I have IMAC 10.6.8 version , Would like to know if I change to MAVERICK OS I WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM in terms of my existing files etc
I have personal data and other files stored in OS
Although upgrading shouldn't damage your data/personal files, before any upgrade it is essential you have tried and tested full backup (Time Machine or a clone) so that you can restore to the previous state if things go wrong, or for whatever reason you want to revert.
Check the tech specs to make sure your Mac is compatible with the upgrade, and although 2gb RAM is stated as the requirement, real world use suggests that anything less than 4gb and Mavericks will be a very slow performer:

A possible problem you may face is that older PowerPC apps will no longer work in Mavericks (or Lion, Mountain Lion) as Rosetta, which enabled older apps to run is no longer supported/included in the OS. Check carefully the compatibility of any apps you rely on in your workflow. Here's a fairly comprehensive compatibility list:

You could be faced with having to upgrade or replace several apps.

I would like to know if "Restore Backup" to my new phone will load up all the information I have which backed up from my other phone. I only "clicked" on "Backup" when I connected the new phone to my computer. I was afraid to click on "Restore Backup" to have all the other information I had from my other iPhone load up to my new iPhone. Hope you can help. What is the difference between "Backup" and "Restore Backup"; is all that different from synching.Thanks. Ana
That's up to you. Do you want the data on your old phone on your new phone? If so, you follow the directions here:

If you want to setup your new phone as a new device, then there is nothing you need to do. -

I would like to know how to change my Apple ID on my iMac to my current ID
I am having trouble using iCloud on my iMac. (2011 model) When I go into it, an older email address comes up not connected to my AppleID anymore. My other devices are fine with the new appleID but I don't know where to change it on the desktop. I went into settings to see if was a way, but I'm not quite savvy enough to find the right place. Please could someone help?

Stampede, welcome to the forum.
Go to "Start", Search programs and files, type gadgets and Add gadgets to desktop. You should find Sticky Notes. If not, I am not certain that you will be able to reinstall it.

HT1212 Hi, i would like to know how to change my back up computer for my i phone
Hi , how do you go about changing your back up computer
Normally when you connect a new iPhone to your computer iTunes will recognize it as a new iPhone and ask you how would you like to set it up. If you didn't get that screen then you may have used the iPhone prior. If it didn't then try deleting all data then connect the iPhone 4 to the computer and it should go to the iPhone setup screen where it will give you the opportunity to setup your iPhone as a new device (the name of your old iPhone should be in the name box). If that don't happen then do this, keep your iPhone connected to the computer, launch iTunes then click on the iPhone icon in the left window then click on the app tab on the main window make sure all of the app have a check in the check box, also check all of your other tabs then re-sync.

i have old ipod touch which has software version 1.1.5 i would like to know which version i can update in that and ipod and how
You probably have a 1G ipod. To get the latest iOS for that mode go to:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
It is a paid update. You may have to use a different browser to get the sublink to work correctly.
Go here to identify your iPod:

The 2G can go to 4.2.1. -

I have a Airport Time Capsule 2T, I would like to know if it is possible to backup all my apple divides (iMac, iPhone and iPad)?
The iMac can back up to the Time Capsule, but iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to either iTunes on your Mac....or....to iCloud.
If the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your Mac, then when the iMac backs up the iOS backups are sent to the Time Capsule as well. So, the iPhone and iPad back up indirectly to the Time Capsule.
The iPhone and iPad cannot back up directly to the Time Capsule.
For more information on iOS backups, see this Apple support document:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support -
When I try to upgrade and install to iOS 5.1, error message prompt "operation stop running". I have tried several time but failed. Also, would like to know why always need to have wifi access in order to upgrade the version of iPad iOS, what is the purpose of 3G then? This is really nonsense using wifi + 3G iPad. need help ! Thanks.
The file is too large to download via 3G. There is a 20MB limit with 3G. The purpose of having 3G is that you have internet access everywhere and do not need to be near a WiFi hotspot or network.
Not every single thing that you do every single minute of the day on the iPad involves downloading files larger than 20MB. You can surf the internet all day long sitting out in a park somewhere with 3G - but not with a WiFi only iPad - unless you use a hotspot with it.
Try turning off your firewall and anti virus software while you try to download the iOS update. -
