I just got a Macbook Pro and I dont know if....
I dont know if it comes with OS X LION instaled.
Hi,
If it was purchased in the last 1 month then you will either have OSX Lion or you will be elligable for a free upgrade.
To find out if you have it installed click on the apple logo at the top left of the screen, and from that menu select "about this mac"
Apple operating systems are nicknamed after the cats, tiger - leopard - snow leopard and now Lion. There actual names are OSX 10.x.x
The actual name that you will find for Lion is 10.7.? Snow Leopard (the previous version) is 10.6.?.
The ? is the number of the latest version of that particlular operating system. you do not need to worry about this one.
if that is a bit confusing you can go to the apple app store on your mac. Select the Lion download. It will have a button to buy the software, if this button is greyed out and has installed instead of Buy Now, then you have it installed.

I just got a macbook pro and I dont have Idvd on it? How and where can I get it help me please!
Please help me people NOW i need it for tomorrow for graduation!
Do you have a older Mac that had iDVD on it? If you do you can try copying the application and the iDVD folder (located in the ~Library/Application Support folder) from the older Mac to the same locations on the new MBP.
Otherwise you'll have to purchase a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer and install it from there. Why 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left. Do I need to start completely over and delete the content in my new library to prevent duplicates or is there a way to continue the process?

I just got a MacBook Pro and and Screen Cracked? Help?
JUst got a MacBook Pro and my friend, kinda Droped it. Any Help for replacemnt. Is it possible to get a free replacemnt.
The way to get a free replacement is to have your clumsy friend buy a new one for you. There's no other way. The warranty doesn't cover your computer against clumsy friends — only manufacturing defects.

i just got a macbook pro and i put my icloud information in and i can't find my music, tv shows or even movies in itunes
Music and other purchased media doesn't sync to your Mac from iCloud, it must be downloaded to your iTunes library, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.
If they are on an iOS device, they can also be transferred to your iTunes library by opening iTunes on your Mac, authorizing iTunes for all Apple IDs used to purchase the media in Store>Authorize This Computer, then connecting your device to your computer and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. -

Thanks for any help with my apple id delima.
You can set up an iCloud account which makes the iCloud email address you choose the Apple ID and thus the login for it:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
though I have to say I think it's more sensible if the ID is another address, both for security reasons (so people don't know what the login is) and as a contact address from Apple if the account were to stop working and they needed to contact you. So personally I would to to System Preferences, enter the GMail address which is an ID, and then choose a nerw @icloud.com address.
If she has her own iCloud account she will need either her own computer or her own user account on your Mac to be able to make use of it. You should note that under Apple's terms of use Apple IDs are only available to children of 13 and over.
As to purchasing apps, this is nothing to do with iCloud: it's iTunes, and the login can be different. So you can all sign into the same iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts. Or she can have her own iTunes account if she is of suitable age (credit card needed for purchasing apps).
If you have other children you should be aware that any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts - this is tied to the serial number, not the user account, and once reached cannot be bypassed. You can of course sign into an iCloud account created on another device.
