I bought a second hand Macbook Pro and colorful stud
Only after a few months I decided to reformat it
Bad movie started here I did not get it with a disc and I come to install the operating system
And he asks the name of Apple's user ID financed had been bought Lion OS Now
And who sold me does not answer then I found the phone number of his mother
She said he lived in USA and paid him more than the lion version of the MacBook and now I can not install Lion
And I'm not from USA

Unless you go back to the original owner, yes you need to pay for it again.
You're entitled to the OS that shipped with the device from Apple, but if you don't have that media there's nothing you can really do. If the system originally shipped with 10.7 or 10.8 then when you boot it to Internet Recovery, it will automatically offer you that OS version (as the serial # is registered with Apple). If it shipped with an older OS, then you need to enter the Apple ID that purchased 10.7 or 10.8. You didn't purchase it so that's not you.
The options you have are to buy Lion for $29 US (I don't know the price in Palestine), or Mountain Lion for $19 US (don't know the price in Palestine either), and install from scratch.
And it's a good idea to know you have restore media before you reformat your machine.

I bought a second hand MacBook Air and it won't allow me to install updates as up pops the previous owners log in details. How do I go about amending this?

The seller was remiss in not properly preparing the Mac for sale. That task has now fallen to you. You will encounter continual problems until you perform the following. Ignore references to DVD since the MacBook Air has none.
If you are unable to do that contact the seller and request instructions, or arrange for its return and a refund of your costs.
Refer to What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
If you enabled FileVault, disable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
"Deauthorize" your iTunes account. Same for Audible if you have one.
System Preferences > iCloud > de-select "Back to My Mac" and "Find my Mac".
Sign out of iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
Next: Remove all your personal information by completely erasing the Mac's internal storage.
If your Mac shipped with a grey System Install DVD, start your Mac with that disc inserted in the optical drive while holding the c key to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which should be erased before selling it.
If your Mac did not ship with discs, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
using three fingers press and hold the following keys: ⌘(command), option, and R.
With a fourth finger press the power button to turn on the Mac.
Keep the other three fingers where they are until you see the "spinning globe" icon.
This method forces the Mac to download its originally installed OS from Apple's servers, which will not require an Apple ID to install.
Remove any Open Firmware password if you created one: select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu and remove it.
Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
Remove any partitions you may have created.
Select the Mac's hard disk icon, then select the "Erase" tab.
Select the "Security Options" button and erase the disk.
The more "securely" you erase the disk, the longer it will take.
The fastest method is sufficient since all but the most expensive techniques and equipment will be able to recover securely erased data.
When it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
Select Install Mac OS X from the Utilities menu.
An Apple ID will not be required. If a prompt for an Apple ID appears, return to Step 5.
Do not create any user accounts.
When it finishes, shut down the computer.
If you want to install the bundled apps that were included with your Mac, restart by using your Applications DVD if one was included, and install the bundled apps. Apps bundled with newer Macs that shipped without discs cannot be transferred. Its new owner must purchase them from the Mac App Store using his or her own Apple ID.
If the Mac is being sold to someone outside the family consider the following additional information:
System Install DVDs that came with your Mac should remain with it forever, and must be included with the sale.
Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, printed documentation, even the box if you still have it. AppleCare stays with the equipment and is transferable.
Execute a bill of sale showing the Mac's serial number.
Once no longer in your possession, remove the Mac from your devices in My Support Profile.

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard on both of my computers.
Some time ago, one crashed my computer and I had to reinstall the operating system and all applications.
After I had installed once Acrobat 9 Sdt in the computer, I wanted to update the software version 9.0.0 update to the same level as it was before the crash and that the other computer has version named 9.5.5.
The system for update from version 9.0.0 does not work at all. "There are no updates" listed in the dialog.
Can you advise how I get my Adobo Acrobat 9 Standard (Version 9.0.0) could be updated to the same level as the computer had before the crash.

Hi Tom,
Looks like we have problem here as we see another blank post from you here. It's probably something to do with your email. Let me send you a PM with my email address and we can communicate that way.
Thanks,

Hi,
Unfortunately, the available information is not enough to have a clear view of the occurred behavior. Please offer us what backup method you are using, did you want to backup
the data to the CSV, the origional error you have got.
1. The best method would be to have separate disk drive for each cluster SQL instance and add the disk to the specific SQL group and add it to the dependency of the SQL resource.
There would be less overhead with this process other than having to create two disks, one of each instance
2. You could consider creating a file sharing resource on cluster and add the backup disk to this resource group and use it to back up the databases of both the instances
to single disk. The down side of this method would be, all the databases backups will fail if the fileshare resource goes down. You cannot use GUI to take the backup, need additional setup/maintenance for the fileshare resource group

It's best to describe the problem, in as much detail as possible, rather than your conclusions as to what's causing it or how it should be solved.

