I have this iMac late 2006 and I want to install the Mac OS X Lion

Hello,
I want to install Mac os X lion, (not mountain lion) on my iMac Late 2006 , but it is no longer available in the mac app store. How can I do to install the Mac OS X Lion on my computer?
The thing is that i was hoping the the mountain lion was compatible with my iMac, so is there a way i can still get the Mac OS X lion?

Apple for some dumb reason removed it from the App store, so you now have to call them and ask for it. I also have a Late 2006 Mac Pro and luckily I took the plung awhile ago and bought it from the App store. Since they cut off so many machines still being used they should have left Lion in the store. Any 2006-2007 Mac Pro and any other Mac that has a video card that doesn't have 64b drivers cannot go to Mountain Lion.

If your computer originally came with an internal optical drive, you must use that to install Windows. Fix your internal optical drive. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

I have bought a new imac late 2012 and I want to wipe clean my 2008 mac and install Mountain Lion on the old computer for my kids to have.
What do I need to do?

Boot your Mac from the System Install DVD that came with it, and erase the HD using Disk Utility. Then, reinstall the OS from the disc. Give the disc to your kids since it must always accompany the Mac it came with.
After the OS installation is complete and the Mac restarts to begin its new owner setup procedure, just shut down the Mac. Your kids can take it from there.
If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store, you cannot transfer it. The Apple ID you used to purchase it is required to maintain and / or reinstall the OS. Unless you want to supply your own Apple ID to your children for their use, they must purchase their own copy of Mountain Lion using their own Apple ID.
If they do not already have an Apple ID and you want them to have Mountain Lion, you will need to create one on their behalf. This does not change the above procedure - just give them the Apple ID and password you create in addition to the Mac and its discs.

I just bought a new IMAC and i want to install the Office Mac 2011, but it doesn´t have a CD unit. How can I do it?

I just bought a new IMAC and I want to install the Office Mac 2011, but it doesn´t have a CD unit. How can I do it?

Howard has the easiest answer. Or at least, cheapest, since you don't need to purchase an external CD/DVD drive.
The "demo" software from Microsoft's site is exactly the same as what's on the DVD. Install that and activate it with the key in your software box.
From Microsoft's site:
How do I install Office for Mac 2011 if my Mac doesn't have a DVD drive?
There are two options for installing Office for Mac if your Mac doesn't have a DVD drive.
Option 1: Convert your Office for Mac 2011 trial. To convert a trial version, you must have a valid product key. The product key will convert your trial into a fully licensed version of Office for Mac.
1. Locate the 25-character product key in your product package or confirmation email.
2. Open any Office for Mac application, like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
3. On the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click Enter your Product Key.
4. Enter your product key and complete the installation instructions.
Option 2: If you have not previously installed the trial version, you can download Office for Mac from the Office for Mac website. To download, install, and activate the software you must have a valid Office 2011 product key.
1. Locate your 25-character product key found in your product package or confirmation email.
2. Go to www.officeformac.com/download
3. Click Get Started to start the download process.
4. When prompted, enter your 25-character product key and select your product language.
5. When prompted, sign in with your Windows Live ID or sign up and create a new Windows Live ID account.
6. After you enter your Windows Live ID, you will see a link to download the software. (You will also receive a confirmation email with a link to your My Account page if you prefer to wait and download your software at a later time.)
7. Click Download Now to start the download.
8. Save the file to your desktop. Do not change the file name.
9. When the download is complete, double-click the .dmg file icon on your desktop. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
10. Follow the instructions in the installer screens to complete your installation.

I have a 2007 MacBook and I want to install the latest possible version of OS X. What version is that?

Like I said, I have a mid-2007 MacBook (note that it is NOT a MacBook Pro) and I want to install the latest possible version of OS X on it. I would like to know what the latest version that it can handle is. I know that the latest version of OS X is Mavericks, but I'm pretty sure that won't work on it, so will Lion or Snow Leopard?

For the specs it necessary 20-inch http://support.apple.com/kb/SP28
For audio it says, "Built-in stereo speakers, built-in microphone, optical digital audio output/headphone out, optical digital audio input/audio line in"
How do i fix the sound?"

Hi Keith2war,
Follow the suggestions listed below for a possible fix:
Method 1: Let’s run the “Audio Troubleshooter” from the following article and check if it helps.
Open the Playing Audio troubleshooter

Method 2: I would suggest you to follow the steps listed in the Microsoft help articles mentioned below to fix the issue:

"The troubleshooting audio playback did not help, it says it cannot find any problems. Windows 7 says I have a "High Definition Audio Device" sound card with no question mark. When I right click on the sound card and click properties under the general tab device status says "This device is working properly." This computer is an all-in-one imac therefore it has built in speakers however i tried pluging in speakers and they make almost no sound. In addition when I have them plug in when runnning mac snow leopard it make an ok amount of sound just not as much as the computers built in speakers. When I have them plug in when running wwindows 7 their volumn is max out with almost no sound. Windows 7 says I have a "High Definition Audio Device" sound card but i was wondering if its mistaken and the sound card has a different name but this is speculation. The windows 7 thinks the sound driver/card has the most up to date software. "

This is a common problem when installing Windows on a Mac.
AFAIA, you'll need to i nstall W7 specific audio drivers on the W7 partition.
However you may be better asking this question on an Apple forum.
Cheers,
jerry"
Also while you are at trying to fine a answer, this mac has a camera and other things, how do i test everything to see if they work on both sides.

I tried searching through the other questions here is a question if answer well help answer the first?
How do I figure out what is my sound driver is called? I think Windows calls it High Definition Audio Device however something about the windows is mistaken because I have no sound. But when on the mac side I do not know where to look either. If I can find out what the sound driver is called then I can fined a update download. The other similar questions that were answered suggested that the sound driver needed updated.

I have an iMac later 2006 with Snow Leopard, is there an expiration date to upgrade to Lion?

is it better to buy the full retail disc for Lion or get the one on apple for $19.99 n is there an Expiration date? Thanks.

No, but your oldish iMac may not be able to run Lion.
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

Energy Saver is very problematic with non-Apple USB devices. Which means when you close the lid to your machine, those devices will not necessarily appear until you next restart the computer.
Secondly, Windows XP is not secure anymore, unless you pay Microsoft a special licensing fee. To avoid that, upgrade to at leats Windows Vista:
