Revert to first time setup after updates to 10.4.11 ??

Just sold my G4 450 Dual and I offered to do a fresh install of 10.4.11 but I don't know how to get there from original 10.4 disks. Is there a way to start up , enter info, get online and do updates, then revert to first-time setup with the welcome screen??

    I’ve tried to update my i-Tunes version after the site suggested I should following my i-Pad Air being plugged into it for the first time. The update seemed successful but the program would not open at all despite switching off the PC and re-starting several times. I then tried wiping the original software from the computer and re-downloading from scratch. Each time I tried the download failed with a message saying “Service “Apple Mobile Device” failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services” At this stage, the only way forward was to “abort” the download. This I have done now four times and the same thing happens. When I did finally manage to get an i-Tunes shortcut on my desktop, the program wouldn’t open saying: “i-Tunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install i-Tunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)” Any ideas to resolve this?

  • IPad 2 7.0.4 randomly goes back into first time setup

    I have had my iPad 2 for 2 years now and I've been very happy with it, however last week I installed 7.0.4 and it forced my iPad to go into the first time setup (like what you see when you restore) and I lost all my settings, but I thought it was a one time thing the update wanted. Now, I picked it up and it wanted to go over the setup again, and again it deleted all my settings and apps. No one has touched it other than me, and the last time I used it was to listen to some music yesterday. The iPad had 75% battery when I picked it up and at no time did the battery die on it. This is very frustrating and it all started when I updated to 7.0.4.
    Has anyone else see this and if so what can I do to stop it?

    Back it up and restore it through iTunes.

  • How to go back to first time setup assistant?

    Hi, 1st time mac user.  I just missed to migrate my PC data to my MBA during the first time setup.  As I wanted to keep my mails and it's setting from my PC to the initial mac user account, is restoring my MBA to it's factory setting the only way?
    Please help!

    Thanks!  The url does offer excellent advice.
    In the end, I did a clean install (factory default) and start all over again.
    Since then, I've been pretty much disarray as I found out half of my outlook mails didn't get port over.

  • Problems with first time setup

    Hi to all and please be kind to this new applee.  I am vary familar with Windows but not Apple.
    I am having problems with first time setup.  Choice wifi network ZAJ34 has full connectino bars but requires a password to connect with it.  Tried to use "Connect to iTunes" and plugged in the USB cable.  Windows7 ran ok and "MyComputer\Apple iPod" shows up in Explorer.  All I get to is the screen that shows the cable pointing to the music symbol.  I am new to Applie iPod so I am totally lost.  I have the Apple iPod touch 8GB Black (4th Generation) CURRENT MODEL.
    Operating System - iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.1 Software) downloaded, not sure.
    Thanks
    Wayne

    I find this,
    Before restoring:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes. [How?  I am not past selecting a network.]
    Back up your device. [Do not know how, again, I am not past selecting a network.]
    Transfer and sync content to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
    Restoring your iOS device
    Connect your device to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button. [iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices, is it in Control Panel.  I looked in Device Manager and so only drivers etc.

  • "Application opened for the first time" warning after every reboot

    Hello, I have a problem with Lion 10.7.5. The system does not remember that I already opened applications before. After every reboot, every time I open an application it displays the warning as if it's the first time I'm opening it. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    In my case, the problem disappeared after I installed the 10.7.5 supplemental update.

  • I updated my iPad but all my photos and videos were gone and it's the first time i've updated it.

    I wanted to put my photos into a folder through my iPad but I couldn't.
    So for the first time ever since I bought my iPad 2 years ago, I connected it through my daughter's MacBook and connect to iTunes.
    iTunes prompted me to update my iOS to the currect version.
    When I do so, all my photos and videos were gone. Those photos were important so how do I retireve it all back?

