How can I add my MBP late 2008 to my support profile without purchase date?

Hello everyone, I found out that it is possible to add your Apple products to your support profile.
Unfortunately, after six years of use of my MBP I don't know the date of purchase anymore, which is necessary to add a MBP to your support profile.
Any suggestions?

Well, that profile is really only necessary if your product is still covered by a warranty. If it is out of warranty, there isn't a requirement and you would need to pay for any phone support or repair options, so personally I wouldn't bother any longer. As far as I know, there is no way around the purchase date - Apple expects you to register the product right at/after purchase and needs the date for the warranty coverage.

  • Elements 11 vs 13: how can I add a new place tag to my PSE13 database without using the wretched and totally inadequate map technology  that Elements 13 wants to impose.

    HI,
    I have recently installed Elements 13 having used Elements 11.0 successfully to build a database of 30,000 plus images indexed by place, people, and photo date. Elements 11 allowed me to add new places which are meaningful to me but which are a complete mystery to the mapping technology of Elements 13. For example some years ago I lived in London in a road called Argyle Road. In elements 11 I could enter the place tag as Argyle Road. In Elements 13 I am required to locate Argyle Road on the map, but the map presupposes that the Argyle Road I am referring to is in Ealing in West London. It is not!
      I now live in a place called Broadsands but the Elements 13 Map places this 0.5 miles away from what I would describe as Broadsands.
      So the question: how can I add a new place tag to my database without using the wretched and totally inadequate map technology  that Elements 13 wants to impose.

    Thank you for your quick response, BalusC. I really appreciate your answer.
    Yes, you are right. If I manually code the same amount of those components in the JSF pages instead of generating them dynamically, the server will still run out of memory. That is to say, JSF pages might not accommodate a great deal of concurrent visiting. If I upgrade the server to just allow 1,000 teachers making their own test papers at the same time, but when over 2,000 students take the same questionnaire simultaneously, the server will need another upgrading. So I have to do what you have told me, using JS+DOM instead of upgrading the server endlessly.

  • How can i add the Sigma 10mm 2.8 Fisheye lens profile from the camera profile in windows to lightroom 5?

    It only seems to give me a 15mm fisheye option for Sigma and not the 10mm even though it is a profile in the camera profiles folder.
    Can anyone help with importing this profile into Lightroom?

    Just so it is black and white for my sake. I am shooting with a Nikon D7100 using a Sigma Fisheye 10mm 2.8 and using the Lens Profile of the Sigma 15mm 2.8mm on Lightroom.
    Then the correct profile to use is the Sigma 10mm F2.8 if you want proper Vignetting correction and matching Distortion correction, but you'll need to shoot camera raw images (i.e. no JPEG lens profile). This is also why you are only seeing partial correction. As I said, "With a crop factor camera only the central crop area of the full-frame Sigma 15mm lens profile will be applied."
    That said there is absolutely nothing wrong with using the Sigma 15mm lens profile with your crop factor Nikon D7100 if you are happy with the partial correction results, but you can also do this using the correct Sigma 10mm lens profile (set less than 100). There is a fisheye correction plugin called Fisheye-Hemi that works very similar in that it only applies partial correction. You're getting about the same results as Fisheye-Hemi for free using partial correction with the LR lens profile tool. That should make you happy! I suggest experimenting with both the 15mm and 10mm lens profiles and start shooting camera raw image files. Your're not realizing the camera's full capability shooting JPEGs!
    In the DSC_7098 images posted none of them look very sharp (slow shutter speed?). Other than geometric correction I can't judge the posted images for "sharpness" in the corrected areas, which is the major concern. The biggest issue with rectilinear correction of fisheye images is loss of detail in areas with the most correction (edges and corners).  If that were not the case people would use fisheye lenses for ALL wide-angle images and simply correct them inside LR. Sadly that's not the case and using LR's Lens Profile Distortion and other transform tools to correct fisheye images considerably softens the corrected areas (sides and corners).
    Fisheye geometric distortion with some subjects is almost undetectable. So how much correction you need will vary by subject type and what the end use for the image. Any fisheye image that has correction applied will lose sharpness in the corrected areas, which may be fine for most purposes other than large prints.So it's best not to strive for 100% rectilinear correction–Just the correction needed to make the image look better.
    Canon 8-15mm F4L FE on 5D MKII Full-Frame @ 15mm (No correction)
    Looks good to me with no correction!
    For more flexibility and better results PS's Wide Angle Adaptive filter and content aware fill tools will retain more image detail in the corrected areas. Here's the same lens and camera with an image processed in PS:
    15mm Full-Frame Fisheye
                          LR Distortion = 50 (partial)                PS Adaptive Wide Angle Filter + Content Aware Fill
    The corner image detail is about the same in both of the above images at 1:1 view. Partial LR Distortion correction is good!
    So what happens if I apply 100 Distortion correction to the image inside LR?
    1:1 Compare View (lower-left) with LR Distortion = 100
    100% LR Distortion correction of fisheye images is NOT good IMHO!

