New MacBook owner but would like to do a ram upgrade

hello all. I'm a new mac user and love it. I got my new MacBook on the leopard debut date. Anyways I just wanted to know where I would go about getting a better ram card for my new laptop rather then the 1 gb one I have now. Another question I have is seeing that I already have a 1gb card already installed can I go ahead and buy a 2 gb card and put it in the empty slot to run both. That way I'm running 3 gb or would that not work. Also can someone give me a good place or a good website to guy it from thanx

If you add a 2 GB stick you will have 2.5 GB of RAM which is OK to run with. That way later on you can buy another 2 GB stick and bring it up to 4 GB. All MacBooks come from the factory with two sticks installed.

Hi
The easiest and most reliable way would be to download the installer from Waves and re-install.

We purchased the three pack of Office Mac version and have installed two copies. We have a new MacBook Pro and would like to install the last version. Can you please assist.

Trying to install the last of three purchased Office MAC licenses for a new MacBook Pro. How do I retrieve info to download on to new computer. I can pull it up on my own MacBook but I already have it installed on this one. Thank you.

You purchased a boxed set, or a download? If it's a box set, look at the box for the license number. If a download, it will have been emailed to you.

I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive. I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes. With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE. In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files. When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive. I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive. Can anyone help? I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world. Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me! Help !

In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

I have Quicktime 7 on my new MacBook Air running Yosemite 10.10.1 but would like to know if I can view or run my .mkv movies/files? Or are there any approved software that can run or view my .mkv files. Thanks.

Hello kimosabe0731,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! At this time, QuickTime does not support the playback of .mkv files. For more information, see the following resource:

Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

You can't combine accounts but help here Apple ID FAQ's for resetting your Apple ID password.

I just purchased a new mac mini and would like to use my old dell monitor. I tried a HD to VGA adapter converter,it plugs in, but nothing shows on the monitor. Any suggestions? Thanks

I just purchased a new mac mini and would like to use my old dell monitor. I tried a HD to VGA adapter converter,it plugs in, but nothing shows on the monitor. Any suggestions?

What do you mean by "HD to VGA adapter converter"?
Do you mean have an HDMI to VGA adapter connected the the Mini's HDMI port?
Or maybe you plugged n the the included HDMI to DVI adapter and then connected a DVI to DVI adapter?
In either case that will not work since VGA is analog and the Mini's HDMI port is digital only.
You need to purchase a mini displayport to VGA adapter. It plugs into the Mini's Thunderbolt port.

Make sure you get a name--brand one. I purchased some el cheapo, no-name ones and they did not work

When you plug in the iPhone, go to the menu bar and select "Transfer all purchases" to move them to your MacBook Pro.
If that doesn't work. Go here for a whole list of Apps that can help you.
I personally like Music Rescue the most. You can get it here and use the License Key that they give out for FREE now.

Eww, thanks for your reply, as it makes good sense, and common sense is practical when you walk into an Apple store.
I guess all the reviews and great specs of the new MB pro's made me want one...
I should probably use my current setup till it is totally outdated or simply is beyond repair.
I could ask Santa Claus for one, but by than, the 2012's will be coming out..:)
Thanks Eww for your reply, IAN....

Am interested in Mountain Lion but would like to install in a new hdd.

Purchased new 1tb hdd. I am interested in Mountain Lion but would like to install in the new hdd. How to do that without media?

Download Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store, and when the installer runs choose the desired hard drive or partition on which to install it. Be sure the target volume is first formatted with a GUID partition scheme and with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the filesystem format (this can be done with Disk Utility).
The volume can be an external or internal drive, and a primary or secondary partition on either.
