I just ordered my Mac Air & how to obtain my Snow lepard

Hi
I am new to Mac computers [This my first ever Mac]
I find on the apple site about the new release of the OS-Snow Lepard.
I have ordered my Mac Air on the 27th of August-two days ago and awaiting delivery.
Will I have the new OS or Have I got to pay to buy Snow Lepard. If I am eligible for a free up grade how should I go about gettig it?
Thank you for your kind help

You should receive the unit with Snow Leopard installed, along with the install disc. Enjoy your new MacBook Air!

I just purchased a mac air and cannot figure out how to get my pictures from my toshiba windows to the air into iphoto and I also cannot get my library of music and apps to get to the mac air as well. Each time I try to synch it tells me it will repace my ipad and iphone with the blank library from the new air. How do I get my music, apps and photos to the air. I just subscribed to imatch and it charged me and only has 600 of my 2,000 songs!

You must move your photos and music from your Toshiba to your MBA directly, not using the iPhone. The Migration Assistant app on your Mac will help.

Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine. You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby)

Had it with Dell, just ordered a Mac Mini

For a number of reasons (that are so boring it will likely kill anyone who reads them so I won't post them here) I am going to throw my 6 month old top of the line Dell XPS in the pool.
I just ordered a Mac Mini and I can't tell you how happy I am. However I was wondering if there is anything I should expect, we warned of when I make the conversion.
Are there any problems I should expect?
How hard is it to get my "Stuff" from a pc to a Mac?
Will I be able to read/use my excel and word files?
Will the Mac work with my Dell monitor? It's a pretty nice monitor 27" inch monitor, and besides the fact that it has the Dell name on it there's nothing wrong with it. I've seen a couple of posts here that people are unable to connect the Mac to a TV through an HDMI port.
After getting the iPhone I knew that I had to make the move to Apple and I can't wait. Any info would be appreciated.

Welcome!
Most word processing and spreadsheet and photo files could be easily moved by putting them on an inexpensive USB "thumb" or "flash" drive. That's how I would transfer them. Or you could burn them to a CD or DVD on your DELL.
Your Mini should have a trial version of Mac MS Office 2004. It should be able to open most of your PC files, depending on how you saved them. MS will be coming out with a newer Mac version early next year.
A free option that would open just about all of them (and more than Office 2004 can) is NeoOffice ( http://neooffice.org ). That's what I use.
If your Dell monitor has a VGA or DVI port it should work fine, unless it requires a Dual Link card to drive it. What model is your monitor?
The new Minis now come with 1 Gig of RAM which is adequate for OK performance. If you ordered 2 Gig, multi-tasking will be snappier.

Just ordered a Mac Pro, A few questions

I just ordered a Mac Pro, with a few options from apple, and some parts from Newegg. I just have a few questions.
What webcam should I get?
I have 3 500 GB HDD's one for OSX, one for Vista and one for Time Machine. Is there a way to make the OSX drive and windows drive play nice (read/write access) with each other?
How hard is it to set up boot camp?
What does it take to prepare the DVR-115 to be added? Does the front face plate have to be removed?
I'm sure more will come up, so I'll keep asking

Vista will format its drive using NTFS which is a read-only filesystem to OS X. You will not be able to exchange files across the OS X and Vista drives. You can install third-party software in Vista to enable read/write of Mac drives - MacDrive by MediaFour.
Boot Camp setup is quite easy. You already have it so open the Boot Camp Assistant and click the button to print out the documentation.
Installing the extra optical drive is done inside the MP box. There's a mounting tray and assembly. There's an Apple manual for the installation: Optical Drive Carrier Replacement Instructions.

I have a desktop pc with iTunes. I just purchased a mac air book. Can I sync all of my devices, iPhone, iPod, iPad, to both computers or do I have to pick one. I would like to have iTunes on my mac, but I'm afraid I will run out of hard drive space.

I would like to have itunes on my mac, but i am afraid I will run out of hard disk space. Do I need to set up a seperate account on my Mac so I can load some music on it if I plan to keep my devices synced to my PC? Would it be possible to sync only my Iphone to my Mac?

To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services. Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services. You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used). You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

You are right, Adobe does not support CS5 because it is no longer sold.
Simply download the trial version of CS5 from this Adobe web site and input your serial number.

Reinstall MacFuse with the one from http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg. If that doesn't work, you can use Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 which has been designed to work with Lion.

I just ordered a macbook air today and need to know if the 128gb SSD is enough space. I presently have a macbook pro and am using only 30gb hard drive space so, the apple rep said 128 is enough as I do not load much pictures or gaming etc. Also is i5 ok.

Id choose the I5 yes, depends on what your usage is going to be,
....your question about "128 gig being enough" begs the question for IDEALIZED USE of your macbook AIr
In the case of a Macbook Air with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
*Generally, unless you NEED the data at least once every few weeks or once a month,...it really does'nt NEED to be on the SSD of your Macbook Air.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Ive got more APPS than any human should have on my 128gig AIR,..(50 or so),....and 10gig of working data, important files etc etc.
Still have 82gig available....... the entire point is that someone shouldnt consider the Air a "storage device" for tons of pics, music, vids, etc.
*Never consider any computer a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake that will, without fail, strike.
For needs of packing around a LOT of "big data" with your Air in its case..., get a nice 1TB HD for $70, or even a 2TB drive not much bigger.
Perfect 2TB HD, very slim, the "little giant" made by Toshiba (have several of these) $119

*This one is the BEST external HD available that money can buy:

I just purchased a mac air, i heard i can get the LIONS for free, is this free

I just purchased a mac air 1 week ago, i was told my bestbuy sales person that i can get the free download to LIONS in july, is this true? or should i just return the macbook air and waite for july.
thanks.
this is the first mac for me ever, so far i love it.

Yes, that's correct. Keep your receipt and the box to prove date of purchase.
There is a rumor that Apple will release a new MBA model concurrent with the release of Lion. If you return yours within 14 days you can get your money refunded (less restocking fee.) Then wait for the new model since it may show up in another month or so. Bear in mind that a new MBA in July is just a rumor.
