Being Told That The Lack Of Upward Compatibility in Mail is NOT a Bug

Animated GiFs, which ran when viewed under Mail in Tiger, will no longer run under Leopard's version of Mail. This is a lack of Upward Compatibility and should be viewed as a bug and not as a Design Change, that will be gotten to when the maintenance load slows down: maybe. This is the wrong way to view systems maintenance. This is what I was told by the Apple Support Center. The lack of Gif execution will not be treated as a bug, but rather as a Design Change. I attempted to report this weeks ago, only to find my original Case # is now magically gone and there no record of this problem.

After Googling a little, I'm not 100% convinced this worked in Tiger either. Here's a post about it along with it's reply:

I also just sent myself one that I found on images.google.com and it does the exact same thing. Preview doesn't show it as animated either, but it does show the other frames in the sidebar.
I also composed a simple HTML page with the animated gif in it and used Safari's "mail contents of this page" to send it to myself. Interestingly enough, it did show as animated in the compose window, but didn't show at all when I opened the message I received.
You might be able to accomplish it by using a data: URI [1], but that seems like it might be more work than it's worth (unless it's the same image in a signature or something).

I can no longer sync my touch with my computer. I'm being told that "the sync server failed to sync the iPod."

Are you sure that these times are still selected to sync in iTunes?
When you connect your iPad to your PC and with iTunes running, select your iPad under the devices button in the upper right corner of the iTunes window. Then click on the Movies tab and make sure that the movies are selected (checked) to sync. Check the playlists in the Music tab as well.

What can I do when I'm trying to reinstall iTunes and I'm being told that the old bonjour file can't be removed eventhough I managed to remove the bonjour folder?

Ok - I'm using MS Vista. I wanted to update iTunes for a long time but it always failed because it said something about missing access to the Network where Bonjour is stored. I figured that I wanted to solve this now once and for all by reinstalling the current version of iTunes. This didn't work, because I was being told that the old version of Bonjour could not be removed. Therefore I tried to remove Bonjour and after a long quest I found a way to (seemingly) remove it. There's no more Bonjour folder in my Programm Files. Anyway - I tried to install iTunes again and it didn't work. It told me that there was still the old Bonjour that could not be removed.
I'm at my witts end. I'd really like to use iTunes, especially since I also own an iPhone.
I'm thankful for your replies and send you many greetings from Switzerland!

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Hello! I am attempting to register a product, my iPad, to my adobe products with its serial number and I am being told that the serial number is invalid. I am certain that the serial number is correct, and am unsure how to proceed.

apart from the fact there's no way I could have answered your question confidently, I was also not able to supply my non-answer within your very tight time constraints.
what happened? how'd you get on?

Well you can't fix it without entering a credit card now - or without creating a new Apple ID. If you did not want to use a credit card with your Apple ID, there is a very specific way that you have to create the account. If you don't or didn't follow those steps exactly, you have no choice now but to enter a credit card - or create a new Apple ID without the credit card.
If you create a new Apple ID, you will also need another email address since you have already associated your current email address to the ID that needs a credit card. You also have to sign out of your ID in Settings>iTunes and App Stores before you can create anothe Apple ID.

Thanks....

Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords. Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up. That will give you the ID no. and password.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

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.

I have an old Airport Extreme that I want to password protect. I being told that Airport Utility 5.6 is needed to manage the base station. When I download it and try to install that utility I told that it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4

The odds are that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which will only work with Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.
Since your post indicates that you are using Lion 10.7.4, you need the correct utility for Lion. The link is below:
