Restore MBPro to boot to Welcome video

I'm selling my rMBPro and wanted to restore it so that it booted to the original Apple "Welcome" video, but I can't see to get there.
The rMBPro came with Lion and I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and after a couple of restores from the RECOVERY drive when I reboot it goes straight to the Country screen, skipping the "Welcome" intro altogether.
Any way to remedy?
Thx,

Press Command, Option and R keys in boot, open Disk Utility, erase the disk and install. When the install finishes, shut down the Mac

Where is the First Boot Welcome Video on OS X Lion located?

Is the video which says Welcome in different languages (the first time you boot up your mac) in OS X Lion? If it is, where is it? If it isn't, can someone with the video email it to me at [email protected]? I will be very grateful for any replies!

I don't remember seeing a welcome video when I set up this macbook pro.
May not be there is one.

Office 365 ProPlus Disable Welcome Video

Guys - is there a way to disable the Office 365 ProPlus welcome video that displays on first use? The video/splash screen that welcomes them and talks about social sharing, OneDrive etc.
thanks!

Hi,
Please try to disable this in Group Policy Management Editor. If you didn't install the Office 2013 Administrative Template files, please download it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35554
Using the Group Policy Management Editor go to User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Microsoft Office 2013 | First Run
Set the Disable First Run Movie to Enabled. You can also configure Disable Office First Run on application boot
to Enabled to disable the first run info.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Clean Snow Leopard Install yields the Welcome Video to loop continuously

Has anyone seen this before?
Mac Mini (MA468LL/A) with a clean Snow Leopard Install. After I kicked off the install, I returned an hour later to find the Welcome Video looping continuously. There is a brief moment at the beginning (or end of the video) when I can move the mouse on the screen with a grey background.
Now, no keyboard combo's work at bootup. I can't boot to the DVD again, I can't clear the NVRAM, etc. I can eject the DVD, but only when the unit is looping the video.
Any help would be appreciated, Please!
PS - The only thing different from a typical install was this - I deleted the previous Leopard partition using the the Disk Utilities.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
After ejecting the DVD and shutting down your Mac, can you restart normally? If so, then you could wipe the partition again and re-install.
Also, have you tried starting in single user mode. At the prompt type fsck -fyremember to leave a blank space before the "-fy".
This will run a file system check, like Repair Disk and repair any problems if it can. If you run into errors run fsck multiple times until it reports OK.
Then, type rebootreboot to restart to OS X.

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like app, music and videos. Thus, you wll have to resync those back to your iPod.
If necessary you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Does anyone know what software was used for Mac Welcome Video?

As you may remember when you turned your mac on for the first time, a ver neat welcome video played with upbeat music. Well I just wanted to know if anybody knew what program(s) was used to make it. If you know or have any idea please tell me. Thanks!

Hi and welcome to discussions. I tried to find something about it, but was not successful. I would guess though that this has been made using some of Apple's own software, everything else would not really make sense. And there actually is one tool in the portfolio capable of creating something like that: Motion. So, as an educated guess, I would say that's the one.

I do not have the Firefox button in the top left hand corner as shown in the welcome video. This button seems paramount to carry out many of the features. How do I get it?

In the welcome video there is an orange Firefox button in the top left hand corner - I do not have one. This button appears to be central to the use of Firefox.

The Firefox Button acts as an alternative to the regular menubar (File, Edit, View etc.), so if you can see the menu bar you're not missing any functionality.
On Windows XP the default is for the menubar to be shown instead of the Firefox button, but you can switch between the button and the menubar via the View -> Toolbars -> Menu bar option.
With the Button enabled, you can access the regular menubar by pressing the Alt key.

Hey good day. i recently made a back up on my phone. then i took some pictures and videos. i accidentally restored the phone. some pictures and videos including pictures from my third party application were all gone. can i still have those back?

No. If you restored the device to an older backup, then the device was brought back to that date and time, which was before those photos were taken. When you restored the device, it deleted everything off the phone and replaced it with the earlier information.

