Got new logic board, now  software is making me go through authorization?

i just got a new logic board installed on my 2007 MacBook Pro. now any time i open any of my software it makes me go through the authorization process (asking for serial #) - its as though with the new logic board the software actually thinks that its been installed on a whole different computer. just wondering if this is normal or if there is any way to get around it. I do audio production on my mac so I have literally hundreds of different plugins installed many of which have complex product authorization schemes. Thanks in advance for the help.

+*its as though with the new logic board the software actually thinks that its been installed on a whole different computer*+
That's exactly what's happening. Most modern authorization/activation routines look at the hardware giving specific values to various components. When something like the logic board is replaced, the application pretty much sees that as a different machine.
I believe Apple does have the ability to set the serial number in a new logic board... although it has to be done by Apple. This alone may not bypass the need to reactive some of your applications. It depends on the specific activation scheme the application is using. You're probably best off just re-activating your applications. I've never had problems getting software re-activated when dealing with the software vendors due to this situation. Fortunately, OS X itself doesn't require activation. As something of a techy... I've replaced motherboards on desktop systems regularly and even Microsoft has never given me a problem with reactivating Windows.
It might be a pain... but hopefully you'll just have to go through it once.

  • Mac got new logic board

    My mac had to get a new logic board. I can find my website in idisk public. I see the folder of my website. When I open Iweb my site does not appear.
    How do i get Iweb to re-recognize my site?

    See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb.
    You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
    By the way, for searching purposes it may be useful to know that an iWeb '06 Domain file is called "Domain.sites" and iWeb '08 & '09 Domain files are called "Domain.sites2" — although the “.sites” extension is usually invisible.
    If you don't have a backup of your Domain file (e.g. via Time Machine), paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • My iMac got a new logic board, now my HP printer doesn't work

    I have had my Intel iMac 24" using OS 10.7.5 in the shop a lot lately. One of the things they replaced was the logic board. Now my iMac seems to be working great, but my HP printer stopped working. It's and older printer, Officejet All-in-One. I tried removing the driver and software to reinstall but it says the disc will not work because the iMac is no longer a PowerPC. That's how old the printer is. Is this a techology thing, is the printer just to old, or is there something I can do to fix this. Should it at least recognize that a printer is connected. The printer is not recognized at all, that is, it says no printer is connected and even when I try to add a new printer, it does not show up in the list. So there is no way of trying to add it back, to the iMac, there is no printer connected as far as it's concerned.

    Do you have a backup of your previous install?

  • New Logic Board - now audio problem?

    Hi,
    My macbook went in for repair the other day, they said it had a faulty logicboard so have inserted a new one. Now my sound seems to be very tinny and not very loud. This is a computer-wide thing so it's the same with itunes, on the net etc.
    Is there anything I can do to try and get the audio back to normal or should I get in touch with the guys that repaired it again?
    Cheers,
    Tom

    Yeah that's what I thought. I'll get back in touch with them at the start of next week. At least the machine is staying on now!
    Just wondered if there were any settings that could have been altered.

  • Apple installed a new logic board and now iTunes music is all gone and I cannot log into store or authorize my Mac

    I have an early  2011 i7 MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.4. Earlier this week I had Geniuses at the Apple Store install a new logic board to replace a failed one. My hard drive was not touched. Anyway, when I got home and launched iTunes, I discovered that none of the tens of thousands of legally purchased songs in my iTunes library were listed, even though they actually still exist in my Music folder. Additionally, my attempts to login to the iTunes Store with my valid and correct and accurate and current Apple ID with the correct password, did not work. In fact,  no errors were generated. The logins simply erased my input after clicking SIGN IN and then the "Sign In" form came back empty.
    As a developer and 28+ year user of the Mac, I was a little stunned to say the least. The Apple Store logic board replacement process should take into account iTunes authentication problems when replacing failed logic boards, but this issue was not discussed at all, in any form during the repair intake process. So, I now have a 'fixed' MacBook Pro that will not acknowledge my thousands of legally purchased songs and will not let me log into the iTunes Store with my valid credentials or authorize or de-authorize my Mac.
    Indeed, iTunes Match is also disabled, which means $30 thrown away in paid subscription.
    Does anyone know a workaround to this Apple flaw that can correct their mistake and re-enable my Mac for using my thousands of legally purchased songs?
    Any feedback would be most appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Larry

