Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... give the new User a different name than an existing one.

Installed Parallels and XP but need help...
I saw a post yesterday mentioning to change the version of Windows you are installing to other and then after installing change it back to XP. How do I change it back to XP?
Thanks muchI also am having problems with the same type of printer you have but I can't even get my printer to come on. No matter how many times I press the on button nothing happens. All the ub cords are hooked up right, I inserted the CD it came with and have it as my main printer but I am getting no where with it. And the sad thing about it I was so convinced I could hook it up as I have hooked up other printers and got them to work that I opened the box got everything out and then threw the box in the dump. So now I can't take it back to get my money back. Could you please tell me how you got yours to at least come on????
P.S. Mine is a printer, copier and scanner but I can't get it to come on.
Thanks

Please could somebody help me I have an iMac which came with Tiger 10.4.10 installed I have lost my disks and I need to re-install after a hard drive failure. Where can I find this? I will upgrade to Snow Leopard after but I cannot go straight to SL
You can go strait to SL, all you need is a retail SL DVD available from Apple for $20. The US online store has them at:

I have cs4 installed on my old computer, i have since lost the disk and serial #s. Is there any way to recover this information and install the programs on my new computer? I used my old computer for college and haven't used it in awhile, now I have a job that can benefit from having those programs. I was wondering if ADOBE keeps records or something to where I can download the programs on my new MacBook and use my old serial #s.
Find your serial number quickly

this morning my PB G4 would not get to the password screen after power on. I have rebooted many times and very loud noises (like a HD spinning/rubbing) emits. Tried the Install disk and it cannot find the hard drive. Ran HW test and got a "Mass storage Error Code" message.
Did my HD just crash and unrecoverable? Time to replace my notebook?I believe your hard drive has failed. Hope you have a backup.

during restore of my backup on iphone 5s i saw my photos and videos get doubled on ios 8.0 and moreover
if i use to go at my computer and then open my iphone and in folder i see some files name local disk and my photos
please help my memory doubles.I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure. -
COPY INSTALL DISK AND DL QUESTIONS
OK, I want to make a backup of the Leopard install disk and I understand it's a dual layer DVD. I'm assuming Disk Utility can burn a bootable DL disk? Is there anything special that needs to be done because it's DL and needs to be bootable?
Also, I'll probably have to buy a package of 3 so what do I do with the other 2? Can I burn data backups on them with no problem and be able to red them like a standard DVD?
I'm assuming yes on all that but thought I'd check before spending the money.
Is there a way to put the install disk on an external drive then boot up from the external and install Leopard from there?Went out to get some dual layer DVD's and all Staples had was a 25 pack for $53, WAY more than I wanted to spend and I sure don't need 25 of them. So I went back to do an internet search for cheaper DVD's and found an interesting article on cloning the Install DVD to an external firewire drive.
I have an external USB2 drive but my iMac is supposed to be able to boot on that. I used Disk Utilities to add a partition without erasing the one that was there (I love that!). I then used restore in Disk Utilities and selected the disk image I had created and cloned it to the small partition on the USB2 drive.
I then used System Preferences Startup Disk to select it and restarted. Didn't do an install because I didn't need one but did Repair Permission and Disk Repair. All went perfectly, but MUCH faster than booting from the DVD. This can be really handy. -
Sdm and administrator password are different
Hi,
We have Portal 7.0 EHP1 system which is being used for Java development and has ESS, MSS business packages installed.
The administrator password expired, so I changed through the browser whenrein it gave option to change.
While the SDM password is same as before.
So, now the administrator and SDM passwords are different, earlier they were same.
Will this create any issue? If yes, how to resolve it?
Thanks & Regards,
Kunal.Hi Kunal,
To set the admin password permanent:
Open Offline Config Tool -> Switch to Configuration Editor Mode. Navigate to cluster_data -> server -> cfg -> services PropertySheet com.sap.security.core.ume.service
Switch to edit mode
open the propertysheet.
It will prompt you for a security warning, accept and proceed further.
Look for value ume.logon.security_policy.password_expire_days. The default value will be 90 days. Change it to custom value 999999 and save it. Restart the engine and your Administrator user password will not get expired.
Thanks and Regards,
Shyam. -

If you did not back up your information, and you have now restored your phone, then your information is not recoverable.

Installed new hard drive in imac and i get folder with question mark, put in OS install disk and it does nothing? All I have is wireless key board and mouse, is this an issue?
Other than put disc in you don't give much info about what you've done. With the install disc inserted restart your Mac while holding the C key, that should start it up from the install disc. Should also work fine with a wireless Apple keyboard.