  • How can I convert a Numbers '08 spreadsheet to Numbers 3.0 without purchasing Numbers '09?

    I have a spreadsheet that I created in '08 when I purchased my first Macbook Pro.  I'm a truck driver and through the forum, individuals help me create a spreadsheet that I use for calculating pay.  My previous MB is down and out.  Just had barely enough energy on my battery that won't hold a charge to power up and save the spreadsheet to a thumb drive to move over onto my NEW MB.  Numbers will not open it stating the spreadsheet is to old.  Is there any way I can get the old spreadsheet saved to a newer version of numbers without purchasing Numbers '09.  I just bought a NEW MB YESTERDAY!!!  Now I have to fork out more money for an app that I have, but, don't have...  I didn't have issues of this sort with Microsoft, thus I would have not even considered an issue like this with Apple...  SMH

    El,
    I've not heard of this problem. This is what Wayne just did fort you, and I've done it for others. It is important to run Software Update immediately after installing iWork '09 from disk, even before launching the program because Mavericks won't run it without the updates. If I were you, I'd get iWork '09 even if I had to buy it because it's the more capable version of the app.

  • How can I add news articles to website and dynamically update headlines without MySQL?

    Hi guys,
    I update a number of website for athletes with news articles...
    I'm doing it manually at the moment so I have to update:
        1. news.php (with date and article title which links to the article)
        2. News Article (with title, date and article text)
        3. includes/latestNews.php (an include latest 3-4 article dates and headline which links to the article - displays on every page via include)
    The News Article is a plain and simple PHP file which is stored in a folder 'assets/news/' and the file is named according to date i.e. a news article today would be 130420 (as in 2013 year, 04 month, 20 day) so they sit in chronological order in the 'news' folder. There is a template page file called viewArticle.php which drags in the appropriate news article by link i.e. viewArticle.php?id=130420
    At the moment, I have to update news.php, latestNews.php and the individual article individually and manually.
    What I would like to do is...
    ...create, edit and add the News Article file (130420) to the 'news' foler as I am currently doing. But, with PHP, set news.php and latestNews.php to read the files in the 'assets/news/' folder to display the latest 4 article dates and linked headlines (for latestNews.php) and display all the dates and linked headlines (for news.php).
    I don't know anything about databases and can't get my head around them so I would rather do it with PHP code. Is this possible?
    Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

  • How can i add a transition to video when using pinned audio without loosing sync

    Everytime i try to add a transition to my video after adding audio from an external source the audio becomes unsync,( it doesn't matter if i pinn the audio or not) any solutions or worked around?
    I'm using Imovie 11.

