Can Anyone Advise How to Uninstall OS X 10.1
I installed OS X 10.1 on a partitioned drive which also has OS 9.2. My problem is I have used up most of the disc space on the 40GB drive. Is it possible to uninstall OSX 10.1 and free up the disc space?
Thanks.
Hi Swoodtmk,
The folder Applications belongs to OS X. There's nothing in there that will run under OS 9, so you can trash the entire folder. Applications (OS 9) means just what it says. Those are your OS 9 applications installed by the OS 9 installation disk. Keep the entire folder.
The file automount is not in applications but it is in the hard drive, should I remove it?
Ah. The new forum software kind of goofed up how the tip I linked to looks. The asterisk in front of "Applications" doesn't mean that everything below it is a subfolder. Those are all folders you should see at the root level when you open the hard drive by double clicking its icon when booted directly into OS 9.
The only asterisk that should be in the tip is the one for "Users (* see note below)". So if you've ever saved any files you created in OS X to the default location, they'll be in the Documents folder of your OS X user account. So you'll want to move them somewhere else first. Otherwise, you can just delete the entire "Users" folder.
And just to reiterate since it's very important, you can delete the entire System folder. That's OS X. But DO NOT delete the System Folder. Those are your OS 9 system files.

Hi,
If you have made a backup at any time of your iPod in iTunes, it should be in Preferences, under Devices tab.
In iTunes
Open iTunes Preferences.
From the Preferences window click on the Devices.
Once you are there you should see a list under "Device Backups:".
Hover your mouse pointer to the device and in a little while it should display the serial number of the device (with an iPhone it will also display a phone number used with it and the IMEI code and with an iPad it will display the IMEI in addition to the serial number).

Wanting to connect an older G4 Powerbook running OS 10.4.11 to a Marantz SR4023 receiver amplifier with only RCA inputs to play iTunes through it on stereo speakers. Can anyone advise how to do this? Not tech savvy at all here, and will be happy with a simple hard wired connection. The Powerbook is old, and I no longer want to use it for anything but connecting iTunes radio, and my iTunes library to my stereo system.
Hi,
There were many PowerBook G4 models (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3065) with different ports (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2369).
If necessary, a manual can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#PowerBook%20G4
Generally speaking, the output of a headphone port can often be used for the connection to an amplifier. You would need an appropriate cable (typically, 3.5 mm stereo plug to two RCA plugs). Choose a suitable amplifier input (high level). Do verify the allowed amplifier input voltage levels and the impedance before you connect.

I've forgotten my administrator password and can't download software. can anyone advise how to reset a new password without having the original?
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
command line:
/sbin/fsck -yf
If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
mount -uw /
cd /private/var/db/netinfo
mv local.nidb local.old
rm ../.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed. -
My daughter has an iphone 5s and I have her old 3GS. She receives all my imessages that I rcv or send to other people. Can anyone advise how to stop this? we have removed the 3gs from her itunes account but it hasn't stopped the issue.
There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon. -

What graphics card is installed?
Have you looked inside to see if the interior is dusty?
Is the graphics card dusty?
If equipped, is the fan on the graphics card turning?
Leopard uses the graphics card harder than Tiger, so weakness in the graphics card is more easily shown. -
I had been using iMessage all along with my friend who is using an iPhone 6. I choose to send a sms to him as I do not have any connection, after that there is no way I can send him an iMessage again. Can anyone advise how do I switch back? I had tried resetting the network setting, toggling off the sms but to no avail.
Thank you.
RegardsWhat do you mean you choose to send him an SMS because you don't have any connection. What kind of connection? Delete the thread with that individual that you sent via SMS, and as long as you have iMessage activated on your device and your friend has an active data connection, it should recognize that and send as an iMessage. Another scenario is to have the friend send you a message that you can respond to.

Just updated to version 4.35 via itunes. My icons are now massive making it almost impossible to do anything, even open up. Can anyone advise me how I can revert to normal font/icon size.
Try to double tap with three fingers on the screen to get back to normal size.
Zoom in or out: Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
