I just got a macbook pro and I dont have Idvd on it? How and where can I get it help me please!

Please help me people NOW i need it for tomorrow for graduation!

Do you have a older Mac that had iDVD on it? If you do you can try copying the application and the iDVD folder (located in the ~Library/Application Support folder) from the older Mac to the same locations on the new MBP.
Otherwise you'll have to purchase a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer and install it from there. Why 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

How well does a Macbook pro and a Macbook air run Xcode, Photoshop and Dreamweaver?

How well does a Macbook pro and a Macbook air run Xcode, Photoshop and Dreamweaver?

MacBook Pro - no problem, it is an extremely popular computer for running that software. Just look at the Adobe demo videos of their products, most of the time you can see a MacBook Pro running the software in their video.
MacBook Air - should be just as good most of the time.
However, if you get involved in heavy Photoshop work like highly stacked layers/masks/channels, 16 bits per channel or up, or merging HDR or panoramas, the MacBook Pro may be better because it can take 16GB RAM while the MacBook Air can take only 8GB RAM.
Also, if you are going to do serious programming in XCode or Dreamweaver, you may find the MacBook Air screen to be too small for all of the code windows and tool palettes that you may want to open and arrange in those programs. The 15" Retina screen of the MacBook Pro will let you spread out your work and do less window switching. The 11/"13" MacBook Air screens are both smaller and non-Retina so not as sharp.
Even Photoshop is nicer on the 15" MacBook Pro because of the extra screen space for the image with less intrusion by the tool palettes.
In short, if you are a casual user the MacBook Air will be great. If you are a professional with a heavy workload the MacBook Pro may be more efficient overall due to the larger screen and higher RAM capacity.

You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Reboot the computer then try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring via iTunes.
Next try DFU mode.

If you are entitled to download Mountain Lion, because you have paid for it or it was on your computer when you bought it from Apple, you can place it on a flash drive.

And the cost, from the App store when you purchase for the first time, is US$20.00 (twenty).

How to I restore Macbook Pro and keep OS upgrades?

I have an 09' MacBook Pro and have upgraded the OS along the way. Now I bought a new computer and want to restore it and give it to the kids. Can I restore it with the factory disc without losing the upgraded OS? I upgraded with a family pack with my brother so I don't have the upgrade disc, he does. Thoughts?

You have no choice but to get the Snow Leopard upgrade disk to do what you want.

Format and reinstall everything is a drastic measure. If you describe the issues in detail perhaps a resolution can be found.

How can i upgrade my macbook pro if i dont have credit card?

every time i try to upgrade imovie from appstore it tells me that i have to sign in, when i do that it says to me that this account havent been used in itunes store so i cant upgrade it. i tried to download the last version of imovie and when i tried to, it tolds me that i have to do it only in the appstore.
What should i do if i dont have a credit card?

You can set up an apple ID without a credit card, but to update/make purchases in iTunes and the app store, you need to have a credit/debit card on your account. If you don't have one at the moment, I would suggest getting a prepaid credit card from Walmart/CVS or something like that. $5 to get it, load like $25 on there and you would be set to go

I just got a Macbook Pro and I dont know if....

I dont know if it comes with OS X LION instaled.

Hi,
If it was purchased in the last 1 month then you will either have OSX Lion or you will be elligable for a free upgrade.
To find out if you have it installed click on the apple logo at the top left of the screen, and from that menu select "about this mac"
Apple operating systems are nicknamed after the cats, tiger - leopard - snow leopard and now Lion. There actual names are OSX 10.x.x
The actual name that you will find for Lion is 10.7.? Snow Leopard (the previous version) is 10.6.?.
The ? is the number of the latest version of that particlular operating system. you do not need to worry about this one.
if that is a bit confusing you can go to the apple app store on your mac. Select the Lion download. It will have a button to buy the software, if this button is greyed out and has installed instead of Buy Now, then you have it installed.
