Desperately need full copy of OS X for MBP13 which won't boot...Repl HDD with SSD, won't clone due to defective source. Can I downloaded OS x onto a PC, burn a disc and get it onto the MBP?!?

The 320 HDD started clicking and making noises which can't be good. Bought a new SSD and attempted cloning, I get the Inout/Output error. So what everyone is telling me is to get a new copy of OS X and then reinstall the applications. This has turned into a nightmare and PC's are looking better again. It will not update OSX from the web, times out. I have been on Apple Support all weekend and have no more time to give, keep going in circles...is OS X available to be downloaded without purchasing because I alre\dy own it !!!!!!!!!. Thanks for listening and any help! Much appreciated!

Slightly off topic, but for anyone who's read this post and is not maintaining a bootable backup as they read this:
1. Purchase an external drive that is the same capacity of your internal boot drive.
2. Run a utility that creates a bootable backup on a weekly basis (or a dialy basis) like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper.
If you keep and use your computer long enough, the day will come that the internal boot drive will start "clicking and making noises which can't be good".
When this day finally comes, go to the System Preferences, open Starup Disk, choose your bootable backup and restart.
If your internal drive is named "Macintosh HD", name the bootable backup something simple like "Macintosh HD Backup".
You can still run Time Machine and you can still use the Mac OS X Recovery options; however, you minimize downtime significantly with a current, bootable backup on hand.

Question -- try to burn a disc and get "Indexing" pop up and nothing happens

I created a video and burned a disc -- no problem. Now I edited the film by adding some still pictures and music. Now I try to burn a disc and I get the pop up window that says Indexing. Nothing happens even if I let it go for an hour. How can I burn a disc? I made sure the quality level matched the disc size so it would fit.

HT204370 I purchased twp movies, which I can see in my account history have been deducted. They are not in my library! I can't figure out how to access them! Totally frustrated and getting angrier by the minute since the period of time I had to watch h

I purchased two movies which I can see have been deducted from my account. However, they are not in my library after waiting a long time for them to download. I can't access the movies I have already paid for! They are also not in my cloud. I am completely frustrated. At this point I just want a refund and will never try to watch a movie on here again!

If you bought them on your iPad then they should have downloaded into the iPad's Videos app - is that where you are looking for them ?
If they aren't there then have you tried searching for them via the iPad's spotlight search screen ? Pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7, swipe your first home screen to the right in iOS 6 and below.
If that doesn't find them either, and they don't show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for redownloading (films won't show there in all countries), then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My daughter and granddaughter have the same model iPhone. I can go messages and text my granddaughters phone from my ipad2, but when I try to text my daughter I get the message that she is not registered with I message, but she is registered and gets texts all the time. What do we need to do?

What blue bubble are you trying to turn on? If you mean that the Send button will not work, go to Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field>Off. Make sure that is set to off.
If you send an iMessage, the texts between the devices appear in a blue bubble.
iMessages only work between iOS devices and they are different than the standard text messages that any cell phone can send to another cell phone.

Then try to use a different brand of DVD or at least a different batch of DVD. The disk may be defective.

Thank you, reducing the image size worked! I had used a low res file before, and with success decided to increase the resolution/size, and then it didn't work. the image did appear in small preview in the export panel, but wouldn't burn when all was said and done. the dimensions you gave worked fine. unfortunately, it makes the image a little bit fuzzy, but i dont think i can do anything about this. at least it burned it in there. thanks!

You might be using an invalid email address that you are sending to or your mail settings for the account are wrong. Check the address and I would delete the email account and reenter it

HT1420 Can I download a movie onto my authorised computer and then copy if onto USB stick to put in the TV?

Can I download a movie onto my authorised computer and then copy if onto a USB to plug into our TV?

If you mean a movie purchased from the iTunes Store then the answer is no. Movies purchased from the iTunes Store are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) in this case using Apple's 'FairPlay' scheme and this prevents you simply copying and playing the file.
You can however purchase a movie from the iTunes Store and either play it via iTunes on a Mac or PC which could be connected to your TV, or you can use an Apple TV device which is specifically made for this purpose.
See http://www.apple.com/appletv/
If on the otherhand you mean just a movie you have downloaded from a website which is nothing to do with Apple's iTunes Store then it very much depends on the format of the movie. Some 'Smart' TVs can play some movie file formats from USB memory sticks. You will need to check the specs of your TV to see what formats it supports.

Hello:
I would trot back into the Apple store and have them fix the problem (or call Applecare with a warranty issue). There is no sense in you wasting your time trying to troubleshoot things on a new computer.

Hi micha164,
I am curious to know how did Flash Player get uninstalled from Chrome? If you can please share steps to reproduce how your Flash Plugin got Removed?
Also, Can you open chrome application Goto Chrome://plugins and See if Adobe Flash Player Plugin is Disabled? If yes, kindly enable Flash Player Plugin by clicking the [blue colored]enable link and restart the browser to see if the changes have reflected.
Because Flash Player cannot be uninstalled from Chrome using any uninstaller, as it is embedded part of the app installer/update and can only be removed if you remove the plugin reference from the location on disk. Possibility is that your plugin got disabled and did not get enabled after that.
Please see if it helps. If the above does not work then the only resolve is to update Chrome app. Please let us know if your query got resolved or not.

Using the warp tool I'm stabilizing my video and getting rid of the edge artifacts. Analyizing is clear on how long the process will take, but when it stabilizes I only get three moving dots. I there a way to know when the process will stop? Thanks.

I am using the warp tool to stabilize my video and get rid of the edge artifacts. The program is very clear about how long it will take to analyze, but there is nothing about how long the stabilization will take nor when I know when it is complete. Thanks ahead of time.

Warp Stabilising is a two part process.
Analysis and Stabilising.
Both have a banner across the Program Monitor during the process ( unless you have turned that off.
Analysis start automatically on forst application...but you can rock in there and start adjusting the parameters.
You may need to hit "Analyse" Button again.
You should see the number of frames and the estimated duration during this process.
