Just given an iMac air for gift...always been a pc user. i migrated from my pc but can't find the docs on my imac
I just received an ima air as a gift. I have been a PC user in the past. I migrated my files from the PC but cannot find them on the imac. Also, is it reommended to use a second anti-virus program and is safari the best or is google chrome better.
To find your documents open Finder, it's the leftmost icon on the dock ( a blue/white face) - it's the Mac equivalent of Windows Explorer and allows you to browse your hard-drive and create a folder hierarchy.
You don't need antivirus on a Mac, not a first nor a second!
Safari is as good as it gets.
Hope this helps, good luck with your new Mac!!!!

I have a receipt for a rented movie but can't find the movie in iTunes or on Video app.
I have a receipt for a rented movie but can't find the movie in iTunes or on Video app. Shouldn't it show in my movie file on iTunes or Video app on iPad?
If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into its Videos app - if it hasn't completed downloading then it might still show in the iTunes app in a Downloads tab in it (Downloads only shows if there are downloads happening), the iTunes app on your iPad is just the store.
If it doesn't show in Videos then does it show via the iPad's spotlight search screen : pull down the centre of the homescreen (not from the very top of the screen, that will open Notification Centre) ?
If you rented it on your computer's iTunes then you will have to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and use its Movies tab to move it over to the iPad - rentals are a one-time only download, so won't show on your iPad for redownloading.
If you can't find it on the device/computer that you rented it on then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com -
trying to rent a movie on apple tv for the first time and have to authorize my computer but can't find the itunes menu that allows me to do this. any thoughts out there?
If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

Hi, I purchased Acrobat Standard XI, but can only find the CD for windows. I have a mac (I have access to an external CD drive and I have the product keys for windows). I have never installed it anywhere else. What is the best way for me to install it?
Hi lintonm86921521,
I can understand your concern & will guide you through this.
I am so sorry to inform you that Acrobat XI Standard is not available on Mac, you can only use it on your Windows computer.
You can also refer to the system requirements at : System requirements | Acrobat family of products—older versions (XI, X, 9)

Our exchange server crashed and we lost all contact and calendar data. We found an app to get the contacts off of people's phone to import but can't find the same for calendar. How do I get my calendar info off my phone and in to new exchange server?
You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes.

my itunes are on windows 97. just got windows 7 laptop. when i load new software on my new laptop it shows all my windows 97 music/audiobooks but can not find the files. how do I link them
iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
Media is only where the user puts it.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. -
I purchased an ipad for my husband in 12/2011 - it was stolen last night and i can't find the receipt with insurance and warranty.

If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

HELP! I had iPhoto on my mac, for some reason it was not responding or damaged. down loaded a new version but can't find my photos. any ideas please. I thought once on the mac always on the mac.
Sorry but we need details to help
What version of the OS do you have? What has changed since iPhtoo worked?
What exactly is the problem - you say "it was not responding" - You downloaded a new version (what version)" -you can't find yoru photos" none of which is helpful
look in your applications folder - is there an Iphoto application there? If so get info and report the version
Look in the picures folder - is there an iPhoto library there? If so exactly (including exact error messages) happens if you double click on it?
what else can you tell us that might help us assist you?

I registered a digital copy of a movie on disneymoviesanywhere. I connected the account to my itunes account but I can't find the movie on my itunes account. I'm just trying to download the movie onto my ipod touch.
Hey cptniemo,
Thanks for the question. Connecting your iTunes Store and Disney Movies Anywhere accounts should sync all of your eligible Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies between both services. After connecting your accounts, you can check your purchased history in the iTunes Store:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Alternatively you can download the free Disney Movies Anywhere app from the App Store (iOS 7 required):
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/disney-movies-anywhere-watch/id766894692?mt=8&uo =4
For more information and support with Disney Movies Anywhere, see this resource:

Just installed, but can't find the application anywhere?
I just spent 3 hours installing Logic Pro on my new 3.06ghz iMac, and I can't find the program at all. It confirmed that I finished installation and that it was ready to be used, and I can locate the loops (aswell as The Numbers Game, which is on my desktop) but Logic Pro is NOWHERE to be seen. Any clue how I can find it? I followed every instruction in the manual. Someone told me to just open a logic file, then logic would open, but that's not working. Please help me.
Open your harddisk, open the Applications folder, hit command-2, click the Name column and use the alphabet to find *Logic Pro* .

Hi,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I see you want to burn a CD from content from your iTunes. The following article provides information on how to do that.

Where can I find the Serial number if the unit was stolen?
From an apple support page:
iTunes
Connect iPod to your computer.
When iPod appears in iTunes, select it on the left side of the iTunes window under Devices.
Click the Summary tab, and your iPod's serial number will display on screen. For iPod shuffle (1st and 2nd generation), click the Settings tab.
If your iPod is not currently connected to your computer, but has been connected to your iTunes library before, follow these instructions:
Hold down the Control key and choose Help > About iTunes (Windows) or iTunes > About iTunes (Mac).
Release the Control key.
As the iTunes and QuickTime version information scrolls, you will see the serial number of the last connected iPod as well as the last connected iPhone's serial number and IMEI.
Tips:
Hold down the Option key (Shift key in Windows) to reverse the scrolling.
Press the Space bar to pause the scrolling.
You can copy this information to the Clipboard and and paste it into a document.
In Mac OS X, choose Edit > Copy (or Command-C).
In Windows, press Control-C.
Note: In iTunes, when you view the iPod serial number, you can choose Edit > Copy to put the serial number on the Clipboard. You can then paste the serial number into an email or web page (for registration, for example).
