Can I resell or gift my retail copy of Panther?
Once upon a time I bought a copy of Panther to run on my Powerbook, now I am using Tiger. When I was using it, my Panther software was registered to me. Is it legal for me to sell or give that copy to another person to install and use (and possibly register)? If not, why not? (If I can sell my car to another person, why couldn't I sell my software?)
Randall
The OS doesn't really get registered to anyone. The information you supply is user tracking information for Apple. A head count of Apple users and what version of the Apple OS they're using more than anything else.
You don't actually even need to fill any of that out. The user info dialogue is a separate program. You can quit out of it like any other program by pressing Command+Q. The installer will then skip that part. It's handy to fill it out though. When you move up to your next version of OS X, you only need to enter your Apple ID and password and it will fill in the rest of the information for you.

A friend gifted me a copy of The Amazing Spider-man, I redeemed the code, now it tells me I can't download it onto my Ipad (1st Gen) because it does not have a gyroscope. Is there a way for my friend to get his money back, or a way for me to download it?
As a second option I can play on my 1st gen Ipod Touch. Does that have a gyroscope?Contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,
iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store - Apple states all sales are final, but you can always ask nicely. Your friend should have checked the specifications of your ipad before making the gift. -
Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?
No. 10.6.3 was the last retail release of Snow Leopard. Download the 10.6.8 Combo updater and put it on a flash drive to make it easier to install the largest part of the update.
Also, don't push the same disk image of SL to your Macs unless they are exactly the same model as it was originally installed on. The wrong hardware drivers will otherwise be in use. -
Retail Copy of Acrobat XI Standard can't be installed! Help!
I purchased a retail copy of Acrobat XI Standard, without realizing my all-in-one 20" tablet/desktop pc didn't have a disk drive. Now I need to be able to download a copy, but since i got it at the local computer store, and not online at Adobe.com, I dont have any history in my adobe account, under "my order history," that would alow me to click on the link to download. I did manage to get the copy registered to my account, but i need to get a downloadable copy, somehow. can anyone help me?

"owners of CS2 or earlier, should download the non-activation version of CS2 from that link" the link though says, "You can use the serial numbers provided as a part of the download only if you legitimately purchased CS2, CS2 applications, Acrobat 7, or Audition 3." It says CS2 but not CS, does that mean i couldn't use that link?
CS owners are happily downloading and using CS2 via that link.
Adobe has made no other option possible for owners of "activation required" versions earlier than CS2 so CS2 is your only option regardless of the wording at the link..
Does that in a sense mean no matter what CS copy you buy it will eventually be shut down and your access to it will be cut off even if you had bought it when it was still working?
No-one knows the future of deactivation of existing products. In the history of activation, Adobe has only ever shut down an activation server once (CS2) and made an alternative possible for owners of that version.
Activation is Adobe's inherently flawed attempt to curb casual piracy. It was always going to fail eventually. It only ever hurts legitimate owners of the software. The Cloud is Adobe's next gen anti-piracy measure.
I'm extremely repulsed by the idea of having to pay a monthly fee for CC and would rather pay a flat (but realistic) price for the CS, but will go to photoshop CC if there is no other choice because an online workshop classes program i'm looking to sign up for requires either photoshop CS or CC (but strongly discourages elements).
You can still purchase CS6 Creative Suite 6
If you're signing up for online classes, I would suspect they expect you to be running either CS6 or Cloud versions of the software.
Learning Photoshop online using 11 year old software sound like a recipe for confusion and frustration. -
Please help me find where I can check my itunes gift card balance
Maybe I am going blind, but I only see where you can check apple gift card. But nothing for itunes gift card. Help please.

Wow, that stinks. I can't imagine receiving a $50 gift certificate to Sears, using it once to purchase a $5 item, and the cashier telling me "Thank you for your business, but we will have to keep the remaining $45 here at the store".
I can understand Apple's reasoning for doing this though.
Thanks for your help.
The problem is that physical retail outlets only handle physical merchandise. The iTunes store deals in digital media that is largely under control by a third party. While the difference only appears minor, it is not. When you buy something from a store, it is not tied to a account like it is on iTunes. This is the case with every other media store - they don't allow reselling of gift cards. -

Where can I find Final Cut Studio retail?
As a graduate of Media hoping to get into the industry as an editor, I find myself in the difficult position of trying to find a retail copy of Final Cut Studio. Every retailer I've searched no longer stocks the software. I'm worried that I may not be able to get hold of a copy and will be forced to download Final Cut Pro X, despite the fact it has recieved terrible reviews and would rather get the older, better software.
Has Apple phased Studio out of retail because if they have, that's not something I wanted to hear.In the technology world, especially in the world of video with an ever increasing number of codecs being introduced each year, it would be a reasonable assumption that software that's already two years old (FCP 7) and will never be developed or updated in any way, will only be good for about two to four years. And that's assuming that you have access to the hardware that supports the older software. It's my personal prediction that Apple will drop the MacPro line of desktops within the next couple of years. With their move to iOS and consumer gadgets and software, coupled with the fact that it is generally the video and audio professionals that use beefy desktop system, and the fact that Apple is clearly shifted its focus away from the professional crowd, what will you do when you need new or replacement hardware to run this old, EOL software on and Apple has nothing to offer?
Since you're just starting out, my advice to you would be to start learning actual professional editing software and I'd further strongly suggest that you do that on a different platform than a Mac. If you can find FCS 3 and have a decent system to run it on, great; you can use that as well. But I'd plan for an Apple-free future if you want to make a living in video post-production.
I don't make these statements lightly; after all these years using Apple products, I find it's just a sad fact.

