Hi I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15" Retina display with 256 SSD and 8G RAM. I had my info transferred form my Previous Mac Book Pro late 2011 to this machine. When trying to download Mavericks it says it cannot be loaded onto this machine? Strange as I have just downloaded Pages, Numbers and Keynote...free? Thanks and Regards
Brian

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

    Exactly which model/year is yours and does it meet the system requirements for Mavericks?

    A minimum of 4 GB RAM is recommended as well as enough hard drive space.

    I have just bought a new computer how do i update Itunes with my old data

    You need to move your iTunes library and other important data(contacts, calendars, pics, etc.) from your old computer to your new computer:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/
    Once you do that, authorize your new computer(Store>Authorize this Computer), then backup your iPhone on your new computer, then restore your phone from that backup, followed by syncing your iTunes content back to your phone. The iTunes content currently on your phone will be erased when you first sync on your new computer, but if you move your entire library, you'll just sync the same content back to your phone.

    I am unable to download updates directly to iPad 2 , now trying to reinstall one from scratch but download keeps stopping and the restarting. Can you offer any advice, this happening when trying to download to laptop in itunes as well. Have tried to download on different broadband lines without success. Is this an apple problem due to high demand or something else?
    Everything has worked well until about a month ago, up to date iOS 5 and itunes installed. Tried resetting numerous times, turned off all apps still no joy. Ipad was great but now feeling buying one was mistake. Also recent music purchase was useless and tunes would not play correctly.

    Since this is happening on the iPad and the computer, it might be worth a try to reboot your router - unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    Quit iTunes on the PC, reboot it and the iPad as well
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons

  • I have just bought a new Imac and it will not load my copy of FCE 3.5 as it says "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So how do I get to use the version of FCE I am used to and have paid for ?

    I have just bought a new Imac and it will not load my copy of FCE 3.5 as it says "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So how do I get to use the version of FCE I am used to and have paid for ?

    I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1.  Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the 27" screen from your iMac to view and work FCE in the Mac Mini environment);
    2.  Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCE and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly.  There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:
                                  [click on image to enlarge]
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
    NOTE 2:  Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

  • I have just bought a new shuffle and cant get it to syn

    I have just bought a new ipod shufle and cant find the sync button.  The problem is that i have an old shuffle already registered.  I have downloaded the latest itunes on my laptop but cant see my new ipod listed anywhere, can anyone help please?

    The problem is that i have an old shuffle already registered. 
    That's not a problem.  You can connect multiple iPods to your computer at the same time, and each one appears separately in iTunes.
    If this is the first time you are using iTunes 11.x, the sidebar (along left side of window) may not be visible.  If so, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Make sure you are using the USB cable that came with the shuffle, if your old shuffle is a different type (2nd gen).  When connected, it should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  If you connect both shuffles at the same time, they should both appear under DEVICES.
    If that does not happen, please post back.

  • I am regularly getting a message "...cannot be played on this iPad" when trying to download podcasts.

    I am regularly getting a message "...cannot be played on this iPad" when trying to download podcasts while using a strong wifi connection. 
    I accidently deleted an episode that I wanted to save to listen to again and went to redownload it and got the message so the file and/or publisher aren't the issue.
    Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me get my iPad to function correctly!

    I am getting the same issue!! I have found it only seems to do it on podcasts with explicit content like idiot abroad or frankie Boyle.

  • HT1338 I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    I must tell you, I am in the situation that MegsiPhone described and I am confused as to what to do.  Here is what I have done thus far:
    1.  I installed iTunes on my new computer, I wen't ahead and set up a new library file locally, and pointed to my NAS for all the music and movies file in edit>advanced.  From what I recall, when I did I can remember getting a whole bunch of messages about apps, new versions, overwriting.  I don't recall, regadless I dismissed each on and did not override.  Anyway, that's all done now.
    2.  I can tell you that I used to back up three iPhones and an iPod touch to my old PC.  There is a mixture of 4 iTunes ID's with various app purchases, it seems a mess. 
    3.  I did plug my phone in, it gave me the error message about syncing only to one computer.  Then I did a back-up and a sync.  I know it did not work right because it took a matter of seconds when I know it should take a lot longer.  Anyway, as a safeguard I am using iCloud back-up for now before I do anything else.
    So, what do I do now to make this all right?  I would like to be able to sync mine and my wife's iPhone to the computer.  Should I not bother and just keep my back-up in the cloud and are there disadvantages to this?  For my son's iPhone, I can let him back-up to the old computer, I would assume that would remain good and I would not have any issues.  Should I erase the back-up on my new computer, erase the appss or whatever and start from scratch?  Kind of not sure how to handle, please help.

  • I have just bought a new laptop. itunes currently used on PC. Do I need to downloand the up to date version of itunes directly on to new laptop before I try to copy my music library over to laptop.

    I have just bought a new laptop. I have itunes currently used on old PC. Do I need to download the up to date version of itunes on to laptop before I try to copy music library over to laptop or will itunes software automatically copy when I copy the library? I am not that knowledgeable IT wise but can manage slowly.

    Know it would be wise to download from here and install first

    Then transfer your music over, details here
