I just bought a new IMAC, but my iTunes account is empty?

I just bought a new IMac, but my ITunes library is empty.  Why doesn't my library automatically come up with my new computer when I log in?

  • I just purchased a new iMac. My iTunes account is missing a ton of music and I cant figure out how to access it. When I try to load music from my ipod to match my imac it only asks if i'd like to sink my ipod with my account. How do I access my library?

    I just purchased a new iMac. My iTunes account is missing a ton of music and only contains "purchased" music. When I try to load music from my ipod to match my imac it only asks if i'd like to sinc my ipod with my account. How do I access my entire library? Thanks

    Unless you subscribe to Match, you will have to transfer your non-iTunes stuff from your old computer:

    If you want to copy non-iTunes music off of your iPod (eg, if your old computer doesn't exist), you'll need to use a third party program.  I don't know of any free ones anymore, but if you google, you can find several in the $19 range.

  • I just bought a new iMac and only have the aperture cd, how do i install aperture 3 back to my new iMac

    i just bought my new imac but i only have the aperture 3 cd and do not have a drive how do i install aperture 3 or where do i download from and then just insert the cd key.

    You either burn a disk image of your CD (using Disk Utility) on a mac that still has a drive and transfer the disk image on a thumbs drive or network, or download the Aperture 3 Trial Installer.
    Download it here Aperture 3.1 Trial
    After running the Trial installer go immediately to Software update in the -menu, and only after updating to the most recent version launch Aperture and enter your registration code to unlock the Trial.  Then launch it by double clicking your Aperture Library or clicking the Aperture icon.

  • My iPod is a 2008 version. I just bought a new iMac. My iphone  and my ipad are connected to the ne w computer , but I can't figure out how to register my old device on the new computer

    I have a 2008 IPod , Just bought a new IMAC. My iphone and ipad are registered but I can't figure out how to add the old ipod.

    What have you tried?
    What happens?
    Error message?
    What does it say?
    Have you copied everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one?

  • I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

    Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system.  10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
    And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines.  Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist.  There are no Firewire to USB cables.

  • I just bought a new IMAC and i want to install the Office Mac 2011, but it doesn´t have a CD unit. How can I do it?

    Howard has the easiest answer. Or at least, cheapest, since you don't need to purchase an external CD/DVD drive.
    The "demo" software from Microsoft's site is exactly the same as what's on the DVD. Install that and activate it with the key in your software box.
    From Microsoft's site:
    How do I install Office for Mac 2011 if my Mac doesn't have a DVD drive?
    There are two options for installing Office for Mac if your Mac doesn't have a DVD drive.
    Option 1: Convert your Office for Mac 2011 trial. To convert a trial version, you must have a valid product key. The product key will convert your trial into a fully licensed version of Office for Mac.
    1. Locate the 25-character product key in your product package or confirmation email.
    2. Open any Office for Mac application, like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
    3. On the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click Enter your Product Key.
    4. Enter your product key and complete the installation instructions.
    Option 2: If you have not previously installed the trial version, you can download Office for Mac from the Office for Mac website. To download, install, and activate the software you must have a valid Office 2011 product key.
    1. Locate your 25-character product key found in your product package or confirmation email.
    2. Go to www.officeformac.com/download
    3. Click Get Started to start the download process.
    4. When prompted, enter your 25-character product key and select your product language.
    5. When prompted, sign in with your Windows Live ID or sign up and create a new Windows Live ID account.
    6. After you enter your Windows Live ID, you will see a link to download the software. (You will also receive a confirmation email with a link to your My Account page if you prefer to wait and download your software at a later time.)
    7. Click Download Now to start the download.
    8. Save the file to your desktop. Do not change the file name.
    9. When the download is complete, double-click the .dmg file icon on your desktop. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
    10. Follow the instructions in the installer screens to complete your installation.

    The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

  • I just bought a new iMAC. I want to change the password, but the system is not accepting any old passwords.  How do I reset this, so that I can set a password?

    I just bought a new iMAC.  I want to set a password.  But, the system seems to think I already have one set, and I don't know what it is.  How do I reset this feature, so that I can set a password, without knowing the current password?

    Have you yet, during setting up the new iMac, transferred old data and settings from an external hard drive or another computer?  If so, then your computer obtained its current set Password from that tranfer, so you would have to determine what that Password was in the old system.  If you have Not transferred any information that way, then the installation and/or setup seem to have corrupted somehow since it hasn't yet received a new system Password selection from you. 
    At this point, if you can, you can reboot while holding down the Command - R keys to boot into the Mountain Lion Recovery Partition.  There you can select to "Reinstall Mountain Lion from the Internet".  This will overwrite your current installation and any problems that have occured and give you a fresh install that hopefullywill allow you to set up without problems.

    Hi!
    Just for future reference, I've moved my site to http://pondini.org, since Apple is dropping web hosting in June.
    Both sites are active now;  after a few days, I'll put redirect notices on the old one, then leave it there until it goes "poof."

  • I just bought a new iMac last week but there's no iWork (no pages, numbers or keynote ) in my iMac. I understand that these apps i coming free when we bought a new apple product. What should I do or find the iWork for free?

  • Just bought a new iMac today but came with Lion not Mountain Lion..do I really have to pay for the update?

    I just bought the new iMac at BestBuy but it came with OSX 10.7 Lion not OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion..Literally had it 3hrs now... Do I really need to pay to upgrade??

    Go to the App Store, sign in to your account, and on the "Quick Links" on the right, click "Redeem".
    Try entering your "claim number" there.

  • I just bought a new iMac and am ready to purchase Logic Pro X, but I have a Presonus Fire Studio Project with a firewire 400 as my connection.  Will this work with my new iMac?  I purchased the Presonus around 2007.

    I just bought a new iMac 10.9 and am wanting to purchase Logic Pro X. My question is I have a 2007 Presonus Fire Studio Project 8 channel input box that hooks up with firewire 400 I believe, will this work with Logic ProX on my new iMac?

    You will need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter... may also need a Firewire 800 to 400 connector/adapter.
    Also need to make sure Presonus has Maverick drivers for the FSP.

  • I have just bought a new Imac and it will not load my copy of FCE 3.5 as it says "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So how do I get to use the version of FCE I am used to and have paid for ?

    I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1.  Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the 27" screen from your iMac to view and work FCE in the Mac Mini environment);
    2.  Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCE and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly.  There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:

    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
    NOTE 2:  Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.
