Macbook Install Help

Can any one provide detailed instructions or links to some on how to make my macbook go back to being the way right when I first bought it. I know it involves using the mac os x disc that came with my macbook. I'm selling my macbook so I want to erase all of my accounts and files etc. Thanks.

Click here, follow the instructions, press the Command and S keys when the computer restarts, and enter the following into the prompt:
shutdown -h now

OLD MacBook - need help! Clueless

I have an old MacBook - I believe it is a 2008. It still works great, except I believe I need to upgrade my operating system. All of the websites I keep going on are telling me that they don't support the browser I'm using (Safari 5.0?). When I try to update the browser, it says my operating system needs to be upgraded... and I cannot figure out how to do that. I tried to install Google Chrome after that and it said it was not compatible with this version of MAC OS X.
I don't need Google Chrome necessarily, just want to be able to update the operating system and browser on this MacBook. Help!
Current Info: Mac OS X version 10.5.8.
I've gone under "Software Update" on the apple menu and it says there are no updates at this time... clearly there are! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Trying to avoid a trip to the Apple store. Thank you so much!

OK I'm doing this again since someone flagged my post but only the second one was erroneous.
The first one was to send you to Apple's site:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Where a download of Snow Leopard will cost you $19.99. (Is that ok?)
Your MacBook (2008?) can run Snow Leopard 10.6 and 10.7 for sure. The last version in that year will run 10.8.

Hi Timia,
If you are using Safari as a web browser :-
Open Safari, go to Safari menu > Preferences > General, and put Google as the homepage. Then, choose Google as your default search engine.
If you are using Google Chrome as the web browser :-
Open Google Chrome.
In the top right corner of the page, click the Chrome menu Chrome menu > Settings.
In the "Search" section, select Google from the drop-down menu.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.
Regards,
Aadesh

How much RAM should I get my new MacBook installed with?

How much RAM should I get my new MacBook installed with? I'm planning on getting a new Macbook sometime this fall. I'll probably be a light user, mostly internet, email, and your occasional Letter/Envelope.
Are their any other options that I'll want to make sure that I get?
Oh, and this will also be my very first Mac.
Thanks,
Jeff

In the link Alvin Ray posted it shows the different configurations that can be used in RAM. Officially Apple states that the MacBook supports 2 GB Ram. It can hold 4 GB but only uses 3 GB. The 4 GB would only benefit the matched pair use for optimum graphics. Unless you do a lot of very graphic intensive work 3 GB should be fine.

"Application wants to install Helper". Is this genuine?

A box keeps appearing saying Application wants to install Helper and asking for my password to access the hard drive. It just doesn't feel right to me and I wonder if it is genuine. Would be grateful for any advice.

Like an idiot, I actually entered my password, Safari crashed, and now it won't open. Sad thing is, I knew it wasn't genuine but was in the middle of a deadline and just was trying to make the window go away. Now every time I relaunch Safari is closes unexpectedly and won't reopen. Help please. Is this malware?

I have a new pc with win8.1 and I can't get my Photoshop Elements vers 1.0.1 to instal help, please.
Please assist with this compatibility issue. Thank you

Gordonr18571658 I am sorry I don't have any additional suggestions for how to install Photoshop Elements 1.0 besides installing in compatibility mode for Windows XP.
As an alternative you can find details regarding Photoshop Elements 13 at Picture editor, edit pictures | Adobe Photoshop Elements 13. Photoshop Elements 13 has been designed to install and function under Windows 8.1. There is a 30 day trial if you wish to evaluate the software and complete any current photo editing projects you may be facing.

CS5.5 install help!

I have just purchased CS5.5 but installation will not work (I've tried 5 times!). I have disabled my anti-virus, and my firewall and there are no previous versions on my PC! I have even deleted other Adobe products in case that was the problem. Any suggestions gratefully received as I'm really frustrated!!! Cannot get through to Adobe on the phone either!

Thank you very much! I will try the links below.
Unfortunately it is very hard to get in touvh with Adobe! The phone number for Australia is disconnected (if you have an Australian phone number for support I would be very grateful!!!)...and even the Education support number I tried the other day won't answer - have been on hold for 2 x 20minutes with no one answering! And the "chat" option...I've sat and waited for an operator to be available for ages...no operators available!
I have disabled my anti-virus, and firewall, checked that I have all the appropriate plug-ins ie. Java, Quicktime etc and my computer is brand new, Windows 7 with no previous version of Creative Suite! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong!!!
Regards,
Sarah

14 out of 15 MAcbooks installed snow leopard succesfully. One machine keeps spitting out the CD! Why? What can be done to upgrade machine?

Trying to upgrade Os X. 14 out of 15 MacBooks installed succesfully. One machine keeps spitting out the CD! Why? What can be done to upgrade machine?

Sounds like the optical drive may be on it's way out. It should be possible to connect the Mac to one of the others by firewire and do the installation by booting from the install disc in the donor Mac, then choosing the remote HD as the target when prompted.

Hey martinzg!
I have a couple of suggestions for you regarding this issue. First, here is an article about resuming your interrupted downloads from the Mac App Store:
Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4485
If you are still unable to get the games to download after attempting to resume the interrupted download, you may need to report an issue with your purchases:
