wanting to buy my parents a ipad do they need a normal PC or Laptop as well or can the ipad be used without???

iPads with iOS 5 installed can be used entirely separate from a computer. It can do updates with out iTunes and no computer is needed for it to be setup/activated. You will be fine buying them just an iPad.

I want to buy a Macbook pro - but need occasional system 10.6.8. Can the macbook from an external HD to start under 10.6.8?

No. Macs cannot run a system that is older than the hardware. You can however pick up a copy of Snow Leopard Server and run it in a virtual machine using Parallels.

When I use the keyboard on my iphone 5, the keyboard takes a mind of its own. If I press a letter sometimeIs it puts the letter twice. It puts periods when I don't want it to. And if I hesitate on a letter it starts erasing everything I just typed.

What user troubleshooting have you tried? The user troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new. Usually a reset will fix most of the unusual actions by the device.

My Mac is a OSX 10.5.8 and i want to upgrade to Lion v10.7.2 Do I have to also get Snow Leopard? Can the be purchased together?

Yes you have to purchase Snow Leopard first. Once you have it installed then update it to 10.6.8 using the 10.6.8 Update Combo. Once you have updated and thorougly tested your system then purchase the Lion upgrade from the Mac App Store and follow the on-screen prompts.
At the very minimum make sure your computer meets the System Requirements for Lion and make sure you have all your applications up-to-date. As you may (or may not) know PPC based apps will NOT run under Lion so please check your apps to see that they will run under Lion. Please look at the article link below for instructions on how to tell if they will or not.

I just want to burn my imovie project to a dvd. I have a macbook pro with retina display, the most recent update of imovie and mountain lion.

I can't seem to figure out how to burn my imovie to a dvd. I have an external optical superdrive and blank dvds. Is there a way to do it without downloading lots of other apps/software? I bought a macbook instead of pc because I wanted the video/photo editing, I'll be disappointed if there isn't a convinent way to turn them into a hard copy dvd to share with family and friends.

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?

I have an airport express, which I want to use with my broadband providers router to create a second wireless access point but not with the same network name etc.

In effect, I want to have my providers router working upstairs and the aiport express downstairs connected via wi fi. The airport would have a different network name, then allowing me to connect the children to the access point. This would allow me to turn their network off at times of day etc.
any ideas ?

Sorry, but the AirPort Express....or any other Apple router......cannot do this.
In order to do what you want, you will need to establish an Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on your "main" router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
Configure the AirPort Express to "create a wireless network" using a wireless network name, and password that you select. As far as controlling connections, you can use the settings in Timed Access to establish rules about when the kids and cannot connect.

Went to beta 4 and want my extensions back, went back to 3.6, they still don't work, adblock plus, clippings, flashblock...... help !

I had firefox set the way I wanted it, saw beta 4 was out, installed,, none of my extensions worked, biggest one I need is adblock + and clippings. I can not stand the time it takes to load web pages with all the ads coming up, and I have most of my paswords saved in clippings.
I can not remember some of the paswords to log on and pay bills and such, I need them back. I went as far as uninstalling beta 4 and went back to 3.6 and still nothing. no updates available, but they worked before, and worked quite well.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Cannot save a bookmark to NEW folder - FF wants me to rename EXISTING parent folder

I cannot save a bookmark to a new folder. This is the path I am taking from the main menu:
Bookmarks | Bookmark This Page
Click the drop-down arrow to the right of Folder
Select Choose
Scroll to the parent folder in which I would like a new subfolder
Click New Folder
Then, instead of creating a new folder as it always did in the past, it highlights the parent folder for editing. If I type in a new folder name, the parent folder is changed to that new name. A new subfolder is created with the name New Folder.
Things I have already tried that did *not* resolve the problem:
- Deleting and then restoring bookmarks from a saved bookmark backup file.
- Running the Add-On "Places Maintenance"
- Rebuild "Places" database
I have not yet reset Firefox or created a new profile but can try that if you gurus think that would help.
I am using FF 32.0.2 on Win XP SP3.
I have hundreds and hundreds of bookmarks, but from what I have read, there is no max size limit.
Thank you in advance!
Carol

Cor-el, thank you very for your reply.
I started Firefox in Safe Mode. The problem still occurs in Safe Mode. My understand is if the problem persists in Safe Mode, it is *not* being caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Other possible causes could be plugins or changes made to Firefox preference settings, which are not disabled in Safe Mode.
As you suggested, I did check Add-ons > Appearance. (I don't think I have ever had any Appearance other than the default theme.) It was and still is set at Default 32.0.2 By Mozilla. Since the bookmarks problem persists in Safe Mode, I think we can rule out this as the cause anyway.
All of my Plug-Ins are up-to-date except iTunes Application Detector 1.0.1.1. Status is "unknown". I have all Plug-Ins set to "Ask to Activate" or "Never Activate". None of them are set to "Always Activate".
My cache, cookies and history have been cleared. I have rebooted my computer.
Per your instructions, I did *not* reset Firefox. Should I reset Firefox or reinstall Firefox?
The bookmarks problem still occurs.
Thank you so much!
Carol

I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?

I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?
New computer: Dell, Windows 8.1
Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
16 GB RAM
itunes up-to-date
Old computer: Dell, Microsoft Windows XP
Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU @ 2.80GHz
1 GB RAM
itunes not up-to-date (updating it isn't really an option)
I have these movies downloaded on the old computer from digital hd redeemed codes: Fantastic Mr. Fox, Super 98, Thor, Inception, The Hunger Games, and Star Trek Into Darkness. I bought Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on itunes with money, and that one isn't showing up either. When I search it on itunes to see if I can just re-download it, that isn't an option. I would have to buy it again. Home Sharing isn't what I want because the old computer will not be here forever and it is not connected to wifi.
It's kind of a lot of movies, and I want them on the new computer.

im so happy I have a iTunes Card Code absolutely free! I got it at http://linkbitty.com/freeitunes2014

You can get Xcode without joining the developer program. Just go to the App Store and download it (it's free).
You'd only need to join the Developer program if you want to put your app into the App Store, this is for OS X.
You will need to join the Developer program if you want to develop for IOS. In that case you will need a parent or guardian.

How to Push photos to parent's iPad?

I'm sure I'm not the only one looking for a solution to this.
Just gave our parents an iPad. We'd like to set them up with a few galleries and then be able to push photographs into the galleries so they can easily see new pictures. They are connecting via Wifi and they do NOT have a computer in their home.
MobileMe's Gallery App will NOT work, as it shows ALL of someone's MobileMe galleries if you are the visitor, and we want to make private (hidden) galleries just for them.
Some people have suggested using Dropbox or Goodreader, but these are not really elegent solutions and certainly not good for ageing parent.
Any suggestions?

My mother-in-law is in China, and I plan to buy her an iPad (or Android) tablet so we can Skype over Wi-Fi.
When the tablet is not being used as a camera phone, I would ilke it to cycle through images, and be able to push images to the phone..
So when her granddaughter goes on her first prom, HS graduation, Award ceremony, those pictures will be added tot he queue, and cycle through.
Better if we can retire older pictures, to make room for new.
Video clips that automatically run would be nice too.
You put out a request several months ago, I was wondering what the final solution was, and if you are happy with it!
