I bought a new macbook a week ago but would love to have my old iphoto6....
as i dont like how the new iphoto works on editing..
its like its not even working..
how should i get iphoto6 back on a ilife 08' mac?
If you upload after each shoot and then clear the camera events will reflect that. And, as Terence mentioned you can use keywords, descriptions, albums, smart albums and folders to organize the photos.
I think I know what you mean, however, particularly if you don't erase the photos in the camera after each upload and don't upload after each shoot. FWIW I upload each shoot via the Finder and card reader (you can use Image Capture if you don't have a card reader) to a folder on the Desktop first. I date and title the folder, 03/08/08-Temecula Rod Show, batch, sequentially rename each photo with the international date and brief description, 2008-03-08-TemRodShow-01, with a 3rd party renaming app like R-Name orName Mangler. Then I import into iPhoto. This gives me events that are titled the same as the folder was and makes the photos easy to sort or search alphanumerically which would also be chronological. Different strokes for different folks.

Bought a New Macbook Air w/Lion can I install Lion on my old Machine
I just bought a new Macbook Air with Lion preinstalled on it. Is it now possible to download Lion again to my old Mac, or since I didn't purchase it from the Mac Ap store I'm out of luck. I was able to download the new versions of iPhoto, Rockband and iMovie on the old mac, but no luck so far with Lion. I guess I'm paying $30, unless somebody has a thought?
That's odd... I upgraded 4 Macs to Lion and have not had any earth shattering work stoppages. A little bug here and there but nothing that caused any mentionable issues.
It is kind of unhelpful spouting off what you have read and not experienced.
You have read about people with issues because this is a forum where people come for help. You are reading about the installs that have had issues not about the million+ that have worked. -
I need to know how to change the macbooks name to reflect new ownership. Thanks.

It did not come with the original discs, and I bought it for the fact that it came with certain programs already on it. I do have the snow leopard os disc I bought to update my older macbook, but don't want to lose those programs which I bought it for.
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 -

Mac OS X 10.6 Help: If you forget your administrator password -
i just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. when i transferred data from my old macbook over, it created another user name (i called it "old computer"). That's actually good--I'm not going to be accessing old files frequently--except for music, which i want on my new user name. How do i move files from my "old comp" account to my new one? Is there a way to easily move large #'s of files, or just one by one? I've googled extensively but can only find instructions for OSX 10.6 and previous, which talks about the "Shared folder," which I can't seem to find.

That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over. -

I just bought a new Macbook air 3 weeks ago and now there is out a newer model
I just bought a new Macbook air 3 weeks ago here in Thailand and found out that since 3 days the new ones where lunched. is there a chance to get the new one for no charge? it happend to me with the iphone in the US before and apple changed it to the new model for no charge. But does this service work for Thailand too??
After 3 weeks, probably not, but it's up to you to at least try. If you purchased your computer through Apple's online store in Thailand, there's a phone number you can call. If you purchased the product through a premium reseller (iStudio, for example), you should take it back to the store. If you purchased it from a dodgy storefront in Pantip Plaza, or MBK, you can always ask...but, I'm guessing that they won't help.

I just bought a new macbook pro 13-inch 6 days ago. I ran coconut battery test and it says age of the macbook is 22 weeks. It shows 4 battery load cycles and battery capacity is 96%. Is this all normal? Does anyone have same issues?
"Is this all normal?"
Yes.
"Does anyone have same issues?"
What issues?
Coconut indicates an approximate battery capacity, and 96% is excellent. During testing and run-in, the MBP is charged and discharged, and a cycle count of 4 is appropriate. -
I have bought a new macbook pro retina 13. I am not too familiar with Mac yet. I had an apple account with my iphone 4 which I stopped using a month ago. Now when I was trying to download the apps from that account but I dont know how to do this and I am unable to do so. I would be grateful if anyone can advise me with regards to this?
You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
The store on your MacBook is only for Macs. -
Hi,
I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" with SSD 256 Gb and its almost a brand-new (the 4th time to use the device) a while ago i was trying to connect to my home wireless network it said that the connection is timed out so i clicked the airport sign on the top it said that your airport is not configured then I restarted the system but it didn't restarted it showed the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for more than 10min so I tried the force shutdown by pressing the power button till it switched off I waited for 5min then pressed the power button to start or boot the system and again the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel, I waited for more than 20min nothing changed, any solution please?
Your help is really appreciated"Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
Thanks really appreciating your help -
I just bought the new MacBook Air a few days ago and my Internet connection is so slow. My iPhone's connection works fine when connected to the wifi but the MacBook connects for a few seconds then drops completely. What do I do? I tried connecting it to my phone's hotspot and it works perfectly. I'm a new Mac user so I have no idea what to do. I have Comcast xfinity cable and Internet. Thanks for the help.

I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago. I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2). I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on. Very annoying. Suggestions please?
What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on. -
i just bought a new Macbook Pro and loaded all my info from My old Macbook...now i can't remember for the life of me my Admin Password (which i created 3 years ago)...is there ANY WAY to bypass this on my new Macbook Pro and begin again...?
I assume that you don't have the installation discs, so:
1. Reboot
2. Hold command + s key down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get a text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
(Type these commands very carefully)
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
4. You will go through the setup process again, create a new admin account, login to it and then change your existing account password or whatever else you need to do. You can delete the account you made in this process, or not. -
I bought a laptop Macbook a year ago (January). It had Snow Leopard on it, but somehow the 8.x iPhoto. I just upgraded it and my my 2008 iMac to Lion. The old computer has iPhoto 9.x on it. So I am wondering why it says I have to buy the upgrade for a newer computer? Any ideas? I want to sync my photos with all my devices (Macbook, iPad, iPhone) through the cloud.
Not if you purchased it from the App Store. But if it's part of the iLife boxed set, then you have to repurchase. But you can purchase on the App Store which then lets you install it on as many computers as you own.

hi there, i bought my macbook 1 week ago and its working fine. BUT the fan is always running and it is very annoying? what should i do
Take it back to the store where you bought it for a hardware check and/or exchange/refund.
If they say "that's normal" then get your money back.
Nothing worst than a annoying fan you can't do anything about.
I has a eMac that did that, sounded like a vacuum cleaner running all the time, I'm so glad I trashed it and will never buy a machine I can hear running in a near silent library.
Some advice, the higher end models with a dedicated graphics do tend to operate cooler, it's the one's with only CPU graphics (Intel) regardless if a Mac or PC that tend to make a lot of noise.
Graphics should have never been put on the CPU, it just doubles the heat and doubles the fan noise. -
I Bought a new macbook air and it won't charge my phone. This is the second laptop ive gone through as i got a replacement one only two days ago for the same problem. I need to be able to connect my iPhone so I can download songs etc from iTunes onto my phone. How do I fix this?
Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).
