Has anyone who has reinstalled Lion got iLife back afterwards?

Surely by purchasing the MBP 2011 I have purchased the iLife suite also? 'Recovery' would suggest you get back what you had originally - has anyone managed to do this? I am aware that a lot of people have had this issue, I am wondering if I am going to jump through a succession of hoops to then pay for the software that I bought the computer in order to use!
If anyone has managed it without buying it again, I would love to know how you did it so I can go directly to that solution - One hoop will be enough if possible.
Thanks in advance

If you look in the App Store for your iLfe apps, do they show as installed or download instead of a price? Are they listed in the Purchases section? if they are then you canre-install them at any time for no cost.

After reinstalling lion, missing ilife, how do I get the program back?

after reinstalling lion, missing ilife, how do I get the program back?

No, you don't. Your new purchase is connected to your Apple ID, so you will not have to pay to purchase the iLife apps that came with the computer.

Quick question about reinstalling Lion and iLife

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro mid 2010.
If I reinstall Lion, I obviously need the "Applications Install DVD" to install iLife. This should work even if the DVD is for Snow Leopard that came with my Mac, right?
Just to make sure...
V-M

This is much simpler.
If you have the System Restore disks that came with your Mac then yes, you do have the iLife apps on them.
Yes you can install the iLife apps without installing the whole OS. Just opt to 'Install Bundled Applications only'

ANYONE'S ipad2 order delivery got called back by APPLE / FEDex?????????????

OMG... WTH is going on with apple..
i placed my order online right after it became available in the early morning of 3/11. my order was picked up from china on 3/17, left hong kong on 3/21, arrived in Los angeles 3/25... when i last checked around the 25th, delivery was supposed to be Mon 28th... and when i looked again last night.. it says "shipment exception / undeliverable package"......
according to fedex.. the package has been recalled by the shipper to ship back to them. the CSR gave me the new tracking# which shows that it has been delivered at ELK GROVE, CA today.
and when i call apple, the rep doesn't know a thing and gave me standard shxtty answer like "oh.. i m not sure what's going on but let me put in a request to find out. until we receive the package..we won't know what's going on"

Just speculation but it's possible the Apple Quality control found something wrong with some of the iPads that were shipped and so are recalling them. Still this seems highly irregular. If this were the case an Apple rep should have contacted you to let you know what the situation was.
The other possibility might be that your iPad was stolen internally by FedEx employee....but you would think FedEx would have come clean about this rather than trying to sweep it under the rug and say it was a problem with Apple.
In any case hope you get it resolved. You might call Apple customer care...tell them your story and ask that you be able to have one reserved at a local Apple store rather than having to wait a month for a new one

Is there a way to lock up Mail so that anyone who launches it can't read my emails?

I tried going into Accounts and then deleting the password there but old emails are still visible. I tried using System Preferences to uncheck my Mail account but anyone who knows Macs can just go back in there and recheck it.
Is there a "lock" type way to prevent people from being able to open and read my mails? I really would prefer not to Delete my accounts. I would just like to be able to set some password lock on it the way you can lock up files in Word.
Help.

Mail is associated with an account. So simply create an account that is used only by the person who has access to the mail. Other accounts cannot access it.
You mention "lock up files in Word." This has nothing to do with Mail. But if you mean Microsoft Word, although completely off topic, yes, you can password protect documents there.

Your carrier determines what you can send in a text message, Apple has no control over it as SMS and MMS are completely carrier-based

Is it time yet for Microsoft to "Recall" Office 2013 and provide anyone who has a 2013 license a replacement Office 2010 license?

