  • Why do mac that were purchased on or after october 1st qualify for getting pages, keynote and numbers?

    I've got a mac and i upgraded to mavericks, hoping i would get pages, keynote and numbers but then i checked on the apple website and it said only people who bought a mac on or after the 1st were eligible. Why can't i get it for free?

    Because that wasn't the deal when you purchased yours. Apple will often provide compensation for those that buy a product (hardware) within a month of a large policy change such as that.

  • Cannot receive any emails on my mac account after October 1st

    Hello Everyone,
    Any one can help me to tell me what should I do to receive emails on my mac account? After October first i cannot receive anything anymore. I want to buy an extra storage but after I go to my system setting I only see MobileMe instead of iCloud and this cannot allow me to do anything.
    I will appreciate a lot if anyone can help me and explain me what I need to do.
    Thank you

    Are you an ex-MobileMe subscriber?
    MobileMe subscribers who migrated to iCloud received complimentary extra storage up until September 30 2013. This has now expired. If you have less than 5GB data in iCloud then your storage simply reverts to 5GB.
    However if you have more than 5GB data, Backup, Documents and Mail will stop working until you either delete sufficient data to bring you within 5GB or purchase additional storage.
    For instructions on purchasing additional storage please see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874
    Unfortunately it appears you have Snow Leopard: you don't have the iCloud preference pane, only the MobileMe one which won't do anything now. You can only purchase storage on a Lion/Mountain Lion Mac, an iOS5 or above device, or a Windows 7/8 PC. If you can't get access to one of these to sign into iCloud temporarily then you can't proceed without upgrading your Mac (see below). Your only other option is to reduce the amount of data.
    For help in reducing your iCloud data please see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847
    You can go to http://icloud.com and delete as much as possible, or if you have iCloud email set up in Mail you can create a new mailbox under 'On My Mac' and drag iCloud emails to it to download them and remove them from the server.
    If you want to upgrade your Mac it will have to meet the requirements:
    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

  • Satellite U500-11G - Can't activate upgrade to Windows 7

    Really sorry about this, but with new Satellite U500-11G cannot activate the upgrade to Windows 7. Keep being told on entering serial number that it was origonally installed with Vista, but no info on how to activate.
    Any help out there please?

    Hi
    Have you used a Microsoft disk to upgrade to Windows 7? As MisterX wrote normally the preinstalled OS is always activated and I can confirm this. I never had to activate my copy of Windows.
    If you use the Windows 7 upgrade kit from Toshiba you dont have to activate your version.

  • Installing CS2 so I can install cs4 upgrade on windows 7

    I just got a new pc has windows 7 pro OS and need to install my adobe CS. I have CS2 with a CS4 upgrade.  As you can probably guess i am having trouble getting the cs to install. I would like to upgrade to cs 5.5 but if I cant get the cs 2 on to upgrade to cs 4 I doubt i can get a cs5.5 upgrade installed!   I have tried installing cs2 a couple times and keep getting the serial number screen.  When I uninstalled it I had to deactivate it so it would seem that it was acttive just unusable. I will try running the cs4 uopgrade in thje AM but was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a waste of my time or is there actually a way to get this installed and working properly.  any help is greatly appreciated.
    Keith

    I bought it from Adobe. Full upgrade price. It was about 3 years ago -
    about. I wanted a backup in case Freehand tanked. Kept using FHmx and
    forgot I even had CS4. So FHmx tanked Friday and I can't get it to show
    the toolbars. So, I'll  install CS4 and work all weekend on this rush
    job. I'm on a Mac. OsX.6.8. Also on Aleve until I get this solved!

  • I have an ipod touch 2 and rebuilt my laptop.  Reinstalled ITUNES and can't find my applications on ITunes after login.  I tried to activate Itunes again but it didn't.  How can I get my applications to display on ITUNEs?

    It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty.  You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod.  If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
    If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:

  • Will customers who purchased an iMac after the 1st October get a refund on iWorks which was purchased at the same time?

    Will customers who purchased an iMac after the 1st October get a refund on iWorks which was purchased at the same time?
    As the titile says. I purchased an iMac on the 4th October and added pages, keynote and numbers to the purchase. Now I find out if I didn't purchase them I would have them free anyway (and to make it more annoying I haven't even used the apps yet so have had no use out of them until this point). I know Apple gave refunds for the same situation on iOS iWorks in September.

    There is an up-to-date program for those who purchased new Macs after October 1.

  • I just bought an iPhone 4s and synched it yesterday.  I backed up the old phone (a 3GS), then restored all that to the 4S.  It generally worked well, except it truncated all SMS messages after October 20.  Can I get the new messages on the new phone?

    Thanks for any help.

    Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
    Have you tried each of these?

  • Trying to install FF5 crashed my laptop. After several system repairs to open Windows (Vista) FF5 is now gone, but I can't open FF4.01. I just get a blank white screen w/ the FF logo across the browser window.

    I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit version on a Toshiba A215 satellite with 2 GB of RAM. I had to repair/restore Windows several times after the initial failed FF5 install to get Windows to start.

    Sorry for the duplicate questions. My internet connection failed just I hit submit and I wasn't sure if my first question went through. I wanted to attached an image of what my screen looks like when I try to open FF.

  • Why can't I get Keynotes Pages and Numbers for free after OS Mavericks 10.9.1 Upgrade?

    I bought my Macbook Air a few days ago with the OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 update software already installed on my laptop. I'm suppose to get Keynotes, Pages, and Numbers for free under purchases in my app store but unfortunately I haven't seen any of those programs come as a purchase in my store. I've downloaded the OS Mavericks 10.9.1 software three times already and restarted my computer to see if they come in the mac store but nothing happened. I've also applied for the Up to Date program and they said they would contact me in 24 hours but it has been three days and I still haven't got a reply from them.

    If you purchased a qualifying Mac on or after October 1, 2013, that did not include Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, you can download them free by following these steps: http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/

  • I can't run itunes on windows 7 after upgraded it

    I had installed Itunes working properly until last week, with my Ipod Touch. Recently I tried to upgrade the Itunes and after that I can't run it. Supposedsly Itunes was installed but don't run.
    Please help me to fix this problem.

    I've been having the same issues for the past year and a half. I've spent 6-8months trying to figure it out. Went to various Itunes stores with pictures on my Iphone per each step so I could relay all information that I'd come across and the personnel were less than helpful, after conversations that would sometimes last an hour between myself, employees and managers they always came back to "simply uninstall then reinstall" when I told them for the thousanth time that I've done that multiple times and my errors are happening while trying to reinstall it they act stumped and say "well then I'm not sure, I'll give you a call if I figure it out" and disappear. I've been very disatisfied at the lack of support from Apple and if Android to piece together a reletively reliable phone I'd switch to them in a heartbeat. I'll follow this question incase someone can answer this, but I don't have much faith.
    BTW, wifey has Windows 7 running on the laptop and my phone syncs just fine to that and no trouble with itunes, just mine (desktop).
