I have downloaded Lion onto my MacBook Pro. My husband and I share a desktop. Can we download Lion onto the desktop from my Apple ID without causing problems for my husband's Apple ID use?
Yes. In the future, however, only you will be able to update Lion because it will now require your Apple ID.

I have a Macbook 2007/08 model and the charger has decided to pack in. I have also recently purchased a Macbook Pro 2013 model and would like to know if there is an adaptor available that I can use on my Macbook Pro charger to charge the Macbook.
You can get a new third party 60W power adapter on eBay for under $20.

I just downloaded Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro 10.8.2 Now Safari and Firefox are not functioning right - sites are garbled, show up as bulleted blue phrases, don't react. I am trying to search train tickets in Paris and can't do it. My e-mail (Shaw) defaults to HTML and I cannot access the Bay site through e-mail. Help.
Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
I have a 2 year old macbook pro os x 10.5.8 want to upgrade to lion
I have a 2 year old macbook pro os x 10.5.8 want to upgrade to lion
Mountain Lion Requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444
App Compatibility:
http://roaringapps.com/
Check both above first. Then call Apple Sales & have them send you a retail Snow Leopard Disk(US $29)...there is no download. Update to 10.6.8, then go to Mountain Lion or Lion if you like(US $19).
Don't know if Apple is still selling Lion...you'll have to ask Apple sales when you call. You need Snow Leopard to get the Mac app store where you can then purchase Mountain Lion...Lion is no longer available in the store. -
i made a dual boot of windows 7 and mac os x lion in my macbook pro .i installed m icrosoft support software also. now, can i install windows updates? do i turn on the automatic updating of updates?
yes you need the updates and patches.
Only some of the drivers that Windows will automatically install at times
and always make sure to insure it is using restore points
do all the maintenance andsuch as normal
use MS Security Essentials for AV is really top notch
Clean disk space
Use WinClone new program to inisure you have a restore image -
I have an OS X 10.6.6 MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and i am trying to format my whole hard drive (back to factory settings) from the original CD.
Can someone please give instructions?Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To restore the MacBook Pro to factory settings:
1. Make a backup of your files because everything will be erased.
2. Insert the Snow Leopard disc and press the C key while your Mac is starting to start from the DVD.
3. Go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD on the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
4. Close Disk Utility and install Mac OS X -
Migrated from MBP with moutain lion to new macbook pro retina display and now I have lion os
After migrating from a time machine backup and logging in (had problems with that too and had to restart user password) the os version is 10.7.4 when it should be 10.8.2
Went to the app store and I have to pay again to get the upgrade.. Do i have to pay again???
Thanks!Hi again, Juan.
OK this is just a guess but I believe that when you set up your rMBP from your old MBP you used TM restore not Migration Assistant. What happened is that you installed your old system OS10.7.4 and all files.
Using Migration Assistant (MA) would not have overwritten your OS.
See this taken from Finder Help....
Recover your entire system
If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover your system’s contents if your system or startup disk is damaged.
Important: Only use your Time Machine backup to restore your system to the computer that is the source of the backup. If you want to use your backup to transfer your information to a new computer, use Migration Assistant.
Transfer your info from a computer or disk
If you’re restoring your system because of a problem with your startup disk, repair or replace the disk before following these instructions.
Make sure your Time Machine backup disk is connected and turned on. If your backup disk is on a network, make sure your computer is on the same network.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
Select “Restore from a Time Machine Backup,” and then click Continue.
Depending on your type of backup disk, do one of the following:
If you use an external disk, select it and click Continue.
If you use a Time Capsule, choose your AirPort network from the AirPort menu on the right side of the menu bar, and then select your Time Capsule and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
If you use a network disk, select it and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
If necessary, enter the name and password you use to connect to your backup disk, and then click Connect.
Select the date and time of the backup you want to restore, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
After you restore your system from a Time Machine backup, Time Machine may perform a full backup at the next scheduled backup time. This is normal. Time Machine resumes incremental backups after the full backup is completed.
I suggest you make an appoint at the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store and they will help you restore your computer. Make sure you take in your old MBP and your Time Machine back up disk as well.
Do not use instructions above for a TM restore now, because it will only reinstall Lion 10.7.4 not ML 10.8.X.
You need to reinstall ML first and then I think all of your problems will go away.
So did I guess right? Did you launch TM and restore or did you launch Migration Assistant to move files?
Hope this helps, if you cannot get to the Apple Store, I can try to walk you through reinstalling ML, but first we need to download a copy of ML. -
I have imported a digital recording on to my MacBook Pro 10.6. I want to move it to Itunes so that I can burn a CD but although I have created a new playlist, Itunes won't accept the file and instead it has gone to Quicktime and I can't transfer it or burn a CD. I have installed a Flip4Mac Upgrade but still no luck. I have managed to transfer previous files and burn CDs before so am not sure what the problem is.
This file type is not supported by iTunes. I would recommend converting the file (I use convertfiles.com, but there are many choices) to MP3. It then can be added to iTunes.

I have tried to transfer data from my old Windows PC to my new MacBook Pro via Ethernet cable. The function starts to download and then aftera while it stops unexpectedly and both computers say they are "trying to reconnect"> This transfer has failed on three attempts so far. What am I doing wrong? Help please. I am simlply tyring to transfer my itunes library and photos to the new Mac.
Forget Migration Assistant. Just copy the files you want to transfer to an External drive and then move that drive to the Mac and copy them over to the Mac. Does matter what the external drive format is as OS X can read from NTFS, Windows, formatted drives.

Last weekend I was able to download an earlier version of Snapchat from iTunes without any problems.
I now won't let me download Snapchat at all, saying it needs IOS 7.
Why is it doing this and how can I download an earlier version of Snapchat onto my iPod again?
I don't understand why this week it has started saying I need IOS 7, without giving me the option to download an earlier version.
Many ThanksTry:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
However, sometimes a previous version is not available. -
I no longer have any sound on my macbookpro 10.6.8, not even beginning chime.
Furthermore, I find that I no longer have any images as well as no sound, from any
of my Itunes cinema, tv show purchases, etc.
I recently watched last week a couple of tv episodes through my TV
using a Mini Display Port + Toslink Audio purchased at Apple.
I use this device occasionally and haven't had any problems til now.
Any suggestions to right the problem?.In System Preferences>Sound do you have your internal speakers set as the output source?
You may have toggled on optical output with the Toslink cable - check to see if there's a red light coming from the port. If so, quickly plug and unplug a set of headphones for a number of times to see if you can toggle the switch back from optical to the internal speakers.
Good luck,

I have tried copying iphoto onto flash drive and then putting on the pro but it just comes up as having no photos in it. Can I have two seperate iphotos on one laptop? I tried file sharing the iphoto library too but just comes up with not having the relevant permissions to put it on the pro. Please help, I'm not massively computer literate and just want my laptop to have photos on. I also need to move my itunes music....how would I do that? I don't want everything from my imac so don't want to use migration assistant. Thank you.
Hi Thomas,
Thank you again for another very swift response.
The folder got into the Trash because I'm an idiot who didn't think he needed it anymore.
Then I thought: hold on a minute. I'll pull that back out of the Trash before I delete it, JUST in case.
And thank goodness I did.
Here are the Terminal results:

Then you need to obtain them from the seller. It is illegal (according to Apple) to sell Macs without the system discs that came with it.
You can get replacement System Discs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -
