Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Do you mean that you can't put pictures onto the computer or you can't upload them to a storage place on the internet?
What device are you trying to use to put pictures onto the computer?

Hi i have just bought a used ibook from goodwill and need to reset the id and password.is there anyway to do this? i called tech support and they said to try here because our ibook is considered opsolete and they can't help me. thanks

hi before i start i did not steal it, i bought a used ibook and need to know if there is a way to reset or get past the old user id and pass word. we bought it from goodwil so no way to ask old owner and i called tech support and it is conciderd opsolete so no help from them and know one in this area works on mac. so what can i do? this is for my daughter and we are not rich thats why we bought used. thanks for any help.

Here are the instructions, as I have them:
Press the Command + s key during startup. This takes you to Single User Mode, where you will see a command line.
Type this when the command-line prompt (>) appears:
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
When the iBook restarts, you will see the setup screen. This allows you to create a new account. BE SURE to give yourself administrative privileges. You can now use this new account and set it to log in automatically with this new account if you don't want to be bothered with the login screen every time you start up.
You can also delete the old account if you want to free up some hard drive space.
Good luck!

However, it is desirable to do it with the disc, if it is available, which is why I waited to see if the user has the disc before supplying the instructions for doing it via Single User Mode.

I bought a used 160GB ipod and I cant get my computer to read it. What do I need to do?

Is your iTunes running the latest version? If not, but the iPod you've bought has been set up to work with the latest version, then iTunes probably will not recognise it.
In iTunes, select Help/Check for updates. If there is a newer version, make sure you are running that before connecting the iPod again.
If that isn't the problem - or more to the point - it doesn't fix the problem, post here again so that anyone watching it can suggest the next step.

I bought a used Iphone 3 and I am having difficulties acceding programs because the apple id slots are full. Does anybody know anything My phone is disconnected right now and I am having issues with my home phone so I cant call Apple Support???????

I bought a used Iphone 3 and I am having difficulties acceding programs because the apple id slots are full. I need help knowing how to delete these accounts so I can put my apple account on it .
-thankyou The Roofer

You should restore the iPhone to factory settings so as to clear off all data and content from the former owner.

Then you can set it up with your own Apple ID and sync/download your content.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this?

I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?

See this previous discussion.

I recently purchased a used ibook g4 and want to update to itunes 10.2. It tells me i need mac os 10.5 to do so. Today is the first day I have ever used a mac and I am not well versed on computers to begin with. What do I need to do?

I recently purchased a used ibook g4 and i want to update to itunes 10.2. It tells me that I need to update to mac os 10.5. Today is the fist time that I have ever used a mac and I am not very well versed on computers to begin with. From what I gather I need to purchase the mac os 10.5 but there are a lot of different options and I dont know what I need to do. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I dont want to spend too much money because i just want my ipod touch to be compatible with my ibook. thank you

Hi
Your question is more suitable for the 10.4's General Forum rather than 10.4 OSX Server. Post here instead:

Bought a used Mac Mini and can't get past security password Seller refuses to answer emails. is there a keyboard command to take it back to factory settings or do I need to buy a Disc set and OS???

You can bypass the password and wipe the drive and return to the original facory installation if the seller included the orginal install DVDs with the Mac mini. If not you will need a retail version of Mac OS X. To boot from the Install DVD restart the mini, immediately slip in the DVD and press and hold the C key.

I am new to Mac. I have iphone and ipad but I bought a used Mac G4 and all is well except I cannot figure out how to download a program from a CD that I need for my business. I think it's a simple fix so HELP!

I am new to Mac. I own an iphone and an ipad but have always used a PC for my business use. I bought a used Powerbook G4 and all is well EXCEPT I cannot get a program to download from a CD. I think it's an easy fix so HELP!

A few questions ....
What is the program you are trying to download? It is a mac version?
Is this a vendor's CD or a copy or ?
What error message or other indication do you get that says the download won't happen?

I bought a used sprint 4s and tried to put my motorola sim which is also on sprint network into phone but it doesnt work is there something i need to do to make it work or am i SOL?

I bought a used sprint 4s and tried to put my motorola sim which is also on sprint network into phone but it doesnt work is there something i need to do to make it work or am i SOL? major problem is that my current motorola phone is issued to me from my employer but phone ***** so i want to upgrade to the ipone i purchased but it still needs to work like my company phone as they pay the bill. help me pls

A Sprint iPhone uses CDMA when in the US. The SIM is used only when not in the US.
To use it in the US, you have to have Sprint activate it, but it is unlikely they will activate in on your company's account.

I bought a used iPad 2 and now it is unusable because it keeps prompting me to sign in to iCloud with the original owners ID and I can not locate him, what can I do?

I bought a used iPad 2 and it has started prompting me to sign into iCloud, however, I do not have the original owners password. How can I reset it

You can't. You may have purchased a stolen iPad. Where did you buy it? If on eBay, you can get a refund.

ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it.
Contact that carrier and ask if they offer this service and if you qualify

Just bought a used mac pro and it has 4 video cards?

Hi all, I just bought a used mac pro and it has 4 Geforce 7300 GT video cards in it. Why would it have 4? Is it just to display on 8 monitors, or can OSX use the power of each card? Is there anything I can do to take advantage of these extra cards? sell them?!

No, OS X cannot combine the four cards. All they are good for is to connect 8 monitors. If you don't plan to do that then you're better off removing three of them (only the upper three.) This will save energy - roughly 50-75 watts per card - and the computer will be cooler.
