Hi I just purchased a Mac Book Air and installed the 2008 version of Microsoft and office

I purchased a mac book air and installed the 2008 version of Microsoft Home and office.... would i need to purchase the latest version to upgrade
or is it upgradable through a download?

Office for Mac 2011 (or Office 365) are both available as downloads. Start at mactopia.com.
I would say they are not treated as "upgrades" to Office 2008. I don't believe there is any pricing discount for previous Office users, nor do I think the download uses any of the Office 2008 version and updates it. Whichever of the two current Office products you purchase would be considered an entirely new and different product.

I recently purchased a Mac Book Air and wanted to know what would be the best external hard drive to buy as far as the brand and GB or TB are concerned? I will basically just be storing music, papers, and a lot of pictures.

I have had good success with HGST and Seagate HDDs. I suggest a HDD that is powered by the MBA eliminating the need for an AC cord. They now come up to 1.5 TB in capacity. In my opinion, one cannot have too much storage. If necessary, let your bank account be your guide.

You can download the trial: https://www.microsoft.com/mac/trial
There should be a place to register in which you could enter your code. It may only ask you to register after the thirty days, I can't recall.

I just purchased a Mac book pro and set up a new Apple ID with it. I already have Mac desktop computer with the original account my family has opened. I would like to transfer our old purchases to my new account, but we already have 5 devices authorized.

I just got a new Mac Book for college and I created my own apple id for it. My family already has a shared account and I was hoping to transfer the purchases from that account onto my new account. I tried the Homesharing feature, but we already have 5 devices that were authorized and we can't add another. What is the best way to make the transfer work?

You are most welcome

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I have just purchased a mac book pro. I't will not boot and the keyboard is broken. Also it did not come with an install disc. It's a 2011 13" mac book pro. Any guidance would be appreciated. This is my first mac.

I've just purchased a mac book pro. It has crashed and won't boot. The keyboard doesn't function and i have no install disc for the original os. What can i do?

This suggests that your HDD may be corrupt. In order to try and repair it, we must get into the recovery partition or use the original installation disks. Try and start your MBP using COMMAND R.
http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
If that works, note the 4 option menu. Select Disk Utility>First Aid and verify and repair the disk.
If COMMAND R fails, try OPTION COMMAND R. If that works, try the same as above with Disk Utility.
If neither works, it suggests that your MBP came with Snow Leopard. You will need replacement disks which can be ordered from Apple customer service. Have the serial number of the MBP handy and there is a charge.

I know how to do the updates. What I dont know is what size each update that I have completed was. I am having a data usage disagreement with my Telco and want to prove to them that this computer did not download the amount of data they are claiming it did.
