How do i know if i had a successfull reinstallation of Mac OS?

The installation and set up maual for Tiger version mentioned that my system will restart after installation for setup. But it didn't restart after reinstallation. It shown the message- successfully installed, then click the close button, then dvd was removed automatically, and without restarting it directly goes to setup menu. I don't knwo why it had happened. Shall i reinstall the whole systems software again? And, can i chose the option erase and install for reinstallation?
One more fact, the first DVD is been checked by the installer, but the second one is not checked by the installer- never and always skipped by the installer. The second DVD is alwaysing showing error message during installing the garrage-band- instruments. I can't install garrage-band an anymore.
What to do? Any insights would appreciate. Thanks for reading.

Thanks.

  • HT1529 How do I know if I have antivirus software on this Mac, I am knew to Mac so I don't know a thing about it.

    How do I know if my mac has antivirus software and if not why did they not tell me that when I bought it?

    Apple products do NOT come with Anti-Virus software installed.  There has not yet ever been an OS X Virus.  But, if you would feel safer using A-V software, then I would suggest you download and install the excellent quality and FREE A-V product found here (and, yes, I myself use it):

  • HT4543 How do you know if the fan is working on the mac book pro

    How can you tell if your fan is working on your mac book pro?  I cannot hear mine running and can't feel any air coming out. A couple of weeks ago, my battery literally exploded out of the case,  Is this an item that can be self serviced or does it require a trip to the Apple repair store?

    Macbook pro fan usually has really LOW noise, and it is not really strong, so you might not feel the air.
    Fans are used to cool the CPU and GPU, not batteries.
    But if you need to replace fans or batteries, take it to the store. Make reservations to save time.

  • How do I know if I had gotten hacked?

    I got home and discovered that my OS X 10.2.8 servers (webserver and fileserver) powered OFF. I had left them on when I left the house.
    These servers are behind multiple firewalls: a Netgear router that lets inbound only on ports 22 and 80 and forwards them to the webserver. The fileserver is behind another Windows XP firewall.
    I analyzed the logs on the webserver and found multiple entries of attempted root logins, none successful:
    May 27 15:20:04 sweetpea sshd[8670]: Did not receive identification string from 61.235.150.102
    May 27 15:23:10 sweetpea sshd[8671]: Could not reverse map address 61.235.150.102.
    May 27 15:23:11 sweetpea sshd[8671]: Failed password for root from 61.235.150.102 port 1540 ssh2
    However, the log abruptly ends at about 15:25, which is when I assume the machine went down. The log ends with no error messages or any sort, until I restarted it the next day when I got back:
    May 27 15:25:36 sweetpea sshd[8737]: Could not reverse map address 61.235.150.10$
    May 27 15:25:36 sweetpea sshd[8737]: Failed password for root from 61.235.150.10$

    May 28 11:40:02 sweetpea mach_kernel: vmpagebootstrap: 124828 free pages
    The fileserver logs show no such access; they show normal operation and then the log abruptly ends.
    Questions:
    1. Does anyone know if it is possible for an attacker to shut down OS X 10.2.8 boxes remotely without gaining root access? (It appears that they did not gain root access.)
    2. Do people think the attackers actually gained root access, and erased their tracks (and if they did, why did they leave the attempted logins in the file? Seems rather odd.)
    3. Are there other places where I can check to see if the computers were compromised and try to piece together what happened?
    Thanks for any help!

    My Mini which was plugged into the same outlet did not go down. The webserver was shut down earlier than the fileserver (according to the logs), so I thought hacker activity was more likely. It has me very puzzled, however. The fileserver went down at 5:26 PM.

    I suppose a possibility is that the hacking ceased at 3:25PM, and there was no log item between then and 5:26PM on the webserver, and they both went down in the same power surge.

  • How can i know if i had my find my phone setting on?

    mi ipod was stolen, i had an ipod touch 5 with thte latest update. i cant rememeber if i had the find my phone setting on... is there something i can do? how can i erase evreything form my ipod..

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • How can I know if I have Snow Leopard on my mac?

    How can I find out if I have Snow Leopard on my mac?

    Click on the black apple in the upper left hand corner of your screen
    Drag the cursor down to 'About this Mac' and click it
    That should bring up a pane that has information about your Mac
    If under Mac OS X, you see version 10.6.x, where x = 0 through 8, then you are running Snow Leopard
    Why do you need to know?

  • How can I know if the software that came with my mac is valid or pirated?

