MPN on MAC OS 10.6.2

Hello everyone,
I am trying to find the MPN to register Iphoto.
when I follow the instructions, which are :
"if you are using a version of Mac OS X:
Click Finder in the Dock.
Choose “Applications” from the Go menu. A Finder window appears with a list of applications.
Locate and open the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Open “Apple System Profiler”. A window with information about your computer appears.
Click on the "System Profile" tab.
The computer’s MPN is located in the "Hardware Overview" section, next to the Sales Order Number label."
I found :
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac10,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: IM101.00CC.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.52f9
Serial Number (system): xxxxxxx
Hardware UUID: xxxxxxxxxx
Where is the MPN ?
Thanks

I'm confused - why would you register iPhoto? There is absolutely no need to register it and no advantage of any kind if you do. Apple already knows that you have iLife because it is included with every Mac. Also, I've never heard of any "MPN" number unless they are referring to the manufacturer's part number for the software (which would not be part of your hardware's overview), but would be found on the package label. In any case, the only important number for any software you purchase would be a serial or registration key (number) - since iLife is already included, there is no need for either of those.

  • Where do I find MPN on my MBP?

    I'm trying to find the MPN for my MBP (to register iDVD/iLife), but don't see anything under Utilities/System Profiler. Any advice?
    Also tried looking on my package but can't see any M#####... number.
    Thanks-
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    That's on the box if you buy it as a stand alone item, where it is when pre-installed I've no idea ...
    Apple say "Please note that for Apple Software, your MPN can only be found on the Product Packaging Label" which isn't much help without packaging.

  • Installing iWork09 without MPN

    I got my mac a few years ago, and used the second registration from my sisters iWork 09 software.
    Yesterday I had to use the MAC software cd to reset my computer as I had been having some issues. It subsequently wiped my iWork from my drives. I had it saved on a external HD, but when I went to upgrade the software from the trial to the full version (I have the serial number of the product) it asked for the MPN from the packaging... which i don't have...
    Does anyone know how I can bypass this? I have been using this on my mac without issue for the last 2 years until today...
    thanks

    Hi Peter
    I was asked for this MPN when I wanted, recently, to « Register » iWork '06 which I just installed on my old G4.
    Of course, like the OP, I hadn't the old package.
    I was happy enough to find a photo of a package on ebay. As it's just a product ID, not a personal code, here it is : « MA222 Z/A »
    With a bit of luck, the same info is available for iWork '09.
    What is puzzling me is that a MPN is dedicated to in-a-box iWork '09 and in this case, there is no serial number .
    PS
    In an ebay description I got iWork '09 MPN (single version) : MB942Z/A MB 942 Z
    I guess that there is an other one for the family pack.

  • Marketing Part Number (MPN)- where is it?

    I am trying to find the marketing part number on my macbook (OS X v 10.4.11) and i went to the system profiler and it isn't there. I see the serial number, but thats it; no MPN. I do not have the original packaging of my notebook, so this is the only other way I have heard of to find it. Is there another way to find this number? thanks!

    This gives the same info. Just go down the line here and match your processor type and speed. It will give the model number.

  • SCSI cards on Mac G5

    Would I be able to install two SCSI cards currently in use in PCI slots my G4 in the PCIExpress slots of a G5?
    The G5 is described (by the prospective seller) as follows: 
    Brand
    Apple
    Product Family
    Power Mac G5
    MPN
    M9592LL/A
    UPC
    0718908438565, 718908730676
    I'd be running the G5 under Tiger 11.4.11.
    Will be most grateful for any and all input.

    Thanks for the info, now I know from both you and BDAqua that they won't even fit.

     …I assume that the SCSI is for a scanner? If so, it might be time to move to the Ratoc SCSI to Firewire adapter:http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/FR1SX.html
    Actually, two scanners.  A film scanner and, most importantly, an Epson Expression 836XL Tabloid transparency scanner.  Currently I'm running each of them from a separate SCSI card, and they work flawlessly.
    I had acquired a SCSI-to-USB adapter by Microtech that I used with a Jazz drive attached to a G3 beige tower upgraded to G4.  I'll have to see if that still works.
    I absolutely plan to stay away from Leopard (if that abomination even runs on the G5) and would run the G5 under Tiger 10.4.11.
    Thanks again.

  • HT1338 MPN for iWork's 9

    I bought IWORKS by downloading it from the Apple Store online.... I am now trying to share it with another mac I have but I can not find it as a download....
    I tried to register the product but I can not find the requested MPN...
    Can somebody help me?

    I am with Peter on this issue. Additionally, if you installed the latest IOS Pages (v2.01) on an iPhone or iPad and opened a .pages file on iCloud that was created by Pages ’09 v4.n, or IOS Pages v1.7.n — that document is now in the new .pages file format and only Pages v5 on OS X can open it.

  • MPM or MPN mount??????

