My Mac book pro is asking for a 4 digit pin code what do I do?

MacBook Pro asking for a 4digit pin what do I do?

In what context is it asking for this? The only 4-digit codes that I can think of are to pair Bluetooth devices - is this what you're doing?

  • Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them

    Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them.  What can I do?

    Try the advice here. I had the same problem and it worked for me.
    You have to delete the "SC Info" folder from /Users/Shared. You will have to use Terminal to enable you to see this folder first. Make sure iTunes is not running when you delete the "SC Info" folder
    There is an article from Apple on this here. The "SC Info" folder contains iTunes authorization information.
    I did this two weeks ago and iTunes accepted by login. I haven't been asked for my AppleID or password since.

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    My screen on my mac book pro goes blank for no reason when I use f1 and f2 keys it comes back

    You can blank the monitor using those keys, that's likely what you did, it's a feature.

    Open your Displays system preferences.  Is there an Arrangement tab and does it show two screens?  If no Arrangement tab then your mac does not know it has two screens.  Maybe smc and pram reset will shake it free and maybe not.  Maybe there's something wrong with the connection.  Thunderbolt plugs are similar to mini-displayport plugs so make sure the plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket.  The plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
    If you do see two screens in the Arrangement tab then click Detect Displays and Gather Windows to get the Displays preferences of the other monitor on to your main monitor.  Check the resolution and if there is a refresh rate check that as well.

    Hey Blake Placid,
    Thanks for the question. If you have not already done so, I would download and install iTunes directly from the following link:
    Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

    Thanks,

    hi, my mac book pro, spotlight indexing process not compleate last 1 week. what should i do.. my machine speed are very poor. pls help

    System Preference/Spotlight/Privacy
    drag your disk into the list, excluding it temproraily from the indexing procedure.
    Restart your mac, and open the Privacy page again, click the disk and the minus button to re-incorporate it into the procedure and restart the indexing.
    Or just try your luck in Disk Utility/First Aid/Repair Disk Permission first.
    See if these help

    It on, it asked for a four digit pass code. After several guess attempts, making me wait for an hour to try each time, I gave up. The next day, it asked me to connect to iTunes. I remain locked up with that request. I've re-booted several times and get same request.
    Advice!! Help!

    You have to reset the iPad using iTunes if you can not remember your passcode.

  • Why am I asked for my three digit security code when I am requesting a free App.   Is this a security problem?  Is it safe to give this number for a free App?

    Why am I asked for my three digit security code (on my bank card) when I am requesting a free App?  Is this a security problem?   Is it safe, or wise to give out this number for a free App?   I have downloaded free apps before and it is only recently that this request for my security number has started to happen.  Hellp please!   Verajoan

    Your CVV code is asked for whenever the Terms & Conditions for the iTunes Store have changed, or if you access the iTunes Store from a new device, This prompt does not indicate any actual charges.
    Yes it is okay to enter your CVV code on free apps, as well as any apps from the iTunes Store as you are giving your CVV code to APPLE itself, and not to the app developer.

  • Help! I need a recommedation for a Mac Book Pro or Air for a singer-songwriter who needs to burn CDs and makes 30 minute to hour-long recordings. Thanks!

    I am a hypnotherapist and singer-songwriter who purchased Pro Tools and took a brief class, but I'm not an engineer and it is over my head. I am looking at purchasing a Mac Book Pro or Air to dumb down to a Garageband app in order to keep production moving while I learn Pro Tools.
    Can anyone recommend which laptop to get? I now have a Dell Studio XPS with Pro Tools on it. Just need to keep my clients happy,and I make recordings that are 30 minutes to an hour long for them, then burn CD's and/or make mp3s that I email to them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Many thanks!

    BTW (speaking as a Dad of 3 daughters in Grad school) if you don't already have and use a DropBox account, or some other similar online "cloud" based backup of your school documents, you should start doing so immediately. By keeping all of your important documents in the Dropbox folder on your computer, you have instant access to them from any other computer (or iPad), should you be w/o your computer while in for repairs (or if, God forbid, it is stolen). It's free for 2 GB of online storage, which is more than enough for a few years worth of Word documents, etc. (If you get other people to sign up via your email "invitation", then Dropbox gives you even more free storage space.) Every time you close a document, it is updated on the Dropbox servers (encrypted), if it is in the Dropbox folder (assuming you give it a few seconds to update before turning off your computer). Do a google search of "Cloud based storage comparisons" to compare the amount of free space each of the competing services give you.

  • Buying Mac book Pro in US for use in India.

    I want to buy a mac book pro in US, through a friend, for use in India.
    What are things I should take care about regarding customs and laws?
    Will it work seamlessly or anything is needed to be done? i heard that I may need to get a new charger.
    How can i avail student offer, if I can?
    Can I avail Apple financing?
    Will there be an internation warranty?
    Can I reach an authorized apple retailer in India, in case of a problem?
    How much can I really save? Is it worth doing after all?

    There are no laws about importing electronics.

    Yes you will need a new charger or an adapter to fit your power socket.

    No. You need to show where you are studying. They are not going to accept it if it's in another country.

    You don't reside in America, so no finance company is going to give you a loan from America. You will need to organise finance in India.

    Yes.

    Don't forget to add sales tax to the American price. You will need to work out & decide if this is worth it or not.
