I have a Mac Book Pro but it says it can't upgrade to Lion, do i have to buy a new computer? How can i upgrade? I want to be able to use iCloud on this computer too.
I have a 2GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro with Max OSX version 10.6.8
I would like to upgrade to Lion but it says I can't .
So can I? how ?
I would like to be able to use iCloud on this computer too.
Thanks
The minimum requirements require the intel core 2 duo processor.so I am sorry to say that you will need to update your mac if you want to run Lion and iCloud. Apple's http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html page for osx gives the minimum requirements.

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!
Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

Hi
I have a Mac Book Pro
My Mac Account/User Profile is playing up with some programs (they fail to open etc)
I've created a new profile and all work OK
I need to remove my old profile but still access my Itunes and documents etcHow old is the MacBook Pro? AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

I have a mac book pro but I'm sing some keys from the keyboard
How can't I get my Keyboard replace?
Hi. Are you saying that you are missing some keys on the MBP? If the keys are missing, but the keyboard works ,then all you need is the missing keys. If you know what keys are missing you can buy them on Ebay and replace them Look at or look up keyboard for your MBP and write down what keys you need. Here is a link that shows how this is done. http://www.insidemylaptop.com/how-to-repair-damaged-key-on-macbook-pro-keyboard/ This most likely cheaper than replacing the entire keyboard.

please help
It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

When I open Itunes it displays only on 1/2 of my computer screen, is there away that I can make it display on my full screen, check the full screen window function does not do anything, all my other's display fine it's just I tunes " Help"
Did you try dragging the corner to stretch the screen? Or the green traffic light?
If so, try pressing the green traffic light while holding the option key... or delete the .plist for iTunes or edit it manually. -
I have a mac book pro 2012 mid
hi
I have a mac book pro but my mates have pc and alein ware they play games i really can't get a lot of game on my mac
Shall i sell it or keep it? it has still got it's value, i'm a gamerThe link I gave you on my first reply will give you more information.
As you have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, you can install a 64-bit Windows 7 or 8 version. In both cases, you have to buy a System Builder version or a full version. You can get them at Amazon or NewEgg.
After getting it, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow its steps. You will have to download the Windows support software, and find here the Apple's steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf -

i have a mac book pro, an ipad and an iphone. i have an icloud account that allows my iPad and imac to sync. but my mac book only has a connection to 'mobile me'. how can i include my macbook with my other devices? help! thanks
You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud. The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

Apple keep telling me I need to update to icloud but I'm not sure if Lion will work on my Mac. I've upgraded to snow leopard which seems to have knackered my .me or .mac account (whatever it's called now), so I don't seem to have any option but to upgrade to Lion if I every want to see my emails again.
Apple say I must have a Intel Core 2 processor for Lion to work...... at least I think that's what they say.
I have a mac book pro, 2006 with an 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, can I update to Lion?Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
If you have a Core Duo model then you cannot upgrade to Lion. You can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but iCloud is not available for Snow Leopard.
Open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. Look for the Model ID in the displayed information. If you have a MacBookPro 2,1 or later then you have a Core 2 Duo model and can upgrade to Lion. -
My Mac book Pro has been stolen on 22nd Sept 2014 in a train.I have activated i cloud on my mobile but it is not activated on laptop. I lodged an FIR in the police station.Can i trace the laptop??
<Personal information edited by Host>If you didn't have "Find My Mac" enabled under the iCloud System Preferences pane, there's likely no way to trace your machine over the Internet.
Sorry,

I have been trying import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. I have been successful doing this in the past, but now it is not working. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, (mavericks), iMovie 10.0.2. Everything in iMovie looks like it is working. It reads "recording" in the upper left hand corner of the pane while the video is playing. When I stop the process to check on my clip it says that the file is empty. The only thing that has changed since I did it successfully is that I upgraded to mavericks from whatever I had previously. My system is about one year old. Any suggestions?
Hey, Clinton,
Thanks for your help! I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video. I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support. They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded. That didn't change anything. In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge. But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2.
1. Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
2. Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
3. Close iMovie 9
4. Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
5. File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events. Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.)
6. Select the clips and import. Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
You may get a message that some files cannot be imported. Click continue import. It's a little glitchy. It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too. On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy. In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
Hope this additional information helps somebody else. Thanks again, Clinton for helping me! -
I have a new movie rental in my iTunes account on my Mac Book Pro but does not show up on Apple TV. All my other purchased movies are in there OK. Any suggestions?
It won't show up on your Apple TV until it is fully downloaded into iTunes on your computer, have you done this.

I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal.
I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?Some things you can try.
