    Hi...
    Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts
    Control-F4
    Move focus to the active (or next) window
    Shift-Control-F4
    Move focus to the previously active window
    By the way...  since you are new to Mac, click a clear space on your Desktop. You should see "Finder" top left corner of the screen in the menu bar.
    Click Help then click Help Center
    As an example type in    keyboard shortcuts
    You can use the Help menu for almost any application on your Mac.

  • Hello,i have a macbook pro and i just recently downloaded facetime, and now i cant use it, it says An internal FaceTime error occurred,i dont know how to fix it, please help.

    hello,i have a macbook pro and i just recently downloaded facetime, and now i cant use it, it says An internal FaceTime error occurred,i dont know how to fix it, please help.

    If your webcam is powered by USB, make sure it is attached directly to your Mac and not a USB hub.  In my case, I had my Rocketfish webcam attached to a peripheral USB hub and it wasn't drawing enough power to operate at capacity.  Therefore, Facetime was quitting on me and giving me that exact error message.  Once I attached the webcam directly to my Mac USB port, problem solved.  Hope that helps.

  • I lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    i lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    Well if you don't have the laptop to get the storage drive out of it, and you don't have any previous backups how do you expect to get the photo's?
    PhotoBooth is just a program, it stores the files on the computers storage drive, if the computer is lost so are your photo's.
    There is nothing you can do to delete or retrieve them using your new computer unless you stored them online someplace.
    DId you save them online? iDisk or something else?
    I don't use such services because my data is mine and not theirs to snoop through, so if your looking for that sort of help I can't assist you any.

    You can't fix it but if you have activated Words autobackup system you may be able to get some of it back.

    All purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • HT1373 I have a MacBook Pro and newer PC. Both are authorized for my iTunes account. How do I copy or download all my library to the PC? Purchased through iTunes and loaded into my iTunes library from CDs I purchased?

    I have a MBP and a newer PC .... Both are authorized for my iTunes acount and have current versions of iTunes. How do I copy all of my iTunes library (purchased and uploaded from CDs I purchased) onto the hard drives?

    The best way is to copy the iTunes library from your Mac to the PC, so you will move everything, not only your songs. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751 (You have to do the "Restoring your iTunes Library backup" step on the PC)

  • I purchased a new MacBook Pro, and a 2TB AirPort router. I have a 2007 24" iMac that I have been syncing my phone on for years. Is there a way to network these 3 devices so I can sync my phone on my MacBook and access the iMac data?

    I am not familiar with networking in the least. I feel like, being as it is 2015, this is not an unreasonable request. Basically, I do not make much use of my desktop iMac anymore, other than as a backup computer and to sync my phones. My primary computer is my MacBook Pro. I'd like to make my MacBook my primary computer for downloading music, saving and editing photos and images, and syncing my phones, but i'd like to do so without clogging the hard drive on the MacBook.
    Basically, what I am hoping to do is network my iMac, and MacBook Pro through the 2TB AirPort, and sync my phone through the MacBook without losing all data (ideally, I'd like to be able to sync through either computer at will).
    Additionally, something like 100GB of images are stored on the iMac, and I specifically purchased the MacBook with the upgrades to do image editing on, but again, I don't know how to transfer the data to the AirPort, and I don't want to slow down the MacBook by storing all of the data on the laptop.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • TS3989 I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my macbook pro and I just got 2 iPhones for my family and only one streams photos to iCloud photo stream.  Both iPhones have the same Apple ID and have Photo Stream turned on.  Shouldn't both iPhones stream ph

    I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and on 2 new iPhones that have the same AppleID as the MacBook Pro.  However only one iPhone will stream photos to iPhoto on the MacBook Pro.  All these devices were purchased in the last 2 weeks.  What setting is wrong?

