MAC PRO LAPTOP (installed windows 7)

Hope you can help me regarding my problem. I divided my mac pro into two (mac & windows 7). I bought the windows 7 in Jarir bookstore which is original.
Last December 2013, windows 7 was installed in my mac and its fine. And now I'm encountering a problem that the Windows 7 that I nstalled was not genuine. And the screen turns black when I tried to insert the product key it didn't accept. What shall I do?

Did you download the Windows Support files when it prompted you to do so in Boot Camp Assistant? If not then you'll need to boot back into OS X and downloaed them form Apple. They are on the Apple Download site. Support Downloads.

Problems printing to printers connected to a MAC pro from a Windows Laptop

Folks,
I got a MAC PRO a couple of weeks ago and I have two USB printers (an EPSON CX 4200 and a CANON S900 connected to it).
I tried both Ifelix's procedures to add the printers connected to the MAC and I had problems with both procedures.
If I try the http://mac-ip:631/printers/printer-name I am successful in adding the printer to the Laptop running windows XP however when I try to send something to that printer the job goes straight to the "completed" queue on the MAC and nothing prints at all. I used the respective windows drivers for each printer on the XP Laptop.
I spent two hours with Apple support on the phone and they could not figure out what was going on and suggested that I post my issue to this forum to see if anybody has any ideas.
I also tried to configure the printers using Bonjour (as per Ifelix's documented method) but at some point during the printer setup I get an error message indicating that I do not have "sufficient access" to install the printer driver even though I am logged in as admin on the windows XP computer.
Has abybody experienced similar pain? Is anybody here being able to print to printers connected to a MAC PRO from a Windows XP laptop?
I should also say that my computers are in a network and both are connected to a Linksys Wireless Access point/router.
The Laptop is a wireless laptop and the mac pro is conneced to the linksys router via a regular network cable.
Also, I have no issues printing straight from the mac to both printers.
Would appreciate any suggestions/comments.
Thanks in advance for your time.
regards,
marcelo

What risks does that imply?
Well, it implies that the battery is not user serviceable, which it is not. However, your warranty has already been effectively voided by the spill. So, you don't have that much to lose. As I already said though, there are risks inherent in cleaning any electronic equipment with any sort of liquid. The safer route is definitely to take the machine in for repair, as eww says.
And for the Q-tips, when I opened the machine, it seemed really complicated to unmount or access parts with Q-tips.
Unfortunately, it is complicated. It's not something to undertake unless you are comfortable with it. And it can never be guaranteed that it will actually be clean because there are many spaces that you'll never be able to clean. I should perhaps emphasize that I would only clean the machine myself if there was no chance of being able to pay for repairs. It is sort of a last-ditch option to attempt to avoid the cost of repairs. Nothing is guaranteed though and you may have to pay for repairs anyway.
Wouldn't it be better to just let it bath in the distilled water, wait a few minutes and then let it dry?
Definitely not. If you do that you can forget about the machine ever working again, at all.
do you think there is hope that once cleaned, everything would work again ?
It is doubtful. Like I said, if paying for repairs are not an option, then you should consider at least attempting to clean it. Otherwise, you should have the top case replaced (new keyboard and trackpad).

Hot Synch does not work, Treo 755p, USB, 17" Mac Pro Laptop, even with RevD installed and Allow other HotSynch applications preference check box checked

Hi,
I am a long time Palm enthusiast who is frustrated. No more Palm products for me or anyone I speak to until I solve this problem. Someone at Palm should be paying attention to their long time cusotmers. I bought Palms in 2002 and 2003.
The support literature coming with two Treo 755p that I bought was so poor that never saw the fine print that there was three months of support if I registered the devices. The registration page does not let me register. All the fields are ghosted after I put in the serial number. I bought one in June 2008 and the other in early 2008. So never registered and can get no help from Palm now it seems.
So beside that gripe below is the problem issue info.
I can't get a Verizon Treo 755p to USB cable Hot Synch with my daughters 17" Mac Pro Laptop. It is using OS 10.5x She lives in another city so I am trouble shooting this remotely.
Did - Revd Palm upgrage has been installed.
PalmDesktopMac421Revd.dmg (17MB)
http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=4518,E=0000000000255177998,K=6239,Sxi=3,case=obj(33...
Did in advanced settings on the Treo select in the Synch preferences allow other Hot Sync applications.
That process worked however on my own Treo 755p Verizon as below:
After much work, hours over several months, I got my my Treo 755p Verizon to Hot Synch with a QuickSilver desk top Mac running os 10.5x.
Did the RevD upgrade.
Did in advanced settings on the Treo select in the Synch preferences allow other Hot Sync applications. Otherwise the Wireless Synch feature prevents a Hot Synch.
Once those both were done than Hot Synch works fine, and Wireless Synch works fine and does not interfere.
The Wireless on both PDAs is scheduled to be removed on both Treos due the economy on Feb. 4th, so I would like the HotSynch to be working so her Treo is backed up.
Thanks so much to anyone who replies to help out.
Best

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Works now, she had created a user ID as prompted when installing the HotSynch Software, but it was not the same name of the Treo 755p. The default ID was the one she from installing the software, so it showed nothing in address or contacts, but when she switched to the Treo ID than all her stuff was there.

