Confused: Bought a MacBook aluminium 2.0 with a MacBook Pro keyboard!
Hello everybody!
Recently purchased MacBook aluminium. First thing I did was checking backlit keyboard. After tapping F5 and F6(signs of backlit are on them! They are not empty like on 2.0 aluminium.) I got crossed sign of backlit. I didn't know nothing about differences between 2.0 and 2.4 MacBooks, so I wasn't confused about these signs. After updating to Mountain Lion buttons are empty(after tapping - nothing happens). Appearence of Mac is perfect, so I don't have any doubts about keyboard replacement. So, I have a question: Maby Pro keyboard can be enabled for using backlit?(Sow, that keyboard is simmilar to MacBook Pro 2013). I used thirdparty soft for enabling it(LabTick) but nothing happened too. What a mistery, people?
Maybe its a secret concept of first Aluminium MacBook? Ha?

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?
On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps. -
I bought a Macbook pro with Mountain Lion. Can I install Mountain Lion on my other mac for free? How do I do that? Thanks!
On the bright side, it's only $20.
And I would certainly like to have the ownership (and even a copy of the installer on my archive drive), "just in case."
Here are some questions -- which I cannot test because it's not my situation:
Has anyone acquired a pre-owned Mac with Mountain Lion installed but which shipped with an earlier OS version? For those in that circumstance:
Have you been able to apply Mountain Lion update(s)?
How about reinstall ML with Recovery HD?
After either updating or reinstalling, does ML appear in Purchases in App Store?
Just curious. -
I bought a MacBook Pro 13" last week with Snow Leopard pre-installed. Now I am looking to upgrade to Lion. Is there a 30 day window to do that for free? I cannot review my App Store id since I do not have a Credit Card. What to do in this case to install Lion. Please help.

Boot Camp does not come on DVD, what did you install. -
i have just bought a macbook pro and i want to use an ext hard drive with it which i previously used on a windows computer, but when i plug it in it doesn't show up on my macbook pro, I've wiped it and just need to format it but don't know how, any help would be much appreciated
Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen. -
I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it with a new one, how can I get another copy of lion OS, as the guy at the serive center installed 10.6 for me.
P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OSIf you have a way to wipe 10.6.8 off, you can then reboot your machine (with no OS) and since your system came preinstalled with Lion, Internet Recovery should occur which will boot to Apple's servers into a Recovery HD for you to redownload and install Lion.
To be safe I would first make a clone of the current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. This way you have a way to recover. -
I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%) If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see? There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light. MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014
I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt. -
I bought my macbook pro on August 2011 at an apple store, with the Intel i7. However mirrorring in not working with two of my Apple TVs. These Apple TVs are 2nd and 3rd generation loaded with the latest software.

So I bought my MacBook Pro 13 inch with AppleCare protection about 2 weeks ago and from the moment it came out of the box I noticed that the battery was draining very quickly. Perhaps in the midst of my excitement of having a new computer I ignored it thinking it could somehow get better but obviously it has not. Average after being fully charged from being dead the batter lasts maybe an hour to an hour and a half. I'm assuming apple will take care of this seeing as it came to me like this but that's exactly my question, will they? Any information about what they cover or how to go about getting this fixed is very much appreciated!
You are covered under the 1-year warranty.
You have a 14 day grace period to exchange it for one that works.
Past that, get it looked at

I bought a macbook pro as an open item in best buy and it doesn't come with garage ban, iMovie, iphoto, numbers, etc. what can I do?
it wouldnt come with numbers, only iphoto, imovie, and garageband. Have you tried this?
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications. -
When I left my former employer, Pollinate Agency, I bought a MacBook Pro with Acrobat Pro (version 9 or possibly 9.5) installed from the company. I recently had a serious computer crash, and needed to get all contents erased. The support provider didn't have my product key, so could not reinstall Acrobat Pro for me. Since then, I have gotten the product key sent to me from my former employer, [ REMOVED ] So I need help in re-downloading, installing and activating the Acrobat Pro software on this computer.
Please remove the S/N immediately (I can't or would). Never post them online. As for download you can go to http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html on the right panel to get 9 pro. I am not sure there is a MAC version there, but that is the first place to go. If it is the proper version, then please back it up to CD and/or portable HD, not the system HD.

When I bought my MacBook Pro from Apple online store, I didn't buy the AppleCare Protection Plan with it. Now I'm in a different country from where I've bought my MacBook Pro. Is it possible for me to buy AppleCare Protection Plan separately to cover my MacBook?
You should be able to do this if your MBP is still under the original warranty, i.e., under a year old, but it may vary depending on the region where you are. See: http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/applecare/appgeos.html

I have bought a Macbook Pro Retina, and the iPhoto which comes with it, has a different iPhoto Book menu. I cannot see how to put text at the bottom of the pages of photographs, instead of the default place in the middle. Is there a way to do this?
There are different templates for iPhoto books and they differ from version of iPhoto to iPhoto, so explore the other options.
