I have no idea where to post my question

I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro. I have so many problems trying to get up and running with this machine, I don't know where to post my questions. My mouse doesn't work right any more, the thing doesn't recognize my printer any more, it won't launch my scanner any more... I have been at this for 4 days now. I just don't know where to begin to ask my questions here I am having so many problems getting this brand new machine to work.
I was migrating from a Powerbook G4 that worked beautifully. As soon as I got this brand new Macbook Pro and tried to use my Kensington wireless mouse, my HP Laserjet, and Epson flatbed scanner, it seems like the new machine just won't work with any of these items and I don't know where to begin to ask here.
It took 2 days to get Apple mail working properly on this new Macbook Pro and even my ISP was baffled by the problems encountered.
Could someone please tell me where I can post my question here about how to get the above stuff working with my new Mac? I am completely exhausted and ready to just return the whole thing.

Actually Human,
Here are some possibilities.

  • I have no idea where to post this but does anyone know...

    if os 10.5 will run on PPC processors?
    sorry if i posted this in the wrong place

    If it does not, I would strongly suggest getting some good ear plugs to protect yourself from the huge screeching noise that will emanate from the home/office of every PPC Mac owner in the known universe.

  • I have no idea where to post this, but I can not delete TextEdit files.

    Tried dragging to trash, doesn't work. Tried highlighting the file and hitting delete, doesn't work.

    Try get info - command + I - and see if you have the permission to read & write textedit files. If you have read only, then you can't delete. You'll need to fix that.

  • I have no idea where to start

    okay, hi! i'm trying to write a vending machine program for a class i'm taking. i have a text file with names, image URLs, and prices. I have a product class which is supposed to use filereader to read the fields in the text file. The product class is going to be loaded by the main VendMach class file, where i will have all of the main ui stuff written. The last file is the MoneyInOut class, which handles all of the money methods. i've got the majority of the UI file done, the text file is ready, and the money file is almost done...everything is hanging on whether or not i can write the product file. i have no idea where to start. any help would be greatly appreciated. i'm not looking for somebody else to write my code, but a point in the right direction would be great! here are the UI and text files:

    // 3. fix the Quit from program, it doesn't work right.
    // 4. Put in the code for doing Maintenance.

  • Hi, I cannot restart or shut down my MAC and get the message Geneio.it installer is cancelling your request. Please shut down and retry. However, I cannot seem to exit that application and I have no idea where it came from. Thanks

    Could this be a virus?

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • I was given an assingment, but have no idea where to begin. The assingment is to create a text file using notepad with all of my digital inputs and some how make those imputs show up on my digital indicators on my control pannel

    I was given an assingment, but have no idea where to begin. The assingment is to create a text file using notepad with all of my digital inputs and some how make those imputs show up on my digital indicators on my control pannel.
    When it was explained to me it didn't sound to hard of a task, I have no LabVIEW experience and the tutortial sucks.

    StevenD: FYI, I did NOT give you the one star rating. I would never do that!

    Ow. Someone is grumpy today.
    Well, this is an assignment, so it is probably homework.
    Why else would anyone give HIM such an assigment, after all he has no LabVIEW experience and the tutorials are too hard for him?
    This would make no sense unless all of it was just covered in class!
    This is not a free homework service with instant gratification.
    OK! Let's do it step by step. I assume you already have a VI with the digital indicators.
    "...but have no idea where to begin".
    open notepad.
    decide on a format, possibly one line per indicator.
    type the document.
    close notepad.
    open LabVIEW.
    Open the existing VI with all the indicators.
    (are you still following?)
    look at the diagram.
    Who made the program?
    Does the code make sense so far?
    Is it a statemachine or just a bunch of crisscrossed wires?
    Where do you want to add the file read?
    How should the file be read (after pressing a read button, at the start of the program ,etc.)
    See how far you get!

  • First question - I have Acrobat 9 on my desktop and the license seems to have been messed up.  I tried to download and fis but I asked me for a disk.  I don't have any idea where the "disk" is.  Can I get the license update without that disk?

    Second question - In anticipation of not being able to do that, I bought (at University bookstore) Acrobat XI Pro - do I need to uninstall the 9.0 Pro version before I try to install the XI version?

    If you still have your serial number for Acrobat Pro there is a link to the installer here:  Download Acrobat products | 9, 8

  • I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x.  Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications.  Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures.

    I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x.  Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications.  Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures. In fact, iPhoto indicates that I have zero photos in the library while at the same time indicating the file size as 12.5 GB.

    If your old iPhoto version was iPhoto 7, you need to run the iPhoto Library upgrader:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1523
    It will install itself in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
    Run it, and after that, you should be able to open your iPhoto Library with iPhoto '11.

  • HT5262 where does the information get stored when you back up your i-phone? It just reports its done but I have no idea where to find it if I need it again!

    Where does the information get stored when you sync/back up your i-phone. I have no idea where to look if I need it again!
    Thanks

    You can chhose the backup when you would reset your device. In this case you would get the option, during the set up process, to choose your backup and restore your device from it.
    (You can find a few information e.g. size and date of your backup in "Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage")

    If he gets another device - you should be able to restore it from your computer to the point where you backed it up
    Otherwise that file cannot be read
