The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x

Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

We have multiple users, each with multiple devices, on 1 apple id - as we want to share music and ibooks etc. We want the children to have access to the store, but with a financial limit. How do we do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

Make sure your computer is running smoothly on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8
Create a Backup Before Upgrading...
Then check your Mac is compatible with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.x
Upgrade to Mountain Lion

I am a novice. I have a few thousand iPhotos stored on Dropbox. But now I have a Canon T5i camera and want to get more involved in photography. I want to open a Lightroom and Photoshop account. I have a Windows desktop and an iPad. Will I have any compatibility issues with PC and Mac? Can I store my photos in Lightroom and eliminate my Dropbox account? Thanks.

You shouldn't have any compatibility issues. But you don't store images "in" Lightroom. Lightroom simply points to wherever the images are on your system. You might like to watch a few videos that can help you understand how Lightroom works.

I have the Photography CC subscription but want to add Muse

I have the Photography CC subscription but want to add Adobe Muse. Am I able to get a discount as an existing CC subscriber or do I have to pay the full 'single app' fee on top of my photography plan?
Thanks

There are no more discounts.
To add Muse, you'll have to pay the full Single App fee on top of your Photography Plan fee.

I have a Belgian Apple ID, but want to use the UK i-tunes store. I get a dialogue box saying "The Apple ID is only valid for purchases in The Belgian iTunes store". Is there any way around this? Thanks, Jackie

When you move to Portugal (very nice, I've just come back from visiting Cascais/Sintra/Sines ) I think you'll just get re-directed to Portuguese iTunes. When I moved to France from the UK I got re-directed to the French store.
To view UK programmes in France I used to subscribe to a VPN server through https://www.my-private-network.co.uk/ (there are others, but very pleased with their service). The catch-up channels (iPlayer, etc) think you're in the UK so you can watch the programmes online. Wouldn't work with iTunes UK store though .

If you used the Apple ID to buy content, you will need to maintain the ID to update or redownload the content. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another, nor does Apple merge Apple IDs.

iPhone sim, I have an vigin blackberry sim on contract, but want to get an iPhone 4 . Will my SIM fit in or do I have to try an get a special sim from vigin (micro sim). Also wil vigrin support an mico sim as I don't want to by an iPhone then have to sell it as I have 24 months left on my contract.

The iPhone uses a micro SIM. As for whether Virgin will support this, you will need to ask them.

HT5132 I have deactivated my mobile me, I've switched to iCloud. I have no albums to update but I still get the pop-up sign to move files, it locked up Aperture. I had to restore my Aperture files, I've restarted and it still wants me to move files.

I have deactivated my mobile me, switched to iCloud. I have no albums to update but I still get the pop-up sign to move files, it locked up Aperture. I had to restore my Aperture files, I've restarted and it still wants me to move files. Anyone have any suggestions?

Quit - or force quit - Aperture, if it is still trying to transfer MObile Me content.
Then relaunch. When the "Mobile Me has ended" panel appears press the "Learn More" button, not the "o.k." button.
Then you should be able to open the Preferences in Aperture and and open the "Web" panel. Remove "Mobile Me" from the Accounts pane.
Then also open the System preferences > Mobile Me panel and check if you are still signed into Mobile Me.
If this does not work, try to disconnect from the Internet before you launch Aperture again.

TS3274 I only have a 16gig ipad. I have bought some music that I want to get rid of so that I can sync with my laptop but don't know how to delete stuff from the ipad. My library on the ipad is 4 gigs bigger than the ipad anyway.

I have a 16gig ipad. I want to get rid of quite a bit of stuff that I have purchased to create space because I can't sync with my itunes library on my laptop. I dont know how to delete from the ipad. Can anyone help please? Terry

Typically you can delete content on the iPad one of two ways - swipe across an item in list view to bring up a red delete button or tap and hold down on an icon to bring up an X to delete option.
Why dont you connect your iPad to your laptop and transfer the purchases and then select exactly what you want to sync to the iPad. You don't have to delete anything this way.

I have an ipod video and I want to get a shuffle too on same pc....

I have an ipod video, and i want to get an ipod shuffle, but do not know if that will cause some type of confusion with itunes. I tried hooking up my girlfriend's ipod to my laptop and I couldn't drag any songs to her ipod. Will I have this same issue with the shuffle?

- Do you have to right boxes checked in the Tones pane of iTunes for the iPod to get them synced to the iPod:
- Were the tones purchased with the same account as all the other media on the iPod?

How do I get my music onto icloud from my ipad? I can see i have plenty of icloud storage but can't get my music to store on icloud hence taking up lots of storage on my ipad

If you want to be able to access your entire music library from iCloud, you'll have to subscribe to iTunes Match (http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). Music purchased from the iTunes store is already in iCloud as it can be redownloaded at any time (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

quicken should work with lion.
Quicken Essentials will work with Lion. Most people that have used Quicken for a while (i.e. Quicken 2007) have found that Quicken Essentials isn't much better than a basic spreadsheet. It is a significant step down from previous versions and does not offer many of the features previously offered. Right now, it seems like the two most common options are iBank and MoneyDance.
Frankly... this is a major opportunity for these companies. The largest commercial distributor of this type of product has been Intuit (Quicken). That makes it hard for any other company to get any of that market as so many people were already using Quicken and may have had years of data stored in it. Now, with Quicken effectively out of the picture, it's a great chance for another company. Just imagine if iPhones were suddenly off the market. That would give other manufacturers a tremendous opportunity since they wouldn't have to fight an up hill battle against a market giant.
