If you install the Mountian Lion will it delete everything off your computer

If you install the new Mountain Lion software for Mac will it wipe your computer

No, but you shouldn't be installing it. Right now the only kind you can download are illegal versions and even if the installer doesn't wipe it that doesn't mean there isn't something hidden inside it that will.

An iPhone's content is designed to originate or be backed up on the computer with which is was last synced.
Getting content off an iPhone and onto a computer with which it was not synced can be done though. Read the following to determine if this is an option for her: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
This will not restore anything not purchased from the iTunes Store. For that you will need to rely upon a number of third party utilities that claim to be able to do it.

HT4759 if i delete my backup on my phone will it delete everything off my icloud?

im trying to download ios 7 so i want my phone clear & i want to know if i can delete the backup on my iphone 4? o will it delete everything on my icoud?

Go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then sign back in with the ID of the account you want to use. It only deletes the account from your device, not from iCloud. This won't effect any other devices you may have that are still using the account.

Can you install the new lion software on more then one mac or do you need to bye it for every computor

Three macs do I need to bye it three times.

Yes, but each computer must be running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8. Log onto the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID. Click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should see an Install button to the right of the Lion purchase in the list.
If after you have downloaded Lion the first time you quit the installer instead of installing, then you can save the installer file to another drive as backup. You should find it in the Applications folder. Otherwise, the installer deletes itself automatically when finished installing.

HT4847 do you know if i delete my old iphone backup on icloud, will it delete everything off my iphone that was put on from the backup?

I want more space, and i had recently got a new iphone and i backed it up with icloud so i have all my important info... if i delete the old back up from november, will it delete what i had just put on my phone off my phone itself?

No. It will only permanently delete the backup from your iCloud account. It won't do anything to the data on your phone.

If I press Delete my iCloud account will it delete everything off my phone?

I have an iCloud username from like 5 years ago. It was never verified. But my phone keeps tryiing to make it THE iCloud account to use. So I want to switch it over to my current apple ID. So If I press"Delete Account" Is that going to wipe my phone, or enable me to put a new Apple ID on?
Thanks

So since it was never verified and I never actually used iCloud, essentially, it wont do anything?

How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software?

How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software for a computer running MAC OSX 10.4.11 if you do not have a MacBook Air?

You'll find the software you're looking for here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/dvdorcdsharingsetupupdateformac.html
However, say for example you install this on your iMac G4 or Windows XP PC (you'll need to get the link for that one yourself), are you planning to try to share the drive with an iBook or other non-MacBook Air computer? If this is your case, I'm not shure if it can be done with that software. I'll need to get back to you on that one.

Dear MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ? ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards FINN GRABOWSKI

Ok. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

If I set the new mountian lion will my data be deleted or will they still be there?

Before embarking on this venture, ensure that you have a bootable backup/clone of your current SL installation so you can restore it. Do note that no PPC apps work in Lion/Mtn Lion. See these for details:

Ah, you didn't read the fine print on installing Lion, did you? None of your old software will run in Lion.
You have two choices:
A) Buy all new or updated software
B) Partition the hard drive and install an older version of OSX to run your older apps.
You did not give us any idea of what PowerPC apps you were running, so additional options:
C) Restore to Snow Leopard
D) Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta which runs PowerPC apps) in Parallels 7 in Lion:

i have lion 10.7.5 installed if i update to 10.8 will it delete everything on my macbook? i would buy it in the aple store but i have some stuff on my laptop i wish wouldnt be lost so would it delete anything or would it stay the same?

If you buy the Mt. Lion installer at the AppStore it will just upgrade the system on top of your current system and not erase your documents and other files.
But nevertheless, as with any major upgrade, make sure you have a current backup of your mac, before you upgrade. And be aware, that the upgrade is quite large - several GB. So you need to be on a reliable network with a fast and stable internet connection.
Upgrade all applications to the latest versions, while you are still running Lion.
Have you checked, if all applications you need are compatible with Mt. Lion?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

How many computers can you install the micro soft Office 2011 on.

How many computers can you install the Micro Office 2011 on?

A full (retail, single license key) MS Office license permits you to install Office on 1 desktop Mac + 1 portable (laptop) Mac provided 1) you own both computers and 2) you do not use Office simultaneously on both computers.
Beyond that, it depends on the specific Office package you have. Some packages have more specific terms.
For example, if you have MS Office Home & Student 2011 you will have 3 activation keys permitting you to install it on 3 computers, period. (Not 1 desktop + 1 laptop per license key.)
The license key pertains to the computer (device) not the number of user accounts on the device. So, if you have 2 or 3 or more user accounts on your iMac you only need to use 1 license key for the iMac itself. You apply the license key (activate the software) only in the admin account under which you installed the software. Once you activate the software in the primary admin account, Office will be usable in all user accounts on the iMac. Do not try to activate the software under other user accounts on the same Mac - if you do you will unnecessarily use up more license keys.