    Ok if your running the latest version of iTunes on your pc or mac go on iTunes connect your iPad to your MacBook using your USB cable and wait for it to respond then click restore to whatever version you were on when you had your photos then backup on iTunes and upgrade then when your update finished and  your done with the setup on your iPad click restore from backup. Hope this helps! :)

  • Cannot access disk in Time Capsule after updated to 7.4.1

    I have a macbook pro and a PC(MS Vista), both connect to the Time Capsule via LAN.
    After I updated the Airport Utility to 7.4.1 in PC several days ago, I could never access the disk in Time Capsule via PC, it always said "Unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the login information or contact the disk's administrator". However, everything is fine when I use macbook to access the disk.
    I tried to reset the password, tried to access with disk password or with accounts, but nothing worked.
    Whatever the password I changed to, it always show the same dialog.
    Thank you for your helping!

    I had the same problem.. Updating to 7.4.2 seems to have solved the problem, for me anyway. There seem to be a lot of posts about people noticing network slow downs. Can't say I have, but currently I can't access my printer attached to the USB port on my TC from my PC. My iMac can print to it no problem. Bought printer after update installed. If someone can point me in the right direction of solving that problem that would be great.
    Cheers

  • TM - first time setup - no back disk listed

    I am trying to setup my time machine for the first time. But when I clicked on the "Choose Backup Disk" option, there were no disks listed. I also had an external disk attached but still was not recognized. Both my internal and external disks were not listed. Does anybody know why this is so? Can anybody help?
    Thanks so much in advance!

    Your drive needs to be formatted correctly. To do so, open *Disk Utility* located in Utilities, and select you external drive you want to use. Then select the erase tab and choose the "Volume Format:" as *Mac OS Extended (Journaled)*. Then click "Erase..." (Note: This will erase all data of your selected drive). Upon completing the reformat, Time Machine should automatically ask you if you want to use the disk as the backup drive. If not, then go back to the Time Machine System Preference and select the drive now.

  • First time setup program

    Hey guys,
    You know when you first run Logic after installation, you get an setup window where you set your midi controller and such, right?
    How do I get back to that so I can see what controllers on the list?

    Hi there,
    Logic Express > Preferences > Start Logic Setup Assistant
    That should do the trick.

  • Problem accessing internet using time capsule after update to mountain lion

    After updating my macbook air to moutain lion i am having some trouble accessing internet.
    Evertytime i re-start my mac or airport utility i am able to access internet properly. After sometime when i access some particular sites, internet access goes down and i need to restart time capsule to access internet again.
    Even though in airport utility internet is marked as disconnected, time capsule's indicator is still glowing green colour.
    I tried deleting the com.apple.timemachine.plist file from /Library/Preferences/, but still no luck.
    Is anybody else also facing the same problem? How can i resolve this problem?

    Is the time capsule the only router in the network?
    Try setting the lease time in the TC to very short value.. 20min or even less, 10min. It will not add signficant network traffic but might keep the Air updated to the TC.
    I would also use SMB compatible name for the TC as well as wireless.. ie short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
    Set a different name for 5ghz so it cannot swap around.
    And lock the wireless channels. Try each channel in turn, to see if any are better.

  • Skype always starts as first time setup

    Hello Skype Community,
    Quite recently my skype started behaving wierd. Everytime I boot my PC skype starts (as usual). Normally it logs in automaticly, because the auto sign in option is selected however it did not.
    When I logged in it looked exactly like the time when I started skype for the first time (setting up a mic, webcam and profile picture etc.). And it seems to do it EVERY time I log in to skype (and everytime my PC boots).
    I assume its something with my antivirus, because the problem occured when I changed it (I moved from avast free version to Malwarebyte premium version).
    Is there a way to solve it?
    Thanks in advance!
    Hidde

    The behaviour in the latest Skype 7.8 version has now changed. Skype does no longer remember the last connection status. When restarted manually, it will always start with Online status, regardless what status was set when Skype was closed last time. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-forgets-last-online-status-when-signing-in/m-p/4085542#M363164 I have not yet tested how Skype behaves when set to start when Windows starts, but also the Away status might be the new "feature" of the latest Skype 7.8 version.

  • Can I revert back to 8.1 after updating to 8.2 two days ago?  I don't like it.

    Is it possible to revert back to 8.1 after upgrading to 8.2 two days ago?

    No, downgrading the iOS version is not supported by Apple.
    If you are having problems since installing 8.2, if you say what they are then somebody on here might be able to try and help
