I had to delete everything on my computer and install the operating system again , but I had to install Snow Leopard because it was the cd that came with the computer when I bought it. The problem is that I had already paid for the OS Lion and even had upgraded to the Mavericks . I do not think it's fair to have to pay again and I would like to upgrade my operating system without having to pay again for the same system.

Hi anatuta,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are trying to upgrade your Mac to a newer version of OS X, after completing a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
If you have already purchased and downloaded OS X Lion and Mavericks, you should be able to find these items in the Purchased section of the Mac App Store.
You may find the steps in this article helpful with finding the items:
Mac App Store: Finding your purchased apps - Apple Support
If you do not see the items in the Purchased section, they may be hidden:
Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

Is it possible to have a copy of PS CS6 on my laptop too that came with my PC when I bought it

I've bought this PC and PS CS6 was installed in here, but I want one on my laptop too, how do I get a copy on my laptop?
You know.. the programs you tick when you buy prebuild computers :/

I've bought this PC and PS CS6 was installed in here
That may not be good enough – was the license actually transferred to you?
Is it a perpetual license or a cloud license?

Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album. I would like to know how I can get the rest of the songs cause I already paid for the album and I went on my computer and it said that I have to pay for them even though I already paid for the whole album. So what do I do?

Sync with the same computer iTunes that you normally sync with.

I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer. Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?

I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer. Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook? The hard drive I am planning to install is a WD Scorpio Black 500GB SATA 2.5'' internal hard drive.

Sometimes they do work - i've done it before. I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
Why not just clone your hard drive? It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
Unless you're having issues with your old set up or your old hard drive is dead.
You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
Good luck

I have zero out all data on my imac, as i brought it second hand and the disk the guy supplied dont seem capatable with my imac to install the operating system again so it is frozen at the grey start up screen. show i buy a new snow leopard disc fromapple

i have zero out all data on my imac, as i brought it second hand and the disk the guy supplied dont seem capatable with my imac to install the operating system again so it is frozen at the grey start up screen. should i buy a new snow leopard disc from apple and install that as my new operating system. please help as had the computer a month now and still cant use it yet.

You can call AppleCare and request a replacement set of the original DVD's that shipped with the computer for a nominal charge. You will need the serial number (look on the bottom of the stand) and a credit card. Click the AppleCare Contact Info link. Without knowing which iMac you have it's very difficult to say if a new SL disc would work or not.

I ordered the 'Creative Cloud" student version two days ago, but yet it only appears as the test version, though I already paid for the the first month. What can I do?

When try to view a movie with a external reader it makes a weird noise at time and other times works fine I think I read somewhere theat you can only use thereader that came with your computer

When I put a movie DVD in my external reader it makes a strange noise and at times it gets hung up I have to force quit it and then I can eject the dvd
I believe I read some wherre that you can only use the reader that came with my computer

That sounds like the drive is faulty. CD and DVD will have seperate heads, and burn and read will be different lasers in each. If it's still in warranty I'd exchange it.

How to report an issue with Your iTunes Store purchase

Can't create a factory recovery disk using the recovery partition that came with my computer

When I push the Q: recovery drive> Create recovery media, I get a message saying
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\factory recovery\recovburncd.exe'. Make sure you types the name correctly, and then try again."
How do I go about fixing this and creating a recovery disk?

You can purchase replacements from AppleCare:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support visit online support site.
However, you might want to consider upgrading to Snow Leopard - $29.00 at any local Apple retailer or the Online Store. This may actually be less costly than purchasing replacement discs, although the replacement discs will have the Apple Hardware Test that is not going to be on the Snow Leopard DVD, nor will any of your pre-bundled software.

Where do I get MPN for iLife that came with my computer?

I purchased a MacBook about a year ago. I just now have occasion to use iPhoto. I'd like to register it in case there are updates. When I attempt to do so I am asked for the "market product number" [MPN]. The methods explained for locating the MPN on Apple's website -- e.g., opening the Apple System Profiler -- do not work for me.
How can I locate the MPN? Alternatively, do I need to register my copy of iLife? It's iLife 08 and was purchased late December of 08.
Thanks,
Eric Weir

Eric:
iPhoto is only available with the iLife suite of iApps, not by itself. As for iLife 10 no one knows what the schedule is. In the past it had been released at the time of the MacWorld Expo. Since Apple is not participating in the Expo any more we don't know if there will be a scheduled release or not.
Since the Expo is only a few weeks away I would at least wait until it's over before ordering iLife 09 if you are interested in ordering 09. Otherwise, start using 08 and get familiar with it. Then compare the differences between 08 and 09 to see if it's worth it for you to upgrade.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

I dont have da cd that came with da computer....

can i still get mac os x??or wat can i do??i wanna do this so i can upgrade my computer and since i bought it of my friend she lost da cd so yea wat can i do??
ibook mac os 9.2.2 Mac OS 9.0.x its lime green!!

You can get replacement System Install & Restore CDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
OR
You can get a copy of the retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD direct from the Apple Store, but only by telephone.
Make sure you check out all of the following links as prices vary for the OS 9.x cds.
Ask the vendors the color of the CD lable. All universal full install CDs are white w/an orange/golden 9.x on it.

Do NOT buy a gray installation CD - those are not universal installers but model-specific [NO matter what the seller says about them!] OEM-versions have caused problems in the past when used on other computer models.

I'm working on a 30 day trial even though I've already paid for the full suite.

After effects keeps asking me for a serial number.
Illustrator works fine.
Has anyone had this issue?? How can I fix this?
ADOBE help plz.

Thx Ned for the Reply!
Thx to customer service I managed to fix the issue but next day Creative Cloud Desktop app started crashing seconds after initiating. I could run the apps I had donwloaded but couldn't update or download new apps.
So I gave up and rebooted my computer.
Everything is working perfectly now!

I've paid for my Mountain Lion and can see the transaction in my itunes account, but it fails to download for the past 36 hours. Any solutions, or is the system heavily overloaded?

Can anyone help with this issue? It's hard to beleive that Apple is having such a protracted problem...

Sorry to hear that, it does seem to be stateside where the problems are (been to Vancouver, great City by the way ) Here I downloaded ML at 8pm last night with no issues. I didn't click the main banner I clicked Mountain Lion under I think it was productivity, not sure if that made any difference though tbh. Its worth the wait, runs beautifully so far on my Mid 2011 i7 iMac. If you can maybe try taking your Mac to an Apple store and see if they have better bandwidth for the download.

Why is my account asking me to upgrade, when I have already paid for the annual service?

I had the SendNow service since July of 2013, it came up for renew this July, which it was renewed.
Why am I still being asked to upgrade my account, even tho I have paid for it to be renewed already?
Currently Send only allows me to send 50 image files at once and was able to with SendNow to send whole folders.
Please advise, this has become a pain in the *** for me, having to send multiple emails for so many files.

They ask you to upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Pro ... if you do so, you will get the money paid for future months back.

I had to delete everything on my computer and install the operating system again , but I had to install Snow Leopard because it was the cd that came with the computer when I bought it. The problem is that I had already paid for the OS Lion and even h
