Macbook pro, ipad 1&2 were stolen
My Macbook Pro was just stolen by yesterday, not only mbp, ipad 1 & 2 32gb 3G even magic mouse, carrying bag and senheiser earphone were all stolen! Really depressed with that.
I've reported to police and changed my Apple ID already, what else i can do now? Any chances that can trace my mbp??
I have no insurance for those since i'm renting house only..now cry also no use at all.
Who do you want to report your stolen devices to? You said you reported your loss to the police.
Be sure to go into your iTunes Store account and deauthorize all your devices. Did you deuathorize your account with AT&T or whoever your 3G carrier might be?
Did you have Find my iPhone, iPad, or MBP turned on thru iCloud, or Lojack for Laptops turned on? If not, I am afraid there's not much luck tracking your devices.

How do I get my photos off 1st generation itouch? I have macbook pro, ipad, iphone. Itouch syncs but does not have option to share in any capacity ie send via email, etc. Also, the computer from which photos were originally taken from has crashed.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Did you fail to back up your pics?
The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality. -
What can I do to get "maps" to work on my Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone when connected to wifi at home. iPhone "maps" work fine when connected to cellular service. Maps on wifi shows me about 55 minutes away from my current location. Very frustrating. I called Time Warne,r my service provider, but they had no answers since they were not knowledgeable of this situation. Anyone else having problem? I just updated all devices to newest update. Is that the problem.
Did you bring your wireless router with you? If so, it's possible the iPad is getting its location through the router and the router still "thinks" it's where you used to live.
Try taking your iPad to another location where there is wifi (such as a coffee shop). Then, try an app that uses location services. If it's accurate at another location, then the source of your problem is your router.

how do you permanently delete apps from all your mac products (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone)
They are not taking up storage space. Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can. This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ... -
My ipad and laptop were stolen, how can I get my data back?
Both my ipad and laptop were stolen. Ive downloaded itunes onto a new laptop but none of my files are there. I was using iCloud.Can anyone help?
You're music can be downlooaded (if it was purchased using iTunes) have you signed into your account in iTunes on the new laptop?
If the music was not purchased from iTunes and you are using iTunes Match you can also download it. If you are not using iTunes Match music that was not purchased from iTunes is gone. -

Fix iPhone Apps Stuck "Waiting" During Installation
Try update the apps one at a time -
Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac. I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network. While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs.
There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline? Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone. -

Does anyone know what the model # is of the current MacBook Pro 15in, 2.3 GHz , 4GB memory, 500 MG HD? Is it MD103LL/A? My MacBook Pro (3 yrs old) was stolen and my ins co found this model at Best Buy for $1799. Want to know if they're same, specs? Thank you!
Yes, it is in the United States and Canada. In other countries, the LL will be something else.

Music from MacBook Pro/iPad/iPhone never streams immediatly
Anybody recognizes this problem?
Everytime that I start a musicfile from either my MacBook Pro, iPad or iPhone I have to switch the audio output back from ' Apple TV' to 'Computer' and than back to 'Apple TV' otherwise the Apple TV is automatically switched on but no music sounds... My idea is that with the first time I choose it Apple TV is switched on, but than has to me activated, which only seems to be possible doing one step back (choose Computer) and than again one forward by choosing the Apple TV again.
I was hoping that this problem was solved with:
Apple TV Software Update 4.4.3
Feature
Summary
Audio output
Addresses an issue in which audio may not play through the optical port when the TV is turned off.
But there still seems to be some problems with this...
Any solutions or suggestions?!?IS tnis the computer with which you normally sync?

Macbook Pro - iPad compatibility?
As I mentioned in an earlier post (like 3 minutes ago in fact), my sister got hereself a nice shiny new Macbook Pro. I have a nice shiny iPad and I was wondering, since they both have bluetooth and all, is there a way for the two to communicate?
I'm not sure what information they could exchange... maybe some pictures or Word files. Some kind of chat could be cool. I was also hoping I could take her iPod Touch and make it into a kind of remote control, for when we want to watch DVDs on the Mac. There must be some kind of app for that, right? Converting your bluetooth capable handheld into a Mac remote?I don't think if they were connected, you wouldn't be able to do anything with them. And the remote application works for the iPod touch. It only works with itunes, but it might be helpful.

MacBook Pro, iPad IV and iPhone 4S Cannot Connect to Server
I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5, and an iPad IV, both less than three months old. I also have a pair of iPhone 4s's.
All of a sudden none of them can reliably connect to our AT&T Wireless home internet. There are particular websites we are blocked from viewing, notably any apple website, including apple.com, apple support, itunes, and App store, but also random ones like Wikipedia and others. We constantly get the "cannot connect to server" message. Yet other websites load right up with no problem.
Many websites are seriously snarled up, particularly Ebay, which is a critical one for me to have quick access to. Ebay screens are scrambled and out of order, act like purchases are being made when they're not, and photos don't show. All we get is little blue questionmarks.
Multiple PCs running on our home network work just fine, and we can get into any website with them. But ANY apple product is just stymied. We can turn off wifi on the phones, and get into websites with 3g, but as soon as the wife is turned back on, we're back to square one.
Nothing has changed on our network recently, although we did get a new router about three months ago after having consistent outages. I have noticed our wifi getting glitchier and slower as time goes by, but again, it affects the Apple products, until it just went totally haywire last week.
My husband gets wifi at work just fine, and I am accessing wifi quickly and accurately on the MBP at this very moment on a museum network.
The issue seems to be the AT&T home network, and very specifically with the full line of Apple products.
Any clean and easy suggestions? I don't want to have to jump through hoops on four different products, and I now suspect it's something to do with AT&T?Pleeeeeeease. Somebody? Anybody?
I can't get into Facebook, or Ebay on my MacBook. Life is too short to weep and lose hair over computers. Surely there's a quick fix I just haven't thought of? -
I have a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2.

I have my Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Notes set up to sync over iCloud among the three devices.
I haven't had a problem with the Mail or Contacts syncing (at least not as far as I know), but the Notes and the Calendars don't seem to stay sync'd up. I will notice that they aren't sync'ing, will delete and re-sync and they are fine for a while, but inevitably they stop sync'ing at some point. This has been true through earlier incarnations of operating systems, so not something new.
How can I get them to sync and stay sync'd?Soundman562 wrote:
There used to be a tab under Itunes that allowed you to select to sync things like calendar, notes etc. but this is no longer there, can anyone help?
This was removed in 10.9. You may have better luck getting assistance in the relevant Mac forum. -
Questions about mac mini iTunes server, streaming to macbook pro, ipads, etc.
I'm thinking about getting a mac mini to work with my NAS as a iTunes server. I have a bunch of questions about this. I will have two iPhones, a few iPads, and a laptop that will be accessing the files. I have iTunes match. This is basically to keep an always on computer for hosting the music/movies. My questions are as follows . . .
#1 Are there any good, comprehensive guides to show you how to do this?
#2 Can the movies be accessed when not at home on the shared network?
#3 Can the iPads or the macbook pro download the shared movies to be stored locally?
#4 Back to #3, how will it work on my macbook pro with listening to music (I have iTunes match)? Say i go to library and I break out my macbook pro and I don't have internet. What happens if I download music while at home onto my macbook pro to listen to it when I go to the library? Will i start a new library on my macbook pro? How will that mesh with the home server when I come back.
#5 Is there a way to mirror files or folders? So something that I have on my macbook pro will also mirror on the home server.
Thanks for your help on this. I'll post any follow up questions.seanfenton wrote:
1. I want to replace the Optical drive with a 2TB SATA. can I use this 2.5 inch?
I do not know if it is the same model number, but this one will work in your MBP:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/SEAGATE%20OWC/ST2000LM003M/
2. I want to replace the HD with a 128GB SSD 840. When I replace these drives, will my OS still be in tact? I have never done this job before.
No. You will have to format the drives in Disk Utility>Erase to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then install the OSX by using the original install disks.
3.) I want to replace the ram sticks to max capacity. This is 2 2GB sticks, Correct?
No. An early 17" 2008 MBP will accept 6GB RAM with the following specifications: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM. The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
4.) Most difficult...
I want to extend the monitor wirelessly to a projector. I thought about using Apple TV and Airplay. However, support for airplay is for MacBooks 2011 and newer. I thought of using a PS3 and the media server, but I think this brings on a format compatibility issue. (my library is so large I could not afford to convert all my movies to MP4.) So, how would you recommend I put my extended monitor with VLC player onto a projector?
Could I possibly connect the MBP to a Mac Mini as an extension? would this work natively? I would rather use a VGA cord than F with 3rd party app BS.
Cannot help you there.
5..) I want to Bypass iTunes this time around. I would prefer to use Finder and VLC to manage all of my music. I mostly play all my music on shuffle, so, could I create a playlist on VLC with all of my music and play it randomly? (im sure this is possible but i'd like to organize all my plans with confirmation.)
You are not obligated to use iTunes.
6.) Can i upgrade the keyboard to backlit? i've read that this is possible.
All MBPs have back lighted keyboards. Your either needs a NVRAM reset or a repair.

Hi all,
This weekend I had issues restoring my MacBook pro using Time Machine. I was left with question marks in the dock for the folloing apps in Bold, the others are not on the dock but they could not be found..
1. Safari
2. LaunchPad
3. Missing Control
4. Mail
5. System Preferences
6. Photo Booth
7. Terminal
8, Itunes
9. Disk Utility
10. iText Express
11. Notes
12. Maps
13. XCode
14. iPhoto
15. Calendar
They were not in Finder, and as the Lauchpad icon was not there I could not check there either. Spotlight was not showing them either. They simply were not there on the Mac.
I checked on Time Machine and they could not be found there either. I don't believe they were backed up by Time Machine in the first place. I do not have any programmes or applications excluded in the TM preferences.
Its interesting that all my 3rd party apps were there, all the missing ones are from the Maverics iOS.
I ended up having to reinstall Mavericks via a VERY SLOW internet connection and hey presto, everything came back to normal.
It was a very tense few hours as I thought I had lost the lot, photo's and itunes collections etc.
Time Machine is sold to us by Apple as the perfect solution to keep your data safe and recoverable.... Really?
I do like Apple products, but this has left me a little unsure about them now, its like the trust and confdence goes when you catch your child stealing and lying to you...The confidence will come back but I guess I will always be a little warey now..
Apple, please do something about this - I have paid through the nose for a robust system that I can rely on, not one that has aged me by 10 years...It appears only the applications where missing. So your own data were safe all the time. However...
There appears to be a bug in Time Machine that causes it to exclude items that aren't supposed to be excluded. To check if that is the case, you can find more information here: http://pondini.org/TM/D10d.html
It appears the bug is very difficult to reproduce, mainly because in most cases it is only discovered when people try to restore an existing installation.
