I have recently bought a new macbook pro because my macbook's screen was broken. I had all my files backed up but when I opened my iphoto library on my computer it  asks me to upgrade the library - which i did, only to find over a thousand photos missing.

I have had the files re-backed up but am hesitant to do the upgrade to my library. anyone have another solution???

How did you have your ties backed up?nhow did you restore them? Have you tried restoring again?

  • I recently bought a new macbook air and I tried to get my music from my iPod, but instead my mac deleted all my songs from my iPod, and I can't get it back. What am I suppose to do?

    I had a bunch of songs from my itunes on my older laptop, and it was no problem to get the songs on my iPod. Now with my mac, I am facing too much problems with getting all my music to my ipod from my itunes. I lost all my songs, and the recent ones still won't sync. Its either I have the songs on my ipod and it can't play on my itunes or vice versa. I feel as though my investment in Apple was a big mistake. I'm having too much problems with it.

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    When you change syncing computers you have to/should have done this:

    I recently bought a new macbook and installed Acrobate Pro. My settings/preferences did not come over and I do not have the same style options for my signature.  It now only allows me three options and the style I have been using for the last year is not there.  How do I add additional options and get my preferred signature style back?

    Hi Amanda ,
    Which version of Acrobat are you using?
    Which signature style are you talking about?
    You can go ahead and try uninstalling and reinstalling it and see if that works for you .
    Use the cleaner tool to uninstall it .Here is the link.
    Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
    You can refer to the following link to re install it .

  • I have recently bought an 8Gb macbook pro. If I update it to mountain lion will it take half of the memory I have?

    Well thats upto you but before any major update a backup is recommended, you should also be backing up your system as a matter of good housekeeping.
    Time machine makes this very easy, you will require an external disk at least twice the size * of your hard drive in you Mac. Connect it to you Mac with USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt, whatever you wish. You can use Time Machine to take a backup of the hard drive.
    If you are unfortunate and have a hard drive fail you can recover all your data very easily.
    Apple also sell a product called Time Capsule http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/ but I just use an External Disk.
    *** Twice the size may be a bit excessive, it depends on how full your hard drive is and how much you expect it to fill.***

  • Recently bought a new Macbook pro...want to swap hard drives with my old macbook pro

    I recently bought a new Macbook Pro:
    13 in, 2.5 GHz Intel core i5
    8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    500 GB HD
    Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
    Mid 2012 model
    I'd like to install the 750 GB HD (with Bootcamp Windows 7 install) from my old macbook pro into my new macbook pro.
    Here are the old computer's stats:
    13 in, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    750 GB (This is a WD I bought and upgraded myself into the old computer)
    Intel HD Graphics 300 384 MB
    Early 2011 model.
    My question is this: the guy at the tech shop said he didn't think swapping out the hard drives would work because the 750 GB HD in the old machine would have the drivers, etc. installed for that architecture. I think he might be wrong.
    My question is this: if i were to swap out the 750 GB HD from the old machine, would I experience any issue in running both Mac OS X 10.8.3 and Windows 7? Or is homeboy right -- is this architecture too different?

    That is normally the case, however Apple has been known to include the drivers for all previous models that can run that version of OS X when a software update occurs.
    One way to find out is to remove the 750GB out of the old machine and use a SATA to USB adapter cable to the new Mac, then reboot holding the option key down for Startup Manager, which the external drive should appear as a bootable option, click the arrow and see what happens.
    Even if it does boot, there is a issue of copy protected apps (and free iLife) not being compatible with that new machine. So you might want to test that for awhile and update etc., before doing a actual hard drive swticheroo.
    Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
    If it doesn't work, you can use Migration Assistant in the Utlities folder and it will move all your apps and files from OS X. (using the SATA to USB adapter)
    A paid program called WinClone 3 that runs in OS X can clone your Windows partition to the new BootCamp parttion on the 500GB drive.
    Windows will complain because it's on new hardware, so you will have to jump through Redmond hoops.

  • I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

    I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.  It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro.  When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device.  I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer.  Any ideas?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time. You can see what content you can download here:

    Or you can just copy the iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, if you still have the old computer and it's in working order.

    I too have just purchased a new pc and want to transfer EVERYTHING from my iPhone to the new pc.  I am unable to access my old pc for the files.  I have been able to transfer what I purchased on my phone but nothing else.  Is there anyway to just transfer everything without having to have access to the old pc?

  • I have recently bought a new domain which is hosted so that I can send and receive e-mails

    I have recently bought a new domain which is hosted so that I can send and receive e-mails & run a webpage. It has POP3 and SMTP settings that I can use to send and receive my e-mails via Outlook on my PC. However, it doesn't work on my iPad. I have changed port settings and appear to be able to send but each time I start the Mail application my iPad reports "username or password incorrect" even though these correctly work on my PC. MS Outlook Exchange 2010 Live Mail works OK with the same settings on my iPad but I would like to get all my mail via the iPad inbuilt application.
    Can anyone help?

    POP3 accounts are really designed only to be used from one computer and some email providers actually 'lock' the account while in use to stop it being used by another computer/device at the same time.
    Try closing Outlook, wait some minutes then try accessing it from the iPad. You may find it works once the POP3 connection has been released.
    Ideally, you should be using IMAP because POP3 is old and not suitable for modern, multi-device usage.

    Pretty sure you didn't.
    You can only purchase a factory unlocked iPhone directly from Apple.

    It is not.

    I have a mac computer 3.2 Ghz intel core i3   with memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3,  I have recently purchased an new macbook and have yosemite software and iCloud .  I can no longer us my mac to open up recent numbers documents from my macbook.  I am unable to upgrade to allow me to get the current numbers version on my mac. What do I need to do to get all my machines woking in harmony again

    On each machine turn on iCloud and sync all the available apps. Apple explains how to set up iCloud in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    After doing this run software update on each machine and install all the suggested updates. If you still need help installing the most up-to-date versions of iLife and iWorks open the Mac App Store - click the Purchased tab and update all that need to be updated.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

    Hello. I have recently bought a new iPod Touch 4G, however my iMac says, whenever I try to sync my music or update it that this device isn't eligible. How can I fix this?

    Try authorize this computer in the store menu in Itunes.  This worked for me. It seems that this is an account problem on iTunes.
