I want to put Lion on my computer but it asks what app I want to open it with. What does that mean?

I want to download lion onto my computer but the computer keeps asking me what app I want to open it with. What does that mean? How do you know what app to open it with? Help!

That isn't the way it worked for me.
Once I download the installer from the App Store, I was able to open it and install Lion.
I would suggest trying to download it again.
If the same thing happens again, you shopuld discuss this with the App Store Support.

HT5262 if I backup with icloud, does that mean I do not need to sync on computer anymore

If I backup with icloud, does that mean I do not need to snyc on computer anymore?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Syncing does more than just back up to iTunes, it depends what you were using the sync to do, if you sync content between your device and iTunes you would need to continue syncing to acheive this.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

HT204074 I bought an audiobook and downloaded to my ipod. I want to put it on my iPAD but it just says do you want to but this again. My ipad IS associated device. How do I fix it?

I purchased an audiobook from my iPod. It seems it is corrupted. I want to re- download it to my iPad but it says, "You've already purchased this.mdo you want to buy it again?" Why can't i DL the audiobook to my iPad. It is an associated device. Thank you.

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so you won't be able to download it from the store without re-purchasing it. If it hasn't downloaded correctly then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that audiobook and use the 'Report a Problem' link. When that has fixed and you can then re-download it and sync it to your devices

I downloaded a TV/computer program both as an mp3 (audio) and mp4 (A&V). But the download did not appear in the download drop-down or in itunes. Does that mean I cannot burn that mp3 or mp4 to a CD or DVD?

I download a TV/computer program both as an mp3 (audio) and as a mp4 (A&V) I could play them directly using the URLs but neither appeared in the download dropdown or in i tunes. Does that mean that these files cannot be burned to a CD or DVD?

Took a contact photo now I want to put it on my computer...

I have a beautiful girlfriend as I was adding her contact information so I decided to take a photo....
now I want to put it onto my computer because it was a great photo! (waterfall in the background, perfect perfect one of a kind pic!!!)
does anyone know how I can do that???

if you took the photo from the photo application and it put it in the camera roll, then you can import it onto your computer, but if you were in her contact and hit the add photo button and took the photo that way, then sorry but no i don't think so

iTunes Store Movie Rental FAQ - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

You will have to upgrade your operating system version and possibly your whole computer. We cannot provide more information easily until we know more about your system.
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Apple does tell you about required equipment for the iPhone -- in 8 point medium gray type on a light gray box. The Store associates kind of automatically assume everybody is running a new model computer and the one I met when we bought our iPhone had never seen a pre-2008 Mac and was somewhat puzzled why anybody would own such an antique.

How do I change my flash settings? I said I wanted to be prompted about flash wanting to store things on my computer but the prompts are too frequent and annoying!

How do I change my flash settings? I said I wanted to be prompted about flash wanting to store things on my computer but the prompts are too frequent and annoying!

New versions of Flash have a panel installed on your system for control of settings.
In Windows XP, Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel > Flash Player, click on each tab and change the "Ask..." setting. Most likely your prompts are coming from the "Storage" tab. Using any of the "Block..." settings may make Flash inoperative on some sites.

Thanks Dirk,
Tried your suggestion various ways but it had no effect the download button was still greyed out and the install button would not activate will keep trying to find a solution. I dont want to boot from the external hard drive that has Lion on mainly because it is a usb HD and the connection to my wireless modem slows the connection rate and downloading would take about ten hours

OK, another question. I opened a new blank file and the picture I want to move is in the Photo Bin. That image is 2 in. X 3 in. But, when I move it onto the blank image, which is 8X10, it fills up the entire space. I can't figure out how to put it in the new image in the correct size relationship.
Open the picture file, go to Image>resize>image size. Read what the resolution is in px/in, write it down, do nothing else here at this time
Go to File>new>blank file, Enter the dimensions , resolution the same value that you wrote down in step #1, background color to suit, ok it.
Go back to the picture file, go to Select>all, go to Edit>copy to put it on the clipboard
Go back to the blank file, go to Edit>paste
Get the move tool out of the toolbox, position the picture, and resize with the corner handles of the bounding box, if necessary..
Note: For printing, the rule of thumb is that the resolution be in the 240-300px/in range, although I have had good results below this value. For web work, 72 px/in is ok.

You get that message any time you download an executable file. It is safe to open as long as you download from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
