You need to call Sprint and have them disassociated any email accounts with that PIN.

Just purchased a used G4 and need some help

First, let me say, that I am finally returning to the fold after years of working on a PC (employers insisted) but have just purchased a used G4 running OS 10.3.8 I've registered the G4 and everything, and tried to update the OS. I got a "mounting failed" message. It may be because the previous owner left a password in the automatic update file and didn't tell me what it was. Also, they did not provide me with the original installation discs so I could use administrator access to disable this password! Anyway, I want to update the OS as far as it can go - any idea how I can do this? I've searched around the apple site for a while now, seeing if I could purchase replacement installation discs, but can't find any into. If I just go ahead and purchase the 10.4 upgrade, can I install it without upgrading from 10.3.8?
Sorry if these are basic questions, but my last mac was an Apple IIc be kind.

Hello nebpen,
"While the lamp hold out to burn, the vilest sinner may return!"
Welcome back!
As the Texas Mac Man says, you need the install CDs (and Applerescue is a good source). Your DA will run any Apple OS out there at its latest update. I happen to prefer Panther, mostly, I suppose, because it's simpler ... or run them both!
Further, IMHO, the DA is the sweet spot in balancing cost and performance. I'm still feeling my way with upgrades, but every day mine seems to run better. I've just discovered how to adapt an 867mhz QS cpu, so the backup is now running faster than the Main Mac, and I even had to install Tiger (10.4.10) to take advantage of the latest Google Earth. What incredible pictures!
Anyhow, welcome!
Jon

HT1338 I just purchased a used MacBook that is running Mac os X 10.6.8. Many of the things I try to download need newer software, but I can't get it to download. Is there anything I can do?

I just purchase a used MacBook. It is running os 10.6.8. Is there anyway I can upgrade to Lion?

You can upgrade to ML directly from SL. Why do you want Lion? ML=$19.99, Lion=$29.99 (or something like that if I'm not mistaken) but that was when Lion was on the Mac App Store (MAS). Unless you had purchased Lion previously, you won't find it on the MAS. Now, Lion may be available only at  Retail Stores on USB (which would probably be more than $30) or you might have to talk to someone at their online store (some of the posters in the forum have said they were able to order it at the online store-not sure if they got it though)

I have just purchased a used MacBook Pro. Should I use a virus protection program on this computer? I can get Norton for free through my cable provider. Thanks, funkro

See my Mac Malware Guide.
This issue is more complex than some of the responses you have gotten are indicating. You definitely should avoid Norton, but there actually IS malware out there, and all anti-virus software is NOT "snake oil." Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise, as they don't know what they're talking about.
Although you should be able to do without anti-virus software just fine, there are some perfectly good reasons to install it and some good anti-virus apps to use if you decide to do so. Further, even if you do avoid anti-virus software, you need to understand what the threats are so you don't end up thinking you're totally safe and do something you shouldn't.

Setup the account using a computer, and then you can use the account on

I Just purchased a used MacBook Air but it has no OS, how can I re-load the OS?

I Just purchased a used MacBook Air but it has no OS, how can I re-load the OS?

It depends on which operating system was on it when it was released. Older MBAs need disks or a special thumb drive to boot for OS recovery.
Let’s assume it is new enough that it has a recovery partition built in. You can try this and see if it works and if it doesn’t work then it is old enough to need he aforementioned recovery media.
It is simple. First you format the system disk and then you install OS X.
You will need to be in an area with a good wireless Internet signal.
Boot in Recovery Mode:
Power it on and when you hear the bong hold down the Command and R keys simultaneously.
Format the system disk:
> Disk Utility
> Select your system drive.
> Partition
> Partition Layout: 1 Partiton
> Options...
> GUID Partition Table
> OK
> Name: Macintosh HD
> Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
> Apply
> Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility
Install OS X:
> Click on Install OS X and follow the instructions.

Connect it to your computer and restore it as a new device. Then chose what music you want to sync with it and do so just like your Touch does.

If this is what you're talking about: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
Then you get the previous/original owner to unlock it or you get your money back ASAP.

No, you will need to contact the previous owner, he/she is the only person that can remove it from their account : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515

I just purchased a used imac how do I clear then reinstall new os

I just purchased a used imac how do I clear then reinstall new os

Klaus1 is perhaps too brief if you have not done that before:
1. Put first DVD in the optical drive
2. restart and, immediately after chime, press C—this forces boot from CD/DVD, wait until you see Apple logo, then release C key
3. wait until you see the list of install languages, English is default, click ahead and now
4. Go up and choose Utilities, open Disk Utility, and choose to Erase/Format disk, as you wish
5. Close Disk Utilities and you will be redirected to installation proper
6. Go ahead according to what you see on the screen
If you do not have the two DVDs of any mac (bar the very recent ones, with Lion preinstalled), you must get a retail one, perhaps SL would be best or Lion, flash drive version directly. Booting from retail DVD is identical; for flash boot, press Option key after chime, then choose the USB flash disk, you will see it on the screen after several seconds.
The process is simple and logical, do not be afraid, you just need the install DVD or, beginning with Lion, Lion flash drive version. You may of course download the App Store version of Lion, which is at half price approx., but you need another mac to move it to another disk / flash drive in order to install it or do that before you erase the disk which, I understand, has a running system on it.

I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse. Do I need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it?

Hey
So I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse at a Goodwill very inexpensively on the 50/50 chance it would work. Right out of the gate I figured I might need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it, is this the case?
I have a Mac Pro Tower running 10.6.7, but I didn't opt for the Blue Tooth a few years ago when I purchased it. I knew I should've!
Thanks.

Well I purchased the Mac Pro in 2009 I believe. It could've been late 2008, but I can't quite remember. When I ordered it from the Apple store online I customized it. I had the amount of Ram I wanted put into it, and had two hard drives installed. While doing all of my customizations I could've opted to have the Blue Tooth card installed into the computer but for some reason I didn't see myself using it. I did get the generic wired mouse that came with the computer.

Need help installing just-purchased Photoshop Elements 11

I just bought Photoshop Elements 11 at Costco. I want to install on a Mac with no CD drive. I went to download trial version from Adobe (so I could then upgrade to full, purchased version by entering serial number from the box), but the trial version is Photoshop Elements 12.
How can I install the software I just purchased???

You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

Just purchased a used iMac and need to wipe it clean.

I just purchased a 2011 24" iMac used. The previous owner did not remove anything. I would like to wipe it clean before I run Time Machine from an external drive to load my programs, data etc. What is the best way to wipe clean (completely clean) the iMac. Also, would I be better off loading all of the programs from the original CD's rather than Time Machine? I don't know if I could have picked up "stuff" over the years that I don't want brought to this newer machine.
Also, I would like to upgrade to the latest OS Lion. Should I do this first or after the wipe?
Thanks!

Did your iMac come with Lion (10.7) installed or did the seller buy that at the app store?
If the seller purchased it, then you will need the original install DVDs (Snow Leopard), either from the seller or by calling Apple and giving them your serial number. The reason: the license for any OS or app obtained at the app store is not transferable - the seller is obligated to wipe the drive and reinstall the original system. The OS is tied to the Apple ID of the purchaser forever and you will never be able to reinstall.
If it turns out yours came with Lion, the seller was supposed to call Apple and make a transfer of the OS to you.
So, the first thing to do is to figure out which OS version it came with and, if you have the install disks (Snow Leopard), then use them to wipe the drive and reinstall the original system. After that, you can purchase Lion (or Mountain Lion) at the app store using your own Apple ID.
