hi Ron - Welcome to Apple Discussions!
the only way i know how to do this is via a virtualization environment, the most solid & popular of these AFAIK being Parallels.

all linux distros are in play that way.... cheers

How do you clean install CS6 on a new PC Win7 64bit system?

How do you clean install CS6 on a new PC Win7 64bit system?
I think I've upgraded all th way from Version 7.

There is no problem. If no previous, activated software is detected on the system, the upgrade installer will simply revert to its secondary mode and request to input the old serial in a second step for verification. Unless you do some exotic crossgrade/ sidegrade stuff, this should work with no problems whatsoever.

How do you re-install OSX on MBA?

So, just out of curiosity
Does the MBA come with any installation DVDs?
How do you re-install them if you need to do so?
Is there a possibility to restore the OS to
its original factory settings?
Regards

Hi,
as every Mac it comes with installer DVDs and you can install these either
a) via the optional superdrive
b) via remote install / disk sharing
If you take a backup directly after installation via SuperDuper, Carbon copy Cloner or TimeMachine you can restore that state easily.
Cheers,

How do you setup GNU/Linux on an iMac G4 with Panther OS X 10.3.9 ?...

How do you setup GNU/Linux on an iMac apple computer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G4
with Panther OS X 10.3.9
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSX10.3 ?...

There is a Ubuntu 10.4 version for Mac with PPC architecture; not sure
how that would work in the computer you may consider running it in.
Some leads on that kind of discussion can be found by using a Google
search, and the words: *ubuntu for PPC G4 Mac* + read through results.
Or choose to search using these terms: *Open Source Linux PPC G4 Mac*
A few results point back to Apple Discussions, where there were inquiries.
Note the version of a Linux-type of OS, compatible with Mac PPC hardware,
on the following page-link: *• Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx)*
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.04/release/
{You would have to put the image, as downloaded from such a site, on a CD
for use as an Installer; then follow any instructions as available to install it.}
An old page (from 2007?) with some details, some not up-to-date,
may be of help to a limited degree, from here: Ubuntu PPC wiki
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Is%20Ubuntu%20supported%20on%20PowerPC?
Or: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
See their home page to look for other information on the site: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/
These wiki groups are like communities, with rules & other such considerations; you
may be able to also find +Open Source+ sites with information and builds of suitable
Linux versions capable of running well in an older PPC Mac. There are newer ones
that would have no problem on a newer Intel-based Mac, of course.
• Mac Linux Links: (perhaps too dated)
http://lowendmac.com/linux/index.shtml
• Comparison of Linux distributions:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_Linuxdistributions
Hardware support in the older PPC G4 Mac computer should be considered, in order
to have the better experience possible with the Linux-based OS; and some specs in
an old Mac may not be ideal. The graphics processor unit and amount of dedicated
RAM for the graphics alone, could make a difference; depending on what you had in
mind when running a Linux-based OS in a PPC Mac. So consider hardware specs.
Some hardware in the computer may or may not be supported by the Software; and
then, there may be some problems implementing a Linux OS version in your Mac.
If you had an old Mac Mini (PPC or early Intel) & considered running Linux, there's
a page of general ideas worth a peek: http://sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/
You may not have enough room on the existing internal hard disk drive inside the
iMac G4, for a complete OS X 10.3.9 or Later OS X, and a partition for Linux in it.
And, you may find through reading further, if you need to (or don't) start fresh and
have a partition for each different OS, or not. For organizational purposes and ease
of removing one system or the other, a partitioned hard disk drive may be best.
There probably is a way to have Linux on an external bootable hard disk drive; &
that would have to be compatible with the Mac hardware requirements to be seen
and used by the computer, and also the ability to restart from Linux into Mac OS X
would have to exist in the system software. Hopefully without incident.
You will have some degree of a learning curve in this matter, from reading up on
the details of any viable Linux versions, through the ones likely to work in your
old PPC G4 Mac, and then if there are more than two or three good ones, of those
what one would be most likely to be worth the additional effort to attempt to use in it.
Depending on the version and specifications of your iMac G4 computer, there could
be different versions of linux systems capable of running it. However, some items
may not be supported which you would need to have working, such as wi-fi internet
and sleep mode, etc; among others. Searching the net does bring up more info.
{You may find, that going to OS X 10.4.11 would be more worth the effort, in that
most everything would 'just work' and you can still find many good software bits
and some fine freeware or low cost shareware to run on it. Linux versions vary
so much on what they can and cannot do, I would not recommend running it.}
Since I am not an expert in the matter, hopefully someone with a experimental time
and results in a similar vintage Mac as yours will reply and give you insightful info.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do you xfer info from ipad2 to iMac? Is there a specific icon in iTunes for this?

