after installing osx 10.8.2 to my mac mini it will not recognize my admin account. how do i uninstall

If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

How can I install OSX lion on my completely wiped mac mini?

I have a 2011 mac mini server edition (Without CD drive), and tried to partition it to a RAID0 last night. I reformatted both drives (Just the inner partitions, so It shouldn't have affected the recovery partition), and now it will not boot.
When I turn the computer on, it flashes a question mark folder, and when I boot with option, it gives me a list of wireless networks on a grey screen. When I select my network, it logs into it, but doesn't do anything further. It will not let me boot into the recovery partition at all.
How can I re-install lion on this computer? I do have a firewire cable, so I could do target disc mode if that's even possible.
Thanks!

That just isn't practical for me, to be booting off an external.
Would a flash drive work, or something to that effect?
nope, you need a external drive 1TB in size to hold all the data from the 2-500GB's and double as a backup when the RAID 0 fails which they are twice as likely to do.
you can only install OS X on a Mac, so once it's there you clone it to the 1TB, option boot from it, create the RAID and reverse clone.
no Lion Recovery, that's why you need another way to get Lion back, that's why you got to make the Lion Recovery USB first before doing anything.

After installing Cooliris and moving icon from Tab Mix Plus Cooliris will not "launch" ; how can I rectify this problem?

On another computer was causing FF to run sporadic , I believe. I have now installed on a Mac but icon is in b&w and will not launch when clicked.

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

Mac mini G4 will not reboot after Onyx upgrade

DURING UPGRADE OF ONYX INSTRUCTED TO RUN REPAIR DISK FROM MAC OSX INSTALL DISK. SYSTEM WILL NOT REBOOT. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Have you booted from the OSX install disc yet?
With the power on, insert this disc, then force the computer to turn off by holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds.
Then restart the computer. As soon as you hear the startup chime, hold down the C key -- and keep holding it until you see the "gear" spinning on the screen.
You need a wired keyboard to do this. If you don't have one, borrow a usb PC keyboard.
Once you boot from the install disc, don't install! But instead run DiskUtility from the Utility menu at the top of the screen.
BTW if DiskUtility can't repair the hard drive, you might have better luck with DiskWarrior -- though it will cost about $100 to find out.

Upgraded to OSX 10.6.3 and iTunes 10.6.1 will not recognize iPads

I recently upgraded to 10.6.3 and after completing the set up iTunes no longer recognizes either iPad devices. One iPad runs 5.1 and the other runs 4.3.3. However, my older iPods are recognized. Does anyone have experience with this situation and a solution? My intent is to further upgrade the OSX to Lion. Should I upgrade now and see if the issue is resolved or work the issue in the current OSX and then upgrade again after?
Thank you.

I completed the upgrade to 10.6.8 and still cannot seem to get iTunes to 1) Open when any device is plugged in 2) Recognize the 2 iPads or iPod Touch. I will recognize an older iPod Nano and a newer Nano.
When iPad 5.1 is plugged in PhotoShop opens. Any suggestions?

I installed Office 2011 on my new I-mac. Excell will not open???

I installed Office 2011 on my new Mac, Why will Excel not open?

First restart the Mac, then try to start Excel again, if it fails go to Mactopia Downloads for Office 2011, download all updates for Office 2011, (there are 3) apply the in order (14.02 is first, 14.13 last) follow the instructions, you may have to restart your computer more than once.
Oh, and if it does start when you try it is still important to do the updates.

I have a mac mini which will not wake from sleep mode since installing yosemite.

The cursor moves when using a track pad and magic mouse, but I can't click on anything. Also computer always starts in safe mode now.
Am I the only one having this problem. I have sent the error messages to Apple, but have not seen any updates that might address this issue.
I now have to turn off the sleep function which don't seem right to me. Any advice would be appreciated.

HT1430 iPad suddenly will not recognize my gmail account but 2 other devices do . It keeps telling me I have wrong password. I know it is correct. It quit working after an iOS upday

My iPad suddenly quit recognizing my gmail account. When I enter password I get message that it not correct. I tested password on two other devices and it correct. It also did same thing on wife's account but then corrected that today I don't know how. How can I get around this. It has worked for 3 years. Local Apple guy says it has to be Google but my mail works on a Kindle, Acer computer and Samsung phone so it must be an Apple issue. What can I do?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Newly installed CS2 will not recognize raw images

I have installed my Photoshop CS2 on my new computer. It will not recognize my raw images. I get a message that says "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it again but I am still getting the same message. I have also registered it with my serial number, but every time I get into the program I get a prompt telling me I need to register.

BIOS will not recognize installed CD/DVDs

System set up auto search does not recognize installed CD players or DVD RW on IDE 2 as being present. I have installed several different units that I know are working and set up passes by them like they are not present. I have checked and replaced all cables. CD unit are getting power and will light up, open and close but they do not show up during set up nor on Windows hardware listing. I have reset CMOS with no success.
I have the most current version of BIOS for this M/B. This problem started recently when I tried to change my CD player.
1.   Product Type: 645 Ultra (m-6547 V1.X) ATX Mainboard
2.   BIOS Version. 3.31
3.   External VGA Type: None
4.   CPU Type: P4 2.40 GHz
5.   Memory Type: 1.00 GB
6.   Power Supply Type: A Power 400 watts
7.   Operating System: Windows XP Pro with SP2

I connected a second hard drive on IDE 2 and the BIOS failed to recognize it. I also connectted a CD to IDE 1 along with my primary hard drive and the BIOS DID recognize both my hard drive and the CD but the system would not boot up under that configuration. I have uninstalled and re-installed the controller for IDE 2 and the system still will NOT recognize anything connected to the IDE 2. The only other thing I can think of is to reinstall the BIOS. Anybody have any other suggestions on how to deal with a non-functioning IDE 2?

I can't update iPhoto after installing OSX 10.9.2, it has the name otto@**** in the apple ID box and will not let me change it. Any thoughts?

Hello people,

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

I have the same problem. After installing OSX 10.9.3. my Macbook freezes more than 7 times. The problem came up after switching via Thunderbold to a second screen or after "waking" the macbook up. The last time osx didn't boot anymore. It freezes after the "Apple Logo" came up. (grey screen).
After booting the system with "cmd+V" OSX started again. Now I'm afraid to shut down the system and the macbook runs all day.
I hope someone can help me, here my perticulars:
