Getting my 3G ready to sell

I'm sorry if this is the wrong category for this..wasn't quite sure where to put it. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 4 from my 3G. I would like to sell my 3G but I wasn't quite sure what exactly I needed to do to get it ready to sell. I am with AT&T so its locked to them. I know on the phone there is a reset option to reset all settings on the phone. But do I leave my SIM in or take it out? Thanks for any info!

I have one more concern..I just reset the phone..I did erase all content and settings. I'll be removing the SIM before I sell it. When the phone is on all its showing is the connect to itunes picture. I'm assuming this is normal and whoever buys it will have to put their sim in or get a new one, then connect the phone to their computer to restore it to factory settings then transfer their stuff? I just want to make sure I won't be selling a brick to anybody.

Getting old mac ready to sell-no DVD

I have an iMac 10.6.8 that I am planning on selling. I would like to make it clean of my personal data. Where would I double-chck/
Also, I am unable to delete the folders I put in the sidebar of the Finder. Can't drag them off. How do I get those off?

An iMac 10.6.8 is not a model number of a iMac. It's an iMac that's running 10.6.8.
Click on the Apple Menu's, "About This Mac," to identify your iMac. Once done, you should be able to order replacement DVDs, from Apple, for it.
When you sell your Mac, you should erase the hard drive and sell it with the original supplied DVDs.
Also, I am unable to delete the folders I put in the sidebar of the Finder. Can't drag them off. How do I get those off?
Control click them and select, "Remove from Sidebar," from the menu.

Getting ready to sell, help appreciated!

Hey guys, Im getting ready to sell my 8330 on Sprint and I want to make sure I get this thing completely wiped clean. I did the Wipe clean in the security settings, I removed all media, I just want to make sure when I sell it the next person wont be able to restore it at all. I want to take my Sim card out right? Is their anything im forgetting? Thanks for the help!

hello,
what is your question ?
1) it's easy to put the microSD card in. Just keep in mind that the metal part is like a door. Open the door by sliding it (there are little arrows on it), put the memory card in it, close the door, then slide to lock the door.
2) he memory card belongs to you, there are datas on it ; I don't know if they are erased by the wiping but I doubt it. I think you don't want the new owner to find pictures of you in your bathroom.

HT1498 I've rented a movie but it seems to stick at the download screen. I get the message "ready to play in ...." but it doesn't get past this. I've left my broadband and apple TV on all night but this message is still there.

I've rented a movie but it seems to stick at the download screen. I get the message "ready to play in......" (time stated varies) but it doesn't get past this screen. I've left my broadband and apple TV on all night but this message is still there. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Neerav
The Apple TV streams the movie you rent and loads up enough in its memory to let you watch buffer free and then forgets the movie. You get a rental for 30 days until you start to watch it then you have if for 48 hours.
The only thing you can do is play it when you want to watch it, if there is a problem when you do that contact apple or post again. The Apple TV does not download the movie so if you switch off and resume later it will need to reload but can start from where you left off.

What is the recommended security software for MacPro? I am getting popups, including offer to sell Mac Sheild. Is this legit?

What is the recommended security software for MacPro? I am getting popups, including offer to sell Mac Sheild. Is this legit?

No, it is not legit, it's a scam. Avoid such popups and DO NOT under any circumstances fall for any claims that your system has been infected by viruses and download any of this "scareware". See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4650
For additional information, see also:
http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=138
http://www.reedcorner.net/guides/macvirus/
If you do a forum search on Mac Defender, Mac Protector or Apple Security Center (this fake has a lot of different names) you will also find a lot of threads about this.
The most recommended "security software" is "none", beyond common sense and normal caution. If you do, however, decide you wish to run antivirus software, I think that the donationware clamXav should be more than enough provided you remember to scan your system from time to time. iAntivirus has also been recommended by others, though I have no personal experience with it.
If you are running Windows on your system, either via BootCamp, Parallels Workstation or another solution, then that copy of Windows is subject to all the myriad exploits common to the Windows world, so you need to take full precautions, including running both antivirus and antispyware software.

