Is it possible to move my previous conversations from the Messages app from my old Macbook Pro to my new one?
Both are running the latest Messages 8.0. New messages are coming in fine on both computers but I would like to have my previous conversations moved over to my new computer if possible.
Are these active messages or ones you have saved? If active, make a new post and the new computer should pick them up if the setup is the same.

Is it possible to trade in my old MacBook Pro for a newer one?
I have a 2011 Mackbook Pro and was curious if I could possibly trade it in for the current one.
You might get something for it here

if it is in working condition you might be better off selling it locally

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

Is it possible to purchase an Applecare plan from the United States (LLA) for a MacBook Pro from Latin America (LZA)?
That's somewhat of a legal question which may not be able to be answered here by the uers/volunteers - I'd suggest you check with a local apple store.
In the US, you can purchase it at any authorized reseller as long as you register it with the serial number of the computer within the first 364 days of ownership, but I do not know if a US product will work with one from another country. -
How do i move all my music from my old Macbook Pro laptop to new iMac desk top?
I have a 2009 macbook pro and want to move all my music over to my new iMac desk top...how do i do this?
thxiTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 -
Should I factory restore my iPod if I'm in the middle of a conversation with the Message App?
Itunes cannot read my iPod Touch 4G contents again and I have to restore it. Would you recommend me to restore my iPod in the middle of a conversation with the built in message app? The conversation is important but I have the contact information.
Also, if you send a message to someone's phone, will that phone display the Message ID of the iPod touch?Information will be erased while fixing apple products.
As long as you are using an apple product to contact a different apple product you can find out who it is. -

Ihave a movie stuck in itunes for 3 weeks taking up 7 gigs of memory.I deleted it from the videos app but still remains on the ipad.I also tried deleteing it from itunes on the pc but it does not appear there.Dont want to reboot the ipad if possible .Thanks
That list includes all the apps that you installed to your device directly from iTunes on the computer, or which were purchased on the iOS device and subsequently transferred to iTunes on the computer.
If you right click on any item in that list and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" it will open your iTunes application installer directory on your computer, which should be:
C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications
In there are all your saved application installers (*.ipa files). You need to delete those actual installer bundles and then make sure to NOT allow the "transfer purchased content" when you sync or backup in iTunes (as that will just put them back on your hard drive).
One caveat to removing those, is that if you ever wish to keep a specific release of a particular app, and the developer replaces the iTunes/App store version with something else, your sole source for your older version will be your own stored copy of it. So for example, when PDF expert released their iOS 7 update, and charged everyone full price for it, if you wished to keep using the previous version on your own devices, then you needed to keep a copy of the installer on your own computer as that older version is no longer available in the store front. -
i just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. when i transferred data from my old macbook over, it created another user name (i called it "old computer"). That's actually good--I'm not going to be accessing old files frequently--except for music, which i want on my new user name. How do i move files from my "old comp" account to my new one? Is there a way to easily move large #'s of files, or just one by one? I've googled extensively but can only find instructions for OSX 10.6 and previous, which talks about the "Shared folder," which I can't seem to find.

That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over. -
I cleared a conversation in my messages. I do not delete. How do I get all the messages back from this sender?
Clearing a conversation is the same as deleting the messages, so unfortunately they're gone. You could always restore from a previous backup, but you would lose anything that you've added/changed etc on your phone between the last time you synced your phone and now.

How do I move iPad apps thru cloud to MacBook Pro?
How do I move iPad apps thru cloud to MacBook Pro? Was told I could by support & sales person. Did I fall for a line? Are they not compatible?
Pages, Numbers and Keynote will all run on iPhone, and iPad... and they will transfer between these two devices after you purchase a license. These apps will run on your MBP but you will have to buy a license for each "iWork" app to run on your MBP.
Any chance you might have misundestood this?
Safari runs on all devices and your URL history will be available on all iPhone, iPad and MBO Safari installations provided you are using the same iCloud/AppleID and M/L.
Does this sound familiar to your conversation with the salesperson? -

I've lost the use of Appleworks by upgrading to 10.9.2.
Is it possible to partition the internal hard drive of my MacBook Pro and install an older Mac OS (10.6.8) on the second partition with OS 10.9.2 on the other? I'd like to be able to boot to the older OS when I need Appleworks and few other applications that aren't available on OS 10.9.2.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help.Hello again, WZZZ,
Here's an update. I was successful in creating two partitions on my internal drive, and in installing OS 10.6.6 on the second partition, as per your guidence. I now have it up to 10.6.8 with all the security updates and AppleWorks. A great thing.
Some thoughts:
• The partitioning had one hitch; it failed at first. But once I "repaired" the disc with Disc Utility the partitioning went thru.
• The partitioning took a long time in 'resizing the partition.' A few hours I think it was. Lots of progress bar watching.
• If I had it to do again, I'd size the two partitions differently. My original data was occupying about 230 Gb of the 320 Gb disc. I made the new partitions share the space, about 230 and 75Gb. That left very little available space for the main disc. I ought to have put some breathing room in there. As it is, it's an incentive to clean up all those files, especially all those iTunes files. I now have about 10% of available space there and mean to continue deleting.
So, all in all a good project that got me where I wanted to go. Thank you for your help.
Appreciatively,
wallah -
Is it possible to increase the hard drive capacity on my Macbook Pro?
is it possible to increase the hard drive capacity on my Macbook Pro?
If you feel confident, you can do it yourself.
If not, Apple can do it for the small matter of money.
If you go to http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
Find you Mac on this page it has videos that show you how to replace the disk drive.
After you view the video then you can make your mind up as to which is the correct way for you to go.