The battery in my MacBook Pro 17 requesting assistance only after 277 cycles with a capacity of 9444 mAh

the battery in my MacBook Pro 17 requesting assistance only after 277 cycles with a capacity of 9444 mAh, Is it possible?I performed the calibration, but nothing changes.
MacBook Pro (17 pollici, Half 2010)
MacBookPro6,1
Intel Core i5
2,53 GHz
Memory 4 GB

Batteries will vary in how long they last. Apple will say that for machines built in the last 4 years that the battery may last up to 5 years approximately. However this depends on usage.
You can have someone who never ever uses the battery and only ever runs the computer from the mains and the battery will fail as it never gets used and the cycle count will be very low.
To put things in perspective. I have a 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display (Late 2013). I've had it for probably 8 months and I have 128 cycles on my battery, approx. half yours in a quarter of the time. So if you're not always use the battery it can be affected in other ways.
You can try to see if calibrating the battery helps. Look at http://apple.com/batteries for information on how to do this or try an SMC Reset and see if these make a difference. If not, then seek support from an Apple Store or Authorised service provider.
Hope this makes sense.

Hello, I have a Macbook pro retina-2013. About Mavericks I could set my 4K monitor via HDMI on 2560x1440. This I can not get through at Yosemite. Can someone help me there?

They really pushed that it would all work great! Has anyone had the same struggle? Are there any step-by-step instructions to get linked up?
Call Verizon's wireless tech support & explain your problem to them. They will provide "step-by-step" instructions over the phone.
Take notes too!
TIP: If you do call & don't want to go through all those darn promps, when you initially call, just don't say anything. The automatic voice will then say, "will connect you to a service rep."

I have the original iPad and want to upgrade the operating system and do not have a home computer available to go through iTunes to upgrade it. Is there a place that I can take it to upgrade it for me?

I have the ipad1 and want to upgrade the IOS system and do not have a home computer to do it. Is there someplace I can take it and have it done for me professionally? I checked with Best Buy and they declined.

A physical Apple Store. If you want to do it yourself, you can use any computer with an Internet connection.

Is the operating system installation specific to the particular machine?

If I move the os harddrive (which is leopard 10.5.1 + all applications) into a new machine, would it work? Both are intel machines and I'm trying to avoid not only downtime in setting it up but also this setup is very stable....BUT I don't want to do this if the installation is specific to the machine on which it is installed and doing it this way would cause me more headaches than time. Thanks

It depends. All new Macs come with a set of Software Restore discs. The version of OS X on the discs is often specific to that model - a special build. The retail version sold by Apple may contain a build that does not work on machines made after the retail version was released. For example, the 10.5 version of Leopard released last October will not work on the 2008 models because the new models require a later build (or even a later version.) The Early 2008 Mac Pros are delivered with a version of 10.5.1 that is not the same as the version installed by the 10.5.1 standalone updater.
It's reasonable to assume that whatever version of the operating system is on the gray labeled discs that come with a Mac, it is not compatible with a different Mac model.
Furthermore, if you install any version of OS X on one computer you cannot install that same version on another Mac at the same time without violating the license agreement unless you have either a Family Pak 5 machine license or a site license.

I am unable to download the programs onto my laptop. I keep getting a message that says the operating system no longer supports the programs.

I need help, i am not sure what operating system needs to be installed. I have a mac and the operating system is up to date.

Creative Cloud programs are not spec'd to work with Mac OS X 10.6.8. You would have to upgrade to at least version 10.7. You should check the system requirements for all of the programs you wish to install to see what the minimum is that would cover all of them. Just Google "InDesign system requirements" to find them for InDesign, and repeat for the other programs using their names instead of InDesign.

I have just bought a 2nd hand MacBook pro and need to wipe the previous owners details. How do I do that?

Hiya, so I've got this old MacBook Pro and need to wipe the admin user but have no password to work with. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to get rid of her and set myself up please? Thanks.

You will need the original Tiger installation disks. Insert the install disk, open Disk Utility from the UTILITIES menu, erase the HDD and inatall the OSX. That will create your own Apple ID. The second option is to use a retail Leopard or Snow Leopard disk instead, but they do not come with all of the applications.
