  • I want to factory reset my MacBook Pro to delete EVERYTHING in there and start from scratch but it won't work! HELPP!

    I have  a MacBook Pro and I have A LOT of files in there which I don't need anymore. And it's too much to sit and do it one by one so I want to completely reset it to factory settings. I tried booting it from the OS X CD by holding C during startup but it won't work. It just gets stuck on the white or gray screen with the apple logo. Nothing else. I'm assuming that it's because the software version on the Mac is 10.6.8 but the boot disk I'm using is 10.6.3? But I'm not sure.
    I also tried booting the CD with holding the option key and choosing the disk, same problem.
    Opening Disk Utility while regularly logged in, won't let me delete.
    Also tried changing the setting of what to boot in on startup, still gets frozen on the apple logo.
    Please what can I do to fix this and delete everything?
    Thank you in advance!

         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc.  Insert the disc into the

         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup

             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software

    Does it work with headphones plugged in? If yes, did you try to play music in headphone mode, then unplug during playback and start playing music again after that?

    I recently purchased an upgrade to Photoshop CS6. (Dec 9 2014).  I have today downloaded the file (Photoshop_13_LS16.7z
    This downloaded OK
    When I tried to run the file (Winzip) I got the following message
    "Installer failed to initialise. Could be due to a missing file.  Please download Abobe support adviser."
    I tried to do that and it told me Adobe support adviser no longer exists.
    Could you please advise a solution.

    Extract it to a different location inside a dedicated folder and make sure to not destroy the file and folder hierarchy inside the archive. also run the install with sufficient user privielges and security stuff turned off.

  • Just purchased photoshop cs6 for windows and received installation disk.

    Just purchased photoshop cs6 for windows and received installation disk.  Where do you find the serial number on the disk?  What should the serial number start with?  The disk was in the original box and I see a number that start with 910.....
    The box was in a brown envelope and there is barcode sticker on the back with more numbers.  Where should I look for the actual serial number.
