Help required to help me keep the faith with apple!

Hello,
New to the apple world. Bought my first Apple Macbook in Dec 09. After 6 weeks of heavenly use, its now started to crash all the time. 14 times in the last day alone, & thats when i can get it to boot.
Sometimes when I turn it on, all i get is some bleeps & the white light.
I've added my last error report & some images. I would really appreciate some advise on what I need to do to get this sorted. So far my Macbook has crashed more in the last week then my Windows PC did in the whole of last year. This is turning out to be a painful transtion to the world of macs, I was planning on buying an imac next month!
Any help would be really appreciated.

I suspect a RAM problem... did you install more RAM on your own or have it done? this link is for an application to test the memory (Apple Hardware Test did too)...but you never know...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15837/rember
And this link gives instructions for removing and replacing your RAM...if you are up to it....select the right instructions for your model MacBook...it is possible that the RAM modules need to be reseated...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1651
Also it is very new and under warranty so a call to Apple might also be a good idea...if nothing else to get the issue documented...
Sorry for your trouble ...I am sure it will work out

Try Resetting the PRAM

I did not keep the email with my registration for the free trial so I do not have a serial number as I have no products due to the fact that my trial has expired but I would now like to purchase a product and I cannot skip the serial number request.

I did not keep the email with my registration for the free trial so I do not have a serial number as I have no products due to the fact that my trial has expired but I would now like to purchase a product and I cannot skip the serial number request in order to buy the product it's so irritating I'm about to just do a different product altogether... anyone know how to get or bypass the serial number request?

You must first make the purchase, then you will receive the serial number you are asking about. YOu do not acquire the serial number thru the software. You acquire it thru the purchase, possibly via a follow-up confirmation email.

A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center. You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address. 800-694-7466

You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Some users have reported that as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necassary before success.
Take your time and pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4...
However...
if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

HT2305 when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it

when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it. unistalled it 3x and in the proper order. reset all internet connection to default setting, turned off virus programs ect. Even the tech at apple by remote access couldnt fix it. use microsoft fix it also no good....\

I am having the same problem now also. It happened after I updated my version. I have NEVER had this problem before as a windows user and have had iTunes for 5 years. So, I would have to say it is an Apple problem. I have not changed anything on my computer. I still have Internet Explorer and I have not even updated windows. The only thing I updated was iTunes. Now, I am not getting any response from Apple and if you call you have to pay for support. What a joke. An iPod costs $400 you would think that after paying that much you would at least get some type of help. This will now be the last time I ever by anything apple.

So, about a week ago my macbook pro started having lots of issues: wifi connectivity, slow performance, sound issues, spotlight wasn't working. After going through the issues with apple support, they decided the best course of action was to erase the hard drive and do a reinstall. Since I have a recent backup this seemed like a good enough option. They were kind enough to send me a copy of the snow leopard disk to do the install since we couldn't get it to complete through the disk utility. Not sure why, since it says we are fully connected, it just never completed.
Anyway, so now that you have the background here is the new issue. The macbook pro keeps spitting out the disk I'm trying to install from. Disk utility and using the 'Startup Disk' function from the apple menu doesn't read the disk.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this vexing problem?
Thanks in advance.

Jeremy.Laurin,
have you tried agb76’s approach here?

I have bought a WD My Book World Edition to use for back-up of my iMac, but when I try and log onto the drive with Apple time Machine (back-up software) or connect in any other way I get the message 'There was a problem connecting to the server "MybookWorld.local" The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'
It is a brand new iMac and running Lion OSX
Any ideas on how to solve would be gratefully received?

Followed the directions on this page and it worked!
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1102423
Part One - Turn on SSH (in the admin panel)
[1] Go to to http://mybookworld.local
[2] login: username will be admin, password will be whatever you have setup. If you can't remember it should be in your Mac OS X keychain (Utilities > Keychain Access, search for "mybookworld"). If you have not changed if from the default the password will be admin as well.
[3] Switch to advanced mode.
[4] From the System tab, pick Advanced.
[5] Enable SSH Access, and click submit.
[6] Click on the network tab and then the LAN button
[7] Make a note of the IP address
Small, maybe obvious, but nevertheless important point: For the install to work, your NAS needs to be connected to a router with internet access.
Part Two - Install netatalk2.2
[8] Open Terminal.app (Utilities > Terminal)
[9] Enter the following command (substitute in 127.0.0.1 for the actual IP address you noted down in step 7), then hit return:
Code:
ssh [email protected]
[10] When prompted, enter the ssh password (will be welc0me).
[11] You are now going to download the installer. Enter the following command, then hit return:
Code:
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/netatalk2-2-on-whitelight/install_netatalk.sh -O install_netatalk.sh
[12] Once completed, you will need to run the installer. Type:
Code:
sh install_netatalk.sh
[13] You will be asked a number of question during install, answer yes to all. When asked about the "DHX2 login process", I opted to install the modified version, so I can confirm it works.
[14] Once the box has restarted, you should be able to connect to your afp shares and continue to use Time Machine.

