I have a mac OS 10.8.2 and I want to download office mac 2008 however it is a cd rom and my comp doesnt have a cd rom. Is there any way to still download it without buying an external disk drive?

Yes, if you have access to another computer with an optical drive. You can connect the two computers via your home network and use File Sharing to transfer the installer to your HDD. You can also use:
DVD or CD sharing- Using Remote Disc
Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks

Have you been having some problems that make you think you may have malware installed?
Download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here (and recommended by Apple Support personnel) in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.

Is there any way to write-enable an NTFS-format WD external Hard Drive ?

I have a WD Elements external HD unit, 1TB previously formatted NTFS under Windows XP on a PC. I would like to use this HD unit to both read and write data using both the Windows PC and a MacBook Pro. But when connected to the MacBook Pro (USB), the HD unit shows up as Read Only.
Is there a way to write-enable the HD unit without losing, or having to backup/restore, the mass of data already saved there ?
I have tried installing NTFS-G3 on the MBP, as suggested elsewhere. Having done so, when I "get information" about the WD unit, the disc format shows as "Windows NT File System (NTFS)" and not NTFS-G3 as expected. Ran chkdsk on the WD under Windows to iron out any problems in the disc's file system. It ran for several hours before completing successfully, but there was no change at all - the unit is still read-only after re-connecting to the MBP.
Can anyone help out please?

Why would you expect it to say NTFS-3G? NTFS-3G is just a program that translates the NTFS to something the Mac OS can deal with. It doesn't change the format of the hard drive. The drive is formatted with the New Technology File System (NTFS), not the NTFS-3G file system.
Were you not able to write to the drive with NTFS-3G installed? Did you install the free version? If so, did you install MacFuse, also? It is required for the free version of NTFS-3G.
Edit:
I just plugged in an NTFS drive and I'm guessing what you were looking for was something to indicate what was doing the translation. On mine I get, "Windows NT File System (Tuxera)." So, I think I understand what you meant before. My guess is as I stated above. Make sure you also have MacFuse installed if you are using the free version of NTFS-3G.

Are there any ways to speed up Aperture without buying new hardware?

I have seen on many forums people complaining about the speed of Aperture. I have an iMac 2.16Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM and Aperture is slow.
Navigating the images is not too bad really. They show quick enough for me, but my major gripe is with the speed of adjustments (in RAW). Functions such as Straightening and Sharpening are so slow that it makes it difficult to choose the level you desire.
For example, straightening is a fine art and because of the slowness the image jumps rather than rotating smoothly. This is extremely annoying!
Bar spending money money on a higher spec has anyone got any tips on speeding things up a little? Would reducing the quality of the previews help?

Bluegrassbarry you can download and install Illustrator CS6 from Download CS6 products. Do you currently have a Creative Cloud Membership? If not then I would recommend upgrading your operating system prior to subscribing. You can find the system requirements for Creative Cloud at System requirements | Creative Cloud.

When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time I lost all of my music and my ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them back?

Download the free app My Contacts Backup and use it to back up the contacts on your device now (it will back them up as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself). Then restore your device to your most recent backup to see if it will recover your contacts. If not, if necessary you can open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts you have now back to your device.
If you need to restore to an iCloud backup this has to be done in the initial setup process, which requires you to first erase your device. If you have any more recent data on your device now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens on your device, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

Is there any way to legally download OSX Leopard?

I'm away from my home for a few months and would like to replace my harddrive (going from a 160gb to 640gb). I do not have my install discs with me. Is there any way I can download and burn a copy of them legally? Or somewhere I can buy a replacement set of discs?
Thank you for any help!

To clone your Mac to new disk:
1 - Make sure you do not use a Western Digital enclosure.
2 - Download Carbon Copy Cloner from: http://www.bombich.com/
3 - Make sure you have a copy elsewhere of anything you wish to keep from the new disk.
4 - Format the new disk as described here:
http://help.bombich.com/kb/overview/preparing-your-backup-disk-for-a-backup-of-m ac-os-x
5 - Follow these instructions to put a full clone of your Mac onto the new disk:
http://help.bombich.com/kb/overview/establishing-an-initial-backup
I include my standard upgrade advice just in case you decide to go that route:
Before the install
Ensure your data (at least all Home folders) is backed up before you install. Hard disks can fail at any time so it is important to regularly backup to an external disk with Time Machine or a third party alternative. Inexperienced users should follow Apple's install advice but experienced users may prefer to do a clean install.
OS numbers and names
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
More about Macs
The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com
Upgrade to Leopard
Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
Upgrade beyond Leopard
OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Upgrade to Lion
Information about upgrading Snow Leopard to Lion: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
Information about upgrading Snow Leopard or Lion to Mountain Lion: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Important
Check that your Mac complies with any requirements.
If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers. To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.
Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share. You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons. Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
Go to Music in your Home Share. Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.
