I tried to restore my MacBook pro. As I'm selling it its lion 10.7.4 but now it won't safari. And my setting are still on. Can anyone help please

Hi everyone
I need help?
I bought my MacBook pro 17" in may 2012 and I've only used it for iTunes and to surf the net.
I gathered that I wasn't really using it to its full potential. I'm selling it now and wanted to restore it.
I think I've pressed command a r and reloaded lion on to it.
The problem is it still has my account info and I was hoping that would put it to its factory settings.
I logged on and now safari won't load up.
Please can I have some help never had a mac before all I want is to set it too factory settings please.

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    You could just try changing your Input Sources under System Preferences>Language & Text:
    But I kind of doubt that's going to work. It may be a hardware problem or a system problem. If you take it into Apple they might be able to determine which and might advise a reinstallation of System software. I would take it to an Apple Store or an AASP but, first, make sure that you have a backup just in case they suggest a clean install of the system.
    Good luck,

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.
    Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
    Please let us know which approach works for you...

  • My menu highlights are blurred.  Can anyone help please?

    Hello all,
    I am trying to create a DVD menu with buttons that are highlighted by stars.  When I create the custom shape stars in Photoshop they seem good and I apply turn them into buttons that highlight.  When I open them in Encore they appear extremely pixelated.  Does anyone know why or how I can fix this please?

    I see your response by email, but not here in the forum. It says:
    They have no effects applied but they are fairly small stars.  I don't know how to increase the pixel size.  I am not very good with Photoshop and Encore is a nightmare to me at the moment.  They look ok in Photoshop but Encore hates them
    First, use an Encore template menu to help you get oriented. Look at the size of highlights and small images. So, for example, add the Sunset menu to a test project. Now "edit in photoshop." (See image below.) Look at the layers inside one of the button groups (e.g. "play movie"). I have circled visibility being off on one of the highlight layers - the other layer I have turned on so I can see the highlight symbol in PS. Zoom in, and see how anything other than straight up and down lines get pixelated. That's just the nature of pixels. Some tiny highlight symbols are not going to look right. Some text won't look right. 
    Second, if you can find an Encore template image that works for you, try that.
    Third, if you are going to create your own images in Photoshop, yes, there is a learning curve. You can scale vector images (which are now available in PS), but you have to be careful scaling images up that are fixed.

  • I have been using the app Fotor, for editing my pictures, it has crashed, i have tried to re install it, but it is still " crashed" can anyone help please?

    Hello people
    I have been using an app called FOTOR for edtining my pictures, it has recently crashed. I deleted it and re installed it but it ha sthe same crashed staus, can any one help me please? I miss it so much...

    UnInstall the App first and then Restart the computer then Verify and Repair Permissions.
    There are so many third party Apps out there that are just problematic to Mac's.  I am sorry for your problems but you can Install a program like GIMP it is Free and Open Source and has always been a very good app for Mac users and it was really developed for users that couldn't afford Adobe's Photoshop.

  • I purchased some Karaoke songs from Itunes store, but I need to know which type of disk to burn to so that I get the words also.  I tried burning on a CD-R but when put in Karaoke machine I only get the audio.  Can anyone help please?

    I purchases some karaoke songs from itunes store, but cannot get them to burn onto a cd with the words.  What must I do to be able use my purchase in a karaoke machine so I can see the wrds on screen as well as hear the audio?

    The tracks labeled "karaoke" in the iTunes Store are only instrumental backing tracks;  they are not actual karaoke tracks.  They do not have lyrics, and cannot be burned to the usual CD+G format that a karaoke machine will accept.
    If you want actual karaoke tracks,  go to a specialty online download store such as KaraokeDownloads.com.

  • I have inserted a EnVivo software cd into my cd drive and it has not been recognised and i cannot eject it. Can anyone help please.

    I have inserted an Envivo software cd into my cd drive and it hasn't been recognised and now i cannot eject it. Would appreciate any help thanks

    Now that we've established that you have the CD correctly imported into iTunes, we can move on from there.
    Connect the iPod to iTunes. When it shows up as a Device (in the left window of iTunes) select it. You will be looking at the Summary tab (or pane).
    On this pane, my choice is to have the option to Sync only ticked songs and videos selected. I recommend this option for you. This is relevant to the next step.
    At the top of the pane select Music. On this pane, check the options for Syncing. You need to have Sync Music selected and then choose either Selected Playlists (which will only put your choice of Playlists onto your iPod) or Entire Music Library. If you select "Entire Music Library" then all your songs (one exception) will be transferred to your iPod.
    The exception is: if you un-tick a song in your iTunes Library, then at the next Sync, it will be removed from the iPod but kept in your Library.
    Any luck?

  • I have just updated my PC with version11.14. I can no longer connect to my Bose 30 soundtouch via media player Can anyone help please

    @puebloryan, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have encountered a similr problem and wondered if you had found a solution. I've been using home sharing from itines on my PCs for years, but two days ago, it suddenly stopped. I can share from my Macs, but not from the ONE PC library where I keep all my tunes. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting measures.
    After turning home sharing off on the PC's iTunes, turning it back on and turning some other settings off and on, my Macs and Apple TV could briefly "see" the PC library, but as soon as I try to connect -- the wheel spins for a bit and then the connection vanishes. It's as if they try and then give up.
    Since this sounds so similar to your problem, I was hoping you finally found a solution. I am also starting a new thread. Thanks!