Hi LamboMong,
just try this:
http://refit.sourceforge.net
install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
(The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
I hope that will solve your problem.

How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it. Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple. While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows). You will also not be able to install firmware updates. Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific. You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update. You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it. At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive.

I just purchased
a Mac Pro laptop and would like to run Photoshop CS 6
I currently am using my desktop which is Windows 7 what is the best way to purchase a license for my laptop

Photoshop CS6's perpetual license does not allow you to run on both operating systems.
You could subscribe to this, which DOES support your running the software on both platforms:

I am running 10.5.8 on my 17" mac pro laptop and using Firefox 3.6.17, I have tried on several occasions to install ver 4 and when I drag icon onto my applications folder it tells me I have a newer version already there. What is going on?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Check under App Store/Purchases for your purchase. Install it from there again. ... Hopefully you did buy this from Apple's App Store, right!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, check that you are looking for your USB drive in the correct place. To do it, first connect the USB drive. Then, open a Finder window (press the left icon of Dock) and choose your USB drive on the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". Finally, just copy the documents you need to the internal disk.
If you want to show the USB drive in Desktop, open Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and tick "External drives"

MAC PRO LAPTOP FRIED AFTER INSTALLING SNOW LEOPARD U/G

I am REALLY REALLY upset. I bought my daughter a top-of-the-line Mac Pro laptop in 2007. All together, with a 3-year extended warranty, it cost me $3,000!!
Because she kept getting messages that she needed to upgrade her operating system, she purchased the Snow Leopard upgrade two weeks ago and installed it.
Well, her laptop is now fried - just a week or so after installing the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 upgrade!!!!!
She took it to the Apple Store in Seattle, WA, who have told her that her graphics card is completely fried and needs to be replaced, and that she can't just replace the graphics card, because it's soldered onto the logic board - so she'd have to replace the "whole thing", which would be really expensive, around $1,000, and she "may as well buy a new computer"!!!!!!
I am REALLY REALLY upset about this - that a computer manufacturer (Apple) would sell laptops and just expect that people would have this huge outlay ready every 3 - 5 years to replace fried computers.
Has anyone else had major problems with their computers - laptops or otherwise - after installing the Snow Leopard CD upgrade??? I have read on several online forums that many people have had many different problems with their computers after installing this upgrade.
Apologies that I am not a computer-system-literate person - I'm just a mother who spent a LOT of money on a laptop for her daughter, and I truly believe that the Snow Leopard upgrade fried her computer. She doesn't have the money to get a replacement and will probably have to drop out of college courses she's taking online because of this.
Please can someone give me some advice - in the simplest of layman terms possible???

Once a machine reaches 4 years old, its PRAM battery can likely get low fairly quickly, and that can jeapordize the success of upgrades. Make sure your PRAM battery is new, if you have never changed it. This is not the battery that is easily accessible through the bottom of the unit. Bring it in to service if you can't find it through do-it-yourself repair instructions on http://www.ifixit.com/ and http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ Keep that PRAM battery checked every 4 years or so when the machine starts to misbehave.
Edit: Scratch that. I now see they diagnosed a bad graphics card. This is something that could have been diagnosed during the first year or three years of ownership with the hardware test that came with the computer. After that three years, age and wear and tear can damage a graphics card. Your best bet if you want to avoid this happening in the future, don't travel with the machine asleep (only travel with it turned off), run the hardware test every six months, and buy AppleCare for any notebook computer you buy, even if you wait till the machine is 11 months old. After 12 months, you are paying out of pocket for every single repair, even manufacturer issues that don't make an exchange/repair program. With AppleCare manufacturer issues are typically covered. User caused damage typically is not.

I have been using a Lightroom 5 including recent upgrades on my Mac Pro laptop for the past 1 year. This was purchased as an upgrade from Lightroom 4 for which I have a serial number. Today I purchased a new Macbook pro and loaded my Lightroom 5 however it is asking for my serial number which I have misplaced. I am unable to trace my serial number anywhere. I have even checked my adobe membership to locate my serial number but it does not seem to have any record which is strange as I have been using this software for over a year now and the previous versions since 2009. Could someone help me in my predicament.

Thanks; however, I was really referring to this: if it is preinstalled on a Mac, I believe the license is for that computer only (unlike an MAS purchased version which can be used on any Mac owned). Has that requirement changed?
At this moment, that's correct. The OS X license included with a Mac can only be used with that Mac. However, in the case the OP has purchased OS X Mountain Lion in the past, this may change
