if my mac runs on the leopard OS and not the snow leopard os, does this mean i can't purchase the new lion os?
We probably don't know the whole story yet.
The big announcement Steve Jobs made was, of course, a sales pitch with all the "gee whiz" stuff -- no nitty-gritty, gory details.
Apple's "How to buy" post (http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/) clearly says "To upgrade on day one" -- no mention of day two, or twenty.
It would be rather silly for Apple to take the position that, if you don't have broadband (for a 4 GB download), they don't want you as a customer. So it's likely there will be an alternative for such folks, such as a DVD or USB stick, possibly for a nominal extra fee. If so, that might also allow updating directly from Leopard.
When the actual release date is announced, there should be more details.

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.

upgraded my macbook pro to mountain lion from snow leopard does this mean i can upgrade my imac as well for the same price? And will it mess it up?
You can upgrade the iMac for no extra charge - sign into the App Store there, download and install 10.8.
I recommend that you make a backup (Time Machine is probably the easiest method) before you install, and make sure that you are not using any applications that are incomptible with 10.8 (eg Office 2004) - other than that, it should go smoothly.

Hi, My OS X is Leopard v10.5.8, w/Safari v5.0.6. I am considering downloading ClickToFlash 2.9.2 for general security reasons. I’m assuming this a good fit, being that Apple endorses this extension on their site. Does this mean i can download it w/out having to worry about any conflicts?,.. that its coming from a safe source, etc? Does it have any downsides? Is it easy to install?, ..or uninstall if i dont like it?
ALSO~ I’m assuming i dont need ClickToPlugin, because when on internet i always have “Enable Plugins” ~ DISABLED.
Thanks for any advice,... Jean in NJI dont really understand~ When i open my Flash Player pane, click on Advanced tab, the heading "Updates" reads~ "Not updating may leave this computer vulnerable to security threats." The reason for my concern is that Adobe no longer offers FP updates for my OS [10.5.8],not even archived. So my original question probably should have read~ When visiting a web site does Flash automatically load onto safari. If so, can using Click to Flash;... and NOT clicking to flash, prevent Flash from loading, and possibly carrying a "security threat" [virus?], into Safari or my Mac? Not trying to beat a dead horse,..just trying to understand what makes him run, Thanks

Im trying to purchase the new lion software and the app store keeps telling me that the there is an error what do i do?
Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.8.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
Try downloading Lion. -
I am trying to restore my ipod, and get a message: "could not restore ipod because it could not be unmounted." What does this mean? And what do I do about it?
It sounds like your PC or Mac's internal HD is full. You need to delete some data or move it to an external hard drive or storage device of some sort before you'll be able to successfully complete the restore.

You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
Simply going there does nothing. -

I purchased my mac Sept 2011 with the latest version of iphoto. Every time I try to do an iphoto update I'm always asked to log in with the name I used to purchase the app. Does this mean that I have to purchase the latest update? I thought the updates were free and if it so, how do I actually update iphoto?
DId you Accept the apps when you bought the Mac? In the App Store go to the Purchases List and press Accept there. Then you'll be able to update. If that's not available then you'll need to contact App Store support.
