Just Purchased a MacBook Pro- What is the Everything Else package?

Inside there's a 13-inch MacBook Pro Mac OS X Install DVD and a 13-Inch MacBook Pro Applications Install DVD- do I need to install them? What do I do with them? Thank you As you can see, I'm pretty much new to the Mac world so thank you for taking the time to answer me!

Just like with a PC, the CDs are included for the worst-case-scenario of you having to reboot the entire system. They're used if you have to clear the harddrive and re-install the operating system and basic programs like iLife. As to what to do with them, keep them aside in a drawer/folder or something so you know where they are and you won't lose them. Enjoy your Mac!

Just Purchased a MacBook Pro. What it the best Adobe product to get to be able to view PDFs?

Just Purchased a MacBook Pro. What it the best Adobe product to get to be able to view PDFs?

Yes, Mountain Lion has a convoluted method to do a "Save as", but try this. Open the applicable PDF, from the "File" menu select "Duplicate". This will create a copy of the PDF file and highlight the name at the top of the page. Here you can type in a new name, and a gain from the "File" menu select "Move To" or "Save" to save the resultant, newly named PDF.

I have just purchased a macbook pro. I downloaded two sd cards, one via lightroom 4 and the other via iPhoto. I can't find the latter card when I try to import via LR4. In fact i can't find it at all unless i open iPhoto. where is it?

Good Evening, I have just purchased a Macbook Pro, and have downloaded two SD cards of a trip to USA and Canada last September. One via Lightrooom 4 and the other via iPhoto. I tried to import the SD card via iPhoto into Lightroom 4 but could not find it. I tried to find this "folder"? via other means with no success. however when I open iPhoto, there it is, so it must be on the Hard Drive somwhere??? I am new to Apple having decided to jump ship from Windows. Would be grateful for any help.

iPhoto is a - like Lightroom - Photo Manager. It's a database. Like any db to get data out you have to export it.
File -> Export
and in this case set the Kind to Original.
iPhoto is a $15 app, LR is somewhat more expensive. As they both want to manage the photos there's no good usage scenario where you use both. Pick one horse and ride, essentially.

hienn,
Not yet. There was an upgrade page to 10.8.2 for the late 2012 models but it's down now. I have to assume that Apple pulled it because of some bugs. I would look for something next week, more likely than not. In the meantime, the OP should be good with 10.8.1 until the update shows up again.

I just purchased a macbook pro and was wondering about an install disk. It seems to be missing some of the applications that should be on it from a fresh install. I was wondering if I would have to purchase a new OS and do a fresh install?

Ahhh, well you never mentioned that before. You need to contact your friend from whom you purchased the computer. He/She should have any and all install discs for any third-party software included as well as for OS X and the original pre-installed software.
Apple will gladly sell you replacements for any discs that did come with the computer originally, but they will not do anything for you because you purchased the computer used. If it's in warranty still, then you can get any warranty covered things taken care of through AppleCare:

Just purchased a MacBook Pro and working on IMovie. Can I burn my movie on a plain DVD??

Just purchased a MacBook Pro and working on IMovie. Can I burn my movie onto a DVD.? (I don't have IDVD and understand it's not available to my computer.

No. You need a DVD authoring application such as iDVD.
New machine purcahses do not include iDVD and iWeb as part of the iLife '11 suite of apps but that doesn't mean they don't work in Lion.
Apple no longer sells iDVD or iWeb so you'll have to search for a reseller of the iLife '09 or '11 DVD or use a more expensive authoring app like Toast.

To be able to use documents at iCloud.com, you need at least one iOS device that uses the same account with at least one of the iWork apps installed.
