I don't think I will ever get the download done...

My internet connection is a not-very-reliable 4Mbps ADSL (and there's not many faster or better options where I live).   I've started the ML download more times than I can remember over the last few days, and every time something knocks it over before it gets to the end. I've switched off all the screensaver and powersaving options, but I cannot do anything about power or network outages.
It's never been as difficult as this before - I seem to remember it used to be possible to restart a broken download somehow. Where did that go? Also, there seems to be no indication of % or MB downloaded so far - just a very very slow worm on the M-Lion icon in the Lunchpad.
I'm using a late 2009 Mac Mini and I don't want to cart it and the monitor/keyboard/trackpad to the local Apple store where they don't have a network connection much better than mine.
Has the App Store been dumbed down to a non-functional status?

Hello:
According to this article, an interrupted download will resume automatically:'

The OS X 10.8 download took just over an hour on my 5 mb DSL line.

I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

I pad has a black screen what do I do I don't think I have ever backed it up to a computer

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

My daughters ipod touch was reset by accident and I don't think it was ever plugged into a computer. Is there a way to restore all the games she purchased on it?

Restore from iCloud backup if shed has one.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Think the app will ever show the red number icon in the upper right corner? Be nice to quickly see if a new podcast is available.

Agreed. I do not want to keep opening the app to see if there is new episodes to listen to.

If I make a new itunes account on my(now my 12 year old brother's) first generation ipod touch, will any data be deleted? I keep telling him that i don't think anything will be deleted and he keeps saying that he'll have to download everything again. Please answer. I've asked identical questions but received no answers.

It shouldn't be. You can use multiple Apple ID's one one device. But keep in mind that purchases made under one ID are permanently tied to that ID. So if you need to update an app that was purchased with a certain Apple ID, it will needed to be updated with those Apple ID credentials.

I keep getting the error message "apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install it again." I've done this twice and still keep getting the same message...I'm at wits end Please HELP!!!

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Read from the top of the link:
The Apple Product Registration website is closed.
If you’re trying to register an Apple product, chances are it’s already registered. Most Apple products can be registered when you turn them on for the first time and begin the setup process. Service and support for your Apple product are linked to its serial number, so it’s OK if you don’t register it.

Has your phone been jailbroken? If so, you will likely never get it to work again.
You can try placing your phone in DFU mode (search google) and restoring.

Will i get the new FXX channel?

hi,
I've been hearing things about the new FXX channel. I'm trying to figure out if I will get the channel when it launches. I do not have the Fox Soccer channel that I hear it is replacing, doe sthis mean I will not get the FXX channel?
thanks

Verizon Twitter support and Online Chat have both confimed that they "Don't know yet." I am on Prime HD in zip code 21060 and would like to know. Verizon Twitter support said: "Feel free to check our channel line up at that time. It depends on your zip code. http://vz.to/V0AeN3 ^DAA"

HT4972 Hi I have an iPad with iOS 612 and am trying to connect a wireless printer, I don't think it's doing it because I don't have iOS 10 or more. Is this right?.

If you want to use AirPrint - the buit in feature in iOS that allows you to print directly from the iPad without another app - you need to be using an AirPrint Printer. There is a list of those printers here.
AirPrint basics
If your printer is not on the list, you may still be able to use your current printer, but will need to purchase a printing app for the iPad from the App Store.
I don't understand you reference to iOS 10 unless you mean OS X10 for Mac.

If I buy a refurbished iPad (or iPod touch), will I get the iWork apps free?

Will I get the iWork and iLife apps for free if I buy a refurbished iPad (or iPod touch)?

As above, you will get the apps for free.
I strongly suggest that you buy your refurb ipad directly from the Apple online refurb store. We bought two last Summer - 2012. They have been great.
We haven't bought itouches refurbed, so not on top of their deals.
All refurbed ipads come with a brand new front and back cover, a brand new battery and a full one year warranty, including the 90 days of phone support. They come in a box and include the charger, just like a brand new ipad. It just says refurbished near the bottom of he box. If you buy from other retailers, even authorized resellers, their own rules apply and they will not have been refurbished by Apple. Also, in most cases, you only get the remainder of the warranty that the original owner did not use.
The great thing is you might consider increasing your gb space for still less than the cost of a new one. They are a bargain right now.
If you decide on what you want, check the certified refurb store and order it fast. Because they are on the site when available, they can come and go. Some are back the same day and some can take weeks. Shipping is fast and free in the USA.
After the intro of the ipad Air, the ipad 4 refurbed price came down another $30.00. I don't expect that to change anytime soon.
Whatever you decide to buy, enjoy.
Hope this helps.

When will Sweden get the new v50 firmware for noki...

When will Sweden get the new v50 firmware for nokia 5800? Why is our country amongst the last few to get available updates?

I live in the US. I should be the one complaining! As an American, I'm not used to waiting forever for everything. The US is a large market Nokia neglects. Of course, few of us buy its phones but that's the company's fault for making so many **bleep** models. Many nations don't even get updates at all! They're still stuck on firmware 3. Trust me, you have it good up there in Sweden.

If i buy a Macbook Pro online in a country with a special keyboard. Will i get the Mac with my country keyboard?
I want to buy it on sale this friday, so a quick answer will make me happy :)

You should - if you're in the UAE, for instance, you should get an Arabic keyboard (you may have to specify when you configure your machine - I don't know, I live in the US).
