I bought a refurbished apple and it has administrative password. Is there a way to remove or change it?

Hi,
I have MacBook Air 2008 with Mac OS X ver 10.6.8 with adminstrative password. I can use it but it won't allow me to download a program. I don't have the discs for the Mac OS X program, Is there any other ways to figure out, change, or remove the admin password?
Thank you

Order a Snow Leopard DVD: You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8.
Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password

You will need to restore your iPod from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't sync then you will need to try recovery mode.

My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M. Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing. Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M. Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing. Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

That's Windows malware, so it cannot be infecting your Mac. It probably is on your computer as an email attachment. To remove it, see:
http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-remove-infected-files/
Also, note that BitDefender is pretty bad at detecting Mac malware. I would recommend removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information about protecting yourself from malware:

My friend is trying to send me a video but it won't let her because it's to big and my phone has a limit is there any way I can either manage it or take it off to where I can receive the video please help thank you

Is she emailing this video? If that is the case you will need to contact the email provider you use and ask them to raise their limit. If she is trying to text it there is a 300k limit for MMS.

My friend bought a new iMac and it was stolen. Is there any way to locate the computer using any information imbedded in emails or info on the computer? I heard that there is a way to track them.. Thanks so much. My friend is frantic..

My friend bought a brand new iMac and a couple weeks later it was stolen. Is there any way to track an iMac? It's the second time he's had a break=in and second time an iMac was stolen. Thanks!! My friend is absolutely frantic about it.

If he Registered his mac in his icloud account and said yes to "Find my mac" than he can go to icloud.com, log-in, and than click find my mac. His mac can then be located.
Good luck!

Is there a way to remove the changes to the URL Bar, specifically the status information and the target URL?

To begin, I utterly despise the changes to the URL Bar and the removal of the Status bar. In order to stay with the latest version of Firefox I am attempting to recreate the look and feel as best I can.
I have already installed the Status-4-Evar extension. The only thing that remains is to remove the status information and the target URL from the bar.
Are there any settings in about:config that will allow me to make these changes?
EDIT: Status information can be removed by toggling. status4evar.statusInUrlBar. Still looking for a way to remove the target URL...

HT1212 I bought a ipod 5 and it has a password i dont know what should I do

I cant use my ipod its is used i cant use it because of this dumb password

Talk to the person you bought it from. They should have opened up the device before they sold it.

HT201304 If I forgot my password is there any way to remove the restrictions and backup my iPod from the computer? I tried reseting it to factory defaults and then backing it up but it still has the restrictions on.

I'm trying to remove my restrictions, and i reset it to factory default, but everytime i back it up the restrictions are still on. I don't want to have to register as a new ipod and loose everything i've bought and added.

- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to it see:

My macbook PRO early-2011 was dropped and the cover of the screen now has a bump, is there a way to repair or change the cover? if so, what would the cost be?

Also the cover under the notebook is screwed up, anyways the unibody is fine but both covers are pretty much damaged, anyway tho change those?

Let's start by highlighting the fact that this repair will not be covered by any form of Apple warranty. That being said, you can check in places like www.powerbookmedic.com or www.ifixit.com for parts prices as a reference. You will have to change the entire lid, with all its guts, but the replacemente procedure is of medium to easy level of difficulty; basically you're disconnecting the cables and unscrewing the lid off.
Note that you can opt for new or used replacement parts.

What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

Resetting User Password in Lion and Mountain Lion
Boot into your Recovery Partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,
Clinton
