I want to buy a new macbook pro 2012, can i sell my old macbook and put some more money to buy the new one???

I want to buy a new macbook pro 2012 with retina display, can i sell my old macbook and add some more money to buy the new one???
Is there any deal like this?

Apple has a rebuy and recycle program, but you won't get much for your old MBP from that program. Your best bet is to just sell it yourself (I used eBay) and use the money you get to buy your new computer.
Good luck,

Can you sell your old macbook and how to erase and reset info?

I recently upgraded to the new macbook pro and I was wondering how I can clean out my original macbook and get everything on it that was original so I can possibly sell it to recover some of the costs of my new macbook. Is this possible and/or very difficult? Does Apple frown on this? Thanks!!

Hi,
I'm in the same boat. I have an older 13" black MacBook and bought a new 13" MacBook Pro. Your outline isnt' what I experience, yet it's similar to the Apple Article at
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1820
They have the following steps:
These steps assume you have a Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later CD:
1. Insert the Mac OS X CD.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the "C" key to start up from CD.
4. When the Installer screen appears, do not click Continue. Instead, choose Installer > Open Disk Utilities.
5. Select the hard drive to erase.
6. Click the Erase tab.
7. Select the volume format from the Volume Format pop-up menu.
8. Click Options.
9. Select the checkbox for "Zero all data".
10. Click OK.
11. Click Erase
I'm not sure if I'm obtaining what I want; Zero erase then reinstall. I'm using my OS X Leopard Install Disk. I did steps 1 - 3. As I held the "C" key, I got a gray screen with the Apple logo and a spinning icon below. It did this for about 3 minutes (my "c" holding finger was getting sore )
I never got a step 4. It went straight to "Choose a Language" I did: English
I never got choices 5 to 11.
I got the screen showing the drive and asking if I want to install. I continued.
I then opened the "Options" tab. There I could erase existing OS install and then reinstall. There was never a choice for "Zero All Data."
I'm currently letting it do it's thing and it's in stalling, about 26 mins to go, already been about 20 mins.
Did I miss something, or is the "zero" option not the same for Leopard?
Much thanks,

Please Help... i lost my macbook and there are so many accounts that haven't been logged out yet. how can i block my old macbook? (block from everything)

There are so many accounts that haven't been logged out yet. how can i block my old macbook? (block from everything like it cant be used at all again)

It should be unnecessary to point out that leaving one's computer logged into anything that requires security is foolhardy. The reason there's a login process is so you will have the opportunity to log out and thereby secure your account. Failing to do so completely defeats the purpose and leaves you wide open to catastrophic consequences.

How can I connect an old macbook pro...

How can I connect an old macbook pro with that does NOT have a Thunderbolt connection to a new 27 inch iMac? I only need to do this for one specific purpose, to be able to see the work I'm doing on the laptop in InDesign on the iMac's larger screen (at a larger size as it were, so I can see a double page spread (or even a whole page would be an improvement) in one go)? I gather it might be possible to get an adaptor but note that Apple don't seem to sell one. I know I could do this with the cinema screen but would rather do it with a new imac as that will have more use to me overall. It's a work laptop which I don't own so I don't own the Indesign to just be able to use that on an iMac. I have tried to connect monitors to the laptop in the past, but with no success at all. I hope someone can help . Thank you.

Im pretty sure you are talking about the M8536 which has an ADC Adapter.
you will have to daisy chain a thunderbolt to DVI adapter with an DVI to ADC Adapter.
the first adapter:

The second adapter is old so you may find used ones on ebay like this:

I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one? Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

I had an Apple ID and password with my hotmail acct. The password stopped working, so I set up a new one with my me acct. How can I access my old acct. and merge the two of them?

How can I clone my old macbook to my new Macbook Pro 768GB SSD

Hi,
I have a 2 year old macbook and have just received my new Macbook Pro Retina dispaly with a 768gb SSD.
How can I clone my old drive to my new Macbook as the unit is sealed so I cant ge the drive out.
thanks.

Bootable clones can only be used with the same model machine as there are machine specific hardware drivers involved that are different between different models of Mac's.
Probally the fastest way would be to clone the old Mac boot drive to a external drive using Carbon Copy Cloner, then connecting it to the new Mac and booting the new Mac (first time) into Setup Assistant and then use that to "migrate" accounts and programs over. Takes a few hours.
Transfering via Wifi does take FOREVER. like several days in some cases.
If you have the new Mac already setup, then use Migration Assitant in the Utilities folder.
However Setup Assistant and Migrations are not perfect and tend to fail badly if you had problems on the older Mac, sometimes these problems are unseen and only until you try to use the new Mac afterwards do they appear.
You might want to opt instead of installing the same name account on the new Mac, installing 10.8 compatible programs from original sources and then use the external clone of the old Mac drive to transfer just user files manually into the same Pcitures, Movies, Documents etc., folders.
Since you have a SSD, you can load programs later, it's hard drives that you want to install programs before user data to run them faster.
Get a cleaner machine doing it manaully that way and you know there is nothing nsaty hidden, like what Setup Assistant and Migrations often transfer.

