Will I need to purchase a new mouse or pad to use the new Lion"

Will I have to purchase a new mouse or pad to use the Lion? I currently use a wireless mouse that came with my 4 year old Mac. I have upgraded and can use the Lion. Thanks!

You can use your mouse with Lion. You will not be able to use the Multi-Touch gestures option.
From Apples web site:
More ways to Multi-Touch.
Every Mac notebook comes with a Multi-Touch trackpad that lets you use a full range of gestures. With iMac, you can choose between the Multi-Touch Magic Mouse or the even more gesture-friendly Magic Trackpad. And you can add either option to Mac mini or Mac Pro. So every Mac comes ready for all the Multi-Touch advancements in OS X Lion.

You need the Multi-Touch Magic Mouse. To get the best out of the Multi-Touch gestures it would be best to get the Magic Trackpad.

I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort?

I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad to use while traveling back and forth from the U.S. to Australia, and within Australia. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality of the iPad in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort? I have never owned an Apple product before -- I'm a newby!

Aside form the limitation of LTE to the 700MHz and 2.1GHz bands (which rules out LTE in Europe I gather, at least as it stands now) the new iPad should let you use a GSM 3g/2g/edge network anywhere. The CDMA Verizon model will only be able to use it's native CDMA radio band in the USA (that radio will be locked to Verizon), but it's international GSM radio is the same as the AT&T model.
Keep in mind though that by far the cheapest option when abroad is to take advantage of free wifi as much as possible (well, that is always the cheapest option, since it is free). I know several people who have taken their wifi-only iPads and iPad2s to Europe and said they did not find the lack of 3G really inconvenient at all as most towns had plenty of free or cheap wifi access all over the place.
And in 3 years, your iPad will be at least 2-3 generations behind, LTE will have already been replaced by 5G or whatever the next new generation of cellular ends up being named (and the "young" kids will be wondering what the heck 3G even means or meant - dang that stuff was from the olden days!), and you can pitch that ancient piece of technology and start things all over again

I have Lightroom 5 and not sure if upgrading will make mine version 6 or do I need to purchase a new version? [was: Question]

I was wondering if anyone could please give me some advice. I have Lightroom 5 and not sure if upgrading will make mine version 6 or do I need to purchase a new version?
thank you

You can buy the upgrade and it will install version 6 (with your version 5 serial number making you eligible to pay the lower upgrade price).
Only those who have never previously owned Lightroom must pay full price for the full version of LR6.
The program code for full and install is identical. The only difference is the price you pay.
Version 6 will install alongside your version 5. It won't remove version 5 during the installation process. It's up to you whether you leave version 5 installed or uninstall it.

Will i need to purchase data plan if i buy unactivated smartphone while on contract with a basic phone?

II have a basic phone that is still in contract with a family plan of other basic phones that is not the share everything plan. If i buy my friends unactivated smartphone (DROID X 3G) will i need to purchase a data plan?

yes, all smartphones require a data plan; you don't have to switch to the Share Everything plan unless you want to (and then all lines on your account would have to switch) ... you can add a tiered data plan (i.e., $30 for 2 GB) for your new smartphone.

HT4352 Lost my remote to my Apple TV and I can not turn on home sharing w/o it. Does this mean I need to purchase a new apple Tv

Lost my remote to my Apple TV. Downloaded the remote app to my iPhone but you need to have home sharing turned on the Apple TV to use this. Does this mean I need to purchase a new Apple TV?

Any code association only applies to 1st gen Apple TV.
Again, the remote app will need home sharing enabled on the APPLE TV. They also need to be on the same wifi network. The OP has a new network.

Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. Then iWork would be listed as purchased app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account...

Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. I assume that if I buy an iPhone 5s (or 5c) then iWork would be listed as a "purchased" app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account... or are keynote, pages, and numbers completely seperate between ipad and iphone? I know they would be a seperate purchase for my Powerbook. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi,
I was able to load the Productivity Suite / Free !! on both my iPad mini and my iPhone 5s with no problems and at no cost.

I aam thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new Apple compatible version of Lightroom, do I have to pay to upgrade or can I get the new version free?

I am thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new, Apple compatible, version of Lightroom, or can I upgrade to it, or can I get it free as I've paid for the PC version?

Your licence is not platform specific, so Lightroom can be used on any two machines (Mac and/or WIndows), with one actually being used at any given time.
So no, you're money's safe!

1. The library will remain as is. Back it up anyway.
2. Authorize that computer individually before connecting the iPod touch to it.

Unfortunately yes, but Snow Leopard is still a great OS in the meantime so don't rush in too quick if you really don't need to.
Good Luck

Changing platform from Windows to Mac - do I need to purchase a new license?

I am contemplating changing over from a Windows based computer to a Mac. I recently upgraded from LR2 to LR3. Do I need to purchase a new license? How do I install my existing license no. on the Mac since I selected Windows when I upgraded. Thank you.

You do not need a new license or a new serial number. Just download the Mac version and use your existing serial number.
