How do I install a new program from a dvd on my new iMac?

Buy an external USB optical drive like the Apple USB SuperDrive.
Use another Mac with an optical drive by using Target Disk Mode.
Borrow a Mac with an optical drive and clone the DVD to a USB flash drive.

How do I transfer the music from my iPod to my new IMac computer (95% of the music on it is from CD's I own)?

How do I transfer the music from my IPod to my new IMac computer? I just changed from a PC to IMac. 95% of the music on it is from CD's I own and the ITunes on the new IMac is only recongnizing the ones I bought off of ITunes.

That is correct. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

How can I import Quicken Files from a G4 to a new iMac.

I need to transfer my Quicken 2007 files from my G4 to my new iMac. My G4 is running OS 10.4 and Quicken Essentials for Mac requires 10.5 or above. My G4 cannot run 10.5. My iMac is running Lion and I've heard if I load Mac Essentials on my iMac, I won't be able to import the files from my G4. Anybody have any ideas?
I've been considering making a copy of my system and applications folders on an external firewire drive, then connecting it to my iMac. I thne plan to use the external drive as a startup disk and load Quicken essentials on the external drive. Then, once eveything is loaded, I was hoping I could copy the files and pull them over to my applications folder on my iMac. Does anybody know if that will work?

I'm in the same boat!!! Been a long Time Quicken user and they finally made the software almost un-useable. I have 2 intel laptops in the house and a G4. The intel systems are both running Lion had I known the quicken conversion software dosen't run on Lion I would have converted all my quicken backups (going back to 1997) before installing Lion.
To answer your question, what I have found out is convert all your files on Lepoard then update to lion. The conversion software that comes with Quicken Essentials will work on Lepoard. Thats how I converted mine. But last week I needed to go back to and old backup looking for some transactions and found the Lion issue. Had to boot up the G4 and load the old Quicken software to look at the backups.
Been really thinking of switching to another product.

You can use Migration Assistant or Manually move files using an External Hard Drive.

How do I get my music from my ipod onto my new imac

I have an ipod mini and just bought a new imac. When I plug the ipod in it says it is already sync'd to one library and I cannot sync it to another. I am clueless about how to get my music onto my computer...lol. This is probably complicated by the fact that I've never had a mac before. I also bought a new nano so once I get my music onto the mac I want to get it onto the new nano. Maybe I am doing this all bassackwards?
Appreciate any help you can give!

How to re-install Mainstage purchased from the App Store onto new drive

I recently purchased Mainstage 2.2.1 from the App Store. It automatically downloaded and installed the app onto my drive (not giving me a physical installer dmg, I guess this is normal). My system was slow so I decided to buy an SSD drive and install it in place of the Superdrive as a dedicated music drive. After installing Lion and booting from this new drive I went to the App store assuming I could simply re-install the app but there is no option for that. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks

Just just launch the Mac App Store, select the "Purchased" tab and download MainStage or any other application you already bought.

How do I install iWork'09 from original DVD on my iPad?

Just purchased iPad 2. I have MacBook Air and Pro. I purchased iWork´09 DVD from MacStore and would like to install it in my iPad.
I´ve seen ¨Numbers¨ on the AppStore, but since I have the DVD I wouldn´t like to pay for it again...

lkrupp is correct - except it's more like comparing apples to oranges.
The two devices run on totally different operating systems so you cant share the software between the the Mac and the iPad. It equates to trying to install MS Office for Mac on a PC. You may already own the software, but you don't own a compaitible version for the other machine.
You will have to purchase the Apple iWorks apps for the iPad if you want to use it on the device. Apple doesn't actually package it as a suite so you have to buy Pages, Numbers and Keynote separately for the iPad.

How can I install OSX Tiger from a DVD if my iBook G3 600mhz only has a CD?

I just purchased this iBook for my wife as a starter laptop for her as I love Macs and iBooks and I know she will be better off with one than the HP laptop she has. It is in pristine condition. The only problem is that the iBook is loaded with OS X 10.1.4 which is outdated and needs an upgrade. I found my old Tiger DVD and wanted to upgrade but the iBook only has a CD drive. I do not have an external DVD drive or such. What can I do? Can I copy the info off of the DVD onto a Pen Drive? Any suggestions? Please help. Thank you so much!
iBook Specs:
12" Screen Display
600 Mhz CPU
128 MB Ram
CD Drive

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you want to run Mac OS X 10.4, you need to upgrade the iBook's RAM. Mac OS X 10.4 requires a minimum of 256 MB of RAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514?viewlocale=en_US
Although a 128 MB module would get the iBook up to the minimum required by Mac OS X 10.4, I strongly recommend that you maximize the RAM with a 512 MB RAM module. It takes a 144-pin, 3.3 V, PC100 or PC133 compliant, 1.25 inch SDRAM SO-DIMM.
Instructions for adding the RAM can be found in this Apple Knowledge Base article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=111918
Once you get the RAM upgraded, you can attach the iBook G3 to your iBook G4 with a FireWire cable and use the iBook G4's optical drive to upgrade the iBook G3 with Mac OS X 10.4 (assuming that you have the full retail DVD, and not an upgrade DVD or one that came with another Mac).
Instructions for doing that can be found in these two articles:

Good luck!

How can i import my files from an Acer into my new iMac - easiest idiot proof solution pls

i bought an iMac, and would like to migrate all data from my old Acer aspire one over to the mac
i tried thru wireless ------ too dumb for it - or to bad step by step guides to do it
same for connecting the two by ethernet....
can someone guide a dummy thru this pls?

Do you have a USB flash drive or an external hard drive, if so then plug it in to your USB port on your Acer and copy your my documents folder to to the drive. After ejecting the drive insert it into the Mac and copy the files into your home folder. I would copy folder to folder from drive, for example; your documents folder files from Acer to Mac documents folder and so forth.

Installing a program from DVD

Autorun.ini takes Numbers to open???? Why, how can I change this to install a program from a DVD??

Hi both,
thanks for the reaction. I intend to install the software from Devolo dLAN connector which works over the power cable lines.
On the installation CD it is a autorun.exe file which should run automaticly. It doesnt.
If I double click on it, it tries to open with "Numbers". And of course this is a wrong linked program to run.
Right mouse button, choose program to open shows me other programs wich I could link to open. Which one shall I choose to run a .exe file?
Sorry for this, I am a PC user since 20 years. The MAC world is different and new for me. How can I make a print screen with the Mac to show you what I mean?
Thanks for your help.

How do I install a program like adobe photoshop from a cd to my computer

You've posted your question in the Mac Pro desktop computer forum and all but the most recent Mac Pro's came with a CD/DVD drive built in. Since you have a MacBook Pro, is your question how to install from a CD when you don't have a built in CD drive? If so, one solution would be to get a USB SuperDrive. Or, since many programs require entering some form of validation code, and that's often on the CD or the box it came in, see if there's a downloadable version and use the printed code with that.
If you mean you've got an optical drive but the installation process is not clear, just follow Kappy's and Niel's advice.
