How can I get the memory back?

Oh. How do you do that accidentally? To reinstall from the DVD you have to boot from it.
You have only one option. Erase the drive and reinstall everything from scratch. You cannot simply reinstall OS X over OS X. I'm puzzled as to how you were even able to do that since the installer has safeguards.
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Proceed until you get to the screen where you select a Destination. Select your hard drive then click on the Options button. Select Erase and Install then click on the OK button. Complete the installation. After OS X has been installed and you complete the Startup Assistant you will see the Desktop. From the Installer Disc double-click on the Install Pre-Bundled Software to install all the additional software that came with your computer.

Is it possible to make a CD/DVD cover from exisitng Mac OSX software?

Is it possible to make a CD/DVD cover from existing Mac OSX software?

Depends on what you mean by cover and how elaborate you want it to be.
You could likely create one in TextEdit, but it wouldn't be simple.
I can't think of anything else bundled with the OS that would do that.
There isn't anything "purpose-made" for that task.

Where can I get current info on SysAdmin Certification(s) for Mac OSX SL and Lion?

Where can I get current info on SysAdmin Certification(s) for Mac OSX SL and Lion? The Apple website for this is "under construction" for weeks now...
Thanks,
[email protected]

Certification test for OS X 10.7 Lion are not available yet. I assume they will be nearly identical to the test of 10.5 and 10.6. Hopefully, the reason the certification website has been down for a while is that they are updating it with the new information. Though I really wouldn't expect any 10.7 certification test to be available for 2-4 months. Peachpit Press didn't publish their training material for 10.6 until October even though 10.6 was released in August.
As far as the 10.6 Certifications:
Certified Support Professional, 10.6 requires the 9L0-403 exam.
Certified Technical Coordinator, 10.6 requires the 9L0-403 as well as the 9L0-510 (Server Essentials) exams.
The information for the Certified System Administrator, 10.6 is "hidden" on the integral7 website but according to this Wikipedia entry, you need to pass the 9L0-510 Server Essentials exam as well as these three:
Directory Services
Deployment
Security and Mobility

I just upgraded to Mac OSX Lion and can't attach documents to my hotmail. Can anyone help?

I just upgraded to Mac OSX Lion and can't attach documents to my hotmail. Can anyone help?

Hi there,
Over the last few days, this issue has been driving me up the wall too!
I downloaded Lion OS a few months ago, but it was only until a few days ago did i attempt to logon to Hotmail to check my account & send an email with an attachment.
Normally i use the MAC Mail app, which is synchronised to my hotmail account.
Anyway, I'm not sure whether the Lion OS is the root cause of the issue, however after much digging around on various forums - the issue for me was resolved by downloading the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight 5 (www.microsoft.com/silverlight). Its a free download....

I've just installed Mac osx lion and my mac doesn't recognize (don't see) my audio interface. Focusrite Saffire pro 24 dsp.

When I open about this mac - more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth). Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desk-downloads)

When I open about this mac -> more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth) even though all the mac (programs , interface ) works smooth . Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desktop-downloads -no garbage there- everything neat and tidy.) Need some help. Only there it the animations goes like 2 fps and is not smooth. I do not understand why because the programs are the same so its the usage. Nothing is changed, yet i experience this little issue for a couple of days.

OK, I'm confused. When I do About this Mac > More Info in OS10.9, I don't see any animation other than the window resizing. Is that the animation you are describing?
Which if any of the following apply to your computer:
1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?
6) Did your financial institution ask you to install Trusteer EndPoint Protection (also known as Trusteer Rapport)?

