WHERE TO FIND THE Mac OS X to reinstall the programs?

If you're talking about OS X 10.6 or earlier, iLife and other programs are on the application disk, usually the second disk of the set. If you need a set, you can call Apple Support to see if they are still available for sale for your system. The first disk is the operating system.
If they don't have the original OS X disks for your system, you can buy OS X 10.6 from the online Apple store, via phone or online. And the iLife programs from vendors like hardcoremac.com and on Amazon.com. OS X 10.5 is no longer available from Apple and has to be bought from a vendor or used. If you buy used, buy a retail copy and not the gray-faced copies, as they are locked to the system type they are delivered with.
If you're talking OS X 10.7 or later, those are loaded from the App store, as there are no disks included with those systems.

Barry, the other stolen computer, my IMac does not show me a locked on such and such date, but simply says offline. I set that computer to erase when it goes online and notify me when it is found, and to play a tone and play a message that the police are on their way!

Why is the Mac App Store part of the OS?

After reading about issues a lot of people are having with the 10.6.6 update, I think I'll pass on it. I don't understand why Apple made the Mac App Store part of the system software. Why couldn't it be in iTunes like the iTunes & App store? Is Apple acting like Microsoft and pushing stuff on us that we may not want as part of the OS?

What specifically do you believe Apple is getting away with? Basically, Apple is extending the same OS-level features to third party developers that in the past it has reserved for its own apps, including one-click download, security checks, & installation. Moreover, the terms & conditions of use are readily available, as is the same Help topic support as with any other Apple app -- all you have to do is read it.
Sure, you have to buy many of the apps in the Mac App Store, but what is slimy about that? Doesn't the word "Store" tell you that?
Does anyone know where to search for all those great applications now, or is getting a new OS the only answer.
Try a Google search on "Mac apps," or any of the related searches found at the bottom of the search results page.
And at least for now, http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ still works in the same way it always has.

Hi guys, Having a problem with emoji. I have the emoji on my dock which I found a shortcut on Cult of the Mac. I click on the emoji and drag it to my email or whatever, and it will not drop into place. There is a blue square. Other shortcuts don't work.

Hi Guys,
Having problem with emoji, I have the character palette shortcut on my dock which I found through article from Cult of the Mac. I click on the emoticon and drag it to my email or whatever and get a blue box - no emoji. I tried the keyboard shortcut - doesn't work. I tried the drop down the menu in edit - doesn't work either. I am running Lion and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Want to fix this before I upgrade or should I just upgrade and hope for the best? Been all over the net looking for solution.
Thanks for your help,

Pages does not support the Apple font used for color emoji, so that behavior is normal.
With what app are you reading the yahoo mail? There is really no guarantee than any other email service will show the special Apple font involved.
You should have no problem putting emoji directly into Mail or Text edit via drag drop from the Character Viewer as shown below.
You should also be able to upload graphics here easily by clicking on the camera icon. My email is tom at bluesky dot org.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it is plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now am unable to do that. I can drag songs and albums to the ipod, but not my playlists. It used to be so easy, am I missing something here?

Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

Using bootcamp 5.1, Windows 7 home is installed but missed installing the drivers disk. How to install the Mac drivers for windows after the fact.

While using Bootcamp 5.1, and OS X 10.8.2, I partitioned my Mac disk with 80 Gigs for Windows 7 home and the install went great, but I must have missed the time when I was to install the Mac drivers disk to install the drivers for Windows,(when in Windows I don't have a mouse or optical drive.) Is there a way to install the drivers after Windows is installed, or do I have to go through the whole process all over again?

Press X key after the startup sound to boot into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant, download Boot Camp drivers and burn them into a USB drive or DVD. Finally, boot in Windows and install drivers

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

What exactly is the error?
And, we'd need some info re. your Mac model and OS version - you are not running iOS on it.
You need to realize that this model has been discontinued and the last driver updates are dated about a year ago. If you are running Mavericks, there may not be an updated driver for it. But you can try to delete the printer and add it again to see if that will work.

Although it is possible to insert podcasts into a playlist on the Mac, these are not in the playlist on the iPod after SYNC

Sambino,
You should be fine. Just make sure that you download and install the P2 drivers for your PB. Also, if possible transfer directly to your external. P2 cards can eat up a lot of space very quickly and you don't want to overburden your system drive.

Don't understand?
There is no "main" itunes.
Your "stuff" will be wherever you put it.
Copy it from wherever it is now to wherever it is that you want it.
Perhpas if you explain, more help can be given.

Thank you so much for responding. I will look for the other disks.
One more question - I initially decided to do this because my Mac kept opening with the date changed to 2008, and I keep having to re - enter my Web key. In addition, it was running much slower. Since I 'cleaned' everything out, I thought all would work perfect. This morning, the date changed to 2008; again AND it again asks for my Web key. Does this mean my Mac has reached it's almost end or could I have a 'bug' on it?
Again, thanks so much for your suggestions.

I just got an IPAD2 on Saturday. With the Mac, I could always tell when programs were open/running by going to the menu bar. How can I tell what programs are running in the background. I am struggling with not being able to go to a menu bar at the top

You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.
If you haven't already got a copy then you can download the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

Message "Unable to find nigpib.inf You need to reinstall the NI-488.2 driver

I get the Message "Unable to find nigpib.inf You need to reinstall the NI-488.2 driver software" before the Getting Started Wizard starts. I cannot find this file on the NI provided CD labeled NI-488.2 for windows version 2.2. Help.

First, what GPIB hardware (part number and serial number) are you trying to install, and what is the operating system?
Next, please go to Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) Help to generate reports from the System Information and Support Section. Please post the operating system and NI Software info.
Also, please describe the state of your machine before the NI-488.2 installation, and how you progressed through it before reaching the error. For instance, I installed LabVIEW 7.1 and all the default settings of the Device Driver CD, and then installed .... The MAX report and this will help determine how the system got into its state. If you got any errors during the process of installation, please describe in as much detail as you can.
Based o
n the information above, I may have other suggestions about how to resolve this problem, but you may try the following first: Go to Add/Remove Programs and choose to Reinstall the NI-488.2 driver in the National Instruments Software section. Reboot, and try to run the Getting Started Wizard again.

I can't sync my notes from I-phone and Ipad2 to the mac anymore, not even with the usb cable!

I can't sync my notes from I-phone and Ipad2 to the mac anymore, not even with the usb cable!

I'm also having this problem.
In fact two things have stopped working with my iPhone recently.
1. iTunes no longer launches automatically when I plug in my iPhone to my iMac.
2. The iPhone Notes app has stopped syncing via USB lead between the iPhone and the iMac.
I have tried closing applications, and rebooting both the iPhone and iMac, but this makes no difference.
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac.
My iPhone is a 3G running iOS 4.2.1
Can anyone help?
