Can't run Lightroom on a new MacBook Pro

It loads the splash screen, then the lightroom window with grey background (no panels) then an error message pops up saying "An error has occured when attempting to change modules".
I tried both with Lightroom 5.3 and 5.4
Any help?
Thanks a lot !

Hi Rikk, thanks,
yes I just tried all those suggested solutions but they didn't work, actually I don't have that folder structure that they're saying... (/Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist), my library folder is not there, is in HDname/Library and anyway it doesn't contain those files.

Can't Connect Via Ethernet on new MacBook Pro

Hello,
I'm running into a frustrating problem and hoping someone can help.
I have a new MacBook Pro that won't connect via Ethernet. My old computer (Powerbook G4) with the same settings works flawlessly.
Details: under Network Settings I have Automatic/Using DHCP. When I click on Assist Me>Diagnostics, I get green lights all the way down (Built-In Ethernet, Network Settings, ISP, Internet, Server). The Diagnostics tool therefore proudly announces that my Internet connection is working correctly.
When I open Safari, however, it won't open any page. Using Ping I also get no responses.
When I plug the exact same ethernet cable into my Powerbook G4, everything works flawlessly. The only difference is that the IP address ends in .25 instead of .30 (I assume that's from the router assigning different IP addresses to the two computers.)
On another forum i read about someone having a problem with a long/lossy ethernet cable, but I just took my computer to the router and tried with a 2-foot ethernet cable. Same situation.
Help!
Thanks

i rebooted the firewall and it worked.

Can you put windows on a new macbook pro

can you put windows on a new macbook pro ? yes or no, which notebook can i put windows on if not the macbook pro?

WIndows 7 is the only Windows OS supported by the new Macs.
You usually use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive and install the Windows product on the Mac.
This creates a system where you boot into Mac OSX OR Windows.
see more at http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
There are programs such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion that can create a Virtual Machine within Mac OSX - giving you access to both Operating Systems at once. You may get slight performance issues as you would be essentially running two Operating Systems at once.

I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

I tried to run BootCamp on my new macbook pro, but i could not partition because of an apparent bad sector

I tried to run BootCamp on my new macbook pro, but i could not partition because of an apparent bad sector.
I reformatted the macbook, but the mac could not even boot up Mac OS Lion.
As such, I had to go down to my retailer and reinstall Lion.
What exactly went wrong?

When I tried to bootcamp a few days ago, the partition could not work.
My technician told me that there is a bad sector.
So he reformatted, and Lion disaappeard. There was no O.S at all.
I went down to my retailer just now.
They ran a system check on the RAM, and the HDD.
They did not find any bad sector, and everything was okay.
They reinstalled Lion and now its okay again
But I'm afraid to try and bootcamp again because they same thing might happen?

Can't reinstall Snow Leopard on new MacBook Pro

I had a old Macbook pro running Snow Leopard that died. I used Time Machine to restore to my brand new MacBook Pro. I decided to do an Archive and Install to start with a fresh system even though the new machine is working fine. The install disk is an early Snow Leopard release which loads fine, but when I run the install or try to restart from it, I get the Apple icon, but it never shifts to the installation process (nor can I check with Disk Utiity). Any suggestions?

There is no Archive & Install option for Snow Leopard. Instead, its installer offers a single "no brainer" option that replaces the existing OS (if there is one) with a fresh copy of Snow Leopard & leaves your existing user settings, documents, etc. untouched (if there are any). You can think of it sort of like doing an Archive & Install with an automatic reintegration of your user stuff from the archive, except that there is no archive & no Previous System folder full of now useless junk that you can't use with the new OS anyway. It automatically moves some known-incompatible software to an "Incompatible Software" folder (go figure!) at the root of the HD, automatically installs or skips certain items depending what is already on the HD (if there is anything on it to begin with), & does several other things that the old installer was too dumb to be able to do without a lot of tedious human help.
If you want to do an erase & install (which isn't usually necessary or desirable if you want to take advantage of all the advanced features of the new installer) you can do that too, but you must take the extra step of going to the Utilities menu, choosing Disk Utility from it, & using its Erase function to erase the volume before installing Snow Leopard on it.
Basically, it is as close to a "one button" installer as Apple can make it & far more sophisticated than any previous installer.

How do I run Disk Warrior on new MacBook Pros?

