I want a new Macbook!

Dear friends,
at the beginning of the November my friends will be in New-York. I want to buy extended configuration of new MacBook Air (13 in., i7 1.8). As I understand this configuration is not available in retail Apple Stores and should be pre ordered for the delivery to concrete address.
According to this I’ve got few questions:
- Can I order my new laptop via apple web-site and ask to make a deliver to my friends hotel? Can I use my AppleID (registered in Russia) and my card (of      russian bank) for this purchase?
- Can I order my new laptop via apple web-site and ask to make a deliver to one of New-York’s Apple Store? Same questions – сan I use my
     AppleID (registered in Russia) and my card (of russian bank) for this purchase?
Is there a way to deliver a laptop of this configuration in a retail Apple Store, so my friends bought it there? In this case I have to be sure that laptop of this configuration is waiting for them in store.
I want to find simplest way to buy MacBook Air of non standard configuration in US.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards. Kirill Kuznetsov

Apple does not provide store/purchasing support via email (at not least not until after you have placed an order). You can call them, their phone number is listed on the web page. The store customer service line is 1-800-676-2775, and will only work from inside the USA (since the USA store doesn't do business outside of the USA, they do not bother paying for an international toll free number).
see http://store.apple.com/us/help/contact/
You cannot make a purchase from the Apple USA web store with a foreign credit card and foreign credit card billing address.

I want a new MacBook. now which one?

I'm new to the community, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. I've seen LOTS of similar questions, but mine is a bit more specific.
I'm a High School Senior, and I've had my trusty '09 13-inch MacBook Pro since it first came out. The thing is, I spilled coffee all over it yesterday and it just won't boot up. As AppleCare expired a long time ago, I think I'll just buy a new one.
It was running OS X 10.8 just fine, as it was the high-end model at the time. I would still be using it if it wasn't for the accident.
I want a MacBook that will be able to last 5 years (speed-wise, because I said the same about my Pro), so that's why I'm aiming at the high-end Airs and Pros.
I'm considering these setups:
1- 13" MacBook Air, with 2.0GHz Core i7, 8GB of RAM and 256GB Flash.
2- 13" MacBook Pro, with 2.9GHz Core i7, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD.
3- 13" MacBook Pro, with 2.5GHz Core i5, with OWC 16GB of RAM and OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD of 240GB
I'm going to use this laptop of HS and College, for my economics courses. I do a lot of photo editing on CS6 and some video editing on Final Cut, just for fun. I have a 1TB Thunderbolt external hard drive for the extra storage these applications may need.
What do you guys think?
Thanks

Hey,
Thank's 4 the advice , but one of my main problems is I live in South Africa and apple products is x2 as much as what the usa doller is for it. Eg Macbook pro starting price $1199 american dollars and directley converted to South African currency is R9160.30.... but the problem is if i want to buy it in my country it has been marked up alot and a Macbook pro starting price for me will be R13000 for 13 inch and if you directley convert our price into american dollers its $1704.30 american dollars, so thats +600 dollers more.
So its much more expensive to buy products in my country and thats just the starting price.
I want mobality but i was also thinking (imac mini) is kinda portable and can plug into any1 T.V u know.
So like i really do t know what to get and that, because its alot more money to spend than the US dollar.
So i really want you to put your self in my position you know...
And what is classified as a good monitor???
And i want to know why my friends say that the imac mini is pathetic , but i think it losts longer than most windows laptops, what do you think ??
And can i who lives in south africa buy products directley from apple them selves ??
Thank's man , hope you can help me out here!
Hope other people can c this 2

What do i need to do when getting a new macbook

i have a MBP 09 and want a new macbook air, what do i need to do make a clean switch?

Anything purchased via the App Store can be re-downloaded freely.
You should deauthorize the old computer while you have it in your possession, then authorize the new one.
Authorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
Also see, iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

How do I transfer files through time machine from old macbook to new macbook pro?

I have Lion on my old macbook and I have saved all my info through time machine. How do I transfer my files to my new macbook pro?

If you want to restore all you old machine to your new MacBookPro, simply restart you computer in Recovery mode (Hold option key while restarting), select restore from Time Machine Backup, and select the latest or whatever date you like.
On the other hand if you want your new MacBook to use your old TM back, just inherit that backup using the following command in Terminal:
tmutil inheritbackup {machine_directory | sparsebundle}
You will find detailed instructions for inherit backups here: http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html

The new macbook air and my iMac

I want The new macbook air..... I have the iMac...... I want to run after effects cc on both , so i can use it on the macbook air while away from home ........
Question ..... can i use after effects cc on both & will the macbook air (4gb, 128gb) be able to run it...
many thanks

As an owner of a 13" MacBook Air (mid-2013) running OS X Yosemite with the off-the-shelf-standard 4GB of RAM, I can tell you the MBA is nearly worthless for After Effects CC. You can create barebones projects and comps, but expect near constant memory allocation errors (even with the relatively new Memory & Multiprocessing preference screen for allocating memory usage.)
That said, I have never loved a computer as much as I do this MacBook Air (I was a die-hard PC guy until Windows 8 was released.)
Illustrator and Photoshop still operate like a dream, especially when running my 23" flat-screen TV as a second monitor via RGB.
Get the MacBook Air if you can swing it, just don't expect it to ever grow up to be an editing bay.

I want to move a hard drive from one MacBook to a newer MacBook

I want to understand the full process I need to go through. Both MacBooks are running 10.6.8. The older MacBook A has a larger hard drive (new last year). I want to keep the newer MacBook B and put the newer hard drive in it. I also want to replicate the data from the older MacBook A onto the newer one...the data is already on the hard drive, but I assume I'll have to restore it after I move the drive into the newer computer. I will use Time Machine to move the data.
Here are the specs:
MacBook A:
MacBook running 10.6.8 with 2 GHz Intel Core Duo
contains the hard drive I want to move
MacBook B:
MacBook running 10.6.8 with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
I want to move the hard drive and data here
1. Will this work? What would happen if I just moved the hard drive and turned on MacBook B? I'm assuming that's not a good option, but am I wrong?
2. I have the original install DVD for 10.5.4 and a newer install DVD for 10.6.3. Do I need to use the original disk and then update. or can I start with 10.6.3?
3. Is it safe to assume that if I back up MacBook A using Time Machine I will be able to restore it onto MacBook B once I move the hard drive and re-install the operating system?
4. Should I wipe the hard drive before I move it?
5. I plan to put MacBook B's hard drive into MacBook A, reinstall the op sys, and sell it. Will it be compatible? It comes from a faster machine.
I can get info on the physical aspects of moving the drives on YouTube, so I'm really more interested in how to make sure I get the operating system and data parts right.
Thanks for any and all help. Step by step instructions would be awesome!
Jeannie

1. What would happen if I just moved the hard drive and turned on MacBook B? I'm assuming that's not a good option, but am I wrong?
I can see no reason why this would not work. I would try it.
What you do next depends on the results of this test.
2. You do not need to go back to 10.5, except when you are selling A.
3. Yes. If you reinstall the OS on B, during set up you can transfer data from a TM back up.
4. Since you plan to reinstall the OS after the drive is in place, I would not erase before the transfer. That will give you a chance to test the transplant before you reinstall. You can of course wipe the drive just before you start the install.
5. No problem. Drives don't care about a machine's processor speed.

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I want to buy a new Macbook Pro yet keep iPhoto 9...

Hi folks,
I have what is - for me - a complicated question here. I will try to explain with a minimum of words yet still get the pertinent info in. I really couldn't find the exact right forum to put it in!
So, as background, I had an early-2008 Macbook that died and was replaced with a unibody white Macbook (a few weeks ago, so pre-iLife '11). So, that left me with the new unibody Macbook, with all of my data on it, and a USB hard drive with a Time Machine backup on it that is configured to the dead, early-2008 Macbook.
I don't want to keep the unibody plastic Macbook as I want a Firewire drive and an external battery monitor, both of which I had on my previous Macbook. I would like to buy a Macbook Pro which will give me back those things.
BUT, I don't want iPhoto '11, because I e-mail photos from Apple Mail all the time, and the templates won't work for me. I would prefer iPhoto '09 (which I have on my unibody plastic Macbook).
If I buy a new MBP, I know it will come with iLife '11. What I want to know is, can I start up the new MBP, NOT do migration assistant, and then somehow get iPhoto 9 on it and THEN do migration assistant? So that I end up with i-Life '11 for everything but iPhoto? If so, how do I do that?
Then my second question is how to handle the data on my USB backup harddrive. It has a Time Machine backup from my dead, early-2008 Macbook which was running Leopard and iLife 08, plus, as I now understand, it is "keyed" to the dead Macbook. (I think in future I will use Super Duper and make backups that way and not with Time Machine, but I need to get over this hump.)
I called the Apple store and they suggested I erase my USB backup and start over from the unibody plastic Macbook, but as that would have left me with NO backup temporarily, I just couldn't bring myself to do that. Now of course if I buy a new MBP, I will temporarily have three hard drives (unibody plastic, new MBP, and backup drive), so I think I could get things all settled and keep two copies of info at all times. But I have not pulled the trigger on the MBP because of the new iLife '11 and my not wanting the new iPhoto.
Sorry this is so complicated. But of course that's why I need some help in figuring it out!
Stixer
PS: I have not used the unibody plastic Macbook yet, and I have a friend who would like to buy it from me. Meanwhile I'm limping along on an ANCIENT ibook. I don't ever want to see another beachball

I realized I still had this as an open question, so I thought I would follow up. By calling around, I was able to locate a Macbook Pro that still had ILife 09, so I bought that.
But then I found out I could actually continue on with Ilife 08, but just wiping the new computer and reinstalling the first disc (system) but not the second one (ilife). So then when I used a Time Machine backup from my old computer to migrate to the new one, it simply continued on with O8. This made me even happier as I really was trying to avoid Faces in iPhoto 09.
Thank you for the input (I did read it back when you posted it; I just did not realize I needed to "close" the question.)

