  • Is it possible to re-register a hand me down itouch

    Is it possible to re-register a hand me down Itouch? My daughter upgraded from her 8GB ITouch and gave it to me, I would like to have it say my name and allow me to download upgrades etc but it will not allow unless I have her information.

    Connect the iPod to your computer. Make sure that you are signed inot your iTunes account in iTunes. The restore the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod.  Se the restoring topic of:

  • My hand me down MPC keeps repeating the start up chime and nothing comes on and no buttons have any effect. Any ideas?

    MY "hand me down" Mac Book Pro has decided that it will not boot up. I just get the first chime repeating over and over and none of the keys seem to have any effect at all. I cannot get into safe mode etc. My nearest Apple S tore is about 40 miles away. Any ideas out there?

    Alanmeats,
    Do you know the year of production (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
    Never mind - it looks as if it's a mid-late 15" 2009.
    It's sounds as if your problem is something mechanical - a bad drive, something, that will simply not allow the system to boot. Do you have the discs that originally came with the machine (gray discs)? If so, you can try booting from Disc One and see if you can boot into recovery mode. If not, you'll need to call Apple, with your serial number handy, and purchase a set of the machine-specific discs that came with the system (10.4.9 or 10.4.10 or perhaps even 10.5).
    Then you can see if you've a hardware or system problem.

  • I recently got a hand-me-down Macbook (white) 2010 and want to restore to factory settings. The computer did not come with any discs. It is running 10.6.8 and I purchased 10.6.3 recently to upgrade my MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook?

    I want to give the hand-me-down to my kids so they will stay off my MacBook Pro I'd like to start fresh with the MacBook, remove all the former owners information, restore it to factory settings, but it did not come with any installation discs, so I don't know what to do. I recently purchased Snow Lepoard for my 2008 MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook? Also, the former owner purchased Microsoft Office (ugh) with the computer but again, no installation discs. How do I keep that when I restore?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I purchased a mini to HDMI cable and tried to connect to the TV but the TV is not recognizing the computer. I attempted to set sound and display settings under the "my Preferences" utility with no success.  Again, I'm not sure if I need to upgrade my OS software Any Suggestions?

    Click the Home button once to display your Home Screens. Double click the Home button. That should display your open apps at the bottom of the screen. Press one of those icons until they wiggle and a red dot with an "x" appears appears on each icon. Press the red dot to close down each app. Press the Home button when all apps are closed.

  • Hand me down computer with no ethernet hookup.....

    hi there.  im wondering id there is any hope for my situation.  my daughter inherited a hand-me-down computer (and its actually very nice.)  it does not have an ethernet connection because it had never been used for the internet, just for the previous kids to play their cd-roms on.
    we have 2 computer in our house already connected thru our linksys wrt54g v8 router.  mama compter is hard-wired, and my baby laptop is wireless.   we wanted to add the step-child computer to the network and especially so my daughter can have internet.
    we bought a usb wireless adapter and got everything ready to go until i doscovered that i can not for the life of me find the linksys installation cd! *slapping self upside head*
    i did go to the suport page for the wrt54g v8 and downloaded the following:
    pdf - users guide,  pdf - data sheet,  text doc - release notes,  and a .bin  called:
    FW_WRT54Gv8_800.6.005_20080616.0
    i have trensferred it to the s-c computer with the memory stick, but there it sits because i domt know how to open a .bin file and if i did, i dont what to do with it if it were opened or read or whatever the file is  supposed to do.
    and furthernore (*grin*) i dont even know if this file ive downloaded and copied to the s-c computer is even the file needed for installation of if its just an upgrade to firmware.
    is there any hope for the step-child computer or is it doomed unless i get a in-board adapter with ethernet?  the thought process on that prospect is this free hand-me-down computer is starting to add up as weve already boaught a mouse and keyboard as well as the usb wireless adapter.  if im SOL on getting linksys installed to this computer im gonna be so so so sad.
    with that said, if i am SOL, please break it to me gently.

UGH!  is there anything i can do to get this new/old computer on the net for my daughter.  SHES_DRIVING_ME_BONKERS!

  • Can I use apple configurator to automatically shut down iPads to preserve my school's bandwidth?

    Can I use apple configurator to automatically shut down iPads to preserve my school's bandwidth?

    No, not if you mean remotely. Configurator does not allow any sort of remote control of the iPads. It's only for setting them up when connected to your master computer. There may be third-party MDM systems that might offer some such remote control over WiFi connections, though I can't tell you any that do.  This of course will not work on any iPad that's not in your control (usually ones that the school owns) and can get set up with the MDM solution. If you're concerned about iPads and other devices that the students own personally, you may need to control your WiFi access points instead.
    Regards.

  • Age/model of my hand-me-down iMac?

    where can i easily find age/model of my hand-me-down iMac?

    Go to the Finders menu... Click on the Apple logo... About this Mac... Click on the OS Version text until the serial number comes up.
    That's the serial number for the Mac.

  • IPad smart case doesn't shut down iPad

    After cleaning my iPad smart case (with iPad removed) it no longer shuts down iPad when closed.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    If u have nvidia videocard and have installed nvidia update, then u have the update service keeping the mainboard alive. Either uninstall nvidia update or disable the updater service. After all, nvidia don't release a driver every 5 minutes so u might just check in manually every month or so.

  • I have a dialog window on my iPad2 labeled iCloud Bakup -- the iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. The screen is frozen. I can't clear away the dialog box to close down iPad and I can't get to settings to make any changes there. Ideas?

    A dialog box has appeared on the screen of my iPad2 and has frozen the device so that I can't close it down or make changes to the settings. The titel is "iCloud Backup" and it reads: This iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi.
    I'm not sure why it hasn't backed up but I can't do anything to clear the dialog box, turn off the device or get to any settings or apps on the device.
    Any suggestions? Please help -- I'm caring for my mother in hospice and don't have time to deal with this at the Apple Store!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
    It will try to make a backup every time your iPad is plugged to the charger and connected to a network. To prevent that this message appears soon, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and choose Backup Now
