During initial setup of mac pro, used pc to mac transfer, after transfer mac requires new password to enter account but will not accpt password
During the initial setup of mac book pro, I did the pc to mac transfer. After transfer was complete, mac had two user accounts aspen pc machine? and dell. Upon trying to access either, the mac says I have to enter new password to enter. It will not accept new password. What do I do?
Well....I bit the bullet and called Apple tech support this morning and agreed to pay my $49 for the tech support. I ended up talking to a Boot Camp specialist. In the end his position was that "they didn't support Windows" and my particular problem was a "Windows problem". I countered with the fact that they advertise that one of their selling points was that Windows could run on an Intel Mac and that I ought to at least be able to install Windows. They said that most people were able to install Windows with no problems. I agreed, but told them that, after searching the Internet, I had read numerous posts from folks that had the same problem and that Apple really should address it. They were very polite and even agreed not to charge me the $49, but their final position was that it was a "Windows problem."
I guess that at this point I'll try to return the Windows disk to Amazon and see if they'll give me a replacement.

When I updated my MAC I lost all my movies from iTunes. They are still on my hard drive but will not reappear after I reset my preference in advance section. How do I fix it?
If they are still on your Mac's drive then you should be able to add them back into iTunes via File > Add To Library

Cannot setup e-mail on ipad2 accepts account but will not send mail ?
cannot setup e-mail on ipad2 accepts account but will place messages in out box and not send ?
It could be that your ISP wants you to use a specific outgoing mail server. Check with your ISP. Sometimes they will only allow you to use their outgoing mail server when you're on their network and not your own. For example, if you use Optimum Online they may only let you use mail.optonline.com for outgoing so you couldn't use mail.yourdomain.com.
They do this to cut down on people sending spam from their networks. -
On yahoo email, it accepted my login id, but not password. This started on one account about two weeks ago. Today when I tried to login to another yahoo email, which worked yesterday, but it would not accept my password on this account.
I bought some items on ebay and wanted to leave feedback. When I clicked on the leave feedback button a sign in window appeared, this should not have happened, when I tried to sign in, it would not accept my password. I called ebay and was told they have had many complaints from customers using firefox when trying to leave feedback. The help desk suggested I try with Internet Explorer, I did, and it worked perfectly.
I have been using firefox for a long time and really do not want to go back to IE, but when I cannot sign into my accounts, I can't, so I will have to use IE.

Setup Mac Pro using my Macbook Pro Retina Display
I received a new Mac Pro 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon and I would like to set it up using my Macbook Pro (07/12) Retina setup. What is the best way to do this? The Macbook Pro only has Thunderbolt and USB ports. The Mac Pro has Firewire, USB, and ethernet ports.
Both Macs can be connected to the Internet as well?
If you can use Ethernet cables, the migration will go fairly quickly. over WiFi, plan on it taking many hours.
Do you have Time Machine Backups? look at this article whether you do or not:

I have a Mac Pro using OSX 10.7.4. When using apple mail I click on the address icon to obtain email address and nothing happens. I've restarted both the application and the Mac but still won't open address book. Any ideas please.
Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account. -
Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet and it could not detect the the ip address after i input the correct address on "Connect to Server" window. Please help! Urgent! Thanks
I did not say it is not possible.
I said if your company networks are monopolizing both ports, you should talk to them about what options are available.
Maybe you can get the company Intranet over wireless if you change some configuration items such as Subnet Mask.
Maybe you can get on the Internet over Ethernet.
You really need to ask them, and do not let them blow you off because you have a Mac. If they balk, ask them how it would be done on a PC (becasue it will be the same on a Mac). -
I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with SSD for system drive. Drive stopped booting, but otherwise appeared healthy. Restored from system backup. Now drive seems to work properly, BUT my logon password no longer works. Password OK for account; can access system preferences, and change user password there BUT logon still refuses to accept password. No luck changing password for that account after adding new administrator account and logging on from that account. Suggestions? Thanks.
If you redirect Accounts to another location (not on the Boot Drive) you need to direct them back there again after a restore.
SystemPreferences > Accounts/User&Groups > ...
... Unlock the lock, then hold down Control as you click on an Account to get access to the Advanced Options pane. -
Anyone unable to print from Mac Pro using lion 10.7.2 to HP LaserJet M1319f mfp

I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this mac
Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

