How do I get my New Macbook pro to sync with .mac account????

I just purchased a new Macbook Pro to replace my Ibook G4 which had been successfully syncing on my .mac account with my Imac G5 desktop computer.
The new Macbook Pro has Leopard while my G5 has Tiger. The salesperson told me that this would NOT be a problem at all. I configured the Ical to sync automatically in the preferences along with contacts and mail accounts. They both worked fine but the ICal does not sync.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I did, several times. What finally happened is after about 18 hours, the syncing started to work. I think what happened was that the mac server must take some time for backing up or whatever and all of a sudden when it did, it synced....
go figure.

New MacBook Pro cannot sync with 1st gen Apple TV

Hello,
just bought a new MacBook Pro and have linked it to my 1st generation Apple TV (160GB) but it will not sync.
I keep getting this error message (something about firewall blocking port 3689) but I don't have the firewall on. The support on the apple website doesn't really offer any other resolutions apart from changing the firewall to allow the connection but mine is already deactivated anyway.
Help !

Same problem here. Update hasn't helped. Both iPhone and iPad quite happily continue to remote control AppleTV. iTunes even allows airstreaming to the AppleTV. However it NEVER appears as a device in iTunes, whether or not I use the iPhone/iPad plugged in trick. Nor have recent updates helped.
AppleTV used to work fine with previous macbook from which I transferred all user info etc). I know Apple wants us to think of such devices as "stream targets" but I prefer to have the music collection on the AppleTV. Very frustrating waste of time that it doesn't work as it should.

Can I get a new macbook pro under the warranty?

Its been two months since I got my macbook pro. I got the newer 2011 version. Less than a month into getting it my keys started falling off and less than 2 months later my hard drive went out for no reason and I had to get it replaced. And now my other keys are all falling off too. I don't understand. I feel like I was sold a refurbished mac because everything keeps breaking. Do you think its better to just get a new macbook pro? Is that even possible? I also feel like it takes a while to turn on than when I first got it. How long is the normal start up time?

If you have had this Mac for less then a year then the computer is still under warranty.

It depends. If you have applications set to launch when you startup the Mac, that can slow down the amount of time it takes to boot your Mac.
Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab.

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.

Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.

After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.

Getting a new Macbook Pro

I am getting a new Macbook Pro and I don't know which one to get. I will either get the high-end 13" or the low-end 15". I am a high school student that will be running Photoshop Elements, Microsoft Office, and heavy Internet browsing, such as building a website using online building software. I will be doing a lot of graphic design as well. My main concern is will I suffer from portibility with the 15" or suffering from not getting the quad core processor with the 13". Which should I get?

If you will be doing graphic design I would say get the 15 inch. Like you said it has a quad core processor and it has dedicated video processor/ram

Getting a new MacBook Pro, Upgrade to Logic Studio 9?

Hey all. I'm getting a new Macbook Pro soon, and I was thinking of upgrading to Logic Studio 9. I own a legit retail edition copy of the previous Logic Studio (Pro 8), and I was thinking of just installing 9 on my new computer.
What things will I need to do this upgrade? I still have the original box, with the manuals. Including the one booklet that has the serial number stickers on it.
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answers guys. It was running in my mind, especially this is the first time I'm doing a program upgrade like this. Thanks alot!

Getting a new Macbook Pro, accidentally deleted songs off computer...

I accidentally deleted my songs off of my computer, and now I'm afraid if I sync my iPhone to this one it will loose all of its music. I am getting a new Macbook Pro soon (ordered it, hasn't been delivered yet...) so what do I do??

I need an answer please!!

Getting a new MacBook Pro: HDD or SSD question

Hey everyone!
I'm about to get a new MacBook Pro, and there'sone problem I need a little help solving.
I could either get a 500gb 7200rpm HDD at noextra charge, OR I could get a 128gb SSD for an additional $90. I'm slightlyleaning towards the SSD for the general reasons you've all probably heard aboutby now.
Now let me just explain my reasoning here a bit. Ishould say beforehand that I already plan on getting a 1TB external USB drive,regardless of which internal drive I get. So space isn't really the issue.
From what I understand, if I were to buy the MBPwith the 500gb HDD and just buy an SSD separately, that would total me around$220 (the price of a 128gb SSD nowadays). However, if I were to buy the laptopwith the SSD and then buy a 500 gb HDD at 7200 rpm, it would cost me $90 + $70= $160. So I'd be saving money by buying the SSD with the MBP it seems, noteven counting the fact that I could sell the SSD for a higher price than what Iactually bought it for!
I know it sounds like I might already have myanswers, but I basically have three questions:
1) Does that argument make sense to you? As in,is there anything I'm missing or not considering?
2) Does anyone know what brand of SSD Apple shipsin MBP nowadays?
3) I was planning on using my SSD for theOS/applications, and using the 1TB HDD for files/music/movies etc. Is that anideal setup or is there something I'm missing about that as well?
I'd appreciate any helpful answers. Thanks!

1 - Everyone has their own way of looking at it...
2 - Toshiba but it can always change...
3 - seems ok, iTunes might not really like to have all the files in an external drive but it seems ok...
P.s.- 1TB will not be enough... LOL... try something bigger like a 3TB drive (think future friendly)

I cannot get my new macbook pro running off my home wifi? HELP

I have my Mac desktop running off a dlink (Time Warner Cable) AirPort - BUT I cannot get my new macbook pro to even find this AirPort. It also wont connect as a wifi network. Everytime I try and enter the password it comes back with a connection timeout. What can I do to get macbook to recongnize my AirPort Base Station.

If I open up the AirPort App - it only says that it cannot find my AirPort wireless device (probably because I dont have one) and then if I go to networks to connect to my wifi I select my home network and it ask me to input a password (as it should) but when I try to put in my password for my network it says "connection timeout" and the screen behind it (where the options for wifi or ethernet ext are) it says no ip address under wifi (also the status indicator is showing yellow - since my wifi is on just not connected to a network. I cannot seem to find any place to input my information for my specific router. Although I can connect to neighboring wifi routers just fine.
