HT1420 My current Macbook Pro has always been authorized with my apple ID now it is not and I cannot delete this computer nor add it to my account?

I have recently purchased a new iPhone 5S and was looking to make a custom ringtone. I have always had this computer authorized already and I can play all my purchased content in iTunes currently. However, when I sync it is requesting I authorize this computer. I do that and it says I cannot because I have computers authorized already. I followed apple's instructions to deauthorize this computer however, it is saying this computer is not authorized. Someone please help?!?!?!

I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account. Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

How do you change a brush tool color in Photoshop13. The color chart that has always been on the right side of the screen is gone and I cannot find out how to turn it on

I now have the pallete on the right side of my screen. But, I am unable to change the color of the brush. I move the eye dropper over red and click on it. A panel comes saying 'Pure Red', I click ok but the brush color does not change.

MacBook Pro has a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode.

MacBook Pro has started to get a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode. This happened once previously, however, it allowed a safe mode reboot and then worked for a week or so. While utilzing the machine, it started with the spinning beach ball for about 5 minutes, went into a shut down mode and then rebooted and came back up with the grey screen with a circle and slash after a few minutes. For the past three days it has been stuck and will not allow it to boot into safe mode. Any idea or suggestions?

Try starting the MBP with the OPTION key down. If you see two HDD icons, select the recovery Icon. From the 4 option menu, select Disk Utility. Select Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
If you cannot get into the recovery partition, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.

My MacBook Pro has no sound, even with Apple headphones plugged in...

My Macbook Pro won't play any sound from both it's own speakers or any speaker I plug it into. This has me very worries, please help.

If a PRAM reset fails to correct the problem, bring the MBP to an Apple store genius bar:

MACbook Pro/Bluetooth?Disconnect issues with an Apple mouse and keyboard

Well Folks-
The disconnect issue I have with my Macbook Pro using a wireless Apple Keyboard and mouse is BACK. I wiped the hard drive clean and I reinstalled and I updated the O.S. system including purchasiing Lion via the ineternet one by one and the disconnect issue has retuned on Day 4. What else is there left to do? Anyone?

Hi....
Might be corrupted Bluetooth preferences (.plist)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
See if that helped. You may need to re, "pair" your devices and the Mac OS X will re geneate a new .plist file for you.
Make sure the batteries are fresh also.

How do i get my Macbook Pro to communicate/link-up with the Apple TV when it's on ?

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a Macbook pro and Apple TV. The apple tv works fine from an i-pad, but i am not sure where on a Pro to go to get it to 'read' the apple tv ?
Would be grateful for any help please......

AppleTV works in several ways.
For material purchased in iTunes you can play it from the internet if your connection is good enough under Movie/TV Show Purchased sections on the unit itself without a computer on.
For material downloaded or added to iTunes library, the best way to play is to Home Share and for apple TV to pull the compatible stream across to play using iTunes as a helper app.
Apple TV cannot play media that is not part of an itunes library (though the media for the itunes library can be stored in several locations) directly, nor can it access network storage to do so.
If you are playing media files which are not part of an iTunes library on a MacBook Pro and want to mirror the screen to the TV you need to use Airplay mirroring on the Mac (if it's new it should be capable, older ones aren't). Some applications will be prevented from mirroring presumably for copyright reasons (eg DVD player app), but VLC may work. You have probably used Airplay or `Airplay mirroring from iPad - I'm not keen on Airplay personally, but I've had AppleTVs since the days when this was never an option and it could only stream or sync from itunes (syncing no longer possible in newer units).

I just recently bought a macbook pro. I got an email from apple to update to OSX Lion but I accidentally deleted it. Is there anyway that email can be resent so I don't have to purchase OSX Lion?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. After setting up my new laptop, I got an email from Apple about upgrading to OSX Lion. I wasn't sure what the email was so I accidentally deleted it. Afterwards, I was informed that I need this upgrade and I have no way of retrieving this email. Is there anyway another email can be sent out to me so I don't have to purchase OSX Lion through the App Store?

Visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate and follow the appropriate links. You will be asked what your serial number is and where you purchased your computer but you will get lion free of charge.

Why do I have to ask my MacBook pro 13" i7 to sync with my Apple Mouse at Start Up?

I've had my 13" MacBook Pro i7 for two days and have noticed that I have to go to the Preferences Panel to and ask the for the Bluetooth Apple mouse to be synced every time I start the laptop. I've never experienced this before with a Mac. I see nothing in preferences that addresses automatic syncing at startup.
What am I missing?

Got it. Had to make it a favorite in the Bluetooth preferences. Clicked on the gear symbol in the bottom left corner and made it a favorite.

Whenever i start my macbook pro the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it for hours.

When i turn on my macbook a box appears telling me i need to restart my computer (in different languages) and in order to do so i have to press on the off button for a lil while. Even after doing this the same box appears and it never restarts correctly. This box appears every single time. I rarely turn my computer off. I just place it on sleep mode and restarts it only when i get prompted to. I brought it to genius and they couldnt figure out what the problem is so i was told it needed to be shipped to get fixed. I didnt have anything backed up. All i want saved are the pictures because i went to 2 events where i was the assigned photographer and i didnt get to save it to an external memory. Genius said that when shipped i cant give instructions like make sure to save the pictures and if they are unable to, call me if they should go on with the process. I was wishful thinking that to fix the problem they might not even have to touch the pictures memory part. I brought my MBP back home hoping it will miraculously starts and id be able to back it up but now all it does when i turn it on is the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it on for hours. Please help me fix this!!! cant i really specify to the technicians at apple to please make sure not to erase the pictures? Is there no other way to turn on my mac? I only need it to work ones.

There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.

HT1449 After moving music and movies from my MacBook Air to an external hard drive, do I create a new iTunes music and media folder on my computer then add more music and movies, then will I be able to move the computer music/media to the hard drive musci

I need to move the music and movies from my MacBook Air (original) to an external hard drive, after I do this, do I create a new music folder and media folder on my computer to load music/movies in via the dedicatd external drive and then would I be able to move the newly imported to the external drive which would be my main site of storage?

No, do it all in one go and henceforth only use the library located on the external drive.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

HT5621 So, Settings iTunes & Apple Store has the right Apple ID, but iCloud does not, and I cannot sign out of it or change it. Yes, every 5 seconds Apple wants me to sign into my iCloud account... Any tips?

Please help. Thanks.

Same here. I cannot change my Apple ID ONLY in iCloud on my phone. Everywhere else is fine. I cannot turn off Find My iPhone and/or delete the iCloud account off the phone. This all happened because my phone died, I purchased a new one, and for some reason when I plugged it up the phone did not have the latest backup I did from my other phone. It took me to a backup from November which had the old Apple ID. The new Apple ID works on the Apple Store, iTunes, and everywhere else it is needed except for iCloud.
PLEASE Someone HELP
If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

New MacBook pro has frozen in start up just apple on screen

This is a brand new computer and I'm flying and having to figure this out on I phone can anyone help

So what do I do? Do I switch off the PC and try again? Or will this do some sort of damage since it's the first boot...?

My macbook pro (early 10") is stuck at gray apple loading screen but will not go further.

I've done start-up in safe-mode but it just shuts down afterward. What should i do?

Try Safe Mode first ...
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
If you can't boot into Safe Mode successfully, insert your install disc so you can verify and repair the startup disk using Disk Utility.

Thinking of changing my current Macbook Pro for recently released?

My current Macbook Pro is the 15" bought in 2008 just when the glossy screen computers came out. Its a good unit with 4 gigs RAM, 2.4 mhz processor etc.
However, I just bought an iMac 27" i5. Its very powerful and is now the centre of my computing universe. Oddly, since I got the iMac I use my portable as a portable more than ever. I was thinking though that really since the iMac is so powerful probably all I'd need is the 13.3" new Macbook Pro. It would be lighter and more portable but I'm not sure it would give me any performance enhancements over what I currently have.
I'm just curious what others thoughts are on the new 13.3" Macbook Pro. The only advantage I can with it over my current Macbook Pro is the graphics processor looks like its more powerful. The battery life is also amazing. On my current Macbook Pro I'm lucky to get 3 hours. This machine is rated at 10 hours.
Considering I've got a powerful iMac i5, does it make sense just to get the 13.3" Macbook Pro or spring for the 15.4. I don't think I need two powerful computers considering I use the iMac as the centre. Plus, I realize now that the apps I use all this power is wasted on.
I could probably sell my current Macbook Pro for $1000 as it has a tiny dent from a fall, buy the new Macbook Pro for $1200 plus and have something that is a little more portable with great battery life and I suspect maybe somewhat faster. My current computer is of course a matte screen and I don't think you can beat that but I think this combo I'm thinking of might be a better fit.
I just want people's thoughts views especially around also that the 13.3" Macbook Pro is a core duo 2 and I think this processor is pretty well near the end of its life. I saw Steve Jobs say though that the performance boost from the new Macbook Pro would have been minimal with an i5 but a lot with the new graphics cards.
Thoughts would be very much appreciated.

If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences. If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section. Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.
Ciao.
