How do I reset my lost login account password on Macbook Pro OS 10.7.4.
Why is there no community checkbox for OS 10.7.3 or 10.7.4 when 10.8 is due within days?

Why would there be? There's never been version support, just the OS.

You should check that your Mac meets the requirements for upgrading.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

How to restore/reset Snow leapord(10.6.8) on macbook pro, no DVD

Hi,
I want to restore/reset Snow leopard (10.6.8) on MacBook pro to factory settings. I don't have installation DVD.
Reason for restoring/resetting, I purchased used MacBook pro. I never used MAC before, always used Windows.
I did not realize while purchasing it, I will need installation DVD. I want to clean up previous user setting and preferences. I am using MAC first time, so be on safe side want to get rid of, if any remote access to my MacBook, data sharing or anything like this.
I don't want to buy installation DVD from apple.
Is there a way to make bootable USB from current installation?
If I cannot make bootable USB, what settings/preferences I need to clean up for achieving my safety concern?
Please suggest me solution for above mentioned questions or any other solution.
Thanks.

No.
On Linux that can be done, but not OS X, no program that I know of exists, but it would certainly be welcome, but Apple would likely sue them.
I did not realize while purchasing it, I will need installation DVD.
The original 10.6 machine specific disks should have came with the used machine, contact the original owner.

You will need to securely wipe the entire drive to accomplish this and you will need to boot from the 10.6 install disk.
Software can lie to you, so if it says one thing it still might be open and exposing you to intrusions.
I don't want to buy installation DVD from apple.
You'll need the 10.6.4-10.6.8 disk and if the machine originally came with 10.6.3 or later then you will need to contact Apple to get machine specific versions of the disks as those are not sold online, except if your lucky and find a used one for that exact model of Mac on eBay or something.
Intel Mac's that originally came with 10.4-10.6.2 from the factory can use the white 10.6.3 retail disks (sans free iLife), you can purchase from Apple or on Amazon.com or elsewhere.
If your interested in not installing malware, then don't use the illegal copies on P2P networks.
To find out what OS X version came with the machine, use the free MacTracker, also these links

Sharing Music from different login accounts on a MacBook Pro

I just have a quick question. My wife sync's her iPhone to her account login on my MacBook Pro which is different from my login from startup. We share the computer but I got her, her own login so she could add and mess with the features she prefers. Anywho, I am curious if there is any way to share my music folder on my main admin user account on my MacBook Pro with her login account (we switch users, login and logout). Is this possible? Would make life a LOT easier. Hopefully this makes sense...we both just want to be able to sync the same music to our iPhones without having to backup all the music on my external harddrive and then load it onto her login account. I dont use Mobile Me.

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

How can i reset or restore to factory settings my macbook pro 7.1?

Guys, I need your help.. any genius out there who can help me?? i just want to reset/restore my macbook pro 7.1 from its orginal factory settings... how can i do this without deleting my OS and words and excel? thank you so much.. any help is very much appreciated.. Thanks again!

just make the system setting like form factory.
Can't have it both ways. "Refreshing" w/o deleting programs and restoring to factory level are 2 different things. Also, it depends on which OS system you have. You did not mention this in any of your postings nor have you included your system info.
You have to decide which do you actually want to do?
Archive & Install (if your OS allows)
Erase the HD (restore to factory level)

How do I move files between different accounts on my MacBook Pro?

Recently, I have got the new MacBook Pro and so have had to transfer files from my old Dell to it. To do this I used migration assistant and it worked successfully, however, all the files I transferred have been loaded onto a new account on my Mac, I was wondering if anybody could tell me how I can transfer these files from the account it has created into the one I use regularly and all my other files are stored in. Thank you

Share files with others using a drop box
To give a copy of a file to another user, you can copy the file to the user’s Drop Box folder.
If you can’t find a computer you’re looking for on the network, make sure the other user has file sharing turned on.
To give a file to another user on your computer:
Open the user’s Public folder (in their home folder in the Users folder on your hard disk).
Hold down the Option key and drag the file to the Drop Box in the user’s Public folder.
To give a file to someone who uses another computer on your network:
Open a Finder window and browse for the computer in the Finder window sidebar (under Shared).
Select the computer, and then open the user’s Public folder.
Drag the file to the Drop Box folder, which is in the user’s Public folder.

How do I open an additional iTunes account on my MacBook Pro in a foreign country?

I have a iTunes account in America, but now living in Germany and want to purchase items on the German site, can I open an additional account on the same computer? Can you have different accounts in different countries at the same time? I understand you need a foreign address and foreign credit card from that country, but can you have two accounts at the same time? Any additional information would be helpful...

Yes you can have tow accounts.

How do i find com.apple.smig keychain password on MacBook Pro

In order to finish transferring old MacBook Pro stuff to my new iMac, I need a com.apple.smig keychain password. What is it and where do I find it? I looked in applications/utilities/keychain access/password, but I don't see com.apple.smig. Is it under something else? thanx

Sorry, it doesn't work to look in Keychain.
Since both machines are fully occupied by the transfer process, you can't get into Keychain.
I checked on another machine and there was no com.apple.smig in Keychain. It was a macine I had just transferred everything from to a new machine and had gotten the same messge. It is hard to believe this is an issue for so many people and there are no ansers to be found.

How to combine external hard drive iTunes account to my MacBook Pro's iTunes account?

Hey All,
I have external hard drive that contains my Macbook Air's iTunes account, and I want to combine it to my 'main' MacBook Pro's iTunes account.
I have spent endless hours organizing the music on my external hard drive (ie: genres, groupings, comments, etc) and am hoping to retain all of this precious information.
I am a newbie and obviously not very tech savy.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Ask me anything to assist in the process and I will get back to your promptly.
Cheers,
Danny

I just answered a question like this about an hour ago so I won't type it all in again. No, there isn't an easy way to merge libraries. You can copy the entire iTunes library to the internal drive and then try to export playlists and import them into the other library, Haven't done it myself but it may work. Fortunately most of the things you mention are contained inside the files themselves (unless you use WAV format) so even if you end up having to add the files to the main library as new files they will still have your data (but not ratings, or date added, or playlists).

Resetting the original administrator account password without disk

How can I reset the original administrator account password without the disk.
I just moved homes and can't find disk. Pls, help.

Backup before you begin just in case.
Boot holding cmd+R. Recovery mode should startup (assuming you have a recovery partition).
Select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Enter the word…
resetpassword
… & hit return.
The GUI app will open, select the main boot HD.
Select the admin user account in the popup menu.
Change & save the new password.
Quit ResetPassword from the menu,
Quit Terminal
Reboot
NOTE:
The keychain is setup to use the user login password to unlock when you login. It will now be inaccessible without the old password. You should be prompted to create a new one via a dialog, if not manually create a new login keychain in Keychain Access & set it as 'default'. Backup the old keychain if you are ever likely to remember the old password, or delete it since these passwords are inaccessible without the correct password.

HT204053 how do i reset my additional iCloud email password which i forgot because of all your new pw requirements

how do i reset my additional iCloud email password which i forgot because of your new PW requirements

The password for your iCloud email is the same as the password where you sing into System Preferences>iCloud or http://icloud.com - can you sign in in the latter? If so and your email doesn't work you should sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again, and check Mail and any other data tyupes you want to sync. You data will disappear from your Mac when you do this but re-appear when you sign back in again.
If you can't sign in at http://icloud.com you should go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Reset password' - sign in with your iCloud login and follow the instructions.
