How do I remove server os and install normal os? The computer has never been used as a server. I only purchased the server version because of two internal hard drives.

If you want to just disable the Server aspect, this should work for both Lion and Mountain Lion...

If you want to completely start over, backup your /Users and /Applications directories and re-install the client OS.

When trying to load onto my sons ipod shuffle i keep getting the message 'the ipod update server could not be contacted'. The ipod has never been used and has been sitting in a drawer. It seem to charge but I cannot load any music for him.

Should say, I have tried altering the LAN setting to 'automatically detect settings', updating itunes etc but nothing has worked. I have a very unhappy 6 year old!

You should not get that message if you are simply trying to load the shuffle with songs from your iTunes library. If iTunes is trying to Update or Restore the shuffle, and you get that message, try the suggestions in this article

How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it. Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple. While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows). You will also not be able to install firmware updates. Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific. You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update. You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it. At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive.

How to manage two internal hard drives

I just got my new iMac 27" with two internal hard drives (256gb SSD and 1Tb). When I migrated from my old computer it moved everything to the SSD drive. Are there some instructions somewhere to manage this and move things to the proper drive and have the info show up in my PLACES section in finder?

When you get the 27"iMac with the SSD, OS X comes installed on the SSD; so the migration assistant would naturally move applications to the SSD, including the contents of your user folder.
If you want to copy or move files/folders to the 1TB SATA drive you can do this any time in the Finder. Just don't move the +/Applications, /Library, /System+ or /Users folders
Can't tell from your post what you want showing in Places, but you can put any folder in the Places section of the Finder - just drag the folder there and it will show up in Places. The items in Places are just references - you can add or delete them at any time; it doesn't affect the actual location of the folder(s).

How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced

How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced. Yes, I know, I know I should be backing up/syncing my phone . . . but that hasn't been yet. So, can I still find the deleted text message? If I sync for the first time will it also sync deleted messages?

Asking exactly the same question a second time will NOT get you a different answer.
You can not recover that which has been deleted and was never backed up.

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. What do I do?

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. So when I want to download apps I have to sign in with apple id but I can't so I made a new one, However I can't seem to be able to delete the old one. What do I do?

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

HT1379 The USB ports on my 30" Cinema are not working. The monitor has not been used for a year or so, and the computer is a Mac Book Pro, 1012 model running OS Mavericks. I need to move the computer between two locations, and the other monitor is a 27"

The USB ports on my 30" Cinema HD display appear to not work. The monitor has not been used for almost a year, when I upgraded to a new Mac Book Pro and the 27" retina display. Now I need to move the computer back and forth between two locations using the two displays. The need for operating USB ports is essential. Any ideas. The display appears entirely normal. Am running OS X 10.9.

Disregard, problem solved.

HT204266 I have a balance on my iTunes gift card but when I try to redeem it, the message says the code has already been used and won't let me go on

I have a balance on my gift card but can't redeem it. When I enter the requested code the message says it has already been used. How do I redeem the amount left on my card?

Hi Rosemarie316,
If you are having issues redeeming your gift card, the following article will help:
iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes
If you're still unable to redeem your code after verifying the characters in the code, you'll need to contact iTunes Store Support for help. You'll need to provide a digital image of the front and back of the gift card as well as the sales receipt for the purchase of the gift card.
Contacting iTunes Store Support
Go to the iTunes support page and select your iTunes country.
From the iTunes support page, choose Contact Support on the lower-left side of the page.
Follow the instructions to get iTunes Store support assistance.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

How Do I Remove Flash 11 and install previous version?

Hi Everyone,
While Flash Player 11 seems to work for me with most things (e.g. YouTube, most news and video sites, etc), I find that it is crashing all the time when playing browser based games that use flash.
I was over on Yahoo's website http://games.yahoo.com/free-games/ and found that it kept crashing on this page or crashing when trying to load any of the games listed on that page.
Given these problems (and judging by the numerous posts on this forum... it looks like there are many issues with version 11), how can I uninstall Adobe Flash 11 and restore it back to version 10, x, x, x ??
(Note: I am using x's just because I don't remember exactly what the previous version of Flash was)
