Hi I'm new to Mac & I have bootcamp on it but am stuck, how do I get from Mac side to the Window side?

Hold the "option" key on boot. Choose the system to boot.
Then "System Preferences > Startup Disk" to select Max OSX as your default system.
There is another "system preferences" in the Windows menu that is added by bootcamp to make it the default, but I do not know the details of that.

I am trying to install an app. When I click install, my old gmail account shows and asks for my password etc but I have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple id. How can I get it to default to the new gmail?

I am trying to install an app in my iphone. When I click Install, my old gmail account comes up for verification and it asks for my password etc. I dont use this account anymore and have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple account. How can I get the new gmail to default when I am trying to install apps?

Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

I have a diabetes monitor free style insulinx how do i get it to work on the MAC lion version

Hi Can anyone help.
I Have a diabetes monitor free style insulinx but it does not work on the lion operating system. Has anyone managed to get this to work.
Initially it started to load the application but then stopped and would not work.
Any ideas, I am reliably informed that it use to work on the leopard and snow leopard operating system.
Apple are you able to assist.
I have spoken to insulinx but they state it will have to come from Apple and if and when insulinx find a fix they will let me know, but who knows how long that will be.
any advice would be welcome.
thanks

I had the same problem and called Abbott with no luck.
But I found a way, there is a new version 1.2 out there that works but it cannot be installed directly on Lion.
You need access to a Leapard or Snow Leapard computer.
1. Install on Lion (I know it installs but it does not work)
2. Install from your meter on and update the software from there to 1.2
3. Copy the installation folder from the application folder of Leapard to Lion Application folder
4. Launch the app and it will see your meter.
Good luck.

I want my iTunes library to be saved and stored in my music documents in my laptop like they would be if you bought the songs but how do I get iTunes to do this?

My screenshots have stopped going to my clipboard. How can I get my screenshots back into the clipboard?

I use Command (⌘)-Shift-4 to grab screenshots of diagrams to make flashcards with on a daily basis. But now my screenshots have stopped going to my clipboard - and they don't paste into my flashcards.
Dropbox popped up and asked me if I wanted to use it to save my screenshots and I said No Thanks, but then right after that my screenshot function stopped working. I can still save shots to my desktop, but I'd love to not clutter my desktop. The screenshots are not going to dropbox either, I checked.
Can someone tell me how to get my screenshots to go back to going into my clipboard?
Thanks!

Thanks Lanny! I actually typed in the wrong command into my question - I meant to type what you mentioned. But I did end up figuring it out: for some reason the shortcut to screenshot into my clipboard changed. I was able to restore all my shortcut commands back to default and it worked again!
Thanks!

How do I get a new AdMin User to have same desktop with all apps?, How do I get a new AdMin User to have same desktop with all apps?

I recently switched from a MacBook Air to MacBook Pro. When I transferred my Adobe Creative Cloud account to the MBP, I started having "User Privileges" problems with Photoshop. Adobe Support suggested I create a new AdMin User. I did that, but when I logged on as the new AdMin User, all of my settings were off. None of my apps were in the Dock; none of my apps were in the control bar. I "believe" all my apps are there (by the way, this did eliminate the User Privileges problems with Photoshop.) However, none of defaults from the other "Account Name" are available. I basically want to duplicate the same hard drive with the new AdMin User account. Is that possible?

There are basically two levels in installing applications.
1: Applications folder, which is for global use across accounts.
2: User account specific, which includes Finder menulets, some browsers or any app that's sit's in the user account folders instead of being in the global Applications folder or it's sub-folders (like Utilities)
When you created the new Admin account, it comes like a brand new account, the basic items in the Dock and so forth.
When you installed software, it might have put those shortcut items in the Dock and elsewhere for you out of convenience. Also when Adobe installed it installed globally for all users, and each available user account (at the time of install) it placed the Dock shortcuts most likely.
To place a shortcut item into the Dock
Open your Applications folder, find the app and drag it's icon to the Dock and squeeze it in so it makes room and let go, it will make a copy there and put the original back into the Applications folder.
If you drop it on the Desktop by accident, put it back into the Applications folder and try again.

How do I get from Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard to the newest Mac software?

I need help! I have a MacBook from early 2009 (Silver) with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard. I need to update it so that I can fnally update my iPhone and iTunes. What steps do I need to take in order to bring it to the newest so
ftware?

Hello,
First you must get 10.6, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

New Hard Drive, Mac partition cloned and boots fine, but I can't seem to get my BOOTCAMP (windows) partition to boot! Any ideas?

