I probably dont want to go to Mountain Lion either because I've heard that it will slow down my computer, So, Lion 10.7 will be the perfect OS X for me.
I have ne newest release of Snow Leopard installed and works great.
Thank you ALL for your help.

you will be ok updating to the new software but there will be some trade off. i have 3 macbooks 2006 that are all running the latest versions.
some of the trade off are
1-2 less of battery life
slow wake ups from sleep
slower start up time about 30-40 seconds longer then what you have now
the operating system will use high % of your processer while idealing
these are not the things you want to hear about a new os compared to the old one but this is how it is even with a new macbook pro. but it's not the end of the world. just make sure you have at least more then 2GB of ram and have a good harddrive and you will be ok.

When insert my lexar USB flash drive I get the message that the disk was not readable by this computer. It has worked previous to this and I do not want to lose the data by reformatting the drive. How can I reformat this drive and not lose my data?

You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.
Have you tried a different USB port?
Only other option, back it up on a different computer.

I want to update the OS of the Macbook Pro I bought today to Lion, but at "purchase date" I can only choose 2011. Now what?

I want to update the OS of the Macbook Pro I bought today to Lion, but at "purchase date" I can only choose 2011. Now what?

Sorry but I don't completely understand your question or what you are trying to do.
If you purchase a new MBP Today, Jan 3 2012, it should already have OS X Lion 10.7.x installed on it.
Only some left over early 2011 model that stores may have had sitting around would of come with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Or even if you bought a Reburbished model from Apple it would of still came from them with Lion.
So my questions are.
1) Did you buy this new from a authorized Apple store or reseller?
2) If not new was it purchased from an authorized Apple store or reseller?
3) To my knowledge when trying to do updates to the OS there is no check of purchase date. So what exactly are you doing that asks for a purchase date?
If new then just use the Software Updates in the Apple Logo menu item.
If not new and it originally came with Snow Leopard or Leopard you will have to buy OS X Lion at the Online Apple Store. If that is the case then nyou need to put in the original date the unit was purchased NEW and or manufactured. That way the Online Apple Store can tell if Lion will function on that model properly.

I have been noticing that when using the computer the mouse keeps going in places where I really do not want and just now select the sentence without I have done anything. Sometimes goes to places like bookmark or open tabs in website when I am reading a page.
Also I have noticed opened windows that I have not opened.
I have verified the sharing folder and also the remote access but it not let me turn it off.
Also I have add a password to my computer and even using the same one it looks like is not working.
The I photo stopped working, Mac Mail does not let me add rules (this is from one day to the other)
The computer is mine, the internet I use is payed by me with a password. I did not give permission to anyone to use my computer or share my files.
In system preferences in the sharing folder is showing everyone and staff.
My computer is private I do not own a company and I do not have a network set up in my house.
I had my photos removed from my computer and even after trying to reinstall I photo and fix the Mac Mail is not working.
I am receiving emails saying that I have sent emails to people that I do not know and including in a time where I am working and not using the computer.
Any suggestions in how to fix this issue?
I really appreciate.

With the multitude of issues you have I would take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them sort it out. Then I would sign up for Apple camp or one on one.

I will like to free download that are in my account beacause It takes to long to download and I do not want them any more. How I delete them. Thanks

Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.

No you won't. You can try, but your order will be canceled.
But, yes, the phone is unlocked. But again, you won't be ordering one.

Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
Have your friend the provided the phone contact them. Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked.

If my music is on the cloud how do listen to it with no wi fi or network? I will be taking a plane and not have access to wi fi. Please help?

If my music is on the cloud how would I listen to it with no wi fi or network? I will be traveling by plane and then I will have no access to wi fi at my destination. Please help.

I cloud is not a streaming service. It is simply a storage locker. So before you leave, download the music you are going to want to listen to onto your pad.

Disk Images do not mount - Update to Lion on New MacBook Pro

Hi,
Just got my new MacBook Pro 2011 13 inch higher spec with 750GB hard drive today. Updated immediately to OS X lion via the up to date programme for free. Am in the process of restoring my applications that I had on my old computer that are on my external hard drive, however the .dmg disk images will not load properly. They go through the regular process of verifying then mounting the disk image, then the image appears for a split second on my desktop before disappearing again.
This happens even if i copy the disk image off of my external hard drive to my macintosh HD and try to mount from there.
This is really really scaring me as if I can't load all my old applications my new computer is absolutely useless. Please please could someone tell me what is going on!?!?!??!?!
Many thanks in advance,
Sam

Woke up this morning and tried again and now they all mount fine... Don't know how this happened but the only things I have done differently are trying to mount a dmg that was on my old computer over the network, and it mounted fine, then mounted other dmgs that were previously not working, and they are all fine too. I'm halfway through downloading software updates but all its done so far is download updates for iweb and itunes, and they haven't started running yet anyway.
With love from,

I am having issue updating Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro.

I really am having issues updateing. The updates are iPhoto, Macbook Pro firmware, and Thunderbolt update. When ever i download and install them and then restart they just appear again that i need to redownload them

Exactly as John Galt stated there is no support for Mountain Lion, being pre-release software. I personally run Mountain Lion on a virtual machine through VMware Fusion 4.

What do I do if I want to update an application on my MacBook Pro but I cannot remember the Apple ID I used to purchase it?

I do not wish to purchase the updated version of the application . What do I do?

Try the Apple ID associated with your Mac.
Open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Passwords

My ipod front camera goes blurry when i flip it from back camera to front camera! and when I go onto vine it doesnt even have the camera flipping icon!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Lion freeze on MacBook Pro 2010

Good morning,
I have had a few freezes since I upgraded my 2010 MacBook Pro (15" Core i5) last Friday. I think it might be related to the graphic card switch but I'm not sure. A few freezes occured while browsing the internet with chrome and I have had two yesterday evening while using iPhoto.
Everytime, the machine was getting really hot during the freeze and I had to hard reboot manually by holding the power button for a few seconds.
Is anybody else having some issues with their 2010 MBP?

Hi guys,
Thanks for your feedback, at least I'm not the only one. I've deactivated the automatic switch of graphic cards (using gfx cardstatus, handy little app by the way) and I didn't get any freeze since.
Another thing, the ambient light sensor doesn't seem to work either. Not a big issue for me but still this is another issue...
I guess we'll have to wait for a patch and see!
Appart from that I have read a lot of complaints concerning CPU load or battery life. Everything is normal on my side, I even got better battery life since I'm under Lion.

HT201364 Hello. How update my 10.6.8 MacBook Pro to a 10.7 or 10.8 at least? Thanks for your time.

Sorry, I am in a hurry to update my 10.6.8 MacBook Pro to 10.7 or 10.8 to use job app that only works in these environments.
I have been searching for these apps, but I only can find Mavericks and my mac is not compatible.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can guide me, if it is possible.
Best

Since your computer's incompatible with Mavericks, it's also incompatible with Mountain Lion. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as Microsoft Office 2004.
