Apps crashing, boot slow, want to wipe and clean install

Is there a good way to find what needs to be preserved in order to wipe and clean install? I tried Archive and Install, and though it helped, I'm still having issues with scanner software:

Archive and Install preserves all of your apps and prefs. including VueScan and something is messed up with your VueScan install. Try removing VueScan and any associated files (search for any files containing "VueScan") and reboot. If you still have problems post back.

  • G5 is slow want to do a clean install

    Hi,
    I'm not very technical and reading up on different ways to reinstalling the operating system seems complicated and it seems it can cause problems if not done the right way.
    CAn someone explain to me the best way to do start my computer from fresh - in simple terms.
    I haven't got tiger yet, but I will upgrade to that next week some time.
    I've backed up all my work onto external HDs. I have the original disks for my applications such as photoshop. Would I just re-install these.
    Thanks from a girl that's not technical

    The easiest way is to update from the Tiger DVD. That may or may not be the "best" but it should work, and great to see you have backed up your files first (if only more would!).
    There are changes of course with 10.4.x and your DVD should contain 10.4.6 as that is what has been available now for over a month or longer (not sure when).
    Fresh will result in the best performance, take longer, but would be best. I noticed that an 'upgrade in place' worked but later went and did a fresh install (erase the disk drive fully from Tiger DVD).
    I keep all of the updaters I need on another disk drive, and even burn to a DVD. I have about 2GB worth of software updates for applications, or applications I bought but don't have CDs etc. Updates to iLive, FireFox, Shockwave, etc.
    At work we would do a walk-through. We would practice, end up with at least one or two "live tests" or even run the old and new software in parallel for a week to make sure there weren't any problems. Dress rehersal.
    Make sure that you have a bootable backup now. And keep that handy always. Later you can update that to Tiger, but you always want an older, reliable bootable system or clone.
    how to start and drive a car - if you have kids, you've probably had to stop them before they 'practice drive' up and down the driveway or something.
    Backing up a system tends to be harder than just backing up work. Make sure the version of Photoshop you have works with Tiger - whether you have the latest or not (and latest might be right, or you might want to let others "kick the tires" first and make sure there aren't any problems).
    Any 3rd party software or hardware you use, should you need to update, now is the time to check into that. The "Special Reports" section on the right side of Macintouch has two topics of interest they started a year ago when Tiger came out on "Incompatibile" and "3rd Party Updates."

  • I have a Macbook 2,1 and want to wipe it clean so as I can give it away.  I do not have any original start up disks and wondered how I can do this?

    If your Mac is running 10.6 like your signature says, then the 10.6.3 upgrade disks will work as they contain the full 10.6, you need to hold the option key down to select the disk to boot from.
    Once booted from the disk, Disk Utility is there to wipe the drive (use the Security Option > Zero) and then reinstall O S X 10.6.3 and then reboot, press the power button down to hard shutdown and the machine will stay like that to boot into the Welcome to Mac video for the next owner to setup.

  • How do i wipe and re install my imac

    im trying to wipe and re install my imac any help appreciated     i have no disc.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If your iMac didn't come with DVDs, follow these steps:
    1. Hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your computer is starting to start in Internet Recovery. You may need to connect the iMac to a Wi-Fi network.
    2. On the OS X Utilities window, open Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" on the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
    This will reinstall the original OS X version that came with the iMac. If you want to reinstall the actual version, hold Command and R keys instead of Command, Option and R keys. The reinstall may take hours because the Mac has to download OS X from the App Store

  • How can I wipe my hard drive and clean install Mountain Lion?

    Hi I have a 21.5 inch mid 2011 iMac running Mountain Lion, I want to wipe my hard drive and clean install Mountain Lion. I dont want all my stuff back, just photos and music, the rest I'll reinstall my self. I also dont have a exteranl harddrive. only two USB's one 2 GB and the other 8 GB. How do I do this? And I dont want to pay for mountain lion again. Thanks!

    I made my partition and am currently reinstalling mountain lion to put on my flash drive. I'm using Lion disk maker 2 thats compatible with mountain lion. I'm doing it right, correct?

  • Why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box

    why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box

    I'm thinking that you have a > Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications because the 2010 model's only have Core 2 Duo processors and the 2011 had the first i5 processor. 
    2 GB of RAM is the minimum requirement for Mountain Lion, but it's hardly enough to really enjoy doing anything else.
    see > Memory and Free Installation Guides for Apple Mac Mini
    Plus I don't have any problems running Mountain Lion and a load of App's on my 2010 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM.

  • HT1553 I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. Can I do this without a DVD version of the OS, and can I restore only specific things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries from Time Machine backup.

    I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. Can I do this without a DVD version of the OS, and can I restore only specific things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries from Time Machine backup.

