Registering my new Macbook Pro through Apple?

How could I go about registering my new Macbook Pro through Apple. Is there any special way to do so because the first day I turned it on I remember typing in some sort of information but was not sure if it was to register it, thanks so much; cheers !

Go to:

Enter your serial #.
(To get serial # Apple Menu>About this Mac. Click on 'Version 10.6.x' twice. Window stays on top while you enter serial. Copy/Paste doesn't work. Sorry if you knew that bit...)
You'll then get a page confirming your model etc and there'll be a warning that your 'product is unregistered'. Follow it on from there.
Edit: Having just been through this myself, (for an MBP) that's the path I followed. I can't remember how I got there. Presumably if yours is registered you'll get a confirmation rather than a warning
Good luck.

I bought a new macbook pro and iTunes will not let me purchase anything. All computers unregistered. This computer is registered. Cannot purchase anything using my apple id and my apple id works because i buy things on my i phone. What is the problem

I bought a new macbook pro and now every time i try to buy anything with my apple id it doesn't go through. I tried Ibooks and iTunes but neither one will work. I have registered this computer and even tried unregistering all the other computers but that did not do anything. I also checked my form of payment and that is not the problem either because i have no problems what so ever buying anything on my iPhone or my desktop computer.
It is just this computer.
I try to buy something and something pops up and says... "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-45054). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later."
And i have been trying later for 2days now.

Have you tried repairing disk permissions : iTunes download error -45054

Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it wasn't uninstalled on the previous laptop? What to do now?? Thx!

Maybe this can help someone else... I simply had to properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall it again after that. I think that sorted it! I also remember having a similar issue with Macs at work a couple of years back. Not sure whether the same applies to CS5/CS6. Here's a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS. I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it worked just fine. Remove Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

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.

New MacBook Pro - admin password Help

There is no start up disk w the new MacBook Pro. I recently changed my admin password when it goes to sleep. Must have hit a wrong key, possible w me....nothing is working. I have to reset it. I was going to register my Mac, had it for a few days, sending this from my iPad. Please, please help

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To reset the password, there's a different method in Macs with OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, because you don't need any discs to do it. Follow these steps > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101 Note that you will need to create a new keychain after resetting your password

Unable to update iPhoto on new Macbook Pro

I have a new MacBook pro and AppStore indicates that there is an update for iPhoto. When I try to update iPhoto I get an error stating "to update this application sign in with the account you used to purchase it".
I did not register the first time I booted the MacBook so I am assuming that it must not know what Apple ID to use for the update, but I do have my apple id associated with my user account. How do I get around this issue so I can update iPhoto?
Thanks,
Bob

Apple support suggested the following (which didn't work for me, but I'm sharing as they might work for others - I'll keep the post updated when I hear back, again):
1) Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
2) Enter your Apple ID and password.
3) Click Purchases.
4) If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them.
5) Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
If this does not work, follow the instructions below and then repeat the steps above to accept the iLife apps again.
1) Close the Mac App Store.
2) In Finder, click on the Go menu.
2) Click Go to Folder.
3) Enter ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/
4) Drag adoption.plist to the Trash.
5) Relaunch the Mac App Store.
You should then be prompted to accept the apps for your current account.
If you are not prompted to accept the apps when you sign back in to the Mac App store and click on purchases, please contact us back.

My new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.

my new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.
At first my computer had issues. Once it go to sleep it will not back again. I dropped my laptop at apple store to fix it. After 10 days they returned my laptop saying they were no able to fix the problem so they replaced motherboard aiming if that might help. Acttually that didn't help.I had same issue again. I visited apple store again. This time they said they could fix, if I will allow them to format the harddrive. I said ok. They formatted it. It was working fine for few daysAfter few days compter is taking.even more than 15 min to shutdown. Now computer has another problem. It is being hang frequently like every 20'to.30 min.
I don't know what to do? I still have one month left on first year warranty. I have requested couple times to apple associates either to fix or replace or refund. They are showing me rude behavior. They are not understanding my situation. I am a student. I need to do lot of home work. Since last three month my mac book and apple associates giving me hard time. Any suggestions are welcome.