You'll have to read the terms of your warranty for India and see what your availalbe options are.
There are plenty of service providers in India, so that's not a problem.
Your location isn't a problem, what likely happened is your out of warranty period or you purchased the machine through another country and it got registered with a different warranty period. Once Apple discovered your in India, the warranty for that country is applied.
For instance in the EU the warranty period is 2 years by law, so Apple has to honor that. But elsewhere it's 1 year and perhaps that's why you were denied replacement. Not because your from India, that the warranty period for machines in India is one year, like it is for everyone else.
I guess you could fly to the EU and then make a warranty claim from there, but it's already too late, your machine and conversation with Apple was already recorded.
Now if your indirecting asking folks here to service your machine by shipping it to the EU, you better watch yourself around here.

I have a unwrapped copy of Mac OSX Tiger and i don't know what to do with it

Hey everyone,
So i don't have a Macpowerbook and i have a copy of mac osx tiger. It was originally my mom's dad's. How ever he has passed away and my mom's mom wants us to sell the osx tiger. What should i do?

If it is a grey colored disc then it is machine specific and only useful to somebody who has the machine model for which it was made. If it is black then it is a retail install disc.
2 years ago you could have sold a retail disc at a premium price. Now I am not so sure. Tiger is now 4th generation behind Lion, Snow Leopard and Leopard. Apple stopped supporting Tiger years ago and fewer and fewer other software packages are being issued that still run on Tiger. Firefox stopped supporting Tiger, Flash (used on just about every web site out there) is no longer being updated, etc. I think the writing is on the wall. One of my favorite web sites that uses Flash stopped working for me yesterday.
A machine specific disc is really handy for somebody who has that machine and completely useless to anybody who doesn't.
The best thing to do is go on e-bay and see what is actually being paid (not asked) for Tiger, remembering to make sure it matches the copy you have. If you do decide to sell it, make sure you tell the purchaser exactly which model disc it is. We've seen many people on here who bought a disc only to find it wouldn't install on their computer.

Mac OSX Software Update Trouble

I am trying to update my Mac's software. Right now I have Mac OSX 5.2
Everytime i go to update it, it will restart and get stuck at "configuring installation".
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

Hello wclark03,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I would start with this Apple support document related to your issue.

I am trying to move my Elements 9 catalog and files from Windows 7 to Mac OSX Yosemite and can't connect the files on the Mac.

When I try to connect the files to the catalog on the Mac, many (~9000 out of ~12000) files show as can not reconnect. Elements finds "similar" files (actually the files I want) but says they are not the same file. I noticed that many of them have the time parameter different in the file compared to the catalog. If I go ahead and say reconnect anyway, I get another error indicating the the data has been changed by two different sources. If offers the choice of overwriting the file data with info from the catalog (which loses the EXIF data in the file) or says leave the file alone (which loses the keyword metadata from the catalog). Is there any way to get Elements to connect all of these files while retaining all of the EXIF and the keyword metadata without having to re-edit or re-import each of these files? My ultimate aim is to then move all of these photos into the current version of Lightroom on the Mac.

You won't like this response, but there is no way to simply move any Adobe software installation from one system to another. In part, this has to do with the registration/activation infrastructure that Adobe uses. FWIW, Adobe isn't the only software vendor for which you can't simply move software from one system to another via various migration tools.
You must totally uninstall from the first system including product deactivation and then install on the new system and reactivate.
In terms of “fixing” your current system, I would recommend totally uninstalling the software (and deactivating in the process), reboot, and then reinstall from scratch.

I am running Mac OSX Panther and Firefox 2.0.0.8. I want to use Intuit tax on-line and was told to update to Firefox 3.o. Downloaded 3.o(2) but it will not open. Help. Newton

Have tried twice to download 3.o and 3.0(2). When I click on the disk image, the icon bounces once or twice, but nothing happens. I have tried placing the old versions in trash, but this did not help.

Sorry, Firefox 2.0.0.20 was the last ever release for Mac OSX 10.3.9 and earlier versions. You can get it here, but that isn't going to help you for websites that require a Firefox 3.0+ version. You're going to have to use a different browser that's compatible with that web site, or use a newer computer that has a newer operating system to be able to install a newer version of Firefox. <br />
