I Know, this is stupid, but how do I add a scanner?

I'm a new convert to Apple. Please be gentle. I knew how to add peripherals with Windows, but I feel like a child now with this iMac. I just need to "add hardware." Am I missing something? I just want to add a scanner...

Hi Rick
Just to add to what elmac say's!
The software disk that is included with the scanner may not be up to date, you may have to go to the "Manufactures Support Site" and download the latest update.

When I turn on my wifi in top bar and connect,minutes later I get an annoying pop up notification letting me know I'm connected, AGAIN. It freezes everything including psswds and I have to start all over This is petty but how do I shut this popup off?

What OS X version are you using?
Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is...

No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is in the "example" folder, So that I can delete the account on my mail app?

Not sure what you mean. Deleting a POP account only deletes the messages stored in the account’s mailboxes, not any messages stored in custom “On My Mac” mailboxes, if that’s what you mean. It’s not that Mail goes after your mail trying to delete as much as it can. It’s just that if a mail account is deleted, then its mailboxes cannot exist anymore...
That said, instead of deleting the account right away, you can just disable it (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), leave it that way for some time, and delete it only after making sure you didn’t miss anything while the account was disabled.
BTW, if you back up your data, and the ~/Library/Mail folder in particular, you won’t have to worry about accidentally losing anything as a result of doing something like that...
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

I use more than one computer to access my four business email accounts. When one computer is on (and mail is open) emails do not get through to the other computers. This is fine, but how do I make one of the other computers the dominant one?

I assume these are POP accounts and all computers are set to remove from Server after downloading.
So on the non dominant ones... Mail Preferences>Accounts, highlight an account, Advanced tab, uncheck remove from Server, just have the main dominant one remove from server.
Or get/setup IMAP accounts.

Goodnight gracie, I know this is trivial but why?

I know this is trivial but in System profiler in the syncservices log i find this, or variantys thereof:
2011-06-13 20:45:44:432|SyncServer|1994|110fd0|Server|Info| Goodnight, Gracie.
I think it a message when the mac goes into sleep mode. But why 'Goodnight Gracie' Apparently it was a catchprase used by George Burns at the end of his radio show, but does anyone know who or why it was included in this log message?

Someone may, but it was put in there by one of the programmers as a joke.

I know it is stupid but what is the word processing program on the ibook software?

I know it is stupid, but what is the word processing program installed on the ibook g4?

Hi, Wayne. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Is AppleWorks installed? It's what I use, and came on many iBook models.
TextEdit Is a rudimentary word processor, and is included with Mac OS X.

I have a problem .. I can not download and update some applications from App Store as it asked me for apple ID I don't know this email.. How I can solve thi problem

All content from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, so the id that shows when trying to download updates should be the account that 'owns' that app. Do you recognise the id that is showing e.g. has anybody else downloaded or synced content to your iPad ?

Well you can't use it. The iOS 7 Activation Lock is pretty secure and you can't bypass it.

HT4522 Sounds fine but how do I add partitions in air port utility

Sounds fine but how do I add partitions in air port utility

It is possible to partition the drive, but you have to physically pull the hard drive from the Time Capsule and place it in a separate enclosure for the formatting operation, then reinstall the drive again back in the Time Capsule.
Unfortunately, in addition to a lot of work, this will void the warranty on the Time Capsule.
It is possible to create one or more disk images on the Time Capsule using Disk Utility.
While a disk image is not technically a "partition" in the normal sense, it will allow you to specify and reserve a given amount of space on the drive for the image or images that you create.

I got birthdays in my ical on mac and iPhone 4 but how can i add anniversaries

I got a mac pro and have updated to mountain lion, i use the mac cal to synchronize to mac cal on iphone 4s and vise versa, I got birthdays on my cal but would like to add anniversaries to it as well how do i add them so i dont forget important dates and also in my icloud i have 3 colours for different entries e.g. green for holiday , blue for home and green for work, so how do i add another colour for something else for a different entries called "events" and add anniversaries like birthdays. Ta Juss p.s i also have a problem with birthdays they all duplicated.....

Go to "File" and create a new calendar, name it "Events" or whatever you like and pick a color. Then, go to the date you want the anniversary on and create an all-day event naming it however you like. Under repeat, choose to have it repeat every year and select never for when it should end. You will now have a calendar of anniversaries and other events. Just make sure to select repeat every year and never end on each item you want in that calendar.

HT5361 maybe this is stupid, but i really don't know how to change the picture on the mail

I have been trying and I cant find where to change that picture anywhere
if one of you guys could help me I would be gratefull

It's the picture set for your user in the Users & Groups system preference for your user account.
Click the image and you can change it if you wish. But it just appears on your own computer. It's not sent with email messages, so it's not something you really need to worry about unless you just don't like seeing that particular picture.
Regards.

This is going to sound stupid, but how do I move the gnome3 dock?

I would Like to use the one from gnome-shell-extension-dock, but I can't for the life of me move the original one or remove it for that matter.
How do I go about doing this. This is the first time I've actually been able to get Gnome 3 and Gnome-shell working decently without breaking my themes (Apparently Adawaita uses the same general colors as the GTK2 theme it uses does, so I just copied the gtk3.0 and metacity-1 folders from said theme into all my Murrina themes and now everything looks good)
Also, sometimes Gnome-shell crashes just out of the blue, or at least the window manager does. I can't figure out why it does this, but I suspect it might be because compiz-fusion-icon keeps loading.
EDIT: I seem to have fixed the sound issues with my headphones by switching it over to analog stereo duplex when I'm running shell.

Don't believe so. You can always install Docky or Avant Window Navigator if you like. I liked Gnome3 for a while but got sick of repeatedly moving my mouse up to the corner to make stuff I commonly use visible. I hated the way workspaces are done too. Not sure why they made these decisions but for better or worse they are here. I've moved on to KDE and Openbox where I actually have some control over things.
I liked Gnome3 for a while, I have to admit. In the end I was just too restricted. Lot's of extensions for it coming out though which might help with this stuff. You could just get rid of gnome-shell though and use another dock of your choice.
That's the problem though, I think I'm actually beginning to like old g-shell. Funny as I used to bash the you know what out of it, but once you find some workarounds and make stuff look good, it's not all that bad.
Oh and I found out what kept crashing Gnome Shell..it was when I was switching themes, but only with certain ones. Deleted those and now it works.
....And now my dock seems to display correctly again -.- . Seems it only happens when I boot gnome-shell initially.
It's probably going to be one of those odd quirks I'll just have to live with until Gnome-shell is patched or updated to allow resizing and moving.
