HT2518 Good Day, I've used pcs forever and just got a macbook pro. I have installed Parallels, should use the Migration program also for the Apple side?
I have a new Macbook Pro and have used pc's forever. I have loaded and transferred info with Parelles, should I still use the migration program on the Mac?
Thanks and have a good day
Take a look at this link, particularly "What gets transferred, and to where?" when Windows Migration Assistant is used.

If you have already transfered the files you want to transfer, WMA is of no use.
I gather there is no other Mac, so the Mac Migration Assistant can do nothing.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?
If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

Hello
THIS IS RAZA
I GOT A MACBOOK PRO
I HAVE A PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS how to solve this problem i have uploaded in .... all the time few days later on i face this problem in safari..... anyone can help me please.....thanksThis is a scam. Do not phone these people, at best they will charge you for unnecessary 'cleaning' and at worst they will gain access to your Mac and steal your data. You've probably managed to install some 'adware' which is producing this fake warning. 'Adwaremedic' should remove it and is safe to use - please see

I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left. Do I need to start completely over and delete the content in my new library to prevent duplicates or is there a way to continue the process?

I just got my MacBook Pro a month ago. However I am realizing I need more hard drive space due to aps and programs. I use am external but am concerned about the space. Is there a way to upgrade my hard drive from apple and keep my warranty valid?
That would depend on whether your model actually has a hard drive. If you have the new 2013 Retina model, then you have a fixed storage device built-in that cannot be modified after purchase.

I’m using windows 7 and working in office 2010. I have installed iCloud and I can’t print my calendar from outlook all it will print is a blank calendar no appointments or birthdays . can anyone help please.
GeoffI had a similiar problem, with my multiple devices. I open iTunes and when all devices were connected I went to the info section on each device. Under info I checked the sync calandars. Under that I click all calanders. I then did the apply in low right. I then did the sync function and it fixed it for me. You have to do this for each device.
I also checked the device (ipad,Iphone) themselves and change the calander selection to NO Catagory. Hope this helps. -
how do i migrate files from a imac to macbook pro using an ethernet cable. the migration program asks for firewire and i don't own a fireWire. I do own an ethernet cable though
A FW cable would be far faster & Easier, but with Ethernet you need a compatible version of Migration Assistant running on both Macs.

I'm a singer and recently bought a Macbook Pro. I'd like to use it to play music through my PA system but it doesn't seem compatible as no sound is coming through. It is however coming through my smaller Bose system. My main system is Alto APM80.1000 with Proel speakers.
Hi it's a headphone jack and two larger (microphone type jacks?) at the other end. Please excuse my not not knowing the name of anything - I know where everything goes but not the names! So if I press Alt and the sound icon at the same time what output should I be choosing?
I've tried plugging into the red and white tape in tape out and the front of the amp with a headphone/red and white jack lead and a slight sound comes out but of bad quality.
When I'm going through my bose it's an easy headphone to headphone lead and is working perfectly.
Thanks -

I just got a macbook pro Retina display , where is a good resourse on how to use it ?
Hi all ,
never owned a mac before and know nothing about it.
Where is a good resource on using it , like a really good
users manual ? Like how do I use the turbo boost on it ?
Im good on a pc but lord , please help me. Id sure appreciate it.
Either that or sell the thing . thanks for lookingYou might want to check Amazon and search for a "Mavericks Missing Manual" - they are usually very good informative manuals, though not necessarily good for the actual hardware of your computer. Knowing the OS, though, is far better than any sort of hardware manual.
As to making a recovery disk, you can get a 8GB+ USB pen drive and, having downloaded "Install OS Mavericks.app" from the Mac App Store, create a USB recovery pen drive using DiskMaker X to create the USB drive. Pretty simple. I don't know that you can use a DVD any longer (you once could but I don't know any longer).

HT201250 I use Snow Leopard and tried restore my Macbook pro using Time Machine.
After waiting a considerable time for Time Machine to restore my whole system, applications and files I had problems in that my Macbook Pro would not restart. The Apple logo appeared but then the screen scrolled down and a lot of letters, numbers and symbols appeared - not making any sense, and a box appeared telling me to restart holding down the on button. This I did. However it kept on repeating. In the end I had to reinstall the whole lot. Fortunately I had backed up all my files. I cannot use some of the programs I have because I cannot retrieve them. I do not have a disk with them on to reload because I downloaded them from the net and they are old progs and still did what I wanted. A lot of files I have saved do not open now without the old system and apps.Can anyone come up with an idea?

Ah that's good to hear, does this still work if TimeMachine updates to reflect the 10.7 drive?
There is no special update. After installing Lion, Time Machine will do a normal "incremental" backup, of the stuff that's new or changed. That will be relatively large and lengthy, of course, since OSX and the default Apple apps will all be backed-up.
But there's nothing else different about the TM drive. It stil contains all the past backups, including older versions of OSX.
In other words if a user upgrades to 10.7 and doesn't like it after a few days/weeks, has TM connected and it updated to relfect 10.7, can the user c boot off the 10.6 disk erase and restore 10.6 from the TM drive?
Yes, except you don't have to erase.
You just boot from the Snow Leopard Install disc and do a full system restore. That includes erasing the destination, so it doesn't matter what's on it. Then everything on the backup is restored, including OSX, apps, users, data, settings, etc., just as it was at the time of the backup selected.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14, especially step (g). The sample is a bit fuzzy -- it's a photo, since you can't screenprint there, but note that the last two backups were made on Snow Leopard:
Once that's done, and the system restarts, you can use the "Star Wars" display to restore selected items from later (ie, Lion) backups, but of course in some cases (Mail for one), the Snow Leopard apps won't work with the Lion-formatted files. -
I purchased Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my MacBook Pro and iPad last year. I just purchased a new iMac for my wife and it came with iWorks. When I try to save a document on the iMac it tells me I must buy an iWorks serial number, but the App Store shows the applications as installed and will not process the request. How do I correct?
Did you pay for iWorks to come preinstalled on the iMac? Because it sounds like what you have is a trial version, which is why it is stating that you need to buy a serial number.
I suggest that you delete the entire trial iWorks suite. Once they are safely in the Trash where the Mac App Store can't see them, you can sign into your account on the MAS and download the MAS versions that you own a license to use. -

18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

How can I detect displays?
If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.
I hope this information helps ....
