HT201250 I'm a new Apple user

I'm a new Apple user and trying to learn about some tasks like Time Machine, if I do not have any back up madden yet, can I recover some archives I had before a water spill repair of my Mac Book Pro?
I'll really appreciate any help you can provide
Thank you very much
Alector

You cannot recover something that was not already backed up.

Has it been disabled via Settings -> General -> Restrictions?
I assume you have checked other pages of apps by swiping to the left from the home screen?

She should call Apple support or visit the Genius Bar at an Apple store (make an appointment first at http://apple.com/retail). They will walk her through the process.

I am a new Apple user and had a visitor, with an iPad, at my house. I noticed the response time slowed greatly. I have a Linksys N router and wondered is I need an Apple router to allow the speed to be consistent.

I'm a new Apple user - when I deleted some large files the available space didn't increase - I emptied the trash - am i missing a step to tidy the hard drive?

Open the Finder.
From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click View > Show Status Bar
You should now see the the free space available at the bottom of any Finder window and that should change after you empty the Trash.

Should a new Apple user buy a Macbook Pro?

I am a new Apple user who bought an ibook last August. I am not a techie and still am learning to use it but I love the way it never crashes! I am considering giving my computer to my kids (they have my old Toshiba and it is about to crater) and I am considering buying myself the new Macbook Pro (the 1.93 model). When I look at these forums, I think I may be making a mistake or getting in over my head until they have worked the kinks out with these new machines. Can anyone advise me regarding whether or not to purchase one if I am not a computer whiz?

since the macbook vanilla (or whatever they're going
to call the new ibook) is expected relatively soon, i
would suggest waiting for that. since you're not a
power user (hence you don't have a powerbook) or a
computer snob, i think the new ibook will be more
suited for your needs.
in fact, i am something of a computer snob, and i
even considered waiting for the macbook plain. i
didn't, but i considered it.
Zoe,
This will maybe happen around April 1st, if you can wait.

Hi,
If the machine is brand new I don't see why the serial Number is missing (it is entered on to a special chip at the factory)
However if the machine is a return and has been refurbished then the Logic/mother board may have been changed and someone forgot to put the info back to the new board.

Hi all not sure where original request went but as a new apple user I have external hard drives that are now "read only" and I can't change or save documents. Went to Get Info and this did not help. Can anyone assist with solution, thanks.

I am a new user to apple and have external hard drives from previous computers. I have many documents I can no longer access and change as they say the drives are read only. How do I change the read only to read and write etc for these external drives. I tried Get Info but this did not assist. Thanks.

Brand New Apple User trying to import video files from FreeAgent External..

hard drive. Previous Dell owner and now I have converted. I have files saved to my FA Drive in a .MOD version and cannot play them on my Apple. What do I have to do to accomplish this? I have a JVC Everio HD camcorder.
Any help for a newbie would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
.mod are a JVC custom version of MPEG2 files. You should be able to play them in VLC. I would guess that your goal is actually to get them imported in such a format that they can be used in iMovie projects etc. It appears from this Apple article that many of the Everio models are compatible with iMovie 08 (you are out of luck if you wish to use the superior iMovie HD 6). I would simply suggest connecting the FreeAgent drive, load iMovie 08 and point it at the files.
If you don't get anywhere I'd suggest posting in the iMovie forums as the chaps with real experience of video handling hang out there.
BTW this forum is for the much older iMac (Flat Panel) models; as a new user I expect you have an Intel iMac.

.Mac Alias - Small Niggling Problem for New Apple User

Hi,
I have very recently purchased my very first Apple computer - and yes, i am one of those life long MS-DOS/Windows users who have been lured by the ease and simplicity of the iPod (which apparently a lot of people are loath to admit, but hey, I'm not proud).
Anyhow, having got my nice new shiny system out of its box, and up and running, I set-up up a new .MAC account, and then set-up one alias, the thing is my 'alias' mail is not ending up in my .Mac mailbox, but my other mailbox which belongs to my broadband ISP.
Basically in Apple Mail ( I have OS X Tiger.10.4.3) I have an 'InBox' which shows everything from my two accounts, and separate mailboxes within : One called 'BlueYonder' who is my broadband ISP, and a second mailbox called '.Mac Mail'. IYSWIM?
Now ALL of the mail sent to my standard .Mac account address ends up in the .Mac mailbox, and the 'collective' InBox, but and here is the puzzle, any mail sent to my .Mac ''alias'' goes into the 'Collective' InBox and my 'BlueYonder' mailbox, but not into my .Mac mailbox!
I sent an email to the .Mac support team, and they said that it was either an issue with Apple Mailbox, and that I should look in here at the 'Discussions' or I have a Rule set-up.
Well I don't have a rule set-up except the one that was already set-up when I first bought my system. This is set to just highlight in Blue any mail from any 'Apple' address. No rules are set to move or change locations etc.
So can anyone,if possible please advise me what is going on with my mailbox and also how I can rectify it if possible please?
Thanks and all the best for the New year to you all.

Drusus - would be good for you to share your findings here. It might help anyone else with the same problem in the future.
Thanks,
Brocks.

Hi. I am a new apple user. I just switched and I find it really nice. I am having a hard time changing the apple id of my refurbished iPhone 3gs. I already have an apple id and when I try to update apps on my phone it keeps on asking old users password. .

Hi. I am having problems when I try to update my refurbished iphone to my macbook. It keeps on asking for old password of the previous owner. I created a new account here but it's all the same when i try to update. I need help. been trying to update since yesterday. will appreciate your replies.TIA

Hi.
I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID. Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

New Apple user and I can not print to my new printer

I purchased a new HP 309a printer. I am not able to print to it via Airport or USB. I can check the ink levels but not print. I am able to print from my Windows computer.

Toyya, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Does your printer appear in the System Preferences>Printer & Fax preference window?
BTW - Your listed OS is 10.4.1. You should update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
