Need to start over with A3, can I restore and start again?
I'm having so many of the same issues with A3 as most folks here plus a few others, with no fix in sight, and I'm thinking of just restoring my iMac via TM back to BEFORE I installed the trial version.
Will this take me back to the A2 version and the A2 library?
I've read here some helpful tips to clean up the A2 library before going A3, so I'm hoping if I just backtrack and do it right, all will be well.
I tried doing a delete of A3 and a reinstall with the update disc, but I opened it up afterwards to the exact same yuk I had before.
Any thoughts anyone, please? TIA.
The short answer is, "Yes, of course."
The longer answer is, "Shoot me an e-mail with details on what is and what is not working and maybe I can save you some work." Or maybe not.

I bought an iPhone 5 at Best Buy, and they started the setup assistant process. Now I can't go back and start over so I can sync my phone to my iTunes account. I have an old iPhone 3GS and didn't use the iCloud. I backed up to my computer. And now I can't reset my iPhone 5 to sync to my iTunes.
Help.I purchased a iPhone 5, and after completing a backup of my old iPhone 3GS, I in error selected Set Up as a New iPhone in the Setup Assistant.
I connected to iTunes and did a Restore iPhone, which set the iPhone5 back to factory defaults, and I was able to restart the Setup Assistant, and following the apple support instructions, restored from my 3GS backup and synced with my iTunes account. The Restore kept my phone number intact.
I was worried that I would lose the setup of my phone number that was done in the store, but everything worked perfectly. -
I have tried deleting firefox from my computer entirely (I have a macbook). Then when I download it again, much later, it still acts like it knows what bookmarks and homepage I want. These were obviously set by someone else, and I want it to be fresh, I want to start over with a new firefox. I bought the computer used, and apparently firefox recognizes it as having been downloaded before and automatically adds stuff to it. It is annoying!!
The simplest method will be to create a new profile and delete the old one. User information such as bookmarks is stored in a profile folder. You can create and remove profiles by using the profile manager. First use the profile manager to create a new profile, then use it to delete the old profile.
For details on using the profile manager see the [[managing profiles]] article. An alternative site that can help is http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager -
will turbotax transfer from my broken hp laptop to a new mac or do I need to buy turbotax for mac and start over with my pc 2011 turbotax file
You'd have to ask Intuit. They might give you a cross-license to download and install the Mac version.

How to I completely delete my music in iCoud so I can start over with new play lists? I get the message that my files aren't music files. Can I see what is in my iCloud file?
Thank you Csound1, ok I guess I did manage to delete it but now when I copy new mp3 files they come as mpeg and iCoud won't accept them? Why? Do I have to convert them all now or can I set it somewhere to take them as mp3's. Appreciate the help. Have a great day! Cheers Steve

^^ that's the question... Want to delete the current and start over with the one I've already created, but want to keep all my songs and apps. Is it possible?
You can have apps and music from multiple IDs on your computer or your phone, but you will need the password for each one to install updates or to reload the content. You cannot merge the content from one ID into another, however.

I'm trying for various reasons to make my ibook and mini config match. I did this with a G3 and the IBook previously, but screwed up when setting up the mini.
What I need to do is recreate the ibook accounts in the same order on the mini. Is there away to just start over with brand new user accounts?The long term goal is to have to computers on the network, with identical accounts and identical permissions, so that a user on one has the same accounts on the other, and can log in. This means the netid db has to be the same on both. I'm trying to replicate what I was told to do in this topic.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1330775#1330775
Where you'll see according to that poster I need to have the accounts have identical names, be created in the same order before I can migrate them to get the results I want.
My understanding is also that using the accounts in system preference you can't change the first account created on the machine.
So what I think I'd like to do is trick the OS into thinking I haven't set up accounts and go through the procedure again.
If cloning would acheive this, I need to know how to do it. Do I replace the Users folder? Something higher up?

My old computer crashed and I had to get a new one. I was unable to save anything from the old computer. Is there anyway to get my music from my Ipod to my new computer without having to start over with the old cd's again
Hello cheech07,
The following article contains directions that can help get you back on track with iTunes. I'd recommend picking up at 'Part 5' of the 'External drive' section.

