If in my Hardware section of System Information, when I select Thunderbolt and the reply is:
Thunderbolt: No hardware was found,
does that mean the computer does not contain Thunderbolt or that no Device using Thunderbolt is attached and that the computer does have thunderbolt?
I have Lion and both my Mini Server and Macbook Pro are less than a year old, however both were bought from Apple as reconditioned units so they might be older, and I expected they would have Thunderbolt but when I connect a Black Magic Intensity Extreme unit which is a thunderbolt powered and driven Device using a Thunderbolt Cable to either computer, it is not recognized.

No other information in Sys Info and I guess as both units, Mini and MBPro, were reconditioned, they were pre July and February , 2011, respectively.
I don't suppose there is any way to add Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 to prior generation Mac Products or get similar performance.

How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

I had my computer repaired, and when I got it back I had to reinstall iTunes. Now iTunes won't authorize this computer because it says we already have 5 devices authorized, but this is the same computer. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Deauthorizing won't delete anything, and all your purchased content is safe. You will just have to reauthorize any of the other computers that get deauthorized along with your computers old machine id.
To get your purchased content back on that computer, just use iTunes to redownload it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US). Of course, music you ripped from CD or got from another source you'll need to copy those files back over.

I have removed photostream from my Iphone 4...Does this mean the photos are also removed from other devices?

The iPhone has a closed file system and you would not be able to download files to it. There have also not been any identified virus/malware that can successfully get into the iPhone. You should be fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Apps in iTunes in the cloud and photos in photostream do not use your allocated i~Cloud space.

I tried to register my stolen iPhone onto My Profile but it says that it's registered under another apple ID (which is not mine) What does this mean? Does it mean the person who stole my phone is using my phone under another Apple ID?!

Hi everyone,
My iphone and Ipad got stollen yesterday...
I registered my Ipad onto "my profile" but when I tried to register my Iphone 4 onto "My Profile" it says that the product has been registered under ANOTHER apple ID. What does this mean?! Does this mean that the thief is using my phone under a new apple ID?!
I am getitng abit paranoid because when I tried to download a new app onto my macbook pro, it says that someone had accessed my account from a new computer. I am so scared.. as I know that if they are able to access my apple ID account they can see my billing/card details. I tried to delete my billing address and card details on my apple ID account to prevent this from occuring but I can't. Please help
Many thanks,
Kim

You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

I have made a website using iweb, as this will no longer be supported by apple, does that mean the gallery I have created on my website will no longer work even though I am hosting it with a different hosting provider

I have made a website using iweb, as this will no longer be supported by apple, does that mean the gallery I have created on my website will no longer work even though I am hosting it with a different hosting provider. Will the other widgets no longer work?

There are a few things that won't work on other hosting sites; hit counters and pop-up slide shows for sure.

HT4859 when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer?

when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer? Please help me and answer either or both question detailed thanks

Normally when you sync your device it is automatically backed up to your computer as the first step in the sync process. When you choose to start backing up your device to iCloud, iTunes stops automatically backing it up on your computer when you sync. That's what the message is telling your; that you are now backing up to iCloud and not to your computer each time you sync. You can still manually back up to your computer any time you want by going to the Summary tab and clicking on Back Up Now under Manually Back Up and Restore.
You can still sync your device as you did before, it just will no longer back up automatically when you do.

I have deleted playlists from my iphone4 that I wish to restore. The current back up does not contain them either. Can I use a back up from yesterday? How do I find it on my laptop?

No iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup. If the playlists are not in your iTunes library, on your computer, they are gone.

HT4859 If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud does this mean the app can not be downloaded to a new device?

Manage Storage.
1. What am I deleting specifically when this message appears "Are you sure you want to turn off CNN backups and delete the backup data from the cloud?
2. If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud does this mean the app can not be downloaded to a new device?
3. If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud and I delete the app off my phone can I download the app again or do I have to repurchase the app?

Every app that you buy or get for free in appstore/itunes belongs to you and can be downloaded on up to 10 devices or saved on up to 5 computers. Instructions to download apps to new devices here

Here comes a "BUT" - imagine your kid playing game and getting to level 51 and have to start over from level one. Or imagine that history that you have in your CNN app. That is what icloud backup contains. My 500 scifi books are in one of the app backups and I REALLY do not want to lose it. That is what you would turn off.

I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup

I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup from last Friday, I go to my Lightroom Backups folder - and the most recent one showing not only isn't yesterday, it's OCTOBER 28 !?? Where the hell are the daily backups between October 28 and November 14?

Oh wow - JET LAG strikes agin - my apologies; I have located the missing weeks of back-ups. After getting home from a 30-day trip to Europe, I had changed the location of my LR catalog back-ups to an external drive, and forgot that I did that. I have found them, and all is good. Never operate Heavy Machinery without enough rest. Cheers
