Do I still need OS 9 on my computer now that I have 10.3.9?

Do i still need os 9 on my apple if i have os x 10.3.9? Or can i delete it? Will it cause anything to screw up on 10.3.9? I do not run any classic programs??? Help me!!

You can remove OS 9 if you have no further need for it. There are usually three folders associated with OS 9 located at the root directory of your hard drive:
1. System Folder (not to be confused with the OS X System folder.)
2. Applications (Mac OS 9)
3. Documents
Open the System Folder and locate the OS 9 Finder and System file. Drag them to the Trash and close the folder. Restart the computer. After startup has completed delete the Trash. Now drag all three folders (System Folder, Applications (Mac OS 9), and Documents) to the Trash and empty the Trash.

Do I still need to use AC encode audio now that I have upgraded DVDSP4

May be a stupid question but the only hits that came up on my search were from a year ago. I currently export FCP using compressor and the use AC audio (Dolby) to shrink the audio file. Has the need for this step been taken out of the work flow with my upgrade? Thanks for your help.
CLEVE-ij

You're shrinking the audio to make more space for the video, so that it can look better. I don't think version 4 has changed that at all. You could use the AIFF/PCM preset, but you would be taking about 1300 kbps away from the video's data rate, for the same amount of disc space.

now that I have OS X Mountain Lion, do I still need Growl for notifications?

Depends. If an application updates their software with the 10.8 API for notifications then no, but if an application you're using doesn't update to use the built in system in ML then yeah.

I had an iPod touch, but it was stolen or lost. Now that I have a new one with a new Apple ID, is there someway I can access and download all my old photos and data from my old Apple ID to my new device? I still remember my old Apple ID and password.

Restopre from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also,
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

My time machine backup disc has apps from Mountain Lion that won't open now that I have Yosemite. They all say need to be upgraded to Yosemite. Go to app store. But app store sees that I have yosemite so doesn't even show me an udate option. How can Update these files??

How do you know they won't run in Yosemite? You're not trying to fiddle with stuff in your backup from the Finder, are you? If so you are likely to render that backup unusable.
WHen when you restore them from your backup, they should be updateable.

I had an anti-virus for my PC....now that I have a mac, do I need to keep that anti-virus?

I had an anti-virus on my pc that I purchased. It was Trend-Micro. It is now time to renew it and I am not sure if I really need it now that I have a mac...
Does anyone know if I need an anti-virus software on my macbook pro?
Thanks!

This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an attacker who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there is another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications that are downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Applications certified in this way haven't actually been tested by Apple (unless they come from the Mac App Store), but you can be sure that they haven't been modified by anyone other than the developer, and his identity is known, so he could be held responsible if he knowingly released malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe. Note, however, that there are some caveats concerning Gatekeeper:
It can be disabled or overridden by the user.
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
It only applies to applications downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article. Notwithstanding the above, the most effective defense against malware attacks is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. [Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.]
“Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is always a potential weak spot in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install it unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the filesystem. Malware gets into the system by being downloaded, not by materializing from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability and poor performance.
By modifying the system at a low level, the software itself may create vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malware attackers.
ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks.

In v6 airport utility "Join a wireless network" is not available once the TC is setup.
You must reset to factory and try again using the selection options.. and it can fail or not come up.. This is an extremely poor way to setup a TC.. and you should NEVER EVER DO IT.. that is why apple removed it. Since you are joining wireless it makes no difference where the TC is located.. since it would become a dumb AP and turn off its ethernet ports.
Place it right next to your main modem router, plug in by ethernet, and select bridge mode and create a wireless network. Never use Join a wireless network..
However for completeness here is the method.
How do I setup my time capsule with wireless internet?
Never ever do it.
If you need internet by wireless and backup to the TC.. then simply plug the TC directly into the Mac.
Run dual network.. Setup explained here.
Using Time Capsule hardwired to Mac for back-up only.

Do I need mobile me now that I have Icloud on my phone

Do I need mobile me now that I have icloud on my iPhone?

Mobile Me is being replaced by iCloud. In a year or so, Apple will completely cease Mobile Me to my knowledge.
You should be just fine using just iCloud.

I have purchased an iPad do I still need to keep iTunes on my pc?, I have purchased an iPad do I still need to keep iTunes on my pc?

I now have an iPad and want to know do I still need to have iTunes on my pc?

Need to..? Probably not, at least not if it is running iOS 5. In principle you can set up the device with a working Wi-Fi connection to the Internet, back it up to iCloud and download future updates independently of iTunes. However you still need iTunes to transfer non-iTunes Store purchased media to the device so you may find iTunes still has its uses.
Depending on what region you are in you can download previously purchased apps, books, music and TV shows as often as you like (provided they are still available in the store) but movies and (strangely) audiobooks are still on a one time only download, so it you have any of these, or plan to, then a connection to iTunes will be the only way to backup those items.

Now that I have the Messages beta that uses FaceTime, do I still need the FaceTime app?

So the new Messages beta is out, and I have it downloaded. From what I understand, it's an all in one, for texts, IMs, and FaceTime together. Does this incorporate FaceTime by itself? Or do I still need to keep the FaceTime app around? Or can I delete it?

When you install it, it will remove iChat, but not FaceTime. I suspect it uses components of FaceTime that you'll need, whereas it completely replaces what iChat does, so you no longer need iChat itself.

I need an opinion, now that I have a 500GB TC...I hope someone reads this

So originally I asked for just a plain ole external hard drive for Christmas for my 3 year old PowerBook G4 laptop. Then I started doing some research, cuz I kinda realized I wanted something wireless so that I didn't have to go through the hassle of unplugging it every time I needed to take my laptop away from my house. Currently this is how I run things....I have lots of music and that's what's taking up the majority of my internal HD space. I do a little freelance design and am also a photographer. I have, for the time being, a small external hard drive that holds my files (design work, photos, etc). I have very little files that I update on my internal HD (like I said, it's mainly music). I have an iPod that most of the music on my laptop is on (I don't keep it synced, honestly that's not really a worry for me). So when I started looking into my options, I read about the Time Capsule. Of course the opinions on the Apple Store site were mixed, but it still sounded good, so I asked for one and got it. I like that it worked wirelessly, worked with Time Machine (which has gone unused since I upgraded to Leopard last Christmas), and according to Apple I could also use it as an external HD. Now that I am reading the TC forum (after having initial problems with the TC, which required the TC to be exchanged for a new one on Monday) I really do not know what to do with it. I am reading that if you do use it as both a backup system AND external HD it gets a little "tempermental." Some people have lost all backups and files due to inexplicable disc errors and such. I have read that you can hook up an external HD through USB to the TC and access it wirelessly and put your iTunes library and music on that external HD, but then it won't be backed up. Like I said at this time, I work on files by getting the files I work on off of my small external (which is filing up fast) work on them, and then save them back on the external....Ok now I'm rambling a bit...My question is
Should I just use the TC as an external HD or use it to back up and get another external HD to connect to that....Then I can't attach a printer to the TC via USB....AHHHH too many options...What would you do??

Just thought I'd throw my thoughts into the mix, although essentially I agree with VA2020. I have similar requirements for my set up: I have a laptop, which I keep my current working files on and therefore want to have backed up regularly (by Time Machine). However, I also want to be able to play my iTunes library at home, from wherever I happen to be. So I have a Time Capsule for backing up, with an external 500GB HDD (connected to that via USB) which I use as a music and image server. I also got a wireless combo-printer to take that issue out of the equation; and to make sure my music/images are backed up, I actually use the free Back Up software you get with a MobileMe account, scheduled to back up at suitable intervals via firewire to yet another 500GB HDD (these back ups are weekly/monthly, so it's not a big deal to hook up the laptop just at those times).
I am also planning to use SuperDuper to backup the entire laptop system (I leave out apps, system files etc from the TM back ups so it's quicker) so I can restore in case of a total OS failure. This might seem like overkill, but this way I would have everything backed up, but with the ability to pick and choose what I want to recover. And although it seems complicated, once set up and scheduled, it all works with very little thought on my part. I admit TC has many glitches, but I still love the wireless backup.

Do I need to get a new Redemption code to load elements on a new computer now that I removed it from the previous computer?

Totally removed it from the old computer but forgot to deactivate it. Any help is appreciated.

And you're allowed two activated installations so you should be okay, but if you have problem, go here and scroll down to "Still need help? Contact us" so that you can start a chat session and get your activations straightened out:
