Will I loose apps (excel, word,etc...)when I delete the orig admin. on a used Mac pro

I purchased a used mac book pro late 2009 model and wanted to know if I will delete the applications(excel,word,etc...) if and when I delete the original administrator. I was able to create a new administrator ID, so I want to delete the previous admin. Also what else would you reccommend in setting up the Mac book to get the old owner info off the system, is there a way/ how do i change the system password, etc...? Obviously I am new to macs, any and all info would be great! Thanks for the help!!!

Did the seller give you the License keys and the DVD disc, or discs, to re-install and re-activate those MS Office programs? If not then you should delete them as they are not yours and he sold you pirated software.
Also if that 2009 Mac came with Mac OS X Lion installed when you got it that is another piece of pirated software and you will have no way of Reinstalling that version of OS X without the sellers Apple ID and Password.
Also did he supply the Original System Discs, which there should be 2, with the system? If not you will need to contact Apple and get a Set of Replacement Discs for that system for a fee of around $40. Then wipe the drive, reinstall the version of OS X that originally came with that system. Then get whatever discs or downloads are needed to upgrade that system to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then buy Lion or Mt Lion from the Mac App store using your own Apple ID.
Or you could just return it to the person that sold it to you and get your money back.
Caveat Emptor.

When I plug the battery cord in to my mac pro, it says it is charging, but no light comes on and the charge is still low. What's going on?

When I plug the battery cord in to my mac pro, it says it is charging, but no light comes on and the charge is still low. What's going on?

Good grief! I had not plugged the USB jack all the way into the headphone port on the iPod. Having taken that action, the iPod shuffle works great. My bad, as they say.

I downloaded an upgrade but when I try to put it in the applications, it says the file is locked. when I unlock it, it still doesn't let me drag it, and reverts back to being locked when I close the window. I am using Mac Lion.

I opened Firefox this morning and it told me I needed to download a newer version. I downloaded the new version. I got the image prompting me to drag Firefox to the applications folder. When I do that, it asks if I want to replace the old Firefox, I click 'yes' and enter my password. It tells me the file is locked. I open 'get info', unlock the file and enter my password. It claims I have read and write access privileges. I then try again to drag Firefox to the applications folder - it says the same thing about the file being locked. I check again under 'get info', and Firefox has reverted to being locked again. I unlock it again and without closing that window, i.e. when it is still showing unlocked, I try again to drag it. Same message.
Now I can't use Firefox at all because it has corrupted the old version I was using and I am unable to download the new one.
I am using Mac OS 10.7.2, Lion, on a MacBook Pro.

What exactly is the error you get?
How are you attempting this copy?
There's almost certainly a way to accomplish what you want to do (probably best from the terminal possibly copying the entire user dir and fixing up permissions, etc.) but I'm not sure you will end up with the results you want. There are plists in the preferences dir that you probably don't want to copy over (e.g., many of the com.apple.* prefererences). And many apps also create more than just plists. There may be stuff in Application Support, LaunchAgents, Internet Plug-Ins, etc.). And this would be stuff you do want to copy. Bottom line is it is not a trivial exercise which is probably why the system is slapping your hands for even attempting it

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

Why may mac starts all programmes (word, excel..etc), when I turn my mac on?

why may mac starts all programmes (word, excel..etc), when I turn my mac on?

Make sure that Open at Login is not selected?
... and that you have not checked the box "Reopen windows when logging back in"?
... and Word, Excel etc are not included in the items listed in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items?

Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.

Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.
And I thought the whole point of an App Tab was to always have those tabs there no matter what window is open all the time period.
It's a minor complaint but I would really appreciate the option to permanently have them there.

I thought that app tabs would be more persistent, like pinning programs to the taskbar in Windows, but this is not the case.
Instead, once you close a Firefox window, all its tabs and app tabs are lost.
Essentially, this means that the close button in the upper-left corner of a Firefox window is now a "kill all open tabs and loose all App Tabs without warning++ " button. That is not cool.
I realize that "Firefox > Quit Firefox" behaves as intended, but many people use the more obvious red close button instead of the menu to close windows on a Mac. And it is easy to forget that the red button is now also an app-tab-death button. I've lost my app tabs many times to this issue. It is an unforgiving user interface decision which hampers the usability of app tabs. Why should I go through the extra clicks of setting up app tabs if I can loose them so easily?
Ideally, App Tabs could be saved separately from the currently open windows (perhaps create an option to save then to a special Tab Group that opens on startup?). App tabs would be exceedingly useful to me if they weren't so easy to loose.
On that note, saving Tab Groups would also be a useful functionality.
++ You will get a "closing multiple tabs" warning if you have only one window open, and that one window has multiple non-app tabs open, and you have enabled the warning in Preferences. But this too unreliable to help prevent the loss of app tabs.

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like microsoft office products ...excel, word etc. I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
13-inch: 2.6GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2

That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!

HT201628 will i loose apps if i reinstal itunes in my windows 7 pc

will i loose apps if i reinstal itunes in my windows 7 pc

No. Your iTunes library is kept separate from the application itself, & merely reinstalling iTunes should not touch your library. However, good computer practice dictates you backup before you do stuff like this, just to be safe.

Yes, they all should if it's Peer to peer, or if any Router, Swith, Hub in the mix also supports GigE, & Jumbo Packet support is a big plus, but Computer to Compter should work with Jumbo Packets methinks.

Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)

HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

App bar not appearing when I tap the ellipses

I'm trying to get my app bar to appear when I tap the 3 dots at the bottom of the screen, but when I do so it doesn't happen. Anyone know
why & how this problem can be rectified?

When I debug, the app runs as normal and doesn't crash when I tap the elipses hence nothing happens.
Does your tapped handler get called?
It looks like your buttons stack panel may be on top of your ellipses. Try reversing that so the ellipses are on top:
<StackPanel Name="ButtonsStackPanel" Grid.Row="1" Orientation="Horizontal">
<AppBarButton Label="tfg" Icon="Add"/>
<AppBarButton Label="tfg" Icon="Add"/>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock x:Name="DotsTextBlock" Text="" FontSize="14" FontFamily="Segoe UI Symbol" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top"
Tapped="DotsTextBlock_OnTapped">
</TextBlock>
You can also use the Segoe UI Symbol "More" character to match the standard more ellipses rather than trying to implement your own. A step further would be to make it a button so that it has proper clickable semantics and will work properly with the
keyboard, although for this specific use you can get away without it since you'll provide standard Windows+Z AppBar behaviour.
