I've purchased my MacBook Pro, how do I configure my settings?, I've purchased my MacBook Pro, how do I configure my settings?
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and I don't not know how to configure the settings. We both tried, but resulted in changing the password to one of my own. In all of my settings, his name is there. How do I change it to my own? Should I take it to an Apple store to do this?
Did you buy a used computer with someone else's data on it? If so, your first move should be to erase the internal hard drive.

I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
Help Please!The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer. -
I transferred my iTunes library from Window PC to MacBook pro and now I cant play songs that I purchased with an earlier ID and Password. How can I get around this problem?
Authorize the computer.

I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New songs that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?
Hey Etti101,
I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

I have a MacBook. I purchased things apps like Pages, Numbers. etc in the App store. Im' just wondering how to put them on the new MacBook Pro without having to purchase them again. Will the Migration Assistant do this?

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -
When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?
iPhone 4So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver. -

IBooks from Australia and the USA - how can I see all of my collection on my MacBook Pro?
G'day,
I am Australian. I began using iBooks in Australia by purchasing books through the Apple store in Australia on my iPhone.
In those days I had a PC running windows, and used to sync my iPhone on iTunes in Windows 7.
Later, I moved to Illinois in the USA. I also changed from using a PC to using an Apple MacBook Pro.
So these days I sync my iPhone with my MacBook.
I now have a mixture of books on my iPhone. Some purchased from the Apple Store in Australia, and some purchased from the Apple Store in the USA.
I can see and read ALL of my books on my iPhone.
But I can only see and read the 5 books I purchased since living in the USA on my MacBook Pro.
My login and password are exactly the same for the Australian Store, for the USA Store and for iCloud.
How can I see and read ALL my books on my MacBook Pro here in Illinois?
My iPhone is running iOS version 8.1.2
My MacBook is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Message was edited by: bruce in Illinois
corrected typosThanks for your prompt response King_Penguin.
I carried out your suggestions.
A strange thing resulted.
Just one (1) of my 34 books on my iPhone now appears in the iTunes list of books on my Mac, and subsequently was moved to iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
This happens to be the book I am currently reading. So at least I can get on with reading on either device.
But I am mystified why only one book was copied across.
Thanks again for your help. -
help, how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 — all it has is "mobile me" under internet and wireless on my system doc????
You should check that your Mac meets the requirements for upgrading.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table -
How do I install/upgrade iWork 2005 on my new MacBook Pro / Mountain Lion?
I just bought a new MacBook Pro (converted back from Windows) and installed an old version of iWork (2005) I purchased years ago, hoping to upgrade it. It didn't install properly as it only shows a folder in Finder/Apps, with a couple of docs in the folder and doesn't show up as an app for Upgrade. The guy that upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion at the Apple Store told me this should work.
1) How do I install iWork 2005 on my MacBook Pro / Mountain Lion?
2) How do I upgrade it without having to purchase a new copy?
Thanks!You cannot link any version of iWork installed from a retail disk or trial to the Mac App Store.
You install iWork '05 on your new Mac just as you always have, making sure you have the serial number to enter. But the iWork apps are very reasonably priced on the Mac App Store & have come a very long way in 7 years. And now Numbers is available for spreadsheets. -
I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!
iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

How to transfer iPhone apps and their data to new MacBook Pro?
I just got the new Retina Macbook Pro. Before, I synced my iPhone with my iMac. Now I want to sync my iphone with my new RMBP instead. I transfered my music and applications to the new Mac.

I aready clicked transfer purchases to my new Mac, so all my apps are already on the computer.

How do I load on Office:Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive?
How do I load on Office: Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive - I don't want to have to purchase another copy.
Glad you were able to solve your problem. For the benefit of others who may find this discussion later, allow me to suggest another possibility.
If you have access to another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion with an optical drive, you should be able to use the Remote Disc feature to access the optical drive on that other Mac.
