If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

I have just purchased Real player 15sp but it does not seem to recognise Firefox13? and I cannot use the extra functions that it has. Example I cannot download videos. Thank you.

Cannot download videos
This is caused by the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension. To fix it, disable the extension.
The RealPlayer plugin will still work.
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
Select RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin.
Click on Disable.
Click Restart Now to start Firefox with the extension disabled. My add-on manager says the add-on is disabled.
I tried this and it didn't work, what else?

I have just purchased a Macbook pro, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone, Ta

Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta

The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB.

I have just purchased OS X Lion but it does not download although it appears in my purchases. Any tips to get the download active? GJ

I have just purchased OS X lion via App store. this shows as a purchase but it does not download after hitting download button in recent purchases in App store

Hello Gregory,
If you have properly upgraded Snow Leopard to 10.6.8, say with the combo updater v1.1, Lion should run comfortably with 4GB of RAM on your model.
You may be able to inject a further 2GB of Ram and to check that, go to Crucial.com and feed in your Machine specs. The site has a tool which will confirm the maximum amount of RAM you can fit.
It's not too difficult to fit by yourself and Crucial give instructions how to do it.

I have just purchased a macbook pro. I downloaded two sd cards, one via lightroom 4 and the other via iPhoto. I can't find the latter card when I try to import via LR4. In fact i can't find it at all unless i open iPhoto. where is it?

Good Evening, I have just purchased a Macbook Pro, and have downloaded two SD cards of a trip to USA and Canada last September. One via Lightrooom 4 and the other via iPhoto. I tried to import the SD card via iPhoto into Lightroom 4 but could not find it. I tried to find this "folder"? via other means with no success. however when I open iPhoto, there it is, so it must be on the Hard Drive somwhere??? I am new to Apple having decided to jump ship from Windows. Would be grateful for any help.

iPhoto is a - like Lightroom - Photo Manager. It's a database. Like any db to get data out you have to export it.
File -> Export
and in this case set the Kind to Original.
iPhoto is a $15 app, LR is somewhat more expensive. As they both want to manage the photos there's no good usage scenario where you use both. Pick one horse and ride, essentially.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

I have Lightroom 4 purchased in disk download format. I am considering purchasing a MacBook Pro but this doesn't have a CDRom. Can I use the serial code to download on to MacBook via the internet? I have only used the disks once for my iMac.

I have just installed mavericks OS.My epson printer does not want to work with it .What can i do?

I HAVE JUST INSTALLED MAVERICKS OS.IT APPEARS IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MY PRINTER WHICH IS AN EPSON WORKFORCE PRO WP-5630 SERIES 2.What can i do about this problem?

Hello Baldy7,
It sounds like after updating to Mac OS X 10.9 your printer is no longer working with the computer. U want to recommend these steps from the article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Additional Information
Note: If your printer is wireless-capable, you should first add the printer to your network. Use the printer's control panel, or temporarily connect the printer to your Mac via USB. For more details, see this article.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

I was just given a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro. It does not have a system on it.

I have my original disks from my early 2009 MacBook Pro. When I try to use the OS Install disk to install 10.5, which is what the early MacBook came with, it won't boot the computer. I have the upgrade to 10.6.3, but it will not work either, since it is only an upgrade.
I have 10.6.8 backed up to an external disk, but I want to have a different administrator name so we don't get confused. I have used the backup to at least get the mid 2009 working. I am unable to do an Erase and Install, which is what I want to do, even though there is nothing there.
Here is the Hardware Overview from the mid 2009:

Is there any fix? Are the earlier, early 2009 disks incompatible with the mid 2009? Am I stuck with having the same Administrator for two computers? Does anyone have any suggestions?
There are compelling reasons that I don't want to upgrade past 10.6. I won't be able to get at MOST of my data because of Apple no longer supporting Rosetta. I have two other computers running Mountain Lion and Mavericks, but want to keep 10.6.8 on the MacBook Pros early and mid 2009.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Or you can purchase replacement discs from Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

I have just upgraded to firefox 4, but it does not load up when i press icon

originally, i upgraded directly frm firefox site and it launched. then after shutting down, it has not loaded up since. i have deleted the old firefox off my laptop and attempted to re-install, but no luck. it still does not load up.
i have windows 7, and see the spinning wheel (like it is doing something), but nothing happens.

Just for starters see if you can get Firefox going. Instead of double Left clicking, Right click on Firefox icon>Open.
If that doesn't work, try opening via Firefox in the Start Menu or Programs List. If that works try creating a new desktop icon.
Then you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode - Hold down the Shift Key as you double click on the Icon> don't check any of the boxes on the page that appears>Continue. You have now disabled all extensions and also Hardware Acceleration.
Make sure your plug-ins such as Flash are up-to-date.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
You should look up "Problematic Extensions"
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions ,
and try disabling third party toolbars.
If Firefox works in Safe Mode you have a culprit or conflict. If you are able to, you disable and re-enable extensions progressively until you find the problem. you will need to work your way through this -

My Macbook Pro, circa 2007, does not start up correctly. It gets stuck opening Finder. Does this sound like a Hard Drive or other hardware?

Hello. Need a little help. My Mac Book Pro is having start-up issues. I am running Snow Leopard on this computer. It is bootcamped up to run a PC portion as well. I started having this problem a few weeks ago. I tried to back up the drive, but it would not even let me do that. I wiped it clean (I had a relatively new back-up and it is secondary computer) and reinstalled the OS. It worked well for a couple of days, but started getting held up with opening the Finder on start-up and it woudl just get stuck. I am more than willing to pull the drive and install a new hard drive, but that might not be the main issue so I am looking for some assistance before the next wipe out.
When it was working for a couple of days, I tried to install OS X Lion, but it would not allow me to do so (some installation failure).
Anyway, should I retire this computer or install a new harddrive....
Any advice is welcome.
Dan

a brody, I will take a look. The internal drive works (i.e., the battery, it spins, etc.) it just has a bit of trouble recognizing all CD's so I tend to use the external one since it works consistently. Do you still think this might be the issue? The apple store told me a week after my extended warranty ran out that the drive should be replaced but that an external drive is not an isse, but that was a while back and this problem just started.

I have just purchased a Macbook Pro 13 inch from the US and wondered if apple will swap my american charger for an english one?

Will a UK apple store swap the amercian charger for an english one?

The charger is international - you just need the correct prong adapter. Should be able to get one in any DIY shop.