Can't get past the Welcome video - It loops over and over

Short and skinny
I bought a family pack
Installed on Intel iMac by clicking continue all the way through. Which makes it an upgrade right? That went flawlessly and all is good.
Now the problem.
I have a Intel MacBook that I tried to install Leopard on. I did want a fresh install because I just wanted to start from scratch. So I changed the option to do that. Started the installed and got the big check mark at the end of it. When I went to click "Continue" and it froze up. The countdown timer stopped at 23 sec. left and it sat there for 10 mins. frozen. I held the power button till it shut down. Turned it back on. I got the welcome video and then it asked to select language for the install.
No matter what I did, once I clicked the mouse button to contine, the pin wheel spins for a few seconds and the video starts over again. I did it about 10 times and it never passed that point.
I restarted it a few times with the same results. I thought I would try and do another install from scratch. I restarted it again holding down the C key till I got the first screen of the install. It let me select the options I wanted and continued to the install. After about 15 mins. or so it stopped and a screen popped up with a bunch of code on it. Tried THIS about 2 more times and by now it was about 3am and I was tired. I shut it down and this is where I am at. Its at home and I can't mess with it till I get off work.
Any advice on what I might try when I get home about 8pm tonight will be most helpful.
Thx, Jim

Any help???

Restoring Lenovo BMGR boot manager

I recently installed Linux on my T430 to dual boot with Windows 7 64-bit. I later learned that when Linux installs GRUB, it overwrites the boot loader within the MBR, and the boot loader for the T430, named BMGR, is specific to the ThinkPad. I would appreciate any help on how I might restore the BMGR boot loader, if possible.
Complicating this issue is the fact that I also installed a clean version of Windows 7, and I cannot find the file bmgr32.exe (which from other resources I've read seems necessary). I did this prior to installing Linux.
Why I need to do this: I have learned that I need the BMGR in order to install Lenovo's Rescue & Recovery software (Otherwise you get the error: "Error 25014..... Return code: 6" during installation.) I would like to burn the Lenovo Recovery partition to disc and remove it to free up a partition for a shared data partition for Linux and Windows (The T430 came with 3 primary partitions: SYSTEM, Windows 7, and Lenovo Recovery). Thus, my need to restore the BMGR.
Thanks for the help.
- Ben

Unless I have an explanation as to why, I'm going to keep trying. From my understanding, restoring the BMGR will make this possible, as my Lenovo_Recovery partition has not been altered on my machine. Possibly this is done with bmgr32.exe? If so, is Lenovo willing to pass that executable along to its customers in the case that the customer has accidentally removed it, such as mine?

No Welcome Video or Registration

Hello,
While this is a minor problem compared to some of the rough stories I see upon a quick search (which also yielded nothing in relation to my topic) it still ****** me off. Upon upgrading from Tiger to Leopard, the welcome video did not play. I was quite looking forward to it. I was going to reinstall, but now I do not have enough hard drive space to do so. I thought maybe the video only played for entirely new computers and not upgrades, but I saw a few youtube videos that showed upgrades and showed the welcome video, followed by a registration and some software updates, which I also did not get.
Given a quick glance, everything seems to have installed fine, but having the video not play gives me a sort of unsatisfied/maybe something didn't go right feel. Anyone else experience this? Should I clear some space and reinstall?

If you have an external HD, just pretend you are installing on it, up to the movie. Then trash it.
Reinstalling Leopard just to see a movie is courting danger

Where is the "welcome" video?

On my MacBooks first start, there was a little welcome video that is used to set up the laptop, does anyone know the name of it? I'm trying to find it in spotlight.

Have a look at
/System/CoreServices/Setup Assisiant/Contents/Resources/TransitionSection.bundle/Contents/Resources/intro. mov
Not sure if it will work (I am on a PC at the moment)
I got this from http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=67316.
Google is fantastic

To delete or at least to mute the Welcome video in...

Hi:
I would like how I can delete (or at least mute) the Nokia Welcome Video that appears after you enter your PIN in a N70.
I did change the welcome to a personal message, but the Welcome Video keeps appearing everytime I enter the PIN.
Thanks
Alberto

Tony T1. Thanks that's great for my Desktop. Do you know the answer for how to do the same thing on the iPad 2?
