I have just received a new iphone 5s and need to set the Apple ID with my work email. I used my work email on my personal iphone 4s to set up an icloud account and it will not let me use this email as the Apple ID on my new iphone. As it is a work phone I need to use this email address as my Apple ID. How do I do this?

when you open the app store scroll down to the bottom it will display the apple id currently in use, change it to your normal apple id email

I'm new to mac and was wondering if my imac came with a spreadsheet program?

I'm new to mac and was wondering if my imac came with a spreadsheet program?

No. It comes with iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand.
You can purchase and install Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Cant set up mail account... (most likely just due to my Noobiness.)

Hello.
Im abit of a noob.
I go into the mail application. I fill out my full name, Email address, and password.
Then, it takes me to a page where in asks me the account type, incoming mail server, and password.
It gives me the options of POP, Imap, or Exchange for account type.
and I dont have any idea what any of those mean.
for "incoming mail server" it gives me the example "example.mail.com"
and im still not sure what its asking for, I enter in all of my mail extensions, to no avail.
my Email addresses are [email protected] and [email protected]
I should have been able to figure this out via the help menu, but after I type in the help keywords I cant click on any of the options that pop up. I only get a "boop" sound.
please help.
Thank you for your time.

You need to know what type of mail accounts you have at each of your mail ISPs. Since you set up these accounts you should know if they are POP, IMAP, or Outlook Exchange accounts.
If you currently access these accounts from another computer you can check the setups on them to obtain that information including the incoming and outgoing mail server domain names. Alternatively you can ask at the domains where these mail accounts reside for the information. Your university should have a site with information on configuring different mail applications to access your mail at the institution.
You can obtain general help by selecting Mail Help from Mail's Help menu.
Without any other information than you have provided there's little more we can do to help you.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Setting up mail account with SSL off on iPhone 4

Is it okay to do this? It was the only way to get my mail accounts to work.

It is OK especially if the account or accounts do not support being accessed via SSL. Accessing an account via SSL is more secure and should be used if supported by the account. If not supported by the account, SSL cannot be used.

Imac will not read a cd rom and I cant eject it!!!!! Help please

I have bought yesterday a new imac 24 inch with snow leopard. I was loading my music and pictures so I inserted a cd in the drive. The icon does not appear on the desktop so I can not open it or drag it in the recycle bin. I have tried to use the eject button on the keyboard and that does not work. I tried all other suggestion on this discussion board:
I put it to sleep and then woken it up with the eject button. Did not work.
I Logged out user and tried eject button. Did not work.
I tried to restart keeping the mouse button down but I got a blue screen with the spinning wheel for ages.
Now the imac will not shut down anymore unless I push the on/off button for few swconds (if I try through the apple menu I get the blue screen for ages with the spinning wheel).
I went on the disk utility in applications and tried to eject from there. I get a message that says I should close the programmes that are using the disc.... but there aren't any as far as I can see.... Any ideas????? Thanks

I posted this twice in error and the issue was resolved thatnks to advice in the other post.

Not necessarily the best solution for gaming, but it may work with Sims 2:

I have just brought home a new ipad 2 and i cant get it to my itunes to recognise it, my pc was picking it up as a camera but i have stopped that . I cant sync it with itunes

i have just bought a brand new ipad 2 and i cant get it to sync with itunes on my pc, running windows vista. Tried all the stuff on the itunes diagnostics but still cant get itunes to pick it up. Any ideas.

Try both of these -
Connect your iPad to your computer
Open My computer / Computer
Locate the Apple camera icon
Right click on it and go to Properties
There should be a place to set what will happen each time the device is connected, set it to do nothing.

I am new to LR and have it set up on a Mac desktop and laptop. On the laptop, the Basic function under Develop simply disappeared. I am lost. Help.

It's a common issue. The Basic panel is merely hidden.
Hiding/unhiding panels is actually a feature of Lightroom but it is unintuitive - few people know it exists - so most newcomers are thrown when a panel somehow gets hidden.
Right-click anywhere in the right hand side panel area and a context menu will appear.
Click the Basic option to make the Basic panel re-appear.

Updates come through Software Update not the App Store. If you have to reinstall Lion that is done via Internet Recovery.
OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery
OS X Lion- Run Software Update to use Lion Internet Recovery
Lion maintenance and recovery operate via the Recovery HD. It's possible to create a separate recovery disk on a flash drive using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.
To boot into the Recovery HD:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