HELP. Capture the Hdv with the Apple prores422 Capturing, but i can't chande the name of the file

Hello there,
i'm conforming an hdv shot while i capture it into FCP whit the setting of Apple pro res422.
So the point is that when i start to capture the only thing that i can controle is to give the name of the file that i'm going to capture..
everything is ok, but whet i have to chage the tape and so..the name of the file it does not work, even if i write the new name he keep the last name that i use...
i don't know what to do, i can't change the name after i capture because he capture the tape creating different file at all the stop of the shooting, so that i have alot of file for one tape..
it looks like he keep in memory some protocols with the first name i give..but how i can change it when i change the tape??
thnak u
fede

When you are logging your tape prior to capture you can do this. For example, tape one contains scenes 1,2 and three, multiple takes of each. Go to the beginning of scene one take 1. Mark an in point. Go to the end of all the takes of scene 1 and mark an out point. Log the clip as scene one. Do the same for scenes 2 and three. Hit the batch capture button.
Then as it captures it creates scene 1, scene1-1, scene 1-2, scene 1-3, et cetera.

Yesterday with help i updated my ipad with apple assistance. Today the screen is blank

Hi any advice please my screen is blank today after updating and backing it up yesterday with Apple support.
Thanks
Jenny

Thank you for the advice Eric, however I am not very computer literate and have since posted another query, which if I have posted correctly you may have seen.
I did manage to recover my data except all of my photos, I was left with 5 out of many. I have noted that on I Cloud it says that it may be necessary to update the cloud account to recover photos but I cannot find how to do this.
I would really appreciate advice.

Why do I keep getting problems with Apple not recognizing my email password? This suddenly started and just reminds me of the mess that mobileme was. Calendar dev also is not working. What a complete mess!

Can't access my email - endless messages saying password is wrong, which it is not. Mobileme all over again. I now need to forward all Apple mail to GMail, which is how an email system should work. Same is true with the calendar - a complete mess on the integration with my Google calendar.
This is really, really a pain!!

OK this is Cormacin Texas - these idiots have put me through the hoops, effectively locking me out of the support forum. Anyway I've solved the problem - it took 3.5 hours, involved a trip to the Genius bar at the local Apple store, and one and a half hours escalating through the dial-in help support - which was about the only thing the Genius was good for.
What you need to know is:
1. Apple are having problems with their servers, but have not published the fact - we've all wasted a lot of time because these guys want to keep their Customer Sat scores high, I guess. (I'm starting to feel like one of their Chinese factory workers!)
2. This server problem is compounded by the fact that it only affects a few random servers
3. It in turn can lead to problems sending emails which require you to change your Apple Mail password, and in my case surgically remove bad records for various hidden email and library folders. (Good luck with that!)
So, a problem that they hide, a knock-on set of work that the problem indirectly causes, which they also hide, and a support structure that is geared for hardware, not the services that they are now selling.
My suggestion is to change your mail password using the web (icloud.com) access to Mail and see if that works. After that, remove and reset up your Apple email (Preferences) and pray that you don't have to join endless telephone answering lines where some of the folks will cut you off because they can't be arsed.
The two guys that finally helped me were brilliant, knew their stuff and could not have done a better job. The key guy was Danny - if you get him, your golden!

I am having an iphone 4 and it is not working. i am trying to restore it on itunes directly but it stays at waiting for iphone status with no errors and the iphone goes into a mode where it keeps restarting continuously with apple logo on the screen

How to keep the column with FIXED? When I use pivot refreshes in Excel 2007, it keep changes

I use MS Excel 2007.
I want to keep the column fixed whenever I refresh data in pivot tables.
I tried even coding it with a macro:
Columns("B:F").Select
Columns("B:F").EntireColumn.AutoFit
And, in another time I tried columnwidth value to a fixed number; both doesnt work.
Please suggest a solution
Thanks in advance
Rafeek KBM

Hi Rafeek,
One solution is to set the column width after manually or programmatically refresh the PivotTable, for example:
Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
End Sub
Another option is to set the column width, then protect the columns from been updated by the user, before refreshing the PivotTable, unprotect the worksheet. For example:
Public Sub LockColumnA()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
ws.Columns("A").Locked = True
ws.Protect "123"
End Sub
Public Sub UnprotectWorksheet()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Unprotect ("123")
End Sub
