I password reset my mac book pro now i cant register

It will be necessary for you to install Lightroom from an upgrade installer. An upgrade requires the original serial number from the version that you first purchased, as well as the serial number for the upgrade. The upgrade serial number, by itself, will not work.

    Hi,
    iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
    However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
    In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
    AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat  (Until the 30th June 2014)
    As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
    Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
    Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
    About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
    If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
    In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    (If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
    Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
    Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

    Backup any data you deem important. Insert the installer DVD that came with your MacBook. Restart the laptop and hold down the 'C' key. Progress past the language selection screen until you get to the second screen. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu. Click on the topmost icon in the left hand side bar, click on the Partition tab. Select 1 Partition and select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for the format. Now click Apply. This will erase everything on that drive. When it's done quit out of Disk Utility which should take you back to the Installer Assistant. Follow the on-screen prompts to re-install the Operating System.
    HTH?

  • My daughter reset her Mac book Pro to the factory settings by her doing this did we loose all the pictures and stuff that was on the computer before

    My daughter reset her Mac book Pro to the factory settings by her doing this did we loose all the pictures and stuff that was on the computer before

    If by resetting to factory settings you mean she erased the drive and reinstalled the operating system, OS X, then yes all data thatwas on it is gone. That is why apple included time machine so you can make backups of your data.

  • Two questions, does resetting the Mac Book Pro late 2008 speed up after reset? Also, do i need to remove my WLAN router and get only a plain MODEM when setting up my AIR PORT time machine?

    Two questions, does resetting my Mac Book Pro late 2008 speed up after resetting? Also, do i need to get rid of my WLAN router to make my AIR PORT time capsule work?
    Am grateful for any answers...its a 15,4"...
    Will soon buy a new one, is battery better on 13 than 15 "?
    Have a great day...

    If you mean restoring OS X, that won't necessarily have any effect on speed.
    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow your Mac down.
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

    No need for the WLAN router with AirPort Time Capsule.

  • Factory reset for Mac book pro 2011 with OSX Maverick

    I have a Mac book Pro March April 2011 Model and originally it came with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard  as operating system. Then when OS X Lion came up I upgraded it and now I have OSX Maverick as my operating system. Now I wish to reset the laptop to Factory settings with Maverick as OS. I did Command + R and reinstalled the OS X Maverick. This only reset the OS-X however this not erase any of my apps or any of my other documents. How can I achieve that. All I wish to do it reset my laptop with factory settings but with OS X Maverick.

    Restoring it to factory settings will erase Mavericks and install Snow Leopard; to do this, insert the Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install the OS.
    If desired, you can restart into the recovery partition and use the Disk Utility from there instead, but this isn't an actual factory restore, and the computer can't be sold with a Mac OS X version newer than 10.6.8 on it(or 10.7.5 if you used the Lion thumbdrive to upgrade).

  • If I bought a mac book pro now, could it be possible that apple will stop supporting it in a few years or so ??

    Are mac book pros no use buying as apple could stop supporting them in a few years ??  Will this mean you won't be able to update it ???

    Why are you more concerned now, on the 30th anniversary of the Introduction of Macintosh, than before?

  • I just downloaded the latest software OS X on my mac book pro, now whenever I start my computer I have to wait for windows mac to open up.  The open at login is not even checked.  How can I stop this from happening?

    I have a Mac Book Pro and downloaded the latest software OS X.  Now whenever I start my computer, I have to wait for Windows Mac to do its thing.  I checked and the "open at login" option is not checked.  How can I turn this feature off?  It's driving me nuts!!

    All fixed Barry.  When I went to restart my computer, the question was right there.  Do you want to open Windows when opening.  NOPE!!
    I tried it a few times and thank goodness it worked.  Thank you for your help today.
    Best,

  • We had our MAC book Pro stolen and we registered it with Apple. Is there any way to recover the serial number for police reports if the receipt does not have the serial number on it? Thx

    We had our Mac Book Pro stolen and have not been able to recover the serial number from our Best Buy receipt. We did register it with Apple during the set-up and downloaded music on it thru ITunes.  Any chance we can recover the serial number from somewhere?  Any details would be helpful.  Thank you!

    You can try going here, using the same AppleID you used on the machine:
