Yes. You'll need to download it from a Mac and be logged into the Mac App Store with your Apple ID.

Can I download Yosemite onto a thumb drive and install it on snow leopard later

can I download Yosemite onto a thumb drive and install it on snow leopard later

Yes.
Create a bootable installer for OS X Mavericks or Yosemite - Apple Support
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following command line in its entirety into the Terminal window.
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite\ Developer\ Preview.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite\ Developer\ Preview.app --nointeraction
Press RETURN, enter admin password (will not echo to the window) then press RETURN again.
You need to have the installer in your Applications folder or change the paths in the above command line.

Can I backup my iTune library to an external drive and reinstall on a new computer? To use disks I need 29 to do this.

Hi Niel. Can you be move specific for those of us not tech savy? 1 - Can you provide steps to back up the library? 2 - How do you organize the library? 3 - When you move the entire iTunes folder, does it include iTunes paid for music along with downloaded music from CDs? Thanks

Can I download CS 6 with my laptop and install in my desktop?

Hi,
Well I don't have internet hook up to my desktop, it's only used to fix and edit stuff so I don't want internet on it to slow it down. I was wondering if there is anyway I can use my laptop to download the file and then transfer it using a hardrive or something to transfer it and install it in my desktop? One more question, how many computer am I limited to for installing the program?

You can download the installer on one computer, put it on an external hard drive or very large usb stick and bring it to another computer for installing.
You can install the program on an unlimited number of computers. However, depending upon the license you may be limited to one or two activations. The standard commercial and educational versions of CS6 allow for two installations. I think the Student and Teacher version allows for one activation, but you can check the website if you are intending to purchase the Student and Teacher version.

I lost Internet Explorer on my new computer. I tried to download firefox to a flash drive and install it on the other computer ,but it says something is missing. I really need help.

Please see question

Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either.

Can i remove my old time capsule drive and use it in my computer?, Can i remove my old time capsule drive and use it in my computer?

I have an old time capsule and i just bought the new AC one, can i use it as an internal hard drive if i have a usb to sata adapter and a

If you are opening a computer to replace an internal hard disk.. buy a new one. Seriously hard disks do not cost that much... especially if the computer is a Mac.. the cost and effort to open the computer demands that you use the best drive you can find.. and that is NOT a TC drive.
For instance if you are wanting a new drive in a Mac Mini.. it is 2.5" not 3.5" anyway.. but you can buy 500GB or 750GB hybrid drives.. for a few dollars more.. and they are much better than slow green drives Apple use in the TC.
Even for a desktop computer.. use SSD and a hybrid drive.. never bother with the cost of the drive .. it is small part of what it will cost you if not in money at least in time.
For a low end PC that is for "Test" use ok.. but second hand drives will still be the worst possible.. and Apple used the cheapest and slowest drives around.. ie using sata1 when WD was selling sata2 green drives for years.

How can I load mavericks on a new drive, and then re-load all my software on that drive?

My operating drive has bad sectors. Bought a new one to load on Mavericks and re-load all my software. How can I do this?

If your Pro came with install CD's or DVD's, you would use them to install the OS that came with the computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks. If Snow Leopard came with your Pro, as it says in your profile, that should work.
If your Pro did not originally come with installer discs, then you would need an OSX recovery disk assistant
OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0 , or an internet connection, to do internet recovery OS X: About OS X Recovery
Another option is a Mavericks installer disk, which you can make yourself with DiskMaker X
Once you get the Mavericks installer downloaded, but before you install it, make an installer with DiskMakerX so you'll have it for the next time you need it. The installer deletes itself after you do the install.

Where can I download Mavericks?

Hi guys,
Well, lately I have been thinking in upgrading my MacBook Pro mid 2009. I was trying to decide between Mt. Lion and Mavericks, do not know which are the major differences between these two. But the later is free .
I have already tried the AppStore and obviously did not find it there as Yosemite is the new thing, I also tried the Up-to-Date Program but it says they have nothing for my system.
I don't want Yosemite mainly because I have read so many reviews about how bad it is and that still has many bugs.Plus the performance is slower than the other OS, and considering that I do not have a new mac I believe Mavericks would do the job for me.
I use this mac as my main laptop which is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and would like to download Mavericks and create a new partition for Mavericks and used for programming as SL does't convince me for that purpose. I use CodeBlocks because Eclipse wouldn't get installed as it needs Mt. Lion.
So, is there any way I can still download Mavericks?
Is an mid 2009 MBP running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with 8 gb of RAM and a solid state drive.
In advance, thank you for your help.

Unless you downloaded the full Mavericks installer before Yosemite came out, you can't get it. If you did, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID you used and click on the Purchases tab.

Can't download Mavericks at App Store

I can't download Mavericks at App Store: it says that it requires at least 2GB of memory but I still have 144GB free in my Mac.

The 144GB free is space on your hard drive.
The 2GB minimum memory requirement refers to RAM : If you clcik the Apple menu at top left of your screen, then choose About This Mac : you should see how much memory (RAM) is installed.
See http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Apple_Upgrade_Guide/Model_ID_iMac to find out how much memory can be installed on your model.

OR WHAT CAN I DO TO RESTORE MY COMPUTER THERE IS A LOT INFORMATION THERE WHY MAVERICKS IS TROUBLESHOOTING.

Don't post in all caps. Besides being more difficult to read it's tantamount to shouting and is considered rude in forums. What problems are you having? What model Mac do you have, how much RAM and free space on the boot drive?
Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and try the following in order as needed:
1 - select Disk Utility and repair both the disk and disk permissions. Reboot normally.
2 - reinstall the Mavericks system.

Have you tried running dosfsck on the device? Of course, be sure that you unmount the usb drive and verify the dev file of the relevant partition.
Something like:
dosfsck /dev/sdb1 <----replace with correct dev file!!
to see what the problem is and then
dosfsck -a /dev/sdb1
Of course, I would strongly encourage you to backup all data on the drive first.

Can I download onto a usb flash drive instead of a IPod

Can I download onto a usb flash drive instead of a ipod?

Yes, but it does not work the same way. Insert the USB flash drive into the computer and open it so it looks like a folder. In iTunes, highlight the songs you want, and drag them over to the folder.
If you usually run iTunes in full screen mode, make it smaller so you can do the drag.
