What regular maintenance needs to be done on iMac to keep it running efficiently?

As long as you don't have to force quit your computer because it has crashed, then the only things year really need to do is (1) maintain a current backup (preferably more than 1 actually, I like to keep one backup out of the house in case there's a fire or theft) and (2) keeping your software and OS up-to-date.
If you experience a kernel panic (your screen will darken and you'll get the message to restart your computer - in several languages) or if you have to hold the power key to force a restart you may experience disk corruption. After such an event you should run Disk Utility and perform a verify disk. This won't repair the damage but will tell you if you need to repair the damage. If you do get such a message, depending on your circumstances and the OS you are using, you'll need to restart your computer with the OS installation DVD or the recovery partition (if you have Lion) and run the repair disk function in Disk Utility.
Windows users are used to doing much more to keep their computers healthy but this is really all you need to be concerned with on a day to day, month to month basis with a Mac.

What do I need to do to make a our website currently running on a WINDOWS based server to a Linux Se

Will dreamweaver convert my site to work on LINUX servers..? All my pages are .asp.

To add to John, if your current site does not have any ASP/ .NET content and does not rely on a MsSQL database, you can switch to Linux host without any hassles.
If you're running any .asp, .aspx files you may have trouble moving them into Linux like John says and you need to migrate the statutory code into PHP or JSP (if your Linux host has a Tomcat extension and if you prefer JSP to PHP).
We can help you better if you tell us what setup you currently have on your Windows server.

What do I need to do on my iMac (Configure) to edit iPhoto photographs in Photoshop Elements 13?

I have recently installed PS Elements 13 on my iMac.
How do I configure the Mac and PS Elements 13 so that when i Click on edit in iPhotos the picture will appear in PS Elements for editing?
In PS Elements 12 all I had to do was go to iPhotos preferences and configure the advanced window to edit in PS Elements 12.

I just downloaded Snow Leopard to my Mac Book, now my ICalendar says I cant use this version of iCal with this version of Mac OS X, i currently have ICal 3.0.8.....what do i need to do?

Your profile shows you are running Snow Leopard. Put the Safari version you now have into the Trash. You need to reinstall Snow Leopard.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Aha, a somewhat different question. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu.
If your computer has a PowerPC CPU, you need a newer Mac.
If your computer has an Intel CPU, phone the online Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and run Software Update.

I can not get my regular mail to work since I changed to moved to iCloud. What do I need to do?

I can not get my regular mail to work since i moved to iCloud. What do I need to do to update?

Go to Settings>Wi-Fi. At the bottom, make sure the "Ask to Join Networks" is ON. When you are out and about, any network the iPad sees will be shown and it will ask you if you want to "Join" it. If it is unsecure/free you tell it yes and you should connect. However, if there is a little padlock looking icon shown with the network name, it means that it is a secure network and you need a password to join. If you don't know it, you can't join. At most Starbucks and such, the Wi-Fi is free and you should be able to simply connect. Not really that hard. There are not security settings on your iPad to adjust. You'll figure it out.
Best.

The F5 Networks Host Plugin no longer works since I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 and this is a major problem. what needs to be done to correct this?

When attempting to login to a GlasPac (auto glass) website, it requires an F5 Plugin to be installed. This has been working in the past using Firefox 3.x.x and now since I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 it says the plugin in not compatibable with Firefox 4 and will not load it so I am dead in the water !!!!!!! The FF 4.0 upgrade has caused this serious situation ... what needs to be done to rectify it ???
Thanx in advance ... Denny

Hi, We have an application built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1. When we try to download a file(.pvw file) in that application safari throws "Download failed" error. Please suggest what needs to be done.

Hi,
We have an application built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1.
When a file url is clicked instead of asking for Save or Open or Cancel options, the file gets opened on IPad by default.
Is this default behaviour which cannot be changed or can it be configured to ask user preference?
When we try to download a file(.pvw file -> a model file) in the above application, safari throws "Download failed" error.
Please suggest what needs to be done.
Regards,
Pramod

Safari on an iPad in general does not allow downloading of files. That's a safety precaution in the iOS SDK to keep unauthorized content off of iOS devices. Safari will open from the web site file types that it can handle, but direct downloading isn't normal behavior, and I don't believe the behavior can be changed, though you can try asking in the developer forum, either here or the one to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.

I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.
