Good day, I would like to use my macbook pro to install windows 7 and it seems it requires a "backup disc" There was not one in the box when I bought this unit. Where can I purchase one? Thx.

Hello, I would like to use my Macbook pro computer to be able to use windows 7. There are references to using a backup disc that has an apple logo on it. I did not receive one when I bought this computer. Does anyone know where to purchase or get one of these discs? Thx

You need to have a backup disk drive before you ever make changes to your system; to the partitions and hard drives. Most users at a minimum use TimeMachine to backup their system to an external disk drive, which a WD MyBook Mac 2TB are about $99.

What do you mean by "HD to VGA adapter converter"?
Do you mean have an HDMI to VGA adapter connected the the Mini's HDMI port?
Or maybe you plugged n the the included HDMI to DVI adapter and then connected a DVI to DVI adapter?
In either case that will not work since VGA is analog and the Mini's HDMI port is digital only.
You need to purchase a mini displayport to VGA adapter. It plugs into the Mini's Thunderbolt port.

Make sure you get a name--brand one. I purchased some el cheapo, no-name ones and they did not work

Good afternoon, I would like some information I have an ipod nano 6th generation and has the same one-year warranty is only 2 months of use, and it fell down and broke the glass of the display, I called technical assistance in Brazil and informed me that Brazil has no repair services for Apple, which was the basis of its price change in the exchange is not worth half the value of the product.
I wonder how I do to change this device without the expense of 50% for the same product is in warranty?
Thanks in advance.

yes agree, plus a multinational seeing a product and has no technical assistance to do the maintenance then it's no use I buy a new product if it is damaged I will always be because it has no prejudice in this maintenance.
sorry but even more products coming from China to Brazil in technical assistance.

I have an Intel iMac running OSX 10.6.8. I would like to use Final Cut Pro 10.1. I know I need OSX 10.9 for this. Can I run both 10.6.8 and 10.9 on the iMac ? I do not want to convert completely to 10.9 because of my existing software. Thanks for any help

It would depend on how old your IMac is, how mush memory you have, it it can be upgraded by OWC, etc. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro and would NOT put Mavericks on it or espeacially FCP 10.1.1 on it because the most memory it can have is 4 GB. You need at least 8 GB to work with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. IMHO.
I would try to find a copy of Final Cut Express perhaps.
Does this answer your question?

Would like to use iMessages internationally, sending between an iPod touch and and iPhone. Does anyone know if it will work between countries?

The iPhone is not user servicable. You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149. If you open the phone yourself, you forfeit the ability to do this.

I would like to buy a Macbook Pro and it would be my first Mac device. I have selected this model MGX82HN/A MB PRO DUAL CORE i5 2.6GHZ/8 GB RAM/256 GB SSD/ Iris Graphics device. Please advice whether it would suffice a normal user who works in a management consulting industry with project presentation related software in work ? Thanks.

instead of buying an Apple USB superdrive, is it safe to use third party usb optical drive ?
Not only would it be safe but less expensive as well. The tray loaders are deemed to be the most reliable. Apple does not support Blueray so avoid that.

I did not say XP is useless, just old.
My work project requires certain compatibilities. One of those is "IE 7". So we are no supposed to re-image the PCs with 7, even though corporate-wide is moving towards re-image with 7.
But when my XP install failed, the local PC admin said that re-intstalling XP would be days of patching, while 7 was a single-image-install with few patches.
Pick your poison, I guess.
Well not to get off topic but your company needs a new IT guy. You can slipstream all the updates into an install image and for that matter you can take one PC, updates it, create an image from it and use a universal install feature to image any PC with that updated image.
Now back on topic.

I would like to buy a Macbook Pro on the site and remove in a store, but I'm from Brazil

I would like to buy a Macbook Pro on the site and remove in a store, but I'm from Brazil and I will be in Miami next month only. I can already make the purchase and conduct the removal as soon as you arrive? How long the product is in the store? Is there any email I can contact Appe to clarify this doubt?

in the case of refurbished I can only buy online and mac is sent to the store once confirmed s purchase. in my case going to the U.S. early next month and would like to assure you buy, how long the product will be in the shop so I can pickup?

I am now currently studying in Switzerland. I would like to buy a macbook pro in USA so may I ask how much for the shipping fees?

I'm not so sure if it's possible that Apple ships internationally. Why not just look into getting one in your country that you live in?

Does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...

I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else.

Okay, use AirPlay if the Mac supports it or Home Sharing.

I get the message "Install Adobe Flash" can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store. This is the first time I have gotten the message. What do I need to do?

Hi Sandra,
you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy. There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:" The default selection is 'Mac App Store'. Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".

This is not an issue with Firefox, your message actually confirms this by the error you listed. "There was an error on the server" Firefox is only an internet browser basically, the connection to the internet & such local configuration is outside external from Firefox, the server is on the host side of the connection. It sounds like you have a bad connection between the server & your computer which Firefox has nothing to do with, rather it is your local network. I would actually check out Windows 7 VPN support, you need to setup a virtual private network VPN which is basically a secure connection stable enough to support the bandwidth required to facilitate the meeting.
This is why you are also having the problem with Internet Explorer as you need to correctly configure a VPN connection via windows if your connection supports it.