I am trying to help my good friend who purchased a Late-2012 Macbook Pro 13-inch Core i5 2.5 GHz. It runs 10.8 ML. WIth reckless technical abandon, she swamped and corrupted her HD directory with repeated massive transfers of large-size photo files in and out of her laptop when the drive was already probably at least 95% full to capacity. She probably experienced repeated Out-of-Memory notifications as she would try to perform these ops while Photoshop was using almost all available free space on the same disk as Scratch Storage for its operations.
Suddenly she could not boot her MBP. She called Apple warranty support, and they convinced her the only thing she could do was to wipe the HD and reinstall the OS. Angry as **** about losing about 3 weeks of critical photo images since her last backup, she dutifully obeyed. She said the wipe operation took only a part of a minute.
So, with that background, I told her I felt the wipe was not a low-level erase at all, but just the most minimal erase procedure possible, and that I thought many of her old files may be recoverable with a tool like DiskWarrior if she did it immediately, before starting to reinstall applications and other content back onto the disk.Can anyone back me up on this?
Now, on to how I can try to do the recovery. She has considered sending the drive out to a "clean room" recovery service, but before doing so at great cost, I wanted to at least try a DiskWarrior directory repair. With no optical drive, she cannot boot from the Disk Warrior 7.X DVD, or create a bootable CD or DVD to run Disc Warrior for the same reason. How else can we force the MBP to allow the hard drive to be read by DiskWarrior? Can I load DW on a FireWire drive and use Thunderbolt-to-FW adapter on MBP to boot from it? Disk Warrior's website still says "The current DiskWarrior DVD cannot start up the new MacBook Pros introduced June 11, 2012. An updated disc that will also start up these recent Mac models will be released as soon as Apple, Inc. releases new startup files to Alsoft, Inc. and other developers." Do I still have to wait for something from Apple? Or can I put the MBP in Target Mode and run DW connected via FireWire (and Thunderbolt adapter) from my own MacBook running OSX Lion? And hopefully repair her directory? Is there hope here?

You'll need to install Windows on your Macbook. This can be done by either using Boot Camp (free, from Apple) or Parallels Desktop for Mac (free trial, $80 retail). Either approach requires that you own an additional copy of Windows (Windows XP sp2 for Boot Camp) which you will then install on your Mac.
In brief, Boot Camp sets up your Mac so you can boot into either OS X or Windows (but not have both running at the same time; you switch via a reboot), and Parallels creates a virtual machine in which you will run Windows while OS X is running. You're correct that you can't run Virtual PC on your Intel-based Mac. Parallels will give you that functionality on your Mac (and be a lot faster than Virtual PC in the process).
You might want to start with Parallels' free trial and see if that meets your needs for these CDs. Parallels doesn't require that you make changes to your partitions on your drive; it just installs an application and creates a virtual disk which to OS X is just another file (albeit a large one), and you don't need to reboot to switch back and forth between Windows and OS X. If it works, you're set.
If you have graphics adapter-intensive Windows applications (e.g., games or something that requires 3D acceleration), you'll be better off with Boot Camp, because the current version of Parallels does not support DirectX or 3D hardware acceleration.
Hopefully that will get you started. There's other info in the Discussions comparing Parallels to Boot Camp, but feel free to ask if you have questions.

HT4007 How can I get Aperture onto my new Macbook Pro 15" Retina that DOESN'T have a superdrive from my 5 year old Macbook Pro? I still have the CD and serial number for Aperture. HELP! PLEASE!!

Like the thread topic says. I need help getting Aperture onto my new macbook pro that does not have a drive. I have no need for a drive after this to be honest just need my programs back on it. Thanks.

Two options:
Make a disk image or a clone of the installer CD on your Mac that has a super drive - you can create a disk image using Disk Utility or use Carbon Copy Cloner (if you have it) to clone the DVD to a thumbsdrive. Then run the installer on your MBY from this copy.
Or download the Trial Installer and install from there:
Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial. http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.

Can't load fcp studio on new macbook pro/os 10.6.2

I just got a brand new macbook pro and wanted to load my fcp studio 1 but it is saying I don't have the proper hardware. It want tell me exactly what hardware. I just bought this computer, so I can not understand the prob. Is it the operating system---OS 10.6.2?
I bought upgrade disks for fcp studio 2--what happens now? Has Apple made it so an older version of FCP isn't compatible with newer macBooks?

FCP versions 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5 and 5 will only run on a PPC processor Mac.
FCP versions 5.1 and 6 will run on both PPC and Intel Macs.
FCP version 7 will only run on IntelMacs.

Can´t access Facebook on my new MacBook Pro

Hello. Yesterday I got a new MacBook Pro. First, I updated it to OS X 10.7.5 and everything works just fine, except that I can´t load Facebook, safari shows a message saying it can´t connect to server. I tried installing other browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox but the same thing happens. The problem also happens with Twitter, every other website loads correctly.
I searched for Facebook in Google, and clicked on the first result which was Facebook in Spanish. https://es-es.facebook.com/ The log in page showed correctly. Then I tried typing my user name and password and clicking enter to log in and it stops working. The same message apears (safari can´t connect to server) with this url adress https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1.
Maybe this has to do with the fact that my MacBook is configurated in Spanish since I live in Latin America. I changed my language to English and the same thing happened but with Facebook from UK with the adress https://en-gb.facebook.com/ I still couldn´t log in.
I think it could be a DNS issue, but I don´t know how to fix it.
I would appreciate any type of help since I´m really excited with this new MacBook and I would really like to solve this problem. Thank you!!

You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.

My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT!, My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT!

My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT (Epson EB510)! Instead, colored bars go across the screen against a black background. No matter how much I try to adjust the displays, PPT won't show on it. However, my friend's Macbook Air works fine. She's 10.7.2, I'm 10.7.4, so we're both more or less OS X Lion. What could be wrong? Can I do anything to fix it?

Make sure that your display is not mirrored. Mirroring forces you into "lowest common denominator" screen resolutions that can safely be displayed on BOTH screens, which may not be good enough for the projector.
When you turn off Mirroring, you get Extended Desktop, where the two screens are joined along an edge to form a larger Extended Desktop. To use this, drag a window onto the "other" screen.
