How would i reset my macbook pro if i don't have the Install Disk?
I forgot the password to the admin, but I'm still able to use my laptop because I have two users but I can't use the admin. I don't have the Install Disk, so the instructions that they're giving me in order to reset the password I'm unable to do. So how would reset the password or just reset my laptop in all without the Install Disk ?

How can I reinstall my Deskjet F4180 if I do not have the install disk
How can I reinstall my Deskjet F4180 if I do not have the install disk
Jerry, welcome to the forum. Since you didn't mention which OS you are using, I provided the Software and drivers page for Win 8.1. It provides the HP Deskjet F2100/F4100 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver. This will install the printer. If the OS is not correct, you can provide the correct one. Please click the "Thumbs up + button" if I have helped you and click "Accept as Solution" if your problem is solved.

Upgrading MacBook Pro to new machine want to unistall. No disc.
Strictly speaking you are supposed to supply the old discs with a computer since they are part of the computer package (for Macs at least).
Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775 (telephone numbers for other countries - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57). Provide the serial number and specifications of the Mac. They may be able to provide a replacement set of discs for a fee. These discs will be for whatever OS was installed on the computer originally.
As far as your files are concerned, you can use another Mac or any retail version discs that will work in the old Mac to wipe the drive. To be more specific it would help to know what computers and which discs you actually own.
If you install an operating system (OS) on a Mac you also need to provide the discs (i'm talking about pre-OSX 10.7).
I have seen Macs sold without the original OS discs. If you do that then you at least need to provide the disc for the one on the computer. I guess you could try to sell the computer without an OS but that might be hard. If I was buying your computer I would want to see it boot, and I also might not want the hassle of getting an OS disc for it befre I could use it in any way. You'd have to come down a bit to make it sell.
Given all the above, I would still go with Snow Leopard. The retail disc itself will be as cheap as the original. The only things it might miss vs. the original will be bundled software (most of which will be outdated, though somebody might prefer older version to none) and perhaps the hardware test utility. Having a slightly newer OS might make the computer more attractive. -

At startup I get grey screen and a folder with a flashing question mark. How do I reset my MacBook Pro to the manufacture defaults?
Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

Your issue may not have anything to do with your files, it could be a corrupted cache file, reinstalling your OS and files from backup could be overkill and too much work.
Run ALL of the free OnyX's checks, cleaning and maintainence aspects (not the log files) and reboot at the end.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
Your machine will act a bit slow until the caches and spotlight are rebuilt, but it should act faster
Your next step is to use OnyX Verify Preferences and "show only corrupt plist" files
If you find some, make a note of their location and remove then to your desktop and reboot and start the programs responsible, reset your preferences. -

how do i update my macbook pro from 10.5.8 to the latest software?
First you have to purchase Snow Leopard, 10.6, from the Apple on-line store for $20. Install and on-line software update from the disk version to the last of the line, 10.6.8.
Then determine if you can go to Mountain Lion, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs and if you can go to the App Store and purchase for $20 the download of 10.8.3.
If you cannot go to ML, see if you can go to Lion, 10.7.5, do you have an Intel Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor at least 2 GB ram and 7 GB free hard drive space. If so you can purchase a download code for Lion from 1-800-MY-APPLE for $20.
If you can use Mountain Lion, skip the Lion step and go directly to ML. -

I am running MS Office for Mac 2008 on my MacBook Pro. I do not have the Standard and Formatting toolbar fixed into position, as I would expect and would like. I can access them via the View menu, where I have to select and de-select them before I can get them to display, but lose them when I log off. Can anyone help? I have tried all the usual and supplied help facilities to no avail. Thanks
Post the question in Microsoft's own Office for Mac forum.
