I just purchased a software upgrade to OSX Lion. I received an e-mail that says, "To install your software, you simply launch the Mac App Store, click "Redeem"• found under Quick Links and enter your content code(s). How do I "launch the Mac App Store?"

Assuming you are running OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.7.x Lion, 10.8.x Mountain Lion or 10.9.x Mavericks), go to the Apple Menu (top left-hand corner of the screen)>App Store and it should become clear from there.

I have a new Mac Mini. When I start it, the message and mail program's open automatically. How do I change this?

When I boot up my Mac Mini, the mail and message program's open automatically. How do I stop this?
I heard that all program's that are open when shutting down, will open again on booting up. I always close all program's before shutting down!

Go to preferences and General and be sure the box is checked that states to close all programs on exit. Also, right clcik your mail icon in the dock and under options be sure the open at login is not checked.

From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor

Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

Hey all, i have an old iphone 3G and would like to get it up and running for my wife... thoughts/suggestions about which iOS will work best/at all?

help

OK, try this: First make sure that all anti-virus software & any firewalls are completely turned off...nothing running. Then do the following:
Turn your phone off...in your case, it's already off, so proceed: Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

I have CS 4 Design Premium CS4 (Mac) and would like to get replacement for my faulty Install DVD

Any suggestions how I can do this?

We cannot provide you any replacement DVD for DP CS4 as its a very old product and we donot have the installer for that. However, you can use the below link to download DP CS4 but make sure to read the download instructions properly.

We have 2 computers that need to be wired. We have 2 iPads that need to be wireless. We have 2 floors and would like to run the stereo from a third wireless Mac. Suggestions, please?

We have 2 PCs (Windows 7)that are wired. We have 2 iPads that are wireless. We will get a Mac Pro to load all our CDs onto it and would like to play music through the stereo system using an airport. We have a wired/wireless router upstairs and the stereo is downstairs.
Would an Airport work with this configuration?
Thanks.

I have a similar set up to the original poster (cable modem with Airport Express on 3rd floor, iMac on first floor kitchen, wirelessly streaming music to our stereo on first floor living room which also has an Airport Express). We have a good cable connection to our house usually 10 - 30 Mbs, and a strong Airport wireless signal everywhere, but it's impossible to get smooth audio. It works for a while, maybe 10 mins or so, hen drops out, comes back for another 3 or 4 mins, then drops out again.... eventually stopping completely.If I just plonk my iPhone 4 down a few feet from the stereo, I can stream iTunes, or Pandora al night with no problems, no interruptions!!
I thought I'd get a better "boosted" signal by using the Airport Express attached to the living room stereo, but it doesn't seem to make any difference?
What's the solution? Any tips for getting a better audio connection?
Thanks!

I downloaded Firefox 4 onto my PowerPC G4 1.67GHz running Mac OSX 10.5.6. When I try to open it I get error message You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. I can't find my Firefox 3.6.16 I'm on Safari.

Use Tony's suggestion. I am running it right now and it is awesome. I love Mozilla but they basically screwed all of those older Macs over. Come on Mozilla. These Macs still work, and there are plenty of people with them out there.

If it's a Core Duo Mac, no.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X DVD, and if the computer can't run 10.8, a download code for 10.7.

Are there any known issues running MAC OS X 10.8.5 on my IMAC and MAC OS X 10.6.8 on my MAC Server?

Are there any known issues running MAC OS X 10.8.5 on my IMAC and MAC OS X 10.6.8 on my MAC Server?

To answer the obvious question. No. None that I've seen. But it may depend on what you mean exactly?
Connecting to file sharing service - None that I've seen
Connecting to Open Directory (assuming proper configuration) - None that I've seen
Using the Server's Mail Service (assuming proper configuration) - None that I've seen
I can say the same about anything else the Server may or may not be offering.

I am running MS Office for Mac 2008 on my MacBook Pro. I do not have the Standard and Formatting toolbar fixed into position, as I would expect and would like. I can access them via the View menu, where I have to select and de-select them before I can get them to display, but lose them when I log off. Can anyone help? I have tried all the usual and supplied help facilities to no avail. Thanks

Post the question in Microsoft's own Office for Mac forum.

Only if you cannot upgrade to Mavericks.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. 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
