Can I purchase a family pack for the the system or do I have to buy a copy for every computer?
I have multiple macs. Do I have to buy an individual copy of the new Lion OS for each one? We usually buy the family pack. But I didnʻt see any option at the app store.
No Family Pack any more. You buy it once and then you can install on as many computers as you "own or control" meaning however many are registered on the App Store under the same Apple user ID. But unless you save a copy of the installer before you first run it, you will have to download it again each time for each additional computer, becasue it is erased after you use it (unless you move it out of your Applications folder first). What do you mean by "multiple"? I have a total of 3 so I put a copy of the installer on a USB drive and also burned a copy to a DVD. Instuctions are in a number of threads here, so do a forum search.

Will I have to purchase a family pack for PB & G5 workstation use?
Will Apple let you use one version of iWork on both computers, that being a PB G4 & a G5 worskstation both or will I need to purchase a family pack of users?
Thanks in advance.

How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?
Several times in the last year, I've gotten a message that Time Machine needs to completely redo my backup. Using the wireless connection, this takes almost two days. Is there a way to do the backup with ethernet and then switch back to wireless? Thanks.May I know what is needed to make sure the MacBook is able to see Time Capsule on ethernet?
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire gateway to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
If AirPort Utility cannot "see" the Time Capsule now, you will need to perform a "hard reset" by holding in the reset button for 7-8 seconds or so and then reconfigure the Time Capsule. You can use the same Time Capsule name and password, etc. as before.
Configure the Time Capsule to "Create a wireless network" and select the Bridge Mode option when it appears during the setup using AirPort Utility.
Once the Time Capsule is configured, restart the entire network again. Power down everything, start the 2Wire first and then start each other device after that one at a time about a minute apart.
Now you can connect your Mac directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the backup using another Ethernet cable. In general, about 20-25 GB per hour will transfer.
The Time Capsule will broadcast a much faster wireless network than the 2Wire can provide, so you might want to leave the setup "as is" for awhile after the first backup is complete. If you decide to use the Time Capsule as your main wireless access point, you would want to turn the wireless off on the 2Wire since two wireless networks in close proximity can create interference problems.
Or, if you want to use the wireless on the 2Wire, you could turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule. Then backups will occur over the 2Wire wireless, or over Ethernet.
I don't really recommend the "Join a wireless network" setting on the Time Capsule for most users, but you could go back to that setup as well if you want after the first backup is complete. -
Can I purchase & install "Pages" on one of my I-Macs and then have access to "Pages" on another I-Mac I own wothout purchasing it again?
If you purchase using the Mac App Store application on your Mac, you can also install the app on any other capable Mac you own and use with the same Apple ID User Account. Just log into the Mac App Store from the second Mac and Download/Install.

- Can I swap the use of music Apps between my iPad & iPhone?
- Do I have to buy separate applications for my iPad & iPhone?Not sure what you mean. The iPad and iPhone both come with a built-in Music app and you can sync and have your content on both of them.
If you've bought a third-party music app then you can also have that on both devices. -
I traded my iphone in and now have a new one (iPhone 5) with the same SIM. Since, I have had some iMessages meant for someone else and some strange things happening on my phone (applications opening by themselves, calls disappearing from log). Any ideas?
The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

I lost my remote to the Apple TV. Do I have to buy one or can I operate it without one. Ps I hate the remote operation......
If home sharing is setup and you have an IOS device that is on the same network you can download the remote app. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a new remote.

I have 2 apps that have been waiting to update for a week. I don't really care about the update, I would just like to use them, but the are stuck waiting. I have tried powering down, syncing with my computer...all fails. Any ideas?
At this point you have no choice but to update the or delete them and reinstall them since you wont be able to use them until they update - or come out of the "waiting" loop.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again. -
Have conflicting views from apple Specialits; I'm ready to buy my 1st Mac. However, I work with a PC user with MS Publisher files a lot. Can Apple PAGES open .pub files, edit and resave them? OR, do I have to buy Publisher software for Macs? if yes to buy, any recommendations?
If you want to switch from PC to Apple I recommend a programm like Parallels.
It has a tool (believe its called transporter) which runs on your current PC and creates a file (big) which is a "virual machine". It is a 1:1 copy of your PC which will run under parallels on your iMac.
You will be running your "old" PC as it was under MAC OS X while you run MAC applikations etc at the same time.
This is how I made the transition to Apple. -

I have found a person who has a driver software to connect Labview with a general PCI card. But he says that i need to download a freeware software from NI website to configure the PCI card. But you have mentioned that freeware is for GPIB boards. Is it correct ?? Is there any other way out ??
I would ask the person who told you about the freeware software to help you find exactly where it is. I am not aware of any freeware software for configuring motion PCI cards but maybe the person you know might be able to help you locate it.

So I downloaded the wrong Airplane Mode program for my operating system and I now have AppleScript Error message. It will not allow me to quit the program. Also, once that happens how do I remove the program from the computer?
What Airplane Mode program? To stop a running program launch Activity Monitor (in utilities folder) and quit the program from there. To remove the program drag it to the trash or better use the uninstaller that should have come with it.