    Having your main logic board replaced wouldn't erase music from your hard drive, if it was actually stored on the drive. Your iTunes music resides in your user home folder in a folder called Music.
    When you do get a logic board replaced, however, it is a good idea to have the computer first de-authorized from iTunes since you are only permitted to associate your iTunes Store account DRM purchases (movies, tv shows, and older digital-rights-managed music) with up to five computers. See Deauthorize your computer using iTunes.
    When a new logic board is installed, you'll need to reauthorize the Mac again. It's not the end of the world, however, if this step wasn't initially taken. See Authorize your computer using iTunes.
    ...As for not seeing your music when you launch iTunes—try point iTunes to the correct location of your iTunes folder. To do this, quit iTunes. Press the option key and click the iTunes icon in the dock. It will then ask you to navigate to the location of your iTunes music (again usually located in the Music folder in your home folder).

  • New logic board, and new display, but now completely dead.

    Hi guys,
    I've got an iBook G3, running 10.3.9.
    In December 2006, the logic board failed, so I bought a MacBook, because I didn't have time to be offline waiting weeks for Apple to replace the iBook's logic board.
    After much badgering, Apple reluctantly replaced the iBook's logic board under the extended warranty program.
    While the iBook was with the Apple repair store, they replaced the display for new as well, even though I didn't ask them to, and even though I wasn't charged for it.
    I presume that was because the store discovered that the display was duff enough to be replaced under another extended warranty program.
    When I got the "repaired" unit home, with a brand new logic board, and a brand new display, I turned it on, and it seemed to be working fine, so I turned it off, and continued to use my MacBook.
    A few weeks ago, the second logic board on my MacBook failed (another long horror story entirely), so I began using the iBook for the first time since it had been "repaired" some six months earlier.
    Almost immediately, the iBook began exhibiting a major problem, specifically that I'd be typing away, and suddenly the display would go black.
    I could just about see the icons and documents on the screen, but the unit was unusable.
    So I pulled restarts, full shutdowns, disk utility, zapped the PRAM, etc, all to no avail.
    It seemed to be an intermittent problem.
    For example, sometimes, from a cold start, the unit would work for two or three hours until the display went black.
    Other times, I'd pull a cold start, and it would go straight to the black display.
    By chance, I discovered that if I gave the iBook a shake, the display would come back on.
    But then it would go black after a second or two.
    And then with another shake, it would come back on for a second or two.
    And then it would go black after a second or two.
    And then with another shake, it would come back on, sometimes for a couple of hours at a time.
    So I figured that it must be a cable which, during the installation of the logic board, and/or the new display, wasn't seated correctly by the technician.
    I phoned Apple, and told them about it.
    They said that because I had reported the issue beyond 90 days since the logic board had been replaced, it was no longer Apple's problem.
    I explained to Apple that I hadn't used the iBook for six months, because I had a MacBook.
    After much badgering, Apple has agreed to replace the logic board if it's faulty.
    However, Apple has refused to replace the NEW display, even if that's also faulty.
    Apple is also insisting that I have to pay all the labor charges.
    Meanwhile, I've noticed that the iBook is now incredibly hot.
    I mean, the MacBook is infamous for running hot, but this "repaired" iBook makes my MacBook feel like a block of ice by comparison.
    I don't remember the iBook running so extremely hot before the "repair."
    Which has made me notice that during the last few weeks, I've never heard the iBook's fan come on.
    I presume that an iBook has a fan ?
    Please confirm.
    Therefore, another loose cable ?
    Today, the display went black again, as usual.
    So I gave the iBook a shake.
    But this time, nothing happened.
    No display.
    No fan.
    No hard drive spinning.
    Just silent and dead.
    What do you reckon, guys ?
    Duff logic board ?
    And/or duff display ?
    And/or duff fan ?
    And/or duff cabling by the technician ?
    As far as I'm concerned, I don't see why I should have to pay for yet another repair, to correct hardware and/or workmanship which was so bad that after only three weeks of ACTUAL use since the "repair", the unit is now completely dead.
    All opinions and advice gratefully received.
    With thanks and best wishes,

    Hi S,
    Many thanks for your helpful and swift response.
    I agree with you regarding the likelihood that these problems would have surfaced immediately during normal usage, regardless of how much or little time had passed since the repair.
    As advised, I will inform Apple Customer Relations UK about the new developments.
    Indeed, when I resubmit the iBook, I'll include a print-out of this discussion.
    I agree with you about the fan.
    Prior to the failure of the first logic board, I ran that iBook for YEARS, without noticing any heat issue.
    Indeed, if there had been such incredible heat, then I'd have searched these discussion boards, and reported it to Apple HQ.
    Therefore, the astonishing heat is definitely a new development since the "repair."
    Consequently, I take on board your comments about the lack of a working fan since the "repair", which I shall also mention to Apple HQ.
    As for running the Apple Hardware Test, the unit is completely dead.
    The power cable is green, but the unit is now completely silent and black.
    I also note your suggestions regarding the cable which connects the display to the rest of the unit, which I shall also mention to Apple HQ.
    No repair sheet was ever given to me by the Apple Repair Centre (ARC).
    Indeed, no receipt was ever given to me when I delivered the unit to the ARC, nor was any paperwork ever given to me when I collected the unit from the ARC.
    However, Apple HQ can see on their screen that the logic board and display were both replaced for new by the ARC.
    What else was and wasn't done by the ARC is a mystery.
    I'll phone the ARC and ask for copies of any and all paperwork, so that I can submit it all to Apple HQ, which I note is your recommended option, rather than returning the unit to the ARC.
    However, the complicating factor is that with the exception of the logic board, it is my understanding that Apple is denying any liability on any part of the "repaired" unit, including the brand new display.
    If I understand Apple HQ correctly, they're now saying that all other hardware and labor costs will be mine.
    I'm sure I could buy a WORKING second-hand iBook G3 for the same price as a repair, if not cheaper.
    Therefore, perhaps I should return the unit to the ARC, and give them the opportunity to correct their previous workmanship, at their OWN cost.
    Because as far as I'm concerned, the ARC had two customers during the repair: Apple and the end-user, as evidenced by the fact that the ARC has invoiced its first customer Apple for workmanship which was clearly not up to Apple's own standards, and the ARC has then delivered the unit to its second customer, the end-user.
    In addition, regardless of Apple's 90 day warranty on repaired hardware, UK law includes the Sale of Goods Act 1979, and other relevant legislation: http://www.dti.gov.uk/consumers/fact-sheets/page38311.html
    Furthermore, if the ARC is completely unhelpful, I could jump all over them, by writing to Apple HQ, with cc's to the UK editions of MacWorld, MacFormat, and MacUser magazines.
    As advised, if the unit goes to Apple HQ, I will suggest that the unit is looked at carefully during disassembly, to see if errors were made during the ARC "repair."
    I'm always polite when on the phone to Apple, because I love the company so much.
    Indeed, even though during the last twelve months, I've been having very bad luck with the iBook, as well as with a MacBook which has exhibited so many problems that Apple has now agreed to replace old for new, I still love my Mac.
    And joy, sweet joy, I've just seen on the TNT courier's tracker website, that my replacement MacBook, built by Apple in Singapore, then flown to Arnhem in Germany, then flown to Northampton UK, then delivered to Heathrow UK, left the Heathrow depot 30 minutes ago, for delivery to the customer.
    And the sun is shining.
    Thank you again for all your kind and wise advice.
    With best wishes,

  • Just got my MBP back with a new logic board but...

