Pre-install for Christmas present.

I'm giving an imac as a christmas present and would like to pre-install some word processing and games programs onto it, but leave everything intact so that come christmas day, after the experience of the apple welcome animation and account registration, the applications are already inside ready to work and play. is pre-installing programs possible on a mac (presumably under leopard)?

In addition to DaddyPaycheck's comments, you'd have to create an admin account and password to install software. This admin account and password may not be named as the user wants. It would also obviate booting into Setup Assistant.

What are these pre-installed Lenovo programs?

Where can I find info on what all the programs are that are pre-installed with a new Lenovo? And how can I uninstall them, if I want to completely get rid of them?

Hello donkey,
please also refer to this extensive Thinkpad Superguide.
I would recommend do not uninstall all the programs, especially Thinkvantage.
Pc Doctor is Lenovo´s system checker tool. Leave it.
McAfee should be a trial version, if you don´t have purchased it with your machine. (Antivir, AVG are good and free solutions for private use.
Agilix Gobinder seems a e-learning solution. May you have bought a students version?
Skype should be clear, don´t know if it will be usefull to you.

No Pre-Installed HP Programs After Reset

After upgrading to Windows 10, my system was slow and buggy. For instance, the start menu would not open. So, I used the reset system option under "recovery" in settings, and selected remove everything. After resetting, I noticed a lot of things were gone, such as pre-installed HP programs. HP Recovery Manager is not installed, but I still have the D: Recovery Drive. I noticed that my graphics drivers for the switchable graphics in the notebook probably were not the pre-installed HP ones that work for this PC. Can anyone here suggest a solution?

figured it out. Turned off the wireless printer and turned it back on. Hit add in printer sys prefs. It 'saw' the printer and added it. Now prints fine.
Yes!!!!!!

How to reinstall pre-installed iWorks after hard drive replaced?

iWork was pre-installed on my iMac (July 2010) 3.2 gHz i3 running OS10.6.8. The original hard drive was recalled by Apple and replaced. I backed up all data to Crash Plan prior to the change out. When I tried to open any of the iWorks programs I received the following error message:
I checked my install discs and application install discs, but iWork does not show up there. How can reinstall these programs?

Thanks, mate, but the computer did not come with any iWork DVD. It only had the OS install disc and the Application restore disc, neither of which contain iWork. The error message reads: "Pages cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Pages works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X. Clic Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
I sent a report to Apple. This message repeats for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. My original receipt shows the iWork app was paid for.

Brand new 2011 macbook pro (preinstalled lion osx) is too slow! Is there anyway to role back to previous OS if it came pre-installed?

I purchased new macbook pro 15" with quad core 2.2 ghz intel i7, 8gb of ram. I swear to god it is slower than my previous 2008 macbook running leopard OS. I use heavy programs pretty often, adobe CS5 and 3D modeling and some rendering on the mac side and and a bit of 3D work with fusion on windows. I was really expecting a performance boost with the new computer, but Lion is annoyingly slow. Even if I am not using any of the heavy stuff and just browsing on the internet, it seems noticeably slower than the 2008 macbook. Typing lags sometimes, genie effect and opening effect lags. The iOS type features are also sluggish. I am about ready to start working again on my old macbook on leopard. I haven't had any issues with the machine completely freezing (though I have had to force quit apps a few times). It is definitely a usable machine, but for the price and newness I expect the performance to be better than the 2008 macbook. From what I have read on the forums, I am blaming the buggy Lion OS for my troubles. I figured the OS might still have some bugs as it was brand new, but this is more than I bargained for.
Does anyone know if it is possible to role back to Snow Leopard? I have heard it can't be done if the computer came pre-installed with Lion OS, but surely some clever people have figured a way...

