Make sure your system is compatible:
To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Find out if your current Mac has one of these processors by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, then choosing About This Mac.
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
Get up to date with the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard to purchase OS X Lion. If you have Snow Leopard, click the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install version 10.6.8.
If you are running OS X Snow Leopard you may purchase OS X Lion for $19.99 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. You will receive an email containing a content code to download OS X Lion via the Mac App Store.
If you're running OS X Leopard, you need to upgrade to OS X Snow Leopard prior to upgrading to OS X Lion. OS X Snow Leopard is available via DVD for $19.99 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

hi I just bought the airport express, plugged it in and opened my airport utilities on my macbook and it doesn't seem to recognise it anyone have an idea what I should do?
If you are trying to configure the AirPort Express using wireless, you must first log on to the wireless signal that the Express is broadcasting to establish a connection.
Look for a wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx where the "x" could be a number or letter. No password is required to log on.
Most folks find it easier to temporarily connect using an Ethernet able as stic suggests in his post....if you have one handy. Once the device is configured, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable. -
I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?
Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad if a movie listing does not show then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
Or launch the Video App and look for them there
if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
Hope this helps -
I Just purchased a used MacBook Air but it has no OS, how can I re-load the OS?
I Just purchased a used MacBook Air but it has no OS, how can I re-load the OS?
It depends on which operating system was on it when it was released. Older MBAs need disks or a special thumb drive to boot for OS recovery.
Let’s assume it is new enough that it has a recovery partition built in. You can try this and see if it works and if it doesn’t work then it is old enough to need he aforementioned recovery media.
It is simple. First you format the system disk and then you install OS X.
You will need to be in an area with a good wireless Internet signal.
Boot in Recovery Mode:
Power it on and when you hear the bong hold down the Command and R keys simultaneously.
Format the system disk:
> Disk Utility
> Select your system drive.
> Partition
> Partition Layout: 1 Partiton
> Options...
> GUID Partition Table
> OK
> Name: Macintosh HD
> Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
> Apply
> Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility
Install OS X:
> Click on Install OS X and follow the instructions. -

I just bought the mac book pro retina. Im not good on the computer. I do the basics. Does any one know of the newest and easiest step by step book I can get so I can learn how to use it?
Mac for Dummies is a pretty good beginners' guide. But whatever you buy make sure it is a very recent edition, one that is relevant for the operating system on your MBR. The OS is updated regularly and guide books can become out of date.
By the way, iOS is not a Macintosh operating system. On the top left of the Maac screen, click the black Apple icon, then select About This Mac. The operating system is shown there. -
Hi i just want to know i bought the creative cloud and photoshop and premiere. All those and it said annual meaning i have to pay for the next year right? But why did it said that i have to pay for the next month? What happens when i didn't pay the next month ?
You may buy an annual subscription and pay monthly, or a straight monthly subscription... and, being a subscription, if you stop paying the software stops working
If you want a one time payment, and you can use 3+ year old software, go to Creative Suite 6 -
As the title says I want to change the platform for a serial number so I can install it on my Mac. I know from searching on Adobe's help pages that you can request a platform or language swap, but the link they instruct you to use has been under maintenance since october last year? Is there another way around this? Thanks for all your help.
CS5 does not qualify for a platform swap. Adobe allows platform changes for the latest version only, which is CS6. The information regarding that is available thru the foillowing page...
Order product | Platform, language swap
If you just purchased the software then you should be able to return it to whatever third party vendor sold it to you for an exchange for the Mac version. -
I bought an Epson WorkForce 645 for my MacBook Air but can't get it installed, what am I doing wrong?
I just finished installing an Epson Workforce 545 on Lion. This info is valid as of early March 2012. The trick seems to be this: DON'T install using the CD that comes with the printer. DON'T download the driver from Epson.
First do an Apple Software Update to make sure the machine is up-to-date. Then simply open the Printer & Scan preferences and add the Epson printer. It will download the driver directly from Apple and you will be good to go. If you do install the bad drivers from Epson, you have to remove the /Library/Printers/EPSON folder and also anything EPSON in the Cache folder, then start over. -

If you do have password setup on your computer & you get a window asking for one for an app, leave the entry blank and click the OK button or whatever button it has.
Care to share which OS you are using? -
Just bought the MSIGE70-2PE had some questions/concerns
I just bought the MSI GE70-2PE and i am curious about a few things it seems to run very hot and i didn't know if this may or may not be a defective model... i mean its hitting when i play WoW 95+ C which i know is extremely hot and i have tried turning off turbo boost and lowering the battery to eco/power save and it still hits that. Also the wifi will randomly drop and i will have to turn it off and reboot to get it back.
I was wondering if fellow owners have had this issue or know of any fixes to keep it lower temp.
I understand its a gaming laptop but these temps seem too hot to where it could degrade the components over time also i am using a cooling pad and the laptop is not even a week old.
Thanks so much

*thanks for the quick response.
my router is LINKSYS e900
and i have contacted MSI(USA) as well to see what they think of the issue.
I was just wondering if fellow owners may have run into this issue and on the cooling pad i do have one
Re-pasting cpu/gpu voids your warranty apperently but MSI do have premission in EU for owners of laptop to open it and do RAM upgrade or replace of broken RAM with new ones and so on but when it comes to repasting cpu/gpu would need you to send laptop to msi service so they can do it since that can apperently void the warranty if you do it yourself. -

Dear Moh Nasser,
Your Apple ID was just used to purchase OS X Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID. You may also be receiving this email if you reset your password since your last purchase.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not make the purchase yourself.
If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple
<Email Edited by Host>Try contacting the Mac App Store support folks -> http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.
They will be able to help.

Negative values only possible for integer???
Hi everybody. the value for a DEC KYF results in a negative figure in a FOX (-0.87). The value saved is the absolute value of the result (0.87). For an integer KYF results calculated as negative are also saved as negative, but not for the DEC KYF.