Getting an iMac G5 ready to sell

I have a G5 pc that I am selling. Thanks to archived threads, I have backed up, used disk utliity to erase with 0's, installed the original disks (Tiger) and installed 10.5.4 (disk is part of the sale). I would like to get the computer to start up fresh for the buyer. I found this on the internet:
Here are the Terminal commands to delete a temporary (or lone) account in single-user mode on Leopard (in the following commands, replace username with whatever account short name you've created). Note that this must all be done in single user mode (hold Command-S during boot).
First, the usual stuff:
$ mount -uw /
$ rm -R /Library/Preferences/
$ rm -R /Users/username/
(Note that deleting /Library/Preferences/ is optional and in some cases may cause problems after pre-configuring some third-party software. However, I do this after simple configs or installs, e.g., install an OS, apply Software Updates, and then give it to the end user to create a fresh account.)
Now here's what's new in Leopard:
$ rm /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/username.plist
$ rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
I've never touched Terminal before. When I try to input the commands $ mount -uw /
$ rm -R /Library/Preferences/
$ rm -R /Users/username/
It tells me it's not a legal function,
Looking for help in getting the computer to start up as a new computer.
Thanks,
Grawingirl

Maybe you want to try it this way instead. BTW, he recommends a 7pass erase. That is overkill; a one pass zero out will be completely adequate. You will want to do this unless it is a close friend or someone you trust completely.
http://hivelogic.com/articles/how-to-prepare-a-mac-for-sale
After installation, when you’re prompted to create a new user, just press Command-Q.
This will quit the installer, and allow you to cleanly shut down the computer. The next time the computer is turned on by the new owner, they’ll get to watch the Welcome video and go through the user-creation and registration steps on their own, just like they would if the computer had shipped to them right from the factory.
Also, that command is rm -r (not rw) -R is OK too. EDIT: Also, you say you already zeroed out the Drive. If that's true, that means there's nothing left of your original account or installation. You don't need to remove anything now. There's nothing left to remove. You can just reinstall as in the link above.

Clearing A OS X 10.6.5 getting ready to sell it

Hey guys and gals I am looking at getting a macbook and selling my mini. Does anyone know the best and most secure way to delete any data saved on my machine?
Thanks James

Boot up the Mac Mini with the install disc that shipped with it when it was new. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Click the Erase tab, then click the Security Options button. Choose "Zero out data", or an even stronger overwriting algorithm if you want. When it's done, all the old data will be gone.