Contact Apple Customer Care - not Apple Care - Customer Support. Have your receipts handy and/or case numbers. Be patient, be calm, and tell your story just as you have here. I get the sense you are not in the US and don't have access to an Apple Store but are going to an independent shop. This makes using Customer Support all the more important. If phoning isn't viable, use registered mail.
Since time is running short, be prepared to purchase AppleCare to exennd your warranty 2 more years. Yes, you shouldn't have to do this, but it gives you added protection and more opportunities over the next 2 years to claim a replacement computer if you don't get one immediately. After dealing with a similar unhappy situation with a Mac in the late 1990s I finally got a replacement computer and reimbursed for the AppleCare policy.

FCE won't open on my new MacBook Pro - says I need a Quartz Extreme Card

I just bought a new MacBook Pro Laptop, and since I was having lots of hardware and software related problems with my old one, I clean installed everything rather than transferring things through archive.
Anyhow, I was initially able to register and install FCE from the original disk and then downloaded and installed all available upgrades. I opened it up, tried "Log and Transfer" to upload some video I'd shot on my Canon Vixia HFS10, and it worked fine. I saved and closed, but now, next morning when I tried to open FCE to edit my video it wouldn't open. A "Minimum System Check" came up that said "This system does not meet the following minimum requirements: Final Cut Express requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme Capable Video Card." I'm pretty sure that my NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT cards meet the requirements and that Final Cut Express just doesn't recognize that they are much better than the minimum requirements it is programmed to look for. How can I fix this? I saw another thread on a similar topic suggesting that someone delete their FCE, and then perform a clean install, but that's effectively what I've just gone through, and I'm not in the mood to spend a couple of hours seeing if the same thing I just did fixes the problem I have now. This seems like something that would be an easy programming fix, probably a simple modification to a preferences file, but I wonder if anyone out there has the solution?

No, I have FCE 4 - should have said that - and it worked on my older Intel based MacBook Pro.
As it turns out, though, I think I've solved the problem, adapting a solution to a related problem I found on MacRumors.com. Don't know why this is necessary, but here's the solution I tried:
1. right click on the FCE application icon and select "Show Package Contents"
2. open the "Contents" folder and then open the "info.plist" folder in Text Edit
3. find the line that says: "<key>AELMinimumQuartzExtremeCapable</key>," and replace it with "<key>AELMinimumGeForceCapable</key>", and then make sure that the next line says "<string></string>" without any number specified. Or, if you have some other kind of graphics card that you know is compatible, you could say what that is instead of GeForce. I found it doesn't work just to delete this line completely.
Again, I don't know why Apple didn't build in this flexibility when they updated their standard Graphics cards, but in any case this solution seems to work.

Toneport UX2 not working with new MacBook Pro 10.6.2 Snow Leopard

I do some casual recording using a Line 6 Toneport UX2. Previously i was recording on an older Mac Mini. Recently i upgraded to a new Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)
The new Macbook is not responding at all when i plug in my toneport, all the software for the toneport is installed.
I think the problem is that my toneport is not compatible with an intel Mac. Is this right?
And if it is can i fix this problem with some kind of upgrade for my toneport software(gearbox)?
And if there is no solution can someone recomend a new audio interface for me to get? Under $200.

I use a Toneport UX2 with my intel iMac. I never had the problem you are describing while using Gearbox with GB. However your problem sounds very similar to one I have experienced when I loaded up Line 6 Pod Farm. I discovered that when I start Pod Farm and get the message you mentioned, if I quit Pod Farm then immediately start it again, everything communicates just fine and I'm back in business. I would like to see a fix for this glitch, but for now I just start twice and then get to work.
Give it a try! I am curious to know if you are in the same boat as me.
As a side note, Recently Line 6 offered Pod Farm for no charge to registered owners of a Line 6 interface such as ours. You may want to check it out. It gives you some more options to play with.

