How to get my apple I'd off a macbook pro with having to giv my I'd and password away

I had sold my macbook pro to someone and they say they can't update the computer without my I'd, the problem I am confused about Is when ii gave him the computer I already restore the computer to not need my apple I'd, is there anything he can do without me needed to give h my Id anddd password so he can update

When you sell a MacBook Pro, you need to give them the original OS that was installed on it when it shipped from Apple.  Any upgrades you purchased from teh Mac App Store (even the free "purchase" of Mavericks) is tied to your Apple ID.    You would need to restore the Mac to the original OS, then let the buyer upgrade the OS themselves.

    What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization.  With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options.  If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast.  I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
    What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why?  How is this making it a better program?  I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was).  But to not give users the option to delete that list?  It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating.  I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature.  It smacks of rank incompetence.
    What improvement were they trying to make here anyway?  There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions.  Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
    And reverting to a previous version is no solution.  I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

  • How can I disable the internal display on my MacBook Pro with connected external display?

    I used this metod with the MagSafe power cable connected (see http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/15/yet-another-way-to-turn-off-internal-lcd-display- of-macbook-pro-with-lid-open/).
    Open System Preferences and click “Mission Control”, then click on “Hot Corners”
    Select a hot corner and pull down the menu to select “Put Display to Sleep”
    Now connect the external display to the Mac and move the cursor to the newly created sleep corner to turn off the internal display
    Close the MacBook lid and wait a few seconds before opening the lid again, the internal display should stay off while the external display will be powered on
    This worked great under Mac OS X 10.7.4, but after the last update to 10.7.5 it doesn’t work more. The built-in display turns off really, but a few seconds after opening the lid it lights up again. Do you have any suggestions? Dimming the brightness or clamshell mode is not very useful.

    Thanks!

    I have the same problem: not able to work with my external display mirroring the internal one - while shutting the internal display off.
    I believe there is an issue with Mac OS X Lion 7.5 that Apple needs to solve, since apparently it does not happen with this version of the OS only...

    Or any other way to solve it?

  • How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?

    How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?
    Alternatively how do I connect an audio input at a level that would normally have gone into a 'line input' socket ?

    Plug it into the linein/headphone jack if there's just one.  It'll switch between the two modes automatically depending on what you plug into it.

  • HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
    If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

  • How can I tell the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display and the old MacBook Pro with retina display by looking

    I'm just wondering the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display which was just released in October 2013 and the old MacBook Pro with retina display.

    Thank you for the reply! As you said they looked exactly the same, so I'm not able to tell the differences just by looking, right? I'm thinking to buy a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display, but I'm not buying the MacBook in Apple Store, I'm buying it in other shops, how can know whether they are not selling me the old model of MacBook Pro with retina display?

    Question : My father recently bought me a new Headset. It's a great Headset with good quality(I GUESS) and a microphone which is what I need.(SORRY IF THIS OFFENDED YOU) Anyway, I was disappointed when I noticed there was a microphone input/wire, there wasn't any microphone jack for it on the computer/laptop. It would be a waste of money if I would have to switch inputs/outputs. Is there a possible way to use the headphones and the microphone simultaneously? Please help, I've been wanting a Headset with a microphone and I finally received one and this occured. Please help. I don't want to purchase any external thing for the microphone jack, if I do, Apple should re-design the MacBook Pro, sorry, though. I don't think the Apple earphones or Ear pods came along with this computer/laptop, so, why only one jack for the headphones? Anyway, sorry for any offensive feedback or sayings. Thank you, though.

    Use a usb port and usb adapter. There is no mic in on Mackbook Pros. Return the headset for a uisb headset with mic.

  • Apple care protection plan for macbook pro with retina display

    hi!!! i recently purchased macbook pro with retina display. Im curious about the apple care protection plan to extend the warranty of my macbook. I would just like to ask if the apple care protection plan includes battery replacement w/in  the next 2 yrs?

    it is like car insurance. You purchase it hoping to never need it. But thank your lucky stars for having it after the sheet metal goes CRUNCH!
    BTW, AC needs to be activated while the base warranty is in effect. This means you can wait till the last month or so and avoid having to plonk all the cash up front.

