Trouble with new logicboard

I just got a new logic board, battery, and super drive. now the battery will read that that there is 0% it wont turn on sometimes, and the serial number is no longer showing on my computer. also when I try to play my itunes it made me put in a password and it said this was the second computer to be used out of 5. what is going on?

I'm no expert on this, but after my logic board replacement I no longer have a serial number as well. I reloaded some software and it asked me if I wanted to retain the preferences from another computer (that other computer being the serial number I used to have entered prior to the logic board replacement.)
I've read that occasionally the service tech doesn't re-enter the computer's serial number after the new logic board is put in. Generally this isn't a problem, but when you have restricted files such as your itunes downloads, this suddenly is a problem. I'd contact Apple and let them know your dilemma. Please post back anything you find out.
Good luck!

Do you have alot of apps running in background? Tap home key 2 times and there's a list across screen with icons you can deselect them by hold on one and they wiggle touch the minus button and it will deactivate them untill you use them again. Do you have the phone dim after so many seconds or minutes? Is the screen bright all time? Do you go on the Internet or watch video on phone?
These things can affect the hrs of use.

Permissions trouble with new MacBook Pro

I had previously upgraded my MacBook Pro (original unibody model) to Mountain Lion with no apparent issues. I have two Users, both with Admin status and everything appeared to function as before.
I just traded in my old MacBook Pro for a new current model Retina MacBook Pro, using Migration Assistant upon first startup to move everything over from the older machine. Most everything has been seamless - except for Permissions.
I started seeing messages appear indicating I didn't have permission to open files, run apps, delete files, etc. Looking at Get Info, I found Sharing & Permissions was only set up for (if I recall correctly) Admin, Administrator and something called Wheel. I solved the permissions issue while logged in as the primary User by adding both Users to the Sharing & Permissions section of the Info screen for the entire hard drive, giving them Read & Write access, and selecting Apply to enclosed items... That seems to have solved the issue for the primary User.
But then I tried working logged in as the secondary User. I started getting messages indicating I could not save a file I had just modified because I did not have permission, and that I should contact the Administrator. Well, that's me. So I tried the same thing that I did logged in as the primary User, but there was no change. I still can't save a modified file logged in as the secondary Admin User.
I haven't found anything that addresses this - except to learn where the Wheel User originated. Can someone point me in the right direction to where I can learn how to gain full, unlimited access to my own computer - under bothe User accounts?
Thank you.

You corrupted the permissions of every file on the volume. Restore everything from the backup you made before doing that. Then do as follows.
Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Registration Troubles with new mini

I just got a new macmini 1.83 with 1g ram bundled from a Apple retail store.
When I tried to register online the serial number was not accepted. I had to imput the product number as a temp number. Anyone else having the same Problems with new minis?
Rob
Powerbook G4 15" 1.5 Superdrive 512 Ram Mac OS X (10.4)

If it's a very recently built computer, it may take a week or two for the serial numbers in Apple's online database to catch-up. If you call AppleCare Support in the U.S., there's an option for AppleCare issues that are not technical support about your computer. Those folks can register it for you by going directly to their database.

Downloading songs troubles with new nano

Hello. I recently revieved a new pink ipod nano for the holidays. I am having some trouble downloading songs onto it.
I curently have one ipod mini and one itunes account.
I have followed the little instruction thing that came with the new ipod nano but i have no luck.
[when it told me to turn off the computer it did and it turned back on and nothing really happened after that]
I would just like the songs to transfer to the new ipod nano. everytime i plug it into my computer it just is charging the battery and is not downloading any of the songs from the existing itunes account. do i need to make a brand new itunes account?
i would really not like to make a new itunes account on my other computer due to the ammount of space taken up by it.
i think i am doing it right but having the already existing itunes account has made it difficult? i really don't know and am confused..
if anybody could help me with this i would really appreciate it!!! i would like to have this problem resolved within the next day or two seeing i am going on a trip.
not sure none

A few questions for you.
Is this music purchased from the iTunes store you're having difficulty with, or all music?
How do you normally transfer music? Any error messages?

Bootcamp trouble with new hardrive

After i got a new harddrive, due to the defective harddrives in the 2009-11 iMacs and Apple had to exchange them free of charge, I've been having trouble installing bootcamp in my Windows 7. Everything went smoothly with the partitioning and the installing of W7 and naturally I've had previous experience in doing so, so no trouble there. The problem arises when I try to use the OSX install dvd to install bootcamp. The disc kept spinning for a while and then just ejected it again. So i tried installing manually by downloading bootcamp from the support site. After finding the appropiate version (4.0 < ) I tried using the setup.exe as prescribed in the bootcamp installation manual, but to no avail. Apparantly the version is not the right one. So I deciced to try an older version (3.3) but got the message "The Boot Camp version currently installed on your system does not require this update." which was weird since i hadn't installed any Boot Camp!
So far I have tried 3.3, 4.0.4255, 4.1.4586 and 5.0.5033 but neither of them seems to work. Have installed some of the non-Apple drivers, but i still can't communicate with neither my apple keyboard, my magic mouse or my OSX partition to name a few.
Truly hope anybody has experienced the same issues AND gotten around them.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have a Late 2009 or older iMac, you need these Boot Camp drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630 You can be sure that these drivers will work with your iMac, because Boot Camp 5 drivers are only compatible with Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs and newer

