Can I Wipe a new machine that came with Leopard and install Tiger
I like Leopard at home but at work on our network Leopard does not play well. I have a dual 3.2 Quad Core. Can I do a format and start with a fresh install of Tiger?
My question was answered. I can not wipe my machine clean and go back to Tiger until my IT department decides to embrace the fact that the graphics departments within our company use MAC's and always will. All was well with Tiger and our network or at least we had worked through all of the issues we had and then me and the guy I work with got new machines with Leopard on them. We have one guy in IT that claims to be the go to MAC guy but sometimes I wonder, seems my partner and I know more about MAC's than the IT department but our suggestions when we give them do not seem to be welcome. Thanks for the answers.

How do I access my hotmail account in the new Mail that came with leopard?
I just got leopard, but it won't find hotmail with any of the servers... how do I get it to work?
One option available is to covert your HotMail account to HotMail Plus, a fee based service that now supports POP3 protocols, which you can access from virtually any mail client. The POP3 option only very recently became available to HotMail users, and is only available to those with HotMail Plus accounts. Setup in Mail would used these values:
• pop3.live.com inbound server identifier
• smtp.live.com outbound server identifier
SMPT authentication is required. -

I replaced my hard drive and lost iPhoto. Is there a way to retrieve? I can not find the starter discs that came with my Macbook Pro.
Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. You can purchase replacement discs from Apple.
Or, you can upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -

Can anyone please help me. I have had my ipad2 for about 5 months and it has worked fine. I am now having issues charging it. I am using the cords that came with it and the outlet that I have used to charge it in the past, but when plugged in it is recconoigzed, but states not charging. I have made sure all my updates are current and they are. Does anyone have any suggestions or helful advice that my help. Thanks in advance.
Are you plugging it into a pc? If so it will not charge the iPad as there is not enough power try the back USB ports, may work.
If it isn't plugged into a pc and plugged into your socket could be faulty socket adapter. -
Having recently updated Firefox, there now seems to be a long delay before many webpages load. Is there any way to easily revert to the previous arrangement, for example by removing new features that came with the upgrade that I probably don't use?

Can Not Find Apple Loops files that came with Logic 7
I recently reinstalled my system and upgraded to leopard but am still running Logic 7.
My problem is that all of the apple loops that came with the application are no longer accessable for some reason.
I can view all of the loops in the loop browser, but any time I click on one to preview, it comes up with this error message: "Club Dance Beat 038.caf" - what kind of file is this?" It seems like all of the files are .caf.
When I search my system to try and find the loops, I cant find any loops that seem to go with logic. There are apple loops for garage band and soundtrack pro but not logic.
Can anyone help me in accessing my apple loops for logic? Shouldnt these things just come with the application when I install it? That does not seem to be the case here for whatever reason.
thanks much

Your "problem" is that you now own the Garageband Loops, which are in the new .caf format.
Your version of Logic cannot open these files.
These .caf files were introduced with Logic 8. You would do good to upgrade Logic, if you really need to use those files.

Apple OS 10.5.8 on new macs that came with Snow Leopard!
I want all who read this to know that I am and have been using OS 10.5.8 on my Imac 21.5" core 2 duo that came with 10.6 Snow Leopard. Everyone at Apple said it could not work but that is wrong. I am running OS 10.5.8 in a Bootcamp partitian with great success. I do have the original OS 10.64 as the main OS but usually run os the Boocamp partitian so I can run Logic Studio 8. This OS will not recognize the internal Airport and lacks some features that I did not have before anyway. I connect DSL through Ethernet hardwire, which is faster anyway.

I will probably try installing it on a back-up drive firts. That is one of the recommended steps to get freehand to work with snow anyways. The goods news is we have Macbook pro we purchased in march and a imac G5 that I sent the logic board out to get repaired. I really need to get the G5 running because that is where a lot of the data is we need. Mailboxes, address books etc.
Have you tried using the G5 as a target disk via firewire?
Why do upgrades always have to be so painful and exciting at the same time.
I dunno, it is part of the fun though. It is especially painful right now where the OS is evolving and older software and peripherals are being transitioned out. -
Computer locks up, so I want to reinstall the OS. I had upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Tried to do an archive and install from the DVD that came with the computer, but that failed.
Tried to do an erase and install, but the install stops somewhere near the end, 13 minutes to go. Tried several times, same result.
Can't reboot from the install disk, it just ejects the disk and I get the flashing question mark.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.I think my hard drive is toast. When I boot in single user mode, I get the following text:
CSRHID Transition Driver: start booting in single user... will wait for window server
Then the following text appears, repeating itself over and over, except that the numbers (indicated by "xxxxxxx")
SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02, ASCQ = 0x00
SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02, ASCQ = 0x00

These messages keep repeating with the numbers (xxxxxxxxx) changing with each iteration.
Does this indicate a bad hard drive?

How can I know if the software that came with my mac is valid or pirated?
I recently purchased a MBP that came with numerous amount of really expensive software like Adobe Masterclass Collection,Logic 9, Key Note, Pages, Numbers, Final Cut Pro and many more. How can I find out if this software collection that came on the mac are valid or pirated. Is there a app that can scan my mac for serials or to verify the apps? If infact they are legit purchased, how can I put them on my other mac? or is it even possible. For example, Final Cut Pro and logic are from Apple. Could they Verify them?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Unfortunately, there's not a way to check if they are original or pirated. Also, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, Final Cut Pro (if it's Final Cut Pro X) and Logic Pro, if they were purchased in the App Store, don't need a product key. My advice is to delete all those applications, and purchase again the applications you need with your Apple ID in the App Store, if they are available there.
That's because you will have problems to update them (as they are registered to the old owner's Apple ID) and you can't use them legally if you haven't purchased the applications -
Based in HK--a very intl city. Travel constantly thoughout Asia and N Amer for biz. Bought MA, at new HK Apple store, that came with lg HK- 3-prong plug on thick extension cord that's useless. Asked store for a US 2-prong cord as much easier and universal to travel with and easy to use adopters. Not available thru Apple in HK; avail in US for addl US$79+tax if I am there t pick it up or with shipping (!!) we are talking a $100 addl cord expense on top of the $1,700 cost of the MA. Apple: get to understand the needs of your customers: they are increasingly global. (BTW: an adapter kit that needs to be used 100% of time is NOT the answer as it just creates a Mickey-Mouse solution.)
You are not talking to Apple. Apple does not read or respond to any posts here. We are just users like yourself. Here is where you should direct your comments: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

I got a new iPod Touch today. I wanted to transfer all my apps and data over to the new iPod from my old one, so I restored it from my old one. Unfortunately, it seems to have erased the new apps that come with the latest iPod. What do I do to get the back?
Maybe I'm confusing apps with function. I was looking at the features on Apple's site, and it showed Voice Control, Air Print, Air Play, that sort of thing.

My MacBook Pro originally came with Leopard. I have the OS and Applications disks for Leopard but I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard. I would like to perform a clean install of Lion on the new hard drive and restore some data from my Time Machine backup. I am not looking to restore the current image to my new hard drive. I have not yet removed the exisiting hard drive nor have I wiped my data.
The only way to do that is to buy a New SL Retail DVD. Or you could buy the Lion Install USB thumb drive from Apple for $69.
You must have SL installed to then install Lion or have a thumb drive with the Lion installer.
You could also create a Lion USB Recovery thumb drive using Lion Disk Assistant. But you need to have Lion already installed and the Lion RecoveryHD Partition on your drive to make the Recovery thumb drive.

My MiFi jetpack 6620 doesn't charge. I've plugged it into the charger that comes with it, and only that charger. But nothing happens. The battery keeps getting drained. I first attempted when it was at 16%. After being on the charger a few hours, it dropped to 15%, then 14%. I'm currently at 12%. I've tried different outlets at different locations. And I've tested the charger cable on my phone and it charges that just fine. Which is more likely: the battery is defective or there is a problem with the jetpack itself? and the real kicker is that I've only had it for a week.
Happy Friday cjyoyomasta! I wanted to reach out to you to see if you received the assistance that you need with your jetpack. May I ask have you took the device to the store for assistance? If so, what was the results? If you can provie us with a status update then we can assist, if still needed.
Thank you…
