If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.

I have a macbook pro with retina (late 2012) what is the best monitor for work?
I would like to purchase a monitor to connect to my laptop with good resolution that will be better for my eyes. Do you think that I will expirience problems If I get a 4K monitor and Ill run it with full resolution @30hz? i do not use any videos in my work or gaming. I am a commercial real estate broker. Just internet use and exel. Thank you in advance
A Dell ultra Sharp would be a good buy. Depending on what size you want:
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-27-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00P0EQD1Q
Otherwise, if you don't mind spending the money, and not worried about not using the monitor to its fullest this BENQ is an excellent monitor

Having trouble sharing iTunes account

I have a MacBook Pro that will not boot up. The apple symbol is there and the spinning wheel keeps spinning. Any idea how I can fix this?
Reinstall OS X.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
OR
Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/. -

We don't know which MBP you have so start by establishing what ports you have on the MBP that you can connect an external drive to. It'll have USB ports, but if they're USB 2.0, a full, bootable backup could take a very long time. If it's USB 3.0, backups can go a lot quicker. The USB external HD's are common and relatively inexpensive. If you have a Thunderbolt port, that's very fast but the externals compatible with it tend to be more expensive.
If it's just USB 2.0 and Firewire, Firewire is faster but is being phased out. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 3.0 so when you upgrade to a newer MBP, a USB 3.0 external can plug right in.
Also, unless the external must be really portable, look for one that has a separate power source rather than drawing power from the connection to the Mac, since some externals need more power than the Mac is able or willing to supply. -
By upgrading my MacBook Pro mid 2012 computer to 16 GB I will have 2 - 4GB Ram chips unused. Can I put those 2 - 4GB chips into my MacBook Pro 2010 computer to replace the 2 2GB chips that are installed in that, which would upgrade its memory also.
You can install them but they will not work. The RAM specifications for those two models are different.
The 2010 MBP RAM specifications are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
The 2012 MBP RAM specifications are: 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

How can I video chat with my fiancee who lives in the Philippines? I have a mac and ipad2 she has a pc? We havew been using Skype but the sound and video quality are not very good. is it because of the distance or because I am not a paying member?
How good are the internet connections you are using?
I've found that a faster connection improves the quality tremendously. I regularly Skype from France to Australia using a 20mb connection (France) and 8mb connection (Australia) and the quality is superb most of the time. When I only had a 1mb connection the call quality was often quite poor.
I've only ever used the free service so I'm not sure paying would make any difference. -
(HELP) Dead MacBook Pro.. possibly something to do with the logic board.
I had been noticing my MacBook Pro's performance degrading lately.. for example whenever I dragged a file into a folder it would lag for 5-6 seconds and then copy over. It started to bug me so I guessed that maybe a reinstall would fix the problem. After reinstalling and rebooting, I got no video on the display.. keyboard wouldn't work.. only things that happened was the disc drive made a sound, light came on the font and could hear the HDD spinning a little.
I then took it to the Apple store as thats what Apple told me to do on the phone. So we took the loverly 3 hour drive(there and back) to the closest Apple store just to have the man take it out the back for 2-3 minutes and then come back to say "It's possibly the logic board that is dead".
I am out of warranty by 2-3 months and so he told me I would have to pay £700 or so to repair. As a full-time student I don't have that kind of money.. I don't even have £60. - I find it annoying how they didn't even fully check the problem out.. just a "possibly the logic board".
So what if I manage to click my fingers and have £700 appear right before my very eyes? I pay for the new logic board just to find out thats not really the problem? or maybe have the same thing happen again right after the 90 days that logic board is covered for? meaning I have to fork out another £700.
I am a massive fan of Apple.. I love their products. I have brought so many products of theirs.. now just 2-3 months after my warranty runs out.. I get this. They didn't even say sorry for selling me a faulty product and didn't offer to help out in any way. When I spend £1,299 on something I expect it to last A LOT longer than a year and 3 months.
I need my MacBook Pro very badly for College but now I can't do my work and if I want to do my work, I have to pay £700 for it.
What do I do? Who do I talk to? Is it possible to get it fixed without having to pay that kind of money?
I can't settle for anything less than a Mac. I love the OS way too much and need so many of the apps that are Mac-only. So no way am I going to forget this and buy myself some cheap PC CrapTop.
- iTomathUnfortunately, if you cannot boot from the disc, it won't be possible to do any diagnostic tests yourself.
It might be worth getting a second opinion. Is there an Apple authorized repair shop anywhere near you? If so, possibly you could take it there and see if they can diagnose it. You may need to pay a small fee for them to do this. But possibly someone might take a little more time with it and be able to give you a definitive diagnosis.
I'm grasping at straws, but you might be able to try resetting the SMC:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
I don't know if this would help or not--there are not many things to do when the computer is unresponsive and you can't use the keyboard or a disc.
Unless the problem was reported to Apple while the MBP was still under warranty, I don't think there is any way that Apple would be able to fix it under warranty. Did you ever take it in for any problem under warranty that might relate to its current situation?
I don't know if you might be up for trying to fix it yourself. If you are, here is a site that might be of help:
http://www.ifixit.com/
You have my sympathy--this has to be an exceedingly difficult situation for you. I will continue to think about this, and will post back if anything comes to mind.
Good luck! -
Macbook Pro + Dual 2.0 G5 -- what's the best setup?
I just purchased a new macbook pro, and was considering incorporating it into my home studio setup which uses a Dual 2.0 (Power PC) G5. I've been hunting around for an answer to how to make the most of these two computers, and I'm getting pretty confused!
I run mostly EWQL Symphonic Orchestra plugs, and would love to get faster performance, and more mileage out of them. I also use two monitors on the G5, and don't want to sacrifice the screen real estate and do everything on my 15" MB pro screen.
So, what I'm wondering, is this: Is there a way to spread out the processing power of these two computers using EWQL SO, and still use my two G5 monitors (and the MB pro monitor)?
Thank you for your expertise!
--DaveSeveral possibilities.
#1. The Mac Book Pro is likely more powerful in the CPU department, so you could load Logic on there along with your plug-ins. Then use the G5 as a replacement for a hardware synth (as an AU/VST host). It will work basically like a Muse Receptor. http://www.museresearch.com/
#2. If you need the PCI slots for DSP cards and/or you prefer to mix the project on the G5, use the laptop as a replacement for a hardware synth. Install an AU and/or VST host application on laptop.
Option 1 and 2 will require that both machines have a MIDI interface and compatible audio I/O. You would basically run MIDI out from the main machine to MIDI In on the AU/VST Host machine, and run audio back to the machine running Logic. RAX2 hosts AUs, http://plasq.com/rax
Steinberg's V-Stack hosts VSTs, http://www.steinberg.net/29_1.html
3. Keep an eye out for a Mac version of FX-Teleport which basically does what Apple's node technology does, but will work with 3rd party plug-ins. Right now I know it works on PC with VSTs. Hopefully their Mac version is coming soon and opens the door for Logic. http://www.fx-max.com/fxt/ -
my macbook pro is slowing down!i was looking for drive cleaning applications bau i couldn't decide which one is more useful!
There are NO applications that will make your MBP run faster. At best they will have no effect, at worst they will create more problems.
Start with this comprehensive trouble shooting document.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3521
Pay particular attention to the Hard Drive and third party applications.

