Lucky me. Both old and new OS on my MB Pro. How do I eliminate the old?
Long story short: Last night, I installed OS 10.5.7 (this is what it shows on the disc and I purchased my MB in 2009) in order to replace my keychain password and now I don't know how to update to the new architecture. "About This Mac" shows the current version as 10.5.8. Prior to this, I was running the most current Version (2011) of OS - I'm not sure what version that was but not Snow Leopard.
I didn't archive (I thought I did but I guess I didn't) but my 2011 files were saved in a folder that was created and titled with the date and time. I can work within my 2011 user settings, primarily, but a few programs will not function (e.g. Apps).
Basically, I just want to run the computer as I did a few days ago.
If anyone has any helpful thoughts, tips or pointers, I would most certainly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
If you're also having problems changing the account on your iOS devices, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have to use microsoft office 2007 and 2003 for windows and I'm using a macbook pro, How i can get the on mac?
You can either use Office for Mac 2011 or use Boot Camp to run Windows or use a VM, such as Parallels Desktop to run Windows. Running Windows, you'd be able to use MS Office for Windows.

I have a purchased version of Chess (from Apple) on my old iPod. Today I got a new Gen. 5 iPod. HOW can I get the chess app onto the new iPod, or do I have to purchase it again?
Either sync it from your iTunes library or redownload it directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
Original OSX 10.5.6 and app dvd's (that came w/MBP) lost,and have recv'd replacement dvd from Apple. Once hard drive is erased and new OS w/dvd instl'd, how do I insure all applications bundle - that came with MBP - will reinstall?
Your profile says you have 10.6, so why bother with the original 10.5 OS?
But to your question, before you erase anything, make a backup of your data for safe keeping and restoration. Having an external hard drive for this purpose is most useful. -
I have been sharing my iTunes account with my kids...now they are getting older and want to have their own accounts, how do I share the songs I purchased for them on my account with them on their new accounts? Is there a way to transer from my main account their new accounts? And can I share music from my account with them?
You can't currently transfer content from one account to another account. As long as the tracks are on the computer's iTunes that they use/sync to, and your account is authorised on that iTunes, then they should be able to continue to use them.

I purchased an album and didn't receive all of the songs. I have iTunes 9.2.1 so I can't use the new 'Downloading past purchases" feature. How do I get the other songs? Using an Iphone 3Gs
Look under the Store menu in iTunes on your computer for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the tracks there to be downloaded.
If not, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department from their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form, or an "Email Us" button) and explain the problem to them.

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there. At present, I am unable to listen to songs on the iPod when not connected to the computer. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for any help!- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes. -

Also, what Adobe software do you use? -
I just installed the latest version of iTunes to get the updates and new software on my iPod but it hasn't updated my iPod or put any of the new software on there either. How to I get the software to sync onto my iPod?
Are you sure it's not 6.1.6? If it is, that is the latest iOS version that will work on a 4th generation iPod Touch. Later versions require a 5G iPod which has twice as much RAM.

2 days ago both mine and my daughter's macs stopped being able to open up the apple start up page
2 days ago both mine and my daughter's macs stopped being able to open up the apple start up page, search google, yahoo, facebook and many other sites. Pictures won't download on sites and we are redirected to http://www.website-unavailable.com/main?url=www.apple.com%2Fstartpage&w=1280&h=6 21&ifc=0# with an orange O in front, which is OpenDNS Guide page. We live in NW England, has anyone else had similar problems and any suggestions how we can resolve our problem?
Have you tried another browser (chrome, firefox, and checked your router for blocked websites?) and also quit Safari and reopened? Also reset your cookies (Safari > Preferences... > Privacy ), or reset Safari (Safari > Reset..), or Empty Cache (Safari > Empty).

Hi tapanb34358563,
Could you please let me know what error prompts on your screen when you are trying to enter the serial number.
Have you bought subscription for Acrobat, if yes then you might need to sign in at "adobe.com" using your Adobe ID credentials to activate subscription.
