New Mac book pro won't move off 'thank you screen'

Hi All,
Transfered files from old mac to new mac during first start-up, this went ok, but after clicking 'start using your mac' the wheel has been spinning for a number of hours without moving on!
It won't do anything and is stuck on this screen!
Please help,
Tom

  • Brand new out of the box Mac book pro won't go past register country screen. esc starts voice over, cannot click or enter to go to next set up screen. Help!

    I have a new Mac book pro, powered up, won't go past welcome, choose country screen. VoiceOver works, I can use arrow keys to toggle up and down country list, but the continue button arrow will not work. Pressing enter makes an error tone. Tried everything to select country and proceed through setup, no luck. Supposed to be first Mac, present for my wife. So far not impressed!

    I just purchased my first Mac last night and also had the same problem.  You have to press down on the track pad to hear it click.  After you get it all setup you can set the track pad up for "touch" clicking.  Hope this helps.

  • Old iMac numbers 08, new Mac Book pro won't let me open numbers without converting to Numbers 09

    I bought a new Mac Book Pro and when moving my Numbers and Pages files to the new computer it will not allow me to open the files until I update them to Numbers 09 first.  On my iMac I was running Numbers 08.  Any suggestions how to tackle this issue? 
    Thanks,

    Hi onnygirl,
    Numbers 3 will not open Numbers '08 documents.
    On your iMac, open and then export your Numbers '08 documents to Excel.
    Transfer the Excel documents to your MacBook and they will open in Numbers 3.
    Numbers is not an Excel clone, so there will be some glitches .
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • My New Mac Book Pro and not able to play You Tube,Help me

    Hi,
    This is my Mac Book Pro just out of the box-Xmas Present.
    I am unable to play the You Tube on it!!
    {I have a Mac Book Air with Snow Leapard OS that plays You Tube well}
    How could I play you tube on my new Mac Book Air that has Lion OS?
    Regards

    OK, Thank you.
    I could see that it prompts me to download something like what you have said, but was hessitant to do that becase I thought Apple and Adobe does not work together.
    Happy Xmas to you.

  • HT1338 My brand new Mac Book Pro won't download the new iTunes or 10.7.4 update. I get this message The update "MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0" can't be saved. I am using a Verizon MiFi which is my only internet.

    q

    I would try doing it again (running Software Update), immediately after doing a Restart.  If it still does not work, both of those updates are available as stand-alone installers.
    The latest iTunes (10.6.3) can be downloaded here
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    This is the updater for 10.7.4, assuming the current Mac OS X version is 10.7.3
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1525
    If the current Mac OS X Lion version is earlier than 10.7.3, this is the "combo" updater

  • I've ordered a new mac book pro 15" and i need to clean hard drive off my old PC...not really to move them to the mac, but just to save in case needed; mostly pics and office docs....any suggestions?

    Buy an external USB hard drive and copy your data to it.  Either that or burn them all to single or double layer DVDs (depending on amount of data you have).  Or if it's really a small amount, consider putting it all on a USB memory stick.

  • Just brought a new Mac Book Pro and wondered how to move my apps from the iPad to this?

    Just brought a new Mac Book Pro and wondered how to move my apps from the iPad to this?

    iPad apps will not run on a Mac.
    iPads use the iOS operating system. Macs use the OS X operating system. Apps for one won't run on the other.
    The most that you can do is store the content on your iPad in the content libraries of iTunes for Mac. You can play the music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts from the iPad using iTunes on the Mac. As well as, read iBooks from the iPad in iBooks for Mac.

  • HT1751 How do I move my entire iTunes library from my iomega hard drive to my new Mac Book Pro?  I no longer want to keep my music on the external drive.

    Because of a lack of enough memory on my old Mac Book, I put all my music on an external hard drive.  Now that I have a new Mac Book Pro with lots of memory, I want to move the music onto this new computer but I haven't been able to yet.  I tried the migration assistant but that didn't work.  Any suggestions?

    I may sound like a real rookie here, but on my new MacBook Air there isn't a "Pictures" folder under "Users/kendallwilson" like there used to be on my old MacBook Pro (Early 2011). I'm still working out the new software on my MB Air, so where exactly should I open this new window to start following the steps you just provided me.
    Thanks again!

  • I just bought a new mac book pro 13'' and i bought a toshiba 1tb hard drive aswell, i formatted it to mac but it will not show up on my tv so i can watch movies? and solutions or reasons why?

    i just bought a new mac book pro 13'' and i bought a toshiba 1tb hard drive aswell, i formatted it to mac but it will not show up on my tv so i can watch movies? and solutions or reasons why?

    TVs don't support "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", so you will probably have to use FAT32. To format the external drive, follow the same steps as you did to format it with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled), but in the erasing screen, select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". Note that FAT32 isn't compatible with files bigger than 4 GB. Also, you may have to format the external drive in a PC

  • HT201272 how do i put my music off my i phone on to my new mac book pro i don't want to erase it all

    how do i put my music off my iphone on to my new mac book pro, i dont want to erase it all

    The iphone is not a backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    You should copy everything ( files/docs/pics/contacts/calendars/music/etc) from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one - as you would any time you get a new computer.

  • I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

    I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

    It begins with: F-285-NER-151-QBQ-and continues with 5 more 3 or 4 letters/numbers..
    Yes, that is the number. And what version of Aperture have you installed? The same version as on your old Mac?
    But it don´t work on my new Mac...
    In what way does it not work? Does it require you to enter a licence number for Aperture 2 as well? That will be necessary, if your serial number is an upgrade serial number. Then you will have to enter all previous numbers as well.
    Or does Aperture not accept the number as correct? Then check the spelling; some letters are easily confused like "I" and "1" and "O" and "0". Do not use the number pad to enter the numbers.
    See: Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers

  • My Mac book pro won't charge. But the connector is plugged in and shows that its charging but it says it has 0% but if I unplug it it will shut off

    My Mac book pro won't charge. But the connector is plugged in and shows that its charging but it says it has 0% but if I unplug it it will shut off. It's been like this all day but I didn't notice till I turned it on.

    It's either a power adapter issue (not likely) or (more likely) a power supply problem on your MBP. Take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem.
    Good luck,

  • I can't add printers to my new mac book pro with retina display

    I am trying to set up my HP wireless printer to my new mac book pro with retina display.   I can't get it to work!  I have down loaded the latest driver for my printer, and when I go into the printer area and try and add the printer, nothing shows up and it won't let me even add it.   I can't seem to connect my mac directly to my printer either as I must need a different cord as there does not seem to be a port for the "phone like jack" that I could fall back on with my old Mac.    My printer prints great so I hate to just buy a new printer, but I can't get this to work.   My wireless router is located in the basement, far away from where I keep my printer so it also makes it hard to rest everything.  I even bought the blue tooth adaptor for the HP printer thinking that would solve it all, and nope!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I have made some progress.... I can print wirelessly from my printer now, but I can't set the printer itself to be wireless.  I had to move my printer downstairs to where my router is...which is not that convient.   I printed up the page you asked about....and as expected, it says it is off line and there is no IP address.    So now I need to figure out how to make my printer itself wireless.  I did download the HP driver I needed...but I can't access it to do anything else.  It seems l like I am missing a step... or I need to hook up my computer itself to the printer to help get the printer to be wirelss, but I can't hook it up because there is no port for me to do that (no port that looks like a phone jack).  I am guessing I would need a different type of cord, but I am not sure what kind of cord that would be! Ugh!