    I recently purchased a MBP that came with numerous amount of really expensive software like Adobe Masterclass Collection,Logic 9, Key Note, Pages, Numbers, Final Cut Pro and many more. How can I find out if this software collection that came on the mac are valid or pirated. Is there a app that can scan my mac for serials or to verify the apps? If infact they are legit purchased, how can I put them on my other mac? or is it even possible. For example, Final Cut Pro and logic are from Apple. Could they Verify them?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Unfortunately, there's not a way to check if they are original or pirated. Also, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, Final Cut Pro (if it's Final Cut Pro X) and Logic Pro, if they were purchased in the App Store, don't need a product key. My advice is to delete all those applications, and purchase again the applications you need with your Apple ID in the App Store, if they are available there.
    That's because you will have problems to update them (as they are registered to the old owner's Apple ID) and you can't use them legally if you haven't purchased the applications

  • How do I know if have Mountain Lion Installed on my Mac

    Do i have it if not how do i install it? And how do i find game center? Ive checked on my applications folder but it isn't there…thanks.

    1. No.
    2. You either buy a download code for Mountain Lion from the online Apple Store or get Yosemite from the Mac App Store.
    3. Game Center isn’t part of 10.7.5.

  • Lost my phone today, is there a locator on it? If yes or no, how would i know?, Lost my phone today, is there a locator on it? If yes or no, how would i know?

    How would I know if i had a tracker or locator on my phone if i had one? Do all iphones have one?

    If you enabled "Find My iPhone" on the device prior to it being lost, you may be able to track it.  This assumes the device is powered on, has a network connection (Wi-Fi or Cellular data), and has not been restored as new by whomever found it.
    If you did not enable the feature, the only way to locate the device is to physically start looking for it.

  • ICloud I do not want to share some documents in the cloud.  I f I turn off iCloud it says I will delete everything already there. How do I know what is already in the cloud

    iCloud I do not want to share some documents in the cloud.  I f I turn off iCloud it says I will delete everything already there. How do I know what is already in the cloud

    Thank you.  When I go into system preferences, then iCloud, then manage, it does not let me view what is there only says:  ex: The documents stored inside Pages take up 623.3KB and gives me the option to: Delete Documents and Data.  It does not let me see what files are there.   I think it is time for me to go back to my apple store and get more acquainted with iCloud and storage and how to manage it.  I had some issues with my mac about a month ago after downloading an updated version.  The issue was related to syncing, iCloud, iTunes, calendar and storage.  I am nervous about loosing more documents, photos, etc..from my Mac.  Thank you for the information.  

  • How can i hnow the applet had load complet by javascript?

    hi,how can i hnow the applet had load complet by javascript?
    my applet load by <object> tag,
    i add a "onload" event listener to the html page's <body> tag,but the event listener is call by the page load,
    but ,the applet sometime has not loaded complet,so how can i know the applet had loaded complet!
    the <OBJECT>has some method to check the applet load status??
    3KS!

    You can have your applet call some javascript to inform that it is loaded. Make the call from your
    applet's start method
    Suppose you have a javascript function called "appletReady()"
    which sets a ready variable to true or whatever.
    Now in your start method of your applet you can do the following:
           JSObject win = null;
            try
                win = (JSObject)JSObject.getWindow((Applet)this);
                if (win == null)
                    System.err.println("JSObject window was null");
                else
                        win.call("appletReady",null);
            catch (Exception jse)
                System.err.println("Exception: " + jse);
            }Make sure you import netscape.javascript.
    And when you compile use the appropriate jaws.jar in your classpath
    It should be found under jre/lib of your JDK installation.
    I hope this helps.

  • HT204053 how do i know if i have my pics and contacts on my icloud?

    my phone is messed up and i have to get a new iphone but they guy from the at&t store said if i didnt have my pics and contacts saved to my icloud i would be losing everything ok my question is how do i know if i had my icloud on? i dont remember can anyone help me

    Contacts are saved in the contacts database on icloud.  If you use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com, look at the contacts page.  They should be there.  On the new iphone, in Settings>iCloud, if you sign into your account and turn on contacts, they should be synce to the device.
    pics are not kept on icloud, they should always be synced to a computer for storage and safekeeping.  You sync them either by using USB cable or using photo stream.  If you have backup turned on for icloud, then photos in the camera roll "should" be included (if you turned that on for backups), but many users have found that upon performing a restore, the pictures were not synced back.

    Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.

  • A relative synced my iphone with his laptop without me knowing. It had a passcode on the phone but the sync still worked. I have since found out he is quite IT knowledgeable and has been known to track other peoples phones.  How is this data useful to him

    A relative synced my iphone with his laptop without me knowing. It had a passcode on the phone but the sync still worked. I have since found out he is quite IT knowledgeable and has been known to track other peoples phones that he wants to know information about.  How is my data useful to him and can he restore this data on another iPhone and run it parallel to mine? I have had people send me messages which I have not received. These have been screen shot to me later including time and I have just not got them. I had 4 weeks worth of messages go missing from my phone..I know that he synced my phone because his work laptops I'd came up in my settings. Also if the above can be done can he change the settings on my actual phone and access my location without placing tracking software on my phone.  Can someone please help here as I can't restore a backup to my phone for obvious reasons and refuse to change my number because of this loser.

    Connect the device to the computer.
    In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.
