How do I clear and save my old imac ?

Hello
I'm sure this has been asked 1000 times, so thank you for answering again and pointing me in the right direction.
I recently bought a new iMac and sold my old one on Ebay.  My old iMac is Snow Leopard and new one will be the most up to date.
WITHOUT having my new iMac, can someone please give me step by step on how to save:
Itunes music (even the non purchased ones)
Apps (Like Word)
My external hard drive is full, so I know the music can't be stored there.
ONCE that is done, how do I completely clean out my old iMac.  I don't have the operating system CD anymore, so I can't reinstall it that way if need be.  But I need to make sure it's a factory reset without the chance of restoring , including my iTunes ID.
Thank you in advanced and ya'll know how I will be spending my weekend.
Thanks!

1. Copy them all to a second external drive.
2. Click here and follow the instructions. When you reach step 5, phone Apple and order replacement disks or buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store(this won’t work on computers which shipped with 10.6.3 through 10.6.8), insert the disk you got, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

  • How do I find and save the background music file of my Flash site?

    I see that the background music in my Flash site is located in a symbol called muz.  When I click the properties of this symbol, the sound file's location is listed as .\flash\sound\muz.wav  I couldn't find that sound sub-folder in the flash folder nor could I find the file.  I tried doing a search to look for the muz.wav file in my computer but it could not be found.  Does anyone know how I can find and save this file?  Can the symbol somehow be exported and the sound file be extracted that way?

    I copied and pasted the symbol into an empty .fla file.  This new .fla file is just 1 frame.  Can you tell me what you mean by "spreading" it along the timeline?  When I tried exporting it to a .wav file (as just 1 frame in timeline), I only hear a fraction of a fraction of the first note of the music in the generated .wav file.  The music is heard fine in its entirety when previewing the .fla file (F12).
    By the way, in the symbol's properties, there is an option to "Export for ActionScript" and an option to "Export for runtime sharing".  Do you think any of these would work?

  • How can I edit and save parts of songs (like a chorus).

    How can I edit and save parts of songs (like a chorus).

    The iTunes-only way is:  figure out where you want your excerpt to begin and end.  Right-click the track, Get Info, Options tab, set the Start/Stop times accordingly, and OK out.  Right-click again, and choose Create XXX version (where XXX is the format indicated in your Import settings).  Right-click one more time, and unset the Start/Stop times.
    This procedure will leave the full track in place, and will create a new file and library entry with just your excerpt.

  • I deleted all the music on my iPhone, but all the albums still exist. How do I clear and add a fresh batch of music?

    I deleted all the music on my iPhone, but all the album artwork still exist. How do I clear and add a fresh batch of music?  Also my iTunes no longer recognizes my iPhone under the "devices" tab so I am unable to manually sync. I have disconnected it makes a beep sound when reconnected so I know my computer is finding the phone, the iPhone also appears on Explorer. Stupid question but I can't figure it out and wasting too much time.  Thank you.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, big mistake, then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get any other music off of the iphone ( not supported by Apple).
    When you sync the iphone, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer.
    "Not happy with itunes right now, more then a bit of a joke"
    Not itunes fault that you did not do the very basics and maintain a backup copy.

  • How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?

    How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?
    I need to save all files from web and store onto a drive to reupload to a new domain name.  I use Dreamweaver CS3.

    First define your Local Site folder in Dreamweaver.  DW will use this folder to store your site files.
    Go to Manage Sites > New or Edit site.  See screenshots.
    Servers:  Enter your remote server's log-in details.  When complete, hit TEST to see if the connection is working.  If all is well, hit SAVE.
    From the Files Panel (F8), click on Remote Server to show the files that are currently there.  Click the green Down Arrow to GET files from remote server to your local site folder.

  • How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?

    Hi can someone help me with this question?
    How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?
    Cheers!
    VJ

    It's really too bad we can't see VJ's face when the concept sinks in. This is one of my favorite moments when teaching APEX classes. Most people love it, some people don't. If nothing else it really proves the power and performance of the Oracle database. Each page view can generate 40+ queries, yet on the average system this takes less than .04 seconds.
    Keep in mind there are no undocumented features or "Oracle Internals" that the APEX team uses to achieve this performance, just sound database design. With every feature they add they evaluate how it will be used and design the tables and indexes to most efficiently answer the query. Sometimes this means going against "purist" normalized principals.

    Its easy to take an iPad screenshot. Press & release the Home and the Power buttons quickly at the same time. I have trouble with that so I press & hold the Home button and then very quickly press and release the Power button. Your screenshot is stored in the Camera Roll of the Photos app. Probably the easiest way to get it to your PC is to be using iCloud, or email it to your PC. There are also some wireless sync apps in the iTunes app store that let you send photos from the iPad to a Mac or PC. I use PhotoSync.
