I want to switch

Hello, I have been a Windows user for all of my life, and I really want to switch to Mac OS X. I think the software and hardware is eye candy and so easy to use. Yesterday I was on a friends iMac G5 and it was faster than my Sony which costed me $1800! So I can only imagine the speed of the new Intel Macs.
I really want to switch, but I don't know where to start. I don't know how to sell my computer for the best profit and such. I am afraid that I will lose money by selling my computer, although it is an extremely nice Windows PC.
I would like to wait for Leopard to come out installed on the iMac's but I would like to sell my computer soon so it doesn't get anymore outdated.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
Oh, by the way how would I be able to watch and record HDTV on an iMac?
Sony VAIO VGC-RA840G Windows XP My computer will be 1 year old the 16th of Augest. I take extremely good care of my computer.

Prices aren't reflecting reality until an item actually sells. Pay no attention to bidding prior to that. Unless you're a bidder you must ignore all open auctions, and re-search your item using the "completed listings" limiter.
edit-
You have the ability to see about three weeks of past results. Throw out the seemingly abnormally high and low results and the remaining price range is usually a pretty fair estimate of value, although that doesn't mean you'll like the number. Once you learn that info and set your goal, it becomes more a matter of "marketing."

I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

My girlfriend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the Canada store and spend most of it with .02¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't.

My friend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the US store and spend most of it with 11¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't. iTunes keeps saying "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.*

You might just have to contact Apple and ask them to remove it (losing it). Usually people clear a balance by buying one song and having the exact remainder charged to their credit card, but if you don't have a US credit card you cannot do that.

I want to switch my Father to a Mac Mini this Christmas, but...

I want to switch my Father to a Mac Mini this Christmas, but It's going to take some work. First, he does not use his pc for much. Microsoft Office (98 version), Quicken (2001 version), Outlookexpress, and Internet. OH and his favorite game the internet checkers thing. I want to try to get all I need under a thousand bucks.
I am sure a lot of things will change after leopard but lets talk what we know about.
Mac Mini with upgrade ram to a gig.
upgrade hd to 80 gigs. (He has been wanting to put his music on his computer)
He has a 4:3 monitor flat panel (i like widescreen but I only got 1000 here) and mouse and I have a wireless apple keyboard already for him.
Do I get Apple care? It is a nice chunk of my 1000 allowance.
Can he buy it on his own after wards?
I have to buy him office because he feels that he could never leave Pcs because of Office ( I use neo office) but I'm sure he would not be happy with that.
Hopefully by then Office for mac 08 will be out for 150 bucks. When do you think it will be out?
He use quicken manage his checking accounts. I have never used Quicken before can you export your data?
I heard quicken ***** for mac. I don't believe he uses it for all its features but I would think it would be easier for him to accept quickin then some other third party. Soley based on the name.
I'll try to find out more.

You can buy Applecare anytime before the 1 year warranty expires, so you could leave that to his discretion if you wanted, and he'd have 1 year to consider it.
You can save ~$30 on the mini if you qualify for an educational or corporate discount. Office 2004 costs ~$145 with educational discount.

Hello! I have a macbook air and my apple ID is using my old email that I don't remember the password to. I want to switch it to my most recent email. How can I do this?

Hello! I have a macbook air and my apple ID is using my old email that I don't remember the password to. I want to switch it to my most recent email. How can I do this?

Change your old Apple ID using this link:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click the blue Manage your Apple ID button.
Its password is unrelated to the password you use for the email associated with it.
If you don't remember the Apple ID password, click the Reset your password link.
I already have a new apply id that is set on my phone and ipad. I just want to switch it to that one...
You cannot change your Apple ID to another one that is already in use - in this case, the one you created for your iPnone and iPad. Decide which Apple ID you want to keep. If you need to change it, change it - don't create a new one.

The iCloud backup does not include non-Tunes purchased music and photos that were synced to the iPod. The iCloud backup does not also included a few other things included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does also not included non-iTunes purchases and photos synced to the iPod.
free programs like iFunBox with copy non-iTunes purchased music and some other things from iPod to computer. A paid program like TouchCopy is needed to copy photos synced to the iPod to a computer.

My "Awesome Bar" is no longer using Google for search. It is using Yahoo. I want to switch it to Google, again.

The Firefox URL address bar defaults to a search feature if the browser does not recognize the entry as a valid http, https, ftp etc URL.
Until recently, it used Google. It is now using Yahoo search and I want to switch it back.
Efforts to use Time Machine backups of my library files have not fixed the problem.

Hey Shewmaker,
You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Location%20bar%20search?s=location+bar&r=2&as=s#w_changing-the-internet-keyword-service this article] on the Location Bar. It will show you how to change the provider for the location bar search.
Hopefully this helps!

You can't reverse the erase.
Restore from your iTune or iCloud backup.

I want to switch FROM iCloud to Google Calendar

So, I've discovered that I'm not terribly fond of the iCloud calendar. I used the MobileMe calendar for forever, but with the switch to iCloud, I'm just done. My work uses Google calendar, so I want to switch to that, but I don't want to have to re-input all of my appointments/meetings. Is there a way to sync my iCloud calendar with Google-- even just on a one time basis? I see lots of posts regarding going the other way, but not leaving iCloud. I will continue to use iCloud for email-- I just want to switch the calendar. Also, I don't want to use iCal, but Google's GooCal instead.
Oh, BTW, I don't know if it matters, but I have an iMac, an iPhone, and iPad at home and a PowerBook at work (complete with 5 million firewalls and filters-- I work in the public schools). I access my calendar from all of my devices-- and I need to be able to share my "home" calendar with my husband...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!