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
I am not using Filevault, and the closest genius bar is 4 hours away, so I am trying to figure out a solution via internet. I will check out the Fusion update, though I expect that to be slow (that is the price you pay for running windows on a mac!)
I am surprised you havent noticed the resume/restore windows, docs, and apps feature (for both subsequent openings of program and reboot of system- new to Lion OS) I use the term feature lightly as they didnt seem to work properly initially, like they had cached older stuff than when I actually quit an app or shut down. After the first couple of times of the computer stalling trying to reopen an application with a heavy document or restarting and trying to open EVERY program I had used the day before, I disabled the features. To disable required a bit of a hack with Terminal.
to disable on restart:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/25/disable-reopen-windows-when-logging-back-in-in-ma c-os-x-lion-completely/
to disable resuming applications:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/18/disable-mac-os-x-lion-resume-window-restore/
--only that doesn't really work (which if you scroll through the comments below you will see what people post about it) I had to expose the hidden library, delete some stuff there, and run some stuff in terminal to get this feature totally disabled, blah blah blah.
These seem like good ideas, but definitely need some tweaking to work properly. I like the iOS features in Mission Control, but the lagging animations are absolutely unacceptable. Even dragging an icon across starts out jerky and sluggish. I never noticed any issue with the OS animations on the 2008 Macbook running Leopard.
Anyway, there are known compatibility issues with Lion and Adobe Creative Suite. Adobe CS5 products are what I use most often, so I would like to role back to Snow leopard, though it is reported that Apple has made that impossible on the new machines that shipped with Lion.

How do I remove the pre-installed Microsoft Office software from my T61 running XP-Pro?

I've reviewed the Lenovo support item on uninstall instructions but it does not say how to get the software off of my hard drive. Here's the Lenovo item.
To properly uninstall Microsoft Office 2007 Trial from the Lenovo preload, the following applications must be removed.
2007 Microsoft Office System
Activation Assistant for the 2007 Microsoft Office Suites
Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007
Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components
Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies
Microsoft Office Small Business Connectivity Components
MS SQL Server 2005
MS SQL Server Native Client
MS SQL Server Setup Support Files
MS SQL Server VSS Writer
Uninstalling the Microsoft Office 2007 Office System will not remove all the components.
Uninstalling Business Contact Manager for Outlook will also uninstall MS SQL Server Components. During the uninstall routine, it will ask to delete the mail data file that contains the Business Contact Manager. Clicking OK, will remove the BCM, but not the SQL server apps, as the uninstall states.
From this point uninstall:
Activation Assistant,
MS Office 2003 Web Components
MS Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies,
MS Office Small Business Connectivity Components.
Then remove the MS SQL Server Components of server native client, server setup support files, and VSS writer.
Then remove the Activation Assistant shortcut from the desktop.
The first 3 apps listed are not installed because I have not run the activation assistant for the Office trial that came with the T61. Add/Remove programs has only these pre-installed apps:
Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components
Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies
Microsoft Office Small Business Connectivity Components
MS SQL Server 2005
MS SQL Server Native Client
MS SQL Server Setup Support Files
MS SQL Server VSS Writer
Is the activation assistant one of them? I want to inactivate it because it is occasionally triggered somehow. Besides unintalling those preinstalled apps, I want to take all of the Office components off of my hard disk.
Add/Remove also has these apps but I'm thinking they are not part of Office -- please correct me if I'm wrong
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB928366)
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1
Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard 1.52
FYI, I am using Lotus Suite and OpenOffice.
How do I tidy this up without creating more trouble? Thanks in advance for suggestions.

No, AFAIK should be listed as Microsoft Office Suite Activation Assistant

How do I go back to OS 10.6.8 on an iMac with OS 10.7.3 pre-installed?

Hi, I bought an Apple refurbished iMac (late 2011, i5 processor) to replace my dying 2005 iMac. It came with OS 10.7.3 pre-installed and no installation discs. I want to go back to OS 10.6.8 to be compatable with ProTools LE 8.05.
I have a Snow Leopard Mac Box Set. The installation disc is OS 10.6.3. When I try to start the new iMac from the Box Set installation disc, I get an error message:
"You can't use this version of the application install mac OSX with this version of Mac OS X. You have install Mac OS X 23.1.1"
Can anyone suggest a way for me to revert from OS 10.7.3 to OS 10.6.8?
Thanks,
Greg

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid this might be the case. However, I think the new refurbished iMac must have originally come with earlier version of the OS and 10.7.3 was installed during the repairs. I found a work-around:
- Made a disc image of the iMac running 10.6.8 and saved it to an external drive
- Connected the external drive to the new iMac
- Started the new iMac from the emergency partition created by 10.7 (Command R while starting)
- Used Disc Utility to erase the main partition of the new iMac and install the disc image of the old iMac
The new iMac now restarts in OS 10.6.8 and all the programs open. Not the ideal solution, but it worked.