The interface is terrible and can't be changed. Every application in the suite locks up/crashes nearly constantly on any machine it is used on. The activation process is terrible and wastes hours of any support/IT dept's time. From a 'privacy
standpoint', the software is seemingly criminally intrusive. It is clearly a product that should never have been released and is so far from functional that it can't be repaired by any 'service pack', 'hotfix', or 'patch'. It needs to be completely
scrapped.
The only 'redeeming quality' of this software is that the guy who was in charge of creating it is gone from Microsoft. (Unfortunately, he is now President Obama's appointee for running the attempt at repairing the 'healthcare.gov' website...
out of the frying pan... )
When the software is installed using one profile (domain or machine account) and a different profile tries to use the software, it requires 're-activation' - which often fails because the software believes it has been installed multiple times. (This is particularly
frustrating because it has to be installed by an administrative user, but most of the time, the person who 'uses' the software is not the 'administrator' - so it is almost always being 'installed' using one profile and 'used' using another profile).
The necessary intrusion into privacy created by the requirement of a "Microsoft Account" to use the software is seemingly criminal.
The tracking of, and installation of licenses is absolutely ridiculous.
An example:
Many of my clients have many users and many computers (up to 75 or so).
I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'user', but these machines get moved between users, and the software license is tied to the 'machine' and not to the 'user' so as soon as that happens, the licenses and the users are no longer
in line and become impossible to track.
I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'computer'... and I can't even count the ways this would be a nightmare to try to track.
I actually did that up front for one client, and created Exchange email boxes for each computer so that "prove you are really you" emails from Microsoft could be received managed, and responded to, and passed out second usernames and passwords
to all of the users so they could "log-in" to their Office 2013 software, and created a database of the 'computer usernames and passwords' so I could track this... unfortunately, this confused the users (as it rightfully should) so they would change
the passwords for their computer's 'Microsoft User Account' thus locking me out and invalidating my database, ... and... CLUSTERF#%K!!!
As a 'best - worst case', I have had to create a single 'Microsoft User Account" for each of my clients' businesses so I can install and activate Office 2013 products. This is a whole new set of "Awesome Stupidity".
Now, I can put a new computer into a client's office and install their new license key for their oem Office 2013, and it shows up in the 'business's Microsoft User Account'. Then when I give the machine to the user, I get to 're-activate' the software
(hoping that it doesn't tell me to piss-off - which happens about 40% of the time. This is a process that can only be described as a "feat of engineering created by a group of monkeys whose former jobs included 'janitor at MAD magazine headquarters'
or 'beer-pong referee').
It starts with two hours of pressing phone buttons and ultimately talking to someone who tells me "yeah, nothin' I can do about that I'm just here for product activation" (which, incidentally, is done by machine until you pass through MS's ridiculous
labyrinth of repetitious keystroking until the machine is convinced you are just too stupid to punch in the right numbers and allows you to talk to a person... who then asks you for the exact same set of numbers and repeats back the exact same responding set
of numbers and acts dumbfounded when it still doesn't work - since it didn't work the first six times you punched or said it into the phone) followed by "I need to send you to the support group... but because it's 6:30 pm (in a process you started at
3:00pm) they are gone for the day and you'll have to call back on Monday morning"
At some point in the process, you get to log into the "Microsoft user account" and 'roll the roulette wheel of stupidity' by trying to activate the right software from a list of 40 different lines that all say "Microsoft Office 2013 Home and
Business oem", but none give any indicator or differentiating factor like for instance: license key, date installed, license key last 4 digits, mother's maiden name, phase of moon when software was first activated, color or type of blood of the user's
paperboy's dog's previous owner... NOTHING... RANDOM FREAKING STAB IN THE DARK - pick one, any one, hope its the license you are trying to install onto this machine, 'cause if not, you very well may kill the product on some other machine.
So through the process, the lucky support staff person gets' to waste roughly an hour and a half on average for every Microsoft Office 2013 installation. I have actually had to start telling my clients that they are going to likely have to pay an extra
$100 or so per machine in order to get their new Microsoft Office software which comes on their new computer activated - that number tends to work out roughly accurately - except that it is a terrible way of trying to 'please a client'.
Oh,... and did I mention... "THE SOFTWARE CONSISTANTLY FAILS"!?!
A client tries to open a document that they have been using for 8 years and Excel doesn't say "Hey, I don't know how to deal with some element of the file that you put in here using Excel 2003, or Office 2010 (both products, by the way, which worked
great) - no... instead,... it crashes. Doesn't really do any damage to the file it choked on, but the work you'd been doing on three other files which you also had open,... yeah,... that work is gone.
Yeah,.... over time, I have developed a pretty consistent spiel for client's needing new computers that goes over how absolutely terrible Office 2013 is, and explains that our options are further limited by Microsoft's yanking of all Office 2010 or previous
products from market availability, and explaining the merits of both LibreOffice and OpenOffice, as well as their drawbacks. I also have a strangely static response explaining how "larger companies are not burdened by these issues because they are
able to use MOPL which allows them to downgrade their productivity software to Office 2010 so they can continue to function happily, but this is really not a cost effective solution for smaller companies who primarily buy oem Office products with their replacement
computers".
Unfortunately, many clients still decide they want to go with Office 2013 because they apparently believe "it really can't be that bad". The value in my 'presale descriptions' are only really realized when they come back to me a week, two
weeks, or up to a month after the new machine is in place and say "wow,... you were right". The place I am left open for any further problems is when I don't impress upon them beforehand just HOW BAD OFFICE 2013 REALLY IS. In that case,
they still come back to me as though I have done something wrong foe selling them this piece of $#!% software and I have to remind them of our previous discussions.
Strangely, far too few heed the warnings and buy the software anyway - but the discussion has saved many clients the costs of Microsoft Project, because the discussion of LibreOffice and OpenOffice nearly always leads to at least a small philosophical conversation
about 'Open Source Software' in general, and my absolute favorite descriptive analogy in that discussion is to compare Microsoft Project at $600 v. ProjectLibre at $0 - and then further describe the costs of licensing and implementing the associated back-end
server solutions, etc.
This is a saving grace for me, because even though the client has been saddled with Office 2013, they have also saved substantially on Project and it is a rare (but granted, not absolutely absent) occasion that ProjectLibre is lacking some feature or function
that they actually need or want to use - and on those occasions, finding out has cost them absolutely nothing in software purchases.
Its not surprising, I suppose, that clients have grown to accept Office as a required 'cost', but still choke heavily on the price-tag of Project every time they have to buy it. The interesting thing to watch over the coming couple of years will be
'how many businesses stop accepting MS Office as a 'required cost' due to the failing of the software itself and the fact that most are being burned, at least once, by purchasing the software "against technical advice" and are learning, merely by
virtue of HOW BAD Office is, that there are other options out there that both cost less and work better... I mean,... LOTS BETTER.
How many businesses that are used to accepting the cost of Microsoft Office as a cost of doing business will be moved over to open source options and satisfied by them by the time Microsoft releases its next version - which will, presumably work - such that
they will no longer justify the cost of Microsoft's offering even if it is 'superior' to the open source offerings because the open source offerings are plenty sufficient and include a price tag of $0 and an installation/implementation time that is much, much
shorter than Microsoft's offering.
If Microsoft doesn't make some dramatic reparations, and do it soon, I expect their market share will be reduced in this area by a very significant margin.
I am suggesting either a 'Complete Recall' of Office 2013 including an 'uninstall 2013/install 2010' process driven by the automatic update engine, or at the very least, a free and easy downgrade rights offering for anybody who has already purchased 2013
and anyone who purchases it between now and the time the next "functional product" is released.

I understand the inconvenience you are experiencing when working with Office 2013.
If you have any feedback about Office 2013 product, click the and submit to Microsoft.
Microsoft will decide how to fix the problem for all customers.
For the activation mechanism, it intends to protect customers of their rights and interests.
For a retail version of Office, if it was purchased with a disk, Microsoft account is not necessary during the installation.
For volume license of Office, refer to the following link to deploy Office suites can be much efficient:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178982.aspx
For the problem Office 2013 keep crashing, check the following link to check:

Is there anyone who has used Freescale's SimpleSUB.dll and DEMOJM board?

Hello,
I am trying to connect Frescale DEMOJM board over USB connection. I am adding SimpleUSB.dll to my visual instrument thorough .NET constructor node and giving an mscorlib class GUID to the GUID property, than calling OpenConnection method from an invoke node referencing the SimpleUSB reference. But there is no valid connection to the device as DeviceConnected parameter return "False".
I am using LabVIEW 8.6 trial, .NET Framework 3.5. So they are up to date I guess. Is there a limitation of these for using .NET dll? And also I can use the dll in Visual C# successfully.
At first there was another problem using the .NET constructor node in LabVIEW because of Vista OS. The vi was blocking when i added the node to the vi. I changed the "language & regional settings" to English(USA). The problem seemed to be solved. Can Vista's bug be still a problem?
Is there anyone who has used Freescale's SimpleUSB.dll and DEMOJM board with LabVIEW?
I will be thankfull for your helps.

Hello Anna,
Here is one of my poor vi trials. I have also tried putting some conditionals in some other files but it didn't helped.

Here is a link for the Freescale's DEMOJM board. It shows how to make a GUI for the board using SimpleUSB.dll & C#. You can also download the dll from that web page and there is helpfull documentation for the dll.

I am trying to make the same thing with Labview instead of C#. But I am not familiar with the SW issues so am in trouble.
Thanks,

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
So here's what I done so far:
tried resetting PRAM - No success
Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
Tried booting from safe mode - no success
Tried the command line boot - no success.
Please someone help!

Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

My Bootstrap nav conundrum: Does anyone who has used a bootstrap nav in BC had this issue...

My Bootstrap nav conundrum: Does anyone who has used a bootstrap nav in BC had this issue or know the fix: If you look at any page on http://www.aerotype.com, the first two clicks on almost any part of the page (like the rotator image left or right arrow) cause the page to jump, and you open the inspector on the top nav area and look at the div with the class="navbar-collapse collapse navbar-right navbar-ex1-collapse" you'll see that an additional class, .in, is added and .collapse is removed on the first click, and a style="height: auto;" is added, then on the second click it's changed to style="height: 0;"... I can't figure our what is causing 'in' to be added to the class (or .collapse removed), what it's for, or how to change it, if that is the issue... the his doesn't happen when the class: navbar-collapse is removed, so I think is has something to do with that but of course the collapse doesn't function without it. If anyone can enlighten me on what is going on I would Greatly appreciate it.

You have this click function on the top'ish part of your site.js that is causing this issue!
// collapse navbar in phone mode on click $(document).on('click',function(){ $('.navbar-collapse').collapse('hide'); }) // end collapse navbar in phone mode on click
Your are better off just deleting it (the click function) as it is not doing what the code comment says it does.

My bad, my post was unclear.
I wasn't sure what you meant by src. You clarified that point.
By (re)reading parts of the online text book, I realized that it's quite outdated. They really should issue a more up-to-date version.

For Anyone who has Blackberry Connect WITH OTA Con...

I've tried with an E61i, E90, and now E51, all with the latest firmware and latest Blackberry Connect software, and nothing I do on the device allows me to be able to do OTA sync of our corporate Exchange, (Outlook), Contacts. I only have the standard 3 options for sync in my Blackberry Connect client on my phone, Email Settings, Email Filters, and Calendar.
For anyone who has this working, can you confirm whether or not there is a BES server side setting that must be enabled to allow this OTA Contact sync, and what it is? If this is the case I'm not sure our corporate BES admin will go for it, but I can at least stop pulling my hair out on the client side..
Thanks,

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the link. I did went there and had a look.
First, as the article pointed out, there is a difference between Mac users and PC users. Mac users are Mac FANs, PC user are mostly just PC users. So if I look at the numbers, the number for Macs is less objective to me.
Second, the data was collected on pre-Intel units, especially iBooks, which has been around how many years? more than 5 I believe, correct me if I am wrong. Any product having that kind of life span should have a nearly perfect quality. Apple just simply had much more time to correct defect than other PC manufaturers, so no mistery here.
Third, Apple charges a premium price for its products, so it shoule choose the coponent vendors carefully and it owns its customers/fans a solid system. On the other hand, the other PC vendors are constantly going through fierce competition to lower their price, so it is inevitable to have some component vendors providing crapy parts, such as some LCD screens and keyboards from Dell.
Finally, lets look at MB and MBP, if they are as good as old Macs, then we should see similar amount of people complaining about MB and MBP as iBook and similar, but is it the case?
I very much want to be a member of the Mac world, especially now it uses one chip I worked on, but my shopping and reading experience told me otherwise - the MacBook is not ready, we need time to see if it lives up to the Apple name and it would be interesting what the next report from PC Magzine will look like...
Being a PC user almost all my life till now, want to join the Mac club, but Apple is making it supper hard for me. Is it really too much to ask for a working new MacBook upon arrival?!

Has anyone with a whinning MacBook got it replaced with a silent one?

Has anyone with a whinning MacBook got it replaced with a silent one?
or
Has anyone got the CPU whine fixed at Apple?

I had a whining week 12 MacBook Pro. I exchanged it at the Apple Store for another week 12 MacBook Pro (they didn't have any week 13 models).
The second week 12 MacBook whined far louder than the first. Also, unlike the first MacBook which whined only on battery power, the second MacBook whined on both A/C and battery. Moreover, it was unstable (something I did not experience with the first MacBook) and prone to kernel panics.
I returned the second MacBook. I was offered a week 13, but I asked for my money back instead.
I'm currently waiting to see what Apple says about this issue before ordering again.

My new macbook air sometimes has trouble starting up. It gets stuck at various stages. I have reinstalled Lion twice. That solves the problem for a few days and then in reoccurs. Any ideas? Thanks, Marty

My new macbook air sometimes has difficulty booting up. I reinstalled Lion twice. That soves the problem temporarily and then after a few days it reoccurs. It also has trouble at times opening mail or Microsoft Word. Any ideas? Thanks, Marty

Marty,
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "difficulty" during the boot sequence? When/where is the difficulty occurring? Are you getting to the Apple logo? Apple logo with spinning gear? Blue screen? Login window? There's many phases to the boot sequence and when it fails can go a long way in determing what's causing the problem.
Also, what sort of third party software is installed? It sounds like at a minimum you've installed Microsoft Office? Anything else?
Lastly, after you reinstall Lion do you perform a restore from backup or remigrate your data/content right back into the new OS? If so that could potentially be the problem right there. But truthfully there's more information that needs to be provided to begin recommending troubleshooting steps.

Has anyone who has reinstalled Lion got iLife back afterwards?
