I cannot access my iphoto application on my imac as it says I have made changes in Iphoto using a newer version. We have recently purchased a Macbook Air and this has Lion (as opposed to leopard on the iMac) and we are sharing photos between the 2. I am awaiting the upgrade discs for snow leopard and then to Lion for the iMac but is there a way to access my photos until this arrives?

I have recently purchased my I PAD2 and would like to know about flash player

I have recently purchased my I pad and would like to know about Flash Player and what to download if any
thanks

Skyfire web browser is the most popular app that will allow you to view Flash content on many, but not all websites. iOS devices don't support Flash natively due to stability and battery drain issues. It's agood move overall, and most websites send HTML5 content to iOS devices. But the transition isnt complete, so you'll still find that you can't view video on some sites.
Flash based games are pretty much out.

i have recently purchased a macbook pro and i gave my macbook to my wife, how can she recover the apps i bought and paid for so she can use the Pages, Numbers and Keynote

If you bought/paid for them in the Mac App Store, you would just need to sign in to the MAS with the Apple ID you used to purchase them, go to purchases, and click install.
As for the limited licensing that Bordy brought up, the TOS for the MAS states:
"Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for your personal use."
If you installed them from an iWork disc, just pop the disc back in and reinstall.

Airparrot is your only option in my opinion. I have not tried it myself yet but here is a link to their website. They offer a trial so check it out.

Hi, My desktop pc died recently. That was the computer that I used for my Itunes purchases. I have recently purchased a Macbook pro and tried to transfer info from the dead pc hard drive to my mac,how do I sync without losing apps?

When i try to sync my Iphone on my macbook pro I am told that I will lose any apps previously purchased while I was using a since crashed pc harddrive. I have authorized my macbook as a second computer but am not able to sync. Is there a way I can transfer my apps from my phone onto the macbook and then sync with my family members phones on the same account?

On the MacBook launch iTunes.
From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Now sync your iPhone.

I have recently purchased a Nikon D7100 and can no longer use Photoshop CS5 to process RAW files.What are my solutions ?

I am sure this has been asked before for similar new camera buyers, but as I have made a sizeable investment in purchasing PS 5 less than one year ago, I expect ADOBE to have an upgrade available for my new Nikon D7100 camera.
Other Software makers usually have upgrades available to download for new cameras not long after they are released.
I have seen on some photography forums where other users of my camera model have asked the same question as myself without receiving any positive advice other than to up grade to PS 6. A few suggestions do not work or are possibly illegal.
Under consumer laws, in many countries, software makers are obliged to maintain support for a reasonable period of time after release.
Come on Adobe, please help the many thousands of PS 5 and Lightroom users to use the Adobe software that they have purchased in good faith and we will move to PS 6 or 7 or 8 when we are ready.
Can we please expect an answer to this problem any time soon ?

Why did you purchase an obsolete version? One year ago Photoshop CS6 had already been out a while.
According to this list
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
support for that camera was added with Camera Raw 7.4, which means CS6 at least.
Come on Adobe, please help the many thousands of PS 5 and Lightroom users to use the Adobe software that they have purchased in good faith and we will move to PS 6 or 7 or 8 when we are ready.
This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
Adobe is not in the habit of adding support for new cameras to obsolete versions of Camera Raw.
But it offers the free DNG Converter.
Edit: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows
And camera makers are free to adopt DNG if they want to make their cameras’ output easily editable with non-proprietary software, but it seems many of them simply don’t want that.

New computer and setting up itunes and sych iphone new to new computer

hi guys,
Just formatted my hard drive i did backup the iTunes folder inthe c:\users\name\my music\c folder e.g. apps music etc and i did also backup the apple computer folder in the c:\users\name\ app data\roaming\applecomputer folder(which has the iPhone and iPad backups in it),
I have just formatted my hard drive how do i restore iTunes? do you just authorise the computer and then click and drag the music folder into iTunes so all the apps and music go into iTunes and then do you copy and paste the apple computer folder (from the app data folder) to the new computers app data folder? then just plug in the iPhone and sych?
http://blog.deversus.com/2011/02/how-to-sync-iphone-with-new-computer-windows-to -mac/
i did some reading and couldn't find much on how to restore iTunes from a backup there is heaps showing how to back it up! I did find this in the apple discussion forum. ( i think its for people who havennt made a copy of the applecomputer folder.
I just want to recover my itunes so i can just plug in my iphone and i dont loose data from when i did the backup 2 weeks ago, i can just plug in and contine like being on my old computerI
(By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from her phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are replacing your GF's computer, her phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to her phone or music ripped on her own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from her phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on her phone will be in her itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.)
What do you guys reckon?
Thanks!

