How do I bypass registration info page to get my G5 ready for resale?

After erasing and re-installing orig. OS X I restarted and am asked to fill out registration page info.  I don't want to do this because I am selling it.  Any way to bypass this screen?  Or any other suggestions on how to prepare computer for resale?

No. You shut it down and leave it that way for the next owner.
Here's a rather extensive set of procedures you might have followed:
Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
       A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
       B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
          1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
          2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
          3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
              side.
          4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
              sure to opt for that.
               Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
               startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
          1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
          2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
          3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
          4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
          5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See What to do with iCloud before selling your computer.
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
     A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
          1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
          2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
          3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
              Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          4. Install OS X.
          5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
          6. Shutdown the computer.
     B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                   it is three times faster than wireless.
          1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
              Utilities window appears.
          2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
          3. 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.
          4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
              and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
          6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
          7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
          8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

    How do i purchase a volume license to get a serial no. for Windows if i have a photoshop CS5 for Mac? And how much does it cost?

    Forget that nonsense talk about volume licenses. Or are you saying you need 10 Windows licenses? You simply buy a new version of PS (= new license) or do a platform swap.

  • How cna I deactivate multiple CS products and get new activation keys for them?

    I need to know how to deactivate all active installs of a given CS product and serial #, then get new activation keys for the same product.  I realize this is a question only an Adobe rep can answer, but online chat is closed and the phone support line is completely useless, so I have to ask here.
    -- Jon W. 

    you'll need to contact adobe support to reset your activation count for each product if you are unable to do that yourself, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html
    you will not get or need a new activation key.  your original one will still work for cs3 and later.

  • ANYBODY KNOW HOW 2 BEGIN WRITING ON A PAGE AS IN A LETER FORMAT FOR A BOOK

    WHEN COMPOSING YOUR BOOK OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN CLICK ON YOUR PAGE AS A SINGLE OR A WHOLE PAGE LOOK AND I KNOW I CAN DROP A JPEG IN LETTER FORMAT WHICH DOES NOT LOOK CLEAR OR VERY PRESENTABLE. QUESTION IS THERE A WAY TO JUST BEGIN WRITING ON THAT PAGE JUST AS YOU WOULD START A LETTER I NEED TO WRITE A POEM IN THAT LOOKS CLEAN AND CRISP ANY SUGGESTIONS ?

    1 - learn to use upper and lower case - all caps is like shouting and very hard to read
    2 - I don't have iPhoto 6 anymore but I believe that some book themes have layout pages that are all text just like iPhoto '08 does - see Liz Castro's page for full descriptions of the iPhoto '08 themes and the layouts available for each to see if that points you in a good direction - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/
    you may have to spend some time digging around in looking at the layouts available for several themes

  • How to convince my dad to let me get an iPhone 4S for Christmas?

    So background info:
    I'm 14, have straight A's and NOT a spoiled brat. The only technology I own is a crappy tracfone and an iPod 4th gen that I bought myself.
    Basically, I asked my dad if I could get an iPhone for Christmas, and he said we'll talk about it. I'm planning on telling him that I'll pay the $20 for the data plan every month, and that I'll but the accessories that I need for it. I just want to know of any pros you guys have that I can tell him that would help me convince him for sure.
    Thank you!

    there is a feature on it called find my phone. if u have that turned on he can track u with the apple id that is signed in using his smartphone or icloud.com whenever he wants.
    if ur willing to pretty much put a tracking chip on urself so to speak, thats a good place to start.
    can also mention that it has gps on it and appmaps installed by default so u can always find ur way home or anywhere else for that matter.

  • How do I re-set the old IPad to make it ready for a brand new user? Is it simply the Restore command in ITunes?

    Purchased an IPad 2 and will be giving my first generation IPad to my wife. What is the easiest way to re-set the old IPad to make it ready for a new user?
    Is it simply the Restore command in ITunes?

    Do a full sync/ back up of the old one first.  Then you can sync the new one to the old backup.  When you are all ready, on the i pad, goto system . General . Reset.  and select erase all content.  Turns the old one into out of the box condition.

    Thanks for posting all the steps you've done so far, and that pretty much covers HP's print quality troubleshooting document.

  • How to go back to drag pages set up

    some how as i was updating things , i got the old X button at the top to exit out of pages. How do i get bak to draging the pages to get out. thank you for your help.  ps NEW COMPUTER windows 8.1

    I tried trashing the new Pages, even using AppCleaner, and put the old one back in its place but it would not show up in Launchpad. Now that may not be a huge deal on the surface since I can drag it to the dock from the app folder and set up associations manually, but it tells me that I have incompletely deleted the new Pages and that the old one is not in the same state as it was originally. Also, I could not officially reinstall the new one (even if I wanted to) using app store since it still thought it was installed. I had clearly messed things up not terribly, but enough to really annoy me and maybe cause trouble down the line.
    Anyway, I did end up doing a complete restore from recovery mode. It seemed the only way and it worked. New Pages, gone, old Pages, back. Thank you Time Machine!
    FYI: I am CERTAIN I did not push the button to upgrade Pages, but only to install the new Numbers (I did not previously own it). Maybe the new Numbers needs the new Pages or something and it triggers the Pages upgrade as well. In any case, beware the Numbers install routine if you want to hang on to Pages '09. Thanks.
