My new ATV remote also controls MacBook pro. How do I get it to stop?

The computer is in the same room as the Apple TV. The remote controls both devices but each is doing a different thing. I have tried to unpaired the remote from the MacBook but it doesn't seem to complete the unpairing. How do I get the MacBook to stop recognizing the remote?

On your Macbook go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > click Privacy Tab then click Advanced Tab at the bottom right and a window will come down. Enable the bottom option "Disable Remote Control Infared Receiver" - your problem will be solved!

If the old laptop was a mac also, then use your Time Machine backup to restore you user settings and files.

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

Software updates don't upgrade your current operating system to a new one, you have to purchase a newer operting system if you want one.
If you want iCloud, first you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 (10.6.8 preferred), then you can download Lion from the app store.
Snow Leopard requirements: $29 USD from Apple : http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Lion general requirements: $29 USD app store.
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

Back up all data before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. When prompted, enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
Then, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
Enter the password again.
You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.
If you can't turn off encryption in Disk Utility because the menu item is grayed out, you'll have to erase the volume and then restore the data from a backup. Select the Erase tab, and then select
Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
from the Format menu.
You can then quit to be returned to the main Recovery screen. Follow these instructions if you back up with Time Machine. If you use other backup software, follow its developer's instructions.
Don't erase the volume unless you have at least two complete, independent backups. One is not enough to be safe.

You can either use Office for Mac 2011 or use Boot Camp to run Windows or use a VM, such as Parallels Desktop to run Windows. Running Windows, you'd be able to use MS Office for Windows.

By upgrading to OS X Lion 10.7.2 or higher (required for iCloud). First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements 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
Mountain Lion requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store. If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

If you are referring to the original system reinstall discs that shipped with every Mac before Lion came out you'll need to contact Apple with the serial # of your Mac and order a replacement set of them.
Or look on one of the Auction websites or places like iFixit.com for a replacement set.
If your Mac came new with any of the Download Only versions of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks you don't need any discs to reinstall OS X. You use the Online Internet Recovery system or the built in Recovery HD partition inb the internal hard drive.
For the built in Recovery HD hold down the Command + r keys at startup. For the Online system hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen.

HT1338 Calendar is missing on my macbook pro. how do I get it back please?

I am on OS X 10.8.3
MacBook Pro
Calendar was fine and in use until I suspect I had visitors and theirchild was on my mac.
On the Dock is a question mark with the number 28 (today being 28th April) where the Calendar used to be.
No sign of it in Applications or on my mac.
How do I go about re-installing Calendar?
I can't locate any OS disk.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
As it's a OS X app, you have to reinstall OS X. Lion and Mountain Lion come with OS X Recovery, so hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting and reinstall OS X.
Have you checked if Calendar is in the Trash?

Pre-owned macbook pro, how do I get rid of app updates for previous users?

I have 2 updates in the app store that are flagged for updating, every time I click update it brings up a user that isn't me and I don't have the password for. How do I get rid of these? and ensure any update (e.g. iphotos is one of them) are for my apple id? Any help welcomed

What you really need to do is wipe the drive completely by repartitioning it as one partition and then reinstall the original version of OS X that came on that Mac when it was shipped from the factory. Otherwise that system will always be tied to the original owner.
How you do that depends on what version of OS X originally came on it when it was new. If Lion or Mountain Lion you use the online Internet recovery system. If it originally came with Snow Leopard then you should of gotten the original system discs that came with every Mac prior to Lion coming out. If you don't have those system discs you can order a replacement set from apple for a small fee.

I have seperate music labraries on my iphone and macbook pro, how can i get them together

how can i fix this?

I think I finally got rid of them. I found a Dec 2011 PhotoStream in the iPhoto list (on the left of the screen). While I couldn't delete the "folder", I could move all the photos to the trash and empty the trash. Now, let me tell you, the photos I wanted to delete were not in that PhotoStream, but it seemed to do the trick. Then I made a new photo stream and so far so good.
Next time I'll try your method. Probably works, I was just desparate to get rid of the old photos.
thanks!

IMovie text library only shows 1 font, previously it would access all the fonts on my MacBook Pro - how do I get them back into the iMovie library?

iMovie has lost contact with my font libraries. It only shows 1 font and I do not know how to re-connect it with the font libraries

Hello there ATCLTD,
I was think these troubleshooting steps will be the best for the issue you describe.
First I would perform a safeboot with this article named Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564.
To perform a Safe Boot, press and hold the Shift key immediately after your Mac starts up. Continue holding down the Shift key until a gray Apple logo appears on the screen.
And perhaps this article to troubleshoot duplicate fonts, which can cause all kinds of wonky activity.
Font Book 198: Resolve duplicate fonts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5960
Take care,
Sterling

If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it.
