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 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!

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.

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

I just bought a Mac Book Pro and why do I now have to pay for the OS X upgrade?
I just bought a Mac Book Pro about a month ago and now I have to pay for the OS upgrade!!! Is there anyway to avoid this charge?
Click on the in the top left corner, then About This Mac. The version number will be listed right under OS X.
If it is something like 10.8.3 or 10.8.4 (anything starting with 10.8.x), you can click Software Update to download 10.8.5 for free. -
I bought the mac book pro retina with warranty in second hand now i need to update the keynotes, pages and numbers now it not updating in my apple id is there any idea to transfer to my new apple id
You will have to erase the HDD and reinstall the original OSX. This will allow you to create your own Apple ID via the registration process. Follow these guidelines:

I`ve just bought a Mac Book pro 15", did the required updates and since two days ago it freezes. Now I can´t even start the computer. the screen is allways white. how can I solve this issue??
The same thing happened to me... Since two days the ******* thing keeps freezing after a while. Then I try to reboot and the screen goes white and it doesn't boot. If I wait like half an hour it boots again.
I thought it was a hardware problem, but the Apple Hardware Test founds nothing at all. I think it has to do with the software update I performed 2 days ago.

I password reset my mac book pro now i cant register
i bought a mac book pro and it was locked with a password so i wouldnt let me update flash player so i googled what to do and i reset it now i cant register help me
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.

I bought a Mac Book Pro retina display, Serial Number C02J*****2, on 8/11/2012. Unfortunately, I am unable to download updates from the App store.Whenever I tried to download updates, it shows me an error message, "we could not complete your request. there is an error in the App Store. Try again later (100). Your Apple ID has been disabled, contact iTune support". However,the problem still persists even after my password has been successfully reset. What is is the error in the app store? I really need help to resolve this issue.
Moreover,I also need help how to update to the mountain lion free of charge as my Mac pro is four(4) days old.
Sincerely
Asrat Kahsay
N.B. I'M not exactly sure the operating system is "Mac OS X v10.7.x". However, I do know for sure it's Mac OS X v10.7.4

I have a 17" Mac Book Pro and a 13" Mac Book Pro...both use the same Apple ID. My wife uses the 13" and now wants to change the Apple ID on the 13" to her Apple ID. How do I do this and not loose the information on that computer?
Hello Teddy53149 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Follow this procedure:
Change your OS X account name and home directory name - Apple Support
As they recommend and as always when you're messing with administrator accounts back everything up first. -
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?

I bought 2 mac book pros. At home i already had a network with a timecapsule connected to a router and a windows xp lap top connected to it. When i turned both macs on i was able to see the time capsule and the windows xp computer HOWEVER neither mac could see each other......any help would be appreciated.
NickThanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick

I am new to mac, but i keep reading about Mountain lion. I just bought my Mac book Pro less then a month ago. my current software is OS X 10.8.2, Do i already have mountain lion? How do I check to see?
As the others have stated, you're on Mountain Lion with 10.8, anything. But you can check your version of the software by going to the apple in the upper left corner of the screen and clicking it and selecting "About This Mac". That will open a box that shows your software version. Once there you can click on "More Info" that will tell you everything about your specific mac configuration.
