Selling my iMac and have multiple questions

I am selling my imac with applecare still on it. First off, how do i transfer applecare? I see you can in the terms and conditons but it is kind of hard to understand. what exactly do i need to email to [email protected]? Second, I have Mountain Lion installed on my computer, but you get updates and such through the app store. Is the OS tied in any way to the apple id I purchased it with? Like will the new buyer be able to update and never see my apple id show up or need it? And lastly, how to I go about preparing the hard drive for a new owner? i.e. wipe all data, writing over it, not sure what the best option is here, then how to get mountain lion back on there as new computer. Thanks.

See > How To Prepare a Mac For Sale
and/or > MacTalk - Preparing Your Old Mac for Sale
As for installing an OS X, install the original OS X that came on the iMac as per the above article's and let the new owner thru Setup Assistant establish a new ID and personal account for buying App's and Upgrades.

IMac running 10.7.5 and have 2 question marks from old PPC apps, which I cannot locate to remove from the system? Any suggestions please?

iMac running 10.7.5 and have 2 question marks from old PPC apps, which I cannot locate any links to remove from the system? Any suggestions please?

Hello, if those Question marks are in the Dock, it means OSX can't find them either.
Right click on the Q mark & choose Remove from Dock, might be Roght click or click, then Options>Remove from dock on later OSX versions.
Sometimes you can just drag it of the Dock, or CMD +drag it off.

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder? I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder. Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks. I suspect that will work.
With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages. If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

I have just purchased a new iMac and have uninstalled cs6 from my old iMac. Do I just install CS6 as normal or do I need a new code. My licence is for one user

I have just purchased a new iMac and have uninstalled cs6 from my old iMac. Do I just install CS6 as normal or do I need a new code. My licence is for one user

Yes, just install as you normally would using the serial number you originally used.
You did not have to uninstall on the old machine - with your single user license you are allowed to have two activated installations. So feel free to reinstall it if those are the only two machine you plan to have it on and you'd like to have a backup installation.

How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder

How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder
In simple terms, I wanted to view the photos in Windows system, similar strcture of iPhotos

If you want to copy all of your photos to a Windows machine and have them in folders representing the iPhoto Events the were in quickly and easily just do the following:
1 - open the library with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
2 - COPY the Originals/Masters folder to the Desktop.
3 - copy the Originals/Masters folder to the Windows machine.
This will give you all of your original image file in their Event folder on the Windows machine.
NOTE: With iPhoto 8 or newer the Event folders in the Masters folder will be titled by date (EXIF) if imported from a camera. If imported from a folder the event folder will have the same title as the source folder. If imported singularly or in a group without a folder the title will be a date, either the EXIF date or import date.
With iPhoto 7 (08) and earlier the Event folders in the Originals folder will have the same title as the Event has in the library.
This method would be quicker but not provide the additional metadata you might have added in iPhoto like keywords, titles, descriptions that exporting out of iPhoto with Format=JPEG and the checkboxes selected to include keywords, titles, places, etc, checked.

I am running Snow Leopard on my iMac and have partitioned my hard drive to run Windows XP. If I upgrade to Yosemite, will I still be able to run XP?

...Now what happens if I upgrade to Yosemite on either my iMac or my MBPro?
If I install VM Fusion or Parallels, does Windows run all the time? How does that affect computer performance? and how much do I need to worry about hard drive corruption?
Current versions of Fusion and Parallels are compatible with Yosemite. Both are applications which you only run when you want to run Windows within them. As such, there's no effect on computer performance when they're not in use. Like any other software, there is some additional load on your Mac when both Windows and the Mac OS are running together, but any noticeable effect depends on what each is being expected to do and what resources (e.g. available RAM and the number of CPU cores) you can devote to each.
I think there's less chance of HD corruption with a VM than there is with running Windows natively on the Mac in Boot Camp. Consider that, with a VM, you can create Snapshots of the state of your VM at a given time, and then, if something goes wrong (virus, malware, software installations), you can simply restore the Snapshot in a matter of seconds and eliminate the problems in the process. Moreover you can make a backup copy of the entire VM file, and replace a later version if you wish. Also consider that you can assign, say, 100GB of HD space to the VM, but the actual space devoted to the VM is only what's actually used; as more is needed, more is made available and Windows can't tell the difference. So, for example, my Win 7 Pro VM has an 80 GB virtual HD but only takes up 45 GB on my SSD, and that's with XP Mode in VPC installed inside it.
Microsoft no longer supports XP, though virus signature updates are still being issued. But MS has installed a pop-up message about EOL that won't go away (it's installed with KB2934207). Even if you remove that KB in Add and Remove Software, the pop-up continues. But if you have a Snapshot or a backup which is prior to it's original installation, you can skip installing KB2934207, and suppress it's reappearance on a Software Update list.

I just bought and iMac and have lion installed. I'm trying to use interactive graphs at yahoo finance. Nothing shows on the screen. I assume I have to download something but don't know what or where.

WhyWontThisWork:
I can definitely how frustrating it must be to not be able to take pictures or even view pictures that have already been taken with your LG Dare.
Since this problem has started, have you tried to either:
a.) put that memory card in an alternate phone to see if the pictures can be viewed on there
b.) use a card reader/adapter in a computer to see if the pictures can be viewed on the computer
c.) take the memory card out of the phone and then try to take a picture?
What I am trying to determine is which of the 2 is defective (phone or memory card)
If you are able to view pictures in another phone, or on the computer , then you may have a bad card. If that is the case, you can transfer the pictures to the computer and then format the memory card by
Note: This procedure will erase all data on the memory card. It is recommended to back up the data.
From the home screen, touch the menu tab.
Touch Settings.
Touch SD card & phone storage.
Touch Unmount SD card.
Touch Format SD card.
Once you have done the formatting, try to take pictures again. If you continue to have problems it more than likely is the phone.
Also, in order to access PixPlace, log into your MyVerizon account, at the top, you should see "Messaging" go down to "Manage your photo albums" once there, you should see "My Media", however, if you have already received a message advising you that your album would be deleted if you haven't logged on in more than 180 days, all pictures have then most definitely been deleted. Again, we do send warning messages once the online album hasn't been accessed in 150, 175, 180 days respectively prior to deletion.

Regarding the tutorial part, there are api in the "Dynamic Help" box,

Can I update only from my iMac and have data flow to iPhone and MacBook, not the other direction?

New to iCloud and Lion. Can I update via iCloud only from my iMac and have data flow to my iPhone and my MacBook, not the other direction?

No. Syncing means bringing both ends to be the same.

Where did you find that offer? You have to assess the offer and see how it applies to your circumstances. If zero interest is offered then you have to respond to that particular offer.
We cannot advise you about that, I'm afraid.

This is complete rubbish. Please don't post misinformation - new users find the forums confusing enough without you adding to it.
When you see that notice it means that the thread or User Tip has been removed. A User Tip may have gone out of date and been removed at the author's request. With a thread it means that someone, usually the original poster, has violated the Terms of Use by ranting, spamming, personal abuse or other content which is not allowed.

I have just updated to OS X 10.9 on my iMac and have lost my Startup Disk... how do I get it back?

The storage level is held on the server so signing out of your iCloud on your Mac wouldn't affect it; and you can't delete an iCloud account from the server.
Are you absolutely sure that when you signed back in you signed in with the same Apple ID as before, and didn't create a new iCloud account by accident (because it does sound as if that is what has happened).
If you are sure about this then only Support can unravel it for you. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then ' 'iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption'.

Is there a way to get an apple mail folder exported to outlook mail folder structure? I'm using Gmail on my IMAC and have a PC for work. Want to share folder structure between systems.

Is there a way to get an apple mail folder exported to outlook mail folder structure? I'm using Gmail on my IMAC and have a PC for work. Want to share folder structure between systems.

Use following steps to import apple mail to outlook:
Choose Mailbox->Export Mailbox, or choose Export Mailbox from the Action pop-up menu
Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the exported mailbox.
Outlook for Mac: Choose File->Import Mailboxes. Select the mail application you want to import messages from.
If it does not work then you should use third party apple mail to pst applications. You can easily search in Google about these applications.
