May I know how to update preinstalled iPhoto in MacBook Pro?I was not given the password which was required for updating.

I need to update my preinstalled iPhoto in my MacBook Pro, how ever i was not issued with the password needed for updating.

AppStore software and the free iLife included on new Mac's is copy protected and can only be updated or reinstalled (free) by the original owner.
If you bought the machine used or a "open box", the original owner should have wiped the Macintosh HD partition and just reinstalled OS X, but many don't do that or what occurs is the store reinstalls OS X free and then free iLife using their AppleID.
So when it comes time to update it, you can't because you have a different AppleID and password.
It's terrible hassle with all this mega-copy protection shenanigans because it allows someone to sell you a used Mac with tons of software for more money you later can't update for security issues and compatibly with newer OS X versions.
So you can either to choose to use it as is, or wipe and reinstall OS X and then buy a copy of the software, then it will be in your name.

Do you have Aperture installed? I found your model on a compatibility list; however, there was a note that it requires Aperture 2 to be installed:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
According to this excerpt:
To see a list of digital cameras with RAW-format support that are compatible with iPhoto, visit this Aperture webpage (any camera compatible with Aperture, Apple’s advanced photo editing and management program, is compatible with iPhoto as well)
which is at the bottom of this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
I may be wrong, but I interpret that info to mean you need Aperture 2 before iPhoto will work with RAW?

You can also re-download most previous purchases (not just songs) from the iTunes Store from the Purchased screen. So, you should be able to get the "one missing purchase" back too. Sign in to iTunes using the Apple ID used to make the purchases. Go to the iTunes Store. (With the new iTunes 12, select the Music category first, then go to the iTunes Store.) Click on Purchased (along right side under QUICK LINKS). From the Purchased screen, you can find and download previous song purchases, at no cost.
You can also re-download purchases from other iTunes categories, such as Movies and TV Shows.

You should call Apple but you should get an email from Apple. I got one a few minutes ago and this is what they said about AppleCare+ :
Thank you for your recent iPhone 5 purchase at the Apple Store.
We would like to let you know that every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee.
We noticed you weren't given the opportunity to add AppleCare+ to your iPhone. If you would like to extend your coverage for only $99, please reply to this email by September 21st.
After that date, if you would still like to purchase AppleCare+ within the first thirty days of receiving your iPhone, you can call AppleCare at 800-MY-IPHONE or visit an Apple Retail Store.
Thank you for shopping with Apple.
Sincerely,
Apple Online Store Team

I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

HT4007 How can I get Aperture onto my new Macbook Pro 15" Retina that DOESN'T have a superdrive from my 5 year old Macbook Pro? I still have the CD and serial number for Aperture. HELP! PLEASE!!

Like the thread topic says. I need help getting Aperture onto my new macbook pro that does not have a drive. I have no need for a drive after this to be honest just need my programs back on it. Thanks.

Two options:
Make a disk image or a clone of the installer CD on your Mac that has a super drive - you can create a disk image using Disk Utility or use Carbon Copy Cloner (if you have it) to clone the DVD to a thumbsdrive. Then run the installer on your MBY from this copy.
Or download the Trial Installer and install from there:
Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial. http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.

Do you know how to remove idownloadblog from a MacBook Pro? Someone installed it on my computer and now I have tons of popups

Someone installed idownloadblogs on my MacBook Pro. Now it is having pop ups and I can seem to find it to uninstall it. Does anyone know how to remove it?
Thank you,

I am not familiar with "idownloadblogs" but read the following to determine if Apple's recovery procedure will work for you: How to install adware. Scroll toward the end to find it.

I do not have an icloud icon just mobileme icon. I don't know how to increase or buy more space since I do not have the icon. Advice please. Thank you.

I am getting messages about my iCloud usage but I do not have an iCloud icon in my Preferences. I only have Mobilme. I need advice. Thank you.

I assume you were are an ex-MobileMe subscriber who has had the complimentary extra storage which is due to expire very shortly. Unfortunately you cannot purchase your storage without being able to access the iCloud preference pane, and to do that you would have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion.
If you have more than 5GB of data present when Apple pulls the plug, then Apple say:
If the storage you're using in iCloud exceeds the total storage available, iCloud Backup, Documents in the Cloud, and iCloud Mail will temporarily stop working. To resume using these features, you can either reduce the amount of iCloud storage that you're using, or purchase a storage plan with a larger amount of storage than you're currently using.
You have two choices. One is to go to http://icloud.com and clear out as much as you can. Certainly all contacts and calendars, and as much mail as you can manage. Since you have not been able to sync with iCloud you cannot have accumulated all that much data.
The other is to find a way of purchasing extra storage (you can do this even after the expiration and if you don't leave it too long you may be able to retain all your data) either by finding someone with a compliant Mac or an iOS5/6 device who can let you do this, or by upgrading your Mac - it it meets the requierments.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

TS1702 The apps which were due for update won't update when asked on our iPad and the apps remained blacked out. Does anyone have any suggestions how we can get the apps downloaded? We updated the device last week.

Our iPad 2 won't update e apps for some reason they just appear greyed out and won't complete. We have the latest software so can't understand why it won't update.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

How burn DVD from iPhoto in MacBook Pro

I am trying to burn photos to a DVD . I inserted blank DVD-R, selected the photos, and selected burn from the Share drop down in iPhoto. Nothing happens.

There a few ways, but the best instructions are in the Help menu in Finder. Type Burn a CD or DVD and it has all the options (I'm not trying to be sarcastic in pointing you at the Help menu, it's just the easiest way of showing you the options , honest).
