Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - where is the downloads folder in the Window tab that is at the top of the page in Safari? I used this a lot and really miss it!

I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in? I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer. I really miss this capability!

Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

I have a new mac mini with mt lion where is the os on this computer. It came with Mt Lion on it

You have a couple of options for booting OS X.
One is to use the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to copy the Mountain Lion Recovery HD to a USB thumb drive. A 4GB thumb drive is sufficient as the Disk Assistant only needs 1GB.
A second option would be to use a cloning software like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your existing Macintosh HD to an external USB drive. This would give you an external bootable copy of what you have now.

Built my first PC, won't get past the first screen :(

Took me 12 hours to do my first build (I know, took too long) and I was so happy at first once everything was done but that didn't last long unfortunately. :( I'm stuck at the first screen where it lists my PC components and it tells me to either press DEL or F11. Nothing works. It's as if my keyboard is not being recognized... which it does because it says "1 KBDs, 1 MICE etc." in that same screen.
Parts are:
* MSI Computer Corp. Motherboard North Bridge AMD 970 & South Bridge AMD SB950 Chipset ATX DDR3 800 AMD AM3+ Motherboards (970A-G46)
* AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition
* PNY 8GB Kit (2 x 4GB) 8 Dual Channel Kit DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM MD8192KD3-1866-X9
* ASUS HD7790-DC2OC-1GD5 Radeon HD7790 1GB GDDR5 128-bit, DVI-I/DVI-D/ HDMI/DP PCI-Express 3.0 CrossFire ready Graphic Card OC-selected 1075MHz core
* WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX
Every single one of these parts is listed in that first screen where I'm stuck at so that means everything is working, right (i.e., not dead on arrival or I didn't damage anything)? I did a Google search and this guy here (can't post links so the URL is not formatted) ->overclock.net/t/1426196/all-new-custom-pc-wont-get-past-the-bios-setup-screen<- had the same problem as I was and he pretty much has the same parts as me and he fixed the problem by using a pair of RAM with a lower voltage.
On MSI's page, it says there that the motherboard that I'm using supports 1.5V of RAM and I just checked the manufacturer's page for the RAM that I'm using and my RAM is listed as using 1.65V... could this really be the problem? Should I go ahead and get new RAM or is there maybe something else?
I also removed the CMOS battery for 1 hour and then moved the jumper to positions 2 and 3 to short the pins and I still can't get past the first screen. I'm going to try using just one stick of RAM next and should I insert it in DIMM1 or DIMM2?
Thanks in advance!

Get a stick of cheap 1.5V RAM and give it a try. Plenty of good quality cheap RAM out there. In this instance my meaning of cheap is "low price" not low quality.
To be honest I would suggest to just go ahead and get some Corsair RAM such as what you see in my signature below. That is one brand that seems to work good in just about any system built using MSI MB whether it be AMD or Intel.
Thanks! I just ordered these - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003N8GVUY/

Another question I forgot to ask is what is the brand and model of your power supply?
I'm using one from an old PC... this one - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121037

I am unable to use my external CD player. I am told that the player is being used by another application, and that is not true. I have quit everything and restarted. I've unplugged the unit. I have a fairly new mac mini 10.8. What can I do?

I am unable to use my external CD player. I have a fairly new mac mini 10.8. I am told that the player is being used by another application, but it's not true. I've forced everything to quit and restarted. I've even unplugged the unit and let it rest. I've turned off and unplugged the mac too. I cannot make a CD. Why?

I misread your message. I thought it said I did not have burn support with the Samsung hardware.
When the CD goes in it says You inserted a bland CD. choose an action from the popup menu or click ignore
open finder
open itunes
open disk utility
make this action the default
eject ignore ok
However, when I am making CDs. I am in itunes. That is where my recordings areI haven't tried to do it from this vantage point.
I don't know how to make a screen shot on a mac.
I go to my playlist and click on the little gear icon at the bottom left and I leave things as they are - preferred speed - maximum. I leave it on audio CD - and then I select BURN.
When I tried this the other day, I could not get it to burn, no matter how hard I tried - everything I could think of, using a different CD, force quitting everything I was not using, restarting the computer, unplugging the CD hardware and plugging it back in after a little while, nothing worked. I got that message that said my player was being used by another application every time I tried to make the CD. This took over an hour. I don't know of another way to make a CD on the mac; I was not using another program or application. Now it seems to be working fine. I am burning another copy of something I gave away.
I wish I knew what caused this. It was a real problem Saturday morning.

Windows Migration Assistant won't download in Win 8.1

Trying to migrate some date from a Dell desktop with Windows 8.1 to an iMac. The app will not even download to the 8.1 box.

Hi.. yep, have seen the video thank you.. the problem is NOT knowing how to use it.. (Have been in computers and using speech recognition, mainly Nuance DS Professional for
ages..)
The problem I have is in LOADING the application… sometimes it will load on the click of the mouse (or touch of the screen on this HP SPECTRE) – be it loaded from the task
bar icon that I set up, from the Windows Speech Recognition command vis the CHARMS or even from the START tiles.. other times it will not!! Must frustrating (will have to buy a new Nuance DNS professional as windows 8.1 is not a platform for DNS Version
10 that I have used for ages – needs !! or maybe go back to WIN&7??)
Couple of things I have noticed that may help others is that the programme may not load if one clicks the icon too quickly.. I find that hovering the mouse over the icon and
waiting until “Windows speech recognition” appears, THEN clicking the icon works at times.. after the small win Speech Recognition mode (grey) icon is closed by pressing the red “close” button then it is hard to get the programme to load again.. then one must
go to Task manager and stop the Speech Recognition programme by clicking on the end task button..
So.. it’s the initial loading and running of the programme that concerns me.. perhaps the bods at MS could look at how memory is allocated to this programme and why when
closing the Speech Recognition programme from the “grey” speech recognition mode button it is subsequently “hard” to reload it again and the programme seemingly seems to still run in Task Manager after this close button has been pressed…?? (But,
I won’t hold my breath)…
Cheers

