Help finding the OS version

Hi, I have a imac G3 (M5521) that I got from a school I work for. Unfortunately I don't know the password at startup. I'm trying to get my hands on a install disc to reset the password but my question is how do I get the right disc version if I can't get past the password/login? I know it is says OS X at startup but thats it. Is there another way to find the OS version without the password? Or can I use any OS X install disc to reset the password?

M5521 sound like it is a slot-loader iMac G3 (optical discs go into a slot). If that is the case, there is one additional consideration. If may have a CDROM drive, CDRW drive, or DVDROM drive. The retail Tiger (10.4) installation disc is usually a DVD and would not be readable if the optical drive is CDROM or CDRW. The retail Panther (10.3) installation disc (set of three) is always on CDROM, so it would work in any case.
I don't know if you can reset the password using the installation disc, if the OS version is not the same. But it will definitely not work if the iMac cannot read the disc.
You may get information about the OS version if you startup in +verbose mode+.

I purchased a new laptop. I'm trying to find the same version of Acrobat Pro 9.5 I have on my old laptop to install on my new computer. Any help?

I purchased a new laptop. I'm trying to find the same version of Acrobat Pro 9.5 I have on my old laptop to install on my new computer. Any help?

I'm using an iMac with the newest OS X Yosemite. I tried to reinstall Creative Cloud, removed all the programs. But I still get the 'old' 2014 version with the Lionhead, not the Sunglasses (october 2014) with interactive libraries. I use Adobe iPad apps, for instance Adobe Brush, Adobe Shape and Adobe Color and it's so great to have all the things you make with these apps in your Illustrator & Photoshop libraries. Somehow it worked om my laptop, but not om my home computer.

Where can I find the latest version number in a document in the web? so I can download it with wget to check if the current installed firefox version is up to date and update ir if necessary?

My problem is that I can't find the latest version number in here http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32 as a document, so I can check against "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\CurrentVersion" and update or not, all this is done by a script. It will be great not have to change the versión number in the script every time there is a new release.
Thanks

I think I solved, all I have to do is this:
//here I download the entire page
wget.exe http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html -O index
//here I search for the word curVersion and set a variable with the result, which is "10.0.2"
for /f "tokens=3 delims=</> " %%A IN ('type index ^| FIND /I "curVersion" ' ) do set latestversion=%%A
//here I just make sure I get a number
echo "%latestversion%"
pause
Later I check it against the registry and voila! I hope this can help other admins who have the same problem.
Regards.

How Do We Find the Latest Version of a Document without its Path?

Does anyone know how to find the latest version of a document in iFS when you don't know the path of the document? I'm using a Selector to search iFS based on a search string for the object's title and am not sure how to find the latest version of the returned documents.
Thanks for any help.

If you can use the Selector to get the public object then you are in good shape. Once you have the public object recast it to a Family. The method getLatestVersion() will return the public object of the latest version.

How to Find the Latest Version of Cluster Binary Files available at Microsoft website

How we can find the latest version of Cluster binary files available for download at Microsoft Website and which Cluster Binaries should be update to make the Cluster services stable healthy.

@AnatolySV : I believe you need to put some efforts to understand what he is asking.
You may find the latest version of Cluster Binaries by entering the required keywords for Microsoft Failover Clustering. Some of the main Cluster binaries(Keywords) are:-
Clusres.dll (For Cluster Resources like Disk, Application or Service, Cluster IP)
Clussvc.exe (Cluster Service)
TCPIP.sys (If the Storage is presented to the cluster Nodes via ISCSI Network).
MPIO.sys / ISCSIprt.sys (If we are using Multipathing for the disks to be presented).
RHS.exe (Resource Host Subsystem)
So, the Answer to your question is: You need to enter the binary name "Clusres.dll" and mention the Operating System you want to install your binaries to "Windows Server 2008 R2 Sp1" on Bing (Preferred for Microsoft Hotfixes). In Result you will get the
list of hotfixes for clusres.dll
You need to try this multiple times in order to get the latest version as Microsoft does not have a single Link.
Hope this answers your query. Feel free to leave a message incase you need more help.
Maybe)
But hey, you`ve got +1 from me for clarification)
Anyway, I still think that the initial question could be more clear and exact.

I have an iPad1 which I have reset and am preparing to give to a kid. I now find that I can't reinstall many apps as they now seem to require IOS 6 or greater. This is IOS 5 and can't be upgraded. Is there a way to find the older versions of the apps?

One of these links may help:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

Log into the system as admin.
Note To see which version of NCS you currently have installed, enter show application version NCS

How to find the what version ( Data center or Standard ) of SCOM installed

How to find the what version ( Data center or Standard ) of SCOM installed
Raghavendra Bhat

Raghavendra, you are true. There are two version of System center
Microsoft considers the Standard version for those who are “lightly” virtualized, i.e., those that do not need an excessive number of VMs running in the organization. The license for Standard includes 2 processors and 2 VMs (or two
OS instances). You can stack licenses if you need to add additional processors or additional VMs in your environment, but there is a breakpoint where it makes more sense, financially, to opt for the Datacenter package. That breakpoint will generally
be around 5 VMs. Pricing is $1,323 for System Center 2012 Standard.
Microsoft considers the Datacenter version for those organizations who are highly virtualized. System Center 2012 Datacenter licenses include an unlimited number of Operating System Environments (OSEs) in an on premises environment
or eight OSEs in a public cloud environment. Large Enterprises and Cloud providers will benefit most from this model. Pricing is $3,615 for System Center 2012 Datacenter.
For more information about licensing and difference between system center Datacenter and standard, you can refer below link

Is it just me that finds the latest version of iTunes a bit rubbish? Is there any way to have a playlist open in a new window?

Is it just me that finds the latest version of iTunes a bit rubbish? I'm used being able to open a playlist in a separate window in order to browse through my music and easily drag and drop tracks into the playlist (in a separate window). It also meant that I could search and play the contents of my main library and just drag and drop into a large space AND easily hit the stop button and instantly hit the pay button to just start a new tune from a new playlist. Now you can only press pause / play / pause and so on. If I want to view the contents of a playlist while listening to another I need to navigate to it which takes me away from what I'm doing in the other. It just makes for a lot of clicking and navigating around the houses when I used to be able to have multiple windows.
I'm an avid music fan and just love organising my music to make finding / listening to my favourites eaiser.
Maybe I'm just a bit thick and not using the software correctly, but it seems that a lot of handy features have been either removed or replaced with inferior ones (at least for me anyway). I appreciate that probably for most generic general music goers this isn't an issue, but for me it is.
A rather long winded way of asking if anybody knows if it's possible to have multi-windows open, but also a chance to have a public moan about a great piece of software that has been updated and gone backwards - a bit like the iPhone google / apple maps situation!

How do I find the iTunes version on my iPad?

How do I find the iTunes version on my IPAD?

You can't. The version is whatever the version is for the iOS that you are running. The preinstalled apps are updated when the iOS is updated so whatever iOS your are running determines that version.
If you are asking because you are trying to submit feedback or trying to communicate with Apple via some support link that is asking for the version, just ignore that and enter the information in any special instructions field or whatever is available.

Can I get help installing the latest version of iTunes?

Can I get help installing the latest version/update of iTunes on my PC?

Assuming the install has failed as it has for several others...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
