Hi everyone, i recently bought a mac book pro and tried using the facetime app on it, but unfortunately i am not able to log onto it from my mac and able to log onto my id from a different mac, ipad2, iphone. My mac is giving me problems only for my id

please send me how to use my macbook for facetime. Thanks.

If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you cannot use it on another machine. It is tied to the machine it came with. You are allowed to make a one time transfer of the OS when you sell the machine as long as it remains with that machine.
If you purchase Lion from the app store, you are free to install it on as many Macs as you own - however, if/when you sell one of those Macs, you are required to uninstall Lion as the license is not transferable and you need to reinstall the original OS.
You can read the SLA for yourself - the link to the downloads to all licenses is here:

  • I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

    I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.  It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro.  When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device.  I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer.  Any ideas?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

  • Hey everyone I recently bought a iPod touch 5gen and the battery dosent fully charge I leave it on the charger for 2 to 3 hrs and it remains at 40 sometimes 20 percent what can it be and how can I fix it?

    I recently bought a new iPod 5gen and the iPod dosent hold it's charge it stays at 40 sometimes 20 percent half an hr goes by and it says it's fully charged once I unplug it it says it has 20 percent what can I do to fix it or what can I do about it?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why are the files I migrated over from a backup hard drive locked and inaccessible on my new used Mac Book pro? I used the migration assistant. Running Snow Leopard on a core duo.

    My laptop got pinched and I bought a used Mac Book Pro, put a larger hard drive in it and performed a clean install of Snow Leopard on the new drive, after which I used the Migration Assistant to bring over my applications, settings, documents, etc., from my backup hard drive. This hard drivekis not a Ti e Machine drive, it's one I use to clone my computer to regularly with Carbon Copy Cloner. When the migration was complete all my documents, the desktop,and other folders are locked and won't allow me to access them. What to do? Thanks for the help.

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

  • Migrating from G5 mac to Mac Book Pro: How to use the Migration Assistant?

    Unfortunately, my G5 Mac died with a logic board defect. Fortunately, all the data are preserved as the harddisk is fully working (and ready to migrate)
    Now to come to my question: I want to migrate the data from my G5 harddisk to my MacBook Pro using the migration assistant. My major interest is to preserve my preference settings as well as the application support folder within the library folder. Will I run into trouble as some of the applications won´t run properly on Intel Macs or will the migration assistant automatically sort those out. If not, it seems like a lot of manual work I´ll have to do.
    How have others done the port from G4/G5 to Intel Macs (additionally, it will be from Tiger to leopard to make things even more complicated)?
    Thanks a lot for your help
    Wolfgang
    Thanks very much for your help

    Hi Wolfgang,
    Using MA from a PPC to an Intel Mac can give you some trouble down the road. Usually, the problems caused by this are difficult to track down, so you are better off moving selected files manually.
    Kappy has written a helpful guide for the PPC to Intel transition, which you can read in this thread:

    Hope this helps...

  • I purchased my mac oct 2011 with the latest version of iPhoto, but why am i not able to upgrade to the current version? I'm always asked to log in with the name i used to buy the app. does it mean i have to purchase the update?

    I purchased my mac Sept 2011 with the latest version of iphoto. Every time I try to do an iphoto update I'm always asked to log in with the name I used to purchase the app. Does this mean that I have to purchase the latest update? I thought the updates were free and if it so, how do I actually update iphoto?

    DId you Accept the apps when you bought the Mac? In the App Store go to the Purchases List and press Accept there. Then you'll be able to update. If that's not available then you'll need to contact App Store support.
    Regards

  • Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. HELP!!

    Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. I know that the folders that have the problem were not transferred to the hard drive via a photo transfer application (I have a Canon camera) but I simply copied them out of the photo card and onto my old PC.
    Is there some way I can open these pictures on my Mac? They work fine on a PC.

    Thanks for your reply.
    The files don't open in preview either. In preview I get the error message 'The file "xxxx_xxx.jpg" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize'. The folders with these un-openable pictures do not even get imported into iPhoto. When I try to import them I get an error message about the files being unreadable.
    The color profile information on the un-openable files is not visible but I see that all the other files from my old drive are RGB.

    Install the required Windows drivers: Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033. Download this link preferably from Windows. Otherwise, download onto a FAT formatted USB disk from which you can copy to your Windows system.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iTunes in Mac OS X Tiger is outdated. Open  > Software Update to install the latest iTunes version for Tiger.
    If you need iTunes 10.7 or a newer version, you have to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. First, check that your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 If it is, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After buying Snow Leopard, make a backup of your data, insert the DVD and upgrade to Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install the latest Snow Leopard version. Finally, run Software Update again to install iTunes 11.0.4. If you want to install iTunes 10.7 instead, download it from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1576

  • Hi everyone. I bought my Mac Book Pro 2 years ago and it has had problems since. Did they sell me a faulty netbook?

    Hi everyone. I bought my Mac Book Pro 2 years ago and it has had problems since.
    Did they sell me a faulty one?

    They say it happens with laptops
    Well... yes... it can happen with all computers, but that's certainly not a resolution.  Are you working directly with Apple or a different service provider?  If something (Word) has not been working since day one... even after repairs, then they haven't fixed it (provided you told them about the problem).  
    Basically, as others have said... if you've been getting the service you've described directly from Apple, I would give them a call and express your concern.  You're in good shape while your warranty is still effective.  Get them to fix it to your satisfaction.  If something isn't working as it should, don't be afraid to say something.

    HI,

    It really depends on what you have done so far.
    The Simplest is to open iChat go the word iChat in the Menu Bar (Drop Down Menu)
    Select Preferences.
    In there select Accounts.
    Highlight any account in the list you no longer want (you can't delete the Bonjour one)
    Once highlighted press the minus button at the bottom of the list.

  • I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac

    I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?

    Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
    See info here.
    Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
    It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
    In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
    There is more info here.
