Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed? I do not think it has been synced with a computer before.

Disabled
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
Otherwise y will have to restore and thus erase the iPod
You can restore from backup
If not in backup then:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

-iPod touch Deleted Photo Recovery Tips You Should Know
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

If i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

if i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

Depends on how you do it
If you create a partition with Boot Camp and format that partition correctly
Then install Windows your data should not be touched
If you do anything wrong or there is any mishap during the whole procedure you could lose everything
Hence the reason I suggest that you backup first

On my 2008 MacBook I am running 10.6.8 with Microsoft Office 10.1. Will this version of Office work if I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

On my 2008 MacBook I am running 10.6.8 with Microsoft Office 10.1. Will this version of Office work if I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

No! Even Office 2004 will not run under Lion and newer. You can check out http://www.libreoffice.org/ and iWorks applications to replace Office.
Check your applications for Mavericks compatibility here: http://roaringapps.com/
Note: a new version of Office for Mac is expected later this year or early next year. Buying Office 2011 now is buying old software. There will be no credits for older versions. The next version of Office will be subscription. This is the best option I know currently for subscription. This includes a free update to the new version when it's released.
Office 365 Home Premium 1yr Subscription

Connect your iphone to your computer
Hold down the home button and the power button until the screen goes blank

If I upgrade to Mac OS X Lion, will i lose all my data that i currently have?

Only if something goes wrong.
If you have good backups, you should be fine.

No.
Just reinstall iTunes.

Will I lose my app data when I upgrade to ios 8

I Am considering upgrading to ios 8 for the new apps and features it brings but I am wondering if my apps will work on ios 8 and data will be saved? I know that when I upgraded to ios 7 all my data was still there, and I have heard ios 8 is similar to ios 7 in terms of look not like ios 6 to 7.
p.s. If this is the wrong place to post this question move it to where the right place is.

My iPad 4 runs fine on IOS 8.1.2, you should have no problems. To second what mende1 has already said be sure to make a backup first. The one time I had troubles with a update and needed to restore my iPad the iCloud backup fully restored all my infomation.

Will i loose all my time capsule data if i upgrade to mountain lion from snow leopard

i am thinking about upgrading from SL to Mountain Lion
is there anything major i should be concerned with?
will my time machine backups be availible?
i mainly use Logic Pro

Ok, then it looks like you need to start "from scratch:" Power it off for a couple of minutes, then back on, and follow the manual.
Be sure it powers-up and the yellow light comes on.
If you don't have the manual that came with the TC, it should be one of these:
Time Capsule 802.11n (1st Generation) - Setup Guide
Time Capsule 802.11n (2nd Generation) - Setup Guide
Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd Generation) - Setup Guide
Time Capsule 802.11n (4th Generation) - Setup Guide
I'm not an expert on that, plus it's late here, and I need to go to bed soon. If you still have trouble with this, your best bet will be to start a new thread in the Time Capsule forum at: https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/time_capsule. That's where the networking gurus hang out.

Lost all my preferences when I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

I upgraded my Xeon to Mountain Lion from Lion
I had my System and Apps on Drive 1. I keep my data on Drive 2.
When I installed the new system the installer would not recognize Drive 1. Said it was not "journaled". It would not let me install the system without me wiping the drive. So I Installed the system on Drive 2.
How do I get the System Disk (Drive 2) to see all my old preferences?
How do I get the new system to recognize all my Apps on drive 1?
How do I get all my Mailboxes, local mail and such over to Drive 2? When I tried to import my mail the import wizard would not recognize Drive 1.
Thanks very much for the help.

I would
1. Boot from disk 1 to your old operating system
2. Get another external disk that us the same size in gb
3. Format the external disk as mac osx extended journaled using disk utility
4. Get SuperDuper (free) and clone your disk 1 to the external
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
5. Once disk 1 is cloned to your external check you can boot from external disk
6. Once booted from external disk then do an upgrade
7. After making sure all is ok on booted external then use SuperDuper to clone from external to disk 1
8. Boot to disk 1 after cloned and check again.

Will my Microsoft office 2011 work when I upgrade to Mountain lion?

I want to upgrade my Macbook Pro snow leopard (10.6.8) to Mountain Lion, but I am unsure if my Microsoft Office 2011 will work when i upgrade. I do not want to end up buying it again.

Tested, works fine.

The only account on my macbook is a standard account. I need to somehow get an administrator account. How can I do that, and if I do, will I lose all my data?

I got my macbook from my dad a while back, and I tried to make me the administrator. But in doing so, I somehow activated a root user, and now my account (which is also the only account now) is a standard one, so I can not download apps, etc. How can I fix this without losing my files?

Option 1
If you've enabled root logins, log in as root and promote the other user to an admin.
Option 2
Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) and restore your system from the last Time Machine snapshot taken before the damage was done, if you know when that was. Afterwards you can restore any data that has changed since then from a later snapshot. If you’re an advanced user familiar with the shell, there may be a quicker fix, but I prefer not to get into that.
Option 3
Back up all data, then boot in single-user mode (command-S at startup.) When the text stops scrolling, follow the prompts to make the boot volume writable. Then enter the following command:
ls /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
You should get the following line of output below what you entered:
/var/db/.AppleSetupDone
If you do, then very carefully enter the following command:
rm !$
Now you should get the following output:
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
Then enter
reboot
The system will boot into the Setup Assistant, as if you were setting it up for the first time. Skip the prompt to transfer information. Create a user with the same name as the old admin user. Log in and test. You may need to recreate your other user accounts, if any. The files won't be deleted.
