Firewire HD. Not sure of the connecting cables for the monitor functions. This could provide the functions though.

  • Been using Macs since classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) of entire (non-visible) folder? Any apps that can do this?

    Been using Macs since before classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents including what's not visible on screen (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) in entire folder?
    Screen shots are getting old hat.
    Tried select all, copy, paste into pages, but it didn't display date modified, size & kind, and also included images of selected files, which is too large. 
    Any apps/shortcuts/utilities that can do this?  Thanks in advance.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • I'm having trouble using the iTunes and Apps store because i can't register my Nigerian mastercard. What should i do. i'm trying to register it in the Nigerian iTunes store.

    I'm having trouble using the iTunes and Apps store because i can't register my Nigerian mastercard. What should i do. i'm trying to register it in the Nigerian iTunes store.

    Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
    1.     Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
    2.     You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.

  • My iPod classic has been stolen can I register this somewhere to prevent its use?

    Annoying how people don't respect other peoples things. My iPod Classic 160Gb has been stolen from my car. Can I register this somehwere to prevent its use or better still wipe it. I do have the SN.
    Thanks

    Sorry, but the Classic has no internet capabilities, so there is no way to wipe it. And without Find My iPhone (which requires Wifi or cellular, there is really nothing that you can do to trace it either).
    Your only option would be to report it to the police...
    Sorry about your troubles
