Removing OS 10 Tiger in Spanish and installing OS 10 tiger in English

I am not aware that it is possible to buy an english language version imac in sunny Spain.
I am living in Spain (but am returning to my native english speaking New Zealand)at the end of this year, and want to "come over" to the other side and buy an apple imac and move on from my PC.
So want to know if it is possible (and if so how), to un-install the spanish language version of Tiger that will come with a spainish bought imac, and install an english language version of the same OS(which I could buy separately) - also are there any other issues.
Any better ideas anyone has as to change the language- short of getting an Easy-jet flight to London and buying it there would be naturally welcome.
cheers

Hi BazMan and welcome to Apple Discussions.
In addition to Mike's advice, when you buy a new Mac and first turn it on, one of the first things you get asked is which language you want. Changing from Spanish to English won't be an issue.
Enjoy your Mac when you get it.

  • Remove Adobe Cloud from my desktop and install on a new computer

    What do I need to do to remove Adobe Cloud from my desktop and install on a new computer?

    Hi G2video,
    I would like to inform that you can install and activate Creative Cloud desktop applications on two computers, regardless of operating system, for the individual associated with the Creative Cloud membership.
    If you've already installed Creative Cloud on 2 machines then you need to deactive it from one of the machine.
    To deactivate, you can click on the product and then go to Help> Deactivate.
    To uninstall the apps follow the link mentioned below:

  • Removing a pirate copy of LR5 and installing CC, Win 7

    My bad, I was duped and installed a pirated copy of lightroom.  I have now purchased CC and want to remove the illegal copy of LR5 and install the legit copy of Lightroom.  Deleting  LR5 hasn't helped as it remembers the old s/n.  So far it doesn't want to remove the s/n of the illegal copy and stops me using plugins.  Any suggestions except reload my complete system

    Lightroom is a different beast. Don't think Cleaner works on it.
    Just delete the registration file in your system. You can find information about it, here: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/perform-silent-installation-lightroom.html
    Look for Lightroom 5.0 Registration.lrreg and delete it.
    It is in a hidden folder, so be sure to follow this document, first: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=windows-7

    My iPhone 4S has a problem. The App Store is in Spanish and will not go back to English. Help someone!

    I tried turning the computer off and then back on. The alerts don't show the notice to update as resolved. Hopefully this is not a problem or an indicator or another problem. Should I ignore or reload 10.10.1 from the app store to trigger a resolved check in a green circle?
    Interesting that I had to buy server software after my free Yosemite download. I would have hoped that the two pieces of software would have gone together without any complication. It is not positive to end up buying a problem. Ah well, time to move on.

  • How do I remove Vista from Satellite U400 PSU44E and install Win XP

    Because much of my specialist software is designed to work with XP pro I need to remove Vista Home Premium from my U400 and install XP Pro. As others have found with other Toshiba models simply placing XP disk in the DVD drive results in 'the dreaded blue screen' with error code 0X0000007B (0XF78D2524, etc etc) and comments about hard drive properly configured / check for viruses/run Chdsk/F to check for corruption.
    Changing HDD BIOS from AHCI to compatability mode allows XP disk to load and run as far as 'Press enter to load XP' but pressing 'Enter' does nothing; pressing other keys has no effect either and the only way out I have found is to press and hold down the On/Off button. Also re changing from 'AHCI' to 'Compatability ' there are many comments on other Internet fora suggesting that using Compatability mode makes disk access much slower than the AHCI mode. However despite searching the Web using Tosh HDD Model Referencee No (MK3252GSX) I cannot find a XP ATA driver to nLite into XP before trying again.
    Can anyone tell me a procedure they have used to strip off Vista and replace it with XP Pro on te U400 PSU44E please?

    A friend of me has a Satellite U400 too. He installed Windows XP in AHCI mode and he doesnt have any problems.
    As Juan28 posted you can integrate the drivers by using nLite. This tool is freeware and pretty easy to use. You need only the original Microsoft installation disk and the SATA drivers that you can download on the Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    If you dont want nLite you need an external FDD. After booting from CD you must press F6 to load the drivers from the FDD.
    I prefer nLite because so I dont need an external FDD.
    Furthermore I have read in the forum that the AHCI mode is a little bit faster as the compatible mode but in compatible mode you dont need any additional drivers for SATA.

  • What is the best way to remove elements 10 from one pc and install it on another?

    What steps need to be taken to remove Adobe Elements 10 from one pc and install it on another?

    Use back up and restore from the Organizer menu. You are permitted two activations so no real need to deactivate the old copy unless you have installed it previously on another machine.

  • Remove/replace SL 10.6.2 and install 10.5.x

    I have noticed many slowdowns since I went to Snow Leopard! Is there a simple way (for a 75 year old) to de-install/replace SL? BTW, Firefox takes at least 35 seconds to boot and to change windows, Entourage takes 10-20 seconds longer to open and close, etc.
    I have reset the PRAM, repaired permissions from the install disk, etc. w/ no improvement.
    I have a external HD w/ 10.5.7 and these problems do not exist when I start up w/ it.
    Thanks, Jack

    Doing an Archive and Install is a major last resort. Don't do it. You are very likely to end up with an untenable system.
    There is no completely easy way. Below is the best way. Note that you may end up with some issues carried forward from Snow, but we can work on those latter, if any.
    You will need your original Leo install DVD to return to Leo. Before doing so, I would make a bootable clone of my Snow boot volume on an external drive for purposes of backup, migration, and fail-safe--even if you have a TM backup. Your only probably trouble-free way of returning to Leo is erase and install. In summarized form, here is how I would proceed in making my clone and erasing and installing.
    Make clone using Disk Utility (DU):
    1. Start up from your Leopard install DVD by holding down C when starting up.
    2. Choose your language and use the menus at the top of the next screen to start DU.
    3. Start DU;
    4. Drag your internal volume to the source box;
    5. Drag your external partition (or volume) to the destination box;
    6. Choose Erase Destination (if you are forced to do so to restore); and
    7. Click restore.
    It will take an hour, more or less. Test your clone afterward to make sure you can boot from it.
    Erase and install using Disk Utility (DU):
    1. Start up from your Leopard install DVD by holding down C when starting up.
    2. Choose your language and use the menus at the top of the next screen to start DU. Use DU to produce a clean install by erasing your drive Mac extended (journaled). Quit DU, and continue your installation.
    3. At the end of your installation use Setup Assistant (which will start automatically), to migrate your users, settings, data, and apps from your clone to your new installation.
    4. Repair permissions when you have completed all installations.

  • Removing Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0, and installing newer 7.0.9 version

    My IMAC with Panther 10.3.9 has Acrobat reader 5.0. This appears in Finder>Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder. I find that the lastest version of the reader for my system is 7.0.9, per Adobe's website in the reader download section. I downloaded version 7.0.9, which appeared to have occurred without problems. When I went back to Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder, the folder still indicated 5.0, not 7.0.9. Not convinced 7.0.9 was actually implemented, I moved the Adobe Acrobat 5.0 folder from Applications to Trash. And yes I emptied the trash. I then downloaded 7.0.9 from Adobe's website again. The download again appeared to have occurred correctly. There is no sign of Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 in Applications, nor is the 5.0 folder there since I put it in trash. Why did I want to upgrade the reader version in the first place? Some PDF files that I tried to download wouldn't. This is the first time that I have encountered PDF files that would not download in readable format. The PDF help section of the website indicated I needed the lastest version of Acrobat reader to successfully download the PDF files. Since I did have an older version, the version upgrade was attempted. Where do I go from here?

    Hello AC,
    You were very close to being completely correct. The downloadreader.pkg opened by itself, but what I did not do after that was double click an icon that said Acrobat reader installer. Once I did double click that icon, additional installation activities occurred, and sure enough, Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 now appears in Applications. Thanks.

  • Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro?  From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended.  But how/where?

    Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro?  From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended.  But how/where?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
    There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

  • How to properly clean install: erase, partition hard drive, and install tiger then SL

