I am new to Mac. I own an iphone and an ipad but have always used a PC for my business use.  I bought a used Powerbook G4 and all is well EXCEPT I cannot get a program to download from a CD. I think it's an easy fix so HELP!

A few questions ....
What is the program you are trying to download? It is a mac version?
Is this a vendor's CD or a copy or ?
What error message or other indication do you get that says the download won't happen?

  • I'm new to Mac and cannot figure out how to upload photo's from my iPhoto library to eBay for the purpose of selling. Can anyone help?

    I'm a seller on eBay and very new to Mac. I just started to list an item when I got to the area of uploading  pictures of an item to my listing. I cannot figure out how this is done. I downloaded pictures from my camera to iPhoto and they apear not only in my iPhoto library but in an eBay folder/album I created. When I go to upload photos I cannot find my photos in either the Library or the eBay album. I've tried using both the basic uploader and and standard uploader choices provided by eBay.

    While running iPhoto you'll need to select the pictures you want to use for eBay and then select Export from the File menu. The Export Dialog box has several options and I believe the second option is File Export - that's the option you want to choose. Now you can select the picture quality, size, and export. The file selector will appear so you can indicate the folder you want the pictures to be exported into. Now you can take the next step, sending them to eBay.

  • I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
    You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
    The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
    For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

  • HT4623 I purchased an audiobook in I tunes on my computer, but cannot figure out how to download it on my phone....it always lets me download purchases of movies and tv shows but doesnt show an option for audiobooks

    Oh alright -- I manage to resolve my own stupidity quite abruptly, actually.
    Shortly after posting this, I annoying took another gander at iTunes Store settings. To my own idiocy, I must have unchecked "Show iTunes purchases in the cloud" at some point. In my defense, though, the availability of songs in iCloud threw me off quite a lot.
    Ha ha -- anyways, if anyone else is having the same problem, check there.

  • I cannot figure out how to download iPhoto 9.6 on my reset Mac.

    Help.  I had iPhoto on my Mac but then I had to have it rebooted to Factory Settings and I can no longer get it.  When I try to install it says that the computer needs to be 10.10 and mine is 10.9.  Any solutions?  Thanks!

    If you have a backup of your hard drive, i.e. Time Machine or other type of full disk backup, you can restore the iPhoto application from date just before you reset back to Factory Settings.  Otherwise you'll need to follow Kappy's recommendation.

    I had an issue with my Mac and now when I open PS CC it tells me programs are missing a too re-install it.  I go to the download centre and hit download but nothing happens.

    Direct download follow download instructions to the letter or you'll be denied access Download New Adobe CC Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant/Manager) | ProDesignTools
    Install on top of current install then use menu Help>updates to get fixes.  That way you still have your preferences an addition you added to it. on Windows it works that way. Mac maybe...

  • Cannot figure out how to copy saved library from external drive to new pc

    I had to reformat the PC that housed my iTunes collection. I backed up my iTunes library to an external drive according to the instructions posted here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    Now, I am unable to get the data back on to my reformatted PC with the playlists, etc., intact. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    Press *and hold* the shift key while starting itunes. When prompted, choose to open an existing library.
    Browse to the ITL file you backed up on the exHD.
    The ITL database file is what holds all the metadata you're missing.
