HT201240 I don't have the disk to do this, where can I get one? I bought my mac from a shop in botany, this was an ex lease mac etc.... Can you please help?

Hi, I don't have the start up disk for my mac, and am not able to login how can I reset my password? Mac was purchased as a ex lease from a PCM shop in botany.... Cheers

 
Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available. 
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

  • How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

    I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
    Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
    As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
    If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
    Cheers,
    Jack

    First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop).  Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
    Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts.  Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
    You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
    Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards).  You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
    You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
    Good luck.

    Hi, i have purchased iPhone 5 about 15 days ago, its working well but only one problem that it has is that some time its losting signal and appear as no serves. would you please help me in this reqard. thanks

    Well, it could be that your carrier doesn't have a signal when it looses its signal.  You could try resetting network settings which might help - Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings.  You'll need to set up any wi-fi networks you connect too again. If you're still having issues, contact your carrier.
    Good luck!

    What model year it the Mac you have? If it is a Late 2011 or newer model then you can first reinstall the Original version of OS X that came on it by using the Online Internet Recovery system. Hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r key at startup and hold them down until you see a Spinning Globe in the center of the screen. From the screen that comes up use Disk Utility to Repartition the drive as one partition aand when that is done close DU and Select Reinstall Mac OS X.
    If it is older then a late 2011 model then you will need the Original System disks for that Mac. These can be order from Apple for a small charge.

  • I don't have the disk for acrobat xi standard but i have the serial number

    i need to download acrobat xi standard without using the disk. I have the serial number. New laptops don't come with cd drivers, grrr

    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html Assuming you wanted an individual version and not a volume license or such, this should do it. It also is the full version, not an upgrade. Please back it up to a CD and/or a backup HD. Don't expect it to always be available.

  • I recently changed my MacBook Pro password, and now I don't remember it.  Is there anyway to gain access to my mac without reinstalling or deleting everything that's on it?  I don't have the disk that came with it either.

    Hi.  I recently changed my MacBook Pro password, and now I don't recall what it is.  My hope is that I can somehow gain access without deleting everything currently on it.  I do not have the MAC disk that it came with.  Is there something I can do myself?  Should I take it to the MAC store?  Thanks in advance for your help. 

    It helps with this kind of question to state which system version you are using on the computer as the answer will vary.

  • How do I re-download the OS Maverick if I don't have the 'disk'

    I don't understand what disk I'm suppose to have

    To redownload Mavericks, you can open the Mac App Store, the stylized A inside the blue circle on the Dock, then click Purchases and see if it shows up there.
    If not, restart the computer holding the Command and R keys, the from the utilities drop down that opens, select Reinstall Mac OS.  That will cause the Mavericks Installer to download...the file is 5.31 GB and will take a considerable amount of time to download.

  • TS1367 I have a A1046 Powerbook G4. It won't start past the spinning wheel. I don't have the disks. Any suggestions?

    I have a Powerbook G4, A1046 model. It won't boot past the spinning wheel. I have tried booting in open firmware, after I type mac-boot, it goes back to the spinning wheel. I need help

    Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...
