I got a MacBook Pro for the first time and just install iTunes.... how to I get my purchased songs from my Windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro..... please try to make it easier for me since im new to the Mac OS

1) Copy all music files to a thumb drive / external hard drive.
2) Open iTunes on your MacBook Pro (congrats!)
3) Under the File Menu, select "Add to Library."  Navigate to the folder with your music in it and click "Open."  Bam!  Music.

  • I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen

    I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen since the first screen. I did the start up, but using the comands on the keyboard. I think the laptop is configured to blind people. I just got at the desktop, but the mouse is frozen.

    If this is a new machine, you have 14 days to return the machine for an exchange or a full refund. Your trackpad should work out of the box and what you're seeing onscreen may very well be settings for the partially sighted.

  • Buying a Macbook pro for the first time and i need your opinion

    Hello everyone! I'm buying a Macbook pro for the first time and i need your opinion. I'm a Web Developer / Graphic Designer, and i need this macbook for my work. Currently i have these 2 options:
    1) Macbook Pro with Retina (13")
    128GB SSD, 2.5GHz Intel i5 Processor, 8GB Ram
    2) Macbook Pro i7 (15")
    Intel  i7 2.6 Processor, 8GB Ram, 750GB HD
    So my dilema is. Do i go for the newest 13" Macbook Pro Retina & SSD drive or do i go for the 15" Macbook Pro i7 non-Retina, non-SSD hard drive?
    Help this first time Macbook buyer (me) to decide which model to choose

    is user upgradable. The Retina is not. 
    No matter what for your needs I would max out the 16GB of RAM

  • Anyone still up? I just purchased from the itunes store for the first time, and don't know how to get them downloaded to my ipod.

    Sigh.....really late and I want to go to sleep, but I just purchased some Itunes online for the first time, and I don't know how to download them to my ipod. I've never done it before, and it shouldn't be rocket science, but I can't find anything that tells me where to go to download my songs. It said something about check purchases, but I can't even find that screen.  I connected my ipod to the computer, and now it says CONNECTED...EJECT BEFORE DISCONNECTING. My BF set up the acct when he bought my ipod as a gift, and as I bought these songs for a special weekend I have planned I can't ask him how to do it.  HELP!  For some reason the password I always use is not recognized for my account... and since I can't get anyone from itunes without a proper log-in I'm at the mercy of all of you more versed in tech and itunes than I.  Is anyone still up that can help me out?

    It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
    You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

  • Plugged iPhone 5 in for the first time and it freezes iTunes.  Everything up-to-date.  Any ideas?

    I've connected the new iPhone 5 numerous times.  After restarting both devices.  Updating everything.  I even connected the old iPhone 4 and it works fine.  My computer recognizes the iPhone 5 every time it is connected.  iTunes will freeze right away most of the time when the iPhone 5 is connected, however sometimes I can get to the point to where I can sync the phone.  The sync will proceed for a while, however it either freeze iTunes or show a fail message.  Anyone have any thoughts about or heard of this issue?

    This was the first time I had connected it to itunes as I put it on to charge while using my laptop and as I have an itunes account already it came up for me to register my phone so I clicked yes but not as a new iphone and it wiped off my photos etc....how can this happen when it didn't ask any questions other than register your iphone?

  • I am trying to launch Aperture for the first time and it won't open.  Any tips?

    I am trying to launch Aperture on a MacBook Pro for the first time.  It displays "Opening Aperture Library" with a moving wheel... but nothing happens.  Any thoughts on how to trouble shoot?
    Thanks.

    on a MacBook Pro for the first time.
    What do you mean? Have transferred your Aperture Library from a different machine to a MacBook Pro, or did you just upgrade from a previous version of Aperture?
    If it is hanging on opening your Aperture library, your Aperture library may need repairing.
    Make a backup of your Aperture library.
    Double click the Aperture Library while holding down the option-command key combination ⌥⌘.
    From the First Aid panel that appears, select "Rebuild database" (if you upgraded Aperture), else start with "Repair Permissions" and "Repair Database". See this section in the Aperture manual for how to run the First Aid Tools:
    Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
    If none of this helps, post back please and tell us more about your Aperture library, where it is located, the type of images: raw or jpeg, if it referenced, the exact version of Aperture 3 you have.
    Regards

    I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note.  I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds.  I can't get rid of it.  I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch.  But, Notes will not stop.  It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

    Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

  • When I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass.  What can I do to prevent the condensation?

