Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How can I upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8? I cannot find in in the Apple Store. Thanks.
As of now you can upgrade to Yosemite, but not to Mavericks, at the App Store.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

How do I copy Aperture app from iMac to Macbookwith different ID
how do I copy Aperture app from iMac to Macbookwith different ID ?
Do you mean
" Macbook with different Apple ID " ?
If you bought Aperture on your iMac from the App Store using a different AppleID, sign into the Apple Store on your MacBook with exactly that Apple ID. (Use the "Store" menu. First sign out and then sign in with the other ID)
Then reload the "Purchased" page. You should see now Aperture ready for download. Install it.
Then sign out of the store and back in with your regular AppleID on that Mac. If you are notified of updates, you will have to switch between AppleIDs again to install the update.

How do you sync mail folders from iMac(lion) to my iPad.
How do you sync mail folders from iMac(lion) to my iPad?
Is your email account an IMAP account? If not, the folders will not sync.
If your email account is a POP account, you can create folders and mailboxes in the Mac mail app and those folders will be for local storage and organization on the Mac only. That is a feature of the Mac mail software. Those folders/mailboxes will not sync if you do not have an IMAP account. -
How can I transfer/import iPhotos from iMac to MacBook Pro?
How can I transfer some photos from iPhoto on iMac Desktop to iPhoto on MacBook Pro?
We're talking some photos? You can export them from iPhoto to a USB flash drive form the iMac and import them into iPhoto on the MBP. That's one way.

how can i how can I play itunes library on my IPHONE4 from IMAC using APPLE REMOTE? I can only use my iPhone 4 as a REMOTE to play itunes from IMac to APPLE TV.
You cannot. The remote app is exclusively for remotely controlling an apple tv for playback of a library on your computer. If you want to play your computer's music on your iPhone you just use home sharing on both devices and play the music in the Music app on your phone, not using the Remote app on your phone.

How do I get all Photos from iMac to MBP
My iPhoto album has several hundred pictures in several albums. While on the road, I'd like to put them on CD's or DVD's. Right now they are all on my iMac and I'd like to move them over to my MBP which I have with me all of the time. It makes more sense to be able to do the disc media on the road rather than at home. Any suggestions how I can pair the iMac to the MBP in order to get the pictures onto the MBP would be an enormous help?
Join them with a Firewire cable and then restart the iMac while holding down T so it Boots into Target Disc mode, then it will appear on the MacBook Pro Desktop as a regular volume. Then just drag the iPhoto Library across from one to the other (this would replace any Library on the MBP so if you need that rename it first)

How can I update to Mavericks from 10.7.5?
I am running 10.7.5 on an iMac 3.06 Intel. I have downloaded the dmg for 10.9.5 (from three different locations), and the install won't proceed. It stops and I get a message that says I need 10.9 before I can install. I would rather not try Yosemite just yet, because I'm reading scary things. Not even sure I'd be able to do Yosemite either-
Thanks in advance!Unless you downloaded the full Mavericks installer from the Mac App Store before Yosemite came out, it's no longer available. The updaters you found aren't it.
Your Mac can run Yosemite.

How do i downgrade to Maverick from Yosemite without using Time Machine
Hi , there , so i have a mbp 15' mid 2010 , and i thought hey why no update to the latest software, cause why not.
biggest mistake. my start up and restart has been real slow and i think i could live with it until safari starts to crash real often.
so yeah , here i am asking for help because my last backup from maverick is dated way back to July and i do not want to lose all my stuff ( not really sure how time machine works )
thanks in advances guys !You will have to make a backup of your current content as reverting back means erasing the hard drive.
Rename the older backup as you do not want to over write it...then restart on the recovery HD partition by holding the Command and R keys. Choose Disk Utility, then the internal drive where Yosemite is installed, and Erase.
Then choose Restore and drag the old backup to the Source box and the drive you just erased, Macintosh HD, to the Destination box.
After that finishes, could take a fair amount of time, you will have to start picking specific material from your latest backup to restore...DO NOT restore the whole backup as that will take you right back to Yosemite. -
How to remove an installed app from iMac?
I bought my iMac from an individual and I am getting an 'update available' box for Pages. When I click on it to download it I get a message to sign in w/previous owners info. Also, that I can buy a serial number for me. I haven't been able to do that. How can I remove Pages from my computer so I can buy it for myself?
Thank you for your help.Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
As it looks like Pages was installed from the App Store, you have two possibilities to uninstall the application:
1. Open Launchpad, hold Option key and press X button above Pages icon to uninstall the application.
2. Open Finder, select Applications on the sidebar and remove Pages.
After doing this, open App Store and purchase Pages, so it will be registered to your Apple ID and you will be able to update that app
