Can I cancel the maverick download and get it free at a later date

I already started the Maverick download. Can I cancel this and get this OSX Update later for free? If so how do I do this.

You may see about learning how to save the Mavericks installer to a USB flash drive for later installation, then do a backup (copy/clone) of your older system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive, and test it as bootable before committing the upgrade of the Mac to a later OS X system. A self-powered HDD and use a utility such as carbon copy cloner, is a good path; separate from any timemachine time capsule method.
And be sure the older Mac has adequate hardware upgrades to actually work as well as possible with Mavericks, should you choose to run it on an older fairly early model MacBook. Some users with investment in older software hold back on an upgrade past Snow Leopard due to the lack of support in later OS X versions for the vintage powerPC applications that worked in Leopard/Snow Leopard due to the inclusion of Rosetta.
Relatively current models from the past build year or two should have little trouble upgrading OS X, some would still do best with a good RAM upgrade; and if there is plenty of free space on the hard disk drive. And make a complete backup of your older system on a device outside of the Mac and one that will not be affected by an upgrade to the Mac's running OS X. A time-machine drive is not ideal in this instance, since it can't boot the Mac and would not contain all the previous OS X version.
A MacBook from 2008 is rather early compared to a recent build series MB or later MB/Pro, Air, etc. Double check RAM specs and get a quality set of RAM chips from a reputable reseller. Guides from http://iFixit.com can help install them, & http://mactracker.ca can help determine the MB configuration specs, upgrades, etc.
An 'identify by serial number' site can help find build details on your Mac:

Hopefully this helps at some point.
Good luck & happy computing!

I downloaded a movie twice. How can I cancel the other one and get a refund?

If you are speaking of an iTunes purchase, you will need to contact iTunes Customer Service and explain the situation. Their written policy is kinda cold, in that they say they don't issue refunds for erroneous purchases, but I have found them to be a bit more understanding and helpful than that.
Start by calling Apple at 1-800-275-2273 (if in the US) and ask to be connected to iTunes Customer Service.

How can I cancel a duplicated subscription and get...

Somehow I seem to have duplicated subscription for the same service. How can I cancel the duplicate and get a refund

Hi, Fell_Walker,
You should be able to see the duplicate subscription in your account dashboard, where we sign on to the Skype website to manage payment methods and so on. There, you can cancel the duplicate subscription and then request a refund by contacting Skype Customer Service.
Please do not be discouraged if you can not reach Skype Customer Service on yoru first attempt. Skype is aware of continuing website problems. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Temporarily enabling scripts and pop-up windows may help get you through more quickly.
Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.
Regards,
Elaine

I recently downloaded a program and have now lost Firefox's "awesome bar" which has been replaced by the program's own search bar. How can I restore the "awesome bar" and get rid of the other search bar?

I recently downloaded Bearshare.com which then overrode my Firefox "awesome bar". Now when I enter a search item in the search box at the upper right of my screen, I'm automatically shunted to this new search bar where I have to re-enter my search item and click return before it will begin a search. Previously, the Firefox "awesome bar" opened automatically together with my home page and I had the choice of searching using it or the default search box at the upper right of my screen. I 'uninstalled' Bearshare but it now continues to come up when I search using the right hand top search box , forcing me to use it instead of the search box at the upper right of my screen. How do I get rid of it completely so that only the "awesome bar" appears as an extra tab when I open Firefox browser?

First, some clarification:
* The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
* The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

I pre-ordered an album, but then bought it and downloaded it before it was available on iTunes. Is there a way to cancel the pre-order and get my money back?

please help me!

Probably not; the terms of sale for the iTunes Store say that all sales are final. But you can contact the iTunes Store and ask.

How can I cancel the instruments download?

I used the "Restore Sound Library" function from Garageband 10.0.3's menu. A split-second before clicking the "Download" button, I realized that the files were over 5 GB. I do not have this much room on my computer! (Room on my hard drive has been a recurring issue and I have already gone through everything I can get rid of... in case someone wanted to suggest that.)
Now there is no way to cancel the download. The download window even states that if I quit Garageband the download will resume when I re-open it. I can't quit Garageband forever because I am using it! I have already tried searching for answers to this issue, and found none.
Is there a way to force this download to cancel? I don't want to have to deal with the slowness of a full hard drive. If not, where do these extra instruments download to (so I can delete them once the download is complete)?
Thank you!

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 (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.
Regards.

I'm getting a new iPod touch 4G to replace my old 1st gen. pod. How do I get iTunes to get rid of my old iPod and recognize the new iPod and can I sych the new pod and get all of the content on it from my old pod?

Hi-
Oops. looks like I hasked the whole question in the headline, but... How does this work? When I connect my new pod to iTunes how do I get iTunes to recognize the new pod, disregard the old pod and transfer my content to my new pod? Also, I have a G5 that runs 10.4.11 OS. Will the new pod synch to this computer running this old software yet. Apparently, I have to "climb the mountain" to find a copy of Leopard for G5 and I apparently cannot run Snow Leopard. What are the needs or restrictions for synching a 4th Gen iPod touch?
Thanks-
DMitz

The 4G iPod needs at least OSX 10.5.8 on a Mac. You are right that the G5 can't use OSX 10.6 or later. Apple will sell you a 10.5.8 disk but you have to call them since it is not listed in their on-line store. Price is $129.
For 4G specs:
System requirements
USB 2.0
iTunes 10.1 or later6
Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.

How can I fix the error image and get the regular image to load?

Ever since the recent big update for Firefox I've been getting some sort of error for loading certain images.
Here: http://tinypic.com/r/103bf3l/8 I have put one of those sites that give that error
--The original image that is supposed to show is also available in that image
Certain sites give a different size of that error image, but it looks the most like an error triangle
I've already tried the troubleshoot of not loading images and none of the options worked
If someone has this problem or knows how to fix it, it would be a great help

Solution found:
The addon "Stylish" with the theme "Google two themes" interfered with the image loading of the sites. Disabling the theme was the solution.

Downloaded mavericks for one mac can i use the same download to install on another mac

I have downloaded for 12 hours initial installation on one mac for mavericks, and all installed successfully. Rather than download again for another mac, can I use the same download and copy on to the other mac..and if yes, where will I find it?

All you need to do is go to System Preferences > App Store and uncheck the automatic install of updates box, then download the Mavericks installer, and copy to a flash drive. You will need a flash drive of 8 G B or more since the installer is around 5.3 GB. The installer will be in Finder > Applications. You can then copy that flash drive installer to the Applications folders in all the Macs you have that are capable of running Mavericks, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
When the installer runs, the last step in the installtion is for the installer to erase itself. So makng a copy before the installer runs is essential if you want to avoid redownloading.
Installing from the same installer does not cause problems for Macs on the same network.
