Hi...
Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts
Control-F4
Move focus to the active (or next) window
Shift-Control-F4
Move focus to the previously active window
By the way... since you are new to Mac, click a clear space on your Desktop. You should see "Finder" top left corner of the screen in the menu bar.
Click Help then click Help Center
As an example type in keyboard shortcuts
You can use the Help menu for almost any application on your Mac.

Tunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases. -
i have just bought a macbook pro and i want to use an ext hard drive with it which i previously used on a windows computer, but when i plug it in it doesn't show up on my macbook pro, I've wiped it and just need to format it but don't know how, any help would be much appreciated
Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen. -
I have just purchased a MacBook Pro and iWork's. When I try to upload documents using iCloud, it now wants me to purchase iWorks for iOS ? Do I need to purchase both versions?
To be able to use documents at iCloud.com, you need at least one iOS device that uses the same account with at least one of the iWork apps installed.

Since I installed a clean rebuild of my system my track pad and mouse will not open a folder or file using a double click. I have to use Apple key plus O. I have checked the preferences but cannot see anything that will help me.
While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

On the MacBook launch iTunes.

Now sync your iPhone.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Are you inserting the redeem code in the App Store or in the iTunes Store? You've received two emails, one with the password to open the file and another one with the file with the code. Are you typing the redeem code or the password in the App Store? -
I have just purchased a macbook pro and now it wont accept my administrator password
how do i reset my admin password
When you initially set up your system it should have run you through the setup assistant where you created your account (or migrated from an older system). After doing this, were you able to log into your system at least once successfully? Since the last time you were successfully able to log in, have you made any significant changes to the system, such as installing an application or any updates?

Good Evening, I have just purchased a Macbook Pro, and have downloaded two SD cards of a trip to USA and Canada last September. One via Lightrooom 4 and the other via iPhoto. I tried to import the SD card via iPhoto into Lightroom 4 but could not find it. I tried to find this "folder"? via other means with no success. however when I open iPhoto, there it is, so it must be on the Hard Drive somwhere??? I am new to Apple having decided to jump ship from Windows. Would be grateful for any help.
iPhoto is a - like Lightroom - Photo Manager. It's a database. Like any db to get data out you have to export it.
File -> Export
and in this case set the Kind to Original.
iPhoto is a $15 app, LR is somewhat more expensive. As they both want to manage the photos there's no good usage scenario where you use both. Pick one horse and ride, essentially.
This User Tip

has details of the options in the Export dialogue. -
