I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.

. I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store 2 days ok, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.
I was bought a Mac book pro as a birthday gift from the Apple Store in Leicester, after completing the initial set up procedure, I noticed that  the trash bin was full of some one's entire photo collection from 2003 to 2011.
This is entirely unacceptable for Apple: How long have Apple been fobbing of consumers who believe they were genuinely purchasing a 'new' Mac book?
How is it that I have someones entire photo collection on my 'branch new Mac Book Pro' - these photos included wedding photo's, birthday celebrations, family celebrations and children. Its a serious breach of data protection, it's an invasion of some poor persons privacy and private photo collection. What concerns me the most, is what could have happened if those photo's had fallen into the wrong hands. We managed to trace, locate and contact the person who the photo's belong to within 10 mins using information taken from their wedding album.
Understandably these people are also very distressed that their personal photos are on my brand new Mac Book pro.
I would like details of who to contact in regards this incident.

    Was the FCS on your old machine an upgrade? You will need to enter your original, full version serial first, and then you will be prompted for the upgrade serial number.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • HT1727 i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

  • Bought a new mac pro but when i log in to my itunes account my music is not in my iTunes

    bought a new mac pro.  I authorized the laptop.  But I don't see my music when I logged in to my itunes account.  I'm not sure what else I need to do. 

    It will not magically appear on a new computer.
    It will only be where you put it.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Hello. I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?

    . I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?

    The device is locked to Verizon wireless not a Russian cell provider.
    You can use Verizon here in the states. Get a Verizon Sim.
    In out of the country use, pop in that Sim and it should work. However Verizon does not unlock for use in the USA.
    And you must be a Verizon customer to get it unlocked to use in other countries. Apple claims it will work in other countries.
    Good Luck

    Turn iTunes Match on, it's $25 per year.

  • I recently bought a new Mac Pro within last few weeks and have notice many

    software failures....way more than i recall ever having on my powermac g4 ffrom a year ago...
    one of my most frustrating appl,icatioins now, is my Office osx (not the new 2008) version...this was brand new when i'd originally bought my powermac g4 back in late 2003. io was reassured by the Mac specialists that that version of mac osx would work find on the new Intel Mac Pro...yet consistently by 100% every time i try to directly start any of the Office apps, word, excel, powerpoint, etc...start up fails and i get the error saying this program has encountered a prob, blah, blah blah, and do i want to relaunch, report or ignore...i've tried relaunch with 0 success, and have reported numerous times now. HOWEVER....when i douible click on a file recognized by those apps, like a .doc, or .xls, then the app opens flawlessly as it should when i try the other way.
    Aside from that, i seem to notice significantly less stability with software on this machine, though significantly less consistently in comparison to the office issue...
    is this something others are or have been experiencing? is it an Intel issue? or a Leopard Issue? i'm doubting very much its an apps issue since the crashes have happened over numbeous apps...

    That rules out the typo and MA. 2GB RAM is minimum, and Mac Pro needs more, but not that it can't or won't run simple programs adequately.
    It does need 4 DIMMs to improve balanced symmetrical memory and bandwidth, and 8 DIMMs to realize full 7.5Gbps is all.
    Often problems with Office deal with old prefs and configuration and more OS X related than Mac Pro.

  • HT201364 I just bought a new mac pro retina and it  won't install mavericks?

    Hi,
    as stupid as this question sounds when it says OSX 10.9 as the software version that means my new mac pro is actually already up to date with mavericks?
    it wont allow me to update to mavericks which seems odd as its brand new. im assuming its already installed.
    it says osx 10.9.
    just checking what this means. Im in the process of buying office 365 for it and a mac mini so i wanted both machines to be the same so i dont have andy glitches. (tried pages but im a die hard word user for 20 years)
    any help would be appreciated,
    thanks
    Niall

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X 10.9 is OS X Mavericks, so you are already using OS X Mavericks. The problem is that your Mac is using a special OS X Mavericks version, so you may be getting a message saying that your computer is not compatible if you are downloading Mavericks from the Mac App Store. Ignore it.
    Also, note that OS X 10.9.1 is the most recent version. To update your computer, open  > Software Update.

  • Installed my logic 9.0.0 on my new mac pro, updated it to 9.1.5, it accepts my serial, but then asks me for an "original serial" that I don't have..? What should I do ?

    Please Help !
    I bought Logic studio, with logic pro 9.0.0 last year, worked perfectly on my macbook pro.
    Just got a new mac pro, with macos 10.7 Lion.. I install the software, serial works,
    then I update the software,because 9.0.0 can't open in os 10.7, and after accepting my serial,
    it asks me for an "original serial" that I have no idea about..
    sry for the english..
    Please HELP, I cant survive without logic more than an hour !

  • Why is the slotomania can't be open from your Apple store menu? I had it before but stop working.

    Why is the slotomania can't be open from your Apple store menu? I had it before on my Ipad; but stop working.

    At the bottom of the App Store screen is purchased. Tap it, and see if you can install the app from there. Purchased keeps a record of all your apps, free or purchased.

  • Bought a new Mac Pro, purchased a Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter, then hooked up Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer but the system preferences does not see the printer. Started, restarted, hit the " " to add a  printer but no go.

    How to connect via Firewire/Thunderbolt adapter an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer to a new Mac Pro

    When you switch from USB to FireWire, you have essentially installed a new (i.e., different) Printer.
    In the Add-a-Printer dialog, delete[-] the existing Printer queue which is set up for USB. Then, with the Printer connected via FireWire, Add [+] a new Printer queue and it should set it up correctly this time.
    To go back to USB, you would have to delete and re-add in a similar fashion later.

  • Where do I register a new mac pro with my apple id

    I set up a new icloud account then used that to set up a new appleid. Started to use the email address in mail. Then got a message;
    Your Apple ID ([email protected]) was used to sign in to iCloud on a MacBook Pro 13".
    If you have not recently set up a MacBook Pro with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.
    I thought i had so what do i do now????
    sid

    Thanks, have just been through all this with my last Appleid. changed the password 6x then gave up and decided to create a new id. Thought that might solve the problem. What happens next is after a while apple will disable the id because it thinks someone is trying to use it other than me. Went to apple shop to sort out the problem with the original id and eventually said after changing every possible combinations on the computer suggested i create a new and start afresh. Thought good idea but now seem to be heading down that road again.