Pre-installed Windows Media?

Does the iMac (10.5.1) come with any Windows Media programs/files, etc. pre-installed? This question is asked because TechTool Pro 4.6.1 identifies minor problems with files in this area. I installed Windows Media upon the first day of using the iMac, and I recall that the installation didn't proceed smoothly --- and I'm now using RealAudio Player. I'd like to uninstall all files/programs related to Windows Media (and possibly attempt reinstallation from scratch at some later date).
What I'd like to know is if any of the Windows Media files should be left on the HD.
Does typing "media" in the Finder "Search" identify all that is associated with Windows Media?

The Mac doesn't come pre-installed with anything Windows Media related, no.
In fact, Windows Media Player is no longer supported (or even distributed) by Microsoft. It's not a universal binary either. They provide a link so you can get Telestream's Flip4Mac for free. I'd recommend trying/using that rather than using WMP or Real -- go to the WMP site and you'll see a download link.

Pre installed lion repair without Internet connection

Hello
I am having a nightmare, Purchased a brand spanking new 27inch with Lion pre - installed three weeks ago,I like to reinstall to get rid of Garageband and such that I dont need or use, to do this you need to use Recovery HD and then it will reinstall without those mentioned and it will allow you to download them via appstore if and when you want to put them on, fine, however if you have intermitant broadband issues like I and many others have or no broadband at all you are screwed!!! if something bad happens and you need to reinstall and have no internet connection how the **** are you supposed to repair, I spoke with a chap from applecare who understood my predicament,who expalined the following if such a case arises:
1. Take it to a friend who as a internet connection so it can download the lion to be repaired or reinstalled .
2. Take it to a apple re seller to so it can download the lion to be repaired or reinstalled .
3. To burn a copy to a USB to run lion from???
4. Check the internet for alternative methods to create a thumb drive.
Great stuff hey : )...
I explained to him that the Mac had cost me around £1500 so at least I should have the option of downloading a copy from the app store so I could burn to usb, I was told I should be able to do this but then got back to a day later to explain that because it was pre installed I dont have it on my app store account and I only have the Hidden Recovery Partion that needs the internet.
I dont know about you guys but I like to have my own copy to repair and install if any scenario arises, let's say I live in the country and have no internet connection and my mac suddenly stops working, what I would do on my old mac is to boot to dvd and repair or reinstall, not a option here I am afraid,because if you dont have a internet connection you cannot repair. I was told I can either buy a copy from the app store and then burn to USB or order the Lion on a USB thumb drive thus costing more money, it's the principal of paying for Lion when they should allow you to download it free from your account as you have paid for the system in the cost of the Imac.
Below are the ways of making a thumb drive that involves purchasing Lion to begin with:
Option 1: Put a full bootable Lion installation on the USB Drive with a recovery partition.
What you need: an 8G thumb drive and OS X Lion from the App Store.
What you get: A USB stick you can boot off and repair your Lion installation from.
Download the Lion installer from Apple App Store. DO NOT INSTALL IT ONTO YOUR COMPUTER OR THE INSTALLER WILL DELETE ITSELF. MAKE A COPY OF THE INSTALLER. If you have already installed it and it has deleted itself, go back into the App store and click on ‘purchases’ and next to Lion it will say ‘Installed’. Now option-click on ‘purchases’ and ‘installed’ will change to ‘install’ so that you can re-download the installer.
Format your Thumbdrive using a GUID Partition Table, and ‘ Mac OS Extended (Journaled)’, then you can run the Lion installer and install Lion onto the thumb drive.
More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Option 2: Create a Lion Recovery Disk.
You’ll only need a 4G USB Drive for this option.
What you get: A USB stick you can repair your Lion installation from, but not run Lion from.
If your Macintosh has an existing Lion Recovery partition (this will be the case if Lion came pre-installed on your machine when you purchased your computer from Apple), you can use this method. It will not be a full installer but it will use the internet to install Lion onto another computer. It involves downloading a program from apple called ‘Lion Recovery Disk Assistant’
More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433
To test if you have a Lion recovery partition, Just hold down Command-R during startup and Lion will give you the option of going into recovery mode if the recovery partition is there.
Option 3: Make a Lion Installation USB Thumb drive like the one you buy from Apple.
What you get: A USB stick you can install Lion from – like the one that comes from Apple.
You’ll need an 8G USB thumbdrive.
1. Purchase and download the Lion Installer via the App store as in Option 1 above.
2. Right-click on the installer and select “Show Package Contents” and find the file called ”InstallESD.dmg” in the SharedSupport folder.
3. Use Disk Utility to ‘Restore’ this dmg file to a thumb drive to make a Lion Installation USB drive like you buy from the Apple Store. (the thumb drive must first be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with GUID Partition Table.)
What are your opinions on this, please don't have a go, I am pointing out a flaw and a bloody great at that in my opinion.
Cheers
J

