Set computer to lock with password in 5 seconds. now cannot open in time because of the 5 second shutdown. What can I do to now get into my computer??

I'm not sure which option you set. Requiring the password after 5 seconds in System Preferences > Security only kicks in after the sleep or screen saver. The smallest option for sleep or screen saver is 1 minute.
Which options did you set?

I'm trying to install Adobe PS CS3 for my boss on an other computer. I put the Program on a hard disc and copied it to the other computer now it won't open and says it needs the license. What can I do to make it work on this computer?

Copying the program over to a new machine will not work. Install it using installation files and activate it using the serial number assigned to the license.

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

Cannot open I website with my pc at home. tried it on an other pc and the website works. what can i do to fix it?

We have a website at work www.trag.gr The site works but as soon as you skip intro and you try to enter the link for the Therapeutic Riding World Congress (http://www.frdi-athens2012.gr/) the link will not open. Tried it through another PC and the site works just fine. From my pc there is a message that there is a firewall that does not allow Mozilla to open the page.

You need to transfer the purchased content from the iPad to the iTunes library on the laptop. Read the post from virtualgeo on how to accomplish what you want to do.

If you are running iOS 5 and backing up to iCloud, there is really no need to go through all of that - IMO - but if you want to, it is possible to do so.
If you decide to do this, You will now have iTunes telling you that the iPad has been synced to another iTunes library each time that you sync with the other computer.

How do I set up for Help with CS5.5? I don't have CS6 but that is the only thing I seem to be able to get help on.

When I select Help from the toolbar, I get more help than I ever imagined, for versions I don't have. How do I narrow it down to JUST the version I have?

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

Trying to transfer data to my new Macbook Pro? My current Pro has Lion from last week, but my new Pro came with Snow Leopard. When I connected firewire it said I can't transfer the data because of the OS conflict, what can I do? I downloaded Lion?

I don't have the CD for Lion, I downloaded it on line through the store! I'm at a loss...

We need a little more detail to be really helpful.
Did you download and install Lion on the new MB Pro?
If you didn't that is probably the problem you can migrate from older to newer OSes but not the reverse, so if the new MB Pro is still on 10.6 that's likely the problem.
If you downlaod Lion on the new Pro, you might want to stop the install that starts a automatically and follow these instructions to make a bootable DVD.
If Lion is sucessfully installed on both machines then I'm not sure at this point what the issue is.

I changed my Apple ID and password last week. Today I cannot get into my computer with the new password..help!

Your Apple id password is not necessarily the same as your log-in password.
The former is what you use to log-in to Apple services and sites. The latter is what you use to login to your computer. That does not change when you change your Apple ID password. Try the original computer login password.

I have a question on how guest can still get into my computer when I deleted that. Plus took files of mine, change names in my phone book. Lets say they are messing with me. It is driving me a bit nuts. Help?

Hello, I have a question on "quest".????? I have someone getting into my computer. I have shut of the quest... and yet yesterday all of my files were stolen. My phone book, someone goes in and changes my phone number, and just changes so many things around. It really has me upset. Please... tell me how I can keep "guest" out for good. I bought this computer for me. Not guest, yet all I see here on the apple ways is how others can hook in, or get in to our computers.
Its upsetting, and to see how you give step by step instruction to help them get into other people's computers is upsetting, yet not much on how to keep them out. Tell me just how to keep them out for good. I have a hacker, in mine. Stealing things. I have cleaned my computer out three times, in the last few weeks. I get all set up, to only three days later, even with a new list of passwords, their back again, stealing. Please Help me Morgiegal

Data rate DOES make a difference, but I'd say your real problem has more to do with the fact that you're working on a Powerbook. Motion's real time capabilities derive from the capability of the video card. Not the processor. Some cards do better than others, but laptops are not even recommended for running Motion.
To improve your workflow on a laptop will be limited, but there are a few things that you can try.
Make sure that thumbnails and previews are turned off.
Make sure that you are operating in Draft Mode.
Lower the display resolution to half, or quarter.
Don't expect to be getting real time playback. Treat it more like After Effects.
Compressing your clips into smaller Animations does help because it lowers the data rate, but you're still dealing with the animation codec which is a high data rate codec. Unfortunately, it sounds necessary in your case because you're dealing with alpha channels.
The data rate comes into play with your setup trying to play through your USB drive. USB drives are never recommended for editing or Motion work. Their throughput is not consistent enough for video work. a small FW drive would be better, though your real problem as I said is the Powerbook.
If you must work on the powerbook, then don't expect real-time playback. Instead, build your animation, step through it, and do RAM previews to view sections in real time.
I hope this helps.

My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

Unfortunately, no. Home sharing only applies to devices sharing the same Wifi network.
iTunes Match is an alternative to look into.

You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
MM should be the default calendar on all clients.
