Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I have paid for elements 12 and premiere 12, and they refuse to open. WHY IS THIS MR ADOBE ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hello Barbara.
I installed elements 12 and premiere 12 DVD on the 17/9/2014 in windows. I registered serial number's DOB and password with ADOBE. It was installed successfully.I opened elements 12 today and edited and saved a file -no problem. This evening when I opened elements 12 the organiser opened, I tried to open the editor but all I got was a request for my I.D. I posted above information,but it still will not open. I am pulling my hair out. I would appreciate any help from you please. I get the impression that ADOBE don't want to know when you have a problem with their products. -
quicktime pro doesn't accept my registration code. I have paid for two codes and neither one works.
Ensure that you're following these steps.

I have followed the instructions, gone to my command/order which states I have paid for the product and it is ready to download. I have then, gone to 'my downloads' and it advises me that I have no downloads available! What next?
The product is online and accessible via the web site. It was accessed via an email connection.

i have paid for mountain lion and it says it is dowloading ....but nothing seems to be happening? it is a macbook 6,1 (4 years old?) and is currently running OS X 10.6.8
It's a 4+ GB file. It takes some time if you have a slow Internet connection. You may have lost connection with the server. Try pausing the download for a few second then restarting.

Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!
This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password. Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal. When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Enter. When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account. Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save. Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
And you have a new password for your account. -

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on. -
HT4539 I have forgotten how to "read" a book that I downloaded. Can anyone help?
I have forgotten how to "read" a book that I downloaded. Can anyone help? Also, how would I download it to my documents for future reading or printing? I am very new to this process.
If it's an ibook that you've downloaded from iTunes then (if you don't already have it installed) you need to download the iBooks app to your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch (an ibook can't be read on a Mac or PC), and you can then either (if you have the book on your computer) sync the book to your device via your computer's iTunes or re-download it directly in the iBooks app on the device (re-downloading).
To sync a book to the iBooks app, connect your device to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync the book to the iBooks app.
There is a chapter on the iBooks app in the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch's manual : http://support.apple.com/manuals/
iBooks FAQ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059 -
I had my iphone 3GS and then upgraded to 6.1.3. Now the phone is in a loop and reboots everytime the Apple logo comes up. I held teh home power and connected to itunes to retore, but it won't restore. any ideas?
Hey harikrishnandhk,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issue with your iPhone 3GS. You are definitely taking the correct steps, as you'll want to restore the iPhone in recovery mode. For information on doing so, see this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Thanks,

My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?
Using the 5th generation iPod. Purchased it a few months ago before the new one was launched. Yes the workout randomly ends when I am no where near the time or distance I have programmed in. I keep tried to restart the workout and the same thing keeps happening over and over again. I figured it may have been the headphones but I have even tried holding the headphone connection in place, and different headphones as well and it continues to happen.
