Personally I would hold off a few weeks and buy a copy of Mountain Lion for $19.99 and you will be able to install it on as many computers as you own, from all reports. This was the case with Lion. But not with the preloaded version shipped on the Macs themselves. That will let you be able to update all compatable Macs you own with the download.

What if I purchase a new Apple computer with Lion pre-installed. Will I be able to somehow put Lion on a previously owned computer?

Not without buying it again.

I have a 500 gig time capsule. I have used with a Macbook. The Macbook has a 500 gig hard drive which is about 3/4 full. Now we just purchased a new MacBook pro with a 1 TB hard drive. Do I need to buy a larger Time Capsule?

Do I need to buy a larger Time Capsule?
Probably yes. You might be able to get the full backup of the new MacBook Pro on the Time Capsule, but it will not be long before the Time Capsule is out of space.
Better to add a new Time Capsule and backup the new MacBook Pro to the new Time Capsule, and keep the old MacBook backing up to the old Time Capsule.
If you do not want to add a new Time Capsule, another option would be to erase the Time Capsule disk and start over again with new backups of both Macs and move forward.

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in? I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer. I really miss this capability!

Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

Just got a new Dell computer with windows 8 and when I plug my iPhone into it it does not see my phone in iTunes, why

My new Dell computer with windows 8, when I open my iTunes and plug my iPhone 5 in the computer does not see my phony, why?

Hi, Robert.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

I just bought a new MacBook Air with Lion. How can I install Lion on my MacPro?

If the way I get Lion is only pre-installed on the new computer, I'm wondering how I would go about installing it on another Mac that I already own. Thanks!

Apple may have used the App store version of Lion as a temporary distribution channel for its brief free upgrade program in July, but Apple has never in the past continuously licensed the OS that comes with a new computer for use also on additional computers. The situation with Lion is therefore nothing new. The App store product is equivalent to the old "retail DVD" that you could buy for previous OS versions - they are both meant for older computers that shipped with earlier OS versions, and neither is free. The difference in the case of Lion is that you are getting something similar to the old "family-pack" retail DVD at no extra cost.
Details are in the Lion OS X 7.2 license agreement, available here.
http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx1072.pdf
It includes the following, which makes clear that the new-product license and the App store license are different entities:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Standard and Preinstalled Apple Software License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, unless you obtained the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, on Apple- branded physical media (e.g., on an Apple-branded USB memory stick) or under a volume license, maintenance or other written agreement from Apple, you are granted a limited, non- exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple- branded computer at any one time. For example, these standard single-copy license terms apply to you if you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled on Apple-branded hardware.
B. License from Mac App Store or on Physical Media. If you obtained a license for the Apple Software from the Mac App Store or on Apple-branded physical media, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License and as permitted by the Mac App Store Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms and Conditions (http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/) (“Usage Rules”), you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license:
(i ) to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control;

Do the new iPods come with the 1.2 update on them now?

If so, is it advisable to hook it to a computer with Itunes 6 and the last stand alone update to restore it before hooking it to the computer with Itunes 7.02? Does the 1.2 format work better when it comes installed on the iPod already? My daughter is getting the 80gb video iPod for Christmas. After reading all the problems on here, it worries me that her iPod won't work well with 1.2 on it.

I wouldn't take any risks (by connecting it to an older version of iTunes). Some iPods have had to be restored after doing that, simply because the older version of iTunes may not understand some of the iPod's files.
Of course there are going to be many people with problems in these forums. This is a support forum. No one comes here with working iPods or iTunes, nor do they post that everything is working fine. For the vast majority of people, the latest version of iTunes 7 works fine.

Hi Ned.. thanks taking the time to reply.. but, unfortunately, I got the same error message. BTW, I found it interesting that my serial number did NOT work in the downloaded version, so I selected the trial, which resulted in the same error message: Your installation encountered errors, Please try restarting your system and installing again. Inconsistency in the installer database. Please restart your computer and install again. I am open to other trouble-shooting ideas!

I just purchase a new desktop computer (Lenovo) operation system window 7 and had and Kaspersky Anti-virus install, however it appear that it does work with firefox version 7. Any advise for me because I'm an strong user of Firefox browser.

Kaspersky URL advisor is incompatable with firefox 7.01
Kaspersky virtual keyboard is incompatable with firefox 7.01

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.
Hi Mark,

If you have an aspect that is not covered, indicate what that is; otherwise, expect you to be fully functional within 1-2 weeks.

I just got a new Mac Airbook with MAC OS 10.6.8 and now every time I load Firefox, it tells me it was downloaded from the internet and am I sure I want to open it. How can get rid of that message?

I know this is a standard MAC message but I never got it with Firefox before changing computers. I also downloaded Firefox 5.0 and it is still doing it.

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!
