How do I find out which model I have?

Please forgive my ignorance. I am here to learn.
My motherboard has P6NGM stamped in it but to get support, I need to know which letters follow those -- and I don't know how to find that information.
The bigger problem -- and the one I need to solve -- is that a trojan has found its way into my BIOS. I put the infected HD off line and I tried to install a brand new HD, but I got a warning that there was a virus and did I want to continue the process. Well, no. I don't need another infected hard drive.
I think that if I remove the CMOS battery for a few hours it the chip will reset to factory default and the trojan will go away, but then I will need to flash the BIOS. That is where knowing which version of the motherboard comes in. I can't download the right BIOS if I don't know what model of motherboard I have.
Please help! This problem is driving me crazy.

The notice appeared onscreen. I decided I'd start over with a new, clean drive and when I went to partition and format it, a notice appeared onscreen telling me I had a virus and asking me if I wanted to continue. It was the strangest thing, sine no functional hard drive was attached at that time.
When you partition/format a hard drive, the boot sector of that hard drive is rewritten. In BIOS-Setup, under "Advanced BIOS Features" there is in option called "Boot Sector Protection", which (when enabled) will put out a potential virus warning when there is write access to the hard drives's boot sector. This option was enabled when you initially formated your drive and it was disabled when you did this:

I unplugged the computer, took the battery out and left it out overnight to reset the CMOS. Then I put it back together, and entered date, time, etc.
You never had a virus problem.

HT1420 How do I find out which 5 computers have been authorized?

How do I find out which 5 ccomputers are authorised so I can deauthorise one?

1. Open itunes store and scroll to the bottom.
2. You will see Manage under this please click Account. This will now pop up a box asking you to sign in again.
3. Then under itunes in the Cloud the first thing you see is manage devices.
4. Click manage devices and it will show you everything you have got and it gives you the option to remove and then click done, once done.

How do I find out which computers I have activated on iTunes?

I am trying to activtate my laptop on iTunes and it keeps telling me that I already have 5 computers activated. I checked my old laptop and it says it is not activated.
So, how do I find out which computers are activated? How do I take the old ones off the activation list if I no longer own them? I no longer have the HP Vectra computer listed below.

You cannot identify them. However you can deauthorise them all and then reauthorise the ones you need.
To Deauthorise all
go to Itunes Store Select Account from the Quik links section
Use the Deauthorise all button
To reauthorise a machine
Store > Authorise this computer.. in the Top Menu (You may need Ctrl B to see it in windows)

How do I find out which model Satellite P105 I have?

As it says above I have a P105, but I am unsure exactly which model I have.
Does anyone know how/where I can find this information?

Hi
Take a look at the bottom of the unit.
There should be a label providing some numbers like serial number, model number, etc
If you have got a Satellite P105-xxxx then I would assume its a Toshiba US series notebook and all details should be found here:

How can I find out which apps I have in the cloud

I bought a new 5s and have been downloading apps I had previously on my 4s. When I search for apps I already had, there is a cloud icon when the "buy" icon usually is, and I am able to download them with ease. However, I know there are many more apps I that I had whose names escape me. How can I see a list of which apps are available in the cloud so I can pick and choose which ones I want to download again, rather than racking my brain trying to remember all of the apps I previously had?

Hello sundayss,
The following article provides steps for downloading your past purchases from, not only the App Store, but also the iTunes Store.

PSE 9 Updates - How do I find out which ones I have and which ones I need to download?

I'm accustomed to being notified of updates automatically, which means I forget to check for the ones that don't send notifications (PSE 9). I looked through the list of updates, but don't know where to start because I don't know which ones have already been installed. They appear to be separate patches so I'm assuming (incorrectly perhaps) that downloading the most recent one won't include the previous patches. I'm not a technically savvy person so I don't like to jump into these things without some idea of where I am or should be going. I have a "Murphy's Law" problem - anything that can go wrong usually does in my experience.

If you download the most recent ones, it doesn't matter if you've missed any previous ones.

You have a 3G. It wasn't a good idea to post your serial number for millions of people to see; I'll as the mods to remove it. For the future, you can lear about your phone by entering the serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

They sometimes have that information on the label. Otherwise, it's trial and error. The model you have is a Late 2009 13" MacBook. It came with a special version of 10.6.1 pre-installed.

You could try ringing apple and seeing if they will give you a model number for the battery and then find one on google. Or you may even be able to order one from apple themselves.
They have support numbers for all over the world, in case you don't have the number you need, this is the support number website with all the numbers all over the world:

This is a tedious solution, which is stupid! And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization. I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

Agile,
Any of the above will work, depending how you would like to set it up.
Given that kids tend to eventually grow up and be independent, the best long term answer for most people is to let her have her own account and her own library as soon as she can handle it. Keep in mind that content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, so separating later is a challenge.
If you want to sync multiple devices to the same library, that will work. Or if you want separate libraries (as I would recommend), they can be either on separate computers or on separate Windows user accounts on the same PC.
For the name change: Connect the device. When the name appears in the left sidebar of iTunes, highlight it and change it.

How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to when synchronising with outlook

I´ve switched to iphone 4S from my 3Gs and would like to "clean" my itunes Sync before I use the new phone. Problem is, that the synchronisation with Outlook 2003 doesn´t work anymore. I guess the reason is that itunes refers to an old .ost or .pst file on my computer. I ve got several outlook profiles and changed from exchange to pop3. My question: How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to?
Thanks a lot in advance :-)

Select the tune and then - Get Info - in the dialog box is a note of the Apple ID used to purchase.