    When I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass.  What can I do to prevent the condensation?

    This thread and all the followups are hilarious, if it weren't such a serious problem. OP, you may want to add a bit more information on how this drippy screen problem occurs: where do you live, what are the weather conditions, what are you doing with the Mac when it occurs, etc.
    Yes, extreme moisture, to the extent of causing visible condensation, is Very Bad News for any electronic device, and more so with one that isn't tropicalized like the Mac. Besides trying to avoid subjecting it to such extreme temperature changes, using some kind of desiccant to absorb close range moisture and avoidint its use until it dried out, I can suggest placing some kind of absorbent material between the display and the keyboard to prevent the moisture on the glass from finding its way into the computer. Like the protective poliethylene foam protector that came with the Mac when new. Or something like RadTech's ScreenSavrz: http://www.radtech.us/Products/NotebookScreenSavrz.aspx

  • I just got the iPhone 5 and took it on a trip and took a bunch of photos on it. I just came home and hooked it up to my Mac for the first time and hit restore. All of my trip pictures disappeared. Is there any way I can retrieve them?

    Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

  • I just connected my iphone4 to my macbook for the first time and it resored it to the previous settings from my old iphone.  Is there a way to reverse this???!!

    Hey folks, I just connected my iphone4 to my macbook for the first time and it restord it to the previosu settings from my old iphone? Is there a way to reverse this??!!!

    If you want it to go back to essentially Out of Box Factory Settings then you will want to just select the 'Restore' option from the Summary Screen within iTunes. You will be prompted to Restore from Backup or Restore as New, in this case you will want to restore as new.
    If you have previous settings you will need to see if they were backed up correctly before syncing, you can check this in Preferences -> Devices -> Backups and look at the list of backups to see if one coincides with your iPhone 4. If not, then there will be no settings to restore to other than the previously connected iPhone or back to Factory settings.

  • Hi I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked with what shall I do? PLease help

    Hello everybody
    I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked to like if the device was used before what shall I do? PLease reply soon

    I can't do that because the device was purchased from United Arab Emirates and I got it as a gift in Syria but the problem is that there is not even a single apple store in Syria so is there another way to fix that, I googled it and was told to jailbreak the device whitch I did and than hacktivated it but the problem is the device doesn't connect to any network and only shows "no service" and the battery draining too fast so is there any other way to fix this issue

  • HT201210 I accidentally restored my iPhone 5 for the first time and now I have lost all my photos and contacts. How do i get them back?

    So I plugged in my iPhone 5 to my computer for the first time and I accedentally pressed restore. My wife has a iPhone 4s and has plugged in her phone to the computer many times to sync. So when i restored i got all her photos and lost mine which were very very importent. So how do I get my photos back?

    Unless your photos were backed up somewhere, they're gone.  They were wiped off your phone when you restored it from your wife's data.

  • Installed Firefox 3.6.8 for the first time and it keeps crashing

    I just installed Firefox for the first time and when it is finished installing I tell it to start. It tries and as soon as it does I get a crash report. Every time I click Restrt Firefox it comes up with the same crash error, which is the following:

    Any ideas? I have never used Firefox and after 20 years have decided to try something new.
    Thanks for any help.

    You mean out of this whole community no one knows how to fix this ... I wanted to give Firefox a try, but honestly, I am starting to see why I have not switched from IE, it is stable and I get answers when I post to the Microsoft boards as well as the answer to everything I have ever had an issue with is out there ... what is worse is that I am not the only one with this problem and no one can still help because I am sure us five are not the only ones that have run into this.