Migration Assistant won't proceed on the iMac

Got a new iMac, running 10.10.1 and trying to use the migration assistant to move files from a Windows Vista 64bit SP2 system. Both systems connected via 1Gbps ethernet attached to the same switch and both can ping each other and show they're on the same IP network. I've removed all firewall, virus and malware software from the PC and stopped any service that might cause a conflict.
I start the migration assistant on both systems, get to the point where both systems are displaying the same 6 digit number. On the PC the continue button is available to select but on the iMac it's grayed out. If I hit the continue button on the PC it sits on a screen saying ready to transfer, select the files you want on the iMac, but the iMac is still sitting on the same screen with the 6 digit number and continue grayed out. Tried multiple reboots and tries to get it going, no joy. Talked to Apple support, they did a remote desktop to the PC, see what I'm seeing but don't see what might be causing the problem.

HT1338 my old mac cant connect to internet and my migration assistant needs an upgrade is there any way to download to my new mac and install the upgrade on my old one so i can complete the migration process?

I just purchase a new IMac, I am trying to use migration assistant. the problem I am having is my old mac cannot connect to the internet and it needs a software update, can I download the update on my new mac and install it somehow on my old mac?

If it's a free update, search Apple's support site for it and move the dmg as you would any file. If it's a paid upgrade, no; the Mac App Store upgrades, while downloadable, can't be downloaded from a Mac which can't use them.

I have a 4th generation iPod nano 4th and when I turn it on, the screen won't progress passed the main screen with the Apple logo. What should I do?

I have a 4th generation 8GB iPod nano and it will not progress past the blank screen with the white apple logo on it. I have charged it fully and tried to restart it by pressing and holding the menu buttons for 3-7 seconds. The devices screen will turn off and then, after a couple of seconds, the screen with the Apple logo will appear again. This screen will remain lit until the iPod runs out of battery again. I have tried plugging it into my Macbook Pro. I have the newest versions of iTunes software and OS X Mavericks. The computer will not recognize the iPod and the device will not show up in the computers list of devices. I looked up the troubleshooting for the device and found out how to put the device into disk mode. I followed the intructions but the iPod would not go into disk mode. The screen still displayed the Apple logo and would not set into disk mode. I fear that I have run out of options. I have come to this forum in hopes that I can still salvage my device. If there is anything I can do, please loet me know so I can try it. If not, I am affraid I will have to go to an Apple store of authorized retailer and have it repaired or replaced.

Try manually connecting the device to your PC in Disk Mode and then restoring it iTunes.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
Putting iPod devices with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode
If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.

What's the easiest way to transfer files to new mac?

My first mac was a Macbook (purchased in August 2010) and I'm upgrading to the new 13" Macbook Pro with retina display. What is the easiest way to:
1) transfer files to the new laptop
2) delete files off my old macbook to share with a family member--possibly thinking of return to factory settings.
I have a 1TB external hard drive and I use the cloud on all of my devices (also have iPhone and iPad synched to the cloud).

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
1. The best way to transfer files from another computer is by using Migration Assistant > http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html Your new MacBook Pro will ask you to restore from another computer during its initial setup.
2. If you haven't got a lot of apps you installed, you can just create a new user and delete the old one, so you won't have to reinstall Mac OS X.
To do it, open System Preferences > Users and Groups (or Accounts), press the + button and create an admin user. Then, log in this user, go to System Preferences > Users & Groups, and remove the old account

I just bought a jail broken iPhone and then did a factory reset on it. Now it won't get passed the loading screen. Is there anything I can do without the jail-breaking software?

When I bought it it was working just fine. There was no sim in it when I got it. I went into the settings and reset the phone back to factory. The phone rebooted itself and now, when the loading symbol is done loading, it goes away for a second and then is right back. It just keeps rebooting over and over until it's dead.
My computer won't find it and the charger isn't charging it anymore.

Possibly... but per the terms of use of these forums, discussion of jailbroken devices is not permitted.

My iphone won't go pass the battery screen but it says it is plugged in?

When I was on vacation, my iphone stopped charging. I changed cords and outlits, but the phone would only recognize that a cord was there and not charge. I powered off at 60% so when I got home I could back it up if needed. When I got home, however, my phone said the battery was empty. It is currently on the empty battery screen with the charge under it and hasn't changed for the last hour. I've tried a hard reset. Is there any way that I can save my phone or save the data? Or do I just need to get a new phone? And if I get a new phone, will they be able to transfer the data I have on it?

First try a reboot - press and hold the power and home buttons until the Apple icon appears.

Does the first generation Airport Express work on newer Macs and IOS devices?

I would like to know if an older Airport Express(M9470LL/A) will work on:
Macbook Air 2011
iPhone 4
iPod Touch 2nd Gen
iPhone 3Gs

Check again very carefully and make sure that you are downloading the correct AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
You likely downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Mac, which is only for Snow Leopard and Leopard operating systems.....so it will not run on Lion.