    Does anyone know what this is? I had a liquid spill on my MacBook. They are telling me that the logic board, battery connector and MPM or MPN mount needs to be replaced. I'm trying to see if it would be cheaper for me to do the repairs myself. So I need to know what this part is. PLEASE HELP!!!

    I don't believe so. If it is what I think it is--and I will accept my being corrected on this by someone who works on Mac innards, which I don't a lot--it has to do with your power source, which is something you don't really want to mess with. Get it right, you're good. Get it wrong, you can fry the MacBook's innards.
    Really--take my word for this, and let a pro handle your repairs.

  • Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter and Mac mini (2009)

    Can anyone tell me whether the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter listed here:
    http://store.apple.com/ca/product/M9319G/A
    works with the latest Mac mini (early 2009)?
    If it does not what other solutions are there to connect to composite, component or s-video?

    KC from Ann Arbor, MI had this to say as a review on the page to which you have linked;
    10-May-2009
    I bought a Mac Mini (May 2009) and this Mini-DVI to Video adapter with plans to use it to send an S-video signal to an analog TV. Though the sales staff at the Apple store said it should work, it does not. The graphics card apparently should support it, and it may be addressed with a future driver update, but as of now this does not work. I have used a mini-DVI to VGA adapter and monitor to verify that the port is working, and also verified that the S-video cable and TV input work. There are third party VGA to S-video/RCA adapters available so I plan to use one of those for my purposes. This is probably a 5-star product when used with the right Mac; however, Apple should have made it clear that having a mini-DVI port on your Mac is necessary but not sufficient for this to work - hence the 3 stars.

  • Multiple Family Members using a MAC

    Hello,
    Can someone give me an overview of how family members all use 1 MAC and ICloud so that each person gets their own "stuff"?  For example, I would like to get my calendar, my songs, my contacts, my apps synced with my devices--iphone and ipad.  And my wife would like her own stuff synced.  Seems pretty fundamental but I could not find any info from Apple.  Is there a way to do this if each person has a separate Apple ID?  What are other people doing?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    If each person has a separate Apple ID, as you stated, it should be no problem. However, i'm not sure exactly how you have your computer set up, if you have separate User accounts set up, or if you just use one User account.
    You should create a separate User account for each family member. Decide if you want those User accounts to be Administrator accounts, or if they are Standard accounts, and set your Parental Controls as desired. You can also find the Parental Controls settings in the System Preferences as well.
    So once each User account is established, you can copy over only the information for them (i.e. contacts, iCal events, iTunes music, etc).
    Set up to sync their iOS devices with iTunes with their information on their User accounts, with their own separate Apple IDs, and everything should work smoothly.

  • Install Windows 8.1 Pro on Mac Mini Late 2014

    I'm trying to install Bootcamp on my Mac Mini.  Windows reports that it cannot install or create a partition on the drive after formatting the BOOTCAMP partition as NTFS.
    This is my setup:
    1. Mac Mini Late 2014 with 2TB Fusion Drive.
    2. Windows 8.1 Pro x64 full version ISO downloaded from Microsoft Store.
    3. Sandisk Extreme Flash Drive (I have tried both 16GB and 64GB).
    4. Bootcamp partition = 500GB.
    5. Other USB devices plugged in: Corded USB Mouse and Apple Extended Keyboard (both of which are required to enter the serial number and navigate the installer window).
    6. No additional storage devices of any kind are connected aside from the internal Fusion drive and the installer drive.
    7. Booting from the EFI portion of the Bootcamp created Windows installer.
    I have read that I should try using a USB 2 flash drive rather than a USB 3 flash drive, so I will try that next.  I fail to understand how this could make any difference.
    If you have any other tips, please let me know.
    I have installed or helped other people install bootcamp many times over the course of the past 2 years.  Every single time it has caused endless headaches and literally weeks of wasted time.
    I have read endless posts on what is causing these problems.  I will consider summarising these for anyone else having the same problems.  Everyone has their theory so far about this Bootcamp nightmare, but so far there doesn't appear to be any one magic solution.
    Apple's inability to address the issue suggests that the problem may be with the Windows installer.  Perhaps Microsoft is deliberately causing this?
    I suspect the two most likely causes of these issues are the downloaded ISO or the Thumb Drive.
    If you have any better idea, please let me know.
    On another topic, how to I rename the NTFS partition back to BOOTCAMP?  All options to rename this partition are greyed out in Disk Utility...
    Cheers,
    Paul

    The FAT32/NTFS partition is usually not adequate for an EFI install. You can delete the BCA-created partition and create a Disk Utility partition which is formatted as Free Space. This will be split into an MSR and MSD. Fusion drives create problems, especially if the BC partition lies outside the traditional MBR 2TB boundary.
    Before you delete the BCA-created partition, please post the output of
    diskutil list
    diskutil cs list
    sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
    sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk1

    Windows installers up to W8.1 do not have USB3 drivers. These are installed after Windows is installed and BC drivers are in place.

    The requirements are pretty strict when installing Windows. Any deviations cause headaches and grief.

