What do I do?

Assuming you know where the power button is, and have pressed it without any positive results, Return it.

Just bought the Mac Book Pro 17" - set up all OK but the applications are only showing on a small screen size, not full screen - the background is still visible as a margin - how do I take the view to full screen corner to corner so to speak.

Just bought the Mac Book Pro for my photography - set up and running last night, but the user screens ie Hot Mail, safari etc.. are only half size sat on the background - I have exhausted the help and calibration log...surel this must be simple to fix...any help out there..thanks..Paul.

Have you just moved over from WIndows?
This is standard on Macs. The ability to see more than one window at a time. Some apps - like iPhoto, Aperture etc - have a Full Screen mode. Check out the View menu.
Drag the lower right hand corner to resize the window.

I just bought the mac book pro retina. I want to get the newest easiest book to read to understand how to use it. Any suggestions ?

I just bought the mac book pro retina. Im not good on the computer. I do the basics. Does any one know of the newest and easiest step by step book I can get so I can learn how to use it?

Mac for Dummies is a pretty good beginners' guide. But whatever you buy make sure it is a very recent edition, one that is relevant for the operating system on your MBR. The OS is updated regularly and guide books can become out of date.
By the way, iOS is not a Macintosh operating system. On the top left of the Maac screen, click the black Apple icon, then select About This Mac. The operating system is shown there.

What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?

What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?
I was looking at WD MY PASSPORT FOR MAC and Toshiba. I want something that will work best with time capsule! Suggestions on the best external hard drive would be greatly appreciated!!!

A Time Machine backup drive should be substantially larger than the system drive. If you have a 128 or 256 GB SSD then a 1 TB drive will suffice. If you have a 512 GB SSD then a 2 TB drive will suffice. As leroydouglas indicated any brand other than WD will do.
For 1 TB drives PlotinusVeritas gives some great suggestions here:

A 2 TB drive sold by Apple:

$130
A 2 TB drive just as good for only $92.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback please!!! I thank you in advance!!!

I just bought a Mac Book Pro and the Appstore show one upgrade of iPhoto (9.2.1). I started a section with my Apple ID (the account that I have I use to iTunes) but when I try to update it says that there are upgrades available for other accounts and that I have to upgrade using the account that I used to buy iPhoto. What do I have to do to upgrade iPhoto?

I just bought 15' Mac book pro. as i work a lot on Garageband. I even downloaded all the drummers and loops to update the new Garageband 10.0.1 now my problem is that all my past work which i did on older version on GB, has missing sounds in it.

now my problem is that all my past work which i did on older version on GB, has missing sounds in it. so here are my questions
1. DO i have to install JAMPACKS on my new Macbook pro?
2. Are JAMPACKS still compatable with the new GB?
3. There is an UPDATE on the new GB on Appstore and once i click it, it goes to billing no detail is provided what this update is for so help!
thanks

See: This document explains what the in-App purchase is about.

Do you still have your old Mac?
How did you migrate from the old Mac to the new Mac? Did you transfer your old software and documents using Setup Assistant? Then your old GarageBand '11 version should have been migrated, and all your instruments.
if you did not migrate GarageBand '11, copy your old Instruments Library and Loop Library over from the old mac. Copy the following folders to a thumbsdrive and merge the missing dontents into the corresponding folders on your new mac: (from the system library - the top level library folder on your Macintosh HD):
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/
/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/
And if you would like to continue to use GarageBand '11 for access to missing features, copy also /Applications/GarageBand over, but to a subfolder of Applications. I recommend, to install the old GarageBand as well. It can be used in parallel to GB 10.0, and will come in handy, if your old projects are having problems.
1. DO i have to install JAMPACKS on my new Macbook pro?
2. Are JAMPACKS still compatable with the new GB?
The JamPacks are nice to have, a terrific collection of instruments and loops, but if you did not have them previously, that will not help with your missing instruments. You can instll them by buying Mainstage 3. They work well with GarageBand 10.0

I just bought a mac book pro - When setting up my computer it told me that I there was updates to my operating sytem - to install the updates. I installed them and then restarted my computer - But it still says that I have an update to do - which is the operating sytem one that I just did??? Do I still need to do something else.

bschau1963,
sometimes updates have other updates as prerequisites, so one set of updates can lead to another set of updates. Unless it is asking you to apply the same update over and over again, you should probably accept the new set of updates that Software Update is offering.

I just bought a Mac Book Pro and why do I now have to pay for the OS X upgrade?

I just bought a Mac Book Pro about a month ago and now I have to pay for the OS upgrade!!! Is there anyway to avoid this charge?

Click on the  in the top left corner, then About This Mac. The version number will be listed right under OS X.
If it is something like 10.8.3 or 10.8.4 (anything starting with 10.8.x), you can click Software Update to download 10.8.5 for free.

I`ve just bought a Mac Book pro 15", did the required updates and since two days ago it freezes. Now I can´t even start the computer. the screen is allways white. how can I solve this issue??

The same thing happened to me... Since two days the ******* thing keeps freezing after a while. Then I try to reboot and the screen goes white and it doesn't boot. If I wait like half an hour it boots again.
I thought it was a hardware problem, but the Apple Hardware Test founds nothing at all. I think it has to do with the software update I performed 2 days ago.

I am new to mac, but i keep reading about Mountain lion. I just bought my Mac book Pro less then a month ago. my current software is OS X 10.8.2, Do i already have mountain lion? How do I check to see?

As the others have stated, you're on Mountain Lion with 10.8, anything. But you can check your version of the software by going to the apple in the upper left corner of the screen and clicking it and selecting "About This Mac". That will open a box that shows your software version. Once there you can click on "More Info" that will tell you everything about your specific mac configuration.

I have CS4 and just bought a mac book Pro

I have CS4 and just bought a mac book pro can i buy a upgrade and put it on my mac ?

You are long past any upgrade eligibility and only can buy a fresh license. And since even CS6 isn't exactly 100% compatible with Yosemite the sensible thing to do would be to sign up for Creative Cloud.
