Selling 3GS wondered if iOS4 will still be installed after reset/wipe

I have just installed iOS4 on my 3GS (absolutely love the iOS4).
I will be selling my 3GS on to a friend shortly and getting the iPhone 4, and prior to this will be resetting/wiping the 3GS (bascially putting it back to the condition it was when it left the factory)
When I reset/wipe etc my 3GS when I sell it, and my friend then reactivates the 3GS on his computer/iTunes. After the activation, would iOS4 be still installed on the 3GS, or would it be back to the software version that was on it when it left the factory.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the help, its much appreciated.
I was hoping it would remain on after the reset wipe.

If I buy creative suite cs5 web premium for students, I will still may install it in, a mac desktop

If I buy creative suite cs5 web premium for students, I will still may install it in, a mac desktop and windows laptop same license?

Not sure where you're getting this idea from but it doesn't matter how you purchase the software (Suite or standalone) the answer is still, no.
One license, one platform (Mac or Win)
Mac software works on Mac only.
Win software works on Win only.
From the End User License Agreement (EULA)
2.11 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. You
must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of
example, if you desire to install the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms
on a device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then you must first obtain two
separate licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a
different operating system platform, are delivered to you on the same media.
From your repeated questions on this topic, does it mean that you have a Mac desktop and a Win laptop and you're trying the find the cheapest route to get DW and Flash Builder on both?

I spilled a little bit of soda on my keyboard ( more like big drops) and my computer won't turn on but it will still charge. After i spilled it it kept trying to turn on and off by itself until i finally just shut it down

I spilled a little bit of soda on my keyboard ( more like big drops) and my computer won't turn on but it will still charge. After i spilled it it kept trying to turn on and off by itself until i finally just shut it down. Today i tried to turn it back on ( i spilled it last night) and now it won't turn on but when i plug it in the orange light comes on so it still charges.

TBF: You may have been lucky enough not to cripple your MBP immediately with your spill, but a spill such as you describe will have left obvious traces if you ever need to take your machine in for a repair of any kind. And as soon as evidence of the spill is found, any chance of the necessary repairs being performed under warranty will be gone.
Taking the machine in now to be cleaned and have the greasy parts replaced will be expensive, but doing so may save whatever remains of your warranty. For a price, Apple will restore the machine to like-new condition, and at the very least, you will then have a 90-day repair warranty on it. If you have significantly more time than that remaining on your original one-year warranty, and especially if you've bought the extended AppleCare Protection Plan, it would probably be worth taking the machine in to a Genius Bar for a look-over. Ask whether, if you have Apple clean and repair the machine now, your new-computer warranty and AppleCare plan will be reinstated afterward or whether all you'll have is the short repair warranty from now on. If the spill will negate your warranty and AppleCare even if you have Apple clean it, then the cleaning probably isn't worth paying for. But if paying for the cleaning will get your warranty and AppleCare reinstated, it may be worth doing.

Paste content will not delete, even after reset.

When trying to paste content into an email, I always get the same message that I did prior. Still does this after a reset as well. Any ideas??

Are you saying even when you copy new content it pastes the old content into your email?

Selling my Mac Mini but will iLife be there after wipe and re-install

Hi there
I am wanting to sell my 2011 Mac Mini which originally came with Lion installed. In the time I've had it I've upgraded it through ML and it's now running Mavericks. Obviously I'm going to erase the hard drive and then re-install OSX before selling and I'm comfortable with how to do this but I'm now wondering about the iLife software that came with my Mac.
My questions are;
a) the recovery partition, will this still have a copy of Lion there or will that have been upgraded to Mavericks as well?
b) If the recovery partition is set now for Mavericks, I have read in other threads that if I re-install any version of the OS that is different to the one that originally shipped with my Mac (Lion) then the new owners will not have access to the iLife bundle that was pre-installed and will have to purchase it from the Mac App Store. Is this true?
c) If this is true is there anyway I can revert the Mac mini back to Lion so then the new owners will have access to the iLife software and then upgrade to Mavericks themselves?
Obviously I would prefer the iLife suite to be available as this makes my Mac more attractive when selling. Before it was so much easier when Apple actually gave out Install discs as you could just re-install from them without any issues. Now with the Mac App Store and this new way of obtaining apps preparing a Mac for sale is a bit more complicated.
Any advise regarding this is greatly appreciated.
John

Here is the link I lef tout of my first reply
OS X: About OS X Recovery
I think that if you do what
What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
says and then setup the Mac with your ID, your ID will have to remain on the computer in order to update the OS.
The same may apply for iWorks since you had to sign in to download iWorks

HT204266 Gnome village app. Will still not open after I did the update to ios6 on my iPad

I cannot install apps on iphone 3gs. It shows that app is installing after entering password and then it quits. I can still update apps

After I enter my password, it shows that it is installing app then it goes back to the install app screen. I can still update apps though. I updated my software to iOS 6.1.3 and that did not help. I do not receive any error messages.

