I got locked out of Mac os 9 and now I can't get into OS 9 or OS X. All I see is the Macintosh SE and a finder face and text that says "mac os 9.2 welcome to mac os". I can't get into COntrol Panel to reset the password to allow me to get in.

Do you have OS X and OS 9 installed on your Mac? If so, startup with the Option key depressed. This will open the Startup Manager window. Select the OS you want to start from & click the right arrow.

how do i install a purchased app that says installed but it's not on mac or iPad?

An app is considered to be installed if it shows up in a Spotlight search of local volumes. Bring up a search window in the Finder by pressing the key combination command-F. Search This Mac for the name of the application. Delete all copies that are found.

Got locked out as administrator

I know this has been asked before but could not find an answer that I could use.
Got locked out from my computer as an administrator -- did not forget the log in code - but I get the computer shaking when I enter the log-in info that I have been using for a while.
Tried to booth from the Lion usb start up disk -- tried to use previous back ups -- I just can not get in ...
Any one with ideas -- besides taking it to service
I'll never make it as a hacker since I can not even get into my own computer that I have used for years....

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

I got locked out from my iPad mini during setup, keep ask me for passcode but I didn't set one up. Reboot unsuccessful, iTune won't let me connect because I didn't enter my passcode. How to fix this?

I got locked out from my iPad mini during my initial setup. Keep ask me for passcode but I haven't setup one. Reboot and restart didn't solve the problem, tried connect to iTunes but it won't let me because it requires the passcode. Tried my Exchanged password, Apple ID password and my iPhone passcode but none work. Any idea to resolve this?

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost.

Do you mean the iPod is now disabled from entering in the passcode incorrectly too many times? If so, see this article.

Can the text that says "See Attachment" that appears in the body of an e-mail be edited?

When I attach to an e-mail, text that says "See Attachment" appears in the body of the e-mail. I would like to edit this text to say something else. I cannot find where this text is stored in the settings, and I am not even sure if it is generated by thunderbird or by the software that I am using that invokes thunderbird.
Does anyone know where this text is stored, or if it can be edited?

There is nothing like what you talk about, so I am unsure what the question is really.
When you click on write a mail and then add an attachment I see nothing, but an attachment name in the top right corner of the email.

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTuns. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:

I got locked out from my old Iphone before i was done replacing it

how can I unlock my old Iphone?

What do you mean you got locked out of the old phone before replacing it? Are you referring to your passcode, or something else. Could you supply more information and reword your question to better identify what is wrong? What were you doing, what appeared on the screen, what did you do?

I got locked out of my iphone and it says i had to connect to itunes but how do i fix it now

i got locked out of my iphone and it said i had to come to itunes to fix this and now i cant figure out how to reenable my iphone can anybody help me?

Start iTunes on the computer you used to setup/backup the iPhone, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer, then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end to the iPhone. That will put you in recovery mode and iTunes should see the iPhone. Then proceed to restore from backup as that will remove the passcode and allow you to access the iPhone.
