HOW DO YOU ERASE YOUR COMPUTER COMPLETELY

hi,
im wondering if anyone has answers to erase my computer completely. I am currently using Mac OSX Panther and want to erase everything in order to install the updated Tiger.

There is no need to erase the hard drive just to install Tiger.
However, if that is what you want to do... First back up all of your important files. Then boot off the Tiger disc, start the installer, and select the option to 'erase and install'.

    How do you erase your history on the search field ( the first page you swipe to, on the left)?

    Ah, I understand now. You don't want to erase the search history. You want to prevent search from accessing old data. The only way to do that is to restore the phone as new.

  • How do you authorize your computer with the new itunes version?

    Just got a MacBook Pro. I have songs that were previously purchased on my iphone that I could not download because it said my computer was not authorized. Looked at my authorizations and it said 3 computers were authorized but not this one. I deauthorized all of them and now I do not know how to authorize this computer. All of the support is outdated because itunes has a new version and there are no menus for store or advanced settings.

    Open iTunes...  
    If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar " 
    and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • How do you erase your posting history along with your account?

    I'm tired of wondering who might be researching me online,
    considering I've asked dumb questions in many forums here.. it sure
    does not do wonders for my image if I'm trying to get a job.
    Thank you for any advice.

    >But by "stupid", I meant "inexperienced sounding", which can reflect on one's image in a negative way, if one is not careful. It's hard enough already in the job market with all this technology, and some of it getting tossed around as though it meant everything about being a designer.. it doesn't mean everything.
    I agree that it doesn't mean everything, and I still don't see how this would be a factor. If a potential employer is going to take the time to read through your posts on the forum, which I actually doubt, he/she would also have to take into account the date of the posts and other factors. Everyone starts out inexperienced. It's experience that makes you experienced, and so the fact that you are working and asking questions shows that you are actively gaining experience.
    If I were hiring someone, the very fact that you know where to turn to get help and that you are able to use that help to gain experience is a huge plus, not a negative. Most of my coworkers have been using ID as long as I, but have no clue how to use it to its full power because they don't take the time to ask questions and learn about the new features that would make their jobs easier. I am valued in my job, not only because I have the experience to do my job but because I regularly look for new and better ways to do what I'm doing (and that includes asking "inexperienced" questions on this forum).

  • How do you reset your computer's password?

    For the past 8 months or so my friend has never done any of the apple updates on his Macbook.
    Why? Because he has *forgotten his password* – the one you need to install any applications onto the computer.
    At first it didn’t bother him but now it’s been going on for so long he has missed out on all the updates for iTunes, QuickTime and just general maintenance of the laptop.
    _How do you reset the password?_
    He is running on Mac OS X version 10.4 “Tiger”

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.
