I started using LT 4 and I have a serial number, also upgraded to LT 5 and have a serial number. Now I just bought a new Macbook Pro and installed the LT 5, but it doesn't accept my serial number. Why?
When you installed the Lightroom 5 on your MacBook, did it ask for both serial numbers. Since you purchased Lightroom 5 as an upgrade, you need both the serial number from your original purchase as well as the new serial number for Lightroom 5. If you have both of those numbers and they are still not being accepted then you will have to contact Adobe customer support for a solution.

Wonder if anyone can help? Have just bought a new Macbook pro and installed FCP7. I thought that I would get quicktime pro as standard but stuck with QTX. Downloaded QT7 but it won't let me install it. Says I can't do install as I already have QTX. Does FCP not come with QTpro or am I jsut being stupid. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks. B
Hi there,
Are you running Lion or Snow Leopard? either way this may help by the looks of it.

I've lost the use of Appleworks by upgrading to 10.9.2.
Is it possible to partition the internal hard drive of my MacBook Pro and install an older Mac OS (10.6.8) on the second partition with OS 10.9.2 on the other? I'd like to be able to boot to the older OS when I need Appleworks and few other applications that aren't available on OS 10.9.2.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help.Hello again, WZZZ,
Here's an update. I was successful in creating two partitions on my internal drive, and in installing OS 10.6.6 on the second partition, as per your guidence. I now have it up to 10.6.8 with all the security updates and AppleWorks. A great thing.
Some thoughts:
• The partitioning had one hitch; it failed at first. But once I "repaired" the disc with Disc Utility the partitioning went thru.
• The partitioning took a long time in 'resizing the partition.' A few hours I think it was. Lots of progress bar watching.
• If I had it to do again, I'd size the two partitions differently. My original data was occupying about 230 Gb of the 320 Gb disc. I made the new partitions share the space, about 230 and 75Gb. That left very little available space for the main disc. I ought to have put some breathing room in there. As it is, it's an incentive to clean up all those files, especially all those iTunes files. I now have about 10% of available space there and mean to continue deleting.
So, all in all a good project that got me where I wanted to go. Thank you for your help.
Appreciatively,

I partitioned my MacBook Pro and installed Windows 8 in it.....now I can't find my partition when I pressed option key when booting up.....so how can I do to find the partition to boot...I can see it in the disk manager in Mac....any ideas? thanks..!..
Hi LamboMong,
just try this:
http://refit.sourceforge.net
install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
(The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
I hope that will solve your problem.

So I just updated my MacBook Pro and installed the new version of iPhoto and rebooted it and now there is a logo of the world blinking on my screen and it will not go away please help
You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default. -

Recently, I noticed that my iPhone5, iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th Gen stopped backing up to the iCloud automatically despite ALL of them doing so previously, without a single problem. A few weeks ago I bought a Macbook Pro and I backed up all 3 devices to it a couple times (and they still backed up to the iCloud by themselves without a problem). A few days ago, I noticed that ALL 3 OF THEM stopped backing up to the iCloud automatically. Around the same time, I backed them up to my Mac and I also downloaded the iOS6 update. I'm not sure what is wrong. Has anybody else experienced this type of problem? I'm NOT very familiar with MAC computers as this is my first one and I've been learning a lot as I go. I don't know if I did something in the setting's of iTunes when I backed the devices up that could have caused the decives to stop backing up to the iCloud automatically. I did notice on my previous laptop (a Gateway) and on this one (the MacBook Pro) that on each device, I had to go into "Setting's" on each device and turn the "iCloud Backup" back to the "On" position! That was right after I backed them up to each computer. I attempted to fix it yesterday by adjusting the setting's in iTunes, but nothing worked. If anyone can help, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you!!!
Ok, I can try those things this afternoon. I have to leave now and won't be able to try for several hours. I'll let you know how things turn out. Thank you again. Also, I am not sure what DNS Setting's are regarding the router and how to change them. Thank you again for trying to help me with this. One side note. I noticed yesterday on another post regarding this topic, a man said he changed his iCloud email from one to another. I have two. One is and @me.com address and one is an @icloud.com address. I switched them around the other day. One device had @me.com as the one the email one be sent from (I think that was the phone) and I believe the iPad 3 had @iCloud.com as the other. Well, I switched them both to @icloud.com. In the post I mentioned a man said that he did that to his, and it worked. That was a few days ago and this was around the same time I began noticing the devices not synching to iCloud like they should. Right now I have for the iCloud email account (on both the iPhone and the iPad) @iCloud.com as the setting that any emails from that account would be sent from and the @me.com is also turned to the "On" position on both devices. I figured that if I'm sending an email from an iCloud account it should say "@iCloud.com" after it rather than "@me.com" after it. I just did that so everthing was the same on both devices and out of personal preference. No other reason really as I don't ever use the account to email anyone and have never given either address to anyone. Only Apple has them and they sent a couple things initially and I never receive anything on that account (for the most part). Ocasionally I get something from Apple and that's a rarity. I don't know if that may factor in at all or not. It did for one gentleman. Thank you randers4!

Just bought a new imac, need to take logic off my macbook pro and install onto my imac
Just bought the new imac, and I need to get logic pro 9 off my macbook pro and onto my imac. Both my install licenses are used, so will I have to buy a new license as well. If any and all help would rock. Thanks, JASON
How did you receive Logic? Reinstall from the distribution media. You may be able to move the Logic application, but unless you know what and where the support files are it may prove difficult for it to work correctly.
I would assume you can obtain another license by calling AppleCare Customer Service unless you are moving Logic to a new computer and removing it from the other computer. In this case you do not need to purchase another license. -
Please help me out I really don't like the Mountain Lion software, the old one i had was much better and I can't seem to figure out how to get back to the one I use to have.
if you plan on doing an internet recovery install of your old os which is Lion - keep in mind that everything will be erased in your hard drive. your files are gone - unless you have made copies of them in another drive.
you will have to reinstall everything over again. if you're prepared to do that, then click on the link below to learn on how to start internet recovery since booting through your recovery partition will reinstall Mountaln Lion.
Force Lion to Start Internet Recovery.
Now, if you have a early 2011 Macbook Pro - then it came with Snow Leopard - use your install disk to reinstall. -
My Macbook Pro is set up to run Windows via bootcamp and I am trying to install Mountain Lion.

cant seem to open up word documents. I installed original disk a few months ago and was working fine up until yesterday. When i went to open up word a question mark would appear in the backround and now the WORD icon has dissapeared all together.Any way of fixing the problem?
Use Finder and search for 'Microsoft Word'. If it shows up, launch it from Finder and when it appears in Dock, right click the icon and select Options > Keep in dock.
If finder does not find Word it has somehow been deleted. -
Where can i get a tool kit to open my macbook pro and install my RAM?
thanks for to ever helps me.
OWC / MacSales sells the tools you need, as well as memory that will work.
If you did not purchase your RAM from OWC, Crucial, or Apple, don't bother opening its case. You might as well return it right now because most manufacturers don't sell memory that meets Apple's stringent specifications. -
Hi all,
Our company develops software for Windows Management in the Enterprise space, and I spend most of my time demoing the software in a VMware environment.
A while ago, someone recommended that I should look at buying a high spec MacBook Pro, and installing Windows Vista and VMware Workstation on it, as the performance will surpass the highest spec PC out there.
I currently run a Dual Core 2.33GHz Dell Precision M90, with 4Gb of RAM and a 512Mb dedicated graphics card.
Due to the Intel chipset, the hardware only sees 3Gb of the 4Gb DDR II memory available.
I spend most of my time within VMware workstation hooked up to a high spec projector (hence the decent graphics card)
Is it true?
Would a MacBook Pro be better?
Specifically, I wouldn't want to run dual boot in a Boot Camp Scenario, as the Mac OS wouldn't be required (I have no apps for this anyway)
Also, I probably wouldn't be interested in VMware Fusion at this stage, as I understand it is not as stable yet as VMware Workstation for the PC.
... it would certainly be funny to demo our Windows Management software on an Apple!!!
Your comments and advice would be much appreciated!techydude,
"Exclusivist?" No, not at all. And, I do not disagree about the potential for conversion, either.
However, I try to avoid whatever "evangelical" tendencies I might have. Sure, if someone comes here inquiring about OS X, and it seems apparent that they are looking for relief from Windows, I will wax eloquently (well, I'll wax) all day about the advantages of OS X.
I have a rather pragmatic approach, but I also have an eye for "elegance." In either mode, it doesn't make sense to me to purchase an Apple computer, only to run Windows exclusively. Thinking pragmatically, it is a no-brainer that the purchase of a PC with Windows already bundled makes more sense than a Mac which would require the additional cost of a full license for Windows (just for starters). Since neither option would present a savings or price premium, provided one is comparing similarly-configured machines, one must look at the inherent value to the end user represented by each option. If the end user has no intention of running OS X, the Mac immediately loses every bit of its advantage over a PC, value-wise.
And (as I mentioned before), purchasing a Mac just to run Windows is simply not "elegant." In the same vein, I see no reason for someone to own and drive an SUV just because they want to or can. In my book, there's no legitimate reason to burn more fuel than necessary unless one is towing a large trailer (camper, boat, etc.), and the entire concept represented by "Hummers" is abhorrent to me.
If this makes me "Exclusivist," then so be it.

Sharing folders between MacBook Pro and workgroup in windows 7
In September 2013 I was able to share folders between a MacBook Pro and 2 Windows 7 computers where all 3 computers belonged to the same workgroup.
Leelannee Cochran (at that time an Apple Level 3 support person) was satisfied with how I did it and I understood her to say that it would be "memorialized" by Apple.
I had a lightening incident where my cable modem was fried and had to be replaced. Now, I am not able to share the files in the MacBook Pro
Would someone tell me how to share files - unfortunately, I had not kept the notesThank you Team ZigZag
I have had 3 different vendors where I had to go to "higher" level support. The most recent occasion was with my router where I overheard the "supervisor" tell the 1st level tech support person "there is no way that the router will work with a workgroup.
I pleaded that it had done so before I had to replace my cable modem. Finally, I was able to share files between two windows 7 computers in the same workgroup and wrote to the manufacturer that I had done so, the reply was that they
are not responsible for 3rd party vendors!
As I mentioned, I was able to work my way to Leelannee Cochran who was a 3rd level support person at Apple, and she too was, initially, very skeptical and when I succeeded she offered to memorialize what I had done. I had to use my methods to
re-establish the MacBook on several occasions as a "sharing" member of the workgroup. I probably have lost my nerve and therefore am unable to recall exactly what I did
I found that a third vendor, despite the claim that their product would work with Mac OS the higher level support person was using me as a "resource" but my problem was that my computer kept crashing!
Trust me, frontline (1st Level) tech support are normally very competent but it is not easy to reach higher level tech support persons when their expertise runs out and are reluctant to call for higher level support!
I have had similar nightmares with support and that why I volunteer here and elsewhere. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies. I have found persistence is the key. I have, in the middle of a level 1 call where they said there was nothing
they could do and there was no supervisor aound, hung up and immediately redialed and wonder of wonder got the supervisor within 5 mins.
Good Sleuthing on your part
