How To Transfer Ownership of Almost New Macbook?

This guy is selling a macbook pro that he bought online at the apple store in December 2012. Its a core i7 2.6ghz 16gb ddr3, 256gb SSD and 1gb nVidia 650m card.
He says I can upgrade the SSD if i want to. Also he says the warranty is good until one year from December so he says I have until December 2013 is this true? If he prints the receipt off for me (which he said he would) it has his name and address on it.
I want to write this off for business purposes. How do I get the transfer into my name? If i need to take it to the genius bar I want it to be in my name.
Thanks

we are going in circles... because you keep tying registration and ownership as one...
you: call apple to have your name and address registered to the MacBook. warranty follows the MacBook for how ever long. they will fix parts, replace parts, at apple store or by mail as you will be the main contact from then on
to get money back for what ever reason
original purchaser: contacts apple and documents that he is transferring ownership to you. he will need to supply apple with proof of purchase, personal info, etc and that he is "transferring" it to you (more or less) as you will then be the new owner...

How to transfer data to a new MacBook Pro?

My wife has a 12" Power PC G4.
Running OS 10.5.8.
She is receiving a brand new MacBook Pro today from Apple.
How do we transfer all her "everything" from the G4 to the new computer?
Thx,
Steve

Avoid the "Transfer from another Mac" when you set the machine up.
If you don't have or want to set up the networking for the Internet when settingup the machine, just click the "Other Network" button until you get the "I don't have a nework" option.
Unless you want your name all over the computer and viewable to everyone on a network, I would avoid the registration screen (you can do it at Apple.com) and use a nickname in the setup.
Since the G4 PPC machine is rather old and the processor is differnet, you don't want to use "Transfer to my Mac" feature. Can't use the PPC programs on the new Intel Mac's.
Place files from the G4 onto a USB thumb drive and transfer them manually to the new machine.
If you need a Office Suit product, LibreOffice is free and cross platform, Linux, OS X and Windows, reads/writes Office files and makes PDF's too.

How to transfer iphone content to new Macbook

I've just replaced my PC laptop with a Macbook and I'd like to know how to transfer my iphone content to the Macbook. I've read various help pages and posts and I'm totally confused about the conflicting information.
I understand that the iphone is designed to be used with only one computer, but getting it to the new computer is the challenge. I have thousands of songs, hundreds of photos, 150+ contacts and 13 apps (some of which I rely on heavily). As well as notes which I was never able to synchronise previously, so they only exist on the iphone.
Most of the songs were loaded from my CD collection and it took weeks to rate and categorise them, which I would prefer to avoid doing again. I suppose I could export as data CDs but it's still a lot of disks and time. Most of the photos were taken by camera (not iphone) which again I could transfer via data CD.
If I've understood things correctly, the authorise/deauthorise option in iTunes refers to items purchased via itunes only? And the iphone backup only backs up settings, rather than content? Would an external hard drive help (I don't yet have one)?? I'd appreciate your thoughts for a simple-ish, not to time consuming solution.
Thanks in advance,
Alison

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you replaced your computer, your phone, sees your computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

How to transfer itunes account to new macbook and ipad

I have an itunes account which is linked with my iphone.. I have recently gotten a new macbook and ipad. Is it possible to transfer from my current account to these new devices? I do not have my old macbook which the itunes account originated from, only my iphone. Do I have to create a new account? Everytime I go to backup my iphone it says it will wipe out what is on it!!! I have hundreds of songs, videos,apps etc etc etc.
Thanks

1) authorize iTunes on your new Mac for your iTunes store account (the one you used to purchase from the iTunes store)
2) connect your iPhone and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it (as well as you iPad).

How to transfer iWeb application to new MacBook

Hi
I am getting the MacBook Pro this week and would like to know how I could transfer the iWeb application and all my sites across (from my current MacBook), as the new iLife does not come with iWeb.
Cheers,
Mike

If you old Mac came with installation CD's, then install iWeb using these or if you want to transfer things, then hook the two machines up with a firewire cable and tranfer - it will ask you if you want to do this when you first set up your new Mac anyway.

In that case... Install it on your New Mac using the Disc(s) and have all your Serial Numbers handy in case you are asked for them during the Install.
After the successful install... run Software Update to get any and all Updates... Then Restart your Mac and you should be good to go.
PS:
Make sure your MBPr is connected to the Mains for this Long process...

How to transfer files from imac to macbook air

I recently received my macbook air and I was trying to transfer iWork to my new macbook.
Typically, I have no problems in the transfer process when I have done this before from my iMac to my Powerbook. And now, with the Macbook Air, my iMac tells me that the device isn't connected to the Macbook Air....but it IS showing that it is discovered.
Sounds very confusing, I know.
I just need to know how to transfer Pages to my Macbook Air from my iMac.
If anyone can help, PLEASE DO!
Thanks!

How to transfer ownership of ipad 2 on verizon

I am trying to transfer teh ownership of ipad2 on verizon network. I have never registered my ipad onto the verizon network. The new owner is trying to register the ipad and it keeps telling him that it is registered to me. According to verizon they have no information about it connected to my account. I purchased it through Bestbuy and they told me to call apple. I called apple and the customer service agent told me it was a verizon problem. I tried to explain to her that verizon told me to call apple. I also informed her of the multiple messages on this site regarding the same issue. She told me to go to an apple store. I told her the closest store is over 2 1/2 hours away. She screamed back, "Go to and apple store" and then hung up on me. I am calling back but have been on hold now for 10 minutes. Anyone ever figure out how to transfer ownership of their ipad2 on the verizon network? I have already reset the pad entirely - twice. Verizon has no record of me ever registering the device to use on their network. apple in fact has no record of me registering my device with them. i never registered it with anyone yet it is registered and cannot be transferred.

I never registered it on the Verizon network, which is why they have no record of me in their system. It wax APPLE customer service that told me to go to an apple store, and then hung up on me! Apple is the one that needs to erase the registration somehow as Verizon has no record of me to even erase.
I have found several other similar issues of this on here and none have been resolved. Anyone with an answer?

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?

How do I set up my new MacBook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover? I cannot get it to work right; it seems to get stuck and repeats the same thing over and over. It is driving me nuts! Is there a way to begin the setup process without using the Voiceover system? I am a new convert from a PC and I thought a Mac was supposed to be "intuitive!"
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Pamela

There is no good reason to register your Mac anyway.
You can opt out of the setup process and registration by pressing Command (Apple key) and the "Q" key.
The registration process requires you to divulge a lot of unnecessary information.

Any tips on how to improve battery life on new macbook pro?

Any tips on how to improve battery life on new macbook pro?

It all depends on how much you plan to run on battery power. If you don't use it often, set yourself a reminder to let it run unplugged about every couple of weeks to aboout a 40% charge and then plug it up and let it charge back to 100%. If you'r'e a frequent battery user (like me) don't let your MBP discharge to the point where you're running on reserve power - down to about 30 minutes remaining and then charge it back in.
I have over 130 cycles on my computer and I've just had it since March. Even though my battery health was 102.2% when I got my MBP, it's still at 98.8% health and I'm still getting 7+ hours out of my battery. To get the longest use when under battery, keep your activities to low-CPU intensive apps (browser, email client, word processor, etc.) - Internet surfing alone, and not watching a lot of online videos, will give you mor ebang for the buck. You can also check your battery health in 'real time' by using "Battery Health" - free from the App Store and you can make sure that you're running on integrated graphics, which uses less power, by downloading Cody Krieger's exceptional gfxCardStatus.
Keep your screen brightness down to about four ticks and your keyboard backlighting to one tick - should work fine.
Good battery health to you,
Clinton
