I just bought a new desktop and will be taking my old one to the apple store tomorrow to have the data transferred. Does the transfer include the transfer of programs or just data?

They will simply use Migration Assistant to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. This is something you could do yourself. You would need a Firewire cable to connect between your old computer and your new one. Migration Assistant is installed in the Utilities folder of your new computer.
See Transferring files between two computers using FireWire and How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac.

After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one, When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine. How do I correct this. I am using Windows 8.1 . My wife has never had an iTuunes account
Hello Lakesidetom,
It sounds as though you are experiencing an issue with an Apple ID and authorizations. Based on your post, it sounds like you are familiar with the authorizing and deauthorizing process. The Apple ID in question (your wife's email) may be originating from the iPhone you are attempting to update. Is it possible that your wife created an Apple ID or iCloud account which is signed in on that iPhone? Below, I have included links to some resources that may help you determine if your wife has created an Apple ID:

After installing the discs I tried to enter the serial number and an alert said the serial was already used.

My old computer wouldnt let me authorize me to play my songs even though I submitted the password and Windows ID. Now I bought a new computer, and I cannot get my old songs back. What do I do?
This can be resolved through a phone call to Apple, provided you can pass the verification process: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
You'll need to speak to someone in Account Security. -

I've encountered 4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0). AFTER SOME RESEARCH IN APPLE COMMUNITY, I LEARNT THAT IT'S A HARDWARE ISSUE. SO I WILL BE TAKING MY MACBOOK PRO TO NEAREST APPLE STORE. MY QUE IS, WILL IT BE FIXED IF I UPGRADE FROM OSX 10.8.5 TO MAVERICKS? What other options do I have? What can be an approximate cost for fixing this problem?
Of course not. It's a hardware problem, so it can't be fixed by upgrading software. The only option you have got is to take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller.
That error indicates a problem with the hard drive. What you have to do is to make a backup of your files and take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller, so they can confirm that the problem is the hard drive and not the SATA connector, which could be worse.
If it's a hard drive issue, it's not expensive (about $100-200, depending on the hard drive). If it's a SATA connector issue, the whole logic board may have to be replaced.
Note that you can replace the hard drive yourself if you want, but the cost between doing it yourself and taking the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller is similar -

I had to reformat the hard drive on my old desktop. It is runninf Windows XP. I can't get Internet Explorer to work so I can connect to the internet via wireless. Is there a way I can download firefox from my new desktop onto a flas drive and then install Firefox from the flash drive onto my old desktop? If so, please explain the procedure.
Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either. -

I bought a new itouch and my mac is too old to sync w/it...
Yesterday I purchase a touch. I got home and tried to sync it with itunes on my mac that is about five years old. It did not see it because it could not support the newest version of itunes. So now i am going to use my hp netbook as the main computer for my i touch. The problem is i can't find a way to transfer my itunes library over to my netbook. I have tried mobile me: the mac is too old to support mobile me, and i have tried to burn CDs but the netbook doesn't see them, and even using a flash drive...
HELP!UPDATE: i have found a way, and i feel stupid for not thinking of it, all i did was authorize my new computer to transfer purchases and now its all fine.

Deactivate it on the old computer. Do you have the installation file and/or disc and the serial number? If so, just install it.
What version?
