Existing software whic is on Actual mac book Pro transfereable on new one ?
What about my existing software which is on my actual mac book pro like FINAL CUT PRO and others, and I want to buy a new mac book pro. Do I have to buy that software again ?? fernand
I would suggest, if you don't already have one, buying an external hard drive and using Time Machine to make a back-up. Then when you get your new MacBook Pro as you're setting it up you can just do a TM restore and all of your applications and data will be on your new machine.
Good luck,
Clinton

I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and did a migration of the content of the old laptop (also a Mac Book Pro) to the new one. Now I cannot start Photoshop CS6. When I am starting it I have a window "Adobe photoshop CS6 extended" opening requesting a connexion. When I am entering my password for the connexion the software crashes. How can I fix the problem?
Migrating, transferring or copying is DEMANDING trouble, not just asking for it.
Always install from scratch, from the original media, -
I want to transfer data from my old Mac book pro to my new one using migrate. The old computer doesn't have Thunderbolt 2 and the new one doesn't have Firewire 800. Does the Thunderbolt to Firewire or the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter work to connect them and transfer data?
Thank you!Yes, use a Firewire cable and the FW to Tbolt adaptor.

A friend gave me a 17" MacBook Pro used for only one project. (Lucky me) I want to reset/register the laptop as new and need to know how to do that.
THEN...
I need to migrate data from my older Macbook Pro to the newer one. I don't want to migrate all of the data. I have been moving data from one computer to another for 15 years and want to move only what is current and what I now need (Good-bye Quark files)--can I do that? How? Also, the older laptop is running Lion. The "new" one is running Leopard. Is that an issue? Do I need to upgrade the newer laptop to Lion first?
Thanks.Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Unfortunately, Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant are set up to migrate your entire Home folder, third-party applcations and support files, and system preferences. If you use the Setup Assistant that opens the first time you boot Lion after installing, then you should migrate your Home folder, etc. This is the easiest way to do it.
Once migration is finished you can delete what you don't want. -
i am regular user of apple products never face such kind of problem,my new macbook pro retina display first have white spot and lines on my display after claming they chnage my dispaly and its surprizing me when i saw new display it has all over black paches and lines i am really disappointed ,a product claim best display ever has such kind of problem ,i want soloution ,at least if they have problem they exchange me with regular display screen dont need retina,
This really isn't something that we can help with. We're just other Mac users like yourself, only we don't live in Pakistan. (None of the experts who participate here live in Pakistan, to my knowledge.)
This problem should be covered under warranty, but if there aren't any authorized Apple service providers in Pakistan, getting warranty service may not be easy. But I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to handle such a problem in Pakistan. You'll need to contact Apple. The number for Apple in Pakistan is listed here:

can I have two contact lists on one mac book pro? I need one to sync with my iphone, one to sync with my husband's iphone.
I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct? -
i set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same apple ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?
Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
One can still do most Admin things in Standard user. -

I have just completed a lengthy migration of all my files from an old Mac Book Pro to my new Mac Book Pro and I find that none of my files on my desktop have been transferred. So, I do not have the confidence that all my files have been transferred. What did I do wrong and what can I do to fix this matter. Sugggestions welcome. Thanks
Open the Users folder, drag the migrated home folder to the desktop, provide your administrator password, and retrieve the files from there. If desired, you can then use the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences to delete the migrated account. This can be done in reverse if you only want the migrated account.

Can I load my current software on to a refurbished mac book pro
Can I load my current software on to a refurbished mac book pro
When you get the MBP, the first time you turn it on, the Setup Assistant will offer to migrate your data from an old computer to the new one. Take advantage of the offer, and elect to migrate your applications too. If your MS Office apps won't open after being moved over, it will likely be because Microsoft's registration and activation routines have locked the software to the first computer it was installed on. You'll need to consult Microsoft for advice on freeing it up for use on the new computer, which will probably entail deactivationg it on the old one first.

I have a Mac Book Pro and downloaded the latest software OS X. Now whenever I start my computer, I have to wait for Windows Mac to do its thing. I checked and the "open at login" option is not checked. How can I turn this feature off? It's driving me nuts!!
All fixed Barry. When I went to restart my computer, the question was right there. Do you want to open Windows when opening. NOPE!!
I tried it a few times and thank goodness it worked. Thank you for your help today.
Best,

Which designing software I can run on mac book pro?
Hi,
I am an engineering student. I need to use designing software such as ansys, catia, autocad, pro-e, and many more. Also I have plan to buy mac book pro. I need to know which designing software I can run on mac machine and what specification it should have? Thank you.
Jaydeep2.2 Ghz 15" MacBook Pro with high res anti-glare would be the best machine for you.
The 17" is fine too if you want a larger screen.
The 1GB Radeon 6750M video card will give you all you need for GPU performance for eh next 3-5 years or longer.
So the above is a future proof choice for the long haul.
(avoid the 13" and the 2.0 ghz 15", not so good graphics performance)
The anti-glare because you going to using your laptop in many different enviroments and your not going to be able to control the lights, etc to reduce the screen reflections. money well spent to see your screen properly.
Mac's can run a lot of software, they can also direct boot into Windows for Windows only programs.
Windows can also run inside OS X using virtual machine software like VMFusion (Apple likes) and Parallels, just takes a 50% performance hit on 3D games and animation.
Another nifty thing is if you set up a "bootcamp" partition of Windows for direct boot, virtual machine software can use that as a copy for the virtual machine OS in OS X. So no need to double install.
Also if your geekish, you can make a Mac triple boot. OS X, Windows and Linux too. So all software is avaiable with full hardwre perfromance.
I have a trible boot machine, also I run about 9 other operating systems on my 17" MacBook Pro in virtual machine as it's good enough for me (not a hard core 3D gamer) and easy to manage.
