Mac book 10.5.8 how 2 reinstall

i have problem with memory and want 2 reinstall,but i dont know how 2 delete first system.when i put instalaton disc n restart computer,i cant find disk utility in erese system before i start installing system agin

When you reboot the system with the installation disk, or on starting the installation, there will be a bar across the top (the menu bar) which will have 'utilities'. Click on that, click on Disk Utility, and from there you can erase the hard drive. If you want to wipe the entire disk clean, do a secure erase, which will write zero's to the hard drive. This does take awhile to complete.

My daughter forgot her Mac book pro password. How can I reset it

My daughter forgot her Mac book pro password. How can I reset it?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

Just brought a new Mac Book Pro and wondered how to move my apps from the iPad to this?

Just brought a new Mac Book Pro and wondered how to move my apps from the iPad to this?

iPad apps will not run on a Mac.
iPads use the iOS operating system. Macs use the OS X operating system. Apps for one won't run on the other.
The most that you can do is store the content on your iPad in the content libraries of iTunes for Mac. You can play the music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts from the iPad using iTunes on the Mac. As well as, read iBooks from the iPad in iBooks for Mac.

and also so that I can use my new computer when I get it?
Just restore your data onto the new computer from the most currsent backup of the stolen computer.

Mac book air cracked screen. how much to repair and how long to fix it

is cracked screen on mac book air coverd under warrenty

Hello mehrnoosh,
A cracked/damaged screen is not covered by the one-year limited warranty (or) the AppleCare Protection Plan. It is considered accidental damage and thus not eligible for a free replacement/service under the terms of either. That being said, your renter's or home owner's insurance might be able to offer service/replacement coverage if personal electronic items are covered. In addition many major credit cards offer additional warranty/coverage options within the first X (it varies) of ownership. You would need to reach out to those specific coverage options yourself, however.

HT4059 I am on a Mac Book Pro Laptop and how to play Audible books?

Hi, I am working with a new Mac Book Pro and would like to download Audible books from Amazon. I am having trouble finding the App that would allow me to listen to such books. Suggestions?

You'll need your CS6 upgrade serial number plus the serial number of the earlier qualifying version from which you upgraded (CS5?).
Download the CS6 Mac installer from Download and Installation Help
Install then enter your CS6 upgrade serial number and your CS5 serial number when prompted.

I have a mac book 10.4.11. how do i upgrade to mountain lion?

Do i have to download operating systems in oder or can i just download mountain lion?

Upgrading to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

Mac Book Hard Drives and how can I upgrade it???

I understand that how to replace it... I am just iffy on what brand and type of HDD... I was wondering that if any of you have changed it out and what type of HDD you have replaced it with...
If you can help that be great thanks...

It depends on whether you want speed or storage capacity. Unfortunately, you cannot get both in a notebook drive.
For speed there are Seagate and Hitachi 100 GB 7200 RPM drives.
For size there are 5400 RPM drives with capacities up to 160 GB and 4200 RPM with a capacities up to 200 GB.
These are your basic options.

Hi I want to wipe clean my old Mac Book and start again - how do I do this?

Hi, I want to wipe clean my old MacBook and start again. How do I do it

What operating system is on the MacBook? Do you have the original disks that came with it?
Probably the easiest way to do this is to not wipe the hard drive, but to delete all of your user's data. Use System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and go to Users & Groups (or Accounts in earlier versions of the OS.) Create a new user here by using the "+" button. Log out of your old user and into the new one. Go again to Users & Groups. Use the "-" button to delete your old account, not saving the information stored in it.
This leaves the operating system untouched but deletes all your information.
Best of luck.
