New macbook pro... purchases won't transfer?

So I had all my 1600 or something songs on my iphone. I transferred them all to my new macbook using a 3rd party program, then I synced my iphone with my new computer, causing it to delete all the old songs. Then I tried to transfer all the same music back onto my iphone, and it only transferred the 1100 songs that I did not purchase from itunes, and said it was not authorized to transfer the ones that I bought, even though that's completely ridiculous because they were all on my iphone 10 minutes before that.
is there any way I can somehow "authorize" these purchases to be transferred back onto my iphone?
and on an unrelated tangent, the sheer multitude of inconveniences created by itunes superbly anal "don't share music because it is eeeevil" attitude, when I am not even trying to share music between me and other people, but simply between my own various mac devices, has influenced me to never buy another piece of itunes music again. they need some serious reconsideration in their policies, upon realization that they're not only making themselves inferior to other music sites in terms of cost, but also in terms of user-friendly qualities. FAIL itunes, fail.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

I have a new macbook pro and want to transfer my Mail autofill from my old mac. Never used Time Machine or Migration Assistant -- looks complicated. Any easy way to do this?

Thanks -- I would like to try this. I do not know how to reach hard drive from old mac to new. Can you help me with this?
There are two ways - you can boot your old Mac in Target Mode (reboot your Mac, and as soon as you hear the startup chime hold down the T key on the keyboard until you see the yellow/orange Firewire logo on screen). You can then use a FireWire cable to connect your new mac to your old one. The old Mac hard drive will appear on your new Mac as if it is an external hard drive.
Details on Target Disk Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
If you don't have a firewire cable but you do have a home network (i.e. both computers can access the Internet at the same time), you can share the hard drive on your old Mac and then connect to it on your new Mac.
Good article on sharing your hard drive: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549
Finally, if the above doesn't thrill you, you can hook an external drive to your old Mac, copy the mail folder over to it, then connect the external drive to your new Mac and copy it over. It's two steps, but if you don't have a firewire cable and aren't comfortable with sharing over a network it will work just as well - you just have to wait for the mail folder to copy twice instead of once.
If you get stuck post back!

My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT!, My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT!

My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT (Epson EB510)! Instead, colored bars go across the screen against a black background. No matter how much I try to adjust the displays, PPT won't show on it. However, my friend's Macbook Air works fine. She's 10.7.2, I'm 10.7.4, so we're both more or less OS X Lion. What could be wrong? Can I do anything to fix it?

Make sure that your display is not mirrored. Mirroring forces you into "lowest common denominator" screen resolutions that can safely be displayed on BOTH screens, which may not be good enough for the projector.
When you turn off Mirroring, you get Extended Desktop, where the two screens are joined along an edge to form a larger Extended Desktop. To use this, drag a window onto the "other" screen.

HT201364 BRAND NEW MACBOOK PRO 2013 - WON'T DOWNLOAD MAVERICK'S FROM STORE

I have just Purchased a brand new Macbook Pro 2013 from Apple store and it won't let you download Maverick's even thought it's already installed. Does anybody know why? I originally purchased a Macbook Air 2013, which I returned for the pro model. This came with Mountain Lion, which the app store let me download Maverick's from the app store. I could also download as a backup in case something went wrong.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro.
That MacBook Pro needs a special OS X Mavericks version that is newer than the Mavericks version available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store does not let you download Mavericks even if you are using OS X Mavericks.
To reinstall OS X Mavericks, use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 You will not be able to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store until Apple launches OS X 10.9.1

New Macbook Pro CS2 won't go (activate)

I just got a new Macbook Pro and have been trying to activate my CS2 suite on it. My understanding is that it is legit to have one copy on my desktop (which I do & it works fine) and one on a Laptop. I have never had a laptop before so this is the first time it is being installed on one. I did have it on a different desktop which died. (well the HD did) I go through the internet activation, when that fails I go through the phone activation, then to customer support. After numerous attempts, a customer support person said that I HAD to upgrade to CS4 in order to use this software on my Macbook Pro because they don't support CS2 anymore. I'm all good with them wanting to upgrade me to the new software, but I paid a bundle for CS2 and it works fine for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's weird because I've been running the whole suite, every day, on my 24 inch Imac 3.06 with the latest OSx updates and haven't seen anything out of the ordinary other than an odd slowdown here or there, or a font issue which is generally the font suitcase, not Indesign or Illustrator. It all runs fine on my Macbook Pro too in Demo mode, but its going to expire in 20 days. That will get me through I suppose till I can arrange to upgrade. Like most people who legitemately buy their software and count on it every day, I am dissapointed that I am being forced to upgrade for a reason that isn't as clear as processor or OS incompatibility. Had I known I couldn't install it on this Macbook, I would have held off on its purchase and postponed the project im working on till I get back to the states. Thank you all for your help. I know I sound disgruntled and I know you are all just users like me. I really do appreciate the time you've given to theis matter.

My new Macbook Pro suddenly won't turn on!

I just got my new Macbook Pro 15" 2.66GHz and now it won't turn on. I was using it until it almost didn't have any battery left. Then I was away from it for a while and when I came back I couldn't make it work again. When the power cable is plugged in the little white light on the cover blinks and I can here a strange sound turning on and off again and again - sounding like the harddisk turning on and failing, turning on and failing... Now the power cable has been in the computer for a while but it's still like this and the lamp on the adapter is green - not orange, which it should be when it's charging. This is really bad since I have a lot of work on it, do you know anything? Please and thank you.

If the little light on the front of the MBP is still on, hold down the power button until it turns off and all signs of activity stop. Then reset the SMC:

Reconnect the AC adapter. Does it begin charging now (orange light on the plug)? If so, let it charge for half an hour and then try starting it up again. If that works, it's ready to use normally.

New macbook pro safari won't open Apple support pages!

It is so odd. I can open every other site in Safari EXCEPT the Apple Support pages! It's a brand new Macbook Pro. Any ideas???

To clarify, it looks like if I search something via Google it won't let me see any of those support page results. It does work via a Yahoo search, but no Googlel

New macbook pro, safari won't open and repair disk permissions did nothing to help

Safari starts, blue bar moves about an inch in search bar, then stops. Then nothing. Tried repairing disk permissions to no avail. Safari still doesn't open. Whatever os x that is installed on new macbook pro's, since just bought on Sunday 10-14-12, is the operating software. The apple store there is no user manual. Strange. So here we are on another, older macbook pro, able to go on internet and see what answers or diagnoses others have tried and trued.

3 days old?, just pack the machine up and tell them you want another one, that this one is a lemon.
They will likely take your word for it and just give you another rather than you demand your money back instead.
If you wait too long then they say you should have brought it back sooner, now have to wait until it's fixed, only to give you more problems later.

Brand New MacBook Pro. Won't Update

Hello
Setup my brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina 2.5Ghz 8GB Ram today.
Current OS: OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1
Would like to update to OSX 10.8.2 but the update does not show in the App Store.
I downloaded the files from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581 but does not work as i get a "This Volume does not meet the requirements" and so can't update.
How can i fix this. Thanks.

Think i solved my own problem.
Am I correct in thinking that Apple have installed a special build of OSX 10.8.1 on MacBook Pros and have not yet released an update for 10.8.2 on MacBook Pro?
Amazining that i can never find anything i need untill i created my own topic and then what i need meraculously appears in the related topics!

New MacBook Pro Purchase: HDD Speed: 5400rpm & 7200rpm

Hi,
I will be ordering a MacBook Pro from the Australian Online Apple Store tomorrow, and I was doing some research about the hard disk drive speeds, and which is better. I have read so far that of course since the 7200rpm hard disk drive spins faster, it will have a faster read/write speed, but I have already read that this means it will decrease the battery life, produce more heat, as well as produce more noise.
I will be using my new MacBook Pro as an addition to my current iMac, and will therefore not be doing my photo/video editing on it, I will mainly be using my new MacBook Pro for email, word processing, iTunes, iWeb, web browsing, a bit of Photoshop, and other student activities. I do however want my laptop to run smoothly, quickly, without producing excessive heat, and have a good battery life.
So, should I choose the 5400rpm, or that 7200rpm model?
Thanks!

When you first get it the faster drive will help a bit with photoshop editing and encoding in iTunes, PFAD. For the rest the difference will be minimal.
In the longer run, size matters more than rpm. As drives get closer to full they get slower. If I had a choice between a 7200 RPM 320 Gig drive or a 5400 500 Gig, for example, I'd go with the latter every time. It might not be quite as fast when new, but it will usually beat the pants off the other "faster" drive when they both have 250 Gig of data on board and after that the advantage of the bigger, slower, drive will continue to grow, both in speed and stability.
But, then, of course drives keep on getting cheaper, so the other option is to buy the faster, smaller, one now and simply replace it when it starts to get fullish. The drives are very easy to replace on current MBPs.

Well, I must start it sometime in the next couple of years before I hit 60. I'm truly sorry, Dymphna. I have always felt I have let her down).
It is a real toss up. Maybe your wallet (and anticipated trends there-within over the next couple of years) , rather than the size or speed of the drive, really holds the best answer! Hey, you could spend the price difference on RAM or software instead!
Cheers

Downloaded software update, seems to be working now

My new macBook Pro Retina won't connect to my wifi. Password IS CORRECT.

I just got a new-in-box retina MacBook Pro. It sees my wifi network--signal is max--but the base station will not accept the 100% correct password. Other devices have no trouble connecting.
I'm setting it up for a PC switcher. What an embarrassment!
We're trying to connect to a Time Capsule base station which I added to my system last week. No other devices have trouble connecting.
Suggestions?
--Jay

-->Try Connect to Other.
Done. Failed.
-->Try clearing the preferred network.
If I understand you correctly, there is no preferred network. It's a new machine, it's never connected to anything.
-->Please update your signature with your installed operating system for the questionable MacBook Pro, or indicate what Mac OS X version you are running, so we can tell you if there are additional things to look for.
Thanks for alerting me to this. I added some more stuff to my sig.
It's a new Retina MacBook Pro, running Mavericks 9.0. I just unboxed it this morning.

My new macbook pro retina won't connect to my iPhone 4s via bluetooth

Just bought macbook pro retina. have had iPhone 4s for two years and use it to tether my iPad to regularly no problem. however the macbook pro won't connect to the iPhone via bluetooth. it recognises it's there and a connection code is displayed, but when I enter the code it won't connect and the phone insists that I agree to 'forget this device'. how do I enable tethering so I can use the 3g signal to browse on my laptop whilst travelling please?

Only thing I could suggest would be to "Reset Network Settings" on the phone (Settings> General> Reset>) . Of course, this will forget and delete any saved Wi-Fi or network configurations, but if that's not a problem for you then, maybe worth a shot.
Although saying that, I think iCloud remembers old settings (if you are connected and sharing network configurations), so may not be a total loss.
