Can I erase and install and get back 10.4.10 and QT 7.2 ?
Hello,
iMac PowerPC G5 2Ghz 1 GB
OS X 10.4.10
Quicktime Player 7.2
My Os X install disc says "10.4". I installed a while ago and upgrade to 10.4.10.
Can I "erase and install" and then upgrade again but only to 10.4.10 ? I want to also upgrade Quicktime only to 7.2
Is this possible ? Beside backing up my files, what should I be careful about?
Thanks.
With a lot of work finding the correct downloads, don't see any reason why not. With backups you should be able to do an erase and install from CD, then find the combo update to 10.4.10. Saw a link somewhere for it, maybe someone will post it. Or maybe you saved it from the last time, I do that for everything. Then check you version of QT.

I stopped with 10.4.9

I mistakenly moved my apple keyboard layout bundle to the trash can and now I am unable to log onto my computer. I can't type anything so I can't access my account to get back onto my computer.
restart and hold Command+r to enter in recovery mode and ill allow you to repair your OS X installation. If you cannot repair it, then just create a new user, as usually issues with keyboards are rooted in the user's account.
Good luck -
My computer crashed and I downloaded Itunes on a new computer and I'm trying to download new music to my ipod and a message comes up thatsays 'my ipod is synced with another Itunes library' {obviously my dead computer} and I can either 'Erase and Sync or Transfer Itunes purchases'. Is there ANY way possible I don't have to erase my music and can download some new stuff? Please help. Thanks- so frustrated.
Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

SatelliteA350D-BA3.Not sure if right forum.Hidden partition.Can I erase and re-merge?IDEandAHCI?
Hi. I am fairly new. Not sure if this is the right forum for this question. I plan to re-install the OS on my laptop and fix some hidden partitions on my hard-drive. I have soem questions and some questions about using the eSATA feature on the drive, or eSATA with the expantion cards.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ 2Ghz, 3Gb RAM, Vista Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 2, ATI 3100. Toshiba Satellite A350D - BA3, AMD QL-62 processor
1. I have a Toshiba Satellite A350D - BA3. There was 1 hidden partition, and 1 that had the back-up and was erased with a previous install. Can I erase and re-merge the hidden partition? How can I see what is on the hidden partition? It is small. From the research I did, it is probably system files only. I made a dvd-rom back-up already, and have used it once. In XP this is how I looked at other ones, I have Vista on the laptop and it is pretty much the same. I looked in control panel - administrative tools - computer management - disk management. I can delete and merge partitions then re-partition: I would need to hook the HDD in the laptop to an external enclosure, then use these features in XP or another OS. Or is there another way?
- I want the whole HDD for the laptop formatted as one drive. But I don't want to render my laptop useless.
2. With this laptop does the BIOS need to be confugured as AHCI so the eSATA port and eSATA features can be accessed? On my desktop and this particular motherboard, that is the case. I have IDE on my desktop and it cannot access certain eSATA features without AHCI or RAID configuration. An Asus M3N78-VM if your curious. This is a new idea I have come across, and havn't even used the eSATA port on my laptop yet. I want to be able to use it. What about AHCI drivers? With the motherboard for my desktop I need a floppy drive to install them. Are they included with Vista? I have been told and read that Vista does/does not include these drivers. I assume that the eSATA port will work on the laptop automatically, and I don't need to worry about this.
3. Anyone know why this laptop does not show up when I search the Toshiba site? I cannot find this model number.
4. Anyone know how easy/safe the bios flash is for this model? I found the last one I believe they made for it, but I had a failed one and did not want to do that to my laptop since that is a waste of money. I don't like windows bios updates.
Any help is appriciated.
Thank you.So this will completely overwrite any of the steps in this process?
sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
If you get any error messages at this point, report the error messages, don't proceed further.
You're now in gdisk interactive mode. Menus/commands are single characters followed by return/enter. So type ? and <enter> and you'll get the main menu listing commands. Type p <enter> and it will print (display) the current GPT. Since you have 5 GPT entries, you can't use a 1 for 1 GPT to MBR scheme like Apple does. The following suggestion is safe, but all hybrid MBRs are non-standard inventions, and therefore I can't tell you how Boot Camp Assistant or Disk Utility will react to this hybrid MBR should you decide to make changes later. What I can tell you is Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X themselves have no problem with this MBR scheme.
r <enter> go to the recovery & transformation menu
h <enter> create a new hybrid MBR
5 <enter> add partion 5 to the MBR
<enter> accept the default MBR hex code of 07
y <enter> set the bootable flag
n <enter> do not protect more partitions
o < enter> print (display) the MBR
You should have two entries. One type EE, one 07, with the 07 entry marked with * under Boot. If you don't, report back. If you do, write out the update partition information, and hope a power failure doesn't occur for the next few seconds...
w <enter> write partition table to disk
reboot. hold down option - you should be able to boot into either Mac HD, Recovery HD, or Windows.
I just tested this same five partition GPT and 2 partition MBR on a working system and the instructions above worked.
Note, so long as CSM-BIOS and thus MBR are required for Boot Camp instead of EFI booting Windows, we're stuck with flaky MBR problems, as well as the 2TB disk limitation for Windows boot disks.
If so, problem solved, thanks! -