5800 XM lifestory - get your popcorn ready people

Hello everyone. This is my first post here as I don't know where else to put it. It is quite long as it will go through alot of problems I have occured and I dont know what to do so please help. It may give you soloutions to some of your problems too.
I recently got a Nokia 5800 XM with a 1 year music store download subscription card. I got this in August 2009. I started off using the phone as a rookie to Nokia s60 5th edition phones. All I could say was that I was greatly, very greatly, satisfied with the product. It exceeded all expectations and work flawlessly. Until the day when the phone did NOT recognise the 8gb memory card within and the photos in the gallery had their thumbnails missing (even though the photos were listed!). It was strange, this never happened before.
This happened a few months later from the day i got it. I turned the phone off, took out the battery, put the memory card in, put battery back in and turned it on. The splashscreen with NOKIA in blue came up (as the phone vibrates and then starts). After that these things happened (to keep it short):
A1) The first time i did this it asked for a lock code (i set it). I put it in and everything is OK.
A2) Next day I turned my phone on, entered code, went onto home screen and stayed STUCK on it. I tried pressing the menu button but it would take about 2 minutes to get to the menu 2 5 minutes to load any sort of application!
A3) Same day: I tried accessing the memory card from Windows XP computer (SP3). The computer froze and crashed.
A4) Same day: I tried accessing memory card from PC suite by choosing PC Suite mode from the phone. This worked for a day and then this too would crash and cause the computer to end the program.
A5) Same day: I tried accessing memory card by putting the phone into Mass Storage mode. This worked completely and I was able to back up some files (pics, songs, vids etc).
A6) Next day: As a test I tried accessing the memory card from a different computer. I got the same results as in (2), (3) and (4). This test made me conclude that the memory card was corrupted (which was pretty strange as I never did take it out of the phone ever since I got it!).
A7) The day after that I turned the phone on and guess what? It took about 20 minutes to get to the lock code and the touch screen was not responding to me pressing the numbers.
I made the decision to format the memory card by using my computer (windows XP). I could access it through Mass Storage mode so it made things alot easier. I formatted the memory card WITHOUT uninstalling ANY of the applications that were originally installed to the memory card. This, of course, was a bad move but I was desperate as I needed the phone to work. If you ever do install lots of applications onto a memory card (install them one by one) you will notice that even the phone memory gets used up very slightly. What happened was that I had half a program on the phone (including all of my music Licenses, phone locks and registry for alot of programs and themes).
SO after the format I put the card back into the phone. It recognised it and showed the message that said something like, "Readying memory card". This took a few minutes but after that it went. I then immediately updated my phone to the latest firmware (which was v21 at that time) and put my backed up files onto it again. That fixed a whole load of errors from before.
A few months later a few of the thumbails for my pictures went missing again. The day this happened the phone became slow and unresponsive too. I decided to update the phone's applications and firmware again. This, again, fixed the problem but not for long.
In November 2009 my phone was slowly 'failing':
B1) It would randomly switch off even during a use of any application and even when I was making a call.
B2) NEW: every time my phone was left on its own for about 5 minutes the screen would only display lines of colour, not text or anything related to the GUI of the phone. Just lines. I noticed that the phone was stone-cold at that point. So a little heat (rubbing it in hands or leaving it in my warm pockets) would solve it and it did.
B3) Making phone calls would take AGES! It took about 5 minutes for the sound that shows a connection to the other phone would come up!
B4) No dial tones - sometimes when I dialled a number there would be no 'beep-beep' of the integers being put in (regardless if I was in Silent profile or General with the volume put at maximum)
B5) Internet fail - the phone would not connect to any sort of connection wether it be mobile internet to any Wifi spot.
B6) Transparent images - web graphics and transparent images that should normally blend in witht the background had, for some reason, a grey filling. This never happened before and I took note of it.
B7) Facebook malfunction - when the new 'touchscreen site' for facebook came out, I was enthralled to see a site that uses the functions of the phone only (just touchscreen). However it worked fine for a few weeks but after that if I clicked on a name of one of my friends it would 'glitch' Basically the same page would load (before I clicked on someone) and the header of the page (that said 'Facebook' with the tabs 'home', 'profile', 'friends' and 'inbox' in a blue background) would all be DUPLICATED to the bottom of the page. This would happen again and again and they would act like separate 'processes' or 'pages' in one page only.
B8) Facebook transparent glitch - the new touch site has a notifications area on the top-left of the screen. Normally it would show an image of a whiteboard with lines on it if there were no notifications. If there are it would show up as a red square with a number in it showing how many. This happens but the number has white 'cut outs' like scissors cut around it harshly leaving jaggy edges and pixels and NO transparency.
B9) Connection to WLAN lost - this happened between 20 seconds and 30 minutes of connecting to ANY wifi spot.
I checked for firmware updates and updated to v31 or v38 (one of those two). This fixed problems (3), (6) and (8) for another few months. After that I was happy with the phone even though it still had all the other problems.
January 2010. A new year, a new hope and, of course, new dilemmas
Phone was fine until the memory card got corrupted. How did that happen? I took a picture of my new barbecue machine and when it says 'processing image' underneath the battery DIED and the phone shut off. *sigh* I charged the phone and went to that picture that I took (when the battery died) and it had no thumbnail. This was expected. I opened it and it said 'corrupt file'. After that I deleted it but it couldnt delete it! I tried deleting it through 'File mgr.' and 'X-Plore'. Didn't work. Tried it through windows through USB mass storage. Computer crashed. Took MMC out of computer. Computer magically fixed! Corrupt memory card. I didnt try it on another computer but I was sure the card had 'gone bad'. So this time I first backed up the stuff I wanted from there, uninstalled everything from the phone (except for some themes which I forgot) and then formatted the card.
After the format I realised I missed the sisx themes to uninstall. They had not gone from the themes list but It showed that they were installed to the phone memory - something that I had NOT done before the format. I installed everything to the memory card.
I slowly worked out (over the weeks) that everytime I installed something to the memory card there would be some sort of 'remnants' left behind after a format. I got this because after the 2 formats I got another problem and a solution:
C1) Music player custom Equalisers - all had been deleted after the format and there were none in the list. However when I went to make a new setting and pressed 'OK' after choosing a name for it and setting the levels it would sound as if all the levels were back to 0. I rechecked and found that the name was saved as Preset 1 and NOT what I chose it to be (I named it 'My Own') and the levels were, in fact, back to 0. What I worked out was that if I wanted them back then I would just leave the name how it came up (Preset 1, Preset 2) and leave the equaliser levels on 0. Guess what it would be saved as?? The first one in the list before the format! It was called 'Pop my way' and the equaliser levels were exactly the same as before the format. I did the same thing 5 more times and I recovered all of my old custom equaliser levels and settings.
C2) This is EXACTLY the same for the notes application. I had a full list of notes before the format and a blank list after the format. I just entered a blank note and they came up magically as my old ones with all the info' saved on them!
February 2010 - I made a habit of checking for updates every week. The last update was on 29th December 2009 (software version 40.0.005 custom version 40.0.005.C03.01). Ever since then there had been no software updates. Just application updates. I updated my Nimbuzz application and there was something called Scribble Powered by Python. It was a drawing tool (4 MB?!?!) and turned your phone into a mini version of MS Paint. Rubbish! Didn't need that. Didn't install it. Got errors installed it and error gone.
March 2010 - Unexpected breakdown of phone. Same problems as (A7, B2, B7, B8. B9) and a few new ones:
D1) I went onto the Download! app. It wanted update. I gave it update. It changed to Ovi store. Looked nice, a bit sluggish and hard on the RAM but it was fine. I downloaded lots of stuff from there, it was a great app! UNTIL the dreaded update of version 1.05(611) which installed halfway and then somehow, unexpectedly, the progress bar would stop and then it would say 'update error' and close, leaving me blinking foolishly at the screen. I tried again and again and again. Same update, same error. Now there is a new one out and I cant update to that either because it says 'Update error'
D2) Nokia Music Store application for my phone now cannot even get to the main screen from where i can search or choose tracks from. The only place I can get to is the store selector from which you choose what country you are from. If I click on UK (where I live) it displays an error message saying, "Music Store: Unable to perform operation". I had this error before on the web browser but it soon went later on. No matter how many times I click on it the same message will keep on coming and coming. I even tried the Music store from my PC which leads to the next problem.
D4) Nokia music store for windows XP. Now updated to Nokia Ovi Player cannot and will not recognise, connect and sync the music from my phone in any of the USB modes the phone is on (PC Suite, Media Transfer, Mass Storage, Image transfer << NONE OF THOSE) this is something completely new and did NOT happen before the formatting of the memory card! The phone isnt even recognised in Music Store/Ovi Player and asks for a phone to be connected whereas PC Suite/Ovi Suite recognises it and fully works. I even tried pressing the 'Sync' button in Ovi Suite on the music page and it says something like 'Could not transfer'.
D5) The ovi store application will NOT update from Ovi Suite. The error message given says: "Internal error - could not update ovi store".
<<<<<<<<<<ALMOST FINISHED PEOPLE, JUST 2 MORE THINGS>>>>>>>>>>
After all this rubbish I decided to do a full master phone reset to the phone memory only. I took out the memory card and did a hard reset. Everything back to normal. Updated everything on the phone. Put memory card back in..... 'readying memory card'... the smart thing was that it scanned the memory card and automatically installed ANY sisx, sis, JAR files automatically and put all the media files into the library automatically. Hence the name smartphone. I, on the other hand, didnt wait for it to finish as it was taking a good hour to do so and I tried cancelling it, tried to turn the phone off, took the card out and then put it back in (which worked but restarted the 'card-readying process') so i took the battery out as the phone went stuck on the readying bit, put it back in and turned it on. The apps were installed but only some of them were and the had their icons missing. This was expected as I had force-stopped the installation processes. I manually installed everything and all was back to normal.
And now, I am here writing to you people to help me out because I have almost all the problems listed back into operation and I dont know what to do. I am not giving up yet - it took me a year of torture to get to this stage and I think I might win this battle
So... any ideas for salvation?? lol

