If I purchase a new apple desktop, will it be able to read my prior year turbo tax files on Windows XP? If not what should I do?

You need to ask the turbotax people before you buy the Mac version of their software.

I'm purchasing a new laptop. Will I be able to download a paid-for version of Photoshop to the laptop, by signing in? I don't think I have the disk.

CS6 is the last product version you could purchase outright. There is no CS7. Going forward, everything is Creative Cloud based now.

If your product was pre-CS6, keep in mind that Mac Yosemite 10.10 is probably not going to be compatible with older versions of Photoshop as they are no longer receiving updates.

How do I move prior years' Turbo Tax data from Snow Leopard computer to my new Mavericks mini?

I bought a new mini, but don't know how to transfer my old Turbo Tax returns/history/files over from
my iMac (Snow Leopard) to the mini (Mavericks). I ended up doing my 2013 taxes on my old computer
because I needed to have 2012 data imported for 2013 returns, but I would like to get all of
my Turbo Tax history on the mini. HELP (please!) Thank you!

This reminds me of an anecdote that I used to tell people to describe certain aspects of computer media and is somewhat relevant here. The story is oobviously 20 years old, and the facts have been changed to make my point:
My wife recently came back from Italy with a VHS cassette of an Italian movie that she wanted to watch on our VHS player at home.
I sent the cassette out to a local video conversion store, so that they could convert the VHS tape from PAL to NTSC.
When my wife played the newly converted tape on our home VHS player, she exclaimed: "But it is still in Italian!"
I have no experience with Turbo Tax. But I suspect that in prior years (especially prior to 2007) it was coded in PowerPC code.
In 2007, Apple converted its entire line of computers to the Intel CPU (from the PowerPC CPU), but in order to allow its existing user base to continue to use its PowerPC software, they included a transparent emulation layer in Mac OS X Tiger (Intel), Leopard, and optionally in Snow Leopard, called Rosetta.
Rosetta allowed users to continue to use their library of PowerPC apps without much problem.
Due to the expiration of its third party license, Rosetta is no longer included in Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks.
Moral of the Story: If the earlier versions of Turbo Tax are not Intel compliant, they will not run on your new Mac Mini, unless you install Snow Leopard Server ($20 from the Apple Store, by telephone orders only; part number: MC588Z/A) installed into Parallels ($79 retail).
If the latest version of Turbo Tax will open older Turbo Tax data files, this may not be a problem for you.
That is how I am able to continue to access my older Quicken Deluxe 2002 data files when necessary.

If I make a new apple ID, will I be able to transfer my credits and purchases?

Recently, my brother was given an iTunes Gift Card. Whenever he tries to purchase something, however, it asks for the answers to his security questions.
The problem is that he has no recollection of even answering these security questions. I have no idea how to answer them, nor do I know how to reset them as it asks for them before I can edit his security settings. I can't figure out what to do to fix this, so I've been contemplating creating a new account for him(since this account has my back-up email as the ID and he doesn't know how to change it, I don't think he'd want it anymore anyway). The only problem is that I am unsure as to how his credits and purchases can be transfered from this account to the new one. I don't want him to lose the $25 he earned to pay for this card, and I'm sure he'll get at me for it as well.
Help?

You can't transfer an account's balance nor its purchases to another account - purchased will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded them.
For his security questions, if he has a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on his account then he can go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into his account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side he should see an option to send security question reset info to hie rescue email address.
If he doesn't have a rescue email address (he won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then he won't get the reset option - he will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. he can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if he doesn't already have a rescue email address) he can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or, if it's available in your country, he could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

I am considering purchasing a new Mac desktop. I have, at present, a Liteon 851S ext CD/DVD write and a Maxtor 3200 USB ext hard drive. Will these work with a Mac desktop? My local Apple store could not answer my question.Happy New year to all.

Yes the Mac can read that drive but you would need to Copy the data off of it to the Mac as apposed to Move, which implies Deleting them from the drive as they were transferred from the external to the Mac. Since the Mac can Not Write to NTFS drives it can't Delete anything as that is really a Write operation, IE Making changes to the NTFS formatted drive.
Once you have that Data on Both your New Mac and you Older Windows PC you can format that drive to work on both system.
If you want to and plan on doing that post back and I'll explane how, it is simple but should be done on a Windows PC.
If you only plan on using it on the Mac from now on that is fairly simple also and is done on the Mac, Once you have the files from it stored on the Mac.
Yes you could burn those photos to DVD but that is just a waste of DVDs, you don't need to.

