I just bought a new Mac, and i cant seem to update to Mountain Lion, any idea's as to why?

i just bought a new Mac, and i cant seem to update to Mountain Lion, any idea's as to why? also i can not seem to download pages from the app store, any idea's on why, please help!!

You need to describe more clearly what you are trying to do and how it is failing.
Was your mac new, or just new to you? What OS did it come with? Lion? Snow Leopard?
Have you already bought Mountain Lion? If so, are you using the same Apple ID that you used for your purchase?
What are you seeing in the App Store? Come to think of it, are in the MAC App Store? (not to be confused with the iTunes App Store!).
If you give answers to these questions we may be able to help!

  • I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • I just bought a new Mac and migrated my CS6 over.  Now when I open it, I'm told I'm running a trial version of Cloud.  Why can't I use my CS6 version that I purchased?  I don't want to pay for something I've already bought.

  • I just bought a new Mac and I want to transfer some data (not all) from my old Mac.  Basically, I want to move my itunes library, iphoto library, and a few documents.  I have not even turned on my new Mac yet.  Is the best way by an external hard drive?

    If both have Firewire ports then you can accomplish your goal by using Target Disk Mode. If this is not possible then you can do using an external drive or if you have a local network connect both to your network and use filesharing between the two computers.

  • I've just bought a new mac and I want to transfer the content from my old Macbook to my new. If I have iCloud enabled on both devices, is this simple, or is there a limit to what I can transfer? For example, can I upload word files to iCloud?

    iCloud is not the way to do this. You should use Migration Assistant - with this you can transfer your complete User folder from the old Mac including preferences and logins. You will need to connect the two with FireWire or USB depending on the models.
    Ideally you should do this before you set up the new Mac - if you create a user account with the same name than the Migration will have to give the migrated user folder a different name. When you first switch on the new Mac it should ask you if you want to transfer your data, and give you instructions.

  • I have just bought the new mac and can't set it up as my main computer for iTunes

    I have just bought the new mac and have synced it with my ipod but the ipod is not the primary computoer for itunes.
    My old computer is the primary one
    I have synced my ipad but the apps did not transfer to my mac
    any help would be appreciated
    thx

    You have me confused as to where the apps really are. You mention iPod and mention that the iPod isn't your primary computer. Obviously, it can't be - its an iPod. I'm not trying to be a jerk - I just dont understand what that means.
    The you say that the old computer is the primary computer for iTunes. That makes more sense. Anyway, you could have transferred the iTunes library from the old computer to the new Mac, but I assume that you did not realize that.
    So ... If the apps are on your iPad - but did not transfer to iTunes when you synced the iPad with the new Mac - transfer Purchases. Connect the iPad to the Mac, launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name on the left and select Transfer Purchases. That will put the apps in iTunes on the Mac.
    Movies cannot be downloaded again for free because Apple does not have an agreement with the movie studios to allow for that. At least that is how I understand the way that works.

  • I just bought a new mac and need to clear the memory of my old one but i don't have a startup disk.  how do i do this?

    I just bought a new mac book pro and need to clear my old mac of it's contents to give it away---  I do not have my startup disk anymore.  How can i completely delete my old mac's memory?

    Erasing your drive:
    Dragging the files to the Trash removes the references to them from the Directory. As has always been the tradition, the data blocks that held the actual data are not over-written, they are merely added to the free list for later re-use. Their original contents are still present.
    Disk Utility "Erase" or "Partition" of a drive (which finishes in under a minute) also does not over-write the data blocks, but merely creates a new, empty directory.
    To clear the data that may still be present (admittedly in a disorganized mess of unlinked blocks) you need to overwrite the data. Use the erase tab, then choose "Security Erase" Options, and overwrite once with Zeroes. This process can take several hours as it is -- if you insist on multiple passes, it can take days to complete, with little additional protection. Multiple passes is unnecessary unless your drive held Military Secrets.
    When you have erased, be sure to install some version of Mac OS X -- a Mac with no obvious Operating software may be dead, and  is much more likely to quickly become landfill.

  • I just bought a new mac and want to transfer my old files. I haven't had any luck with migration. any ideas?

    I have not been able to recover any of my files, primarily my music. I tried using migration and I still havent been able to find it. I used an external hard drive to back up using TimeMachine. any ideas would be great

    There are a lot of unknowns here.
    Is the old computer a Mac?
    Did you manage your music through iTunes?
    If the old machine was a Mac and you use iTunes you should be able to look on the old external drive for a folder called Music. Inside is a folder called iTunes. Copy that folder to the same location on the new computer and your music should be restored. You may have to reauthorize the machine for the music to show up.
    You may also just have to open iTunes on the new machine and drag that old iTunes folder onto the music list in the new iTunes and the files may start importing.

    This article should help. You didn't mention what format the files are in and what format the external hard drive is, however this article povides the basics. You're probably most interested in the last section titled 'Adding content on your computer to iTunes'.

  • 1st generation iPad running iOS 5.1.1 and can't seem to update the iOS.  Any ideas?

    I currently have a 1st generation iPad that is running on iOS 5.1.1.  I have been unable to update the operating system.  In fact, when I look for updates under the general settings icon nothing comes up.  Shouldn't this older iPad be running on iOS 7.0.2 like my new iPad?  Also, I have 19 app updates that I can't even access.  I'm assuming this is because iOS 5.1.1 is too antiquated, thus not meeting the requirements for the other apps to update.  Thank you for any help or advice you can offer.

  • 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??

    I just bought a new iMac and now I amtrying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don’t have a MiniDisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don’t have. Isthere 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.
