Any ideas how to reinstall Mac OS X 10.5.8 if it is not responding?
Dear Friends,
Please I need your help, what can I do if my Mac is not responding, when I start up the only thing I can see is an Apple icon.
I have tried to use it`s dvd installer, restart and holding the button C or Option but still it is not responding, it restarts and restarts again.
I have tried everything, Command+option+P+R , but it also does not help. Don`t know what to do.
I shall be looking forward to hearing from you soon.

If you have the original disk, you also have Apple Hardware Test on one of them (it is specified on it), restart, after chime press key C for forcing boot from that CD/DVD. If you cannot boot and cannot boot from any install disk, there should be other problems.
One method is to connect it to another mac using a firewire cable, and restart in target mode. If this works (press T after chime), you may see your mac’s disk mounted as an external drive on the other mac used as reference mac.
If this sound difficult to you, perhaps a tehnician may offer a solution, i.e. whether it is worth repairing it. If only the disk, this is banal and is worth doing it. If others, this depends on the issue.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I've bought several songs from the iTunes stores. Some of the songs automatically download to my laptop, which is set up to receive these songs. Other songs won't download no matter what I try. They should be downloading to my Windows Media Player which is the default player. I'm running Windows 7. If you can help I'd really appreciate it!
If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup. -
When launching Illustrator on Mac OSX 10.9 I get an error that the program is no longer supported on PowerPC. I tried moving the plug-ins to a different folder as the Adobe site suggested but no luck. Any ideas how to get this launched again? Same issue for Photoshop and InDesign
You will need to uninstall, run the Cleaner tool and reinstall you adobe applications. Adobe apps don't take kindly to inplace updates of the OS on Macs.

Any ideas how to fix my mac book pro to canon pixma mp640 printer connection?
Anyone have any ideas how to fix my mac book pro to canon pimxa mp640 printer link? The two are connected manually yet the ! remains on the 'print' page next to the printer name. it was working fine until i changed the ink cartridges. Without the wireless password - which I've never had and don't supposedly need as it's not a wireless connection, I am being prevented from resuming printing.
If it's on a windows network you have to enter your (windows) log in (name/password) credentials.
This should be a 1 time event. It will remember it thereafter. -

Hi, I seem to have forgotten the password for my mac and need to update the software....any ideas how to do this without losing everything on my computer and without the disks?
Stick the 10.5 or 10.6 install disk into the computer and reboot holding c key down, under the Utilities menu is a password reset.
If your on 10.7, hold command r keys and reboot, access Terminal and type
resetpassword
and press enter.

I tied to install OS Mavericks onto my mac and now find there is not enough memory. Any idea how I get back to my original set up. Bit of a novice, so any advice welcome. Thanks.
Not sure what you mean as it shouldn't have installed at all if it didn't meet the system requirements.
But here are some step by step instructions to revert.

I am trying to install the OS Mavericks upgrade on my MAC and it requests for me to enter an administrator password. I do not use an an administrator password on the machine. Any ideas how to resolve this?
If you bought the machine new yourself, and did not enter a password when configuring it, leave the field blank.
If you bought it used, then you need to reset the password, as described here:
