Cannot reset password from the OS DVD?

after restart using the system DVD while pressing 'C' I annot find the "reset password' under utilities. What am I doing wrong?

Hi--
I think the problem is this. Your MacBook is Intel
based. The Tiger DVD install disk you said you used
for your G4 is for a PowerPC.
Carolyn is correct. You'd need the discs that came with your MacBook in order to start up your MacBook. The operating system on the Tiger DVD is only for the PowerPC. There are currently no "generic" retail Tiger installers for Intel Macs, because all the currently shipping Intel Macs came with Tiger, and there's no reason for the retail Tiger discs to have the Intel code..
You should try calling Apple and see if they'll let you order replacement installer discs for your MacBook.

Cannot start up from the install DVD

I have a Macbook and I need to run the disk utility and repair the start up disk. I insert the Tiger install DVD, hold down the c key as I restart, but it always starts up from the start up disk, not the DVD.
What gives?
OK some more info. I got the Macbook used and it did not come with the install disk. But I have a DVD of Tiger I bought to run on my old G4 which I am using to start up on the Macbook.
Macbook version is 10.4.8, DVD version is 10.4.6.

Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Please help!

Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Also when I try to sink my mini with my iTunes account it says you cannot sync because the sync session failed to start.

It sounds like to me you're trying to sync using the computer.
Try these things and see if it helps before you try your next syncing session. If none of the things below work then you might consider trying to sync using iCloud only.
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

TS3274 Cannot download apps from the apps store. iOS 7.0.4.

I recently upgraded to version iOS 7.0.4. For my ipad 4. Now I cannot download apps from the apps store. Any suggestions?

The ipad is brand new. It downloaded the apps fine until I updated to the ios 7.0.4. two days ago. When I choose an app from the app store, I can select it and it appears to begin to download (it spins in circles). It does not prompt me for my Apple password. However, it generates a blank, undownloaded app on the ipad. It says waiting underneath the app. I hope that explains it better.
I also reset the ipad and it prompted me to either cancel or purchase several items. I have small children and it appears they were trying to buy upgrades and boosts for games alreadly on the ipad. I have tried to download another game and this time it has prompt me for my password. The app has come onto the screen and it is stuck in the waiting phase of the download.

Starting from the install dvd

I am would like to reset the admin and the password. Help says to start from the install dvd. I put it in held the c key untill the gray apple came on. The drive starts like it is going to start, then stops and the zero with the slash comes on and all stops. This an IMac G5 running 10.4.10, using the 10.4 dvd.
Thanks

Make sure the Install DVD is the one that *originally came w/your computer*, not scratched, dirty or smudged.
The Install DVD does take awhile to complete. Just keep holding down the "c" key until it takes.

I bought a used computer and I am currently upgrading to Mavericks. How can I erase the current password from the seller?

I just bought a used computer and i am currently updating this computer to Mavericks upgrade for free. How can I wipe it clean, and also how can I reset the password from the sellers password?

You really have to start with the MBP as it came out of the box. Read these directions;

You then will have to create your own password and account.

If you buy an iLife '11 install DVD (eBay, Amazon) you could upgrade your iPhoto right away. The earlier iPhoto '11 versions are compatible with MacOS X 10.6.8.
but I can't until I upgrade from OS X 10.6.8. Trying to figure out how to do that...
To upgrade to Mt. Lion see here: You can buy it and download it from the appStore, if your mac is compatible:

so please if anyone got any idea of how to get the hint on the mail ( i used to remember there is a hint )

If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

I cannot turn on automatically download in my settings. I cannot download anything from the app store...once I sign in it says downloading but them goes back like I never signed in

I cannot turn on automatically download in my settings. I cannot download anything from the app store...once I sign in it says downloading but them goes back like I never signed in what do I do ?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities,
I had a similar issue and it was an easy fix for me. First you need to log out of your account completely in the Mac App Store. Quit the application. Re-open the Mac App Store. Click log-in, enter your Apple-ID and password. Now when the screen pops-up that has all of your billing/credit card information on it DO NOT select done. Instead select View my Account, then select View hidden purchases. There you should be able to find iPhoto. Hope this helps if not let me know. I'm still searching solutions for you.

Enable deactivated productiove password from the backend

Hi Experts,
Does any one know how to enable deactivated productive password from the back end. The scenario is administrator him self not logged in continuously for 90 days and the login/max_idle_productive is set to 90 days and login/password_expiration_time set to 60days and the productive password got deactivated.
We can do this by deleting sap* and relogin sap* and reset the password. But I want to know how to do from the backend.
I tried this.
updated schemaname.usr02
set pwdstate=0 where bname='XXXX' and mandt='000';
commit,
But this didn't work. I know the id is not locked. Thatswhy I didn't set uflag to 0.
Appreciate if anyone could help on this?
Thank you
Venkat

Sorry, but this is a wrong assumption.
Only password-based authentication is effected by passwords and their status (locked, expired, ...).
In any case you experience problems to logon to an ABAP server, kindly use the tracing approach described in [SAP Note 495911 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/495911]to analyse the cause.
By the way: the trigger for this feature (to specify after which time of not using a password it shall no longer be usable for authentication) is an Italian law. So, it's mandatory for Italian customers but optional for all others to make use of that feature.
