Trying to go legit, but it's not working

I've just recently purchased Final Cut Studio 3. It wasn't directly from Apple, but a third-party retailer: www.cheapestlegalsoftware.com. It seemed (and still seems) legit (or so I hope). I've installed the Studio and all programs run fine except for Motion. Every time I try to open Motion, it prompts for my name and serial number again, and then says the serial isn't valid. I've tried deleting the SystemID from the ProApps folder, and Final Cut will open again, accept the serial and work fine. However, it's always the same thing with Motion.
I have had Final Cut Studio installed before, the previous time from a borrowed copy from a friend, which I know isn't Kosher, but with this I've been trying to to go with a legitimate copy of the program.
Why would the serial be valid for all of the programs except Motion?

Motion is newer software and may have a more up to date list of banned serials?

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card)

Things to note:
I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all. I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either. Help!

Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion. I've done all that. I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password. I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password). My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do. His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume). We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections. They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired. Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit. My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely. The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed? I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard. I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update. Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections?

HT5594 After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone 4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

I finally just resolved this after not being able to enable location services since upagrading to iOS 7. Posting the solution here 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere else.
I enabled Restrictions under Settings > General > Restrictions and created a passcode (I'm not sure if this was part of the solution, but it wasn't enabled for me by default.)
In Restrictions, under Privacy, Location Services was set to "Allow Changes" (This still didn't solve the issue of the greyed-out Location Services switch though - I still couldn't turn it on.)
Also in Restrictions, I also switched "Find My Friends" to "Allow Changes"
Once I did step 3, the switch under Settings > Privacy > Location Services was no longer greyed out and could be switched on.
Hope this helps!

Well the blinking light shows it's charging, however just to make sure.
Reset the SMC, then connect the machine to a power source that doesn't have a lot of other power items on the same lines (in the walls) in the same room and see how it is in the morning.
For instance use a powerline in another spare room that isn't being used as much.

You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

I've tried so many things but itunes is not working

I tried to install itunes 5 last monday but it did not install successfully and I encountered many of the error messages people have already detailed. (I'll know next time to check these boards before faithfully clicking on the download button - I could have saved myself so much hassle!)
I followed the instructions in Dimitry's post - uninstalled bonjour/quicktime etc and then managed to do a system restore. The system restore went ok and itunes seemed to be working but it made the computer run incredibly slow and messed up the 'Ahead Nero- Burning Rom' program.
On saturday, we ran a defrag to see if that would speed up the computer - that took nearly 7 hours to run! I then did another system restore which has made the computer run properly. But itunes did not work, so I tried to reinstall it from the disk that came with the ipod. It gets to the end of the installation and says that a newer version is stored on the computer and so cannot install.
I then picked up a download for itunes 4.9 from one of these threads and tried to install that version, but again get the same message that there's a newer version on the computer so cannot install.
I think I have itunes 4.8 on the computer, but when i try and open it, I get a message that itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing and i need to reinstall itunes! (I don't think quicktime is installed correctly on the computer either as i get an error message - is the standalone download on the apple site safe to use?)
I think i need to completely uninstall itunes and then reinstall it, but i'm scared of losing all my music. I cannot back my music up as the burning-rom program is not working - i tried reinstalling it, but i need to enter a serial number to complete the installation, but i don't have one as it all came in the bundle with the computer.
Any advice greatfully received!

Hi B
I meticulously followed the instructions but I still haven't been able to completely uninstall itunes and the ipod.
When I right-click on the bin folder in the ipod folder in program files and then choose delete, I get the following message:
"Cannot delete iPodServiceLocalized.dll: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is currently not in use."
When I right-click on the Quicktime folder in program files, I get the following message:
"Cannot delete QTTASK.EXE: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is currently not in use."
When i open the windows installer cleanup tool I cannot see itunes/ipod/quicktime in the list.
I suspect this is something to do with administrator rights? How do I log in as an administrator? Only me and my husband use the computer, but we don't log in under any different IDs or anything, we just switch it on and start using it?!
I tried installing 4.9 from one of the other threads anyway, but I still get the message that a newer version of itunes is installed so it cannot continue. The itunes in the ipod program file shows as 4.8.0.
Look forward to your advice again.
Thanks, Amanda.

How do I transfere a playlist from my iPod to my computer, which I made on my computer from all my songs. I've tried export and import, but they are not working.

I accidently created a playlist sitting at my computer but saved to my iPod. I would like the playlist on my Itunes library so my husband can put the play list on his ipod which is also synced to my/our computer.
I tried to export the playlist then import. It seems like it imported, but i don't see it. How do I find it? on the videos I watched the playlist just shows up in the iTunes library playlist column.
It did not. What do I do next?
Thanks

Transfer files between your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad and your computer
Connect your device to your computer.
Click the device button, then click Apps.
Below File Sharing (you might need to scroll down to see it), in the list on the left, select the app on your device that you want to transfer a file to or from.
Do one of the following:
Transfer a file from your computer to your device: Click Add, select the file you want to transfer, and click Open.
Transfer a file from your device to your computer: Select the file you want to transfer in the list on the right, click “Save to,” select where you want to save the file, and click Open.
The file is transferred to your device or saved in the location you specified on your computer.
On your device, the file can be opened in the app you selected in step 3.
Hope this helps

HT204144 I am on mac mini (mid 2011) and iphone 6 and trying to use airdrop but it is not working.

I followed all instructions but under mac finder, air drop is simply blank. I have set-up everyone on airdrop on iphone 6 in control center. Am I missing something. I am also on same network.

I read this paragraph:
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
--end--
So I am using mac mini mid 2011 and according to this line, I may not use it and need mac 2012, right? but why air drop is showing here on my mac mini is due to fact that transfer between 2 mac computers is possible if one is even of less than 2012 make.
I think I am clear now. Thank you and see if you have any thought on this?

Using a PC; converting a Word 2010 document to PDF; upon completion the PDF document has a dark and/or patterned background; I have tried "removing" the background but that has not worked.

Can someone help me remove what appears to be a 'background' that is created when converting a Word 2010 doc to a PDF format. I am using the 'save as' method and selecting PDF as the file type. I have used this method for over a year and have just had this "background" problem today. It is not happening on all documents; so far it's just happened on 2 resumes but not on the accompanying cover letters which I think is very odd.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Sara –
I’ve attached the converted documents so you can see what I mean. The Word document was not shaded in these ways; it was just a white background…or no background at all.
I don’t know if these were created from scanned documents.
Thanks!
