Where do I register a new mac pro with my apple id

I set up a new icloud account then used that to set up a new appleid. Started to use the email address in mail. Then got a message;
Your Apple ID ([email protected]) was used to sign in to iCloud on a MacBook Pro 13".
If you have not recently set up a MacBook Pro with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.
I thought i had so what do i do now????

Thanks, have just been through all this with my last Appleid. changed the password 6x then gave up and decided to create a new id. Thought that might solve the problem. What happens next is after a while apple will disable the id because it thinks someone is trying to use it other than me. Went to apple shop to sort out the problem with the original id and eventually said after changing every possible combinations on the computer suggested i create a new and start afresh. Thought good idea but now seem to be heading down that road again.

    as long as you are on an official Apple website, yes.  Double check your serial number to make sure you are entering it correctly.

  • New mac pro with fiber attached san storage

    We have a digital media department that uses After Effects to produce content for different types of media boards, digital signage, post production  etc. They start with Red 4K files which get edited in AE and rendered to different video formats. They want to move away from Windows PC based editors with multi drive RAID local storage to the new MAC Pro with 8GB fiber attached to a shared SAN storage solution. First question, is this a wise move to run After Effects? Second question is, do you need to create multiple logical volumes on the SAN storage to accommodate where AE render location, cache, source, database, and general media content files are stored or can this all be stored on different folders in one large 50TB volume? Third question is, should six different editors be sharing the location where these files are stored?

    Third question is, should six different editors be sharing the location where these files are stored?
    No. Each user should have his own home directory. Not for performance resons, but simply because they'll end up overwriting each other's files. The rest - logical volumes don't matter on your end, but SAN systems still use internal stripe groups, so it would make sense to define volumes on those stripe sets simply in the interest of performance. Beyond that AE doesn't really care. It uses the operating system's file I/O stuff and 'NIX based systems don't differentiate between local volumes or otehr resources as long as they are mounted correctly in teh file system.

  • I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.

    . I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store 2 days ok, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.
    I was bought a Mac book pro as a birthday gift from the Apple Store in Leicester, after completing the initial set up procedure, I noticed that  the trash bin was full of some one's entire photo collection from 2003 to 2011.
    This is entirely unacceptable for Apple: How long have Apple been fobbing of consumers who believe they were genuinely purchasing a 'new' Mac book?
    How is it that I have someones entire photo collection on my 'branch new Mac Book Pro' - these photos included wedding photo's, birthday celebrations, family celebrations and children. Its a serious breach of data protection, it's an invasion of some poor persons privacy and private photo collection. What concerns me the most, is what could have happened if those photo's had fallen into the wrong hands. We managed to trace, locate and contact the person who the photo's belong to within 10 mins using information taken from their wedding album.
    Understandably these people are also very distressed that their personal photos are on my brand new Mac Book pro.
    I would like details of who to contact in regards this incident.

  • Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite

    Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite. Old applications still work on older Mac Pro. Can't download any applications. Creative Cloud website and desktop app both fail. Very frustrating. Anyone having this problem?

    Chas50 I would recommend removing the currently installed Adobe Creative software.  You can then install the new versions of the Adobe Creative software included with your membership.  You can find complete details regarding the uninstall and install process at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

  • USB keyboard not working on new Mac Pro with Mavericks

    I just bought the new Mac Pro and my apple USB keyboard won't work. I have a very old apple USB keyboard that is working but I want to use my newer one. The newer keyboard is a full one also, including the number pad.
    Thanks

    no difference in ports just troubleshooting, ie if it didn't work on any of the 4 ports, likely a kb issue
    if it worked on one of the other 3 ports, you have a broken usb port on the mac pro

  • Want new Mac Pro With Snow Leopard

    I am after a new Mac Pro with Snow Leopard.
    I understand that some of the newer Mac Pros can have Snow Leopard installed.  Some tell me that in the recent past Apple made a change that made installation of Snow Leopard difficult or impossible on a Mac Pro.
    Does anyone know with a reasonable degree of certainty how to tell if a given Mac Pro can have Snow Leopard installed?
    I called Apple about a refurbished Mac Pro, they don't know what operating system it will come with!  And they don't know if it will include OS installation disks.

    For what it is worth, I recently went through this drama.
    Well, it's worth a lot!
    it is theoretically possible for Apple to modify the firmware to prevent Snow from booting, but my experience is that this has not happened yet.
    How long ago did you purchase your Mac Pro? (I miss the old days, when users would modify their own firmware.)
    See if you can buy from a seller who will let you test this out. There are some nice retailers out there, especially when you are dropping $1000s on a new Mac Pro.
    I've been looking for a while now, Mac Pro sellers that have Snow Leopard know how valuable there machines are. There are no bargains if you want snow leopard.
    We couldn't install Snow directly on the Mac Pro, so I installed on another computer (an older Mac Pro), and updated to 10.6.8 and swapped the drive across. This worked without issues.
    I currently own a 2008 Mac Pro (2,1) with 10.6.8
    See if you can buy from a seller who will let you test this out.
    Why not Apple?  They have a 15 Day return policy.   When I called Apple recently the person I spoke to suggested this.