By the way I am not having a go at Apple just pointing out a scenario I am going through at the moment and if anyone else is having the same issue, and I am aware that you dont need to reinstal Lion to trash Garageband, I would like to know your thoughts and alternatives apart from the ones mentioned above.
Cheers Peeps

Can not open any adobe products even pre installed ones on new samsung 15in Ativ9 i5 2014

I have been trying to install AI CC onto my new laptop with no success. I try to run as admin it won't work. I try and delete using Adobe Cleaner software and then re install and it still won't work. Then I tried to open the Adobe photoshop elements 11 that is pre installed on this lap top and that still won't work! I am thinking there is some wrong with my settings on windows 8. Any help would be much appreciated!

first try, http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/cc-applications-crash-immediately-launch.html
if that doesn't help:
    Un-install all cc including the desktop app
    run the cleaner, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and find SLCache and delete it.
    Go to: C:\ProgramData\Adobe and find SLStore and delete it.
    Restart.
    Install Adobe CC.

Photoshop elements 6 (pre-installed)...serial nr???

I bought a PackardBell laptop (2007 I think) Easynote ME35 with pre-installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 6. Worked well till yesterday.
Since yesterday I am asked for a serial-number to enter the program. I have no number... Solution???

If you did not receive an installation disc with the computer (it should have the serial number on the disc cover) for the preinstalled software you will need to connect with the manufacturer to see if they can provide a download for the software along with serial number information.

New Mac Book w/Lion. Can't find Pages or Keynote. Won't run with the old 09. Doesn't it come pre installed?

Old Mac Book hard drive failure. New Mac Book Pro w/Lion pre installed. Restored from back up but Pages and Kenote has error/ problem with software. I'm assuming it's out of date. Doesn't Lion come w/these programs or am I missing something?

No, Mountain Lion does not come with iWork programs. Check your account in the App Store and see if you can download them. If not you'll need to purchase them.

Do we need all those software pre-installed with N...

If you look at the application manager after you install V30 firmware, you will see that there are many software pre-installed with it.
When the phone starts, the main standby screen goes out for a second now, and it is obvious that these programs use alot of phone's resources.
Do you keep them? Or have you already deleted them? If you have, which ones? Do you think we need them? Or if we deleted them the phone might not work properly?
I just think that those software use alot of phone's resources. They were not there with V20 or V21.
Any Suggestions? Thank You.

I know I have noticed it once or twice but it doesn't bother me really. As long as it only does it on the standby screen and not while watching a video, for example (which is the case as far as I can see), I'm not really sure what the problem is. And yes, the screen does go blank for a second or two at startup, but there too it's only once so it doesn't bother me either.
A lot of the software can be got rid of. You can start by uninstalling N-gage if you don't have any intention of using it. That will also get rid of a certain number of other things in the application manager. I also got rid of the "Welcome!" application and the "settings wizard". All in all that'll removed about 15MB of stuff.
This screen refreshing does seem to be doing it only on "Standby Screen." Not during other activities such as watching a video or something. But it is so rare, so nothing really bothering though. I just wanted to let people know not to panic, that's all. You may see it someday.
About uninstalling software, what about those weird programs like adlib, stuff like that. Do you think I can delete everything on Application Manager?

How to burn a DVD-Video out of iMovie without iDVD (pre-installed Lion)?

I am wondering how I could burn a DVD that works on standalone DVD players out of iMovie since iDVD has been banished from Macs with pre-installed OS X 10.7 Lion.
When I try to export iMovie projects to iDVD the machine naturally cannot find the program. How is the workaround instead?
Thx for your help (Mac newbie).

I have the same issue as olifinger

I was curious to know, how well does "burn" work? Please advise, thanks
