Just purchased new iMac. How do I download free os x Lion?

Greetings Peter,
The website for Lion up to date is here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
As Csound1 suggests you should definitely check with all the software manufacturers whose software you depend on to ensure their software is compatible with this new OS.  If you upgrade without checking on those program's compatibility you may find yourself without tools you rely on.
You should also backup all your data prior to installing any new software for safekeeping: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553.
Cheers.

    The simplest way, is to erase the drive and reinstall the OS X.

    Other than that, you will have to trash all your User files, delete all the photos from within iPhoto and then empty the trash.

  • Just purchased new iMac/need to transfer e-mail and a few other questions.

    Hello,
    I just purchased a new iMac yesterday, and so far so good!  I had an iMac with Leopard, however, it was time to upgrade.  I was using Time Machine, and I was able to move my music and photos to the computer ( I did not want to mirror my new computer with the old one except for my iTunes library and iPhoto library ) so I moved them manually.  I did have to delete the iTunes folder and iPhoto library that was already in the home folder though - I assume that was correct because it worked.  Also, iPhoto had to "upgrade" while opening my pictures due to the older version of iPhoto - this was supposed to happen right? 
    So, the only other thing that I want on my new computer is my old e-mails.  I set up mail which was quite easy, and about 250 of my messages came back - what happened to my inbox that was over 1,000 e-mails?  I really would like everything back.  These messages must be on Time Machine - can I move them as easy as I moved the pictures/music? 
    I have to say, it's nice having my entire old computer on an external harddrive - it's made this process much easier. 
    Thanks in advance!

    1. Your method of migrating iTunes/iPhoto is one of the more 'dirtier' ways to do it, but absolutely works with no harm. The way you transfered (by deleting the library folders) can sometimes erase previous settings/content, but seeing as the libraries were empty and from a fresh install, no harm is done.
    2. iPhoto update is okay!
    3. To import previous mailbox backups from Time Machine: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11713
    Hope this helps.

  • Just bought a new imac and tried to download all my music from my iPod but it only allow me to download purchased items and not the rest of stuff stored on a previous pc itunes folder. How do I get round this ?

    Just bought a new imac and tried to download all my music from my iPod but it only allow me to download purchased items and not the rest of stuff stored on a previous pc itunes folder. How do I get round this ?

    The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
    See "External Drive" in this article-> iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

  • I just purchased an iMac.  How can I use apps purchased on my iPhone and iPad on my new laptop?

    I just purchased an iMac.  How can I use apps purchased on my iPhone and iPad on my new laptop?

    1) Congratulations on purchaing an iMac. But an iMac is not considered a laptop.
    2) Apps you bought for you iPhone and iPad can interchange with each other, but can NOT run on an Imac or a MacBook.
    You will have to buy the same title again from the Mac App Store. When you do, you can run them on your iMac and your MacBook.

  • HT4530 I just purchased an iMac and developed a user name and password.  I'm trying to install a program but can't because I forgot that information and didn't write it down.  How do I reissue a new username and password

    I just purchased an iMac and upon setting it up I initiated an username and a password.  Unfortunately I didn't write it down and now I'm trying to add software and the system won't let me because I forget that info.  How do I reissue a new usernam and password?

    Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