All you need to do is go to the iTunes store, and then go to purchased in the right side of iTunes store. It is under the quick links. Then you will be able to download the past purchases there.

today i made the mistake of downloading the update for itunes, 12 26 12, not realizing i would lose the choice to also burn my purchased music to a cd as well as the nano. can anyone tell me how to get back my previous version so I may continue to make my cds that I play in my vehicle. are there steps I can take to be able to transfer the purchased music to another exterior drive where I can then burn it to a cd, besides the nano? as my name indicates I am just getting too old to keep up with all these changes..

Can't erase and install SNow Leopard on old MacBook Pro
I am trying to erase and install Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro3,1. I boot up with the installation disc, get to pick a language but then a window pops up that says "Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer" and gives me the options to Restore from Backup or Restart.
I had upgraded to a 500GB hard drive on this machine which I used for months, but it is currently running off the hard drive of a new MacBook Pro that got fried. The installation disk I am using is the one I got with that unfortunate machine. Could this be the problem?
Any other suggestions?
Other info: Mac OS X 10.6.1 (108504)
Other History: The machine I am trying to erase and install on recently had its logic board replaced under warranty because of the NVIDIA graphics card issue. I have not found the service centre in South Africa to be very trustworthy, in fact the first time they claimed to have replaced the logic board, the computer (which had been intermittently failing to boot up) immediately started displaying the same problems. Another mac shop said to me that the "new" logic board looked so dusty that it seemed extremely unlikely that it had been replaced a week prior. Anyway, it has ostensibly been replaced again, along with a faulty superdrive.
When it went back to the service centre, they put in the hard drive of another, new, MacBook Pro of mine that got fried in an unrelated incident
Please help! I want to give this machine to an employee but
a) want to make sure it's stable and functioning properly, and
b) want to give it a clean slate with my personal data and settings erased.You need a retail Snow Leopard installation disk. Available for $29 USD. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MACOS_XSNGL
Once you install it onto the old machine, you can use the setup assistant to migrate your stuff and apps from the other machine. -
my mozilla updated without acknowledging me first. I open it and I come to find out I can not move the tabs over to the right or the left one spot or two spots they just won't move unless I close them. I use to be able to move there anywhere i wanted or pull down and it became it's own window. Now I have to right click to make it a new window and then I can't drag and drop other tabs into it to make a window with several tabs. How do I get this back to the way it was before?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

how can i contact itunes to get back my previous products i have purchased. I have emailed them several times but they won 't return my emails.
iTunes support is online only. E-mail them again. Realize they may not necessarily respond immediately.
Of course if you had your purchases backed up on a hard drive you wouldn't need to contact them at all and they could be back on your computer in a matter of minutes. -

Stuck on grey Apple screen, how can I erase and restore back to original?
I've been trying to restore my imac G4 flat panel back to its factory settings, as I have recently backed up my necessary files on an external hard drive. It came with Panther and I upgraded to Tiger, but now I don't have any of the disks. I don't care if it restores back to Panther, I just want to erase and restore it. I tried to download and mount the restore disc and do it from there, but now its stuck on the grey apple screen. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Jared, and a warm welcome to the forums!

I often can't erase and must start whatever I'm doing over again in another window.
I've talked to Apple and we reinstalled Firefox. It worked for about a minute (until I'd hung up) and went back to the same problem. Often (as in this email, possibly) I can't erase if I make a mistake. Actually, I just was able to. But in the google bar or in an email it often happens.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

How can I erase and install the most recent Mac OS X?
I have bought a new iMac and want to give my old iMac to a friend.
Before I give it to them, I want to erase to old iMac HD and re-install Mac OS. However, it defaults back to the Maverick OS. My slow internet means it will take hours to download and then I would have to run upgrades in the AppStore and take more hours to download Yosemite and then more cycles of incremental upgrades... :-/
How do I get my old iMac to simply install a fresh version of the latest Mac OS?
I have saved a copy of the install file of Yosemite when I updated my new iMac because of my slow internet connection but I don't know if it truly gives a full fresh installation of everything, so I didn't try it.
Cheers,
NeilClick here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C or Option key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.
You can't sell it while it has an OS more recent than the newer of the computer's original one or 10.6.8 installed on it.
