I have a Mac Book thats 4 years old, its white.

I would like to know how to download free music and movies, please?

Do you have specific problems downloading?
If you do, and need more help, post back with info about your computer. Click the black Apple icon on the top left of the screen and select About This Mac. That info is a good start to tell us about your computer.

I have a mac Book that will not open DVD's of Business Presentations. I had my hard drive taken in to the Mac Store and had a new hard drive installed. Since then I cannot open DVD's. What is the application that I need, and the process. Tks

I have a mac book that will not open up DVD's recorded with a presentation. I install the disc in a HP / windows 7 and it works fine. I had my hard drive replaced and since then I cannot open up DVD's. Was there a application that did not get installed? And if so what is the process.

You need DVD Player. It should be in your Applications folder. If it is in there go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs and for "When you insert a video DVD" make sure DVD Player is selected.

I have a Mac Mini, 7 years old, new keyboard function keys don't work. How can I correct this?

I've unclicked "use all F1 F2 keys as standard functions" and tried doing fn at the same time as F10 or F11 or F12, but I cannot control the sound from the keyboard. F10 darkens the background. F11 hides the windows I have open. F12 brings up the dashboard. How can I reset these to function as sound keys?

Just tried that. It didn't make any difference. I know it's not the keyboard; I went back to the Mac store and they tested it on a current computer and it worked exactly like it should.
It's a new metallic keyboard, replacing an older metallic one whose x, s, w, 2 keys just stopped working. It's a plug-in, not wireless.

I have a Mac Book that I purchased in 2009 and all of my system updates are good and it keeps shutting off and when in use it keeps asking me if I want to shut it off... Then it keeps turning on and off on its own. What doI need to do?

Please help! I cannot figure out how to get the computer to stay on!

With the information provided, I can only guess. My guess is hardware problems, either bad motherboard or RAM.
You tried running the Apple Hardware Test from the install DVD for you Mac.

I have a mac book with snow leopard. Can I upgrade to the lion os

I have a mac book ( couple years old) and would like to know if I am able to install the lion OS from the app store?

We would need more details regarding your MacBook. But it has to be minimum Core2Duo processor and 2GB of RAM. If you go to the Apple Menu select About this Mac for the info.

I have a mac book pro that both USB ports have stopped working one about a year ago and one recently. Is it possible to connect to another one of the other MBP's ports with a cord that ends with a USB port?

I have a mac book pro that both USB ports have stopped working one about a year ago and one recently. Is it possible to connect to another one of the other MBP's ports with a cord that ends with a USB port?

Thank you For your time and thoughts!
I went by the Apple Store and they told me that there was a "Flat Rate" repair service for this particular part where they would replace the logic board along with the USB ports for $350. Seems like best avenue. All of this would have been moot but my wifi in the computer also doesn't work so I was using my phone as a hot spot and tethering it to the computer for Internet access when the last port quit. This left me with no internet and no printing capabilities on the computer I use for my business. Basically became a nice paperweight. lol
They will ship it off Monday and I should have it back Thursday!
Again, thank you!

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).

I have a macbook pro a year old that has started freezing a lot lately, why is this happening because it has been work great until now, what is the problem?

I have a Macbook Pro, a year old and it's started freezing all the time when I go to open pages, The small coloured wheel comes up a lot of the time, I have Mac Keeper and run this program but it doesn't sem to help. Do I have a problem with the hard drive or something else? This is very annoying.

Mac Keeper is a malware !!!! Read here and unistall this crap >>>
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3027
MacKeeper can be regarded as highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system. It is unethically marketed by a company called Zeobit and a rip-off.
Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware can be read here:

Ok..
Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If nothing helped, since you don't hear the startup chord, make an appointment at an Apple Apple Genius Bar or take your Mac to an Apple certified repair provider.
v10.5.6 is an oudated version of Leopard.

How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

I do not know the iWire adapter, but I use an inexpensive ($3) DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, along with a regular HDMI cable:

Be aware that this will only transfer video. You Macbook Pro cannot combine audio through DVI to HDMI. You will need to listen to the audio through the Mac speakers, or attach speakers or a sound system to the Mac earphone jack, or determine if your TV has the ability to accept external sound from the Mac while showing video through HDMI (few can).

HT204380 i have a mac book pro and a i-pad 2. both of the devices have the same apple id and same mailing adress. if i want to make a face-time call from my mac book to i-pad 2. how can i do that?

i have a mac book pro and a i-pad 2. both of the devices have the same apple id and same mailing adress. if i want to make a face-time call from my mac book to i-pad 2. how can i do that?

You have to add another email address on one of the two devices that you can use as the "You can be reached for FaceTime at" contact address and then remove/uncheck the Apple ID email address as the contact address on that device. The way you are currently setup is like to trying to call yourself on your on phone - from your own phone.
Using the iPad as the example go to Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for FaceTime at>Add another email address. Then add a working email address in the next window. Apple will verify the email. Go to the inbox of that email account, read and respond to Apple's email in order to complete the verification process.
Go back to Settings>FaceTime>Uncheck the Apple ID email address and make sure that the new email address is checked/selected (you will see it being verified again) and that new email address will be your contact address for the iPad.

I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. however when I go to update my software it doesnt show that any update is available.

10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

Hi, the last install dvd that came out for mac's was Snow Leopard,10.6.3. Lion is a download from apple. You cannot just install it over Yosemite. You would have to backup your drive to save files you want and do a clean install. You might want to look into getting more memory. You can run 8 Gig"s of memory on your Macbook Pro.If your Macbook Pro is getting really slow you might want to download EtreCheck and then post the results here.http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck Check out this article. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19031

I have a mac book pro that has become very slow. It has gradually gotten worse over the last 6 months. What can I do to enhance performance and speed?

I have a mac book pro 9,2, with intel corei5, 2.5 GHz., 1 processor, 2 cores, L2 cache (per core) 256KB, L3 Cache: 3MB, Memory 4GB, Boot Rom Version MBP91.00D3.BO8
System Software Version : OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
Kernal Version: Darwin 13.4.0
Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
Boot Mode: Normal
Secure Virtual Memory: Enabled
Regarding the Macintosh Hard Drive:
Available space 208G.66GB , Capacity 499.25GB
Intel 7 Series Chipset, Link speed 6 Gigabit
Apple HDD Toshiba MK5065GSXF, Revision GV201B
Using Kodak ESP Printer 5200 Series AiO
Memory slots Bank0/DIMMO 2GB DDR3 1600MHZ and BANK 1/ DIMMO 2GB DDR3 1600MHz
The problem I am experiencing is a slowness of response between changing from various applications. What steps could I take to clean up the boot speeds, the applications speeds and general performance of the computer? I would like to restore the speeds of that when it was new.
Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
