I just purchased a mac air and am unable to get my entire music library and pictures moved from my iPhone. I subscribed to match and it wants to delete everything on my iPhone and replace with nothing from the new computer How do I get my music and pict

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.

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.

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)

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.

I just purchased a macbook air, and because of the limited memory (256 gb) and my HUGE music library, I need aomne form of external storage. i am considering either using iCloud for iTunes, or purchasing an external hard drive. suggestions or opinions?

hi! just purchased a macbook air, and because of the limited storage (256 gb) and my massive music library, I am going to find an alternative storage method. I am debating between an external hard drive and utilizing iCloud. icloud makes me a little nervous....having my entire library in "the cloud" and deleted off of my desktop - do most of you who use icloud for music and photos have a backup on external hard drive anyway? So....iCloud vs. external hard drive for storage. Thoughts? opinions? thanks!

iTunes Match allows you to put 25,000 songs in the Cloud. At present it isn't possible to add more storage but I wouldn be surprised if that isn't an option offered in the future. With iTunes Match you allow Apple to match your songs (purchased from Apple, ripped from your own CDs are purchased elsewhere). When Apple cannot match a song a copy of yours is uploaded.
Once the match process is complete (for my 24,000+ collection it took a couple days) the fun begins. Since my MBA can't hanle all my music, I use iTunes Match to download a small selection of my music every couple of weeks. My music remains in the cloud even when I delete them from my computer and if I have WiFi accesss I can get new songs. It is a great service and much more convenient than keeping your MBA's music on an external drive.

Since you have another Mac, you could share it's DVD drive in System Preferences > Sharing.
Then use Remote Disc found on the MBair's finder's sidebar. This will mount the DVD in your old Mac to the MBair.

I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download the Kobo reader app. can I download things from the internet that are not available in the apple store?

I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download from the internet (such as Kobo) that are not available on the app store. It asked me if I was sure it was safe, so it's got me worried.

If you know the sites are OK, then download away.

Use Setup Assistant and a Time Machine backup of your old system. Details are described here.

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.

I just purchased a mac pro and i wanted to know if they bring microsoft installed already or would i have to purchase it?

i just purchased a mac pro and i wanted to know if they bring microsoft installed already or would i have to purchase it?

You would have to purchase Microsoft Office for the Mac, if you want genuine Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. There are other less costly compatible and work-alike products available.
To install Microsoft Windows, you need to buy Microsoft Windows software, run BootCamp software and partition your Boot Drive, then install Microsoft Windows in its own disk partition, which is a fairly complex process. Then, while running Windows, Install whatever other Windows programs you would like to run. None of this is necessary to simply read and write Microsoft Word or Excel documents.
There are other compatibility options that you may find adequate for other Windows programs. What do you want to run in Windows?

A email account that was used is now not in use and songs that were purchased and added are bound to this old account from the same computer how do I the purchaser of these songs reclaim the authorization to play and use in my new account. even though account name may have been changed.

Just authorize the computer and retreive them.

FYI: you should have simply updated the AppleID with new info and continued to use it instead of creating a new one.

Have you copied your iTunes library over to your new computer? Either way, you'll need to restore the iPod using the new iTunes library in order to sync it with the new library.