Downloaded latest firefox beta and it didnt work also removed all my files from old fire fox how can I retreave my old files and that they work

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions
The Firefox 4.0 beta version should have installed in a separate program folder, so your old setup should still be there. 
See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
If you do want to use the 4.0 beta version then you should create a new profile for that version.

How can I turn my old macbook into a file server

So I have an old macbook from 2007. I don't believe it can run yosemite or mavericks, so i'm stuck with lion at the moment. I wanna be able to leave it running as a server so when I go away I can access files from it. Basically I wanna use it as my own cloud server. I use this program called plex from the itunes store which works great as a media server, but I wanna make even more use of the thing. It's such a great computer still even after all these years. Is there any (preferably free) way I can accomplish this safely? I'd like to be able to have some sort of authentication too so no one else can get into the server without a passcode or something.

You may also wish to check into the availability of a Server version of Lion OS X 10.7.5
or if the computer you have shipped with Snow Leopard 10.6, there should be one still
available from the Apple store or online main store's operating system specialists...
You'd need to check on availability or ask to talk to someone about it. The main Apple
page store phone number should be able to direct you to an OS Specialist.
The Snow Leopard version was better for some users with old hardware since it was
available on DVDs and so a Server setup could be maintained or backups made
ahead of need (extra backup clones or replacement pre-installed or RAID array) to
continue use of a computer 24/7 as a Server. As such, the setup would be different
than with a basic computer sharing files locally; a wireless Time Capsule or other
wi-fi network may be utilized to share an internet connection and files between a
group of authorized computers or supported devices. An older OS X may not be able
to support newer iDevices, so the specifications of those may need to be checked into.
For some, the use of a Mini Mac that can be set up without a display as a server, once
it is running, is a minimalist situation. There should be several archives of Support info
on how to do all of these kinds of things in the Apple Support online database.
The suggestion above is a good start on a feel of basic settings to configure a shared
server; the actual software version for Servers covers more to a higher level of use.
And it may not be necessary for a home network.
Good luck & happy computing!

TS1363 How can i update my old ipod and add my new one.

I have had an older ipod nano and i just recently got a new one. How can i add my new ipod nano to my current itunes account or do i have to have a whole new one? If i do have to have a new account how can i get my songs that i have already purchased to the new nano? I am so confused.

Connect the iPod nano to the computer the exact same way you set up the old one. You don't need to create another Apple ID, iTunes Store account, or iTunes library.

How can i reinstall my old computer and install photshop on my newcomputer?

I Have a new computer and i want to re-install Photoshop on my old computer so i can install it on my new computer. How can i do that?
i have an account for Photoshop and Lightroom 2014,
robert

From what I have read and understanding your question. You need to deactivate PS on your old computer and then you can re-install on your new computer. The deactivate button is on the HELP column when photoshop is open. Side note, I think you can have two programs active, meaning you you can have photoshop on two computers at once. Only can use one at a time. Hope this maybe helpful..

How can I unregister an old number and stop using it when I imessage or use Facetime?

Hello!
I just got a new iPhone and an old number appeared on the list of addresses that can be used while on iMessage or Facetime. How can i unregister it?
Thanks for the help!

Hi there WebTee,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.

My motherboard died but the hardrive is still good. How can I get my old bookmarks and copy them to my new computer?

My old Gateway laptop died (about 2 years old)but the harddrive is still good. I was able to retrieve all my old info EXCEPT I can't figure how to get to my old bookmarks file so I can copy them into my new computer. I believe. I have tried several forums, but the instructions don't give me the results I need. I am running my old drive with a USB adapter so I can see all my files, but can't get to/find the bookmark file.

How can I back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account without losing any data?

Hello
Before Mountain Lion comes out I want to create a new iCloud account because I don't want to use the @me.com email that I created with my current iCloud account. I want to create an entirely new account with a new @me.com email address. I use iCloud to back up my iPhone, iPod and am signed into it on my mac. Basically I want to back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account and not lose any data. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks so much for any help.

Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
Then back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to the new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.
