  • My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do?

    My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do? I did install a cannon printer upgrade and security upgrade. Not sure if it was something to do with that. Also I tried the disk utility repair and didn't improve anything. I also reset PRAM and SMC.

    1. Try booting in e Verbose mode - press and hold [cmd] + [v] keys just right after the boot chord sounds till you get a black screen and white letters.
    if there are some delays in the boot process  -  you should see where the system is stuck.
    this mode is not permanent - the next [re-] boot will be normal.
    2. repair permissions. disk utility does fine. Disk Warrior is better.
    sometimes after half done updates (it may happen though should not) there are items that are "belonging to someone else"
    3. try  cache cleaner (or there are some other utilities as well - I just like SlCC  more)  http://www.northernsoftworks.com/snowleopardcachecleaner.html - it's shareware though the basic functionality is free for you to use.
    Try caches -> deep cleaning (please read the developers site what it does) and select checkmark at all options - reply yes to the requests and after a reboot the next reboot should be as it is intended.
    p.s be sure you do have backup  

  • I have a Mac i5 and need to download the application 'Numbers' but everytime I try to do so, it says can't do as the ver 2.2 for the app needs new software 'Snow Leopard'. I don't want to upgrade but dont know what to do??

    If your profile is correct you're already on the final version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Sure it wasn't Lion it was asking for?
    If that's the only version available on the app store, you'll need to source a copy of the iWork '09 DVD - not cheap now - only available via Amazon or eBay etc.

  • Received new macbook pro on friday. want to return, but threw out receipt

    i received my new macbook pro in the mail on friday. i still have the box and all the accessories, but i threw out the packing slip/receipt. i tried to retrieve it from the garbage can outside my house, but found a hundred maggots in it and was traumatized. but i do still have the order confirmation that apple sent to my email. will i be able to return/exchange it?
    i have the cheapest macbook (13 in, no retina) and it overheats A LOT, so i want to buy the 8 GB ram one for an extra hundred dollars.
    assuming i will be able to return/exchange it, how much extra will i have to pay? will i have to pay an additional $80 for tax, or will i just be able to pay the $100 and get the new macbook?
    and what will happen to my back to school gift card? (i still havent received it yet, though)

    The email should be enough for them to accept the return. They may even do it by serial number.
    The other questions would be good ones to ask at the Apple Store.

  • My 2008 15in macbook pro randomly shuts down while in sleep mode. What can I do?

    I have a 2008 15in macbook pro that when it goes to sleep it will randomly shut down. Most times when I try to wake it up from sleep it will just shut itself down as well as when I close and reopen the computer it will just shut down. When I try to turn it back on it generally takes 2 to 3 tries to get it to finally come back on. What should I do? I think it might be a Hard Drive problem. Anything helps!

    Hello californiabears and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    Try resetting SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
    If you think you have a HD problem look at the HD in System reports:
    Apple menu - About this Mac - More Info - System Report - SATA
    Under SMART status does say "verified"?
    Otherwise:
    Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks - Apple Support
    Is that the original disk from 2008? If so it's due.

  • I have a pc, iphone 4s and ipad2, my daughter has an iphone 4s and macbook pro.  I want to share an itunes account.  Can there be two icloud accounts sharing one itunes account?

    Between my daughter and I, we have 6 devices, can they all share the same itunes account and have two separate icloud accounts?  My itunes account ID is different from my apple ID and my daughter's apple ID.  Is it ok that they are all different.  If yes, how do they all sync up if they are different?  Help!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes that will work, enter the iTunes Store details into itunes on the computer and into settings > Store on your iOS devices in all cases, enter your iCloud Sync ID into system preferences > iCloud on the computer and settings > iCloud on iOS devices as required for each iCloud ID.

  • My last laptop crashed (pc) and I saved the harddrive but I was unable to export as .html file, just have long, several hundred list. I don't want to export one by one, what can I do?

