I have Mac OS  on my iMac deleted but have windows XP installed, how can i get the Mac OS back?

The problem is that i don't know how to get the MacOS back. I cannot take it to the store to get it fixed there so i think i have to deal with everything myself. I still have my CDs with the OS. Should i get rid of windows fisrt? Oh, and also, CD drive does not work anymore, will i be able to do whatever i should with a usb CD drive?

: ) yes, actually it is 10.5.2. that's so terribly clumsy of me
thanks anyway

  • I accidentally deleted a folder of music from iTunes.  I have Match, and now it seems deleted from all my devices.  How can I get it back?

    I accidentally deleted a folder of music from iTunes.  I have Match, and now it seems deleted from all my devices.  How can I get it back?

    Were you in iTunes or the Finder? If you were in iTunes what exactly did you click? You say "a folder" but the only "folders" in iTunes contain Playlists and deleting a playlist will not delete tracks from the iTunes library.
    When you deleted the music were you prompted to delete the tracks from the cloud? If so, did you do so?
    Were you prompted to move the files to the Trash. If so did you do so? If you did have you emptied the Trash?

    Your web pages on MobileMe have been deleted. If you were using iWeb you wouldn't have been able to open them anyway.
    As long as you have the iWeb 'Domain' file in your user Library, or whatever the program you are using stores the information in, on your Mac you can publish to another hosting service - there are plenty to choose from. More information here:

  • How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV?

    How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV? I currently do not have an HDMI device to connect it to, and the MAC is not listed on the box or the Apple TV itself.
    (to answer the obvious, I am trying to pair it with an iPad, and I need to register the Apple TV for the network so the two can see each other)

    As long as I know java doesn't have support to work on link-layer, only internet and transport layers. You may write simple native code. On windows, IP Helper functions, like SendARP allow you to pass an IP address and get the hardware address. You store the hardware address on your database/file and later, when that machine is off, you send a frame to the address you stored previous.

    I haven't seen it on Linux, but if you need help let me know I'll check the Linux API's too.

    My Safari Icon ( Button) is missing on my iMac after I downloaded a update. How can I get the icon  (Button Safari) back on my desktop and connecting again to the Internet ?...
    Thanks for the help    

    Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

  • Accidentally deleted an App Store app.  how can I get the icon back on my home screen?  when I search for it in the App Store it comes up 'open'. thanks.

    accidently deleted an app Store app.  how can I get the icon back on my home screen?  in the app store it comes up 'open' instead of install.

    What happens if you tap on open?
    Remember, if you ever want to find an app quickly, you can slide all the way to the left (iOS 6 and lower) or pull down (iOS 7 and later) to get to an app.
    If you know for certain that you have deleated the app, please try restarting your phone. There are many ways to do this, but the safest way would be to hold down the power button and then slide to power down.
    Once powered down, restart and try to find the icon on your screen. If you still can't find it, go into the App Store and then find the app you were trying to access. It should have an iCloud download symbol since you've purchased it before, rather than saying "install."

  • I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC.  Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos?  All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals.

    I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC.  Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos?  All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals.  Thanks in advance for any tips and insights!

    It's probably happing because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted).  When you enabled photo stream on your PC you would have only received photos from the last 30 days.
    To transfer older photos to your computer, create a shared photo stream that contains them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

  • In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?

    That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
    It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

    Connect the AC charge to the system. Battery will charge to 100%.
    But it is very bad to drain the battery to Zero. So don't make a habit of doing that.

  • How can I get the MAC address

    My machine has two NIC's. I need to add another network interface, however when I do so it gets assigned to the same MAC address as the interface in use. Why is that and how can I determine the MAC address of the other card to be able to assign it to the new interface?
    thanks

    If necessary, change the value of local-mac-address? as follows:
    eeprom local-mac-address?=true
    When you reboot the system, the interfaces with factory-installed MAC addresses now use these factory settings, rather than the system-wide MAC address. Interfaces without factory-set MAC addresses continue to use the system-wide MAC address.

  • Hi Guys I have asked to transfere my creative suite from windows to mac, no problem, I got the serial number, but I have a windows installation disc how to I get the mac version on my mac computer?

    HI Guys I have recently asked to transfer my Windows creative suite to a Mac computer. I received the serial number but unlike my lightroom install disc, which is win and mac, my Creative Suite disc is windows only, how do I go about installing a Mac version of my creative suite onto the Mac computer?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • How can we get the .mac password to stay?

    I've finally decided to brave the potential address book loses in an attempt to sync them all together. Two of three are able to access the .mac. This one cant. It asks me to configure .Mac first. Ok, I try to do just that, but there's a problem adding my password into the .mac area of the system prefs. When I type in the password, it removes itself when I click on the iDisk tab. It says my password is missing, and I should put it in the .mac tab. Ok,i put it back, and it re-removes it. So I put it back, & click on "sync now ". It says, "You dont have a .Mac account, please configure .mac first." Yeah, fine, if it only let me. This OS is 10.2.8, the other two are 10.3.9 & 10.2.8.

  • I'm embarrassed to ask this: when I click to initiate a new email message in the "From" box it automatically chooses the wrong email address (I have three but use one mainly). How can I get the right choice to appear automatically?

    I'm embarassed to ask this: when I click on the new mail icon to write a new email message, in the box "FROM" appears the wrong email address: I have three but mainly use one. How can I correct this so that the right email address appears in the "FROM" box?

    I assume this is Apple Mail. Try this:
    Preferences > Accounts > your-first-account
    Select Outgoing Mail Server of account/name you wish to use and check Use only this server
    Repeat for other accounts.
