I have a 2006 iMac running Lion 10.75. can I run Airplay Mirroring on this machine

The problem I'm facing is that I cannot make any changes to anything because my home folder is no longer found. I can't even reset it to boot from something other than the installed OS (OS X 10.6.80. Is there any solution to this problem? I have made a USB drive bootable but cannot get the machine to boot off of that either. I am at my wits end. Please help!

I haven't changed any settings regarding region codes

You may have run discs from different regions,these would be commercial DVDs. If so most DVD players need to be told what region the disc is from. Have you done this by chance, if you are not sure look at the region numbers listed on the commerical DVDs you have and see if some use different numbers.

I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion. how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

There is your problem. DVDs that ship with a Mac are machine specific. You will need to purchase a retail copy of the DVD $29.

I installed Ilife'11: when I open IDVD it doesn't find the Idvd themes.
What is happening?

To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

I have a 2006 iMac with an upgraded 640 gb hard drive. I seem to to be out of space, but if i add all the items, I get a different (100 gb!) answer than the Finder. Why?

I have a 2006 iMac with an upgraded hard drive, 640 gb. recently i've noticed that the Finder keeps saying I only hve 12 gb available. it lists 18 items under macintosh HD and if (using Get Info) you add up those 18 items I only come up with just over 500 gb of space. Where the other 140 gb's??

Here are some links as there are too many answers for this general question:

It's not just iTunes you need to update...
You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 at the very least in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPod touch.
See iPod touch system requirements here.
Leopard is available from Amazon here.

Upgraded to lion but now can not run parallel desktop.

Anyone can solve it?

Do you have Parallels Desktop 6? That is the version you need to have it run under Lion.

I have recently upgraded to mountain lion and I can not get the calendar application to work. I con appears on the side put on calendars. Any suggestions

I have recently upgrades to Mountain Lion and I can not get the calendar utility to come alive. Icon appears in the tast bar but the application does not launch or appear to be any where else. Any suggestion?

Did you look in the Applications folder for Calendar? If it is there, remove the item that is in the Dock and replace it by dragging the Calendar application to the Dock.
If it is not there, did you have iCal located somewhere other than the Applications folder when you upgraded?

A. Have you gone in to 'manage your iCloud?', and have you rebooted your iPhone. I think the idea is to delete yor previous backups and start with a new one.

I have bought a time capsule to use as time machine device. Until now I have used a external hard disk. How can I transfer the the old time machine datas to the time capsule?

This is really difficult to the point of not really worth it.
Keep the old TM backups in archive.. and start afresh on the TC.
Time Machine has a different way of backing up on Network drives cf Local drives.
Pondini does have a method to do it... but I would not recommend it.

I have a 2006 iMac and currently run Snow Leopard. I want to upgrade to Lion, but don't know if my computer is too old to run OS 10.7

I was hoping to upgrade to Lion 10.7 in order to utilize iCloud with my iPhone. However, I cannot determine if the OS 10.7 is compatible with an 2006 iMac. I am currently running Snow Leopard. Everything I've looked at on the Apple Site shows the newer OS on a laptop with a touch pad. Does this disqualify an iMac?

Correct, they are different generations of processors. The Core 2 Duo being a 64bit processor. The Core Duo being 32 bit. Lion needs a 64 bit processor.
You would think the chip manufacturers could come up with more distinct names. :-)
