IDVD in Macbook Pro Lion

Hi; I bought a macbook pro lion and relased there is no iDVD on it, could you please help me to find somewhre else?

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to destribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That has worked for some, but is not guaranteed to work for all.
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with Lion. You have to buy iLife 11 from online Apple Store in order to get iDVD. You are strongly recommended to do so soon as it will not be available for much longer.

  • Can I install iDVD (only) from an iLife 11 CD on a new (late 2011) on-line MacBook Pro/Lion purchase that no longer included it?

    Can I install iDVD (only) from an iLife 11 CD on a new (late 2011) on-line MacBook Pro/Lion purchase that no longer included it?

    Purchasing iLife 11 on disk is an easy thing to do. ILife 11 will include iDVD.
    If you have iDVD on another Macintosh you can transfer it to your new computer. That procedure has been discussed here many times, if you do a search you will find that procedure.

  • My new macbook pro (lion) iCal has been showing the wrong date?

    My new macbook pro (lion) iCal has been showing the wrong date for stored events - even though i have put the appointment in on the right date when I look it up a week or so later it has changed?
    I think it might be showing 2011 date? How can i fix this and do I have back-up of my original dates?

    Good to hear .  Happy computing!

    Have you updated your itunes to the latest version? You have to have itunes to sync the phone to any computer.

  • I have a new macbook pro lion, have a latest version of flash player but still videos play with black screen.  Please help. Thanks

    Hello everyone,
    I have checked and tried some advices here on "discussions", about playing video on youtube for example on a MacBook Pro lion.  I have the latest Flash player but it still doesn't work.  Please help.  Thanks in advance..

    Hi,
    if you are using a SAFARI you don't need to install a flash player, it comes insatlled already, you can check that on safari toolbar.
    Help>Installed Plug-ins> and then check for shockwave flash player etc.
    i have a early 2011 macbookpro and have never needed to install any flash payer unlike on windows.
    that's if your are using safari.
    Thanks

  • Aperture 2 on Macbook Pro (LIon)

    I use Aperture 2 on my iMac (snow leopard).
    I bought a new MacBook Pro (Lion) and want to put
    Aperture 2 on the Macbook then upgrade to Aperture 3.
    The Macbook won't take it. Tells me Aperture is not compatible.
    I need a photo organizer/editor for the MacBook and if aperture 2 won't
    work, does anyone have another suggestion as to what I can do or use.
    I'd rather not use full Photoshop (too expensive) and I'm told that
    Photoshop Elements 10 will not read Apertures photo library.
    Ideas ... anyone .... please.

    For anyone who may be interested..... after a little bit of hassle finally spoke with a
    techie in the aperture department.
    It seems Aperture 2 is not compatible with the Lion (OS 10.7.1)
    You need Aperture 3 (no surprise there).
    You can download Aperture 3 from the app store for $80.
    Aperture 2's library will be recignized by the Mark 3 program and will be
    updated to work with Aperture 3 ...which will make it unuseable by Aperture 2.
    upshot is .... if you upgrade to Apert 3 ..you gotta do it on all your computers
    or not at all.
    actively looking at Photoshop Elements 10 instead. At least that way I can use the same program on all my ,machines and download from one to the other without compatibility problems.

  • How can i install windows 7 on macbook pro lion  from usb?

    hello am sorry to disturb you
    i would like to know the above question since i have looked almost everywhere and i have received no answer
    i have a macbook pro i5 with lion
    i have been trying for month to install windows 7 as a secondary boot to my mac
    but i haven't been able to
    things that i have done
    -i had downloaded win7 iso
    -using another computer i installed win7 on the usb { win to flash }
    -i have used bootcamp assistant but apparently i need a dvd of win7 which i currently don't have
    -i have installed Reffit but i always get a flashing screen when try to load windows
    please i hope you can reply me back if possible
    my thoughts are
    is that apple disabled the efi on lion to not be able to boot from usb flash drive
    my reasoning to this is that is used to work  on leopard but not lion
    again am trying to boot from usb not burn a disc
    please help att alcidio

    Rule #1 that TP missed: ISO have to be burned at SLOWEST 2X burn speed to work.
    There is/was a long thread but booting Windows from USB-DVD or flash is hit or miss, it may work. USB-DVDs often do not but it is possible to edit the plist to add the Mac ID string to it.
    Boot Camp Assistant -
    create a partition (done)
    download Windows Support Software (drivers to install after Windows is running) (done)
    Start the install and boot process - not really needed or essential
    And you can use Paragon, you can use Windows 7 or later DVD and do entire install (but on a dedicated 100% Windows hard drive).
    Flash drive: has to be MBR and FAT or NTFS (I think, sounds right) same for putting Apple drivers on flash card  for which there is an Apple Tech Article.

  • Macbook Pro (Lion 10.7.3) will not connect to Wi-Fi -- persistant 'connection time-out', and fails.