    Try this...
    Click EDIT/TRANSITION OVERLAP/HALF. This will maintain project duration.
    Normal transitions take half the frames they need from each adjacent clip.
    If you choose HALF, it will take the frames needed for the transitions from the unused portion of your event clips. For this to work correctly, you will need to have unused frames available in each clip. If your project clip uses the frames all the way to the beginning or end of the event clip, there would be no frames to borrow. You also need to make sure that there is no embarassing footage in the unused frames that will be now used in the transitions.  If you carefully edited out Aunt Judy picking her nose, these frames of Aunt Judy may show up in the transition, if they are adjacent to a project clip with a transition.
    There are good diagrams explaining this in iMovie/Help.

  • How can I add the new AP license to HA 5508 WLC?

    Hi,
    My customer has two 5508 WLC in HA mode and these devices have 250 AP license. Customer bought 50 AP and 50 AP license. But I could not add the license to WLC! When I check the Management>Software Activation> tab there are only two options under the tab these are "Licenses" "License Usage". There is no "Command" option in there. Also I tried add on CLI but this error log appeared " !!!! Blocked: Changing License configurations on Secondary unit is blocked !!!! " 
    I think this is possible when disable the HA but is there anybody know this how can I add the new 50 AP license to HA WLC without disable the HA?
    Thanks,
    Burhan

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply. 
    Yes I know the controllers synchronize with the enabled license and the 250 AP license bundled with two device there is no problem.
    I want to add new 50 AP license in addition 250 AP license. Because customer has 300 AP's.
    As I said, When I check the Management>Software Activation> tab there are only two options under the tab these are "Licenses" "License Usage". There is no "Command" option in there.

    That does not work on model year older then 2010 and really doesn't work on any older then late 2011 models.
    You will need a set of original system dvd disc thjat are always sypplied with every mac sold before Lion came out. Systems older then late release early 2011 models.
    If you don't have them you kcan order a replacement set from apple by calling them. Have the serial number of you mac handy.

  • EFI-Update MBP Late 2008

    Hi everybody,
    I'm experiencing problems with the EFI-Update for MBP, late 2008. It does not work at all, I've retried this several times and my Laptop just gets a grey Background, the bar at the top stays, I can move the mouse and click on the "apple" - but that's it.
    To get my Laptop back to life I had to hold the powerbutton and restart. The same happens now when I just want to shutdown my Laptop, grey background etc.
    Does anybody else experience the same? How will this be fixed?
    Thanks,
    Wayne

    Ok.. I figured it out! Last night I made many discoveries about my MacBook pro 15" late 2008 model. First off I thought the sucker died with the 3 bad tone beeps. However this turned out to be a bad memory dimm (modual) which I learned on another thread. By proccess of elmination I figured out which dim this was. So this more than likley than anything else has to do with my Kernel panics in the past (Not Lion and Not EFI).
    Secondly I looked around more threads because I was supiscous the EFi update was failing because I had my setup with a Master Boot Record partitioning scheme. As it turns out the EFI updates can only be applied if you have a GPT partitioning scheme. Therefore I had to erase / format and lose my Windows partition just for an update (This is not ideal at all).
    So first I backed up to TimeMachine then I erased and then reloaded LION on the newley formated GPT drive via TimeMachine. Once back up I applied the EFI 2.8 Firmware update and it installed perfectly.
    This definatley needs to be documented better than having to search discussions thread. Secondly the only reason I was using MBR in the first place was because it was difficult to setup the Windows 7 install on the GPT partition. One Windows 7 doesnt like and 2 Mac OSX with disk util can easily mess it up. If you make any change renaming drives... anything in Windows 7 on in Computer Management / Disk management you will hose your Windows machine. This is because the pointer to the Windows 7 OS gets lost in the GPT as it gets modified incorrectly.
    So in my mind Apple is poorly supporting dual booting (Boot Camp). This is unsat as it was originally heavily advertised with bootcamp.
    Oh well I guess I will hit virtual box and get more memory via this new EFI update.
