  • How do I download Windows 7 into my new MacBook Pro

    How do I install windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro?

    I won't speak to how to obtain Windows 7, which you'll need to purchase or you must have a Key that you've purchased or own. 
    You have two choices to use Windows 7.  First, are the virtual Windows emulator, using Parallels or Fusion (I think those are the only 2 but there might be others).  I never liked them much (nor do I like Windows, but sometimes you've got to use them).  They are slow and memory hogs, so you need a ton of memory to use them (8GB good, 16GB better).  But you can use Windows and easily move over to OSX because Windows is in an OSX window.  Easy. 
    We're not going to tell you how to install Windows 7 with those emulators, there are forums for them at the company website.  It's not easy, but it's not terribly difficult.
    VMware Fusion: Run Windows on Mac for Desktop Virtualization
    Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac
    Your other choice, which is better and free, is Boot Camp.  Boot Camp runs Windows natively, no emulator.  But, you don't have access to Mac OSX unless you log out of Boot Camp.  Again, this isn't the place to learn about it, go to the Boot Camp forum for more details.

    How can I activate Creative Suite on my new macbook pro... they weren't deactivated on my old computer which is in for repair and will be restored to factory settings?  Thanks.

  • How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

    How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
    Thanks

    If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

    How do I upload my music onto my new MacBook Pro from a LaCie external hardrive?

  • How do I transfer my data to my new macbook pro using an external hard drive?

    I've already set up my new MacBook Pro is my issue. It asked me if I'd like to "Migrate" my stuff or use an external hard drive etc but at the time I didn't transfer my data from my old MacBook yet. I was going to manually do it later as I had to wait for my External hard drive to back my old Mac up. Now it's that time and I have no idea how to do it. I believe I've researched best of my ability.
    I feel like I'm asking a pretty dumb question. If I were to just drag all my programs out like my Adobe Suite on to my new macbook pro would that work? I feel like that's just too easy and incorrect. Please and thank you.

    The Adobe suite can be downloaded free, you dont have to copy it at all, under standard CS6 Adobe rules, if you own the suite, you get 2 computers "activated at any one time"  Make sure, if youre not using the older computer, you deactivate the software under the HELP menu in Adobe.
    format the new drive in disk utility ......APPLICATIONS.....UTILITIES.....DISK UTILITIES.......select the external drive and format (if its new and empty!!!) under the ERASE button with Mac OSX extended journaled
    copy all your important stuff from older computer , pics, files, documents, personal anything.
    most of you apps, i ASSUME you bought in the (other than Adobe software, or Office suite, etc etc,..... obviously) in the MAC APP store, so you can reload them on the new computer without copying them , makes things very easy......just open APP STORE, and download what you already bought.
    really the only important things , is copy all important work files, documents, pictures, personal ABC...XYZ......  obviously.
    the migration is about emails, contacts, etc etc etc, also data, just because you passed it by at the time doesnt mean you still cant do it,    go to the SEARCH at menu at top and type in MIGRATION ASSISTANT  to do it again , since you passed it by at first .
    the only thing you NEED / SHOULD copy is all your personal stuff........Applications need to be reinstall from either ONLINE download,.......or from the MAC APP STORE,........  you cant just copy the apps over (in most cases) and toss them onto the new computer
    Nahh, there are no dumb questions, just dumb mistakes because you DIDNT ask any questions, and we all make those here and there. 

  • HT1414 having bought a new MacBook, I wanted to Sync my iPhone4 to it, but it insists the only method to do so is to "Erase and Sync" or "Cancel" which leaves no option to just use iTunes on the new MacBook Pro - how annoying is that???

    I have had the iphone4 for 2 years now and I bought a new MacBook Pro, opened iTunes and it knew I already had other machines with iTunes sync'ed with it but it still insisted on offering one option or sync'ing with new MacBook - "Erase and Sync", which means deleting EVERYTHING on the iphone. What if I want my iPhone to dictate and get iTunes on the Macbook to match up with the iPhone??? Or at least get iTunes to relate to what my iTunes account obviously has on it and update that way. Come on Apple, as per usual, very pretty but not very practical!!!

    You can only sync everything with your one syncing computer/iTunes library. Yu can:
    - Make this your syncing computer by:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    - Use the manual method to copy music and videos from any computer/iTunes library to the iPod. See the manual method included here:

  • How do i sync my iphone to my new Macbook pro?

    I recently just purchased a new Macbook Pro and i'd like to be able to sync my iphone to it and use it as my main computer.  Whenever i try to sync it though it says that it has to erase all my content.  This wouldnt be a problem since i backed up my phone on the Macbook and i did Home sharing from my other computer, so all my music, movies, and apps are on my Mac, but im worried its going to mess up all my data on my iphone.  Is it going to erase my contacts, calander events, text conversations, settings, pics, and/or saved data on apps?  If someone could tell me everything that happens when i click erase all data, as well as a possible alternative way of syncing my iphone, i would be very thankful.

    Follow this article How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    In short: Disable autosync, set up at least one contact and event on your Mac, back up manually, tranfer your purchases, sync and let it get erased, restore from the manual backup you made.

    I just got my new MacBook Pro and I am learning some of the features it has to offer but I have not figured out how to transfer music files from my iPad3 to the new laptop. Is there a way to do that or am I out of luck?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How to export my mailboxes from Imac to new Macbook Pro?

    I am getting a new Macbook Pro 13" today (not sure if it will ship with Snow Leopard). How can I just move all of my mailbox contents, and maybe bookmarks from Safari and other account information over from my Imac Time Machine backup. A few months ago I used my Time Machine from the Imac to move everything over to the new portable, including PHotos and all documents, etc. Is there a way of picking and choosing during setup assistance just a few things.
    The other option is whether I can simply export the contents of my mailbox into a file--two accounts--over to the new computer? Can I do the same with the contents of Iphoto and ITunes?
    Thanks

    See the following:
    Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
    From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