That was something to read! - I don't know any exact solution to your problems.
It might be your phones hardware, might be a false fw install, might be a corrupted memorycard or even a faulty memorycard making problems again and againg. And you might wanna take it to a Nokia care point for an inspection.
But what I would check out is those themes and apps youre mention.
I have both n97 and 5800 with no such problems, but I once had similar issues with my n95 8gb after installing a couple of "homemade" themes from different websites, zedge.com amongst others.
I use nimbuzz on both of my phones, but have no trouble with it, but there could be other problems.
Try also not to force stop any installation as things can get corrupted even though it seems ok in the first place.

How can I upload my photos from an sd card to my Macbook Pro? I have done everything I know to do, and yet it still doens't work, I am frustrated and ready to sell this thing.

I am so frustated with this computer, I cannot get it to do anything. I have read all the forums about moving photos from an sd card to this computer and nothing is working..Can anyone please help me before I sell this thing?

put the card in the card reader, open the card (it should appear on your desktop) select the photos you want to copy and drag them to where ever you want to store them, or copy and paste them. it is exceedingly simple.
alternately open image capture and select the card from the list of devices and import them from there. again very easy.

Get jQuery Document Ready to work in a Custom Layout Page

Hi
Working with a branding company I have placed my Bootstrap and JQuery files at the bottom of my custom Master page
</footer>

All good! Now if I add a $(document).ready(function() below the above definitions and say have a date picker widget marked up this
works.
I have noticed that in my case I am unable to run document ready function at the custom page layout level- only the one in the custom master file is ever executed - I have tried moving the above definition files into the header as per the sample in
Bootstrap2.html but SharePoint simply removes them during the conversion. Moving the same document ready function out of the master into the layout page doesn't work
I guess my question is am I am have a unique document ready function at the page layout level as this I would have thought this would be possible - In my case I need my JQuery functon to perform some runtime branding that is unique per page

Can i get the new iPhone and sell my old iPhone?

I have the 4GB original iPhone and i was wondering if it was possible for me to upgrade to the new iPhone for the $199 price. If i can, am i able to sell my old on eBay? Some people say i can get the 8GB for 199 and some say i can get it for 499. I don't have an upgrade available and i signed a 2 year contract in September. Is this at all possible?

My understanding is that any current iPhone owner with an AT&T contract can get the $199/$299 prices regardless of when they last upgraded or renewed. Rationale seems to be that the original iPhone purchase was not subsidized by AT&T.
If that were not true, no current owner would be able to get the prices above, since we all bought the iPhone about 12-13 months ago at most and have no less than 11 months left on our two-year commitments.
I'm sure there is info on this on line somewhere. But best just go to an Apple store or an AT&T store and ask them.

Get rid of "Ready to Start Task Sequence"

I have several Task Sequences advertised to unknown computers. Since we got MS Surface we've had to change to boot image to 64bit. Its not an issue if we pick something with a different Boot Image, it just downloads the 32 bit Boot wim. The problem is, once
we select the Task sequence we want to walk away. instead it downloads the WIM and then goes to a "Ready to Start" screen. Does anyone know a way to get bypass this?
Unfortunately making everything the same boot image is not an option.

When you are using both boot images, I would say that there is no way to get rid of that message. The (unknown) computer will initially pick up the boot image that is assigned to the task sequence that is deployed the last to the (unknown) computer.
So, if you need the other task sequence, it will stage the other boot image.