    Hello,
         I am a noob at this, so if responders would be kind enough to be detailed / specific with any instructions it would be most helpful! I own a dinosaur apparently (even though I don't think so): the white (not unibody) Intel macbook2,1 (late 2006) 1.83 GHz with currently 1GB of RAM, but I have 2x2GB RAM sitting next to me ready for install. However, first I would like to do a clean uninstall of my computer (running OS X 10.6.8 SL). I also would like to properly partition my hard drive while I'm at it.
         About 6 months ago I had serious crashing issues, along with kernel panics, hangs, applications randomly appearing & disappearing, system settings and options doing the same, fans running high (probably due to the low RAM available), and basically overall screwiness. So, after trying pretty much every option I could find on this community...and many others... (e.g. clean cache, clean old logs, already did a clean uninstall and install of SL, and much much more) I have reached my wits end. I would say that to date I've wasted a good solid 2 months with this.
         The clean install worked for MAYBE a month or so, but then it started acting up again with the fans (even without high pages in/out, CPU or memory usage) and excessive heat, along with the apps freezing and quitting (mind you it would be only two things open such as 1 word document and then firefox-- with flash disabeled). SOOOOOO long story short, I have purchased new RAM and I would like to try this once again, but to ensure I don't screw it up this time I would like some directions as to how to do the uninstall, partition, then reinstall. (currently to date I ensured all updates are completed---even though they are no longer released for SL, and I just did a full backup).
         Also, I need to first install Tiger (my original OS) as when I went to do a hardware test the other day this was not an option (and upon further research it is due to me not using Tiger as a first install and then using my mac box set for SL). I didn't use my original OS first because....one issue encountered when I had tried to install Tiger was that my Disc 2 (the applications one) took around 1.5 hrs to complete, but when I reached the last step of glory where I expected it to say COMPLETE it instead said that there was some sort of issue with the disc..........of course).
         Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1: If near a Apple Store or Authorized Repair, take it to then for a free evaluation, it might have other hardware problems now that it would be a waste of effort even continuing.
    2: The RAM needs to be
    Maximum Memory
    3.0 GB (Actual) 2.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
    Basically what this means is you can put in a 2GB module and a 1GB module for 3GB total.
    I wouldn't proceed with installing RAM just yet, not until you get a stable OS X version on the machine, you might have a hard drive needing to be replaced as well which you can do while inserting new RAM.
    3: This User Tip can assist in installing 10.6 Snow Leopard, partition format etc.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    Software Update fully immediately after setup.
    There is no need to install Tiger, he 10.6 disk contains the full 10.6 version, you can either install the iLife from Tiger disks or use Pacifist from Charlesoft to extract them and place on your new install, then Software update to get them current.
    4: If not successful then the drive also likely needs to be replaced, if so choose a 7,200 RPM SATA I  w/1.5Gb/s connection.
    Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
    Repeat #3
    If your getting beeping noises or "you need to restart" issues, it's likely one or more of the RAM modules is bad. Have it exchanged or swapped.
    I advise good quality RAM the first time, if you buy cheap stuff it's just going back.
    Don't go any further than 10.6.8 with that old machine, the performance will be terrible.

  • Cannot view InfoPath Form on SHarePoint 2013 since I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive For Business

    I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive for Business on my laptop. After that, I had problems opening a Word and Excel document in a SharePoint site (SP2013). After installing Service Pack2 from Office2010, this problem is solved. 
    But I still have the same problem with InfoPath. Whenever I click an InfoPath form (I have InfoPath 2010 on my laptop),...
    ... I get the error "cannot display web page".
    When I change the URL 
    ms-infopath:ofe|u|http://intranet.water-link.be/samenwerken/awwit/Autorisaties/Gebruikersbeheer/2015-02-25%20Aanvraag%20gebruikersbeheer%20voor%20Stephanie%20Geeraerts.xml

    I can open the InfoPath form and read it.
    Any ideas about how to fix this ? I already tried to restore the Office 2010 via Control Panel - Install Programs but without any success... 

    Hi Gert,
    As I understand, you can’t open InfoPath form in SharePoint 2013 unless you change the URL without “ms-infopath:ofe|u|”.
    There are some reasons which maybe cause this issue, and you can try to do things below:
    Access CA -> General Application Settings -> Configure InfoPath Form Service -> Check the two options in User Browser-enabled Form Templates.
    Go into the registry by typing regedit from the Run line and rename the SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5 key (ex. SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5.old) under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
    In library settings, click "relink documents to this library".

  • Trying to do an erase and install on an IBook with original Tiger Disk

    Hi, I just bought a used IBook from a friend, got for super cheap and knew I was taking a risk since it wouldnt start up.
    I'm not even sure if its a G3 or G4 IBook, its white and it all it says on the laptop is IBook Model number A1007.
    Anyway, it didnt come with any disks so I took my Install disk from my G5, the main Tiger disk and ran disk repair and permissions and all of that, it didnt find any issues with the disk.
    So I chose to do a complete erase and install which appeared to work fine, but when I start it up it starts the setup process where you enter in your name, address and all that and I get to the part where I go to enter my apple ID and thats right about where the laptop freezes every time. The screen kinda flickers for a second and then it is seized up completely.
    any ideas on how to resolve this?
    Do I need to track down an original install disk for an IBook G3 or G4 or is it the same thing as I am using now? If I need an install disk for my specific model where can I get one?
    Thanks,
    Brown.Recluse

    Hi brownrecluse;
    You can't use the G5 install media on the iBook because they are hardware specific. You will need to get the retail Tiger install media to do that provided the iBook meets the mimimum requirements of Tiger.
    Besides that installing again would be illegal anyway.

  • How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it.  Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple.  While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows).  You will also not be able to install firmware updates.  Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific.  You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update.  You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it.  At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive.
