Dropped Laptop and switched to Mac

I dropped my laptop and destroyed the screen. I used an external monitor and tried to start it. It didn't work. Since I use mostly apple devices (e.g. IPhone, IPad etc) and I've been wanting a mac for a long time (just needed a good reason to replace my laptop) I bought an IMac. My question is, since I can't access my old iTunes account to deauthorize it, is there a way to remotely access the account.
Thanks

You can also contact iTunes support and ask them to deauthorize your old machine; they've done that for me (and responded very quickly) (I believe there is now a disclaimer that you must have a warranty in place to get service):

Thanks; however, I was really referring to this: if it is preinstalled on a Mac, I believe the license is for that computer only (unlike an MAS purchased version which can be used on any Mac owned). Has that requirement changed?
At this moment, that's correct. The OS X license included with a Mac can only be used with that Mac. However, in the case the OP has purchased OS X Mountain Lion in the past, this may change

When I work with a drive to boot many computers, I use the newest model computer I will be booting, and set the system up on that, run all the Apple updates. Normally I will have no issue booting any older computer with the same drive. Unless of course those older computers do not support the operating system on that drive.
If you want to test if the drive will boot the mac mini. Put your MacBook Pro into target mode. Connect the two computers together. And on the Mac Mini, go into system preferences and then under start up disk and see if the target disk mode computer's drive shows up there. Seelct that drive and restart. See if it boots ok. A bit easier then taking the drives out and moving things around.

In short, you have a problem we can't solve.
I suggest you contact Apple support and make an appointment to get help. Expect to pay for it.

I upgraded my laptop and switched my mail

I upgraded my laptop and switched my mail to iCloud not knowing I was about to lose access to my mail on my desktop iMac (which will not upgrade to iCloud). Can I use an email client (i.e. Eudora) on the iMac and download mail from iCloud? Otherwise, I have to open Safari, sign in to iCloud, then mail, before obtaining my mail. I would like to click an email on my desktop and the be able to access email.

Ok. . . . SUCCESS!
After stressing out for a couple of hours I got up and walked away! I went back in a couple of hours, opened the instructions (that you first gave) and took my time following each step. Thanks for having a little patience with me. The result worked. . . . thanks a lot.

I have CS5 for Windows, can I upgrade to Creative Cloud and switch to Mac

I originally purchased my Adobe CS software for Windows - I recently have switched to Mac . . . so I am forced to upgrade my CS software. Can I use the upgrade discount of $29.99 a month and switch platforms?

If you have an Education version you will not receive a discount, since Education versions are already discounted

Windows laptop Died - Switched to mac - iTunes

Hi All,
My windows 7 laptop died. The laptop physically will not power on. The data remains intact on the drive itself. I purchased a new mac laptop, and now I want the iTunes library to continue to live on an external drive. What is the best way to get my new mac to recognize that my iTunes library is now on an external drive? Also, since it is a iTunes library from Windows 7, do I need to do anything to get mac to recognize it?
Hope that makes sense!
Thanks for your help.

any body?

Dropped laptop and now it won't load completely after turning it on. Only loads half way and stays there. What can I do to fix it?

My Friend dropped my laptop form about 4 ft. It was working but after I turned it off and tried to turn it back on it wont load completely when it sign in. It loads half way and stays there, I can only use safari through the guest section. What can I do to fix?

Can I use logic Pro 9 on both my laptop and my i Mac?

I have iMac 24 for use at home and just bought a mac book pro laptop. Can I use the same program on both computers? One for remote recording and one in my studio at home? Thanks!

If you are talking about the App Store version of Logic Pro 9...
You can actually install Logic on any number of Macs you own so long as you use the same Apple ID and Password to download them via the App Store. Just look under the Purchased tab to find the download button.

Charging your iPhone,laptop and any other Mac products in Europe

For the iPhone,ipod and mac book ,when travelling to Europe do you need a converter or just a plug adapter

Yup, to the MacBook as well. The power supplies are multi voltage capable (100-240vAC @50-60hZ). Any plug adapter with the correct configuration should work.

Why would iPhone 5 ios6 drop LTE and switch to 3G suddenly? Only started happening after I needed to have my phone reset.

Some messages get sent as texts for sme reason and people are receiving duplicates hours later. Also, I received duplicate messages that came thru as "texts" not iMessage minutes apparat from each other

So this is what happened:
- It turns out because I am traveling internationally and ended up using 24MB of data (push email notice etc) that "exceed" the AT&T data usage so they've turned off my data in on the 3rd day of my trip. Mind you, I was already being VERY careful about international data usage and turned that off after I arrived.
- In today's standard 24MB of data is really nothing: but during the AT&T tech rep. trying to trouble shoot, she discovered that alone is a $500 international DATA roming bill (!!!!)
- But they were decent enough to back date me to the $30/mo interntaional data plan (with 120MB limit).
- So instead of having to pay $500 for the 24MB of data usage and have the data cut (now I am back in the States), I only need to pay the $30 international data plan and have AT&T turn back on my 4G / 3G data.
- What's weird, is that LTE wasn't blocked when I am back in the US. Only 4G/3G was down which causes the confusion.

hi guys,

Watch the Apple Online Store’s refurb section for non-Retina 2012 models. The 2.9 GHz model is a very nice machine and there were some available within the past week. Check daily, because they go fast. I bought one last summer and I love it, but I am not playing games on it. B&H Photo still has some 2012 models, also.

I don't like the 'non-retina' MacBooks, why downgrade when for £100-£200 more you can get a retina Mac which looks and feels 100x better.
It's hardly a downgrade to those of us who care about being able to upgrade our Macs ourselves if and when we need or want to do so. For me, having a FW800 port is also a consideration.