    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • I am installing windows 8 on MacBook pro- and it asked me to reboot, I have done that and now not working. Please help, I am installing windows 8 on MacBook pro- and it asked me to reboot, I have done that and now not working. Please help

    The computer then shut down then came up with the message No bootable device---insert boot disk and press any key.  I have inserted the disk and nothing is happening.  Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Bootcamp will support your MacBook Pro, and 32 bit versions of windows 7 for sure. To find out if you can run 64 bit versions go through the boot camp assistant on your mac, partition the disk, and it will list compatible operating systems. Windows 7 will still work even if it's not there.
    You can find the type of ram by going to About This Mac in the Apple menu and clicking on More Info…
    Your hard drive will be 2.5" sata drive, though I'm not sure if it's user replaceable on that generation. My friend has a similar one and I think only the ram and battery can be changed on his. Good luck!

  • Airplay mirroring between my MacBook Pro and Apple TV (1080p one) has always worked fine until now. I only sometimes get video but usually just audio. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

    When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

    I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
    I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly!

  • Purchased a 13.3 Macbook Pro and I got charged for softwares I didn't purchase.

    Hi there.  I just purchased a Macbook Pro and I noticed two additional charges on my receipt for antiviruses that I DID NOT purchase. The sales associate told me that I would receive an antivirus software FREE OF CHARGE so I agreed. On my way back home, I looked at my receipt and there was a $2.99 charge for "KASPERSKY IS BOX 2015 3-USER" (SKU 1689012) and a $27.00 charge for "KASPERSKY IS 3 USER 6 MONTH"(SKU 5871467).  However, the Kaspersky software (SKU 1689012) was in my bag. But SKU 5871467 was not in my bag. I DO NOT want any of these softwares. I trusted the sales associate about my purchase so I didn't think I had look at the receipt before leaving the store. The sales associate LIED about the free antivirus software and charged me for software that I didn't even get. I don't want to travel 90 minutes back to store. Is there a way for me to get refunded for the software that I didn't purchase or receive. Thanks for your time.

    Hello incognito74,
    I’m more of a PC girl myself, but for a while there, I was considering getting my hands on a new MacBook after using one for work a few years ago. While I didn’t end up getting one, I’m glad to see you made the leap and purchased the latest model! It’s disappointing to hear you run across some unexpected charges for an antivirus software though, especially after being told by a store associate it was a free offer at the time of purchase. I can imagine this quickly soured your excitement about buying such a nice product, so I appreciate you providing us the opportunity to look into this on your behalf.
    Upon review of your purchase, it seems you purchased an Apple computer that offers a free 3-user, 6-month antivirus subscription software called Kaspersky. Technically, we’d consider this a bundle offer. As you applied a mover’s coupon to the purchase though, this could explain why you were ultimately charged for the subscription. This is because this particular coupon can only apply to a single item and not a bundle offer. In order to accommodate your exception request to use your coupon, it seems we had to ring up both your computer and your subscription separately, and the unexpected charge subsequently applied. I truly apologize if we failed to properly explain this at the time of your purchase, especially as it sounds like your “local” store is quite a distance away.
    If you no longer wish to have the subscription and you haven’t opened the software, I’d suggest bringing it back into your local store for a refund under your 15-day Return and Exchange Promise. Having said this, I realize your receipt is showing two charges for the software. Please know that these two charges stem from the Kaspersky software you mention receiving, as this is how our systems typically process payment for these types of subscriptions. If the return is made, both of those charges should be refunded at that time.
    Respectfully,

  • MacBook Pro connects with an IP address, but no internet connection to any apps.

    I have tried everything I could think of and read about and am still having the same issues. I access a public wifi hotspot for my internet, but all of my other devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Samsung tablet) work just fine.
    I have tried all of these troubleshooting tips:
    - removing wifi connection in system pref and readding
    - removing system config folder and restarting Mac
    - removing wireless network from keychain and system pref
    - connected to phone hotspot and other wifi connections wits same results
    - verified and repaired disk permissions
    I cant think of anything else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you to all of you who helped.
    Yes, she has a static ip address and a dns entered in on the router - apparently someone else in the household logs in remotely to a work computer. I suggested that she contact the person that set up this secure connection so as not to interfere with anything important. The person did as you suggested - gave her new dns to enter and is going to fix whatever needs to be fixed in order to enable others to log on wirelessly without this situation arising again.
    So thanks for all your input which enabled her to get so quickly to the root of the problem. She is up and running now.