How do you xfer info from ipad2 to imac? Is there an icon on itunes to do this?

What info do you want to transfer and from which app(s) ? If it's contents/files of apps then for some it'll be via the File Sharing section at the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, other apps may have wifi functionality so you can transfer files to/from your computer via your wifi network.

HT3737 how do you cut and paste on an iMac

how do you cut and paste on an imac

If you're talking about cut and paste as you would do with files and folder on a Windows box you do it in a round about way.
Either Copy ⌘C, (Yes copy not cut), and then move, ⌘⌥V (a variation on paste ⌘V).
If you're a mouser.
Right click the File and choose Copy from.....
The right click the folder you want to move it to but hold down the option key and Paste item.....
...will change to Move item here.

How do you adjust the bass in the iMac 27" (late 2012) ?

How do you adjust the bass in the iMac 27" (late 2012)?
I am watching Youtube and the bass is very distrubing. Isn't there a way to adjust this on an iMac OSX?

AFAIK, you can't with the internal speakers. Contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane, and see what they say.

If unboxed how could you tell the difference between refurbished imac and new imac?

If unboxed how could you tell the difference between refurbished imac and new imac?

Besides all of that, you can purchase Apple Care which will extend your warranty to 3 years just like you can on a brand new iMac.
If you're considering a "refurbished" iMac, buy it ONLY from Apple. I believe it's your best bet.

How is additional memory installed on a current iMac 27" computer?

How is additional memory installed on a current iMac 27" that comes with the factory installed 4GB?

That's correct. Save money by shopping for memory. Check OWC and DataMem. The brand is really not very important. Buy from a reliable vendor and always purchase product that carries a manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty.

How do you un-install Lion and go back to Leopard?

How do I un-install Lion and return to Leopard?

I believe you mean to return to Snow Leopard:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

How do you re-install an app you bought on a new drive?

Just bought my first app on the App Store (Pixalmator). Pretty cool. It drops the app on your doc and it looks like when you buy or update an app on your iPhone (little progress bar under it as it downloads). In the past, most application I purchase on-line come in a .dmg file. I can then store that off and back it up. If I ever need to re-install the app, I have it installer. Now, I don't really have an installer, just the app. How do we back it up and re-install it in the future? Like if I get a new mac or replace the hard drive, etc.?
Thanks

You just do it through the App store. When you are logged into the app store you can just reinstall it on that computer without paying for it. That's how it works by design. Alternatively because of that you can install that purchased app on all of your computers. Now the catch is when there is a FULL PAID UPGRADE you would then have to purchase it all over again. But for right now you should be able to log into the app store and just redownload/install it

How do you copy/install a pre-configure client for Mexico

Is there a pre-configured client for Mexico.
If yes, how do you install pre-configured clients.
Where do you get information on pre-configured clients
Thanks
Joe

Hello Joe,
actually, there is another possibility that might be interesting for you:
http://service.sap.com/bestpractices
At "Release Planning" -> Availability Matrix
I can see that the country-specific baseline for Mexico is available for ECC 6.0, also, an updated version and a version for the Retail-industry is planned for Q3/Q1, respectively.
The documentation DVD of the best practices explains in detail the business processes, master data etc. that will be activated in the system if you install the SAP Best Practices Baseline Mexico in your system.
Best regards, Barbara
