How can re-install the factory apps without the CD?

Hello,
A friend has given me his old iMac. It is a 5.1 late 2006 17".
He has deleted some of the apps that were installed by the factory and I would like to re-install them but I do not have the CD that came with the iMac.
what can I do?

I would recommend just grabbing this disc from the Apple Store. You shouldn't need the original system disc, as this will get you the mac app store to get the iLIfe programs etc. It's advantageous to have an OS X disc for your iMac as you do not have the recovery partition that modern macs have. In addition to installing Snow Leopard, you can use this disc to do health checks on your boot partition etc.

Hi, I bought my Macbook in Nov 2008, Alumunium and now I am selling this to my friend how can i reset to factory setting without the CD

How can i restore my macbook to the factory setting?? I am presenting it to my friend.

since you are running mt lion on the mac you can boot to the recovery partition (restart holding down command+R keys)
once booted there open the disk utility window and then on left side select the mac HD select the erase tab and make sure that next to format it says "mac OS extended journaled"
click on the erase button
once done close the disk utility window then click on the option to "install mac OS" and follow the prompts
once the install is completed and the mac is restarted it will be like new and the setup assistant will open on startup

How can I reset my admin. password without the MAC OXS reinstall, bought mine used and have no such disk

Hi, how can I change my admin password without the reinstall of MAC OXS disk or whatever that is, I bought my macbook privately and cant update my adobe flash without the password which I have never set up. but anything I type in is wrong...... as a password.

ok have read all relivant posts and have tried the restart command+R which does absolutely nothing. My Computer opens up as usual.
I have found another response which suggests command+S and generate an entirely new admin. and password and you are not supposed to loose a single file.
Has anyone done this and been successful? I have just installed a new hard drive in the last 3 months and don't want to do any damage.
Hearing a success story would be nice. Thanks

I had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

i had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

Hi ...
Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
If you have problems resetting, use the email form here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

How can I import not only apps from the old iphone to the new iphone, but also the content of the apps?

You can sync apps as you normally would, but I do not believe this copies over app specifc data (i.e. saved game status/scores).
You can always restore your new device with a backup from your old device.

How can I purchase items for app when the app was loaded on another ID before? I has to Chang my AppleID and also transferred an app to new phone. I can't purchase items for app because it wants me to buy the app through new ID. The app was free.

All apps (and other content from the store) are tied to the account that downloaded them, whether or not they are free. To do in-app purchases in that app you will either need to log in with the account that downloaded it, or delete it (which will delete its content) and download it with your currently logged in account if you want to do IAPs on that account.

How can I install a second version without affecting the first?

How can I install a second version of FF without affecting my original installation?

You can install multiple Firefox versions via a custom install in different installation folders and only use the older Firefox version when you really need it.<br />
Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Custom+installation+of+Firefox+on+Windows
* http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
Make sure not to start Firefox after the installation has finished.<br />
Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version.<br />
Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

How can I install HBO GO app on my Apple TV 2

Hi!
I have an Apple TV 2 device and HBO Go possibilities from my cable TV provider.
I didn't find HBO GO app on my Apple TV.
How can I install it?
My location is Hungary.
My cable TV provider is UPC.
Thanks

Ehh! This is the standard situation.
If you live outside the USA, you can not live.
Why I think that?
Because I am watching HBO in HD resolution every day, and I am watching HBO GO on my iPad (I think this is Apple product too :-)), and I watching HBO GO on my Laptop.
I have high-speed broadband internet connection (150 Mbit/sec).
But on my Apple TV I CAN NOT watch HBO GO.
My question is, Why?

How can I install illustrator 7.0 without a CD-ROM

We are a research lab. The principal investigator purchased a illustrator 7.0 a few years ago. It's a education version. But the CD-ROM for installation is lost. How can we install the software?

Liz,
You might be able to run old software on what is known as a virtual machine (a special mode, such as XP Mode, running within a newer OS, such as Windows 7).
But without the installation disc I am afraid it is doomed.
It is my impression that some older version will suit your needs.
The only versions available from Adobe are CS6 (which you may try (for a month) and buy as educational version) and CC (which you may try (for a month) and rent as eduational version, in other words a monthly expense in all eternity).
I believe you may buy an older commercial version second hand at a very reasonable price, with a licence transfer registered at Adobe (provided the version has never been used as the basis for an upgrade); educational versions cannot be transferred.
