Do not see "Post New Topic" in MacBook Pro forum

In the MacBook Pro forum I do not see "Post New Topic" at the top of the page as I do on others.
I am logged in and can see my questions and profile.
MacBook Pro 15" / OS X / Windows XP (BootCamp) Mac OS X (10.4.7) MacBook Pro 15" 1.8 GHz / 80 Gb / 512 Ram

Daniel,
Please see this post a little ways down this page.
Several people have already answered this for you.
(I know, it can be confusing sometimes.)

Hope that will help you figure it out.

Trouble posting new topic

I am having trouble posting new topic in the UIX forum. I am getting error "You do not have permission to post in this forum". I am a registered user.
I found an FAQ for the same but it didnt solve my problem, as the link given in the FAQ (http://www.oracle.com/technology/membership/index.html) redirects me to my profile page.
I am already a member with Oracle AppsNet, Oracle Learning Network, OTN and Oracle.com
Thanks in advance

Hi anitajean!
You are probably looking on a Category page, and not a Forum page.
If you have a question, or suggestion, about using Discussions, from this page Feedback about Discussions, click on Post New Topic.
This is the Forum where you just posted your issue.
If you have a Technical question about Apple Hardware, Programs, Services, Technology, Software, Applications, Products, etc, from this page Discussions - Forum Home, select an appropriate Category from one of the sixteen divisions.
For example, under Mac OS X Related Software, choose the Category Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.
On the page that opens, select a Forum, such as Installation & Setup, orUsing Mac OS X Leopard.
Most Category pages, have numerous Forums within them.
But some may have only one, two, or three.
For example the Safari Category page has four choices listed under Forum / Category, but only two of them, are Forums:
Safari For Windows
Safari for Mac Support forum.
And the Apple Remote Desktop Category, has only one Apple Remote Desktop Forum.
On Forum pages, there is an option to Post New Topic.
Click here for all iPod Forums.
Click here for all iTunes Forums.

It can be confusing, but explore the different areas, and you will acquire a better understanding of the hierarchy.

Please help me find "post new topic" link

I want to post an issue in the shuffle 1st generation forum but cannot find the "post new topic" link on the page.
I'm feelin' kinda stupid, and frustrated too!
obviously, I found the "post new topic" link for this forum, so I don't think it's a browser issue (firefox 1.5.0.10, windoze XP). also, I have signed in with my apple ID.
here's the link to the forum to which I want to post:

Posting new topics

Other than here I've NEVER been able to figure out how to
post a new topic. How to I post a new topic in the quicktime forum? The little icon I clicked here to make this post doesn't exist over there.

The little icon I clicked here to make this post doesn't exist over there.
If you're logged in and you're not seeing the "Post a New Topic" link, then you're probably looking at a category page, rather than an actual forum page where you can post. A category page lists the forums within that category. Click on the relevant forum in that list and you'll be able to post there.
For example the iPod category page lists a large number of more specific iPod forums in which you can post, starting with "Using your Fifth Generation iPod" and "Connecting the Fifth Generation iPod to Windows" and on down the list from there.
If you're still not sure which kind of page you're on, look at the URL in your address bar. A category page will end with "categoryID=nnn" while a forum page will end with "forumID=nnn."

What to do when there is no "Post new topic" displayed?

I have encountered the most odd thing. I am trying to get into the Aperture discussion group which I have done many times before but for some reason now, there is no "Post new topic" when I log on. Every other discussion group I try has this message. Other people are still posting on Aperture.
So I obviously can't post my question there because I can't get in!
Any ideas as to what is wrong?
Thanks, John

John,
I hate to ask/suggest but are you visiting the particular Aperture forum you wish to post in or just the main Aperture page.
You must select a sub forum there to see a Post a New Topic link.
Sorry if that is not the problem but I have seen others make this mistake in other forums and just wanted to suggest in case that is the error.
best,
littleshoulders [:-)
edit: The two sub forums for Aperture are: Aperture Installation, Setup and General Usage and Aperture Book Printing and Design

I just bought a new Retina Display macbook pro, and I plugged in my iPod touch (4th gen) into the new computer, but it will not show up, even after I typed in the passcode. How do I get my iTouch to sync with my new computer without restoring my itouch?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

My iMac does not see the new Toshiba external drive in Finder or Disk Utility. How can I get it to see the drive?

My iMac does not see the new Toshiba external drive in Finder or Disk Utility. How can I get it to see the drive?

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive is malfunctioning.

New user of Macbook Pro...