This is the process I would have recommended:
Backup your library using this User Tip.
Deauthorise the old computer if you won't be using it for iTunes.
Restore the library into the music folder on the new computer.
Install iTunes and sign in to your account.
For the "restore" process you can either just copy the backed up iTunes folder into the new computer or install and set up SyncToy to manage the transfer. If you install iTunes before restoring the library then you should delete/rename the existing empty iTunes library in your profile's music folder first.
Reconnecting an old iOS device backup set into a new iTunes installation is actually quite tricky, but provided the library has been properly conserved it is an unnecessary step. A library transferred as outlined above will be the same library the device was previously synced with, albeit on a different computer/operating system, and there should be no problem syncing media or apps. Info content such as calendar and contacts may need a little more care to make sure the same applications have as used previously have been installed and their data restored to them.

HT1449 move shared iTunes music folder to a new computer and set up

Hello;
I am trying to set up 2 new iTunes accounts on our new computer...
In our old we each had an iTunes accounts with our own libraries but the music files were in a shared music folder.
I copied the shared music folder from our old computer on to an external drive and then copied it to Users/shared/itunes music
I then pointed both new Itunes to that location for the music but when I open itunes in both it does not show anything..
I also copied the old iTunes folder to each new account
Why are the 2 new iTunes acct not seeing the music?
I do not care so much about playlists etc..just wanted the music transferred over in the shared file..(music combined Itunes purchases plus ripped CD..)
Thanks

You are encountering one of the major disadvantages with having library files in one place and media in another. You do not get iTunes to see moved media by changing media storage location in preferences. That only changes the location for anything added from that point on, it does not get iTunes to actively search the new location. This problem is really amplified by you moving media to a new drive.
If it were just one user you could use iTunes to do the moving by using consolidate/organize your media to the new location and the library doing that would work, but the other one wouldn't.
Try this. Play a track. iTunes will ask you to find the file it should use. Find it in its new home. iTunes should ask if you want it to find others and see if it can. This only works if you have iTunes set to automatically organize your library.

When using Firefox -loging to Yahoo mail - see account but then get error page says i have lower resolution than 1024xx600- have new computer and set at 1600x900, cleared out past history etc but does the same - can log in w/chrome but not firefox

I don't know what else to say

That can happen if you zoom Yahoo mail websites. 
Yahoo uses a script to check the screen dimensions and zooming a page affects the window and screen width and height settings.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

I have recently changed my email address and want to change my iTunes account to it how can i do this

I recently closed my yahoo account which my icloud was linked to and I want to change it all to my new email account how can i do this

This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621. After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID. To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.
If you are signed into your account on your Mac, you will need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

I bought a movie on my ipad but it wont download, i bought a movie on my ipad but it wont download

i bought a movie on my ipad and it wouldnt download because i didnt have enough icloud storage . when i got icloud storage avaliable the movie didnt continue to download. pleeasseee helpp !!!

Are you sure it said you "didnt have enough icloud storage"? Insufficient iCloud space should not prevent downloading to the device, only insufficient space on the device.

Just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes again and when I log in all my old music is not there. I created a new playlist but it won't sinq to iphone without erasing all my other songs.

I just bought a new computer and set it up. Downloaded itunes again and logged in; however, all of my old content is not there. I just created a new playlist and want to sinq it to my phone but get a message saying it will delete all of my old songs. Please help

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
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 for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

How can I get my data from my touch to a new computer and i-tunes account

I have authorized the new computer and set up sharing but I cant seam to import my play list from the other computer, and will I lose all my apps if I plug my touch into the new computer. Please help

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPOd from that backup.

HT5312 I got a new computer and forgot my apple security questions, how can I reset?

I just got a new computer and I cant remember my apple security questions.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