    I can see this seems to be a common problem, and it is amazing that there seems to be no consensus (that I can find) on what the underlying problem is.
    Here are the basics.... I have two Macbook Pro 13's... Pretty much identical setups (Lion 1.7.3 etc.).
    One, works flawlessly connecting to Wi-Fi - whether that is my Airport Express, or any other open or closed networks.
    The second, will continually refuse to connect -- to the Airport Express or even a wide-open 802.11b network.  It will continually pop up the "connection timeout" erorr, and refuse to connect... 
    Iphones etc all connect perfectly... Even when connecting to the iPhone hotspot - the same error.
    This will happed consistently, until I give up.  I can leave it for a day (use ethernet), and come back tomorrow, and voila - it will connect.  I may be able to use it for a day or several, but once it decides to 'fail', there is virtually nothing I can do to bring it back... it will continue to fail over and over again.
    All updates are applied, I've cleaned out all other networks etc from the list.  Tried all civilized things that I can.
    Thoughts? Anyone have any other insight?  Think this could be a hardware issue? I was thinking to yank the wi-fi module from the working notebook to the non-working one as a test...
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.

  • My macbook pro(Lion 10.7.2) continually lost connection with the magic mouse, which charged well.

    There is something wrong with my new macbook pro MD322(Lion 10.7.2). It continually lost connection with the magic mouse. I ensure that the mouse is charged well. I also looked up the matter on Web. It looks that the matter is familiar for many users.

    I have a m-audio fast track pro that I'm having a similar problem when using it with my new Macbook Air. I found changing it to 16 bit will work.
    I have a Apogee iMic that works fine so my guess is we will have to wait for Avid/M-Audio to update drivers.

  • My macbook pro (lion 10.7.2) takes several minutes to connect to the internet after waking from sleep.  Is there any way to make this instant?

    Hi
    My Macbook Pro 15 inch takes several minutes to be able to connect to the internet after waking from sleep.  Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

    The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
    What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7.  PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel.  At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years.  They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion.  It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier.  The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

  • Using O2M I imported my contacts into Address Book. However upon exiting the contacts are not saved. This is on a new Macbook Pro Lion OS. How does one save the newly imported contacts?

    Using the program O2M I successfully imported emails from Outlook 2003 to Mail, and calendar events to iCal. However, repeated attempts to import contacts to Address Book have failed. The contacts appear to import, but when I close Address Book and reopen it, the contacts are gone. I tried File-Save, but Save is greyed out. This is a new Macbook Pro with the latest Lion OS. I wonder if O2M has not been updated to work with Lion. Or is there something I am overlooking in the import process?

    Hi Denisej and others who have encountered the same problem,
    I tried your work around. Unfortunately it did not work out for me because in my contacts there are an unknown number that still "refused" to be imported like that. When such a contact was in the group I selected for import the whole lot would be lost again after re-opening Address Book. Finally that meant that I had to import each contact one-by-one, each time with the need to close down Address Book. A job to go nuts and end up with a mouse injury. So I decided to use the Migration Assistant that Lion now offers
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3284404
    together with Windows Migration Assitant on my old PC. Obviously both Mac and PC have to be on the same network. For this I did not need to do anything special. Both make use of the same router and that is apparently sufficient. When migrating the contacts Lion creates a new account, so you need to log in to that new account to see your migrated contacts. I used the Export Address Book Archive function in the Address Book menu to copy the lot to my own Apple account. I got rid of the new account and I was finally where I wanted to be in the first place.

  • Macbook Pro Lion shuts off during boot up

    I have a 13" MacBook Pro purchased in 2011.  I had the internet lock up on me and hard shut down the computer.  Now when I press the power button, the machine begins to boot up and the apple pops up then the progress bar pops up and the wheels starts to spin, but the machine shuts down about 5 seconds into it. 
    I have seen this problem on older posts (pre-Lion) and one solution was to hold option during start-up and then boot off th esystem restore disc, but Lion is all internet based, so no disc here.  When I do that, it pops the option to select an internet source, which I do, then the HD symbol pops up with an arrow below it.  When I clikc the arrow (which is the only apparent option) it does the same thing and shhuts off at the same point.
    HELP!

    Try booting with command-R. This will boot into the repair parttion. From here you can run disk utility and other programs. You can also do a repair installation of Lion which will almost certainly solve the problem. Doing so shouldn't wipe out your user data, but installing OS updates will be required.

  • Adobe premiere elements 10.0 uses more than 100% cpu on macbook pro lion osx 10.7.3

    Hello All,
    We have a macbook pro 17" 2.66Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB DDR3 running lion osx 10.7.3.
    When trying to run a video in adobe premiere elements 10.0, the video really lags. I checked the activity monitor and the cpu usage for the elements app process goes above 100%. Sometimes even 170%.
    No wonder why its struggling to render the video.
    Anyone noticed this issue too?
    All suggestions welcome.
    regards
    Ankit

    Hello OgelThorpe,
    Thank you for the suggestion. I will try that soon. My macbook meets well over the hardware requirements for that package. Also only the cpu usage is high, i have 4GB ram and only 500-700 MB of that gets used by adobe premiere.
    I have have run the hardware test in a loop and it passed everytime, so i dont doubt the hardware.
    regards

  • How to get iDVD on macbook pro retina display without buying disk

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I was wondering how I can get iDVD on it without having to buy iLife again.

    If you already have iDVD 7 on an install disk use that. If not, you will have to find iLife 8 or later on eBay or Amazon.

  • Running windows 7 on macbook pro lion

    Hi, I just updated computers to a macbook pro with lion. Is there anyway to dual boot and run windows 7? If so, could someone please explain to me how to install windows 7?

    Doesn't have to be a retail copy.  It can be a TechNet ISO or similar legal copy that you burned to a DVD.
    The "Boot Camp Assistant" App in Lion will walk you thru the process.