    My last laptop (os vista) died, all I could save was the hard drive. I was given an old spare by a friend (os xp) but my favourites are in one folder (plus the several subfolders I had arranged them in) which I've transferred, however the folder is not a single .html file. Rather all of them are arranged as their individual urls. There are hundreds, how can I import the lot? I don't have the time to do them one by one.
    thank you
    Al

    The photos are on the ipod.  Photo sync will erase them.  I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
    I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck.  They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

  • Internet Explorer keeps braking in when I don't want them. Very irritating. What can I do to stop this brake in?

    I am not any web site, but on line, and suddenly Internet Explorer pops up with a different advertisement every time. Then they say page can not be connected. This happens quite frequently when I am not doing anything on the computer. It gets very irritating when I am working on a document to just print out and not email. Then when I am quietly listening to music, another Internet Explorer ad pops up with a talking video. What can I do to eliminate Internet Explorer?....Thanks.....Terry

  • My phone is stuck in a boot loop and I don't want to factory reset...what can I do?

    It is stuck on the "M" screen and is nonresponsive in all ways other than the bootloader which I already used to delete my cache partition.

        cartergk, Let's get you out of this Booting loop. Do you recall what activity or function the phone was processing when it began to reboot this way? You can also try a Soft Reset by pressing and holding the Power button for approximately 10 seconds or until the device power cycles. If this step has been tried to no avail; the best next step would be the one provided by GalaxyClass. Here are the steps to process the Factory Data Reset: "Alternate Method: http://vz.to/1tynkBD.

  • I have just bought a macbook pro and i want to use an ext hard drive with it which i previously used on a windows computer, but when i plug it in it doesn't show up on my macbook pro, I've wiped it and just need to format it but don't know how, help

    i have just bought a macbook pro and i want to use an ext hard drive with it which i previously used on a windows computer, but when i plug it in it doesn't show up on my macbook pro, I've wiped it and just need to format it but don't know how, any help would be much appreciated

    Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
    Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen.

  • I installed Magellan Content Manager on my MacBook Pro. I want to delete it. How do I do that?

    I installed Magellan Content Manager on my MacBook Pro. I want to delete it. How do I do this?

    It is easiest to do this if you have access to an external hard drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
    Attach the hard drive.
    In iMovie on your Mac Book, click VIEW?EVENTS BY DISK.
    You should see a small icon for your external drive in your Project Library List. Hold down the Command Key while dragging the small icon for your Project to the small icon for the external drive - then drop.
    (Note 1: Holding down the Command Key makes this a move. If you do not hold down the Command key, it will Copy not Move.)
    (Note 2: If you used Keywords, use Copy not Move. If you use Move, you will lose the Keywords.)
    Now, select the Project in the Project Library so it is highlighted. Click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA...
    This will copy over all music and photos used in the project, and it will either Copy or Move all Events used in the project to the external drive.
    When done, you can eject the external drive and plug it into the new Mac.
    You can run the project off the external drive as is. However, if you want to move everything to the internal drive, you can repeat the process above. Command-Drag the project to the internal drive, and then select it, and FILE/CONSOLDATE MEDIA...
    Consolidate Media moves or copies all assets to the same drive where the project is.

  • I have a music library on an iMac and I got a new iPhone and a new MacBook Pro and I want some of the songs from the iMac library to be on my phone and my MacBook Pro and I have a new Apple ID on my phone and my Mac book pro

    I have a music library on an iMac and I got a new iPhone and a new MacBook Pro and I want some of the songs from the iMac library to be on my phone and my MacBook Pro and I have a new Apple ID on my phone and my Mac book pro, is this possible if so how do I do it?

    Providing specifics on all the ways to do this will take more time than I am willing to spend here these days.  You can do some of this with Home Sharing.  You can transfer the entire library from one computer to another, If you do that you can delete what you don't want from the transferred library.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder. If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    You do not want to use a new AppleID.  Change the  AppleID on the new phone to the old ID.  Purchases made with one AppleID cannot be transferred to a different one and it will be a royal pain to manage two Apple IDs.
    Change iTunes Store account on an iOS device - Log out of your current account with Settings.app > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) > tap on your AppleID. Log in with a different account. Note, turning on automatic downloads or re-download past purchases may tie the device to that account for 90 days - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 https://discussions.apple.com/message/18484935 - "In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account") When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again."
