Just Bought an Imac...What do I do with the Install Disks?

Hi There,
I'm hoping someone may have some feedback on the following.
I just opened my brand new imac, turned it on and was able to launch a program.
But I see that there are two accompanying install disks. Do I need to still install something that is on the disks? Thanks for your advice and I hope you have a great week ahead.

You are welcome, neighbor( or neighbour!). This is off topic, but I was heading for Vancouver (BC) a few days ago and left a little more money than I intended. I drifted through a stop sign at about 2 MPH just before the Border booths (two languages, I just did not see it) and got a breathalyzer test (passed) and a ticket from the RCMP for $121 Canadian for ignoring a traffic control device. (I still like our Northern neighbors!).

I just bought 3 memberships for adobe creative cloud with the same ID, how can I install each membership in 3 different computers.

Welcome to Adobe Forum,
You have CC for individual purchased which can be activated on two machines by the same Adobe ID.
How ever if you want to use it on more than two machine, you can cancel this order & buy the creative cloud for Team, in which you can buy the number of seats & assign them to as many user you would like to.
Each user can activate it two times with 100GB of space as compared to 20 GB space for CC for individual.

Well, I don't intend to be using it "less" strictly in the sense of time spent - I'll probably still keep it in my lap all the time surfing the web in front of the TV... but yeah, no intensive graphics or music use, just web surfing and the occasional spreadsheet or word document. So long as I won't have networking and file sharing issues then it probably doesn't make sense to upgrade.

I just bought a Canon MG5422 It prints fine with the wire but wireless it stays offline.

I just bought a Canon MG5422. It works fine by wire but wireless it stays offline. It appears to find the access point. The printer screen shows me my router name and says it's active. Printer still says offline on the computer. When I try to detect the printer it never does. Where so I go from here? Thanks.

Hi CarlHuskey
As an additional step we can try, I recommend checking if the printer is set "Offline".
Click the start icon, then click Devices and Printers.
Right-Click the printer's icon and select See what's printing in the dropdown menu.
In the next screen click Printer in the menu bar. If Use Printer Offline has a check mark to the left of it, click Use Printer Offline to remove the check. The printer will now be used online.
If you are still unable to print, uninstall the printer completely and then reinstall. This will ensure that the drivers and port for your printer are properly configured on the system.
Please feel free to Contact Us for additional troubleshooting if these steps don't work.

I just bought an iMac 10.7.2 version with lion and am looking for a printer that is compatible

I am looking for a basic printer and all that I have looked at say they are compatible with 10.6 or lower

Most all new printers are supported by the Apple's drivers. If not, then check the manufactures web site before buying the printer.

I just bought an iMac. It was to come with pages, numbers, and the presentation software (like power point). I can't find these programs.

Have you checked your Purchase and Updates at the app store? You will usually need to accept them and then download/install. If that does not work, you can follow these instructions:

IMac won't startup with SL Install Disk

I purchased SL for my 20" Intel core-duo iMac and can't get the computer to get past the startup screen (grey apple with spinning bars) with the install disk. It starts up fine using the original system disk, and I've repaired the hard drive and tried to repair the permissions (some won't fix), but I wasn't worried since I was planning to run an archive and install. Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be related to my hard drive?

no, it couldn't have anything to do with the hard drive. the hard drive is not involved in booting from the DVD. first try cleaning the dvd and then try booting again. if that does not help boot from the main hard drive, insert the dvd and verify it with disk utility. also checksum it with disk utility. (Images menu->checksum). most likely it's a bad dvd.

Just bought an iMac. Since there is no DVD with the OS in the box, what am I supposed to do if I have a problem? Do I have to pay to pay to get a copy of Mountain Lion? It's not that pricey but still when you pay such a price shouldn't it be included?

Do I have to pay to get a copy of Mountain Lion? I know it's not that pricey but still when you pay such a price shouldn't it be included? Considering the fact that people who bought a computer a few months ago without Mountain Lion can download it for free, I think I should have the right to get a free copy too, no?

If you have a problem and need to reinstall, you don't have to pay.

Hola & welcome to the Forums!
Have you noticed any problems, like Time zone or Time display?

WhyWontThisWork:
I can definitely how frustrating it must be to not be able to take pictures or even view pictures that have already been taken with your LG Dare.
Since this problem has started, have you tried to either:
a.) put that memory card in an alternate phone to see if the pictures can be viewed on there
b.) use a card reader/adapter in a computer to see if the pictures can be viewed on the computer
c.) take the memory card out of the phone and then try to take a picture?
What I am trying to determine is which of the 2 is defective (phone or memory card)
If you are able to view pictures in another phone, or on the computer , then you may have a bad card. If that is the case, you can transfer the pictures to the computer and then format the memory card by
Note: This procedure will erase all data on the memory card. It is recommended to back up the data.
From the home screen, touch the menu tab.
Touch Settings.
Touch SD card & phone storage.
Touch Unmount SD card.
Touch Format SD card.
Once you have done the formatting, try to take pictures again. If you continue to have problems it more than likely is the phone.
Also, in order to access PixPlace, log into your MyVerizon account, at the top, you should see "Messaging" go down to "Manage your photo albums" once there, you should see "My Media", however, if you have already received a message advising you that your album would be deleted if you haven't logged on in more than 180 days, all pictures have then most definitely been deleted. Again, we do send warning messages once the online album hasn't been accessed in 150, 175, 180 days respectively prior to deletion.

I just bought an iMac yesterday. I'm trying to transfer my iTunes purchases

I haven't had a Mac since I was about 6 years old. I just bought a Mac yesterday because our PC bit the dust and I needed something quickly for an art project that is due next week. I want to upload my music to the computer, and I'm having a problem.
I deauthorized all 5 of the other computers that my iTunes account was set up on, and most of my iTunes purchases were transferred. However, all of my most recent purchases begin to upload, but then this box pops that says: "Attempting to copy to the disk 'Macintosh HD' failed. An unknown error occurred (-39)."
Like I said, I'm still not entirely comfortable with my new Mac, it was just out of the box yesterday and I don't understand how everything work with it. So what exactly does this message mean, and how can I get my music on the iMac computer?

unfortunately from the UK you can not call Apple support
Last time I was there, UK still had telephones. Has there been been some sort of event that has rendered telephones obsolete?

I download quite a few magazines through the app store on my iPad. I just bought an iMac and was wondering if there is a way to transfer those purchases over so that I could read them on my Mac?

You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".
