ICal in Lion - now "On My Mac" and "MobileMe" options??

I'm confused - I never had this problem until I upgraded to Lion. Under my Calendars in iCal, I have "On My Mac", "MobileMe", "Exchange" and "Subscriptions".
I am confused on the difference between "On My Mac" and "MobileMe" (with duplicate named calendars under each). We have several Macs that synchronize our MobileMe calendars. Under Snow Leopard, there was just a calendar with the name "Family" that I had given it. Now, that same name of the calendar appears both under"On My Mac" and "MobileMe". And now I'm not sure where new entries are going as my wife and I add them. Should I delete one of these calendars? If so, which one, and why are there 2 options?
Thanks

iCal in Snow Leopard shows both sorts of calendars, though you shouldn't get this duplication. 'On My Mac' calendars live on the Mac and will not sync to other Macs. Calendars listed under your MobileMe login actually live on the server and are read from there by each computer or device (though iCal does cache a copy to speed the process up).
If you are syncing calendars, the 'On My Mac' versions are redundant and you should delete them - however I would recommend exporting each one first so that you have backups on the 'you never know' basis.

I installed mountain lion os on my mac book pro and now Word for Mac and my Fluenz Spanish programs do not work. How can I go back to my original OS? Thanks

I installed Mountain Lion OS on my Mac Book Pro and now WORD for Mac and Fluenz Spanish program do not work. How do I reinstall original OS and scrap ML?
Thanks

My previous answer still stands: Restore from your backup taken before you upgaded to Mountain Lion. For example, a Time Machine backup, a Carbon Copy Cloner clone, or a commercial backup service. Not the disk that came with your computer (which is how I read "OS back up disk").
If you reinstall the original OS from the disk that came with your computer, it will wipe out everything on your computer. (The installer won't install an older OS over a newer one, so you'll have to wipe the disk first.) Then you'll need to restore your data from your backup and reinstall applications like Word.

I bought Photoshop CS5 Windows platform. I now own a Mac and want to install it to my new computer. Is this possible?

I bought Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended Student and Teacher Edition (Windows,English) a few years ago. I now own a Mac and would like to download and install my photoshop. Is this possible?

A windows license is only good for the Windows platform. CS5 does not qualify for a platform swap. You might be able to install it on a Mac if you get a Windows emulator for it.

Try downloading the PSE11 installer from Download Photoshop Elements products | 12, 11, 10
Install then enter your serial number.

Calendars "From My Mac" and "MobileMe"

Now in the calendars categories have both if you use MobileMe, "From My Mac" and "MobileMe" calendars.
If show all calendars then look like all sync and duplicated twice.
What can I do?

Hi Yu,
Yes, I did this too. For me, it was due to the fact that on the info tab in iTunes, I had ticked the 'Sync Address Book' and 'Sync iCal Calendars' options. You don't need these ticked, if you already sync over the air with MobileMe, unless you want duplicates on your iPhone.
To correct this I:
1) Un-ticked these options in iTunes (this didn't remove the duplicates though, even after a sync), so...
2) Deleted my MobileMe account from my iPhone in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars (don't worry, your data is stored in the cloud)
3) Re-added my MobileMe account on my iPhone. As soon as my MobileMe credentials had been verified, the phone identified that the contacts and calendars that I was downloading from MobileMe already existed on my phone (synced from my Mac), and it gave me the option to Merge these with my MobileMe data. I chose the option to merge, and as soon as that was done (took a few seconds), I was back to one set of MobileMe data, and no duplicates.
Sorted...
Hope that helps.
Chris.

(note Address book syncs fine).
I have tried;

I see the calender fine.
Any thoughts?

Had a pc now have a mac and my downloaded cds do not show up on mac. help

I had a pc and now have a mac computer. Itunes does not show any downloaded cds in the library. Idon't know what to do.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to add them to iTunes. To do it, if you have your songs in an external drive or in the internal disk, open iTunes, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Add to Library, and search the songs. Another way is to drag the songs to your iTunes window

I bought cs3 when current for pc . . .now have new mac and would like to change over and upgrade . ?

I bought cs6 for pc years ago . . now have mac and would like change over and upgrade (perhaps bridge only) please advise best?

No way. You are long past any upgrade eleigibility cycles, so you would have to buy a full CS6 license or join Creative Cloud. That also negates any advise people could give you on making a platform swap, which requires you to be on a current version, anyway.

Can I install the lion to my other mac and how? Do I buy it again?

I installed the lion in my mac book pro. I want to install it also to my other mac book pro. Do I have to buy the lion again or is there a way to utilize the one I already purchased?

You can download Lion on as many Macs as you want provided they are authorized and you use the same Apple ID.

Back-to-My-Mac and MobileMe?

Trying to set up Back-to-my-Mac and this site http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1109 says I have to have a MobileMe account...well I just transferred it to iCloud!
So in System Preferences>iCloud I have checked Back-to-my-Mac...but what else do I have to do to my MacbookPro or iPad to use it?
NEVER MIND...I FOUND THE ANSWER AT http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4907

Never mind....I figured this out!

Why didn't Apple make it clear that if you upgrade to Mountain Lion on an older Mac, and want mirroring to work you were out of luck ?

I read the requirements to install Mountain Lion. My system quilified, that is unless you wanted all the features to work. Mirroring is not a "Key" feature that will work on older iMAC machines. What a letdown for features I wanted to really work.

I feel really let down that my $2000+ i7 8gig MacBook Pro (mid 2010) can't mirror it's screen with AirPlay, but. $600 Mac mini (2011) can.
Really? Is wireless video *that* hard? I've been a long time Apple supporter, (1991) way before iAnything, and in those dark years up until now, I always made the point that Apple hardware had longevity. Of course my MacBook is still functional, built like a tank, and I'll get years out of it, but Apple dropping support for a top level machine so soon is unsettling.
I really, really wanted AirPlay, and bought Mountain Lion right away. It wasn't until later, while waiting for the download I noticed my beloved MacBook wasn't supported. Apple really should change their advertisements to make clear it's really only for brand new machines.

Now have a mac and want to connect Ipod without loosing file

I recently upgraded computers to an Mac I originally had a PC and my ipod was loaded on a PC now I want to use my ipod on my Mac but i am scared if I plug it in I will lose my songs. How can I avoid this?

First, it is always good to have a back up of your music files in addition to your iPod. Do not throw your PC until you finishing the transfer.
Download the 3rd party software iPodRip. Good stuff

How do I get iCal to update changes on my Mac and iPhone if I make changes on either?

Even when I sync using iTunes it only adds changes my iPhone.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