If I create a new apple ID will I lose all the apps I have purchased with my original ID?

If I create a new apple ID will I lose all the apps I have purchased with my original ID?

I set up FaceTime and Messages on four different devices with only one Apple ID. I used the exact method that is described in the video that AnaMusic has provided to you in the link in her response above. That method worked fine for my family, but you can create new Apple ID's just to use for FaceTime and Messages if you like. Many users prefer doing that as opposed to adding new email addresses.
IMO - using unique email addresses (like in the video) makes sense, because we (my family) all have different email addresses anyway, and it was very simple to add each family members email address to both apps and remove my Apple ID email address as the contact address on each device.
BTW .... if you are using your Apple ID on both devices - your phone number should be the number that is showing in the settings - not you daughter's. Did you set up the Apps with your Apple ID?

HT2731 if i set up a new apple id, will i lose all my previous downloads and purchases

My daughter has been using my email as her apple id and we want her to get her own. If she creates
a new apple id, will she lose all her apps and music she has purchased?

As the others stated purchases are inexorably linked to the Apple ID used to purchase them.
An alternative solution is to create a new email address and Apple ID for yourself. The amount you have invested in purchases for your daughter vs. yourself will factor in this decision.
If she doesn't want to use your email address, Apple IDs can be changed - not transferred, but changed to an email address not already associated with another Apple ID.
One caveat to keep in mind is the age requirement for Apple IDs; thirteen years of age is the minimum. The only way for someone younger than that to legitimately have an Apple ID is for someone older to create one on her behalf.

If I change the apple id and password to a new apple id will it erase my phone?

if I change the apple id and password to a new apple id will it erase my phone?
A friend of mine has a phone that is set up on someone else's apple id. We want to change it to his new apple id and keep all the info on the phone. and back up to icloud.
I am thinking if I just change the apple id account it will back up the phone on the new account?
Am afraid that it may erase everything?

No, but why are you changing your Apple ID? Any apps and other content that you have purchased are forever tied to that Apple ID and you will have to purchase them all again.
To erase the phone for use with another Apple ID, follow these instructions: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

When switching my iphone to a new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and imessages?

i currently share an itunes account with several people and devices. i would like to make my own apple ID. When switching my iphone to the new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and/or imessage conversations?

You need a valid/working email address in order to create an account.
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
Note that if yo chaghe acounts in Settings>iTunes and App Store media will NOT be deleted from the ipod but:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Transfer Mountain Lion upgrade, purchase to new Apple ID

I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro using my old Apple ID. Now I have a new Apple ID and want to transfer my purchase. Is this possible, and if so, how?

The license for any OS purchased at the app store is tied forever to the Apple ID used to purchase it - if you want to download it on another computer, you will need to use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it. That cannot be changed.
You can also purchase it again with a new Apple ID......

If I make a new Apple ID will I loose all of my apps

The apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased. Your computers will need to be authorized for that account and you will have to use that account to upsate the apps.

HT4352 Lost my remote to my Apple TV and I can not turn on home sharing w/o it. Does this mean I need to purchase a new apple Tv

Lost my remote to my Apple TV. Downloaded the remote app to my iPhone but you need to have home sharing turned on the Apple TV to use this. Does this mean I need to purchase a new Apple TV?

Any code association only applies to 1st gen Apple TV.
Again, the remote app will need home sharing enabled on the APPLE TV. They also need to be on the same wifi network. The OP has a new network.

Hi, can anyone tell me, if i purchase a used iphone4, how will i be able to register it with my apple id? currently what ever i do it asks me for the apple id and password of the previous owner. Please help

hi, can anyone tell me, if i purchase a used iphone4, how will i be able to register it with my apple id? currently what ever i do it asks me for the apple id and password of the previous owner. Please help

you have to restore to ios 6 and then sign in with your own apple id,
any apps etc on the iphone now, will not be able to be backed up and used in the future as they are not linked to your apple ID. and if you plan on using the previous owners ID then you need there [*** which I assume you dont have.
simply just restore using itunes then setup as new with all your details and your done, you can go to the appstore and start getting your own apps