Just Switched To Mac's and Need Help With A Few Issues!

Hi All,
I finally did it and switched to a Mac!! Never thought it would happen as I always felt guilty about the cost but after 5 laptops crashing on me - well, I just could not take it anymore! I managed to get a fairly good deal on a 15" Macbook Pro - 2.2/120GB version. I still don't know much about the mac way but am trying to learn so any help would be appreciated!
1). Is there any kind of video tutorial (preferably free!) that I can use that will help me learn the Ma OS X? I have Tiger 10.4.11 on my MBP (Did you hear that - MY MBP!!!)
2). AOL Assured me that they fully support Mac before I purchased (only 5 times!) but after I had bought it - they then told me that they do not! I got the AOL disk for Mac but it kind of ***** - features are missing etc. Does anyone in the UK run their Mac's with AOL and does it run as per normal? Any advice with AOL & Mac?
3). AOL also told me - hey, no probs - of course you can transfer all your old emails, favourites folders, personal filing cabinet from a PC to a Mac - but then, after I bought it - the so called dedicated Mac Experts at AOL tell me that simply is not possible - What advice can anyone give me who has switched from PC to Mac with AOL and who needed to transfer all their stuff over? AOL tells you totally different things depending on who you talk to and even from what their web page state! I am really fed up with them!
4). If I am ever successful in getting all my many years worth of data from AOL on a PC to a Mac, I am really intent of changing ISP's - what are the best ones for Mac that offer good Mac support, good deals and no charges for telephone support?
5). I was initially happy with Tiger as again, AOL assured me they supported it but not Leopard (even their website says so) and as I stupidly thought that it must be true (we are talking AOL here!). Now I know that they don't support anything Mac, I am contemplating moving to Leopard - I am a little cautious as I heard there were/are many bugs and unhappy leopard experiences - have the majority of these been solved yet and is it advisable to change to Leopard or should I wait until an updated version comes out?
6). My MBP was originally bought in the US but is registered to my name in the UK. it has 6 months Apple warranty left and I wish to buy Applecare. Apple says it 'recommends' buying Applecare in the country at which the item is registered (not bought, as I understand it). Does that mean, if I buy Applecare in the USA, Apple UK will still accept it and service my MBP as they would do any other or will I have to have the hassle of sending the thing to the USA if it needs attention? Applecare USA T&C's state only for the 50 States & Canada and Applecare UK state only for the UK & EU. Both however state international servicing?! I am a bit confused on this one. I travel a lot and need to know, that any Applecare I buy will not then be limited to just the places they state in the T&C's. As It reads to me, Applecare purchased in the USA/Canada will not cover the UK/Europe/ROTW and vice versa. Is this true or am I missing something or just plain thick?
5). I really wish to upgrade the 120GB HDD. My understanding is that it must be done by either Apple (who charge really silly money) or if correct, at an "Authorized Apple Service Provider" who of course will be much cheaper. If true, does this mean at ANY authorized apple service provider on the planet or just ones in which the item is registered? If I do the upgrade with a service provider, will Apple then also service the new HDD if something goes wrong as per normal anywhere in the world or will they then say, sorry, will not service the new HDD and you have to go back to the place where you had it installed, even though it was one of their authorized service centers? (that would really suck)!
6). The spelling and dictionary (and a few other things) are set to US English - how can I set to UK English? I have tried but to no avail so far.
7) What and how should I set the Firewall settings so I will not get attacks by any form of malware? (I do not know much about this area and what the implications mean)!
Well, that's it so far - please bear my ignorance, I am so new to Mac's and hope this to be one of the smarter decisions I have made in life! Already I have strange sensation that I never had with all those years of Microsoft & PC's - I kinda feel reassured, safe, that if I have problems, they will get sorted, My life will now be easier and not having to worry so much about crashes, viruses, trojans etc, gives me a sense of liberation and contentment almost - very strange feeling but a **** good one! (if only the women in my life were like that)!
Thank You All From A PC to Mac Switcher (and NO! I do not feel guilty or scared anymore)!
SuaveBhav!

I can help you with your questions about AppleCare, and can also reassure you that both the macbook pro and Leopard will be worth your investment and the time you are putting into figuring out how to get your data across. I switched from windows when I bought my macbook a year and a half ago and would not use any other system now. The other day I completed the transition by erasing parallels and Windows from my system entirely.
As for AppleCare, you can get warranty care anywhere in the world, no matter where you buy your AppleCare. Mine was bought and is registered in the US, I live in Slovakia, and have had it serviced several times in Austria and Slovakia under the warranty without any problems at all. There are differences, however, in exactly what the warranty covers from place to place, in accordance with the law in each place that AppleCare is issued. Even though I live in the EU, my agreement with Apple is an American one, and the American guarantees hold. If EU law would demand that Apple fix more things, for instance, than American law does, I could not get those things repaired under my agreement, and vice versa.
Basically, though, I understand my agreement with AppleCare to be that they will fix all problems/damage that are not my fault free of charge for two years after my initial one-year warranty runs out, and that is good enough for me.

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support. It's not a good idea to post your email address on any public forum (unless you like spam emails).
There is also no need to shout, apart from anything else it makes posts difficult to read, and may also mean that people don't reply to your posts.
iOS devices (iPads, iPhones, iPod Touches) don't need authorising/deauthorising, that only applies to your iTunes account on computers. If you have already 'deauthorised all' in the past 12 months then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can 'deauthorise all' again so that you can then reauthorise the computers (up to 5) that you still have and need : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