    The USB is usually the issue.
    On another topic, how to I rename the NTFS partition back to BOOTCAMP?  All options to rename this partition are greyed out in Disk Utility...
    After Windows is fully installed and BC drivers are in place, log into Windows, right click on it and rename it on the Windows side. It cannot be renamed on the OSX side with diskutil renameVolume. Here is an example sequence. You cannot rename volume during the installation process.

  • Format and partition external drive if you want dual use Mac / PC

    I had purchased from the Apple store in France a portable hard drive Iomega eGO USB 2.0/FireWire ov 250 Go capacity (P/N 31713900; Model: RPHD-C; S/N: FEAJ02011V)
    Originally formatted HFS+, it would mount on any of my Mac desktops with Firewire, easily on the iMac using USB and with great difficulty on the iBook with the two USB plugs (together). It did not mount on any windows PC I had used for tests (so reformatting it FAT(32) or NTFS was *not an option).
    I had reformatted it FAT32 using the iMac under mac OS 10.5 for use on multiple computers including Windows PC's. The drive would now accept to:
    Mount on the iMac and iBook using Firewire
    Mount on the iMac using USB, but it will NOT:
    1 - Mount on the iBook using USB, nor
    2 - Mount on any Windows PC using USB
    The solution was found at the office with our IT helpdesk.
    Whether I format it FAT 32 or NTFS (using the Paragon NTFS for mac OS X 10.5) on my iMac under OS 10.5, including when I do the same on another external drive than the Iomega, the PC would not recognise it while it would always mount on a Mac and it was even impossible on the PC to reformat it. The solution is (at least in windows world), you need to (1) format the drive, AND (2) partition the drive, even if this involves creating a single partition. Using Disk Utility of the Mac, I had only formatted the drive and not partitioned it into a single partition and Disk utility did not request that from me. The drive as prepared was perfectly usable on any Mac anyway.
    The cure was to go back to the imac which had formatted it, mount it (it mounts), (1) reformat and (2) partition, using a single partition.
    Then, the drive would instantly be recognised on the PC as a F drive, whether under FAT 32 or under NTFS.
    The blame is in me and on the Apple Drive utility which did not help me (trust it would have been worse in windows world, but this is a bad mark on disk utility)
    My suggestion to Apple would be that Disk Utilisty should tell us, once we have formatted a drive (HFS+, FAT 32 or NTFS using Parangon) that we are not done yet and still must create the partition(s), even if we only need one partition.

  • Error:  "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX

    Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
    I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
    I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
    Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
    My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
    Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
    I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
    I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
    Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 Error messages after update to mac os 10.4.6

    After updated to mac os 10.4.6 everytime I use Photoshop CS2 I receive an error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error"
    I did all the workarounds that were described in document 331627 from Adobe's website and nothing worked.
    I also subscribe to maxosx.com support and someone suggested removing the legal.localized/Tien...file from the photoshop cs2/legal directory, but everytime I tried to select the directory "legal" from within the finder view, it disappeared and closed the finder window.
    HELP!

    Did you upgrade from a previous version of OS X like 10.3.x or 10.2.x or from a prior version of 10.4.x? If the former, there are probably some files in your previous system folder that need to be restored.
    Otherwise, double click Photoshop when it's closed, and then IMMEDIATELY hold Command + Option + Shift. You'll get a box for resetting the settings. Select Yes and maybe that will help.

  • How do I install Windows 8 on Mountain Lion (mac mini) 2010 Server using bootcamp with out Optical Drive?

    I have a 2010 Mac Mini server running 10.8.4 (12E55).  I just bought a brand new copy of Windows 8 from micrsoft.  I have tried using boot camp and it will not recognize a burned DVD in my remote optical drive on my laptop running windows 7 or my macbook running Lion 10.7.5.   I have had Microsoft on both of my computers remoted in for about 8 hours and they tried just about everything that I've tried.
    Microsofts tech support has made me a bootable DVD and a bootable Flash Drive through remote desktop (awsome good job microsoft tech support).  I have even tried formatting my mac mini's second 500GB hard drive to FAT32 using this whole disc as my windows partition.  I know that when I go to install windows 8 it is going to reformat the drive to NTFS but all the articles that I've found, say this is what you have to do to get the drive formatted properly to get the ball rolling and get windows will fix it when it goes to install by reformatting to NTFS. 
    Ok so right now I have my second 500GB hdd on my mac mini formatted to FAT32 and I have tried to reboot holding my option key like I do on my mac book.  If I want to boot to a different hdd on my macbook all I do is hold the OPTION key during start up and you get prompted to choose one of the bootable disc that is on your computer.  Well if I put my USB drive which is bootable on my macbook into my macbook and do this right now its not showing up. 
    Now I just put the DVD that they made me in my macbook and it shows up as bootable disc.  But the USB doesn't.  (1 hour later)  I just got microsft to remake the USB drive and am going to try that again so ta ta for now and I'll come back on to post to tell you if it works.

    Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox are available from their respective sites. Read their installation instructions which explain how to install Windows.
