Do I have to do anything to my harddrive before installing lion?
I want to clean install Lion OS X using lion recovery HD (the one that you have to push command+R at startup). Everytime I try to install a brand new clean copy, when I get back to the computer I find it restarted to my old desktop. Do I need to erase the items using Disk Utility before installing a new version?
Yes, by default the installation just replaces the OS and doesn't delete any of your data. If you want a clean install, erase the partition with disk utility.

I have created a new partition on the Mac HD for Lion as I would like to dual boot. Do I need to install Snow Leopard on that partition before installing Lion? If so, can I use one of my Time Machine backups to do this?

Can I set up 2 different time capsule backups? one for the lion partition and one for the snow leopard partition?
No, you can't partition a Time Capsule's internal HD. Both partitions will back up to the same sparse bundle. keeping the backups for each partition separate.
Time Machine will not take the two OSX partitions as two different computers, but for best results, exclude the Snow Leopard drive from backups on the Lion partition, and exclude the Lion partition from backups on the Snow Leopard partition.
There may be some files on the Lion partition that Time Machine on Snow Leopard won't like, among other things. See #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details. -

That is precisely the WRONG thing to do. You should never delete, but uninstall.
Now you need to look for, download and run the Adobe CS Cleaner tool. -

Do we have to register the airport express first before installing
how to install the airport express? or do i have to register it first?
As uliwooly says, it charges faster while off so I'd recommend that you turn it off when you charge it. Regarding charging time, charge it for as long or short as you want - these types of batteries doesn't require that you charge up to 100% before disconnecting the charger. When ~90% it should turn green, yes. I'm using this headset every day and I charge for about 2 hours every other day since I pretty much use it all the time.

I already have windows 8 pro with boot camp 4 installed on my macair book 11". I have searched the entire articles on how to upgrade boot camp 4 to boot camp 5 but have found no answer as to my question: Do you have to uninstall boot camp 4 drivers before you install boot camp 5? I am not sure if it is ok to install boot camp 5 directly without uninstalling boot camp 4 because there might be driver version conflict. So I have not installed boot camp 5. Is it ok to install boot camp 5 withoust uninstalling boot camp 4? Your answers will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You don't have to uninstall Boot Camp 4 drivers before installing Boot Camp 5 drivers. Boot Camp 5 drivers will simply overwrite Boot Camp 4 drivers, so you don't have to uninstall old drivers before installing new ones and making that process easier -

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.
It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
*Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
*Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
*Press Yes -
I just received my new Mac Mini and want to migrate files from my Time Machine. I assume the old OS is on Time machine and I don't want it to supersede the new Yosemite OS. Do I have to Do anything special?
Using Migrations Assistant will only move the data and other things over, it will not bring over a previous version of the Os since the 2014 model can run anything earlier than Yosemite.

Photos appear in iPhoto, but original files have disappeared. Anything I can do to recover them?
What it says in the topic. Specifically, I sorted through and deleted roughly 90% of the photos of a particular event, saving out the 10% I wanted to keep, before emptying the iPhoto trash. I then selected "File>Reveal in Finder>Original Files" in order to move the files to a centralized folder in which I keep the master files from every month. Mind you, I have gone through this process multiple times before and it has worked as expected. This time, however, when I used the "reveal in Finder" feature the finder window I already had open appeared, but nothing else happened. After some manual searching I found that all of the original files for the photos I had deleted from that event were still there, but the files for the photos I hadn't deleted were nowhere to be found (the opposite of what I did in iPhoto and what the library there actually shows). I have tried exporting the desired photos, but I only get a prompt saying that the original files cannot be found; I also cannot individually select any of the photos (only a giant triangle with an exclamation mark in it pops up) despite that all of the thumbnails are still there. Can anyone tell me what's going on or if there's anything I can do, or have I simply lost these photos forever?
in order to move the files to a centralized folder i
That's the problem. If you moved them rather than copy them to the other folder they were removed from the library and you're getting what's expected. In the future select the photos you want to store in the other folder and use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with the Kind = Original selected. That avoids this kind of error.
Have you emptied the Trash bin in the Dock? With iPhoto 9 and later image files are moved to the Trash bin in the Dock when the Trash bin in iPhoto is emptied. If they are there you'll have to import them again into iPhoto and then delete the problem ones from the original event.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
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
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

I reported a problem and I got a confirmation saying that my money was refund, I have't received anything yet. How does this work?
It should be added either to your iTunes account, or possibly to your credit card if the purchase was made on with it.
How long ago did you get the email ? It may take 48 hours for it to appear - if it's been longer than that and you can't see it on your iTunes balance (and you've tried logging out and back into the account to see if the balance updates) nor on your credit card then try contacting Support again, and include your case number if you have one. -
I heard that there was a problem with Apple being vulnerable to Hackers. Has anyone seen an update for this issue? My IPad received the update last night but I have not seen anything for Safari.
Mac OS X 10.9.2 was released today for this issue and others. Earlier versions are not affected.
See this Apple article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6114
You can use the Mac app store to do the update or download it directly from here - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1725

How do I submit my photo for my podcast page?
I already submitted my podcast and it was accepted by iTunes. At the time, I didn't have a photo to put up so I skipped that part (thinking I could do it later). Now I can't figure out how to get an image up, and it's all ready (600x600 px). I also d
