Why can't my new iMac find my windows laptop?
Followed all the instructions but cannot get a connection between new iMac and a similar spec Windows 7 laptop. Not a good start to my Imac experience but I'll blame the other machine for the moment.
Both or at least one of them should be allowed to be shared. On your mac, go into System Preferences > Sharing and see if File Sharing (at least this one) is checked.
Which instructions is a good question, of course. Instructions to what? The router, the PC, the iMac?

Why can my iPad no longer find my wireless printer?
Why can my iPad no longer find my wireless printer? Anyone know? It is an HP Photosmart 5510 printer. I had no problem a couple of weeks ago when I first got the printer. Very annoying! Many thanks jonni

Did you make any changes to your system, like a new Wifi router? Some are not compatible with AirPrint.
One possibility is that you have a print job stuck in the print queue. Double click your Home button, and a row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Print Center. If it is there, you should be able to delete any stuck print job.

I see that iTunes will only sync 5 devices to my iTunes account. One of my 5 is an old iPod that has not worked for years. How do I delete it so I can add my new iMac to my iTunes account?
iTunes Authorizations are limited to 5 Computers and 10 devices total. If you've already reached the 5 computer threshold, removing the iPod won't do any good. Nevertheless, here's some more info:

I am trying to import aperture library from macbook to new imac the import window sees the external harddrive but does nt see library. I can open library as a refernce library but cannot import onto hardrive as managable files
I may be misreading what you are trying to do but you don't import libraries via the import window. You use File->Import->Library..
If this doesn't resolve your problem post back with more detail of what you are doing and what is happening.

Why can't brand new MacBookPro9,1 (OEM Mountain-Lion) boot from Snow Leopard on external drive, or internal partition?
Is this because of hardware changes? Or firmware changes? Or is it just and Apple Inc. administrative fiat?@Steve Holton: Sorry Steve, but you're wrong about that one . I'm using 10.8 (purchased and downloaded) on the internal HD of this MBP8,3 (2.2 GHz, 17"), and I am also able to boot into 10.7.4 and 10.6.8 from external FW800 partitions.
However, I DO have problems with my MBP9,1. It came with 10.7.4 installed and ran fine. Then I purchased and installed 10.8. It ran fine but could no longer boot from 10.7.4 on an external partition. I then reinstalled 10.7.4 on the internal HD and discovered that it is still unable to boot (even 10.7.4) from an external FW800 partition.
One of Apple's Senior Support Advisors has done some remote troubleshooting but the case is still open and unresolved. An earlier Apple Support case suggested that when, I installed the downloaded copy of 10.8, there had been a "firmware update" (behind the scenes) that is now causing the problems with booting from my external partition(s). This apparently is "a bug": it is not what is supposed to happen.
So - I believe - "the problem" really has nothing to do with hardware capability. It is strictly about Apple's strategy for "managing its future customer base". If you don't like it - use something else - I am seriously considering Ubuntu as an alternative.
If there's a hidden caveat in all this it's probably "Read Appple's Licence Agreement VERY Carefully". -

Why can't I see shared fotostreams on my laptop
why can't I see shared photostreams on my laptop, and how do I export shared photos till f.i. fotos on my computer.
The following might help:
Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

It sounds really unlikely though... You have to type in your password twice when setting up so you either:
made the same typo twice
the caps lock was on
You held down SHIFT during one of the letters
the keys have relocated because of different language keyboard layout
you simply forgot exactly what you typed.
Are you aware that passwords are case-sensetive? also, when using punctuation in passwords be aware that language localization of the keyboard can cause relocation of certain symbols like $ and € and * and ' which may make it impossible to retype the password correctly, if you are unaware of the correct way to type a certain puntuation symbol.
