I just got a Mac book pro 13 ... I need to remove my husbands cell number from this device but dont know how
Are you sharing the same iCloud account as your daughter? If so, that would explain why your contacts are merged. To fix this, you would need to migrate her device(s) to her own iCloud account. After doing so, you could then delete her contacts from your Mac without effecting the contacts on her device(s).
As far as messages, do you have your own iPhone? -
My wife and I each have an iPhone 4s and an iPad Mini. We have separate iTunes accounts. She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini. Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini. How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?
Thank you for your reply Domingo. Your suggestion worked as far as sending me a link to buy the book at iTunes. But it did not allow me to download the book from my wife's account. I did finally get an answer from Apple. It took an entire day of emailing back and forth and the final answer was relatively easy once Apple finally decided to give up the solution. Basically, you have to open ibooks and sign out. Then you have to sign into ibooks using the book purchaser's Apple ID and password. Then you can download the book onto your device. Not too bad, huh? It only took a whole day of Apple people sending me wrong instructions before they figured it out. Geez. What a disappointing experience.

Hi, i want to buy a mac book pro. I was wondering if the ms office suit that i will buy can be a normal version or a one that has to be compatible with mac?
It must be compatible with Mac OS X. You have to install the Mac OS X Microsoft Office version > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
Also, you can use the PC version, but in this case, you will have to install Windows on a virtual machine or Boot Camp, so it's better to use the OS X version. There are alternatives for Office, like Apple iWork or LibreOffice, if you want to try them before -

Take it back and see what can be arranged. This isn't anything we can assist you with. You have 14 days after purchase to return for a replacement.

After over forty years in IT I am actually a platform agnostic however I have come to expect some developmental maturity across all products, especially in generally ubiquitous apps such as email. I am using OS X 10.8.3 on a 2013 build Mac Book Pro and am very happy overall. Is Apple planning on fixing the various problems with Attachments in Mail or are they relying on third party fixes and workarounds?
My apologies if I have caused offence, not my intention. I was unable to view attachements but have since discovered an addon app which solves the problem very neatly. By way of explanation my frustration comes from Apple appearing to indulge in client lock in as do Microsoft - this practice was "invented" by IBM and only served to irritate clients and inspire excellent work arounds by third parties - much the same as I notice with Apple. I thought Apple would have outgrown this after the IIe vs BBC but I see this is not the case. I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and have no problems with Mail but am now unable to transfer material from Mac Pro to Ipod unless I use the icloud - something I do not want to do for a variety of reasons, not the least being able to transfer MY data without the use of an unsecured transition area. I am very happy with the quality of the Mac Pro but less than happy with the restrictive practices of Apple; I realise Microsoft have similar practises but they are not as completely disruptive to what are generally simple operations commonly required when using computers.
My thanks to all the others who reponded - this is my first foray into the world of forums and I will continue to learn the rules. -

You've already been told that the message you got is a standard feature of Lion, so stop worrying about it. -
Any help?
You may already have one. E-mail servers provide support for POP or IMAP, and sometimes both. How you access the account depends on how you set it up on your device. You'll need to check with your e-mail provider and see if they support accessing your account via IMAP. If they do, you'll need to re-create the account on both the Mac and the iPhone to use the IMAP settings instead of the POP settings. (Note that when you delete a POP account, all e-mail in the In box will be deleted. Move any e-mail you don't want to lose into an "On My Mac" mailbox on the Mac beforehand.)
Also, if you have set the iPhone to sync e-mail messages in iTunes, turn that off. You won't need that with IMAP. -
Downloaded roxio, windows 2011, parallels 8 and toast 11, although found that this did not have blue ray capability so bought toast 11 hd/blue ray plug-in installer. The problem I have is that the samsung se-506 still will not play blue rays, any ideas as to what or where I am going wrong.
Also how do you de-install programmes?
Stuey17Hi Clinton,
Yes your link worked & now watching bd. Thanks for your help.
A couple of thoughts though:
1 Do I still need toast 11, but just for dvd's
2 How do I move the dvd or bd so that I can watch without the driver? Or is it a case that I will als=ways need one?
Thanks again

Is there like a charge or something?
You can't do that at Apple. Apple, however, offers a recycling service, which might give you some $$$ back.

As it says, I got a Mac Book Pro from my company and I would like to update the apps on it. They are registered to a former employee's Apple ID, is there anyway for me to change it to my Apple ID? Or do all of the Apps need to be re-purchased?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You must repurchase the applications because you can't transfer programs from an Apple ID to another one -
I just bought a Mac Book Pro and the Appstore show one upgrade of iPhoto (9.2.1). I started a section with my Apple ID (the account that I have I use to iTunes) but when I try to update it says that there are upgrades available for other accounts and that I have to upgrade using the account that I used to buy iPhoto. What do I have to do to upgrade iPhoto?
Dear Katty,
Thank you very much for your answer! I have 2 Apple ID, and I have tried both of them and the problem continues. I founf several peolpe with the same problem in apple communities foruns and that really seems that there is some problem. I addded the links for 2 of those discussions.

Thank you very much again.

I just bought 15' Mac book pro. as i work a lot on Garageband. I even downloaded all the drummers and loops to update the new Garageband 10.0.1
now my problem is that all my past work which i did on older version on GB, has missing sounds in it. so here are my questions
1. DO i have to install JAMPACKS on my new Macbook pro?
2. Are JAMPACKS still compatable with the new GB?
3. There is an UPDATE on the new GB on Appstore and once i click it, it goes to billing no detail is provided what this update is for so help!

See: This document explains what the in-App purchase is about.
Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase
Do you still have your old Mac?
How did you migrate from the old Mac to the new Mac? Did you transfer your old software and documents using Setup Assistant? Then your old GarageBand '11 version should have been migrated, and all your instruments.
if you did not migrate GarageBand '11, copy your old Instruments Library and Loop Library over from the old mac. Copy the following folders to a thumbsdrive and merge the missing dontents into the corresponding folders on your new mac: (from the system library - the top level library folder on your Macintosh HD):
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/
/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/
And if you would like to continue to use GarageBand '11 for access to missing features, copy also /Applications/GarageBand over, but to a subfolder of Applications. I recommend, to install the old GarageBand as well. It can be used in parallel to GB 10.0, and will come in handy, if your old projects are having problems.
1. DO i have to install JAMPACKS on my new Macbook pro?
2. Are JAMPACKS still compatable with the new GB?
The JamPacks are nice to have, a terrific collection of instruments and loops, but if you did not have them previously, that will not help with your missing instruments. You can instll them by buying Mainstage 3. They work well with GarageBand 10.0
