I've reinstalled my MacBook Pro (OSX Lion) using a different apple ID, and now I can't install any iLife apps. In the app store it comes up with "Accept" and then tells me It can't accept from my user ID. How can I fix this or get iLife back?

Mostly explained in the title. My dad gave me his MacBook, and I went ahead and wiped all of his stuff by using the recovery partition to wipe/reinstall OSX Lion. In the setup I used a new apple ID and now I can't get iLife apps. I'm relatively new to how apple works its purchases, so I'm not sure what's up. Is it that my computer has a unique ID set to the first apple ID used on it, and if so, how can I get this reset to my ID? I'm planning to get an iPhone 5 soon so I'd like to be able to use photo stream with iPhoto and try out Guitar Band.
Any help is much appreciated.

HT5048 i want to download window 7 x64 driver for my macbook pro OSX Lion 10.7.3

Can you help me to share link to download Window 7 x64 drivers Macbook Pro OSX Lion 10.7.3

You would only damage the recovery partition if you repartitioned the drive. Simply erasing the volume is fine. (The drive and volume are often used interchangeably, but they're not. The drive is the physical device, encompassing everything on it, including all partitions. Each partition on the drive is a separate "volume." So the Macintosh HD on an out-of-the-box Mac is not actually the drive, it's a volume that takes up most of the drive.)
So, just erase with Disk Utility, then reinstall the system and as soon as the setup assistant starts, just quit that program and shut down the machine. When your brother turns it on, it will be as if he were turning it on for the first time.
Note that if you have any sensitive data, you may want to do a secure erase in Disk Utility instead of a normal erase. You may not need to keep your data safe from your brother, but you should consider what might happen if the machine were stolen from him, for example.

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

Have you tried rebooting the iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
You may want to consider restoring the iOS software on the device, if rebooting doesn't help.

I cannot start iBooks. I cannot delete iBooks. I cannot restore, from TM, iBooks. How do I fix this.

I went to explore iBooks. I created and added some books. Didn't like it. Tried to delete the books I added. They did not delete. Now I have an IBooks that will not start. When I tried to delete iBooks, the system said no, it was needed by OS. I tried to restore it from TM and got the same response.
How do I fix this? I really expect Time Machine to restore files, any files.