HT201209 Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use?
Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use? I have a brother that lives in Vietnam and I want to buy him a gift card that he can use there. I've read the iTunes gift cards are country specific.
What you have read is correct; gift cards are country specific. So only if iTunes cards are issued in Vietnam, and if they are if you can find a retailer there that sells such cards and would accept an out-of-country credit card, would you be able to purchase a gift card for your brother. The same would apply to any other country.

Snow Leopard Server Software - Mac Mini Copy vs Retail Copy
Hi All,
I recently purchased a mac mini server, with what I thought would be a SL Server license.
I've used the Mac Mini to run a Leopard server whilst our Xserve was out of action.
Now the xserve is back, I was thinking of installing SL on the Xserve and keep the mini running leopard until we migrate over.
When I tried to install SL on the Xserve, it gave me an error. I rang Apple, and the enterprise guy told me this wasn't possible, as the copy that came with the mac mini was hardware specific and just a restore copy of snow leopard server. Bottom line I can't install the Mac Mini version of SL on an Xserve, even though I have paid for a SL license in buying the mac mini!
Does anybody know if there is any real differences between the hardware specific software copy and a retail version. If there isn't I'll install a copy on the mac mini and copy it over to the xserve. I just want to be sure that I'm not getting a downsized version of software!
Thanks.There are ways to extract the OS from the restore disk so you can use in other system. you will just have to do a little online search. but I think it will be illegal if you care of course... but it would probably be easier to just download a copy from rapidshare or something like that and use your key ..
As far as feature there is none between the restore and retail copy. -
My daughter lost her ITunes gift card but we still have the receipt. How can we activate the gift card?
Go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They usually will ask for a scan of the front and back sides of the card as well as a scan of the receipt, so you should contact the person who gave her the card and ask if they can send you a copy of the receipt. Many resellers provide a gift receipt for just this sort of purpose.

How to create a Windows 7 USB install disk from a retail copy of Windows 7.
I have Mac Book Pro and a iMac. Somehow Superdrive of my iMac is broke. Now I want to install a copy of a Original Retail Copy of Windows7 but I can't.
Bootcamp 4 allows to make a USB Drive but the option is greyed out whatever I try.
Please Help me to install Windows 7 on my Mac.you restart your mac and as soon as it boots up (usually you hear the dvd making a noise, or the gong sound), you hold down the Alt key until you see a screen that shows you all the partitions/drives you can boot from. you select the boot camp one, while the windows usb installation disk is inserted and it should boot up from the usb. it worked for me, but I can't guarantee it will work for you too... depending on your model. mine is an early-2009 macbook.

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD

Advisor [5:02 p.m.]:
Unfortunately, audiobooks and ringtones are the only items on the iTunes store unavailable for re-download through iTunes in the Cloud. What I can go ahead and do is try and re-add these audiobooks back to your download queue for re-download. Please note if they have been removed or modified on the iTunes store they may not be available for re-download. Would this be okay?
Customer [5:03 p.m.]:

Customer [5:08 p.m.]:
the other advisor did not down load the new testament books. The advisor did not restore all of the books that I had originally brought.
Advisor [5:10 p.m.]:
While looking closer, the books that you are missing are no longer available to be re-downloaded. This is the reason why they were not added back to your download queue when he issued them. Unfortunately, as we do not handle the content on the iTunes store you will need to get in contact with the publisher of the content as they were the ones two remove or modify these books on the iTunes store. If you would like I can provide a link to their support site.
Customer [5:11 p.m.]:
yes they are I saw them.
Advisor [5:11 p.m.]:
They may have been modified by the content owner. This will be the reason why they were not added. As Apple does not control 3rd party content on the iTunes store. You will need to get in contact with them as we are unable to re-add this content back to your download queue.
Customer [5:12 p.m.]:
it is I just looked at it in the itunes store
Customer [5:13 p.m.]:
the material is still the same. The store does have it.
Advisor [5:13 p.m.]:
Machelle, if the items have been modified since you bought them, they will be unavailable for us to issue them back to you. You will need to get in contact with the providers for these books as they are the content owners and we do not have access to issue these back to you.
Customer [5:14 p.m.]:
the are still the same bible books that I purchased at the store.
Customer [5:14 p.m.]:
The audio books are the same. When I buy it again nothing will be different.

Machelle, I understand this. This is what our records are showing. When the previous advisor tried to re-issue them to you they were unable to as they have been modified on the iTunes store.
Advisor [5:15 p.m.]:
In order to receive further support for this issue you will need to get in contact with Media Group as they are the content providers for these audiobooks.

How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?
