How can I copy a not installed download of Mtn Lion?

I downloaded a copy of Mtn Lion and wish to be able to use it on a thumb drive or burn it to a DVD. I get an error message when attempting to copy the file from the appliations folder. What is the magic handshake to make this happen?

Where are you trying to copy it TO. You can't just copy it to a Thumb drive and expect it to work to install Mt Lion. You can't burn it to a DVD as it is over the normal 4GB size of DVDs (Apple Macs don't do Dual Layer DVDs, even if Apple says it does. That is from persoanl experience trying to burn a 6GB file to a known good Dual Layer DVD. Same file on a PC burned to the same make disc without problems).
Create a new folder on your internal drive called OS X Mt Lion Install, Select the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.App" file in your Applications folder and press Command+c to Copy it. Then go to the newly created folder, Highlght that new folder and press Command+v to paste that file into that new folder. A small window will open with a progress bar, wait for it to finish before doing anything else on the computer.
You have now made a copy of that downloaded file.
Then use the lastest version of this program to create a Mt Lion Install USB thumb drive.
Serial Serveur » Lion DiskMaker (US)
If for some reason you get an error from that program in Lion when creating the Mt Lion thumb drive then you need to do it After Mt Lion is installed on your internal drive.

HT1776 I have no Energy Saver in my MacPro, how can I set it not to sleep in OSX Lion?

I want to be able to remote control my Mac Pro when I travel, But if it sleeps, I can not access it via logmein. I have a Model 1,1 MacPro running OSX Lion.
It has no energy Saver where I can prevent it from sleeping. Is there a way of me remote controlling it if it is asleep or shutdown?

Sorry, but Energy Saver has always been a part of OS X, so if you don't have it then you've deleted it. Try reinstalling OS X. Better yet upgrade OS X to at least Snow Leopard.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

You really are not getting this.
"I guess I am still completely shocked that as a parent we can't download something for everyone to use."
Why do you continue to think this although we keep telling you that this is not the case.
You do NOT have to purchase anything twice. You can share the music with as many ipods as you like in your household.
The ipods are designed to sync with your computer regularly. You should have been syncing these other ipods with your computer all along, thus transferring the purchases to your computer where that music can be synced to as many ipods as you like.
Take on of the ipods with the music in it. Open itunes on your computer. Plug in the ipod. Do not sync. Click File>Transfer Purchases This will transfer the purchases from the ipod to the computer. Make sure that you have authorized your account on the computer: here are directions for that. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
Unplug the ipod.
Plug in the other ipod with purchased music. Do not sync. Click File>Transfer Purchases This will transfer purchases from the ipod to the computer.
You can now plug in any of the ipods, select what you want to sync and sync.
Have a look at the manual for the ipod. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_touch_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf

This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application can't be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. Dr Nir Hus

Downloaded latest OS X and installed on my Mac Book Pro (early 2008). No problems.
Then attempted to install on my Mac Mini 2011 and continuously getting the following message:
"This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application can't be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading."
I noticed that I am not the only one...
Anyone with a solution.
So far all I see are various attempts by people, some successful others not.
This should not be a frustrating complicated ordeal!!!

Yup, the safe mode/repair/redownload/install finally solved it - had to do it after midnight as all the 4gig downloads have already trashed my 60gig internet limit for this month, installed REALLY slowly bugt eventually at 0330 i had working Mountatin Lion on my Macbook.
This has to be the most tedious upgrade, Mac OR Windows, I've ever done. Takes me back to inserting 15 floppies for sheer inconvenience, and from the numbers reporting this problem, it's more than an occasional glitch. And for some reason the download always fails if left unattended, even if all the sleep modes, etc, are negated.
3/10 to Apple this time around.

After purchasing a song on the iTunes store, the song did not download entirely. How can I get a refund or download it again without rep[urchasing it?

After purchasing a song in the iTunes store, the song was downloaded, but when I went to play it, it was not completely recorded. How can I get a refund or download it again without being charged again on my account?

Hi Dan,
If the song does not appear in your Purchased folder, then you can go back to the Store, select the song again, go select "Buy", and press Enter. iTunes knows you already purchased it, so it won't charge you again. It will, in fact, tell you that you have already purchased this item, and will ask you if you want to download it again for free....
Just in case it is not to be found in the Purchased folder!
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to Firefox 4 (beta)

Firefox 3.6.* and earlier set the downloaded file's modification time to the current time. In Firefox 4.0 the behavior has been changed, if a server returns a timestamp telling when the file was last modified (Last-Modified header), it is used instead.
You can revert to the previous behaviour by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/93121/ Download Timestamp] add-on.

You can't. You can take a screen cap of it, but the container doesn't allow access to the individual images used in a SWF or FLV.

Hi ladextr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. To sync your music to your iPad, first put your music in iTunes as described here:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Once that's done, you can sync the music to your iPad by following this article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
