I want to pass my iMAC along to my kids. System is 10.4.11. Have original Lion and Tiger OS discs. What do I need to do to set it up for a new user?
I'm having to guess at which iMac you have. This forum covers three older variants of the iMac family that were made from 1998-2005 with three different processor types.
If yours has a G-series processor, it can run neither Lion 10.7 nor Snow Leopard 10.6. If the processor is a G5 or a G4 (must be faster than 867mHz( you can install Leopard 10.5. If your plan is to reinstall the OS before turing over the computer, let us know which iMac you have (doing "About this Mac" from the Apple menu will give the processor type--that will do for this purpose)
If "About this Mac" says you have an Intel processor, you have a much newer iMac. Let us know and I can ask the Hosts to move it to that separate forum.
If you wish to maintain control over the computer, you can go to System Preferences > Accounts and set up a new standard account. The user logged into that acct can pretty much use anything installing in that account but cannot install new software or modify the system. That means less chance of something bad getting on the computer but also means they wil be asking you to help install stuff as they won't have access.
If you wish to give the kids full control, set up a new account with admin priveleges, then either strip content form your account and leave it, or simply delete it once you are satisfied that the new accout is working.

If I have my ITunes up to version 10.6.3, what do I need to get to version 10.7 for my new Iphone 5 to be able to work on my macbook to add my songs to my phone
Hi Jeff,
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access5
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

How do I reformat a MacBook for a new user?
I have a previously used MacBook that I am taking to Haiti and giving to a new user there. How do I wipe it clean? I know how to set it up for the new user, but am unsure how to wipe out the previous data, user info, etc. Thanks for your help.
Prepare Your Mac for Sale
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box. -
How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4
I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
JonasIn Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes -
Identity Server has not been configured for this new user/group suffix
Hi all
I am having a problem trying to configure the Directory Server (5.2) for Messaging Server.
My configuration is as follows:
SJES Q12005
Server 1 - Directory Server 5.2
Server 1 - Access Manager (formerly Identity Server)
Server 1 - Web Server 6.1
I have successfully installed the above and can login to Access Manager.
I next installed Calendar & Messengar Server on "Server 1". Upon running "comm_dssetup.pl" from /opt/SUNWcomds/sbin, I get the following error:
"Identity Server has not been configured for this new user/group suffix"
Copy and paste of what I entered:
bash-2.05# perl comm_dssetup.pl
Welcome to the Directory Server preparation tool for
Sun Java(tm) System communication services.
(Version 6.3 Revision 1.0)
This tool prepares your directory server for use by the
communications services which include Messaging, Calendar and their components.
The logfile is /var/tmp/dssetup_20050830165940.log.
Do you want to continue [y]:
Please enter the full path to the directory where the Sun ONE
Directory Server was installed.
Directory server root [var/opt/mps/serverroot] : /opt/mps/serverroot
Please select a directory server instance from the following list:
[1] slapd-sunldap
Which instance do you want [1]:
Please enter the directory manager DN [cn=Directory Manager]: cn=DirMan
Password:
Detected DS version 5.2
Will this directory server be used for users/groups [Yes]:
Please enter the Users/Groups base suffix [dc=samplecompany-dev,dc=co,dc=uk] : ou=infrastructure,o=sampletown,dc=samplecompany-dev,dc=co,dc=uk
There are 3 possible schema types:
1 - schema 1 for systems with iMS 5.x data
1.5 - schema 2 compatibility for systems with iMS 5.x data
that has been converted with commdirmig
2 - schema 2 native for systems using Identity Server
Please enter the Schema Type (1, 1.5, 2) [1]: 2
Identity Server has not been configured for this new user/group suffix
You can opt to continue, but you will not be able to use
features that depend on Identity Server
Are you sure you want this schema type? [n]:
I have entered my user group suffix exactly as specified during the Access Manager install (hence I am able to login as "amadmin").

Can anyone give me any pointers?
ThanksHi
Thanks for your reply!
I did mis-type, my mistake - sorry about that.
If I dont over-ride the default it works, I've pretty much got the whole setup working now but I'm not particularly over the moon about the way the ldap tree is setup, I'd like finer granuality as we are going to attempt to get syncronization working with AD.
I have an idea about how I'd like to set up our Mail/Calendar/LDAP infrastructure the 2nd time around (I'm just testing at the mo) - so I might have a question or two for you if you dont mind taking a look when you have a minute?
Thanks Jay -
I now have a black Desktop Screen for all new users
Can someone possibly help me to shed some light on a problem I seem to be having with my image? Here is the scenario:
I installed Windows 7 x64 SP1 with Office 2013 on a VM-Patched up to date as of the composition of this message.
I created a "Student" account, all I did was launch office and IE-Nothing really out of the ordinary.
I then renamed Default to Default.bak and copied the Student profile to Default.
Joined to the domain.
Restarted, and logged in and now I have a black desktop, no wall paper or anything. It is set on Windows Basic,
I can go in and select any other theme and it the problem is fixed. BUT, this will be an issue for all new users.Hi,
What's your propose to modify the default account? To create a mandatory User Profile? If that it is, the method you used is not correct, you can refer to the contents of the link below for more details about how to create a mandatory user profile:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg241183(v=ws.10).aspx
For your black desktop problem, it is because the default Profile doesn't define any wallpaper. To avoid this problem, you need to customize the default profile by yourself. You can refer to the link below for more details about how to customize the default
user profile:

How to create a jobsteps for a new user to run a report on portal
Hello Experts,
Is there any program that automatically creates a jobsteps for the new users for
a role??
My company BW roles are mapped with R/3. so whenever a new user is created in a R/3 role
it comes and maps with BW Role and creates that users automatically in BW.
Now the problem is if any new users are created in r/3 and mapped with BW. the report
fails to run for the new users unless and until they really login in to the system.
For ex: I have 5 new users which are created in R/3 and properly mapped with BW. But
report fails to runs for the new users.
ERROR: Jobs step fails for the User X
Is there any programe that automatically creates a jobsteps for the new users??
Please advice.
Thanks in advance,
HarishHello Kedar,
Do you manually add a new users to the role??
How the reports run for new users in your company??
Thanks,

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox openedFirefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2 and cant believe what a waste of money it is.
The newest version of CS2 is CS5. And it was made very clear that these applications would not run in Lion. Not only by Apple, but on all sorts of communities and websites. It has been a long time coming - PowerPC apps were outdated six years ago. Lion does not support Rosetta, and therefore not PPC apps.
you have to options. Go back to Snow Leopard or upgrade your software. (MS Office 2004 and older will not run either).

i am trying to redeem my itune prepaid card and the system request the security question's answer which i have forgot. im trying to retrieve it through my yahoo email address which i set earlier but i do not receive any email from apple support. Can i know what should i do to retrieve my security question's answer?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

I have installed Lion and Microsoft Office 2011. I want to uninstall Office 2004, but of course I cannot run the application to uninstall, because I get the "PowerPC applications are no longer supported" message. Suggestions?
Go to this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312172 and/or this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768. I would suggest removing both to start with a clean slate. I had some problems with installing Office for Mac 2011 over 2008 and found out that by completely removing both and starting from a clean slate provided the best solution. Kappy is correct but some sniglets do get left behind. Hope this helps. Cheers.

I have an iPad and my sister has a Mac. I'd like to buy an app for her from my Apple ID to her Apple ID but can't seem to do it. Any help please!!!!
HI Friend,
I think Gift Cards found in iTunes can help you. You can give her a Gift Card as the same value as the app and then she can buy by herself.
PS.: I never made it before, so please have a look about this in iTunes for further information before the purchasing.
Hope it will be helpful -
