If'n i buy a macbook pro in early october will it have lion stock?

i want to add another macbook pro to the household but want it to come with lion already on it. when will that be possible? if not before my daughter's birthday oct 12, can they put it on at the apple store? thanks.

Hi i,
Unless someone knows that they're already being shipped with Lion installed, that isn't something we can predict her. I will say I'd be very surprised if MBPs do not come with Lion installed by 10/12, but I have no knowledge of that. I'd also be very surprised if you walked into an Apple Store, purchased a +/- $1500 computer and they refused to install Lion on it for you. Again, I have no inside knowledge about it. Probably your best bet is to contact the Apple Store you'll be dealing with.

  • If I buy a macbook pro today  (July 25) will it have Mountain Lion OS X and be able to factory reboot to Mountain Lion OS X?

    Or must I wait until the new shipment of the macs will be available.

    We don't know, but it is possible depending on how old the inventory is. If it does not come with Mountain Lion you will be entitled to a free upgrade: Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

    Not only would it be safe but less expensive as well.  The tray loaders are deemed to be the most reliable.  Apple does not support Blueray so avoid that.

  • If I buy a MacBook Pro on hong kong, will it be in English?

    I'm going to hong kong next week and I thinking about buying a new MacBook pro, but I scared it will be in Chinese. Does anyone knows if it's in English?

    You can get it in English. (HK official languages are Chinese and English.)
    However, check prices first (you can do it on-line)

    as well as exchange rates. You may not like HK prices.

  • Macbook Pro (Retina Early-2013) will not turn on

    I plugged my iPhone into my computer and was going through the process of syncing my music when my MacBook Pro just powers down completely. I've been unable to turn the computer on since then, following the Apple trouble-shooting process.
    Interestingly, when I do a SMC reset, the LED color on my MagSafe charger will change to green and then back to orange, leading me to believe that it isn't an issue with either the connection to the power button, or with the logic board itself. In spite of this, no boot-up sounds, no LED lighting up on the Caps Lock button, no nothing.
    Has anyone else run into an issue like this before? Were you able to resolve it?

    Hello FAHQALL,
    The resource below will provide some steps to try if your MacBook Pro won't turn on.  Resetting the SMC is one of them.  Troubleshooting the MagSafe adapter and installed RAM are also included.  There are links in the article for additional support if the computer needs to be physically inspected.

    I hope this information helps ....

  • Migrated from MBP with moutain lion to new macbook pro retina display and now I have lion os

    After migrating from a time machine backup and logging in (had problems with that too and had to restart user password) the os version is 10.7.4 when it should be 10.8.2
    Went to the app store and I have to pay again to get the upgrade.. Do i have to pay again???
    Thanks!

    Hi again, Juan.
    OK this is just a guess but I believe that when you set up your rMBP from your old MBP you used TM restore not Migration Assistant. What happened is that you installed your old system OS10.7.4 and all files.
    Using Migration Assistant (MA) would not have overwritten your OS.
    See this taken from Finder Help....
    Recover your entire system
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover your system’s contents if your system or startup disk is damaged.
    Important: Only use your Time Machine backup to restore your system to the computer that is the source of the backup. If you want to use your backup to transfer your information to a new computer, use Migration Assistant. 
    Transfer your info from a computer or disk
    If you’re restoring your system because of a problem with your startup disk, repair or replace the disk before following these instructions.
    Make sure your Time Machine backup disk is connected and turned on. If your backup disk is on a network, make sure your computer is on the same network.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
    Select “Restore from a Time Machine Backup,” and then click Continue.
    Depending on your type of backup disk, do one of the following:
    If you use an external disk, select it and click Continue.
    If you use a Time Capsule, choose your AirPort network from the AirPort menu on the right side of the menu bar, and then select your Time Capsule and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
    If you use a network disk, select it and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
    If necessary, enter the name and password you use to connect to your backup disk, and then click Connect.
    Select the date and time of the backup you want to restore, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
    After you restore your system from a Time Machine backup, Time Machine may perform a full backup at the next scheduled backup time. This is normal. Time Machine resumes incremental backups after the full backup is completed.
    I suggest you make an appoint at the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store and they will help you restore your computer. Make sure you take in your old MBP and your Time Machine back up disk as well.
    Do not use instructions above for a TM restore now, because it will only reinstall Lion 10.7.4 not ML 10.8.X.
    You need to reinstall ML first and then I think all of your problems will go away.
    So did I guess right? Did you launch TM and restore or did you launch Migration Assistant to move files?
    Hope this helps, if you cannot get to the Apple Store, I can try to walk you through reinstalling ML, but first we need to download a copy of ML.

  • Buying a Macbook Pro in the States and using it in the UK

    Hi everyone,
    I am in America at the moment and was thinking of taking advantage of the exchange rate with the dollar. If I was to buy a MacBook Pro here in America would I have any issues with it in the UK?
    I know we have different power supplies, will the MacBook over heat in the UK or does the power adaptor transform the power before it goes into the Mac?
    Are there any other problems that I may have with it?
    Thanks,
    Jamie

    I have purchased my MB Pro in Canada, and I have received service in the UK without any problems.
    If you decide to seek service at the Apple Store, I strongly recommend Pro Care. I have walked into many Apple Stores worldwide, and I have been treated like a king because of it.

    PS
    As for power, I would invest in the following.

  • What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for MacBook Pro A1278 Early '11

    What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for macbook pro A1278 Early 2011?  I have seen 750GB on some websites, but I would like a 1TB  I am looking for SATA 6.0GB, 1TB 7200.  Is this dependant on the physical size of the hard drive? I have seen a height of 15mm and 9.5 mm.  How do I know what will fit??

    I have not seen any 7200 rpm 1 TB HDDs.  They all are 5400 rpm.  I would say that this HDD comes closest to your requirements.  Tomorrow, there may be others.

  • I am going to buy a macbook pro for grade 12, and I need to know wheather I should get a macbook pro or a macbook pro retina. If someone could tell me (in a very simple way) which one is,better for me and why, I would be ever so apprreciative.

    Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
    Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
    You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
    Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
    Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
    If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
    You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
    Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
    good luck

  • Should I buy a Macbook Pro for college? If so which one?

    Going to college in a couple of weeks. I was planning on buying a Macbook Pro but I don't really know if I need it or if it's worth the price. I was looking at the 13 inch i5 and i7 versions. If I would buy the i5 one, I would like to upgrade the hard drive to 500G for an extra 50 bucks but was wondering if it was worth just going for the i7 processor version which already includes a 500G hard drive. It would be an extra 250 dollars. Also, if I buy either one of these, will it last me 4-6 years of college? I know that technology goes by fast and would rather spend an extra couple hundred dollars if its going to last me longer. I am majoring in Petroleum Engineering and will not be using much video editing or gaming.
    I've been reading many reviews and statements about Macs from all over the internet but I have a few more questions about Macbook Pros. I have always been a PC guy.
    Do Macs really stay fast longer? Like doesn't slow down as much.
    How limited is the compatibility now days?
    Worth the big price tag?
    How big of a difference is the i5 and i7 processors?
    Can you put a laptop lock on it? It will probably be a big target for thieves and I hear there are many in college.
    Should I get Apple Care?
    Is there more programs I would need to buy? I am getting a 100 dollar gift card thing to the apple app store but wondering if I need Microsoft Office or something that isn't from the Apple store
    The reason I ask these questions is because I would rather have an answer from a community of people with multiple answers and opinions than a biased website or reviewer. Well there will be some biased since this is an apple forum but please answer truthfully and as unbiased as possible please! Thanks!