    Hello all
    I just got my laptop back yesterday. They did the logic replacement due to a bad graphics card (nvidia) I was not under warranty. I was having the Videocontroller error on the AHT. I just ran the AHT today via the apple disc. It came up with 4SNS/1/40000000:TGOD-86.500. I also noticed my superdrive does not accept blank disc media, it spits them out after a few seconds in. It still install and read programs off it. Burning discs is just the issue. I posted that issue here http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12410595#12410595 But prior to the new logic board, it recognized the discs as "blank"
    Please any help would be appreciated.
    Marc

    I had an issue whereby only certain DVDs were usable.....some were, and some weren't.
    My MBP went in for repair and the SuperDrive was replaced under my AppleCare extended warranty.
    You'll likely need your SuperDrive replaced.
    If I didn't have Applecare, I'd be up Shyte Creek by now with some very costly repairs on my September '08 MBP.
    BTW, My MBP had two logic board failures in its second year of ownership which were replaced under my AppleCare warranty.

  • HT1349 I received a new logic board and now my computer has no serial number under 'about this mac', and I need it to submit questions to apple.  What do I do?

    I can't find the serial number for my mac after getting a new logic board on recall for my macbook pro.

    You can open System Profiler and see if it contains your serial number.
    Or have the computer near a previous connected Wifi or on a Ethernet cable to your router.
    Reboot holding the D key down for like what would appear to be 10 minutes until Hardware Test appears on the screen.
    You can run a test if you wish.
    There is a pane at the top if selected will give you your new serial number.
    You also can use Terminal
    You can quickly retrieve any Macs serial number via the command line by using the following command string:
    system_profiler |grep "r (system)"
    The command results will look something like this:
    $ system_profiler |grep "r (system)"
    Serial Number (system): C24E1322XXXX
    If that fails you can give them your MAC address which is unique to each machine and there are records at Apple with it.
    Open Utilities > Terminal. Copy, paste and press enter:
    For your computers Ethernet (wired) MAC address: ifconfig en0 | grep ether
    For your computers Airport (wireless) MAC address: ifconfig en1 | grep ether

  • New logic board, still boot problems with Turbo Fans

    I bought a 2Ghz dual G5 from a guy on craigslist and he told me that the Geniuses at the Apple Store said it had a bad logic board. So I bought a brand new logic board from DVwarehouse.com, and installed it along with a new set of matched RAM from Crucial, a new HD, new PRAM battery, new video card and a new superdrive. The only thing original are the processors and power supply (and fans, of course).
    When I start it up, after the chime it quickly goes into "turbo-fan mode", which I have read that means the Op Sys didn't load correctly. Many restarts later, I was able to reset the nvram in the Open Firmware, but that didn't seem to help at all. I also pressed the SMU button (according to Apple's directions), but that didn't help much either.
    I've had a few successful boots, but always with the fans going full blast. I though that once I got Leopard loaded onto the HD, then it would calm down with a software update. But before I ever get that far, the G5 hangs. Sometimes the G5 will boot and access the HD but hangs soon after. Sometimes I can get it to boot off the Leopard DVD. But most of the time it just boots and sits there slowly spinning up the fans into turbo mode.
    The few times it has booted to access the HD or DVD, the fans go turbo right away. Other times it will boot with a chime, but then it won't access the HD or DVD and I get noting on the display.
    I should say that this behavior is almost identical to how it was acting before I replaced the logic board. But how can that be? It should be a new computer, unless the problem is in the CPUs. Is that very likely? How would I find out if the CPUs are bad?
    I've been reading alot about the problems I'm having with this G5 and what I've been having seems to be very common. But I've run out of fixes. Is there anything I can do to fix this machine or is it just money down the drain?

    my iMac 20" G5 experience since December 2004, even though I love this machine,it has gone through 3 power supply (661-3350) replacements and 3 logic board replacement since late 2004. Pretty crazy for a single machine but I still love it. The last logic board replacement did NOT fix my boot up problem, as I expected, and the genius finally agreed to replace the power supply and that fixed it. SO: My recommendation to you is "replaced the power supply" here is one place you can get one: http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Power-supply-180W-for-iMac-G5-20--100v-661-3350---614 -0353-----NEW-p-25613.html

