We bought a new desktop in January and were told could upgrade to Lion. How do I do this? I need the serial number....
"Bought at Best Buy"
All they're interested in is selling.
Free upgrades were only available for a period of about a month or two after the introduction of Lion, last July.
Which begs the question as to how 'new' that Mac was when you bought it - by then they all shipped with Lion.
Sounds like old stock being shifted, or maybe even a return.

I just bought a new desktop and will be taking my old one to the apple store tomorrow to have the data transferred. Does the transfer include the transfer of programs or just data?
They will simply use Migration Assistant to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. This is something you could do yourself. You would need a Firewire cable to connect between your old computer and your new one. Migration Assistant is installed in the Utilities folder of your new computer.

I bought a IPad Mini in January and cable just started going bad 2 days ago.
I bought a iPad Mini in January and the lightning charging cable is having issues very sensitive and will stop charge if moved to much.theres no sign of damage on the cord and it doesnt get bent. so is this a common thing with these cables? it seems to be loose by the neck of the lightning pin it just started 2 days ago. thought it was my power sources, though now I've confirmed it's the cable that's loose. does anyone else have this issue? does anyone have a suggestion for a better cable that's durable? I have seen a lightning cable flat wire, which seems to be a better choice. though I'm not sure. it needs to be durable and long it seems to be hard to find the best one. so any suggestions?
why dont they make other types of offical Apple lighting cords is that so hard? Theres ones out there by other companys who have made the lightning cord wire thicker and more durable, its like the choices at the moment are keep getting a replacement cord from Apple until (A) you get one that stays working or (B) the year warrenty run out and your forced to buy a new cord..... well I'll be on route to contacting apple for a replacement cord and pray and hope that I get to stick to plan (A) I thank all who have replied. though I have a new question to the community before this topic gets solved or closed. How does the replacement thing work with Apple? I just need a new cord I have the online receipt for the Ipad mini purchase, they don't need my iPad mini too right? its just the cord that gets sent to them, then they send me another? and is there any suggestions on what to do with the new cord coming to make it last a long time? headphone tubing, tape etc. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you everyone.

I am using FCP 7.0.3 on my Mac Pro. I bought a new mac book pro and loaded the software on to the lap top but the software is 6.0.3. How do i get the update to the lap top?
.. and by the way, the jump from FCP 6.0.3 to FCP 7.0 (or higher) isn't an "update" It's a full version "upgrade" that has to be done using the install discs (or disc images).

Hello! I have a printer,Canon MP250 and I bought a new MacBookPro with Maverick and I cannot work this printer with the driver that came with the printer and I've tried to find an update but with no success, can you help me?
Thanks!!you can try resetting the network settings in settings or you can try doing a reset - hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release. Then wait for the phone to boot back up. You won't lose any data.

I have just bought a new I pad 3 and want to give my I pad 2 to a friend. What will I have to do to clear my info on the old I pad and set it up on my new one? How are apple I D effected and passwords cleared?
Any advice welcome.To clear to old before passing it on, open the Settings app and tap on General (left hand menu). Scroll down and tap on settings, then tap on Erase All Content and Settings.
If you have been synching the iPad to iTunes on a computer, you should also have backed it up. If you havn't backed it, you will want to do so before clearing the settings and use the back up to set up your new iPad.

I bought a new iMac. iWeb and all its folders migrated over, no problem, but I cannot bring up my website - it only seems to allow for creating a new site.
You need the 'Domain' file in which iWeb keeps its data. This lives by default in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb. You need to locate it on the old machine and copy it to the same position in the new machine. Note that it is the Library folder in your Home folder, not the one at root level.
This folder is hidden on Lion and above; to access it, in the Finder go to the ‘Go’ menu and hold down the Option (Alt) key; the Library folder will appear as a choice. In Mavericks you can make it permanently visible - open your Home Folder the from the Finder's View menu, choose show View Options and check Show User Library. -
I'm trying to get a new desktop pc up and running with all of my old files.
OS = Windows 7
Copied my music files
Installed iTunes
When I try to run iTunes I get the error message ... The file "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
How do I resolve this issue ?

I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and did a migration of the content of the old laptop (also a Mac Book Pro) to the new one. Now I cannot start Photoshop CS6. When I am starting it I have a window "Adobe photoshop CS6 extended" opening requesting a connexion. When I am entering my password for the connexion the software crashes. How can I fix the problem?
Migrating, transferring or copying is DEMANDING trouble, not just asking for it.

I just bought a new 2013 Honda civic and my iPhone 4S won't pair with the cars Bluetooth device but it did on other people's iPhones; I have no other Bluetooth devices on my phone. Any suggestions?
I have to ask,
Are you making sure you are in park before attempting the sync? The car won't allow you to do it in motion, whether or not you're the passenger.