I am new user of Macbook Pro... It was inherited by a cousin who is now away in another country. I am having a tough time here...
1. How to determine the model & OS?
2. No sound - when i click 'system preferences' and go to sound, it shows 'selected device has no output control'
3. How can i maximize the screen?
4. Is there any commands for 'cut & paste'?
5. I don't see any CD drive....how does this work?
6. Any commands to drag, without a mouse?
7. Is there any website where i can get a free tutorial?
Can some1 help me?
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
1. How to determine the model & OS?
Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info and look at the System info.
It will tell you the model ID#, and serial number.
The serial number has only three important characters, labelled A,B,C below:
xxABCxxxx
These are the last digit of the year, and the week of the year it was built.
Model ID# guide is here:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/by_capability/mac-specs-by-machine-model-machine -id.html
2. No sound - when i click 'system preferences' and go to sound, it shows 'selected device has no output control'
Sometimes this can be fixed one of three methods:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
If none of the above works, you may have a hardware malfunction in your sound port. Note, if you have something connected to your audio port, it only play out through one output at a time. It does support stereo and 5.1 audio with the appropriate cables.
3. How can i maximize the screen?
This can mean two things:
- You want to maximize the real estate where all the windows belong. This is done by increasing the resolution on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
- If you mean just enlarge windows, use the green button in the upper left to resize the window so it fits on the screen. Then the bottom right hand corner is used to resize the widnow in question.
4. Is there any commands for 'cut & paste'?
Edit menu has those commands. To the right of any command where a cloverleaf icon is represented, the Command key or Apple logo key is used in conjunction with the said key to issue the command.
5. I don't see any CD drive....how does this work?
The CD drive is normally below the wristpad on the right side. It is slot loading like that found in some automobile CD players. It supports DVD and CD burning and playback, be careful about the media used:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446?viewlocale=en_US
6. Any commands to drag, without a mouse?
Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Trackpad let you control how you tap two fingers on the trackpad simultaneously to drag.
7. Is there any website where i can get a free tutorial?
Select the Happy face on the translucent toolbar. You now will have a menu called Finder at the top of the screen. Use the Help menu to search topics.
Or post to the relevant OS page, and someone will gladly help you on this board.

Help! My Canon MG5520 printer is apparently not connected to my late 2013 MacBook Pro!

Help! My Canon MG5520 printer is apparently not connected to my late 2013 MacBook Pro! I have had this printer a few months and everything has been working fine until today. I did I have to turn my wifi router on and off this morning, so I think that might be it. I'm not extremely tech savy, so if anyone could lend a hand, I would appreciate it!! I've tried unplugging it, turning it on and off again, quitting it my from laptop, nothing works. Do I need to reconnect it to the wifi? How do I do this? I turns on fine and doesn't give my any error messages, it'st just my laptop that says it isn't connected. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thanks for providing complete information. It seems like you've ruled out faulty docking cable, bad USB port, and software issue on the new Mac. And since the shuffle still works fine on the older Mac, it's not a problem on the shuffle.
Some things to try...
Connect the MacBook to its power adapter, so that it's not running the battery power. If any other USB devices are connected, try connecting the shuffle as the only device, to a direct USB port on the MacBook.
If you can keep it connected for long enough, go to the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes and set it to Enable disk use (and Apply). This will keep the shuffle's disk mounted continuously, instead of iTunes unmounting the shuffle's disk when not syncing.
If you happen to have an old USB 2.0 hub that has its own power supply, connect the shuffle through the hub to see if that make any difference. The new Macs have USB 3.0, so if that's the cause, maybe a USB 2.0 hub in between can act as a "buffer" and make it work.

HT3053 How long should I charged new battery in MacBook pro?

How long should I charged new battery in MacBook pro?

You can leave it plugged in all the time if you wish.
Once your Macbook is fully charged, it stops charging.
You can see this if you click on your apple logo, about this mac, more info, system report, power.
In any event, it is also a good idea to use your Macbook under it's own power to keep the battery in optimal condition.
As much as possible, try not to fully discharge your battery. It could do more harm than good to your Macbook.
Good luck and enjoy your macbook

ICloud mail does not reconnect in Mail application on MacBook Pro after disconnecting and reconnecting iPhone or after sleep

iCloud mail does not reconnect in Mail on my MacBook Pro after sleep or after disconnecting and reconnecting my iPhone. This only happens when I use my iPhone as a 3G-modem and not when I am on Wi-Fi. The only solution seems to be to quit the Mail-application and restart it again. Then Mail reconnects to iCloud.

Hi horstp,
Given your description of the issue (works on other Macs), it may be worth trying to set up that account by itself in a new test user on the iMac to see if it can be isolated to a user-specific file. You may find the following article helpful:

Macbook pro does include iphoto. I had no problem uploading ALL photos (3 or 4,000.) Help! Goal is to keep albums together.

Hi all,
Goal: Backing up photos!
Hope: Transfer ALBUMS from ipad to external drive (via macbook pro)
Is this possible? Or will I have to create a file name for each of my thousands of photos?
UGH!
HELP!
