New MB Purchase

Is now a good time to purchase a new MB. I am looking at the 2.4 ghz white MB. I am starting seminary on Aug 11 and need/want a laptop to use. Thanks. Do you think a seperate hd for time machine would be good to have as well? Do you think it would be neccessary.

If you need a system for your first day, then now is probably as good a time as any. There are a couple of Back-To-School promotions which you might qualify for if you're in the US and that might be of interest. If you don't need a system right at the start, you might want to wait until Mid-September or so when the current Back-To-School promotion ends. If there is to be any sort of upgrade or new version of the MacBook, it would be logical for the release to be after the expiration of the current promotions. No guarantees, of course; no one here knows anything concrete about future product releases, we just go off of past events.
Do you think a seperate hd for time machine would be good to have as well? Do you think it would be neccessary.
Having some sort of backup device is absolutely necessary. Whether you go with an external hard drive, and whether or not you use Time Machine, will be a personal decision based on what and how you want to back up.

  • My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

    My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • Why don't new songs purchased on I-Tunes synch to my iPod (Nano 5th generation) that is recongized by my computer? What do I do to make that happen?

    I purchased a new desk top computer. My iTunes account is regognized by the new computer, but only includes the songs purchased on iTunes. My iPod is also recognized by the computer when I plug it in. When I attempt to sync new songs purchased on iTunes to my iPod, they do sync to my iPod. Can anyone help me figure this out?

    There are two questions here...  Your computer has an iTunes library, not an iTunes "account."  The account that relates to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to make purchases from the iTunes Store.  Signing in to the iTunes Store using your Apple ID does not put your songs from your previous iTunes library (on the old computer) into your new iTunes library.  You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer.
    NOTE:  If you happen to be subscribed to Apple's iTunes Match service, your entire iTunes music library is stored in iCloud, and you CAN access it from any supported computer or mobile device, using your Apple ID.
    If you have access to your old computer and your old iTunes library, and you want to transfer it to your new computer, you can post back to get more info on that topic.  For songs that are previous purchases from the iTunes Store, you can re-download them into your new iTunes library at no cost, by signing in to the iTunes Store (using the same Apple ID) and going to the Purchases screen (click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS on the iTunes Store Home screen).
    The second separate question is about setting up automatic syncing for the iPod, from your new iTunes library.  You may not want to do that until you have all songs from your old iTunes library consolidated into your new iTunes library.  Please post back...

  • HT1451 A new album purchase downloaded each song as an individual album with its own album cover. How do I consolidate all songs under just one album cover like the rest of my library?

    A new album purchase downloaded each song as an individual album, each with its own album cover. How do I consolidate all songs under just one album cover like the rest of my library? How did this happen?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
    BTW, are you really still using Windows 2000?

  • Why won't my new music purchased on my iPad not coming up on my iPhone??

    Why won't my new music purchased on my iPad not coming up on my iPhone??

    On your phone, go to settings> App Store and iTunes> Turn on Automatic downloads for Music.  This should cause music purchases made on other devices to be downloaded automatically to phone.

  • New App Purchases never show in Profile Manager

    I have been using VPP Managed Distrubuition and Profile Manager without issue since December then out of the blue new any app purchases never appear in Profile Manager under the App tab. Includes both paid and free apps and they are in the Purchase History of my Program Facilitator account. Nothing has changed at the server setup that I'm aware of and I'm not really sure where to go now as emailing VPP support resulted in a reply that they can't offer advice on Profile Manager and I need to speak to Enterprise support. I think my VPP token is broken.
    I have turned Profile Manager off and back on, removed the token and redownloaded and applied it again and performed another purchase and still nothing is showing that has been purchased since Febuary. Have also turned the Push Notifications off and back on. The 80 odd apps purchased before Feb continue to work as expected and I can assign them to users, remove users from the program and retrieve the licence etc.
    As a last ditch I updated the OS to 10.9.2 along with the corisponding Server App version yesterday but this has had no effect.
    Greatly appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

    Can do however won't that clear all my App assignments in Profilemanager and Managed Profile Settings? The MDM functions of Porfile Manager are working fine. Just can't see new App purchases.
    I tested again yesterday and purchased 5 new distrubuited licences of Edmodo and Micosoft Word. Neither display to assign to users.
    Have 73 existing purchases made before March showing still and I can assigned them to users who have enrolled. I can also continue to enroll new users.

  • New music purchases on my new computer will not sync to ipod?

    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?

  • My ipod touch has stopped downloading new music (purchased via internet or from a CD) from iTunes when I sync it, how do I fix this?

    I have a 32 GB ipod touch with plenty of space on it still, but when I sync it to iTunes, any music I've recently added will not download to the iPod.  It was working fine until a month ago, but now even though the new songs are visible on iTunes in the "On this iPod page" but they show up as not downloaded.  I've run a diagnostic test on my iPod but it said everything was working fine.  Is there a way to fix this?  I have purchased and downloaded music from cds and all of a sudden I can't add them to the library on my device.

  • HT203433 An apple id is already associated with my device ( i signed out of exising id and created a new one) and wont let me associate my device with a new apple id for 85 days. How do i get my new content purchased with new id onto my ipad?

    Hi, can anyone please tell me how I can receive downloads onto my ipad that i have purchased with a new apple id via itunes on my pc? I added a new apple id and signed out of existing one on my ipad and now receive a message saying that i cannot associate a new id for 85 days - and it won't let me download my purchased content onto the ipad even though i can purchase new content on my pc with the new id. The new content shows in my purchases when accessed on my ipad but the message appears when i attempt the download. I have set up the new id on both devices.
    Any suggestions?

    Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
    Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

  • When on the iTunes store, on the 'new' section purchased, I tried downloading something that said "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID." HELP

    The rest of this warning message said ...
    "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 81 days."
    Now recently i got a new macbook, and have been downloading previous purchases through iCloud with my account and my dads account. I can download stuff through my dads account, but when i go onto my account, this comes up, this is my computure and i want my account to be the registered acount.
    what can i do, because i still need to get all my stuff downloaded aso i can sync my iad ipohne and ipod.
    HELP!

    It's been months, so you may not care anymore, but you can't download songs from multiple Apple IDs over a 90 days period.  Sorry, it's not allowed for legal reasons.

  • Will iCloud enable new iTunes purchases to be automatically downloaded to multiple iTunes libraries under different logins on the SAME iMac?

    So I have a customer with one iMac and a user login on that iMac for each member of the family.  Under each user login, iTunes is configured with the same Apple ID so any purchases are made on the one account.  What they want is that no matter who purchases iTunes content from the iTunes Store, it appears in ALL their iTunes libraries.  If I configure iCloud with the SAME Apple ID under each login, and tick the 3 "Automatically Download New Purchases" boxes in iTunes under each login, then will new purchases be automatically downloaded to every library when the library owner logs in?  Or does iCloud only enable this functionlity based on a hardware ID, ie it will only work once per machine rather than once per user login?
    There must be a simple yes/no answer to this, but it's a fair bit of work to set up a test rig so I'm hoping somebody already knows!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello campin,
    Congrats on your now MacBook Pro and welcome to the Apple family!
    So, I'm just going to address each question directly.
    1) Short answer: yes. The article "iTunes 11 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store" goes over the process of downloading all of your previously purchased content.
    2) When you plug in your device you should see that iTune will allow you to configure the syncing options for each type of content. See "iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer" for more info.
    3) Automatic downloads is something that you can disable, but is enabled by default. This is also something that be different for Music and Apps. See "iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads"
    It's a lot of information, but that should help you out and enjoy your new MacBook Pro!

  • HT1727 My old computer died before i could put my new itunes purchases on it. Is there anyway to get them to my new computer? The hard drive somehow fried and is of no use.

    I had just purchased like $30 worth of new songs and my old computer. two days later it died on me before i could upload them onto my ipod touch. i tired to get geek squad at best buy to transfer all of my music from my old computer to the new one but they said it could not be done since i somehow fried the hard drive. so i was wondering if there is anyway to get at least my newly purchased songs back? i got my old purchased songs off of the ipod i just want the new ones.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for this very reason.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • My ipod no longer downloads new songs purchased. it says it synced but just displays picture of a connector and says "connected"

    my ipod no longer downloads newly purchased songs. when connected it says it is synced on Itunes but displays a cable and the word "connected" eject before disconnecting on the ipod screen. Any idea's as to what the problem is?

    Hello there darnau,
    I have a couple things to recommend here. First if you have not already, turn off the iPod Nano, and turn it back on, then try again. From iPod nano (6th generation): Software update version 1.1 changes found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4531.
    Turning iPod nano off completely and turning it on again
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for several seconds to turn iPod nano off completely.
    Note: If the iPod nano (6th generation) is showing that it's charging or attached to a powered accessory or cable, you cannot turn off the iPod until you detach the accessory or cable from the device.
    Possibly even restore the iPod Nano Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    Regards,
    Sterling
