Recently got an Elite PRO for Free - I feel ripped off
I recently got an X-Fi Elite PRO for FREE. The driver support is that lame I feel ripped off. Would rather have paid the money to get a prelude than have this in my machine. Going to see how much cash I can get for it on Ebay, hopefully enough to get a Prelude
Then it's a good thing you decided to get the best premium-quality Macintosh computer that was available in your price range at the time you bought it. It should meet your needs for years to come.
Everything you need is in the box except an External Backup Drive [recommended about 3x the size of your internal drive (or more)]. If you don't like the Web Browser, Mail or other tools they included, free with your computer, you can switch to different Apps for short money.
Specialty Apps are available to do high-end professional-quality work such as magazine-cover photo editing and professional movie-making, along with hundreds of other tasks.
And Apple has not given up on this product line. They continue to introduce new products. So when you have needs that are not being met by your current computer, there will be new models to choose from.

any help you guys can give would be great! I have a limited amount of time to do this.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder on your PC to /Music/ on your Mac.
Then delete what you don't want.
You will need to authorize yrou computer for the iTunes account yoru mother has.
You should create & use your own iTunes account for any more purchases.
You don't need to export anything and definitely don't need to (and shouldn't) convert anything. -
I recently got a MacBook Pro and want to burn my videos, taken with my iPhone, to DVD. What is the easiest way for me to accomplish this? I've been told I need to download a DVD creator/burner. I've downloaded 3 different free versions, but none of them seem to recognize the video files from my iPhone. I don't need anything fancy or complicated. I just want a way to store these vidoes and be able to play them on our DVD player. Help!

Hi Jim,
Craig is right on with his post. Hope he won't mind if I add the following link, as recently it has been noted by some posts here that there are some "quirks" with Clamshell Mode:

I recently bought an iPhone 6 how do i install iWork's on my macbook pro for free?
after buying an iPhone 6. how do i install iWork's on my macbook pro for free?
My reading of the offer is the iOS versions are free with an iOS device, and the Mac versions are free with a Mac purchase.

I recently got an extension cord for my ipad charger and the first time I used it it worked and now when I plug it in to my ipad It doesn't do anything. What do I do?
I think that we all understood what you meant. If the extension cord is no longer working, then return it.
We are all trying to tell you that you can plug the power block into a standard household extension cord - using the short cord that came with the iPad - and there is no need for the extension cord that you bought.

I just purchased an iPhone 6 and got the iWork-apps for free.
I had the impression that I would get a free copy for my Mac too. Is this correct?Hi ..
Afraid not. Reason being, the apps that run on your iPhone are designed for iOS.
Apps that run on your Mac are designed for OS X.
Two different operating systems.
Those apps must be purchased separately from the App Store on your Mac. -

I had a code to get logics pro for free and after it installed its asking me for a serial number but it never gave me one to put in, it just started downloading and then asked me. Does anyone know what to do from here.
I really don't think that is anywhere near on track.
Most likely the trial version was installed earlier, is that correct? -
I recently got a charging case for my iPhone 5s, but it says it isn't certified and may not work reliably with my iPhone. What can I do to fix it?
Buy one that is certified. Your current case might work without problems, and then might stop working in the future. iOS 7 is especially "sensitive" to uncertified peripherals. With this iOS release they have started to clamp down on "pirate" peripherals.

Has anybody heard if Apple is going to fix the Logic Board on the early 2011 Macbook Pros for Free?
Has anybody heard if Apple is going to fix the Logic Board on the early 2011 Macbook Pros for Free? Of course my Apple Care warranty expired months ago, and this just happened. I've been looking online for solutions. But am wondering if anybody has heard if Apple is going to take care of this, or what others are doing to get Apple to repair this problem without having to pay $1,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know this is an old post but just in case it helps. They ARE fixing certain macs for free!

How do I download iLife on my MacBook Pro (for free) after purchasing a new iOS device
Hello,
I watched the most recent keynote address just like everybody else and was very happy to hear that Apple was going to provide the new iLife and iWork software for free with the purchase of a new Mac device or iOS device. So, I went and purchased a new iPhone 5S. Now how do I get my free copy of this software on my MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) running Mavericks?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
MarcusYou must be running Mavericks and have purchased the iLife 11 apps, either they came with the Mac or from a purchased iLIfe 11 disk, in order to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5 for free.
The following came from this MacWorld article: What you need to know about Apple's free apps policy | Macworld
If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps) and you got them from the Mac App Store or iOS App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the app page on the Mac or iOS App Store.
If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps for the Mac but did not purchase them from the Mac App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the Mac App Store and tapping Update, though you may need to first visit the Purchases screen, where you might see a box called “You Have [number] Apps to Accept.” This ties apps you have on your computer to both your Apple ID and a hardware identifier on your computer, and it should allow you to download free updates to these programs from any computer associated with your Apple ID.
Some users (including yours truly) are reporting issues where the Mac App Store doesn’t recognize their copies; when they click on an iLife or iWork app’s price, they receive the following alert: “[App] is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store. Do you want to buy [app]?” Macworld spoke with an Apple spokesperson who noted that there’s currently an issue with some legacy customers, and the company is working on a fix. That fix appears to have been implemented; on Thursday, several users told Macworld that they were getting the Accept Apps prompt.
If you don’t own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps), or own older Mac versions: On the iLife side, you’ll have to buy iMovie and iPhoto at full price ($15 or $5, depending on platform). GarageBand is free for everyone to download, though the app does offer in-app purchases. Apple’s iWork apps are each $20 for the Mac, $10 on the iPhone or iPad.
