Does anybody remember the demos that came with the Mac OS 7, '95-'96ish? I remember spin doctor, amazon trail, dino tycoon and others being on it. Does anybody remember some colored balls which you could move around on a black background with music?
This music also sometimes sounded erotic (weird, I know). You could attach multiple balls together and they moved like a worm. I also remember, on this same demo a weird, quirky shop where you could buy weird looking pets. If anybody can tell me the names of the games or even better, the demo disk, you would make two sisters trying to remember their youth very, very happy.
System 7 came with some very classic, fun, interesting games.
The game that you are thinking of was called "Firefall." The game was made by Pangea Software.
Below is a youtube link to see the game in action / listen to the music:

Hello ut2729,
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, this can be achieved using the Recovery HD.
OS X Mountain Lion: Erase and reinstall OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11273
You can erase your Mac and then reinstall OS X using the built-in recovery disk. Before you erase and reinstall, back up your essential files. If you’re installing on a portable computer, make sure your power adapter is connected and plugged in.
Important: To reinstall OS X, you need to be connected to the Internet.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
Select Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
Select your startup disk from the list on the left, and then click the Erase tab.
From the Format pop-up menu, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
Select Reinstall OS X, click Continue, and then follow the instructions.For more information about reinstalling OS X, see this help topic:Reinstall OS X
You can also create an external recovery disk. For more information, see this Apple Support article:

It still charges in the wall, but when it comes to putting songs or pictures on my iPod, it won't connect to iTunes or charge while plugged into my computer.
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. iOS 7 made the iPod/computer more sensiteve to cable problems
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Reinstall HP Software that came on the machine
I couldn't get a Windows update to apply and Microsoft support couldn't either. They reset my machine and now I must reinstall everything. I would like to reinstall the applications that came on the machine provided by HP. Where can I download the software applications?
If you don't have a recovery cd (and many don't these days), let's hope you made a recovery drive after you first got the PC. If you didn't contact HP Support. I learned my lesson the hard way. I bought a bought a non-HP laptop that didn't come with a recovery cd, and I ended up reimaging it. Since I hadn't made a recovery disk I ended up shipping it back to them. Took 51 days for me to get it back from Taiwan, and it'll be the last time I buy a product from them even though they are a big name in motherboards.

I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network. Does anyone know where to find this? It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.
It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
The network password will appear in the box.
Quit Keychain Access. -

Is there a way to remove your sim card if you don't have the tool that came with your phone?
Is there a way to remove your sim card if you don't have the tool that came with your phone? I wanted to see if I could upload my old information to the iCloud, by putting the new sim card into the old phone, since I didn't before I updated my new phone.
Any metal clip will do. Insert the tip in the little hole next to the Sim Card and press FIRMLY. The SIM drawer will pop out.

The mouse that came with my imac does not work very well in a window virtual machine
I finally got Windows 7 on my iMac and am using FusionVM. I installed one of my favorite games and the mouse goes soooooo slow I cannot use the game. Any suggestions? I am using the mouse that came with the iMac, magic mouse(??).
I have already tried that. The mouse speed on the iMac is good. The mouse speed in other Windows7 programs is good. The problem arose when I tried to play Zuma's Revenge using Windows7. This is the first game I have loaded since setting up the virtual machine.

Can't Use Any Other Skins - Only the Ones That Came with DW
Hello Everyone,
I am a little frustrated, as I would think some of you may be.
I love Dreamweaver, but here's the problem I'm dealing with right now:
I am inserting videos in some webpages, and DW does a good and quick job of it right out of the box... if you use the Supplied Skins.
I have made some custom skins and it would be fantastic if DW would let me use them.
I put them in the folder with the included skins, and I can choose them from the skin selector dialog box, But they don't work in Live View, or when loaded into a browser.
It's not just my custom skins either, I tried using the skins that came with Flash CS4, both AS2 & AS3 with the same results.
Any Ideas??
Thank you in advance, your support is much appreciated!Hello PZ,
Thanks for the reply and link!
I've seen this tutorial before and tried it, but I had some problems, which I think is a missprint in the tutorial itself... maybe you can help clarify.
The tutorial gives two code blocks, a before and an after.
Problem:
The after codeblock seems to be missing an opening tag, and I don't know how to fix it.
Before:

It appears that a tag is missing, right?
How would you fix this?
Also, when I just try and fix the paths to see the skin that I want to use, that doesn't work either

