Will I be able to fit multiple Sims 3 games on my new MacBook Pro/how to transfer ALL music to new laptop?
I'm receiving a new MacBook Pro for the next school year. I really would like to know if the Sims 3 base game, Late Night and Generations plus a bunch of extra custom content would fit on my computer and still run fast/without problems? Also, I really must know how to move every bit of music from iTunes and other music purchases from other music databases onto my new computer.
I hope this is enough information.
Thank you so much!
If formatted NTFS, your Mac can read, but not write to the drive.

If I bought a season pass on Apple TV (2nd Gen), will I be able to download the episodes onto my iMac or MacBook Pro?
Yes. After you purchase the season pass go to iTunes and pull down Store > Check for Available downloads.

I bought a new Macbook Pro, how can I get my very old macbook cleared of my stuff so I can give it to my grandson. I just want him to be able to use it.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
You can now follow the instructions on the install screen -
I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New songs that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?
Hey Etti101,
I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

I have installed the updates for my HP Photosmart All-in-One c309a. It prints, but will not scan. Tells me to update - I did that, but still won't scan. Any suggestions to make the scanner work?
This all worked perfectly with my old 2008 MacBook Pro.Have you tried scanning from Image Capture or Preview?
A current driver is shown to be available for Mavericks (auto-downloaded):

But many people have found that manufacturer scanning control software doesn't work. They have to use the Apple-provided software. -
Will I be able to reinstall and activate cs4 on an upgraded Macbook pro?
CS4 question: i'm upgrading my macbook pro with a Crucial 512gb solid state hd and 8gb of memory. The drive is an mx100. I'm told by Adobe chat to deactivate the license before uninstalling the software before the upgrade is done. Then to install from my original discs and activate the previous license on the new drive. Do you see anything i may have missed in these instructions that might cause it not to work? Would this new hard drive and memory make cs4 incompatible to run on this upgraded Mac? So scared I'll have to subscribe to the cloud! Thanks for any help you can give to alleviate my fears.
First off be sure you have updated to 10.10.1
I have helped someone else install Photoshop CS4 on Yosemite, so it does work.
As a precaution, run a permission repair on your boot volume from Disk Utility.
I would go for a fresh installer instead of the discs. Get it here:

Not able to transfer all music to new computer....
My old computer keeps crashing when I try to back up all my music (store & imported) to my iPod at about the halfway mark, so half my music is stuck on my old computer. I am wondering if there is another way to pull ALL of my music into iTunes on my new computer without having to do it through my iPod or an external drive?
Ok, i have a similar question. I just got a new pc; my music etc was stored on an external HD, but now I can put it all on my pc. After a fresh install of itunes, I tried dragging and dropping the itunes music folder from my hard drive into itunes; after it was all done transferring, it still only transfered a third from my itunes folder from the hard drive to the itunes folder on the pc. any suggestions?

yes you can do it and not void the warranty. Those are the only hardware changes that Apple permits. Instructions on how to upgrade the ram and remove and replace the hard drive are even included in the owners manuals for MacBook Pros.

i need to buy a new macbook pro/i am from OR, but i am in PA now/when i asked about that i found the tax will be around 100$/there is some one said to me that if i have the ID state of OR i would be able to buy it by the samr price/is it true ?
Goods delivered to you for personal or business use (not for resale) in Pennsylvania are subject to Pennsylvania state sales tax.
If you are exempt from Pennsylvania state sales tax, or are a Not-for-profit corporation and have a DBA certificate in Pennsylvania, you may be able to buy tax-free. I doubt this.
If you have the goods delivered to your address in Oregon, and there is no state sales tax in Oregon, you would not have to pay state sales tax.
Since Apple does business in all 50 states, they are also obligated to charge you sales tax (for the state where the goods are delivered) when you buy from the Apple Online store. -

I used to be able to watch net flux and hulu on my macbook pro not it the sites will not open, what is wrong?
What happens when you try?
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
Safe Mode - Mavericks also Yosemite

If I buy a new MacBook Pro, will I be able to download Numbers free on my existing iMac?
I'm thinking about purchasing a new Macbook Pro Retina and I've heard that Numbers, Pages and Keynote are included free on new machines. I just wanted to know if this in the process would allow me to download those same applications on my iMac free of charge.
Yes, once you have downloaded the iWorks apps on your new Mac they will be in your Purchases list and available to download on any other Mac that you own or have in your control.

I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work? I understand that using a USB port connection is not fast enough for video editing. I read somewhere the G Drives don't connect well to MacBook Pro.
thanks
larryI doubt this can be relocated or moved so you might want to just repost in the macbook pro area.

Can you afford a new Thunderbolt case and cable? any case with FW800 is going to be slow 72MB/sec and less, and any new 1TB drive is capable of 75MB/s minimum up to 125MB/sec.
Thunderbolt storage can of course when setup properly reach 100's of MB higher using multiple drives.
Use what you have for a system backup or for secondary backup storage.
you might be able to take the drive - most cases allow you to open and swap drives - and use this:
G-Technology 1TB G-DRIVE mini High-Speed Portable Hard Drive

Hi!
I recently bought the new MacBook Pro with the new retina display, but since it does not have a dvd/cd drive, I was going to buy an external one. I think I will be able to use it to watch dvds, but can I also play the computergame The Sims 3 on it? If not is there anything else I can do?
Thank you!Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can try formatting the external drive on your eMac using Disk Utility and choosing a well-known format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html. It's quite possible that your new iMac would be able to read it, but first, tell us which formats Disk Utility lists.
If you have those songs in iTunes, simply go to Music folder and copy the iTunes folder to the external drive. Then, connect it to the iMac and copy the iTunes folder to Music folder.
If they are not in iTunes, copy your songs to the external drive. Then, connect it to your new iMac, open iTunes and drag the songs into it -
Sims 3 crashes all the time on new MacBook Pro, what do I do?
Got a brand new MacBook Pro 13inch (not retina) for Christmas. I was advised when buying the Mac to update the ram if I wanted to use it for playing the Sims 3 (which I did). Previsoulsy I had a Sony VAIO (top spec) in which the Sims 3 worked on for years, however the past few months it started to crash saying "unexspected error". I thought at the time it was just my laptop starting to give in, as I had it for 6 years and was used everyday.
However I have just installed all my Sims 3 discs to my Mac and the exact thing is happening. Im not very tech when it comes to these things, all I can guess is maybe one of the games is corrupt? Or there is something wrong with the disc? I have purchased a new exspansion pack which should be here tomorrow to see if the problem is with the disc I am using now.
Any help would be appreciated, as one of the main reasons I bought my new Mac was because I thought the Sims 3 would work on it efficantley.
Many Thanks,
RebeccaRebecca,
have you checked on the EA Web site to see if The Sims 3 requires a downloadable update to be able to run on whichever version of OS X is currently installed on your MacBook Pro?
