How do I set up the internet

I just bought this Pro used ( switching from a PC) I deleted files from the old user and the internet quit working.

Don't use the system installed on a machine that you bought second-hand...  you never know what's on there.  There could be malware, for all you know, or the previous owner may even have installed something purposefully to spy on you and try to steal personal information.  Or, more likely, it may just have a bunch of crap installed.
You need to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system.  Hopefully, the seller included the gray Mac OS X install disks that came with the machine, but most of the time they don't.  If they did, insert the system install disk, reboot and hold down 'c' until the Apple logo appears.  Once the installer starts up and you get to a screen with a menu bar, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  Use that to erase the hard drive.  Then quit Disk Utility, and proceed with the installation.
If the seller did not include the disks, you'll need to contact Apple for replacements.  They won't charge anything other than a small shipping and handling fee, but you'll need the serial number for the machine handy when you call.

    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.

    I thought there might be a enter button once you set the size you want. That is mainly what I am asking if you have to enter or set the choice we make.
    So you are wondering how to make the size change "permanent" for a channel? If so, no, there is no way. If you change the channel the screen size reverts to normal on the new channel, and if you go back to the one where you had set the size it is back to normal there also.

  • How does Imac connect to the internet?

    How does Imac connects to the internet?

    Through your ISP (internet service provider); once you set up an account with them, you can decide to connect via ethernet cable to their modem, or, if you have a router (which is connected to their modem, you can connect wirelessly.
    Is that what you were wondering about or did I misunderstand your question?

    how do i connect to the internet with my ipad?

    Did you turn WiFi on in the Settings App? If WiFi is turned on, your iPad should be able to see any WiFi networks that you can connect to and you should be able to tap on one of those, enter a password if needed and then tap the join button.
    I get the feeling that you know this and the problem needs further explanation so ... Can you explain in more detail?

  • After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

    Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

    Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

  • How do I set up the "Objects and Attachments"

    Hi .... I'm new at WorkFlow (and SAP for that matter) and have inherited a WF that is already built.  In several of the steps I can see "Objects and Attachments" on the work item screen where a User can click to be directed to a transaction. For example, on one screen the User can click on "Incoming Invoice: 5105601690" to be directed to the Invoice Display Screen that is populated with information for that particular invoice (5105601690).
    I am looking at the WF using TCode SWDD and cannot figure our how the original developer set this up.  So my question is ..... for a particular WF step, how do you set up the "Objects and Attachments: area so that the User will be directed to a particular transaction when he/she clicks on it.
    Thanks in advance, and sorry for such a "juvenile" question.
    Dan A

    Thanks for your reply Rajkumar,
    I am looking at the screen you have directed me to.  Business object is BUS2081 (actually it is ZMMWBS2081 which is a customized version BUS2081) Method is "Display" and Attribute is "InvoiceDocNumber".  How do I know by looking at this that "Display" means Display Invoice?  What if I wanted to display the PO instead?
    Thanks for the "spoon feeding".

  • I have two children each with an ipod which has FaceTime - I have the iphone 4s with FaceTime.  All of these devices are connected to itunes through the one account.  How do I set up the FaceTime on the two ipods so as it doesn't ring both of them?

    I have two children each with an ipod which has FaceTime - I have the iphone 4s with FaceTime.  All of these devices are connected to itunes through the one account.  How do I set up the FaceTime on the two ipods so as it doesn't ring both of them?

    I started to do that then it said that this will become their apple I.D or similar and then I thought that will disconnect them from the same iTunes?  I want them still on my iTunes as they are only young (8 and 10)?  Or have I got this all wrong and even if I do set them up with a different e-mail will they still be on my itunes?  For example if they want to purchase an App will it still go through my account even if they use their ipod?

  • How can I print while the internet is disconnect​ed?

    I have Pro 8600.
    How can I print while the internet is disconnected for some reason?
    My internet router is unstable recently.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Your printer has these:
     USB 2.0-compliant high speed
     USB 2.0 high-speed host port
     Wireless 802.11b/g/n*
     Wired 802.3 network (Ethernet)
    You can use USB or Ethernet connection to print. I always define USB as second printer and I can print direct.

    Hi Martin,
    MobileMe Mail Help: Setting up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email
    The steps you follow to set up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email depend on which version of Mac OS you’re using.
    Important: For the instruction below, use the following: MobileMe Mail’s incoming mail server is “mail.me.com” and the outgoing mail server it “smtp.me.com.”
    To set up Mac OS X Mail to receive MobileMe mail:
    If you’re using Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later
    Open System Preferences (under the Apple icon at the upper-left of your computer screen).
    Click MobileMe (if you have Mac OS X version 10.5.3 or later), or .Mac (if using version 10.4.11 to 10.5.2), and enter your MobileMe member name and password.
    Open Mac OS X Mail, choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
    Click the Add button at the lower-left of the Accounts pane. Choose MobileMe from the Account Type pop-up menu, and then enter your account information.
    The member name and password you use for SMTP authentication must match the member name and password in the User Name and Password fields.
    To switch to POP, delete the existing IMAP account before you create the new POP account. Choose POP Account from the Account Type pop-up menu instead of MobileMe Account.
