I have an iMac 8.1 - 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1Gb Ram. I wish to upgrade to OS Lion which requires 2Gb RAM. Which 2Gb card would be the most suitable .

Go to crucial.com
Enter your specs, and buy as much as it'll hold. You'll be happy you did. I've been using them for years. Great company, and the best value for RAM in my opinion. And you don't want to mess with cheap RAM. It can mess EVERYTHING up...

Have MacBook Pro (ancient) has 2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo with 1 GB 667 MHz RAM using OS 10.4.11. Can I upgrade OS? If so, how far? And can I add more memory? I realize this is an old laptop but I need to wait to upgrade to new.

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

21.5" 2.4 ghz Intel core duo with 4 GB memory iMac w/ OS X 10.5.8

my 2008 21.5" 2.4 ghz Intel core duo with 4 GB memory iMac is running OS X 10.5.8 and has recently started over heating and locking up .... even with applications that it has never had problems with before .... I don't think it's capable of being upgraded any further, right? can I upgrade the graphics card or is that even worth it?

Your tems are fine, nothing at all to worry about. One thing you can do is shut down the computer, remove the RAM plate cover on the bottom and vacuum out the air intake. As for the spinning beach balls that isn't a freeze it means a process is busy. You can run Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and when you begin getting SBBOD look in AM and see if you see any processes using a large %CPU and also click the System Memory tab and look to see how much FREE RAM is available at that point in time. As a general rule of thumb OS X likes to have 500MB or more of FREE RAM, if you see it's at or below 500MB then a RAM upgrade is needed or you need to reduce the amount of open windows. The graphic will look similar to:
Also I'd strongly recommend carefully reading the XLab's Spinning Beach Ball of Death article. It's an excellent guide on how to trouble shoot spinning beach ball issues.

Uninstall it.
Now try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.
EDIT: Note, that while Apple says 2GB RAM is the minimum for 10.8, 4 GB really should be the minimum.
It would do you a world of good to install another 2 GB or more of RAM.

IMac 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB RAM

The Internet is frequently very slow. I am hard wired to the TimeWarner Motorola cable modem, but also have a new router with 5 GHz that has a Firewire port. Would my Internet speed increase substantially by hard wiring to the router by Firewire?
My MacBook with 4GB RAM is much faster via a wireless connection.
Thanks very much for any ideas or comments.

Unfortunately, connecting your iMac by Firewire directly to a router which then connects to the cable modem will Not increase the speed of your Interent connection relative to directly connecting your iMac to the cable modem. Your iMac's network speed is at your ISP's delivered maximum directly through the cable modem. All the router would add is the ability to share the cable modem's output signal among multiple connected computers. I believe you are experiencing the fact that the internal hardware (CPU, RAM, etc.) of your older iMac may be slower in processing the ISP's internet signal than your more powerful MacBook.
Hope this helps:)

I have a fairly elderly I Mac 7.1 (2.47 Ghz Intel Core Duo) operating OSX v 10.9.5. At the core level I find two Library folders, one within the System Folder and one by itself with the other core level folders - mostly same content. Is this right?

If you're referring to the operating system, right now you can upgrade to any version of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (10.6.7 is the most current as of today). Once you have Snow Leopard, you will then be able to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion when it's released, should you choose to do so.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Creating interactive tutorial content - Is Director the most suitable program to learn?

I have no experience using Adobe Director. I have just downloaded the trial version and had a look at a handful of tutorial videos. Before I get stuck in with it, I would appreciate advice on whether Director is suitable for my intended purposes:
I want to start making English language learning content and want to learn one or two programs for creating programs for online/apps,etc... I need to start learning something that I can start using quickly to create programs/internet pages/apps to create educational content with video, audio. Is Director the right choice?
A typical 'lesson' might consist of the following: A short video clip of real life or TV/film entertainment followed by interactive exercises / games for whatever area of language focus is chosen for the lesson. I imagine I would need to prepare my video outside the program first - chopping up the clips I want to use - perhaps chopping short clips e.g. one sentence phrases, and then perhaps extracting out the audio and using just that in various ways. I would want to add my own text and so on. I would obviously have to start out fairly basic but I want a program that can be expanded on as much as possible. For example, the ability to make the program store correct/incorrect responses and react accordingly - repeating content that students have not yet mastered, perhaps also creating audio clips... Would something like recording of student spoken performance also be possible - and at a stretch, bringing in voice recognition?? That would be way down the line - at the outset I would be happy with something that is more or less like a lesson - presentation with video as my main content, followed by a handful of interactive exercises.
At this stage I would focus on just one medium e.g. basic web page materials for my personal students to access for homework - but in future have the ability to transfer the lesson content to multimedia educational/games if that's possible.
I see there is a whole suite of Adobe products to choose from. Do I need to learn a handful of these, if so which? Also there is the issue of cost as at the outset I would be using this just for learning purposes and to use with my own students. I highly doubt my company would be willing to pay for the programs / subscription - at least until I have spent enough time creating content to get some decent useful results and for them to see the value in it. So I would be on my own at the outset in terms of putting the time in and paying to use the software.
I am aware that my questions may be extremely broad, perhaps not easy to answer succinctly - but any advice anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated - even if it's just to let me know that I am on the right track in guessing that Director will do the job. Suggestions for other programs that I could look at either as alternatives, or for use in conjunction with Director (what about Flash??).
It seems a massive program and I will need to learn a basic subset of tools within the program to get me started, so any guidance on narrowing down what I need to focus on would be a great help.
Any help/suggestions are very welcome

The answer is absolutely no to your question, "Is Director the most suitable program to learn?".
Director is a dead technology. Do not waste hundreds of hours learning it. Also forget Flash. It's going away. I would not waste time learning that either.
I suggest learning HTML5 & JavaScript. Obviously you can develop interactive multimedia for the web with these, but increasingly IDEs and frameworks are being developed that use these two languages; enabling you to write once and export to multiple platforms.
The following are some technologies that you should consider. Some are free. Others are free until you publish a title or want to upgrade to the professional version.
