Do I need to apply AC power to my new macbook before I power it up?

Do I need to apply AC power to my new macbook before I power it up? I just bought it last Saturday (02/09/2013) ... and I'm just now getting to use it. I've not turned it on and there are no instructions on the subject of "applying AC power" or the opposite before powering the unit up for the first time.
Thanks.
Robto

You should connect the AC charger so the battery can be charged all the way. But you can still power it up without it.

Do I need to "condition" the battery in a new MacBook?

Please forgive my ignorance, but do I need to "condition" the battery in a brand new MacBook that I just bought? i.e. Do I need to charge it fully, unplug it, and let it run down completely before charging it again? Or is that only for the older batteries?

Thanks, Jay. About an hour ago I opened it, turned it on, and started downloading and installing system updates. It's been plugged in this entire time. Should I have just turned it on and plugged it in to charge without using it? The article isn't entirely clear on that. Or can I keep setting it up and using it as long as it's plugged in until the light on the power cord turns green (before unplugging it and allowing the battery to run down)?

I need to download a DVD and some CDs to my new MacBook Pro but alas, no CD/DVD drive. What now?

Use an external optical drive such as Apple's USB SuperDrive, or one inside another computer.

Need to reinstall OS X on fairly new Macbook Pro

Hi there. I have a Macbook Pro I need to reinstall the original OS X version. I think it was Lion but I now have Mt Lion installed and when I go to the Recovery HD it only allows me to reinstall Mt Lion. How do I get Lion?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Use Internet Recovery to install OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 Internet Recovery will install the OS X version which came preinstalled with your MacBook Pro.
To start in Internet Recovery, hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your computer is starting. Before installing Lion, you have to erase the hard drive, so open Disk Utility, choose the hard drive at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the hard drive. Then, close Disk Utility and reinstall Lion

Do i need to install snow leopard on my new macbook pro?

i picked up a new macbook pro and it came with snow leopard. i don't know what the snow leopard will enhance and if i should even install the program.

Your MacBookPro comes with Snow Leopard pre installed. It's not a program, it's an operating system. Mac OS X - Snow Leopard.

I need to install cc on my new MacBook and remove it from my old MacBook. What is the best way of doing this?

Well, as above really. Should I just install again? Or do I export from my old MacBook?

Don't try exporting it. Adobe software needs to be installed.
On the new MacBook, sign in to creative.adobe.com with your Adobe ID, download the Cloud app then install your apps.
You can leave it installed and activated on the old MacBook since you're entitled to 2 simultaneous activations.
Or you can deactivate on the old MacBook. Launch any Cloud app and click Help > Sign Out. That will deactivate the entire suite.

I have itunes folder on Sony Vaio that is seriously unwell. I can start up in safe mode but that's all. It has home sharing enabled.I need to transfer the library onto this new computer before it completely gives up the ghost.I have i cloud but want the main folder transferred to this computer. I have part of my i tunes folder on 2 back up drives.
Can anyone help please

If the computer only starts in safte mode, it is highly unlikely that network functionality works.
Copy or move the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and any other personal data you want) to an external drive.

Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

HT5219 I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display. Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ? I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged.

I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display (27'').
Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ?
I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged. Is this normal ?

I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
Good luck,
Clinton

John, please refrain from posting your personal email in these threads. It is not necesary and all communication to you can be done directly in these forums. Posting your email address can open up you to tons of unwanted spam, among other things. Really all you can do is search the internet for them. My suggestion would be to google "case for late 2007 macbook pro".
One will probably be very hard to find for a 6 year old model as it is on the borderline of being considered "vintage". Ebay may be a good place to try too.

Ipod touch has stopped working. the screen showes that it need to connect to power.

Hey there our3goldens,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Need to apply payment for delivered items only, not full down payment

Version: (8.8 PL18)
Description of requirements: (Be able to handle the right amount of down payment when we copy a sales order to an invoice and there is a back order for some items. It actually works fine when we go on an invoice and we copy from a sales order, the system handles correctly the down payment amount when there is a back order. )
Valid as of: (29/07/2011)
Business needs: (They need to apply only the part of the payment for the delivered quantities, not ALL the payment. In addition, the risk of errors to choose the wrong order is higher when you use the u2018copy fromu2019 function)
Examples: (When you create a sales order with a down payment and you copy this document to an invoice and there is a back order, the amount of down payments should be adjusted according to the back order as it works now for the u2018copy fromu2019 function)
Current Workaround:
(We use the u2018Copy fromu2019 function.)
Proposed solution:
(The u2018Copy tou2019 function should work exactly as the u2018Copy fromu2019 function)

It's not just a licensing requirement. Without the RIKLA you cannot make Reader plug-ins at all. Adobe will vet your proposal and decide if they will permit it, and what license fee you will pay.

Need to apply on the order based on customes

Hi All
I need to apply hold on orders which was created by particular customers.. For that I used "oe_holds_pub.apply_holds" API by passing parameter like
v_hold_source_rec oe_holds_pvt.hold_source_rec_type
DEFAULT oe_holds_pvt.g_miss_hold_source_rec;
v_hold_source_rec.hold_id := v_hold_id;
v_hold_source_rec.hold_entity_code := 'C';
v_hold_source_rec.hold_entity_id := customer_id
oe_holds_pub.apply_holds
(p_api_version => 1.0,
p_init_msg_list => fnd_api.g_true,
p_commit => fnd_api.g_false,
p_validation_level => fnd_api.g_valid_level_full,
p_hold_source_rec => v_hold_source_rec,
p_hold_existing_flg => 'Y',
p_hold_future_flg => 'Y',
x_return_status => v_return_status,
x_msg_count => v_msg_count,
x_msg_data => v_msg_data
When I executed the program it show return_status='S' mean "success", But, when i check the Order of particular customer(IN front end) it doesn't change to 'HOLD', I need information on this API? what are the parameters we need to pass?
Difference b/w hold_entity_code='C' and hold_entity_code='O'(is their any particular meaning for 'O' and 'C')?
hold_entity_id: Refers for?
Can any one send the link..........

Do I need to apply for copyright when I publish a book to the iBook store through iBooks Author?

I am about to publish a book to the iBook store through iBooks Author. Would I need to apply for some sort of copyright? I have no experience so please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you

Copyright is an important legal issue and certainly complex. But in general, a good place to start is registering your book with the Library of Congress. You can do it by mail, and they will grant you a Library of Congress control number which you can place on your copyright page. This will register your book as your copyright and is well worth checking out.
Though, and I'm not sure, but you may have to have an ISBN so some cost is involved.
Hope this helps.