I just got a new iPhone 4S and tried to restore but it didn't finished downloading all the apps, tried to reset and restore again, but it wouldn't start over. What can I do?

Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware. -
I recently got a new macbook pro from work, and I have a macbook that is about two years old... runs great, but my wife is going to use my old macbook as her main computer (she has been using an old dell) while I use my pro as mine. I wanted to essentially start over with the macbook and give her a fresh computer, with none of the junk I had on it from work and school.
Is there a way to essentially start over and erase everything on my macbook hard drive? I want to do everything over, like when I booted it up for the first time... name the hard drive, redo settings, etc. Do I insert the startup disk and go from there? Any insight would be super helpful. Thanks!Hi SlickRick321,
You can do an erase & install of the HD and a clean install of the OS from the System Installation disc(s) that came with your computer. That will wipe everything out and startup the computer as though it was brand new (when the installation is completed).

I want to start over with iMatch - how do delete my existing library then statt again
Hi,
Two options:
1. Select all tracks , ctrl click and select delete from pop up. Check delete from iCloud and the select keep rather than sending to trash. Next hold shift key whilsts turning of match. When you turn back on match your iTunes library should be empty apart from previous iTunes Store purchases. You can now add all your tracks. The process should be quicker than starting from new as match will remember previous matches and uploads. You will lose all previous play count and playlists data using this method.
2. If you want to keep play counts and playlist, you could try this. Create a new library by holding option key whilst opening itunes. Turn on match and select add this computer. When process is complete, you will see all the music that you have in the cloud. Select all tracks and delete - you will get message that you are removing tracks from cloud.
Once done, close iTunes. Reopen itune holding option key and select the original library. All your music whilst still be there but the iCloud status will now be "Removed". To see status, in song view go to menu> view > view options and tick.
You can now select what you want to put back into match. Do this by selecting the track, ctrl click and from pop up select add to cloud. Match will ignore those tracks with "Removed" iCloud status.

Starting over with my 5 yo MacBook
I purchased an "entry level" MacBook back in 2006. It's still plugging away. However, it's 5 years old and I have never upped the Ram (took a lot of stuff off though). I had been getting notifications that my disk was getting full, but haven't lately.
I'm thinking of just reinstalling the system and starting over with it. I had installed Tiger when it came out and I'm wondering, if I reinstall, can I also do the Tiger updates or will my installation code have expired or reset since I'm reinstalling the entire thing??
If I didn't explain myself well enough, let me know.jkesner:
I had been getting notifications that my disk was getting full, but haven't lately.
Running your computer with a too full HDD can result in irretrievable directory corruption and data loss. What is the total capacity of your HDD and how much of it is available disk capacity? (Select HD icon on desktop and Get Info (Command + I). This information will be helpful.
I'm thinking of just reinstalling the system and starting over with it.
Reinstalling Tiger is certainly an option. You might consider upgrading to Snow Leopard if your computer meets the technical specifications for Snow Leopard. However, before you undertake reinstallation of Tiger or upgrading the OS, I would want to be sure that your HDD is up to snuff, and is not too full.
You might also want to consider upgrading the RAM to 3GB, or at least 2GB.
Please post back with further questions/comments.

How do I start over with passwords?
On my old Mac Mini I knew my Apple ID and never had problems.
Now I have a new Mac Mini, it seems that I have different passwords for different tasks.
I had to create an iCloud password, which I don't remember. I have to keep changing my Apple ID password because if I remember it on my new Mac Mini, I forget it on my iPad. Then of course if I change it using my iPad, I have to remember that one when using the Mac Mini, and on and on it goes. (Of course, writing them down would help but that's too simple.)
I would like to start over with my passwords and scrub the old (i.e. current) ones completely. It feels like I'm forever enterting passwords and I can never tell which one it wants. And why can't my Apple ID password be the same as my iCloud password? Then I'd find it easier to remember; or it wouldn't be so bad forgetting just one instead of two. The whole thing gives me a headache.

Los AngelesThe iCloud and Apple ID password can be the same. Mine are.

Just make them the same and then go to all your devices and sign out and sign back in with the new password.