  • 6-month old Mac Pro has already had a new logic board and power supply

    At a cost of $400 in shipping and a one-month wait, my 5-month old Mac Pro got a new power supply and logic board
    Now I keep getting kernel panics, runaway kernel_task in Activity Monitor, and corrupted boot drives
    External Firewire drives work some of the time, and occasionally my USB devices dont work either
    This computer is a nightmare - how do I begin to figure out if this is OS (10.6.4) or hardware related?
    The extended AHT test reports that all is OK - as does an extended memory test using Applejack
    Should I do firmware updates and re-install the 10.6.4 combo pack, or am I just wasting more of my time?
    I've got 4 macs and this is the only one that works badly - I think Apple's OS updates are getting as bad as Windows updates

    My first question is why you spent $400 to get a 5 month old system fixed. That should have been covered under the warranty. So someone ripped you off, or you left out some key details.
    And if you had both the logic board and PSU replaced, did you ever stop to think that maybe the problem lies with the power coming into your house? It's not really the big power spikes or blackouts you need to worry about, since those are pretty rare. What you need to worry about are the small fluctuations in voltage that happen several hundred times a day, if not an hour. Sometimes there's not quite enough power, other times there's a little too much, and all of this takes a steady toll on the PSU. It will do what it can to try and feed the rest of the computer a steady diet of electricity, but sometimes a jolt will get past it and start damaging other components. It could even cause data corruption on your HDD.
    If the PSU and logic board already went, who knows what damage it may have caused to anything else. It may just be taking longer to show up.
    It might also be that whomever ripped you off to the tune of $400 simply traded you one defective logic board for another. Or maybe they don't really know how to protect against ESD. I once saw a repair shop where the techs smoked in the same room they did the repairs. Sadly, for every one good tech out there, there's probably at least 3 complete idiots. Kind of like auto mechanics.
    And I never have problems with Windows or Apple updates. Seems like on Windows the majority of people who have problems with updates are either running some program designed to change the way Windows looks or messes with low level system files, or they have a malware infestation they were unaware of/oblivious to. Most of the people who have problems with Apple updates seem to be the same way. They're running some truly bizarre programs that mess with the system in ways programs were not intended to mess with the system. There's generally a reason OS vendors provide an API for developers. You deviate from that at your own peril.

  • Time Machine doesn't recognize old sparsebundle after new logic board

    Installed new logic board in pre-Isight 20" iMac due to capacitor swelling and kernel panic. I had also erased the internal HD. I was able to restore all my files to internal HD from Time Machine backup on the 1TB Time Capsule. Now I'm trying to back up my restored iMac to Time Capsule, but there is insufficient space. Time Capsule has three sparsebundle files: one for the 20"iMac prior to new logic board, one for a Powerbook, and one for a newer 24"iMac. Time Machine wants to create a new sparsebundle for the restored iMac, but there is not enough room and I would like it use the residing sparsebundle so that I will have backups prior to the point the new logic board was installed. I tried just changing the name of the old IMac Time Capsule sparsebundle file to the new sparsebundle filename that Time Machine creates when attempting backup, but that did not work. Any suggestions?

    1. I thought of just deleting the old sparsebundle in order to make room, but it was a less elegant solution because: a) I'd have to do a complete (i.e. lengthy) backup when really only a few things have changed (mostly software updates) since the restore. b)if something should go wrong with that process, then I've lost my backup file to restore the computer. True, I could archive the old sparsebundle to another drive, and then delete it from the time capsule, but somehow I think there should be a quicker, less labor intensive way that doesn't involve bringing in another hard drive.
    2. I believe you can restore any Mac with any time machine backup. If you boot from the system disk, go to utilities, and select restore from time machine backup, it then allows you to pick any of the files on the disk that time machine has backed up to. After all, even though Time Machine thinks this is a new computer, the restore that I just did makes it essentially the same computer that I had before the failure of the logic board--the desktop looks exactly the same. BTW, the Apple authorized service center that did the logic board replacement had put a clean version of 10.6 on the internal hard drive, and I was unable to use that system to do the restore--it just hung up. I had to do the restore using my system disk CD (and basically downgrading to system 10.5.8)

  • Is a new logic board revision confirmed? How to recognize it?

