    How can I put my name on a used computer

    Not if you change the access passwords to the computer. Id change the master password and then any user account passwords. Actually, if im being honest, on buying the computer i would do a fresh re-install of the OS anyway and set the computer how i would like it with my own loin details.

    OSX :: CDs won't mount

    Hey there. If you go into "System Preferences" -> (Hardware) "CDs & DVDs", check what actions are set for when you insert a cd or dvd and choose what you would like to happen when you do from the drop down boxes. See if this helps, if not report back.

    why cant the red button close the program?

    The red button merely closes the window as oppose to quitting the application like windows does for example (same as Key Command Apple + W) OsX is geared towards using key commands, so simply Apple + Tab (bing) to the desired application and Apple + Q (Quit) will close it.

If you are not sure about repairing permissions you do it through, Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utilty then select your root drive (the one OSX is installed on)...