    Mountain Lion is only available as a download, so there is no DVD to purchase. What you can do is download ML and then stop it from installing as soon as it's on your drive. From there you can make your own bootable ML flash drive.
    When your purchase and download Mountain Lion, it will end up in the Applications folder and automatically want to install. Press Command+Q to stop the install and exit. The installer will remain on the hard drive.
    1) Right click on the installer and choose "Show Package Contents".
    2) A folder will open on the desktop. Drill down to Contents > SharedSupport and double click the disk image InstallESD.dmg to mount it on the desktop.
    3) From here you can either burn a DVD, or copy the contents to a flash drive. Personally, I would strongly suggest using an 8 GB flash drive formatted as Mac OS Extended. You will be able to boot to it in about 30 seconds instead of at least 10 minutes off of a DVD, and it will install MUCH faster. Make sure the flash drive is empty, or you've copied anything off it it you need as it will need to be erased.
    4) Don't just drag and drop the contents you see in the open disk image to the flash drive. It won't boot that way as it will be missing some hidden files. Open Disk Utility. You will something similar to this:
    5) To accomplish the above, highlight either the flash drive's single partition (as I did), or the item at the bottom (Mac OS X Install ESD), which is what you will see with the Lion disk image mounted. It doesn't matter which one you pick. You'll then have the option to select the Restore tab towards the upper right. Drag and drop from the left column into the Source and Destination fields as shown above. If you've already erased the flash drive, you can uncheck the box. Click the Restore button.
    You've just made your own bootable Mountain Lion USB Flash drive installer. Once you boot to the flash drive, run Disk Utility first to erase the drive you want Mountain Lion on, then continue with the install.
    As far as restoring your iPhone and iTunes libraries, I couldn't tell you. So I wouldn't do any of the above until someone else chimes in with a way to do that after a clean install of ML.

  • Selling my HP 7410xi all-in-one printer; want to wipe it clean of settings...

    I am selling my HP 7410xi all-in-one printer and want to wipe it clean of all my settings (FAX, Network and etc.).  Is there a better way than using all the factory defaults options in the printer's "setup" screen?
    Previously, I had an HP technician walk me through a complete factory restore of this printer by simultaneously pressing a few buttons.
    Thank you,

    I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my computer and my installation of Adobe Design Premium CS3 is not functioning. I cannot start it to get in and deactivate the Creative Suite installation.

    if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
    but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

  • What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2?  I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

    What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2?  I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

    If the bank account permits, I suggest getting a 1 TB SSD anyway.  One cannot have too much storage. 
    Unless you are having issues with your current installation, a 'clean' install is not necessary.  It would be more efficient to clone your current drive to the new SSD, test it, and then do the swap.  The installation of Mavericks over Snow Leopard can be done either before or after the cloning process.
    Ciao.

  • I have made a bootable copy of ML and want to load it on another laptop running SL. What do I need to do in order to avoid losing any files. I do not want to do a clean install.

    I have made a bootable copy (8GB thumb drive) of ML and want to load it on another Apple laptop running SL. What do I need to do in order to avoid losing any files. I do not want to do a clean install. I know ML is comptible.

    I'm getting an error message when ML is almost completely installed and it stops the install. Is there any way to get back to the snow leopard operating system and scrap the ML install at this point. I had to shut the Mac book off and when I started again it tried to install ML a second time. It is still trying to install but at this point I don't want to screw anything up any further so just want to get back to SL.
    Any suggestions.

  • I have Acrobat 9 on a PC I no longer use. I want to download and re-install on a different PC. What is the best way to do this?

    I have Acrobat 9 on a PC I no longer use. I want to download and re-install on a different PC. What is the best way to do this?

    Hi Chaos2015,
    Could you please specify whether you have Acrobat 9 Pro or Standard version.
    You need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine and then install on the new one from a CD/DVD and then activate with the same serial key.
    If you do not have installation media, then you can download the Pro version from the below mentioned link:
    Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
    Please note that you can activate the software on maximum two computers. For example: Your desktop at work and laptop at home

  • I want to do a clean install, but how to use Time Machine to get my data back?

    I want to do to clean install of my Snow Leopard OS system...all my data is backed up on my TM. I heard if I restore from Time Machine any system errors created then will have an effect on the clean install? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose? So how am I supposed to get around that?
    Any help would be appreciated, since it would be my first clean installed ever performed (I'm a bit scared, lol).

    would it be okay to delete the Time Machine back up then and use the external hard drive as a normal back up of all my stuff copied over to it by drag and drop?
    Leave the TM drive alone, it's a extra backup as you should have two separate hardware backups of your data at all times. Use another new drive for a copy of the files until your safely up on the fresh install, then erase and reset the TM drive to your new configuration.
    It didn't occur to me that TM would keep the system as it was...and I'm just now learning about TM. I'm glad I have decided to ask before I proceeded to install!!
    TM copies stuff over in a general manner, trying to keep what you have just like what you had, which unfortuntly if something goes wrong that isn't the best course of action because you don't want the old junk back on the new machine.
    So since it's incrediably difficult to cherry pick exactly what you want when restoring from TM, it's better to have the user files on a regular drive (no TM) when doing a fresh install.
    It's really not that hard restoring manually, just create the same named user and drag and drop the contents of the User file folders (music, pictures, documents, movies) right into the new folders on the new user.
    You do a fresh install in this manner.
    1: Backup files manually to a external drive, disconnect all drives.
    2: hold c boot off the 10.6 disk, erase the drive and reformat (wipes all contents)
    3: quit and install 10.6, reboot and go through setup, create the same named user as before
    4: Software update to 10.6.8
    5: install all programs from fresh sources
    6: last files cherry picked from backup (do not transfer Users/Library)
    In that spefic order for best performance.
    It's not excactly as perfect as TM restore, but then you don't get all the problems back.

  • Erase And Clean Install Error

    Hi Guys,
    I'm attempting to reinstall OSX on a Macpro - 10.4.10 using the Erase and Clean Install. All goes well with the first installation disc and all is going well with the second disc until it gets to garageband where it freezes and then stops installing and says that I need to try and reinstall again - I''ve tried three times now - is there something I am doing wrong or need to do differently to bypass this problem.
    Thanks

    First off, there is no such thing as an erase and clean install option. These are these Mac OS X installation options:
