being told by apple support that i could use it in other devices
No idea who gave you that information but it's wrong.
Two different operating systems.
Lion is only available from the Mac App Store, not the iTunes storea and it can be confusing.
Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen. From the drop down menu click App Store.
That's where you downloaded Lion from.
You can also access the App Store from your Dock or your Applications folder.
You can see which Mac OS X you have installed by clicking the Apple menu icon again. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
If you see: Version 10.7.x ... that's Lion.
I think what support was trying to tell you is that you can re download apps from the Mac App Store that were purchased from there. Apps that run your Mac are for the Mac OS X. Apps that run on and iPod touch, iPad, or iPod run on the iOS.
To see your Purchase History, launch iTunes. Select iTunes Store in the source list on the left then click Sign In > View My Account then See All to the right of Purchase History. That will show all of your purchases both both the iTunes and Mac App Stores.

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server. It says check your user name and password are correct. Well they are, and were. Nothing has changed except the mac OS.
Has anyone else suffered this and knows a way around it? Too annoying to log into my mail every 15mins via a web page anymore.
Efforts tried to resolve this so far:
retyped user name and password, removed account and created a new account, restarted computer, software update, searched forums. so far all have proved unsuccessful.
I have also written to my mail provider and am waiting for feed back from them, but if anyone has any advice it would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Mike

Many users upgrading to Mountain Lion have run into this problem, myself included. You likely have corrupted settings for your "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts. Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to. Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column. When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line. Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server". Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

Hi kiwirudy,
I've had the same problem more than once since I started trying to download my 14 April purchase of OS X Mountain Lion.
I found a property list called manifest.plist in my ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder which had a Boolean property called failed checked. I unchecked it and afterwards I was able to resume my download.
Here are some steps I've found useful:
Close the Mac App Store.
make a copy of the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder. For some strange reason the Mac App Store likes to just delete it in some circumstances, which will mean that one has to start one's download again from the very beginning.
Double click on the manifest.plist in one's ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder.
This should open it in Property List Editor.
Expand all the nodes (holding down the alt key and clicking on the highest collapsed node should do it.
Find a key called failed of type Boolean and uncheck it.
Save the manifest.plist and close it.
Open the Mac App Store.
The red message "an error has occured" should now be gone and one should be able to resume one's download.
In the event that the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder gets deleted:
start the download again (it will start from the beginning), pause it and close the Mac App Store.
copy your backup copy of the pkg file back to its sub-folder (it's a numbered folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder).
Open the Mac App Store and resume your download.
It should continue from where it left off.
This has worked for me so far. I'm holding my breath. Don't know if I'll still be alive when it's finished.
Regards
Nic

I recently upgraded my Macbook Air to the mighty "Mountain Lion" and now I cannot seem to find my "notes", regardless of the countless answers given to people with questions similar to me.
Surely Apple wouldn’t make you lose all your important information-or they would be "bad apples".
If someone has a solution, please please please help me find my lovely notes! (Step by step would be most helpful). Cyber high fives and Smiles will be rewarded graciously.

I downloaded lion and now I cannot use Microsoft Office

I downloaded Lion and now I cannot use Microsoft Office...

Yeah, the problem is that Office 2004 is still the best
I actually like iWork WAY better than Office, and it can export into Office formats if you need it to. iWork is way more stable, easier to use, less "clunky", and has some cool features in it. However, I admit that Excel is better than Numbers.
Also, it's $80, not $200.

Trying to migrate from Mac-mini Tiger to Mac-mini Lion and Migration Assistant cannot find my Firewire, 400 to 800, "T" disk although it shows up in the new Mac's computer folder. It seems that Mac-mini Tiger is as it should be and the firewire cable is OK. Something about the Migration Assistant is being missed, but I have no idea what it is.

Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

Mmmm, try checking for available downloads from the store menu, if that doesn't help, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

I have just upgraded to Maverick and now I cannot find certain files. These JPG's are there on my hard drives however . I rely heavily on the search facility and this is slowing me down.

I have just upgraded to Maverick and now I cannot find certain JPG 's . These files do exist however I can find them manually . I rely on the search facility and this is slowing me down, I am having to trawl through stuff to find the file I want , before I would put in part of the title and the machine would find it.

In addition to what Allen says, you may find these search tools helpful:

You badgered me into installing the latest Itunes and now I cannot find my music nor my podcasts. Where the **** are they?

I was badgered into installing the latest Itunes and now I cannot find my music nor my podcasts. Where the **** did they go and how can I get them back? You folks at Apple sure make it hard to like you or want to use your products.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't normally lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the main iTunes library folder (and subfolders if possible) from any real-time scanning process.

How to report an issue with Your iTunes Store purchase

On my 1st visit to a certain website, Firefox _very briefly_ asked whether to remember my username and password. I was too slow: the dialog bar disappeared and now, I cannot find where to enter that logon info for my daily returns to that site.

On only the very first visit to a website, Firefox _very briefly_ shows a "Do you want Firefox to remember this password?" dialog bar at top right of screen.
The first time that I used Firefox to access this particular, and very often visited site, I missed that dialog bar. It disappeared before I had a chance to mark any one of the three boxes and now, I must enter my log-in information anew at every log-on to that site.
There _must_ be a way to get Firefox to give me a second chance for entering this info, but I cannot find how.
Can someone please help?

After first closing the site's browser window, I cleared the cookies with no problem.
Next, I opened up the page that is causing my problem. The Microsoft Security window opened up as it should and it was blank.
The option of whether I was using a public or a private
computer was blinking on 'public' as it should and I changed that to 'private'.
The lines for 'Domain/Username' and 'Password" were blank, as they should be at this time.
I entered whatever I had to on these two lines, then clicked on "log In". At no time, however, did the Firefox toolbar at top of screen (picture file attached) appear and ask whether to remember that password. Yes, the page now opened - and we are back to Square One.
I am aware that when entering the URL in the address box, a dropdown box opens and contains quite a few URLs identical to the one I am entering just now, or at least connected to pages of the same site.
I am wondering whether that is what's messing me up? But how can I clear these entries of "websites visited in the past from Firefox's memory?
In case you would want to see exactly what it is I am talking about, you might go to https://support.ataretail.com

My iPod Nano 6th generation iLive speaker system quit on me and now I cannot find a compatible speaker system. I don't want tiny personal speakers, I use this for music in the family room.

I have 2 iPod Nano 6th generation. I had them setup with different music from iTunes and I had an iLive Bluetooth docking and speaker system that charged and played them with speakers spaced in the family room. Not a little personal setup but for reasonably loud music for the whole room. My iLive system died on me. It had the 20 pin place to plug in the iPod nano and a clock and the two speakers that were bluetooth. It was the perfect setup for me. Now that model has been discontinued and I cannot find anything like it. Does anyone know what a good option is? These iPods are only a couple of years old and now obsolete because they don't make anything to play them on. I don't use earbuds, it's not what I bought them for. One has our jazz music collection, the other has Christmas music. I want to hear it throughout the house.

Sorry typo it had a 30 pin place to plug in the iPod Nano

Updated to ios8 and now I cannot find my purchased ringtones.

I just recently updated my iPhone 5s to iOS 8 and now my ringtones that I have purchased are gone.

Ringtones are not part of iCloud. You only get one download of ringtones.
Not sure if the purchase ringtones are included in the iCloud backup. Did you restore form backup?
