I am selling my iMac but would like to restore it back to its factory settings! How do i do this?

If you use iTunes to buy music or Apps for an iOS device run iTunes and Deauthorize your computer. Do the same with the Mac App Store program.
If your computer shipped with Lion you'll first want to need to restart the computer with the Recovery Partition (hold command R while you restart the computer) Once you've booted select the option to format the hard drive and then select the option to install the OS.
If your computer shipped with an earlier version of the OS, restart your computer with the system disk. Select Disk Utilities from the menubar options and format the hard drive. Then select the OS install option and install the OS.

Unfortunately, adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 available for download, as far as i know, so your best bet is to either get an usb dvd drive or use an computer with a dvd drive and copy the contents of the pse 6 dvd to somethiing like
a flash drive and then copy the contents from that drive to your new computer.
Do you still have your older mac and it has a dvd drive?
You can share files between the two using airdrop or an ethernet cable.

I'm wanting to restore Safari to its factory settings but my Safari doesn't show the "Restore Safari" button for me to do that. How do I restore Safari back to its factory settings?

I'm wanting to restore Safari on my computer back to its factory condition but, for some odd reason, Safari is not showing me the "Restore Safari" button on my computer. Can anyone help me in this dilemma?

Safar 8
Apple removed "Reset Safari" menu option in Safar 8.
In it's place there is "Clear History and Website Data".
You can use that option.
Best.

If you do not have it on disc, then download it, install it, and activate it with your serial numnber. If you need to download it, if you purchased it online thru Adobe look for a link in your Adobe account online. You can also download the trial version and activate it with your serial number...

I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen

I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen.

Go to System Preferences>Sound>Output and make sure that you selected the right output. I think if yo use HDMI you might not be abe to select another output.

I just joined CC and downloaded PS. Since I live in Belgium, it is installed in Dutch, but I would like to get it in English. Anyone knows how I can change this? Thanks!

HI all,
I just joined CC and downloaded PS and LR.
Since I live in Belgium, PS is installed in Dutch, but I would like to get it in English. Anyone knows how I can change this?
LR is immediately in English so that one is ok.
Thanks!

Look at this thread for step by step screenshots on how to do this.

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.

I use yahoo for my email. I would like to make a folder for an email. How do I do this.

I use yahoo for my emails. I would like to make a folder for an email. How do I do this?

If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

I would like to restore Firefox to ver. 4. How can I do that?

I would like to restore Firefox to ver. 4. How can I do that?

Almost all extensions for Firefox are third-party has Mozilla has only been involved with a small number themselves.
Have you looked for updates to this extension at addons.mozilla.org or homepage yet as it appears to have had a 1.4 version update on June 28 by the extension author at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/similarweb-sites-recommendatio/
You really should look at addons.mozilla.org or homepage or check for extension updates in Tools->Addons manager before concluding the best option is to downgrade Firefox as the version of extension you have may be old.

HT1338 I would like to burn a home movie from imovie. How may I do this?

I would like to burn a home movie from imovie. How may I do this? I have imported from a viedo camera to imovie and cannot burn it to a blank dvd! ***?

Buy iDVD.
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40. (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)
