My macbook pro had to be repaired and I lost iPhoto in the process. How do I get it back?
My mother board had caps that were blown because I spilled coffee on the table and some got into the bottom vent of my computer. As a result of the repair, all my apps were gone and I am in the process of trying to get them back. I was easily able to get MS office back because I had the download receipt, but I don't know how to get iLife back. Any ideas?
If you purchased the machine new and it had OS X 10.7 or 10.8 on it, then you will have to talk to Apple because basically it's another machine as you likely had your logicboard switched, thus it has a different serial number and all AppStore software is copy protected and tied to your AppleID.
If your machine originally came with 10.4, 10.5, or 10.6, then you can try to see if those installers will work as the iLife is on the disks, or you can use Pacifist from Charlesoft to extract the apps and put them on your machine, then Software Update so the versions are current.

I Connected My IPad 1st Generation To The Computed To Have It updated And I Lost All of My Pictures, How Do I Get Them Back?? Help, Please!
Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing. -
One of my computers crashed and I lost all my itunes library. how do I get this back?
My daughter accidentally downloaded a virus and my computer crashed hard along with the back up hard drive! I was able to recover just a few item using all the data retrieval software but 90% of my stuff is gone or corrupted including all my itunes. I was told that Itunes would allow a one time restore/ is this correct and if so how do I do this?

Hi Kelly+40,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]? It will show you how to enable the toolbar and lots of other cool information. It's actually quite easy!
Hopefully this helps! -
I changed my ID account on my ICloud and lost all my contacts. will they come back when I resync?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
What do you mean by changed your ID. Is it a new account, or did you just change your address under the same account. -
I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

I have a macbook pro and I connected a new iphone to my computer. Somehow all my pictures in the iphoto app deleted. How can I get them back, and no I do not have my TimeMachine On. Please help!
If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

I own a MacBook Pro 15-inch early 2011 and I want to upgrade the ram to 16 or 8gb is it ok to use a corsair brand memory?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. Corsair RAM is compatible with your Mac and the Early 2011 MacBook Pro supports 16 GB of memory. Make sure you buy the correct memory for your MacBook Pro. See > http://www.corsair.com/us/memory-by-product-family/mac-memory-upgrades.html -

I just updated my MacBook Pro to 10.7.5 and got a message that the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext was improperly installed and cannot be used. How to I find and install this extension?
Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, copy and paste the entire following line into it, and press the Run button:
do shell script "chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" with administrator privileges
If it doesn’t work, throw that item away and then reinstall iTunes.

I have a Macbook Pro early 2011. i don't have AirPlay on my computer. How can I get it. I have read that early 2011 should have the AirPlay option. Any ideas please.
Hi All,
I need your expert advice to proceed. I bought apple TV and it works fine with my iPad and iPhones also fine with itune of my Mac Book Pro BUT I am not seeing setting which says "Airplay Mirroring" in system preference -> Display at all.
I checked my mac serial number and it shows the model as below. As far as I understood this feature should be there from 2011 onwards.
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
Please suggest!!
Thanks and Regards