Mac Pro using Mac Mini as Print Server
Hi all,
Mac Pro is wired to my network, Mac Mini is Airport connected.
I'd like to use Mac Mini as a Print Server without keyboard and mouse. I've installed OSXvnc-server on Mac Mini and Chicken of the VNC (CVNC) Client on Mac Pro.
Mac Pro's keyboard is azerty as was Mac Mini, it's impossible to loggin with Chicken of the VNC, password is not accepted, I connect an azerty keyboard to Mac Mini and I can loggin.
Typing on Mac Pro in Mac Mini TextEdit through CVNC give weird keyboard layout, not only azerty qwerty different layout.
In between my two Mac Mini there wasn't any problem using CVNC and the same server but Azerty Qwerty layout.
Is there any other solution to use Mac Mini as a print server ? What about using Desktop remote connection ?
Thanks,
Peloche,
MacPro 2.66, 6GB, 1TB; Mini G4, 1.45, 1GB; iPod 60 GB; 30" & 20" ACD; Apple IIC Mac OS X (10.4.7)Ah… right! That explains it.
So what model printers are they?
Ned,
Printers are HP Color LaserJet 2550L, HP Photosmart 8250 and Epson EPL-5900L.
I've changed the VNC Client from "Chicken of the VNC" to "VNCThing".
Now I can log in from Mac Pro using its Azerty Keyboard as Qwerty Keyboard.
Once logged in I've set Mac Mini Keyboard to "Extended (or Expanded ?) American" keyboard within System Preferences, with this option Mac Mini see the Mac Pro Keyboard as an Azerty layout...
I've connected two printers through USB2 Hub connected to Mac Mini and the third one direct onto Mac Mini USB port.
Back to Mac Pro "System Preferences Fax & Printers", "+", immediatly the 3 printers have been proposed, I've selected them and tested all: it works perfectly.
Mac Mini is set to "restart after power cut" and is connected for power onto a remoted control power distribution sockets, that means Mac Mini is starting and stopped when printers are powered on and off.
The sole small issue is that I can't find how to display Mac Mini GUI on Mac Pro at a better resolution than 1024 x 768.
Thanks for your time,
Peloche,

During initial setup, I deleted the additional colored options in the Calender application. How do I get those colored options back? Thank you!!
Sounds like you have the print dialog minimised, as shown.
If you click the triangle next to the printer name, this will expand the print dialog and from this view you can see all the menu options as mentioned in the guide. -
Mac Pro - Using 3 drives for a triple-boot system
Hello
I am purchasing an 8-core Mac Pro today, and I want to start the ball rolling early on this endeavor, as it will probably take some discussion and research on my part.
I want to take my Mac Pro and install 2 more hard drives (for a total of 3) so that I can have a triple-boot system using OS X, Windows XP Pro, and Ubuntu Linux.
All of the tutorials I am coming across discuss installing on partitions. I'd like to install onto separate hard drives. What do I have to know in order to make this work?
- Should I use a 64-bit XP OS? Why or why not? (I'll have 4 GB of RAM)
- Any major issues with drivers in XP or Linux?
- Can I make a fourth hard drive mountable across all 3 other OS installations?
- Can I mount the other OS drives in my booted os? (For instance, if I boot into Linux, can I mount the XP drive and the OS X drive, or mount the Linux Drive and XP drive in OS X?)
Thanks for your input.
----------SI'd like to install onto separate hard drives. What do I have to know in order to make this work?
The Boot Camp Assistant will allow you to prepare an entire drive for Windows so that's simple enough. If you want to do this yourself all you need to do is to change the partition map scheme for the desired drive to Master Boot Record and then let the Windows installer do the rest. Be aware that manually doing this will mean that Parallels will not find this drive as a Boot Camp drive if that's important to you.
Sorry, don't know anything about Linux.
Should I use a 64-bit XP OS? Why or why not? (I'll have 4 GB of RAM)
You can. Although there is currently no Apple driver support for x64 versions so you'll be on your won to source drivers. Personally I'd stick to the 32-bit version for now until Apple pulls its finger out and get 64-bit driver support.
Can I make a fourth hard drive mountable across all 3 other OS installations?
The simplest solution would be the use of FAT32 however Microsoft limits this to 32GB which is a right pain. You could always install a product like MacDrive into Windows to allow you access to your Mac partitions.
Can I mount the other OS drives in my booted os?
It depends on what you're looking for. NTFS partitions are mountable under Mac OS X but are read-only. Mac partitions are avaialable under Windows but requires a product like MacDrive. -
Need to erase hard drive and reinstall system on iMac but have misplaced original install disks. Tried to use a my copy of Snow lepord 10.6 from my Mac Pro but will not boot. Can original install disks be replaced. Thanks
Yes the original Install Discs can be replaced for a nominal fee. Call AppleCare, you will need a credit card and the serial number of the machine. You can use the AppleCare Contact Info for the phone number on your part of the planet.
