Then that is what you need to do.
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

1)  Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

    I downloaded the recent software update Mountain Lion and now my microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. are no longer supported. Why is this? What can I do?

    Depending upon how extensive your library of legacy Microsoft Office data files are, you may want to consider continuing to use Microsoft Office 2004.
    Microsoft Office's 2011 version is compatible with Lion and presumably either works with Mountain Lion or an update will make it so.  The problem with this approach is that Office 2011 will "convert" your earlier data files and there lies the rub!  For example, I have the need to weekly open a chart created in Excel 2004, but Excel 2011 trashes the chart in its "conversion."
    So I have approached the overall problem differently.
    The reason your applications do not work in Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006.  When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
    Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
    The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
    So for those of use that need to run Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

    And now Mountain Lion:
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:

    Snow Leopard is $29 and Parallels 7 is $79 retail (cheaper from competitive sources) and Parallels offers a 14 day free trial of Parallels 7 on their website:

  • I downloaded the new software on my iPad and I can't get the iMessage to work

    I downloaded the new software and when I try to sign in to my iMessage it says the network connection isn't working it then won't let me download anything from the stores. However it let's me sign in to the iCloud and the Internet connection is fine.

    If you have updated to iOS 5 then when you want to use messages you need  register by going into settings then go to messages and  then turn it on and use your apple I tunes ID. You can only use it between other  updated devices.

    Have you tried to reboot your router? Unplug it, count to 30, plug it back in and let it reboot. Also you may want to go into your settings on your iPad and 'reset network settings'.
    In case the update messed something up, letting the devices reboot sometimes helps.

    "The new java Version 7 Update 13 is not exactly helpful in macbook pro.
    try the version 11 or 12 they should work perfectly."
    The OP is running 10.6.8 so Java 6 is his option at this point.

    Hold Power and Home buttons until iPhone restarts. Ignore "Slide to Power off".

  • Like a fool I tried to download the new software for my 3GS. Now oI can't get the dam thing activated. I'm in Portugal but my phone originates from the UK.

    Like a fool I tried to download the new software for my 3GS. Now oI can't get the dam thing activated. I'm in Portugal but my phone originates from the UK. Help.

    I actually interpreted this as a carrier lock issue.  If that is the case the OP needs to contact the UK carrier who owns the rights to lock the iPhone.  Only that carrier can unlock it. 
    Was the iPhone unlocked by means of jailbreak software? If that is the case, then the reply from Phil McCafrey would apply to this as well.

    I have downloaded the new iOS for my ipad2 and now my apps have no sound and no system sounds

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

    You'll need to upgrade to Parallels Desktop 7 to regain compatibility.  Good luck....

  • Downloaded the new 5.1.1.OS and now unable to access "my apps" with password

    I downloaded the new 5.1.1. OS and now I am unable to access my App Store with my password, now what? It erased all of my contacts as well and I wasn't able to restore my phone either.
    Thanks.

    Try placing the iPhone in recovery mode  ...
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