  • New Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP.

    I got a new Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP that worked fine in SL.  Is it not compatible?  Is it really a PowerPC program???  I'm a videographer and rely on this software and to spend $300 to continue to use it after spending a lot more for this software 4 years ago!  Tell me this is not the case and there is a solution to installing FCP.

    How to run FCP 6 (FCS 2) under Lion.
    The installer for FCP 6 (FCS 2) is a PPC app. The Programs themselves are Intel. If your trying to install FCP 6 (FCS 2) this work-around will work...
    First you need to install Rosetta from your Snow Leopard OS installation disc:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html
    After doing that you can install FCP 6 (FCS 2). Remember, after installing FCP 6 (FCS 2) you need to apply the updates. This has been discuss many times in the Final Cut Studio forum.
    If your trying to install FCP version 5.1 (FCS 1) (a PPC app) and below your out of luck....

  • Does the new mac pro support the Apple cinema display

    Does the new mac pro support the Apple cinema display

    There is no 2007 23" Cinema Display
    There is a 2002 23" display that has the Apple ADC connector
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg
    There is also the 2004 23" display with a DVI connector.
    For the latter you just need a mini display port to DVI connector that plugs into the Thunderbolt port
    For the former you need that connector plu an DVI to ADC connector

  • New mac pro with ATI video card & 2x 24" displays??

    is it possible to connect two 24" apple displays to the new mac pro using the ATI video card?

    2 nVidia cards doesn't buy you any performance increases. They don't talk to each other to improve performance in Mac OSX. Multiple cards is mostly for supporting multiple displays. How many displays do you have?
    Apple has some initial performance benchmarks:

  • How can I migrate data to new Mac Pro with only 1 monitor

    I am ready to set up my new Mac Pro.  I know how to migrate my files from my G5 using Firewire and making the new computer a target disk.  My problem is, I have only 1 monitor.  Is there an easy way around this, OR of not, can I use my Macbook Pro just a monitor and if so how? 

    If you make the new computer a FireWire Hard drive, the only thing on its monitor will be the firewire symbol. You don't need a monitor to see that.
    But if you did, you could start the new computer up first, look at the firewire symbol, get a warm fuzzy feeling, disconnect the  monitor and plug it into the old computer to make the transfers.

  • After Effects CC and new Mac Pro with FirePro D700

    Hello
    I'm about to purchase a new Mac Pro, 64GB RAM, SSD 512, Two AMD FirePro D700. Working with post-production software basically use Adobe After Effects CC, my doubt is whether the normal After Effects continue working on this new machine. If it is fully compatible with this video card and if all resources will have a better income. And what can you tell me about the Ray-Traced with these video cards.
    Thank you.

    • Adobe does not support AMD cards with their ray-trace renderer, and are unlikely to do so in the future.
    • Cinema 4D Lite, included with AE CC, uses the CPU, not the GPU, for rendering.
    • The third party plugin Video Copilot Element 3D is GPU dependent, and they have pledged support for the Mac Pro display cards.
    • Adobe has hinted at substantial improvements to AE multi-threading efficiencies in a coming release.  The implication is that more CPU cores will be better utilised in the future. 
    I will be buying a new Mac Pro soon too.  What the above tells me is that After Effects will continue to be best served by faster and more multi-cored CPUs, rather than better GPUs.  For my money, I will stick with the cheaper D500 GPUs, and get a better CPU option.

  • How to make new Mac Pro with iWeb 08 see my existing .mac site.

    About a year ago I bought a new Mac Pro. Before that I had a G4 that I had used with an older version of iWeb to create a basic website for my business. I figured with the new Mac when I opened iWeb 08 it would see my .mac settings in System prefs and automatically open it but it does not. It will only let me creat a new site, there is no way to redirect it to an existing site.
    Anyone know how I do this or what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks

  • Rendering problems on the new Mac Pro with premier CC

    Previosuly on my iMac, periodically i got strange green compression and distortion on my exports, especially when converting from native canon 5D files to say another format such as quicktime. Now I've upgraded to the new MAC PRO and things are way worse, random distortion, artefacts and coloration is appearing in my final renders, this is almost making my workflow come to a stop. Anyone having same problems? any solutions from Adobe?
    I found that deleting the preview files and rendering helps sometimes, but surely this is a terrible bug that needs to be fixed
    in preview
    and in the exported movie
    and even crazy inverted style colours like this
    help!

    Ditto. I have recently been getting the same problem on export from Premiere.
    There's another thread here - Mac Pro Render & Export Glitching...: Apple Support Communities -
    Any idea Adobe as this seems to be getting worse and is costing me.
