How do you de-authorization a DEAD Mac

I found the procedure on how to de-authorize a Macintosh.  However the procedure described on Apple's website assumes the computer still works.
My G5 Mac has gone to Macintosh heaven.  I have purchased a new Mac Pro (need 2 DVD drives) that will put me over the limit.
Thanks.

Niel,
That's a wacky procedure beyond my comprehension!
Out of respect for your level X status, I am hesitant to ask “are you sure?"   I can't simply go into my iTunes account and delete just my ONE Macintosh?
In reading about this I see can only do this ONCE every 12 months!  Even a well-made computer like a Macintosh can die unexpectedly.

    I was attemting to open my old photo files, in order to select and copy only the photo albums and photoes I want to keep and....
    However, I have encounntered a problem....when I try to open my old "IIPhoto Library" in my old "pictures" folder, I receive the follwoing message:
    The Photo Library Needs to be Upgraded to Work With This Version of IPhoto.  Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of IPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries can take an hour or more to complete.

    If you have iOS 5 on the iPad and enabled iCloud in Pages, you can go on your Mac and go to http://icloud.com, then click iWork, then click the gear icon and upload the document. It should appear on your iPad.

      As said above, you can click down, ons use the other finger to drag the object.  I had turned on the setting to use three-finger drag, so you can drag objects with three fingers.  To change gesture settings, go to the system preferences>trackpad.  Here you can also see all of the gestures of Mac OS X.

  • How do you reassign a device to Mac OS once it has been assigned to the Windows OS using Parallels?

    How do you reassign a device to Mac OS once it has been assigned to the Windows OS using Parallels?  I've tried ejecting device and plugging in again.  I've tried restarting Mac and shutting down Mac completely, but never get the device window to pop up to select the Mac for the device.

    Used to highlight just the portion of an article that I wanted to print and press print selection only.  How do you do that with a MAC?

    Depends to some extent what application you're printing from, and what printer you're using, but here's the dialogue box for ⌘P in Firefox -
    Note the option to print selection only.
    Haven't looked before, but I can't find anything similar in Pages print options.
    It does appear in Word though.

  • How do you update computer software to mac os x 10.8

    how do you updaye comp software to mac os x 10.8? i have 10.5.8

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • How do you get idvd on your mac?

    How can you get Idvd on your mac? ive made a movie using imovie but i do not have idvd on my computer.

    Apple no longer distributes iDVD.
    1a) Buy an old iLife from a place such as e-bay or Amazon (https://discussions.apple.com/message/18750180 or http://www.megamacs.com/index.php?action=frameview&id=404733009&D=1).  Make sure it is a version that has iDVD.  Do not buy it from Apple since their version no longer has iDVD.
    1b) Depending upon which computers and discs you have you may be able to do a custom installation of the software using old system installer discs that had iLife bundled.
    2) Try a third party application (none have the features of iDVD though).
    Burn (free) - http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html - includes basic DVD authoring but you will definitely have to read the documentation.
    Easily Burn Movies to a DVD without Apple's iDVD. - http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/easily_burn_movies_to_a_dvd_without_apples_idvd. html - directions for using Burn to make a TV DVD.  Note, Burn also has a separate application which lets you do more fancy menus.
