FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS WITHout ORIGINAL CD for G4 Powerbook

I have a problem with certain applications. The operating system I am using is Tiger but my original CD is lost. Can I reset (if yes, then how) the computer to its original settings without the CD? I also have a problem with the web browsers Safari and Firefox they stopped suddenly working. When I run the web browsers it says server not found for Safari ,and  when I run Firefox it says XBL missing. Both where working properly previously.
Thanks

Resetting the computer hardware to its original settings will probably not help with your problems. 
Do you have a backup hard drive connected via Firewire. If so, boot to the external HD & using Disk Utility on the external HD, repair permissions & verify the PowerBook's internal HD. If you don't have a backup (you should), boot in Safe Mode? See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392 Takes a while to run, but it usually "fixes" some problems.
Your browser problems could be caused by the fact you are using 10.4.6, instead of the latest/last Tiger version 10.4.11.  Update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US

  • Factory default settings ?

    How do I reset my HP Officejet all-in-one printer to factory default settings ?

    If you find the file com.apple.windowserver.plist and throw it in the trash and restart, that will get things back to factory default. On the other hand, if you have never previously made a calibration of any kind, then the settings probably still are at factory default.

  • I can not reset factory default settings in photoshop, which will enable the "mini bridge". any ideas???

    I tried uninstall and installing the program. I am taking a class and I need to open the "mini bridge" within the program.  The instructions were to open the program and as it was opening, press cntrl, alt and shift to access the default settings. I did this and the prompt came up asking if I wanted to go to factory default settings, I responded yes. The program continued to open and should have shown the mini bridge tab in lower left c@orner of the application page, nothing shows up. This is my dilema.

    Hi,
    The Mini Bridge panel is no longer available in the most current major version (15.x) of Ps CC aka 2014. You can install the previous major version, Ps CC (14.2.1) by using the Creative Cloud desktop application.

  • What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    Really, this is a question you should be asking yourself...
    What do you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Typical ISO that you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Shooting for clients or yourself? Makes a difference...
    Look, there is no magic bullet...the ACR/LR "Default" should only be changed for those adjustments you make 70-90% of the time and sould not be confused with image by image adjustments...
    So, as asked, your question can not really be answered other than to say, use a default that suits you.

  • Recently had to reset my computer back to factory default settings

    I recently had to reset my computer back to factory default settings due to a possible keylogger hidden somewhere on my computer. When I did this, I forgot to transfer all of my songs onto my iPod before I did it, which wiped all of my songs off of my computer. I recently re-installed iTunes and I need to know if there is a way to recover the songs I had purchased previously?
    Whenever I try to "Buy Song", it takes me to the receipt of the song, but won't download it. Any suggestions?

  • Reset 3GS to factory default settings

    I need to reset my 3GS iPhone to factory defaults (I will be doing this to five different phones ; does that matter?). Can some one direct me to the spot to do that? Thanks.

    Thanks for the replies. I am a procurement guy. The phones are not mine and the users turned them back in with NO documentation and a claim that all data had been wiped out. I gave two of the phones to my kids (17 & 18) and they found all sorts of pictures and other "data" on a "scrubbed" phone. This is why I asked how to reset to factory settings.

  • HT4527 cannot access original itunes library. PC back to factory default settings

    I'm using the same Toshiba laptop which has been returned (following a fault), to factory settings. I cannot get access via itunes, to my original music library when either ipod or ipad are connected.
    I have an iPod Touch 4th gen and Apple iPad version 3.
    The iPad has my original music library and videos on it. My ipod only has purchased music as now shown on the curreny itunes library.
    How do re-trieve the original library?
    Alan (UK)

    As far as the iPod know your restored computer is a new computer/new library.  If everything that is on your iPod is in the library on your restored computer let iTunes erase you iPod and replace its contents with what is now in your iTunes library.  If you have the iPod backup from your pre-restored iPod, you can restore your iPod from that backup to get your app data and other things back.  See the following fro the location of the backup file and what is in the backup.

  • Shortcuts for Spaces keeps revert to default settings without cause

    I have a Powerbook G4 that's running Leopard 10.5.8. It has plenty of free space on the hard drive (approx 35%).
    Whenever I start up my Powerbook or wake it from sleeping, the shortcut keys to switch between Spaces are no longer selected. It retains the designation I gave for which Space each application is assigned to, but the shortcut keys are for some reason reverted to where nothing is selected. Any suggestions??? This is VERY annoying.
    Thanks so much for all your help

    delete the file home directory/library/preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist and log out/in. then set spaces shortcuts again and see if they stick from now on.

  • Reset Project 2010 to factory default settings

    Hello, can someone please post the full path to access the HKEY file to delete? I am unable to find it. C:\HKEY_UserName\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\MS Project\Options does not work. I am able to get to the other path to delete the global template, but
    that does not work for me either. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
    I have tried 15.0 as well and am filling in my user name for UserName in the path above.
    Please help!

  • How can we show a custom column to all libraries in the default view without creating that for all libraries everytime

    Hi,
    Any help?
    Thanks

    You can use powershell script below which loops through each libraries and sets view.You can modify the script to user it for single library as well.
    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue
    $siteURL = "<YOURSITEURL>"
    $site = Get-SPSite($siteURL)
    foreach($web in $site.AllWebs) {
    foreach($list in $web.Lists) {
    if($list.BaseType -eq "DocumentLibrary") {
    // the variables `$web` and `$list` already reference the objects you need
    //$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($SiteURL) ;
    //$web = $site.OpenWeb($SiteURL);
    // new instance of the list is necessary to avoid the error "Collection was modified"
    $newList = $web.Lists.item($list.ID);
    $viewfields = New-Object System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection
    $viewfields.Add("DocIcon")
    $viewfields.Add("LinkFilename")
    $viewfields.Add("_UIVersionString")
    $viewfields.Add("FileSizeDisplay")
    $viewfields.Add("Created")
    $viewfields.Add("Modified")
    $viewfields.Add("Editor")
    [void]$newList.Views.Add(<VIEWNAME>, $viewfields, "", 100, $true, $true)
    $newList.Update();
    // setting the default view
    $view=$newList.Views["<VIEWNAME>"]
    $view.DefaultView = $true
    $view.Update()
    $web.Dispose();
    $site.Dispose();

  • Factory Settings Restore ... for what??!!

    I know that it will restore all origional phone settings ...
    But for example ... in my N95 8GB ... I want to know exactly what are these settings that is included in the reset ...
    I want to try it but I don't want to lose something that I didn't expected to lose...
    is there a list of these settings ?

    No data is lost with a revert to factory default settings (*#7780#).
    You'll just have to set up your theme, profiles and menu style again.

  • Default settings for characteristics in CCM 2.0

    Hello All,
    We have implemented CCM 2.0 at customer with SRM 5.0. To avoid changing the default settings of the characteristics for every catalog they create I would like to change the defaults. I have changed a few characteristics in table /CCM/C_CHAR but these changes don't seem to reflect in CCM. I also don't see the characteristics they created themselves. I have chekced the following tables in addition:
    /CCM/C_CHAR
    /CCM/C_CHAR_ALS
    /CCM/C_CHAR_ASPT
    /CCM/C_CHAR_TXT
    /CCM/C_CHR_ALIAS
    and
    /CCM/C_DTYPE
    /CCM/C_DTYPE_HDR
    /CCM/C_DTYPE_T
    /CCM/C_DTYPE_TXT
    /CCM/C_DTYPE_VL
    /CCM/C_DTYPE_VLT
    Can anybody please help me? They already have 30 procurement catalogs and this will soon be much more.
    Thanks,
    Antoinette

    Hello Masa,
    Thanks for your reply. I would like to change the values of the characteristics like Sortable. read only, required. list v iew, compare view etc. When a catalog is created it is created with default settings regarding those values which means that for every catalog our customer creates these settings need to be changed and that is a lot of work. What I am trying to achieve is to change the defaults to the requirements of our customer so when a new procurement catalog is created it is created with the correct settings for the characteristics.
    We have add the customer characteristics on schema level but these characteristics are not visible in the tables mentioned.And when I change settings in table /CCM/C_CHAR it does not change it in CCM.
    Hope you know the solution or maybe otherwise know somebody who can help me!
    Thank you,
    Antoinette
