I have a new Mac and when i shut it down it takes to long to power off, why?

In case you wonder why i shut down mac , it is because i need to use windows too.

    Take it to Apple and purchase an out of warranty replacement for it.

  • I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    The best solution:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    An alternative which is really not what you should have to do, or the way it is intended to be done, if you properly manage your computer and backups:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above).  For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up.

  • In pages I have the new logo and when I try to open a document it says I need an update to open.  My computer says pages has been updated.  Any suggestions?

    I am unable to open certain documents in Pages.  A number of documents in Pages have the new logo and when I try to open it, I am prompted to update, yet my computer says Pages update is installed.  Not sure how to get around this?  Thanks

    You are not on OSX 10.7.4, you are on OSX 10.9.
    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    The newer Pages 5 in your Applications folder which can open the older Pages '09 but frequently alters/damages the file.
    The older Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder which can not open the newer Pages 5 files.
    You appear to be alternately opening one or the other.
    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

    Best is to archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting its files back to Pages '09 versions, then rate/review it in the App Store, and get back to work.

    Use Migration Assistant on your new Mac:
    Click Continue:
    On the next screen, choose your Time Machine backup disk.
    Don't bother to migrate Applications unless you know they will work on your new Mac. For example, PowerPC applications won't work. Just migrate your user account which will copy all your photos, music, movies, and other documents.
    Note: you will not be able to migrate the information to same account in which you are already logged in. Migration Assistant will tell you that and recommend what to do. It can migrate the information to a new account, but you will have to give it a name you might want to change later. One way around this is to create a temporary account, log in to it, and run Migration Assistant which will replace your normal account. Then, log out of the temporary account, log in to your usual one, verify everyting works as you expect, and delete the temporary one.
    All this can be avoided when you set up a brand new Mac by running Setup Assistant which essentially does the same thing to create your new account, but most people are too excited to do that and elect to migrate later.

  • My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

    Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
    You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
    If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

  • I have a new phone and when asked do iwant to start this as a new phone or do a back up from my last back up. i chose the last back up option and it has taken all my recent photos texts and call off and replaced them with ones frow about 18 months ago.

    I have a new phone and when asked do i want to start this phone as a new phone or back up from last backup, i chose to back up from last back up and have had my recent photos texts and call replaced with ones from about 18 months ago. is there any way of undoing this?

    A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":

  • My pc crashed and I lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc.  Now i have a new pc and when i connect to itunes using my password all my music and photos are not available.  they appear to be lost.

    my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available.  I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth.  I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not.  So what do I use so that when i lose data on  my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/

    Your content will only be where you put it.  It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
    You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
    You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
    You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

  • I have a new mac and wanted to bring over my Design suite CS 4. I downloaded photoshop but it says "Setup" can't be opened because it is from an unidentfied developer.  Anyway to install tis? I have the serial number

    Anyway, I downloaded it all but just photoshop I downloaded separtly, It is really the only one I use. Seems my old OS was to old and my new is too new?
    I have a new mac and wanted to bring over my Design suite CS 4. I downloaded photoshop but it says "Setup" can't be opened because it is from an unidentfied developer.  Anyway to install this? I have the serial number for my orginal CS4 design suite.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you have the suite then you have to download the whole suite otherwise the Serial Number will not work, if you only download Photoshop. Once you download the suite you can choose to only install Photoshop and use the Serial number you have.
    You can download from here.
    Download CS4 products
    If you get the message:Setup" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer , You can follow Fix the “App can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer” Error in Mac OS X .
    **You can change it to MAC App store and identified developers afterwards.

  • I have a new mac and want my old photoshop on it , how get i the old serial key for the new ?

    I have a new mac and want my old photoshop on it , how get i the old serial key for the new ? My old mac is deleted ...

    We would need to know the version of Mac OS you are running and the version of Photoshop you want to install.
    The serial number is the tricky part. If you have no idea where you placed it and did not register your product with Adobe, your chances are very low of retrieving it.
