When I try to reinstall from disk it says I didn't purchase using my itunes id??

when I bought the machine, the store installed the software, so how to overcome this?

Yes, I had the same conclusion.  Apple's approach in attaching the connection of software to a person as  "ownership" to a person rather than a machine that it is actually installed on, (like MS), seems peculiar, but I suppose they are far more savvy in following the money...  Thanks - off to the mall this weekend.

    I have download a video on my iPhone but want to watch it on my iPad which both are connected to the same iTunes account but it hasn't shared to my iPad !?? When I try to download on my iPad says I've already purchased and would I like to buy again ?

    Movies are not part of the automatic downloads feature. Apps, music and books only.
    If you live in the U.S. you can download many Movies again for free using the same Apple ID that you bought the movie with. If you do not live in the U.S, that feature is not available. Not all Movies are available at this time either.
    You can transfer the movie to iTunes on your computer and then sync it to the iPad if you like.

  • None of my Firefox icons will open Firefox today. And when I try to reinstall it, the message says Firefox is already open. But I don't see it.

    Every morning I click on the Firefox icon and it opens. Today it will not. When I try to reinstall it, a message appears that Firefox is already open. But I cannot see it. Of course I can use Chrome or Internet Explorer (as I'm doing), but I like Firefox. And I also want to know what the problem is ... in case something serious is wrong with my computer.

    Hello,
    * Go to your task manager (right click your task bar and select "Start Task Manager" - http://www.howtogeek.com/108742/how-to-use-the-new-task-manager-in-windows-8/)
    * Check if Firefox is on that list. If it is - select it and End Task.
    * Try opening Firefox again; if it still doesn't open after a while, repeat the above two steps and then try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]]
    ** On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    ** When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    * '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    * ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • When I try to restore from backup, it says my phone is locked and I need a passcode, but it isn't locked

    When I try to restore my contacts on my iphone 3G from my MacBook Pro, it says that my phone is locked and that I need a passcode, however, it doesn't give me the option to enter a passcode. I checked to see if it was locked and it is not. For some reason, the sync process thinks it is. Any ideas?
    Thank you

    You're right about the computer. Our computer guy couldn't get my computer to work right so he used a coworkers. However, when it says I need to enter a passcode, it doesn't give me a popup or anything to do so...?

       Also tried restoring system from backup but just does the same thing
    This is where a HD clone is so important, ...
    Time Machine can do nothing with/to a crashed / failing HD. 
    Like refilling a gumball machine with a hole in the bottom, ....futile.
    At least your vital data is backed up. Look into getting a new internal HD. Very cheap fix $65 for a new HD.
    If you have Apple care on your 2011 macbook, contact them for repair/ HD replacement.

  • I have deleted iPhoto from my MacBook Air. When I try to reinstall it, itunes tries to charge me. Is there a way to reinstall the old version for free?

    I have deleted iPhoto from my MacBook Air. When I try to reinstall it, itunes tries to charge me. Is there a way to reinstall the old version for free?

    depening on what OS you're running you should be able to reinstall it without charge since it's part of the operating system. if running 10.6.8 or earlier you will need to use the applications install disc if there is one or if you only have one disc you can put it in and do a reinstall of the OS which will put the iphoto back on. if running 10.7 or 10.8 can sign into the app store w/ the same apple id that is associated w/ the mac and it should show in your purchases for you to reinstall it. you may need to click on the accept button if it appears next to the iphoto in your purchase listing.

  • Getting an error when I try to boot from my snow leopard disk

    I want to install Snow Leopard on a partion on my new iMac. But when I try to boot from my old Snow Leopard-startup-disk all that happens is that I hear some beeping noise from the iMac.
    Would apreciate any help.
    Best Regards

    If your machine shipped with Lion, most likely you cannot install SL, since it won't run on it. Details in Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac

    This usually happens when you had/ have a newer Adobe product like a trial on the system and it points to updated install components. You will have to uninstall each and every bit of Adobe software and then reinstall in the proper order. Running the cleaner tool may also be required.

  • My Imac fails when I try to upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  I have to boot up from disk.  Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?

    My iMac fails when I try to upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  I have to boot up from disk.  Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?   I need to upgrade in order to install latest software.

    It would be lovely to know what your talking about. Upgrading from Snow Leopard does not involve discs.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
                 Identifier 5,1 or later.
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • What's wrong? Kernel panic when I try to reinstall my iMac G4

    Hello everyone. This is my last ditch effort to salvage something from my iMac G4 before I bin it.
    To cut a long story short, the iMac was misbehaving, so I wiped its hard drive using target disk mode, and now, when I try to reinstall it using the original system disk, it immediately goes to a kernel panic and tells me to restart. The hardware test tells me that everything's OK. So... what next?
    I've tried reinstalling using target disk mode, but it didn't work (nothing happened, I'm assuming because my new machine is an Intel while the iMac is a Power PC...)
    Any helpful suggestions would be gratefully received.

    Given the age of the unit, there is a possibility that the internal
    hard disk drive may have failed. Sometimes, those will not show
    on the Apple Hardware Test. But there are times when the booted
    Disk Utility version on the Installer disc may note a problem in the
    hard disk drive, via the SMART status of that hard drive.
    Even that may not indicate an actual failure of the drive, after it has.
    But kernel panics can be caused by several items, especially in an
    older computer that has been around awhile. Some of those have a
    history of a kernel panic relating to the logic board or other circuit;
    and bad RAM is one of the causes of hardware related KPs.
    If you can boot the computer from the Installer disc and run Disk Utility
    from its options in the Installer header menu, the problem may be with
    the internal hard disk drive. The unit may require further troubleshooting.
    You may be able to find interested persons locally through a Mac user
    group or someone at an affiliated service department who handles them.
    Also, there are regional or local online listings for selling items where you
    would actually meet the buyer or seller, often in a third or neutral location.
    There are some fair take-apart links, some posted to these Discussions,
    showing how to replace a hard disk drive, internal RAM, and optical drive;
    and some users may also know of a source for more technical manuals.
    If you had an external FireWire enclosure for a boot capable hard disk drive
    you could try to further troubleshoot the iMac G4; set up correctly, you could
    install OS X to an external drive. Not all FireWire HDD units are boot-capable.
    Good luck & happy computing!