Help me reinstall Iphoto. Apple states that I already have it but since I had my hard drive wiped I don't have it and can't reinstall it...
If you're running Lion then the iPhoto version at the App Store will not work for you as it only runs on Mavericks. What version did you have before this happened?
What system came preinstalled on your MBP? If it was Snow Leopard or earlier then you should have disks that came with your MBP that iPhoto can be installed from. If it was Lion or later then you'll need to contact the App Store personnel via the link in this screenshot,
and see about getting an earlier version of iPhoto, i.e. iPhoto 9.4.3 or earlier.
Or you could upgrade your system to Mavericks for free and then purchase iPhioto 9.5.1 from the App Store.

Does any have their MacBook Pro retina 2012 freezes up then desktop blue screen for 15-20 seconds?
I have been having issues for months now. My MBP 15" is freezing up after I stop typing in any application. I cannot do anything. Then after 20-30 seconds my desktop goes to a blue screen then comes back after 20-30 seconds. Just did it now when I stopped typing. Went to the Genius Bar they reload the software but it's still happening. Currently on Mountain Lion.
If you like you can also restore, via Disk Utility, the DMG onto another disk, but you will be able to read the contents, simply mounting the volume inside any version of OS X.
^ What do you mean by this?
Also, It says on here:Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6: How to back up and restore your files - Apple Support
When the imaging process is complete, select the newly created disk image in the device pane. Then, choose Images > Scan Image for Restore... from the menu bar, and let the scan complete.
Quit Disk Utility (press Command-Q). Then press Command-Q to quit the Mac OS X installer; you will be prompted to restart.
Restoring the backup disk image's contents to your internal Mac OS X disk
What does Images > Scan Image for Restore mean?
Also If I erase hard drive and then reinstall mavericks OS X from "command + r mode" and after that hopefully I can get back in would I hook my external hard drive and then open the copy of the "macintosh".dmg and drag everything back on? or...? -

You get one and only one download of audiobooks.
It will only be where you put it. If you bought it on your iphone, then you should have transferred it to your computer - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