Hello all!
I got a new hard drive for my Mac Book Pro and an enclosure so I could clone the old partitions on to the new drive.
So I...
Put the new hard drive in the enclosure.
Booted up off an install disk and ran disk utility.
Copied the Mac and Bootcamp partitions over to the new drive that was connected VIA USB.
Turned off the computer, took the old hard drive out and put it in the enclosure.
Put the new hard drive in the Mac Book Pro.
Booted into Mac OSX with no problem.
When I rebooted held down the option key to boot into the windows side, it didn't show up as an option.
When I went back into the Mac side, I loaded Disk Utility and saw that I had the Mac partition, the BOOTCAMP partition, and a bunch of unallocated space. When I went into the System Preferences and set the target boot drive to the BOOTCAMP partition and restarted, I got some crazy error about there not being any bootable info on it.
That's where I am at. I have found other posts with people who are having the same problem, but I have yet to find a solution that doesn't involve me buying some 3rd party software. I know it has something to do with (what is called in Microsoft world) the Master Boot Record, but I don't know how to modify that to reflect that the BOOTCAMP partition is a bootable logical drive. I remember in MS DOS land there was some command line FDSK /something command that you would run (I think it was /MBR) to reset the MBR. To me though, all of these terms are shadowy figures in the Ether.
What do I do???

p.s. I read somewhere to boot off the windows 7 disk and run the system repair tools. I tried that and no change.

I got it. It CAN be done. At least on 10.6
How I made it happen (for free) on Snow Leopard:
1) partition, dupe etc all that jazz that you know. Make the mac side work, which it seems we've all been able to do no issues. I used SuperDuper! It worked just fine. (Had it on a disk. I assume you could use any other free way of doing this.)
2) New hard drive running, I used bootcamp assistant to partition the new drive for a new Bootcamp. I don't know if it's necessary to make the new partition this way for some reason, but it's what the process ultimately included, so maybe try without, but it worked with.
3) Natively running original drive on the windows side. Used DirveImage XML to clone windows partition onto new drive connected externally.
4) Back on new hard drive running natively. (Sorry for all the switching.) You'll note that the new Bootcamp partition is NOT bootable at this point. It won't come up in the usual 'alt on startup' boot menu.
Download rEFInd and install on mac side. Technically this is freeware or w/e, but for the love of god, throw money at this man. He totally deserves it.
5) Restarting the computer, rEFInd's boot manager finally recognizes windows. But you'll find windows is a little messed up and still won't quite boot. Get out your Windows CD and pop it in. Do the 'alt boot' thing. Your boot menu options are now "EFI Manager," "Bootcamp," and "Windows Disk." Or some such. Holy Crap! It recognizes Windows!
6) Boot to the CD and tell it to repair the windows volume. It will. My computer also had to do a disk check next time I booted to Windows, which took for-stupid-ever, but eventually worked. (I went to bed in between.)
7) Everything is running smoothly. Plus, you get the rEFInd boot manager, which is also great.
Deets: I have a late 2010 MBP 13". Snow leopard/Windows 7 32-bit (long story) Moved from original 320GB seagate momentus to new 750GB Seagate Momentus XT.
Feel free to share/copy&paste this solution as you see useful. Cheers!

I use the "Bootcamp" on my Mac to work between Mac and Windows. How do I get my iTunes music from the Mac side of my hard drive to the Windows side?

I use my "Bootcamp" harddrive to work on both the Mac side and Windows7 side of my computer. How do I get my Itunes Library from the Mac side to the Windows side of my Mac Book Pro?

Time Capsule is for backing up your data. It's not really a solution for live file storage; using it will not reduce the bloat of your boot volume.
If you have a lot of movies, music, etc. in your iTunes Library, that can be a good thing to move to an external drive. Here's how:

After you follow those instructions to copy your media over to the external drive and point iTunes to it, you can delete it from your internal drive.

I have Mac itunes and a touch 2G. My wife has Win7 and touch 4G (both iOS 4.2.1). She got a new iphone, I now have her touch 4G, and am trying to sync it to my Mac itunes. The music and videos sync to the 4G, but apps & podcast will not. All are checked to sync. During sync, it gets to "determining apps to sync" then immediately goes to "finished syncing". No apps or podcasts from my Mac itunes are on the touch 4G.

You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
- If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
--- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
iOS: How to back up
--- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

Unfortunately, adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 available for download, as far as i know, so your best bet is to either get an usb dvd drive or use an computer with a dvd drive and copy the contents of the pse 6 dvd to somethiing like
a flash drive and then copy the contents from that drive to your new computer.
Do you still have your older mac and it has a dvd drive?
You can share files between the two using airdrop or an ethernet cable.

I currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 but I need version 10.7.5 or later to download the newest ITunes.

I currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 but I need 10.7.5 or later versions to download the latest ITunes. Please help! I have lost my original updating cd that came with my MacBook. I'm having trouble understanding where I could go and simply download 10.7.5 version or later. It seems like I have to download a whole bunch of versions prior to downloading the version I actually want. Is there a simpler/efficient way?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update. The current iTunes version won't work on 10.6.8.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.
