Here's instructions on replacing the hard drive http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case, partition and format it, and clone your old drive to the new one. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one.

What does it mean when you get a pop up notification saying that a phone number has been associated with your iTunes account? And what does it mean when I don't know the number that is associating with my account? Should I be worried?

I got a notification stating that a number has been associated with my now old iTunes account and it is a number I do not recognize. Should I be worried at all?

Yes, if you don't bother to change your password. You may also want to seriously consider turning on two step authentication.

I get a pop-up window saying my start-up disk is almost full. What kind of files am I supposed to delete? Have I used up the memory?

The rest of the message says I have to delete files.
Also, my iPhoto library is almost out of space...
should I be adding memory to my entire harddrive or, is
there a way to move memory from one area to another please?
Thanks!

emptying the trash often is always good. Also, check your downloads folder to make sure that there isn't anything in there you can trash (most things are find to trash, if you don't want it or know what it is, throw it away)
emptying your cache (in Safari is the easiest) is a good idea too.
anything you put on the computer can be moved to an external drive or disk, just don't move system files (IE: Library, Preferences, Home, etc...)

What does it mean when there is one long beep?

See this article. By the way, the reason no one responded is because Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.8 are mutually exclusive, and can't run on the same machine.

What does it mean when there is an I tunes symbol on the screen with a charging cable underneath that?

What does it mean when there is an I tunes symbol on the screen with a charging cable underneath that?

Turn on the computer. Take the charging cable and connect one end to the bottom of the Touch and the other to a USB on your computer (back of the computer if this is a desktop computer). iTunes should open automatically and will probably give you a message it has detected an iPod in Recovery mode. Follow the onscreen steps from there and Restore it from any backup on the computer.

It means you have a hardware problem. That could be the screen itself or the graphics system, GPU.

What does it mean when there is a flashing file folder with a question mark when trying to start computer?

When I try to start my computer a flashing file folder with a question mark is on the screen. I can't open anything up. What does this mean?

There are four general causes of this issue:
1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from its location.

What does it mean when there is a red slash through an app that is listed with my apps?

When I go to my computer and to the App Store I have noticed there is a big red slash mark on some of my apps. What does this mean?

There is a small circular red light lit up near my ear piece, I've never seen it lit up before and I haven't had my phone wet except for a few drops on the screen that were wiped away shortly after....

What does it mean when there isn't enough room to run a program?

My desktop tends to go blank and when I try to open programs such as Excel or Word a message comes up saying there isn't enough memory to run. Anyone know what could fix this? Also I opened iPhoto and it asked if i wanted to open iPhoto or iPhoto, not knowing the difference, I picked the first one and almost all of my photos were gone.

there are a couple of ways to fix this.
1) run less applications at one time, meaning make sure they are truly closed and not just off.
2) get a ram upgrade. this can be done by yourself or by taking it to an apple store.

What does it mean when there's a _ at the beginning of a username?

Example: _softwareupdate
Thanks.

OS X started using _ on system groups a few releases back; that convention started with 10.5.
I'd start your own thread for the groups question. As for any group limit, haven't seen that one with OS X; if you're hitting some limit with groups or ACLs or a tool you're using, you'll want to post up some details of the version (10.8?), the volume structure used the output of the id command and the ls -ale@ for the ACL.
The local root account has twenty groups, so I'm not sure what you're seeing with that limit.
Alternatively, you can log a bug directly with Apple asking for the limit to be increased.

HT1498 What does it mean when there is a movie that has "available for rent" on a date that has passed already, but you still are not able to rent it?

Really want to rent a movie through my Apple TV and it says "available for rent 4/8," but it is 4/25 and it still isnt available. Just curious.

The studio hasn't supplied it or given the rights for iTunes to rent yet. If you want an official answer contact iTunes.