Troubleshooting after reinstalling the software that came with my macbook
Hi, I'm a new user of mac products and my macbook crashed refusing to start up (it would just turn on and keep loading till froze).
I followed exactly the steps "Problem meet solution" in the little manual and had to use the Mac OS X Install Disk 1.
The disk utility repaired the HD volume (error found: incorrect block count for file flatfile.db - should have been 708 instead of 354), then still couldn't start up on HD. Did it all over again, repaired HD again (this time error: incorrect block count for file .store.db - should have been 5202 instead of 2601), but this time went further selecting "continue" and reinstalling Mac OS X from the discs that came with my macbook. Reinstalled - successfully finally - by chosing the option "previous settings archived in new file".
The only problem i had was at login ... it would not recognize my user password... which was the same one since i first turn on my new bought macbook. Anyways, i used again the disc 1, selected change my password and this time i managed to sign in with the new one (same old user).
1)NOW, question: do i have to re-update my software? Because before I had Mac OS X 10.5.2 (i always kept my computer up to date) and now, after reinstalling the software I have Mac OS X 10.5
or i should be able to reactivate them from the Previous Systems file (in this case how do i do that?
2) Can't figure still out my master password that unlocks the file vault plus i can't activate again the root admin user from Directory Utility ... i click it but doesn't do anything. Why is this and how can be sorted out?
my macbook details:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MB31.008E.B02
SMC Version: 1.24f2
Could someone help me with this? Please note it's my first time troubleshooting a computer ever and that my knowledge is not that vast in the field ... so please use simple steps/terms that i can follow.
Thank you,
LaurieThank you very much for answering so prompt to my questions.
1) yes, i will take all the updates. and ok, i won't touch the previous systems file
2) in regards to master password ... i tried all the passwords i ever used. not sure it's just "forgetting". Reason: as I mentioned before: The only problem i had after reinstalling the software was at login ... it would not recognize my user password... (and I add, nor the master password) which was the same one since i first turn on my new bought macbook.
As i couldn't sign in, used again the disc 1 to reset my administrator password and it did save but with the notice that i should "use the keychain access to reset the password for users login" .This time i managed to sign in with the new one (same old user). Then I went to the keychain clicked login and changed the password for keychain login. Did i do good? do I have to change something else. please let me know as don't really know.... i just follow help advice.
3)in regards to root password ... i had it also before ... using help on "security" issue ... as i connect to different networks ... i read that one could help ... please understand that i'm learning as i go, as this time i don't have someone else to do those things for me. so why doesn't it activate anymore? and why would it be better not to activate it?
4)speaking of learning, from my initial post where i posted the errors that my disk utility found ... what do u think caused my computer to freeze? i was browsing on safari facebook as well as I had both yahoo messenger and skype opened... first the messenger froze, then crushed, then i restarted it , then froze, then all the rest froze, without responding to force quit.
5) after reinstalling the software, i still have yahoo messenger and other applications.... is that safe to use now? they are still in my applications
and last 6) did I do everything correct when my computer would not start up?
thank you

I lost the CD that came with my ipod and can't connect to new computer
When I put my shuffle in the USB port it says there is an unknown host in the port that windows does not recognized (it says it has "malfunctioned"). I don't have the CD that came with my ipod to reconnect it to this computer. A guy from another forum told me all I needed was itunes but I have itunes. The ipod isn't recognized by either.I believe I need that CD unless there is a downloadable version of the cd here somewhere? HELP.

You don't need a CD. As noted, you need iTunes.

How do i recover the drivers that came with the delivery? (Dolby problem after 8.1update)
Hello there community!
I have a burning question.
I recently bought a thinkpad edge 540. Which came preinstalled with windows 8.
When i updated to 8.1 I lost my dolby audio, this seems to happen a lot more, reading through this community.
There is a solution for that, to just reinstall the audio input and output device with the drivers that came with the delivery. However, and here is my problem.
In the solutions given, they are talking about a section on the hard drive that should contain the drivers. In most cases E:\DRIVERS.
Unfortunately, thats not the case with me. I know there is a recovery partition, but i cant see it within windows.
I used this to reset to the factory defaults already, but i cant find a drivers section.
Im hesitant to update again to 8.1 now, because it gave me several issues. One of them was the intel wifi driver, which was hard to resolve in the beginning, but also now the DOLBY audio.
Can anyone tell me, where to find the drivers? or is it just not possible?
I dont have a drivers section, or partition on my hard drive anyway..
Can you guys please help me out? Since i like the dolby feature, and it would be a shame to not be able to update to 8.1. (safety issues and features).
I know there are more people encountering this problem, but the solution to just use the preinstalled driversection.. is not an option for me, sadly. Or perhaps I am wrong..
Any help is greatly appreaciated! Thanks guys!You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you may be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download however they are not under any obligation to do so. The policy on lost songs is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
You can email them from any of the links on this page: iTMS Customer Service
