    Hi, Lee. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    From this Apple Knowledge Base article:
    Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed).  Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
    Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
    Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
    Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
    Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.
    Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the disc yet.
    Note: The default keyboard layout is U.S. English while started from the installation disc. If you use a keyboard layout other than U.S English, use the Input menu (the flag icon on the right side of the menu bar) to select the desired layout before typing a new password.
    Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
    Select the user name of your original administrator account.
    Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually the root user. You should not confuse it with a normal administrator account.

  • Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
    You'll find it here :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
    It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
    A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
    TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

    VC6. is rather old, but you can try to convert the VC6 project using the upgrade wizard of VC2012. Depending on the content of the project your code will work more or less without problems, at least it will compile without errors.
    You could also go the 2nd way and create in VC2012 a project type using the wizard that is very similar to your current VC6 projcet (MDI, SDI, Dialog Based, ...). Than you replace the files generated by the wizard with the content of your project. Sometimes
    this way is more successful.
    But at all the automated converting success depends on the code of your VC6 project. I had both, conversions without big problems and also conversions that need a lot changes to run on a current VC version.
    Best regards

  • Soon to be college student, looking for info as to which computer I need.

    Hi! I will be a freshman in the fall. First off I have heard AMAZING things about the MacBook Pro, (and honestly I'm leaning toward it), but I am scared because this is my money we're talking about, and boy am I short on it!
    This computer would need to be fast, reliable, and be able to handle me putting stuff on it. (I'm not a photographer so it wouldn't be thousands of stuff, but probably a couple hundred.)I'm a writer so I'm thinking of getting Windows Microsoft, but even with the student discount, I don't know if I'll be able to afford it. And it'll have to handle whatever college throws at me. Plus I will use it to watch TV on websites that might carry viruses, so it'll have to be good and handle the virus protection I put on it. I want this computer to last me a long time. There is no way I'll be able to afford a new on for a while.
    Lastly, I want to order it immediately, as in as soon as I get enough money.
    Any input is appreciated! There are no wrong answers!

    Wow, that's good advice. I'm hoping to get my computer way before I start school, perhaps within the next few weeks even. And it would be a good idea to save the extra money and get the Dell. But at the same time I've heard that a Mac Book pro could potentially last me up to 7 years or more.
    It does not matter how long the computer lasts you if it won't support your needs. Believe me, you won't be using the computer you buy today in seven years, at least not with the then current capabilities, software, and functionality. Technology changes fast.
    Check with other students who are now taking the same courses you will be taking to see what computer worked best for them. I don't have a dog in the race. As I said I use both a MacbookPro and a PC. Both work well. I don't expect to be using the same ones in a year or two, let alone seven years from now.
    My advice, based on your limited budget, is to get a PC unless there is a course requirement to get a Mac.

  • No Apple Store within 150 miles of me...what happens if I buy a Retina MBP and need the battery changed??

    I have a vintage 2006 17" MBP that has been a steadfast and reliable companion for years. It's aging, and will probably need replacing this year. I'm a wildlife artist and need something that accompanies me into the field, AND allows me to do a lot of image editing (Lightroom) at home and in the studio...so portability, horsepower, and screen size all matter.
    I'm deeply concerned about purchasing a Retina MBP, since there is no Apple Store closer than a 3 hour drive to me - if I need the battery changed, how the **** do I do that? I can't imagine living without a computer during the days it would take to ship something back to Apple galactic HQ for repair, and I also can't imagine how Apple can in good conscience design something so unserviceable. My current MBP went through the bulging-battery thing a year ago, so it's easy to conceive of something happening to a new machine.
    It's probably obvious, but I purchase the most I can afford at one time and then keep it for years before upgrading. I have to say I'm rather depressed about the current choices right now.
    Thoughts?? ...and thank you for reading!

    All MacBook Pro's come with Apple only servicable batteries now.
    However the newer batteries are much better than the older verisons and less likley to fail.
    For instance my 2 year old 17" has a 99% charge with only 14 cycles, but I'm  on power most of the time.
    Problem for you is the life of the charge and not being able to put in a replacement charged battery on extended trips in the bush.
    Also the Internet is required to reinstall the opearating system now, no disks.
    Since there is no Apple laptop that can meet your requirements without dragging a portable gas generator with you...
    I can only suggest you find a suitable PC laptop that can switch the charged batteries on location to keep on using it.
    I highly suggest Windows 7, it's more closer to what your used to using on the Mac far as operating systems UI goes.
    Windows 8 is a nightmare and it's adoption rate is very poor like Vista was.
    Perhaps you may think about getting a wonderful iMac for your office.

  • Delivery Date needs to be changed on Schedule lines

    Hi All-
    I am using BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE, to update the delivery date on the schedule lines...If I have 2 lines of schedule, needs to be updated the second one ETENR '0002'...
    Bapi returns message that successfully processed, when I go back and look at Sales order, I don't se any changes on schedule line..
    I am pssing into BAPI, sales doc and schedule line with the delivery date and the flag 'U'..and also I am using BAPI commit...
    But, let me know if I am missing something and also let me know is it possible to change schedule delivery date or not?
    Thanks,
    Sony

    Hi
    Please follow this process.
    Only specify fields that should be changed
    Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
    Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
    Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
    The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
    Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data.
    1. Minimum entry:
    You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
    You must always enter key fields for changes.
    You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
    2. Commit control:
    The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