New Macbook Pro, how to back up?

I have recently purchased a 15" MacBook Pro, and I would like to know how to back it up. This morning i went out and bought this: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/freeagent/portable-hard-drive /
I have transfered all of my photos into iPhoto. This is probably my main concern for backing up data. Previously, with my former PC I organized my photos with a folder system I devised. Anyhow, I have not plugged the external drive in yet. I will only be using this drive with my Mac. I plan to keep this hard drive off site, and use it to back up once a month or so. My questions are as follows:
1. The directions on the Sea Gate drive state that there is software I will need to install. Will I actually need to install that if I plan to use Time Machine?
2. I never having used Time Machine, is it fairly self explanatory?
3. Will Time Machine back up my photos out of iPhoto? Will it retain the organization in iPhoto?
4. When I deem it is time to do a back up, I plug the external drive in, is there anything I will need to do to make the back up begin?
5. Because I am a fairly paranoid person, after a backup, can I see all of my files in the external drive?
6. Is there anything else I should know about backup?
Thank you very much!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
How big of a hard drive do you have in your new MacBook Pro? It looks like it comes with a 500 GB hard drive, and the Seagate you linked is just 320 GB. For Time Machine, it's generally better to have a drive that is at least twice as big as your boot drive to allow plenty of space for all of the backups.
Your new drive might be better to use for a bootable clone, which you can make using Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner. I like Super Duper myself, and would highly recommend it. It will make an exact copy of everything on your hard drive. You can download it and try it for free as long as you like. If you want to unlock some of the more useful features like Smart Update, you can register a copy for $28:
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
A drive used as a bootable clone should be the same size as your boot drive, but since your drive is likely not full yet, you could use the 320 GB drive for this purpose for a while anyway.
It wouldn't hurt to have more than one drive for backup--it gives you an extra measure of safety, as two external drives aren't likely to fail at the same time. It never hurts to have two separate drives and two different means of making the backups. If you are seriously paranoid about your data, I think you will ultimately want both.
Time Machine is really designed to be used as you work, making frequent backups for you so that you will always have an up to date backup. A bootable clone has the advantage that should your hard drive fail, you can boot from the clone and continue to work. The two really complement each other.
I travel quite a lot, and use both methods. But what I leave in the fireproof safe are a set of bootable clones, made just before a trip.
I'd recommend a bootable clone in addition to a Time Machine backup, and you can decide which you want to keep off premise.
Good luck!

New Macbook Pro set up is stuck on iCloud Drive upgrade screen

I am setting up a new macbook pro and have chosen the option to upgrade to iCloud Drive. After choosing to continue with that option, the spinning ball has been active for quite sometime. Is this normal? I am afraid to force restart as it is a brand new computer.

I had the same issue. I logged in & registered the device SN (several other devices (SN's) are already associated with the account). I don't know if this is simply coincidental or not, but as soon as I did that the new mac book pro continued into setup & eventually finished booting up & is now apparently pulling in user/account settings. I still have to confirm the iCloud Drive setup, but so far at least it moved on past the 'spinning wheel.'

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?

How do I set up my new MacBook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover? I cannot get it to work right; it seems to get stuck and repeats the same thing over and over. It is driving me nuts! Is there a way to begin the setup process without using the Voiceover system? I am a new convert from a PC and I thought a Mac was supposed to be "intuitive!"
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Pamela

There is no good reason to register your Mac anyway.
You can opt out of the setup process and registration by pressing Command (Apple key) and the "Q" key.
The registration process requires you to divulge a lot of unnecessary information.

CS4 serial number invalid on new Macbook Pro

I have CS4 and a new Macbook Pro. My old apps will not launch with old the serial number. Is there a way to get my old apps to work?

Ah, that is more specific.
Hopefully your software has been registered with Adobe, or you have proof of purchase.
Serial number issues and activation are directly handled by Adobe. We are forum volunteers and do not have that authority.
Contact Customer Care
If you have to directly get in contact with them, there are phone, email, or chat options under "Still need help"?