Troubles with new DSL modem (moto 3260)

Folks,
My old 2wire died and I picked up a Motorola 3260 from ATT....been reading a lot of articles on these boards but I'm stymied trying to get this to work with my Airport Extreme (and MBP on Mountain Lion)
I actually seemingly had the Modem-Airport-Computer connection working for a few minutes, but the connection quickly fell apart and I'm busy trying to methodically put it all backk together.
1) Reset modem and pulled power. Put modem back in non-bridged mode. Got new DSL password from ATT. Attached directly to computer through ethernet cable. Works!
2) Put modem into bridged mode. Cycled power on modem and computer. Set computer to "DHCP with manual address" so I could directly access the modem's settings pages. Verifed that modem showed up in bridged mode.
3) Set computer to DHCP (without manual adress)....renewed lease.....shut computer down and powered back up. Created PPPoE service on computer to see if I could get that working first before doing the same thing with the Airport....but this failed to connect! NOTE: I had gotten this working yesterday a few times, but not today.
So, this is the main issue....I can't seem to get PPPoE working via my computer to DSL modem directly, or when I use the AIrport to DSL modem.
If anyone has any pointers or advice, I would REALLY appreciate it!!!
Thanks!
Tom

Sorry for the difficulties.
I have used the Motorola 2210 for a number of years with rock solid performance. The modem is not exactly in Bridge Mode....it is set to PPPoE is on the computer or router. I do not know if the 3360 has that option.
It appears as if the 3360 has replaced the 2210....I have not tried a 3360 yet.
I use an Airport Extreme which is configured to provide the PPPoE connection service. No special setup, or hidden settings, etc. Been running fine for 4+ years.
Not sure why you are having so much trouble, when it appears that you are doing everything right.
You may have already thought of this, but it is possible to run PPPoE on the modem, and have the AirPort Extreme connect using "Ethernet". That will create a Double NAT error, but this is usually not serious, and AirPort Utility provides you with an option to "ignore" the error, so you get a green light, and not flashing amber.
I have run the network this way from time to time if for no other reason than experiment. The Double NAT does not seem to affect anything noticeably....unless you are using online gaming or other things that will not tolerate a Double NAT.
One of the advantages of using Double NAT is that you can bring up the modem settings simply by typing in the 192.168.1.254. Of course, if the network is running OK, there is not much reason to do this.
I'm not recommending that you use the Double NAT setup, but it might be worth a try to see how you like it...or if it works. Post back if need a few tips on this.

Wifi trouble with new iMac

I recently got a new iMac (27") and I am having an ongoing problem with wifi connection. It should be noted that other Apple devices -- iPad, iPhone, MacPro laptop, and Apple TV -- do not seem to have any trouble. Nor did my old Mac Pro. But the iMac connection keeps dropping. I have researched this issue in the Apple Support Forum and followed much of the advice, e.g. establishing a new connection identity, adjusting the DNS. While these solutions seemed to work for a while it wasn't long before the problem returned. I have rebooted both the computer and the modem numerous times (it is a DSL connection, BTW). Those actions also seem to help for a while but sometimes they don't help at all.
Since I transferred data from my old Mac Pro I have wondered if I have a preference or permissions issue. I know how to delete preferences when software acts up and that has sometimes been very helpful. But I don't know how to accomplish a similiar fix with the wifi.
Software is up-to-date and I have not encountered any other problems with the iMac.
Thanks.
Alice

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Trouble with new SX50HS

Hi,
I am a newbie to photography, but really interested in getting into it. I thought the SX50HS would be a nice bridge into the hobby, but so far, I am not impressed! I've ahd the camera for about two weeks. I just downloaded the pix I have taken onto my PC, and now that I can view the images at high resolution, I am having the following problems: fuzzy, out of focus images, grainy images, pasty-looking skin tones, discrete color variations, lack of detail. I've been playing around with setting a lot, but to make it simple, I have all of the above issues in auto mode. If I digitally zoom in on the pic on my PC just a little bit, it's really bad. My 10 year old Olympus PnS takes better pictures.
Overall, it looks like there is heavy compression going on, but I didn't change any settings to reduce the size or quality of the photos. It is set to "L".
The following was taken under flourescent light at high zoom, handheld. Look at the pasty-ness of the bush and lack of detail
This was taken at about 8 feet away, with moderate sunlight. Lack of detail, poor dynamic range
Detail on the couch is totally missing in this high dynamic range photo
Couch up close:
Part of a selfie:
I have taken 100-200 pix, and there are only a couple that I would say are decent. I played around with manual zoom, but it is really difficult to get right using the buttons on the back of the camera.
As I said, I am a newbie, but I get the feeling the problem is not my button-pushing skills, but a real inability of this camera to properly focus and digitally process images. I'm open to trying new things, but have a feeling I will be returning this and upgrading to something else. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? I really want to love this camera....
Thanks

Well, I've been playiung around with shutter speed and ISO a lot, and I just can't get any decent photos out of this camera. As a comparison, I took photos from theSX50 and my iPhone 5s of the same subject. I could not get any photos out of the SX50 that were better than the iphone 5s with a reasonable amount of tinkering.
Conclusion: This is going back to the store. If I can't take resonable photos with a reasonable amount of manual setting, then my wife has no chance of taking good photos with it in auto mode. Based on all the positive reviews of this camera I was expecting a good point and shoot. But if I have to do significant setup to take a shot that is comparable or slightly better than the iphone, it is not worth it. I should either to go with a camera that does better in auto mode, or go to an SLR that gives me better control over the manual settings, especially focus. Anyways, thanks for all the suggestions.

Serious trouble with new iPod - maybe you can help?

Please help if you can. 15 hours into troubleshooting this and I am desperate!!!
I just purchased a new 5th-gen, 60GB ipod. I already have a 1st gen, 10GB iPod. My old iPod is presently working great with no problems.
The new iPod, however, is not being recognized by my computer or by iTunes. And when I try to plug it in, iTunes freaks. It will stop playing music and freeze on me.
Here is what happened:
1. I knew I had the latest iTunes & iPod software on my computer, so rather than running the CD that came with the iPod, I just plugged in the iPod.
2. When I did so, the computer recognized it as a new device and attempted to (I assume - not sure) install a driver for a while. This went on for about an hour, something seemed wrong, so I disconnected the iPod.
3. At this point, connecting it always has the same behavior. It flashes "don't disconnect". ITunes freezes. Windows Explorer does not recognize or acknowledge its existence.
Here is what I have tried to do:
1. I first tried installing from the CD. This installed an older version of iTunes on my computer. This did not help matters and stopped my current iPod from working.
2. I troubleshooted this and managed to fix my old iPod by uninstalled all iTunes and iPod versions from my computer and reinstalling all of the latest bits.
3. I have doublechecked my USB ports to ensure they are USB 2.0.
4. I have tried restarting my iPod in file mode to see if the computer will recognize it then. No dice.
5. I have tried an iPod reboot, obviously.
6. I have restarted my computer innumerable times.
My gut says this is a driver issue, but I'm not remotely qualified to troubleshoot that. Can anyone help?
gateway Windows XP

Hey, I've got a few questions for you. 1. What kind of computer are you using? (ie: laptop, desktop, whatever else there is..) 2. Have you ever had the 5th Gen. working on you're computer? 3. Have you tried you're 5th Gen. on another computer which, in the past, has detected an iPod?
Done with questions for now I believe. Here's my story. My girlfriend got her iPod (5th Gen.) in April and right when she got it, she hurried over to my house because she's "technologically incompetant". Booted up my Alienware (now an artifact after being purchased new around 1998-2000) and installed all the gadgets just like the instructions said. After finishing all that, I slapped the iPod into a USB2.0 port and WindowsXP detected, found, and installed the driver for the iPod. I used iTunes to put about 500MB's of songs on there then sent her off with her new WORKING (at the moment) iPod. A few weeks later, I guess when she killed the battery, she tells me that her iPod isnt working.
Long story short...
She's using a brand new Dell Inspiron [some number and letters here] laptop computer with WindowsXP.
I did everything exactly as you had described in your first post. Few things are different, her computer has never detected the iPod, WindowsXP never found or installed a driver. When her iPod is plugged into her computer, the iPod either brings up a little battry with a lightening bolt (like it's charging) or brings up the "Do Not Disconnect" screen. After a few hours of leaving it like that and I unplug the iPod, it hastn't gained any charge. I checked to make sure everything, ie: plug and play, were all working correctly and all that good stuff; however, one thing phases me. I took her iPod back to my house and tried it on the computer that had the player working before. After a minute of plugging it in, it was detected and I could add or remove songs using iTunes, in other words: IT WAS WORKING.
I would like to see some kind of solution to our problem (which I believe to be the same) so that I don't have to drive an hour away to the only iPod (Mac) store around to replace it (luckily it is still on the warranty).
If you make any progress, please let me know.
Thanks.
