The details will depend upon which system came with the computer originally.
If this came with Mountain Lion originally:

    My 1st ipod was lost. My library is on a Dell with Windows.  I registered my new ipod to a Mac.  How can I get my library from Windows onto my new Ipod?

    Thank you for your help.  I am still having trouble.  As you can tell, I am not technologically advanced AT ALL.  My music is all showing up in the library but when I go to file in the top left corner, Sync is greyed out and I cannot select it.  I'm gonna continue to try this.  It's been a long time since I had my 1st ipod and things have changed so much I will probably need to research this stuff.  Thanks again for your help.

    If the app is not available in the App Store in the country in which you live, you cannot buy the app. You must have a valid credit card registered to an address in the county in which you live to purchase content from the App Store or iTunes. You cannot buy from another country's store.

  • How can I stop Mountain Lion from writing savedSate?

    Hi everyone,
    I have an SSD (used as the system disk) in my iMac, and after noticing that its lifespan (according to S.M.A.R.T.) has ticked down a bit, I started looking at what's writing to the system disk, using iostat, iotop, and fs_usage.
    What I discovered is that, even though I have Resume turned off (by checking "Close windows when quitting an application"), Mountain Lion is still writing huge amounts of data to the *savedState folders in ~/Library/Saved Application State, for each application I have open. The only difference with Resume turned off is that it removes the *savedState folder for each app when I quit that app.
    Since I use this iMac for work, I typically have quite a few applications open for long periods of time. According to iostat, this is causing over 1 gigabyte of data per hour to be written to savedState. That's 10-12GB in a typical day, not including data I actually write to the drive as I work! Needless to say, this is hammering my SSD and is probably what is decreasing its lifetime.
    I've spent a couple of hours googling this problem, and though I've found lots of ways to turn off Resume both globally and per-application, none of them prevent Mountain Lion from continuing to write all this Resume data to the *savedData folders. Does anyone know how to completely turn off Resume and stop all this unnecessary disk I/O?
    Thanks!

    YOu can get it stop by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State/TextEdit (by example) and delete that file…
    (note that the User Library is hidden - one way to get there is to go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library")
    You can also delete all Saved Application State files
    Or use Terminal to turn off Resume globally...
    chflags uchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
    Press return
    Or
    defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no

    Buy Snow Leopard for your Mac Pro, update it to 10.6.8, purchase and download Mountain Lion. There is no other solution.

  • HT1689 How can I purchase a song from I tunes US when I have a UK account and it won't allow me to?

    Trying to purchase Puccini from the UK store but only way is on the US site but won't allow me? What's the problem god it is frustrating.

    You can only purchase content from your own country's store - to be able to buy form the US store you will need a valid US billing address and be in the US when buying from it. You can try requesting that it be added to the UK store, but ultimately it's the record company that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • How can I re-download Lion from apple store?

    I just puchases Snow Leopard in order to upgrade to Lion. I had purchased Lion for my Imac desktop from the Apple Store. I have read items on how to redownload from the apple store with no success. I have seen where you go to purchases and hold down the option key and click purchases and it should show Lion. It did not work. Any other ideas?

    The 'someone" who sent you a screen shot was me.   The reason that Lion does not show up is, as I wrote, because it self deletes on completion of the download.
    To see hidden purchases you need to sign in to your account ... Apple Logo > App store > menu bar 'Store' > View my account.
    The page that comes up will be Account Information.   There are 3 sub sections.
    Apple ID summary, iTunes in the cloud and settings.   To the right of iTunes in the cloud is a reference to view Hidden purchases.  Click on that, and if you have any they will show.
    If these details are still not clear enough you could as a last resort contact ...
    iTunes support.     http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
        or
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/   -  There are a variety of solutions to problems on the left hand side of the page.

  • How can I download Mnt Lion from the App Store on a new Mac running Mavericks?

    Greetings... We just purchased a new iMAC at work and need to remove Mavericks and move it backwards to Mnt Lion.
    Some of our big apps like Esko Automation Engine Pilot arn't ready for Mavericks yet so we need to go back a version
    to obtain the compatibility.
    When I access the Mnt Lion download via the App Store I get an error message (1004) stating that Mnt Lion can not
    be installed on this machine?
    Any ideas on how I can make this happen?
    Thanks

  • How can I stop Mountain Lion from auto-connecting to AppleTVs in my network?

    Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion my MacBook Pro automatically tries to connect to any AppleTV in the network I'm on. This is great for at home, but my office has a few different AppleTVs that are constantly sucking my audio through without any type of direction to do so on my end.
    Thank you for your help.

    I don´t know for a fact, but I guess you can have your firewall block the traffic to and from the AppleTV's. You have to find out which ports to block (see: http://bowersandwilkins.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/55/~/firewall-ports -utilised-by-airplay ) and also you will need to have different location profiles for your home and work network.
    Just my two cents.

  • How can I get my iTunes from windows to mac

    I just bought this macbook pro, which I love, but I don't want my iphone to erase during sync, how do I get my Itunes Windows stuff onto my Itunes Mac??

    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

  • How can I get qucken data from windows copied over to quicken for the Mac?

    I recently bought a Macbook Pro. I have been using windows my whole life. I installed Quicken 2006 for the MAC. I backed up my windows quicken on a disk and it just doesn't open it. Is there a trick? or am I screwed?

    Unfortunately, there is no simple way to convert a Quicken/WIndows data file to Quicken/Mac. This is a major complaint of a lot of switchers.
    I can't find the link (I'll keep looking) but I know that Intuit offers a conversion service. You send them your data file, and for an absurd amount of money they'll convert the file for you.
    You're probably better off starting your Quicken/Mac file from scratch.
    That's what I did. It took some time to do, but now I'm happy with it and I didn't have to pay anyone to convert the file.

  • HT204411 How can I purchase a song from one country when it is only available in another country.

    I would like to purchase a song by a Canadian artist using my Canadian Apple account but her entire album is only available in the united states store. I don't know how to keep my current balance and purchase the song through my Canadian iTunes account.

    The USA iTunes Store can only be used by customers with a billing address in the USA, and who are physically in the USA at the time of purchase.
    Do check the artist's website.  It may provide guidance on other online sources where the album is available for download.