HT1414 having bought a new MacBook, I wanted to Sync my iPhone4 to it, but it insists the only method to do so is to "Erase and Sync" or "Cancel" which leaves no option to just use iTunes on the new MacBook Pro - how annoying is that???

I have had the iphone4 for 2 years now and I bought a new MacBook Pro, opened iTunes and it knew I already had other machines with iTunes sync'ed with it but it still insisted on offering one option or sync'ing with new MacBook - "Erase and Sync", which means deleting EVERYTHING on the iphone. What if I want my iPhone to dictate and get iTunes on the Macbook to match up with the iPhone??? Or at least get iTunes to relate to what my iTunes account obviously has on it and update that way. Come on Apple, as per usual, very pretty but not very practical!!!

You can only sync everything with your one syncing computer/iTunes library. Yu can:
- Make this your syncing computer by:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
- Use the manual method to copy music and videos from any computer/iTunes library to the iPod. See the manual method included here:

My laptop got stolen and I want to sync my current ipad with the new Macbook

Hi all,
Unfortunately, my previous macbook was stolen, and now I just bought the new one, and I would like to sync my iPad with this new laptop. However, when I plug the iPad, there was a message from iTunes saying that my iPad is not sync with this computer and asked if I want to "erase and sync" with this new computer. Actually, I re-download all the necessary applications to iTunes on the new Macbook already, but still am not sure whether this "erase and sync" will keep the data of my iPad. There are some data such as money transactions, passwords, and game saves, etc. which I do not want to lose and don't really have backups. Would "erase and sync" remove all data of current installed applications on the iPad? Is there a way to synchronize my iPad with this new Macbook without losing data?
Thanks,
Kann

I have already authorized this computer with my Apple ID. I think this only allows me to re-download all purchased applications to the iTunes library again without re-purchasing them. However, iTunes still keeps asking me if I want to "erase and sync" or not.

I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me from her, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
MacBook
I have this question too (0) Reply

Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

Setting up new macbook pro ,want to transfer music on existing Apple id and then set him up with a new one for future purchases ,can itunes play music from both accounts on one user account?

Title says it all really,son has until now used our itunes account,in future will want to build up own but wants obviously to have access to past musuc/books etc.I was thinking authorise new macbook with existing apple id ,transfer music ,then set up new id for future,if he wants to play old music he will have to log in under old account.
Also want to link to icloud but this will need to be the new id presumeably because you are not allowed to change the computer,does this mean it will only back up the stuff from new account?

I have tried the method of authorizing my computer and then initiating transfer purchases method yet my purchases were not transfered. I was told Apple can put your purchases in a certain place for you to retrieve them in your I-tunes account.
Is there any way you can help me with this problem?

Is there a way to move music I had on my iPhone 4 to my new macbook air, using iTunes it seems to want to synch to iTunes library where I don't have any music stored?

Hello KM47,
It soundsl ike you are needing to copy your iTunes purchases to your computer rather than sync it at this point. You can use the following article to transfer your purchases with the following article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
If you have your library stored on another computer, you can also copy the library to the new MacBook Air with this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

I have an old macbook which i want to give away. i want to delete all my contacts etc. how do i do that without deleting on my new macbook and iPad?

I have an old macbook that i want to give away. i want to delete my information such as contacts mail etc. how can i do that without deleting it from my new macbook pro or my ipad?

Go to System Preferences > iCloud and turn iCloud off.
Restart holding the Command and R keys and then choose to reinstall Mac OS X. If you have applicaitons on the machine that should not be transfered to another party, after the restart choose Disk Utility and erase the hard drive and then install Mac OS X...that will return the machine to factory condition.

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and transferred my iTunes archive of music to it. How do I transfer the playlists from my other computer(s)? iTunes on the new machine wants to start from scratch.

How do I transfer playlists from my other Apple computer(s) to my new Macbook Pro? I think I have successfully moved the music (archive) but the new machine wants to start from scratch on the playlists.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
Essentially you need to copy over the itunes folder
username/Music/itunes
Over to your macbookpro I suggest using an ethernet cable as it is way quicker. Put it in the same spot on the new Macbook Pro
username/music/
This should bring over the playlists etc. Then just put the music back in from the archive

I want a new Macbook!
