Macbook Pro 10.5.8 won't allow upgrade of iTunes to sync with iOS 7

Macbook Pro Mac OS X 10.5.8, won't allow upgrade of iTunes 11 to link in with iOS 7 iPhone update.
Do I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard operating system? Or Mountain Leopard operating system?
Help please!

You need to upgrade your version of OS X. Whether it is to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mt Lion (Not Mountain Snow Leopard) for the newest iTunes to work with iOS 7 I'm not sure. I don't own an iPhone and if I did I wouldn't be installing iOS 7 on it.
Oh and let me add you must first upgrade your Mac to Snow Leopard to be able to upgrade it to any of the newer version of OS X. Both Lion and Mt Lion are only availble from the Mac App Store which can only be accessed from Snow Leopard 10.6.7, or above 10.6.8, or from both Lion and Mt Lion.
So no matter which newer version of OS X you end up with you'll need to first upgrade to Snow Leopard.

New MacBook Pro 'sees' WLAN but won't allow to select

Hi
So I just arrived home with a new MacBook Pro and tried to set up my inbuilt airport to connect to my wireless router and no cigar. So frustrating. My old MacBook and iMac are able to connect to the wireless router via inbuilt airport but not my new MacBook Pro. I have tried using the assistant and diagnostics and have achieved no joy. The weird thing is that WLAN comes up as an option and I select it wherever possible but when it comes to the last screen in network preferences, where you select the Network Name, it allows me to select it and then in less than a second it reverts back to 'no network selected'. Go figure.
So it clearly can see my WLAN. I have tried to see what setting are different on this MacBook Pro (accessing internet via cable as no other choice at the moment) and my old MacBook and can't see anything obvious. But then again there's not a lot of settings.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I love Macs and have been a user/owner for eons but this new one is really frustrating me. Not the usual warm and fuzzy oh I have a new Apple experience. Disappointing.
Fingers crossed one of you out there can help me discover the joy again :-)

P.S. I am using an older Belkin wireless router that my MacBook and iMac can recognise in a heart beat.

looks like I hit the nail on the head with that one. Fact is I'm back to 10.5.2 and NO more Airport connectivity issues.
I have 2 black macbooks, a 15 Pro and 2 macmini's. I've had to roll back 2 of them for the same reason, 10.5.3 clearly breaks Airport connectivity reliability, no ifs ans or butts about it.
I'd like to use automator, 10.5.3 fixes many of the problems with that I've experienced but I cannot go to it as wireless is the only way I have to connect.
Here is what my system.log looks like AFTER rolling it back with Archive & Install:
Jul 16 11:51:07 Macintosh kernel[0]: sleep
Jul 16 11:51:07 Macintosh kernel[0]: System Wake
Jul 16 11:51:07 Macintosh kernel[0]: Previous Sleep Cause: 5
Jul 16 11:51:07 Macintosh kernel[0]: EIR is not supported.
Jul 16 11:51:11 Macintosh kernel[0]: AirPort: Link Up on en1
Jul 16 11:51:11 Macintosh configd[34]: AppleTalk startup
there is NO Airport Beacon Lost as before, no connectivity problems. My daughter has a brand new white macbook she bought last week, she has a WRT54G Linksys and doesn't have any problems with connectivity, her boyfriend bought a 15" Pro at the same time, he upgraded to 10.5.3 he immediately started having problems (there IS a reason new ones come with 10.5.2), he rolled his back and it works again.
I've done this several times, apple may know about it but they haven't come out with any fix that I know about. I reported it to them the day 10.5.3 came out. I am not upgrading again until I see a patch that specifically says it addresses Airport reliability.
I don't run parallels, or any other virtual machine, hard enough keeping a vigrin OS up to date. The only 3rd party software I run is Firefox and Office 2004.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

Macbook Pro shut off and won't turn on or charge?

I purchased my Macbook Pro August 1st 2012 at Best Buy and in April it shut off for no reason and it wouldn't charge. Apple replaced the battery cable and my Macbook worked for a couple of weeks, then in May same thing happened and Apple replaced the MLB, a couple days later the same thing happens and Apple replaces the Magsafe board with cable. Then a few days later specific keys on the keyboard stop working and Apple replaces the topcase with keyboard. Now 120 days later my Macbook Pro shuts off and won't charge for the 4th time. My Macbook is now out of warranty but I don't think I should pay since this is the 4th time my MacBook Pro shuts off for no reason and won't charge. Yes I already tried reseting the smc, still didn't work. What could be causing this and is there anyway Apple will cover this since is the 4th time it shuts off for no reason?

Call Apple Customer relation and explain your situation. Have your receipts for the work that was already preformed on it and ask them to replace it with a new unit.

I just changed the hard drive on my macbook pro 13" and it won't turn on. I need to put the latest operating system on it.

MacBook Pro 10.6.8 Won't recognize disc, why

MacBook Pro 10.6.8 Won't recognize disc, Why??? When I load a disc into the computer it sounds like it attempts to open 3-4 times and then ejects it without any window opening or explaination

Hi northsidecapt4211,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some troubleshooting steps you can take if your MacBook Pro isn't reading CDs:
Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2801
The drive accepts discs but they do not mount or are automatically ejected
Make sure the drive is not upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up.
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
The MacBook Air SuperDrive is designed to be used with MacBook Air and Mac mini computers that do not have a built-in optical drive. For best results, connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
OS X 10.7 Lion or later: Open System Information by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click System Report.
If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple, an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service.
Cheers,
- Ari

So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge.

So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge. When the charger is plugged in the light remains green as if it is fully charge. Before it died the laptop still recognized the charger but wouldn't charge. And now won't turn on.

If you've a 2013 model, depending on when you purchased the machine, I would suppose that you're still under warranty or at least purchased AppleCare? Regardless, I would take the kit to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the computer (and, if you're still under warranty, fix the computer) and, if necessary, give you an estimate for repair.
There are all sorts of things that could be wrong - a faulty adapter, bad cabling, even the entire electrical circuitry may have gone bad.
You won't know unless you had an Apple tech look it over.
Good luck,
Clinton

My 10.6.8 macbook pro's DVD player won't play a movie from Netflix. The DVD does play on a 10.5 mb pro. So DVD is ok. Message says "not permitted" when I click play. Is there a compatibility issue? Or something else?

Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

Macbook Pro (2GHz Core Duo) won't boot while ANY internal DVD attached

15" Macbook Pro 2GHz Core Duo (2006-7)
Hi all -
I'm having trouble with this macbook pro... it runs perfectly fine, as long as I do NOT attach any DVD-drive/Superdrive to the logic board (internal drives). However, if I attach the correct drive (confirmed working part) to the logic board... when I go to power it on, it attempts to start but almost instantly dies/turns off. You can hear the HDD start to spin up, but nothing else. If I hold the power button (like using the reset technique), it repeats that rapidly with a strange sound like the power is disrupted. Winding up sound... quickly, and repeatedly. Never powers on though and no screen response.
I'm assuming something is wrong with the connection site on the logic board, so I'm wondering what else I can do to have an internal optical drive. I notice a plug-in port (smaller) to the left. Is that a usable port with the right flex cable?? Or somewhere else on the board perhaps besides the connection site for the HDD? Thanks in advance.
J

I actually don't know. It might be worth a close examination of the logic board socket with a good light and magnification. A poster on the PowerMac G4 forum found a tiny resistor in the RAM slot that was causing problems, and later found a missing resistor on one of the RAM sticks. Everything is a lot tinier on a MBP socket, but if you can spot any kind of foreign object that might be causing a short, you could attempt to blow it out with compressed air.
I believe there is a kit that allows you to replace the optical drive with a second hard drive. Don't know if the second socket is for that or something else. Just a speculation--I really don't know but it has to be there for a reason.
Good luck!

My Macbook Pro starts beeping and won't turn on. Any ideas?

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro. It now won't turn on even though the light goes on. It also makes a beeping noise that won't stop until I force it to shut down. Does anyone have any ideas?

Normally - one would think that your RAM went bad if it's 3 beeps.
It could also mean that macbook can not find any valid os installed.
Have you recently upgraded your RAM? if so - take them out and install the old one back and see what happens.
if however, you never upgraded your RAM - best suggestion is to take it to Apple and have them take a look at it.

Bootcamp: Macbook Pro 13' late 2011 won't boot from USB, no superdrive.

Some months ago I replaced the superdrive in my Mac with a SSD. This resulted in my Boot Camp not working, therefore I deleted it. The thing is that I have been wanting to install Windows again but it just seems impossible. I find myself pretty confident at a computer, so it frustrates me really.
The thing is that no matter what I do, everytime I boot up from windows installation USB, Windows 7 and 8, or something like it, it gives me "No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key". I searched everywhere to solve this problem and nothing helped. I tried different images, even 32bit of both Windows 7 and 8. Even tried with my original Windows 7 64bit dvd. There is no more solutions out there on the internet I can find, so therefore I'm shouting out for you guys!
Here is what I already tried.
- Altered Bootcamp so it would create a bootable USB from a windows image. Worked like a charm, except that it would boot up to "No bootable device...". And the USB didn't show up in the boot menu pressing alt when booting. Tried four different usbs and the same story with all of them.
- Tried with a SATA-USB connector to a 250gb harddrive, "No bootable device...".
- Tried to make my own bootable USB on a Windows-computer with bootsect.exe/nt60 and everything, also Microsoft own program for the purpose, "No bootable device...".
- Tried with making a partition on both my HDD and SDD in the Macbook to boot from, "No bootable device...".
- Tried transfering all the files of the image to the created boot camp-partition, "No bootable device...".
- Reset PRAM with cmd+alt+p+r, "No bootable device...".
- Installed rEFlt, because the standard boot menu would not recognize anything else than my Macintosh SD. It did work so I could see my windows devices but still didn't boot, "no bootable device......".
- Tried to boot with rEFlt with all the before mentioned methods.
- I even desperially installed Windows from a pc on the HDD and tried to boot it on mac.... same **** story, "No bootable device...".
I really hope that someone can figure this out, because I'm ripping my hair out. I simply can't get this **************** to boot anything Windows .

Can I rebuild the USB flash drive using the discs that came with the new Macbook and if so, would they be the resulting USB flash drive be backwards compatible with my older Macbook Pro?
Yes. The version of Mac OS X that shipped with the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros is newer (even though it's still numbered 10.5.5) than the version of 10.5.5 that's available from software update. You will have to startup the MacBook from the original install disk that came with it and choose to install Mac OS X onto the USB drive. NOTE: If you want to keep any software or files that were already saved on the drive, choose only "Archive and Install" or "Update" options. (Not the "Erase and Install" option.) In my experience, though, the only option was to "Archive and Install".

13 Macbook Pro the ethernet cord won't stay plugged in.

My ethernet plug will not clip in. I plugs in and it works, but it will just slide out on its own. It doesn't click in. I have tried different cables and it doesn't make any differences. I have look at the female part of the plug and it doesn't appear that their is anything wrong with it. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have the same problem. I can verify that there is nothing wrong with the ethernet cable, as it "clips in" fine in 3 other computers that I own. Even the slightest movement dislodges the cable. I have tried several different cables, even buying an expensive cable with a premium jack, all to the same result. I believe this is a product defect, but as it's the only Macbook Pro that I own, I don't know if it's something with product design. This is a brand new 13" mid 2012 Macbook Pro.
