When you buy a macbook pro does it come with all the software you need
when i purchase a macbook pro with retina display. will it come with all the software i need
Hi logan_logan,
Probably all depends on your past experience, but I'm getting a new Macbook Air next week, and I will be purchasing Microsoft Office. I have been using Word and Excel for years, and know all of the tricks, bells, and whistles, so just really don't want to go through a major learning curve to figure out how to use a new word processing and spreadsheet processing system.
I've had a little experience with Pages on my iPad (which I know is not even a close comparison to what is on the Mac), but I'm just more comfortable with Word.
So, I'd say depends on whether you want something that you are comfortable with, or something that is a new adventure! What's your pleasure?

I have a MacBook Pro, does it come with antivirus softwarealready installed or do I need to purchase it.
No. You don't need it. But if you did you could use the freeware ClamXav 2.2.1.

AFAIK, there is no suich thing. There is no listing for iLife in Apple's online store. iPhoto, GarageBand & iMovie can only be obtained through the Mac app store. -
When I buy a macbook pro now , will it have mac os x lion on it?
when I buy a macbook pro now , will it have mac os x lion on it?
It would depend on when it was produced, eg if it has been sitting in a store for months it maybe loaded with the older operating system, whereas if it is newly produced it should come with lion on it.

Yes, when mountain lion first came out there was a peroid where if you had bought a Mac computer in the last few months then you could get it for free. But becuase it's been out for a year i think now, thats not the case

Do you have to redeem your iTunes gift card every time you buy something? Or does it take money off the card automatically?
As far as I know redeeming a card simply adds the value to your account.
When I credit a gift card I get a credit appearing in my iTunes account.
Every time I buy something the cost is deducted from my 'iTunes credit', the card is no lobger needed or usable after redemption.

If I buy a MacBook Pro now will it update to the new Yosemite in the fall?
If I buy a MacBook Pro now, will it update to the new Yosemite software in the fall?
If you purchase a brand new model, yes. If you purchase an older one, it depends on what the system requirements for Yosemite are, which aren’t publicly available.

I am about to buy a MacBook Pro. How do I transfer the apps I've purchased in the App store to the new computer?
I have a MacBook. I purchased things apps like Pages, Numbers. etc in the App store. Im' just wondering how to put them on the new MacBook Pro without having to purchase them again. Will the Migration Assistant do this?

My MacBook Pro didn't come with a recovery CD and recovery HD will not show up
My MacBook Pro didn't come with a recovery CD and recovery HD will not show up
if you're running Snow Leopard - there there will be no recovery partition - only Lion and Mountain Lion has that.
did you buy your Macbook used?
you can call Apple to order the original install DVD for your Macbook or you can order Snow Leopard for $20. -
My MacBook Pro turns on but not all the way, it gives me an icon of a grey folder with a question mark in the middle, and won't go further that that. Anyone knows why, or what's the problem?
If these do not resolve the issue or if you are not comfortable with proceeding through these steps then take your Mac to an Apple store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. An Apple store will perform these initial steps, diagnose the problem, and give an estimate for repairs (if needed). If the Mac is less than one year old or is covered by AppleCare any repairs would be free.

I am attempting to re sync my iPad2 with my macbook pro iTunes and i get all the way to where it tells me to connect to iTunes...which my iTunes on my macbook sees as connected, yet my iPad still tells me to connect to iTunes...AND yet it is connected..HELP
Your iPad is going to show "Connect to iTunes" screen until you either set it up successfully or restore it. If you've already set your iPad up in the past, "Connect to iTunes" typically indicates the iPad is in Recovery Mode and you must restore it.

My Macbook pro didn't come with any restore disks, How can I make some?
I was just curious, Macs and Macbooks used to include restore disks. My new Macbook Pro did not come with any so how do I create a set?
Though these instructions are for Mt. Lion, they will work for Mavericks as well. Making one one of these will free you from depending upon Apple servers if the need should arise.

Is there a reason why my macbook pro didn't come with a disc?
Is there a reason why my macbook pro didn't come with a disc?
If you just bought it and it came with Lion then you don't get a DVD. Instead what they have done is created a Recovery Partition on the drive that serves the same function.