  • How to get win7 installed on optibay HDD on macbook pro

    Hi all,
    so I am in a bit of a pickle
    I recently bought a new 15" MPB with an apple installed 128gb SSD drive.
    My plan was to install a 2nd hard drive in the DVD spot, a 500gb with a 70ish GB win7 partition. I would like to use Win 7 for screencasting for windows tutorials and for Gaming...mostly for gaming
    I thought, naively, that this would be a simple boot agent setup...boy was I wrong.
    I have already installed the 500gb drive in the optibay, it is working fine
    I did not realize that a macbook pro cannot boot to an external drive or dvd. I could be wrong here but all my research seems to indicate that it can't...using something like refit does not fix this problem
    I tried going through the boot camp setup with my external dvd drive attached through USB...did not work
    also tried a USB thumb drive...no dice
    sooo
    any ideas on how to get a win7 install on my 2nd drive?
    I'd like to avoid having win7 on my 128gb ssd as there is limited space
    can I install win7 on the drive on an actual windows machine and then transfer it to the macbook?
    could I install the win7 partition to my ssd boot drive and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the partition to the 500gb?
    its actually kind of an interesting problem...but I'm stumped
    any and all help appreciated.

    I'm sure someone else who knows about this will pitch in. Although my monitor is HP 23 inch  and has both VGA and HDMI and have no issues. I don't have the miniport to VGA connector so I can't test it out with the VGA. Sorry for my inconvenience.

  • How to get @ sign in MS Word/Outlook on MacBook Pro in Windows?

    I've been looking everywhere I can think of for a solution to this, so any help would be hugely appreciated.
    I've just converted to using Mac (finally!) with a new MacBook Pro, but still forced to use Windows XP for some tasks, and I have a really annoying problem with a keyboard shortcut.
    I finally disocvered that in Windows you must use CtrlAlt2 to get the @ sign, but for some reason this works everywhere EXCEPT in Word and Outlook. This has the really annoying side effect that you can't really type in an email address in Outlook, as you're lacking the @ sign. I'm getting tired of copying and pasting via Notepad ... Does anyone have a solution to this!?
    Also, what's up with the / |§ keys swapping places in Windows? Unlike the @ sign, they are actually in the same place on the keyboard, so there shouldn't be any reason to change that.
    Thanks in advance!

  • How to get install disk for lion on 2012 macbook pro

    How do i get a reinstall disk for drivers and lion as well as ilife so i can install a new ssd drive in my computer

    As Niel said, you have to install OS X through OS X Recovery. Respecting to iLife, if your Mac came with DVDs, you should have it on the Applications DVD that came with the Mac, and if it didn't come with DVDs, open App Store > Purchases, and install iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand.
    Then, if you want, you can download OS X from the App Store instead of using Recovery, so you can burn the installer onto a DVD or USB drive with Lion Diskmaker, so you won't have to redownload OS X each time you want to reinstall. As you have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, it will only work if it came with OS X Lion and you upgraded to Mountain Lion

  • How to get pop up reminders to work on macbook pro running lion

    I presently have all of my devices, ipod, iphone and macbook pro syncing beautifully in icloud with one exception.  If I create a reminder it will pop up on my ipad and iphone, but not my macbook.  Sometimes I am at the macbook and want to see that popup from reminders.  I love that I can create it on my ipad and it shows up on my macbook in ical, but I don't get the same alert I will get on my ipad or iphone. I am just scatterbrained enough that those pop-ups are very helpful.  I have been in system prefs and ical prefs but not finding anything for this.  Help is appreciated

    Start up from that Mac OS X 10.4 disc you have.  Insert disc in optical drive and start up with the C key held down.  On the first Installer screen, from the menu bar, under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility.
    In Disk Utility, select your startup volume (usually "Macintosh HD") in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab.  Run Verify Disk.  If it reports a problem, that may be the reason for your long-term difficulties. You hard drive volume has data corruption. 
    You can try Repair Disk in Disk Utility.  However, it would be a very good idea to have a backup of the data on that disk, in case the attempt to repair makes the problem worse.