    I have seen a lot of talk about a new logic board, and some sort of photo of a paper someone got describing that it required 1.0.4.6...
    Is this really a new revision (which then fixes the whine and heat)?
    How do you recognize it? I mean, does it have a name, or what do I tell the tech guys at my local service center here in Sweden?
    Apple surely must have some stock of spare older logic boards left, and I really want to make sure that I won't receive one of those when I take my MBP in for service.

    If your computer is still whining, then yes, you may absolutely be able to get your logic board replaced again. Your logic board was replaced once on March 29th but, as I now too can confirm, Apple released an even newer, revised logic board for the MacBook Pros during the last week of June.
    If you are still experiencing the whine, call up AppleCare and simply be persistent and ask for a logic board replacement. If they say they don't know what you're talking about, simply tell them to look it up, as this is what I had to do. Once my Product Specialist sent an "escalation" to Engineering, he called me back within 2 business days and was able to directly confirm that there was a new logic board released recently, and we arranged to have my MBP sent in. And don't worry that your logic board was already replaced once. Mine too was replaced even more recently (end of May), but being as though this revision is very recent, it didn't matter. Just be polite but insist on getting a new logic board.
    I however am still waiting on its return to verify whether or not my whine is gone. Turnaround time was amazing; MBP shipped overnight (over Thursday night, that is) and arrived at the repair depot yesterday morning and is on its way back to me as we speak! I should be able to report back on Monday afternoon...

  • Lost my registrations and my sites in iweb after new logic board was instal

    I recently brought my MacBook Pro in to the Apple to store to check out why it wasn't starting up properly. I would hear a chime but the display wouldn't even light up. We tried an SMC and a PRAM reset. We tried plugging in an external monitor and reseating the ram. They had determined after 30 minutes at the genius bar that I must have a faulty logic board. Four days later I picked up my repaired notebook and everything was fine.
    I then began noticing some very peculiar things. Saved settings seemed to be missing. My browsers cache was not as I had left it. My BootCamp Volume had gone back to a previous state prior to some applications being installed and even had a user account missing. So far, this didn't seem to be enough to make an issue of until tonight.
    I went to open an application and it prompted me for my registration number. I've had this app installed for about 6 months now and never had an issue. Then I go to open iWeb and discover that all my sites and pages are missing. I haven't looked for them because they really aren't that important to me... but what if they were?!
    Many settings and preferences are perfectly fine but I find it extremely hard to understand how coincidentally all of these other items crapped out immediately after a new logic board was installed. Is there any explanation for this at all? Is there any further testing or further info I can provide to get to the bottom of this?

    Look in "About This Mac" in the  menu for the serial number. They probably didn't copy it to the new logic board. They can download software to do this from a website restricted to Apple service departments.

  • Kernel panic.. with new logic board

    Hi,
    So I recently replaced my logic board after trying EVERYTHING to fix a somewhat frequently occuring kernel panic. Now however.. it has happened again.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I honestly feel like I've tried everything. Could it be bad RAM? I've changed the hard drive, done a fresh OS X install (perhaps its something in my settings from migrating my old stuff back over?), new logic board.. reset PRAM, every suggestion I could find.
    Here is the old discussion before I changed the logic board. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3902490
    Attached the latest crash log.

    Any help at all or new fixes I could try would be greatly appreciated! Very frustrating!

    Cheers - I've run Rember a few times and it hasn't come up with any errors, but I've heard it's not a 100% accurate test. Looks like that's the only thing left it could be!
