How do you know if snow is already on your computer?

I just got my first mac today. I bought it from the best buy store in my area and they had to order it b/c it was not in stock, the model I wanted. I asked the gentleman if I would receive a disk since apple was giving every new mac user the free upgrade to snow and he said mine would already have snow installed. Much to my surprise when I opened the box there was a copy of snow leopard setting right at the top of the box. So how do I know?

10.5.6 is Leopard. You will need to use the Snow Leopard DVD to install Snow Leopard. I would use my system for a while before installing Snow Leopard. You need more experience before doing installing Snow. And, when you are ready, come back here and ask for advice about installing Snow Leopard. There a great deal more to consider than what might mentioned in anything that came in your box.
I would not update anything yet. Use your system for a while first. Post back when you are ready to update.

  • How do you know when items will fall off your credit reports?

    Can anyone tell me how you know what date items will fall off your credit report? Thanks

    Each individual type of adverse information has its own exclusion date.  They are all set forth in FCRA 605(a). DOFD applies only to a collection or charge-off, which have an exclusion date of no later than 7 years plus 180 days from the DOFD.Monthly account delinquencies are excluded no later than 7 years from their individual dates of occurence.BKs are exluded at 7 or 10 years, depending upon their type.Tax liens become excluded no later than 7 years from date paid.Judgments become excluded on the later of 7 years from date entered, or until the expiration of the statute of limitations on enforceability of the judgment. The credit report exclusion periods are imposed on the CRAs, and set forth the date after which they can no longer include that adverse item in credit reportes they issue.The CRAs are thus required to monitor the relevant date for each type of adverse item.  The consumer should no have to request exclusion or remind the CRA of the exclusion date, but it is possible that they could miss a date, so the consumer should monitor.

  • How do you delete things on an ipod from your computer?

    I forgot my ipod passcode and I need to find a way to delete everything off of my computer.

    As I said in my first reply you may not be able to make a backup and you may have to place the iPod in recovery mode. Do the following:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • How do you know if someone who has stolen your ipod has restored it

    I recently left my iPod at work, and my manager who found it looked after it and kept it in the office. When I asked another manager the next day where my iPod was she couldn't find it in the office. After a week of waiting both the original Manager who found my iPod didn't know where it was and they said it was misplaced somewhere in the office.
    Today (over a month since I lost it) they said that someone could've possibly stolen it because they couldn't find it in the office.
    For the first week or so my friends have tried iMessaging me and the messages haven't delivered, which was normal. It was as if I still had my iPod but not in wifi range.
    Over a month later, I asked them to iMessage me again and see what it says and they were then prompted that it says "Message Delivery Failed"
    Does this mean someone has restored my iPod? Or is this normal when an iPod hasn't been charged and used for over a month?

    If you have already configured the iCloud Find My iPhone service on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac you can use it to locate your missing device, display a message on its screen, make it play a sound at full volume (even if on mute), remotely lock it, or remotely wipe (erase) it to protect your privacy. Requries iOS 6 to be trackable.
    You can use the Find My iPhone app on a different iOS device (running iOS 5 or better)
    You can use the Find My iPhone app on icloud.com
    You device may NOT be tracked if:
    Offline or Disconnectd
    Location Service Turned Off
    Restored by person who stolen it.
    Battery Dead
    Running below iOS 6 (ei. iOS 5.1.1)
    Change passwords used on that iDevice. Report to the police.

  • How do you know what frame size to make your movie?

    Hello everyone,
    I know this is probably an easy question, but I just need someone to sum it up for me
    If I'm going to compress my movie (Shot in 4:3, 720x480) and I want to put it on someone else website... which I don't know there frame size... like youtube, can I just submit any size and their website will fit it for me?
    Does that make sense?
    Like I know youtube says you can submit a file size of up to 1 gb, but what frame size should it be? Or do I just make the best looking movie I can from compressor and then just submit?
    Thanks...

    Most sites such as YouTube will resize it for you, yes. For specific YouTube encoding, this may be of assistance:

  • How can you tell if someone is secretly monitoring your computer?

    Hi, I get the feeling someone is monitoting my computer remotely. It acts strange at times and constantly gets hot and information seems to be changed ot moved around when I sign back on. Also, when I look at system logs and such it's always saying weird things like stelth connection attempted and there are some things I can look up with my friends computer, that will not show up on mine and I mean things on the internet like Google and such.  I'm 45 yrs old so I know that no parental blocks are on it.. But I feel like someone else or possibly my own (other half) maybe watching what I am doing online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    They probably are.
    In reality of course, there is no such thing as total internet privacy: US and British intelligence agencies have successfully cracked much of the online encryption relied upon by hundreds of millions of people to protect the privacy of their personal data, online transactions and emails:

  • How do you know what week your macbook was made?

    I am very concerned about the discoloration on my new macbook and I have heard that if it was made before a certain week that apple will not fix the problem, so I would like to know what week my macbook was made.

    Quick question, how do you know if you have the "new batch" (the units that solve the discoloration and heat problems)?
    They had to customize mine because they didn't have any already "configured-to-order" in stock. I should get it in 5-6 business days. Does that mean mine is coming off the new batch?