Did you find a solution for this? I have a user at work with this exact issue but on their iPhone 4S.
Thanks

Vista will not boot/install after performing a restore to factory settings on satellite l305

I have a satellite l305 that i bought new thru walmart.com about a year & a half ago, and for the past few months it seems like there are more & more issues with this pc that are causing it not to work properly-everything from drivers failing-or even disappearing, in some cases-to crashing into a blue screen everytime i insert a micro sd card into the slot.. My sound drivers are gone & even after i THOUGHT i downloaded them again, they still won't install or even recognize that they are there and then yesterday it suddenly stopped being able to fully load some of my fave games that i play daily.. I have tried EVERY SINGLE SUGGESTION in EVERY article, forum, help site, etc.,that i could find & even tried to get help over the phone from a pc tech here locally, and nothing has been able to fix my issues. I have done so many system restores from so many different restore points, installed updates, uninstalled updates, tried to install new drivers, rolled back drivers, started in safe mode to do diagnostics checks, entered BIOS & checked EVERY setting, reset all settings to default, checked error logs, etc., etc., etc...I have even completely disassembled my entire laptop & checked all wiring, fuses, etc., made sure everything was working, etc., So, finally yesterday I decided that it's gotta be something to do with a tech issue-probably with my vista home premium OS that came pre-installed at purchase, so i thought it best to just go ahead & go into the back up & restore & back up all my files onto an external hd using the file transfer wizard option inside the restore center, and then proceed into restoring the pc to it's factory, or "out of box", state. And i assumed i covered my bases by saving the back up-just in case...ohhh no-not the case at all!
It did't even occur tp me to that i might need an actual BOOT disk for vista after the fact. I just assumed that "out of box" meant just how it originally came-WITH vista pre-installed & ready to set up-like it did the day i bought it! i also was under the assumption that, isnce it never asked for a product key or anyting to activate vista then, that it wouldn't need one now either. But anyway, so this is where i'm at now-after i did the factory restore & turned it back on, it said to wait while windows finishes installing-but it never finished, then finally about an hour later, it said that windows was unexpectedly interrupted during installation & did not complete, and for me to restart pc to try install again. But after i did that, it was the same thing over & over. it NEVER installs!
So then i decided to go ahead & "restore windows using back up image" that i created on my external hd prior to the factory restore, thinking that it would just kinda pu **bleep** all back, but thats not working either. it recognizes the drive, and takes me to a menu where i can actually even view all the files on the drive and even tho they are known by my pc to be back up files, it still won't associate them to being back up files to MY PC!! I even got desperate enough to find a site that claimed to offer a free vista boot disk in the form of an iso image that i burned onto cd & tried to boot from as well. That actually took me to an install screen for windows & all the way to where it asks for product key-which DID NOT come locatedon any sticker anywhere on my laptop, and because they DID NOT include any OS utility, install, or boot disks with the purchase of my laptop, i don't know what the product key is OR where else i might be able to find that info, and i WILL NOT pay for ANOTHER ONE, just because they were too lazy or cheap to send the disks with the pc! so i tried to skip this step till later, but when i skip it, it shows anpther error saying that install was terminated & could not finish install & if i wish to continue, for me to restart my pc & re-attempt install..WHAT IS GOING NE WITH THIS AND WHAT CAN I POSSIBLY DO TO JUST BE ABLE TO USE MY LAPTOP AGAIN?? HELP ME PLEASE SOMEONE!!

Hi,
I do not really understand... Did you made a backup before restore to factory settings? And did you copy all backup files to an external device? If not, the data is gone!
Why? Restoryng to factory does not mean a reinstallation. It means to fill the whole harddisk with an image of the first (factory) installation. All other data will be destroyd! Other partitions are deleted and normally you find only one big partition - the whole hdd.
If you have a complete backup on external drive and it is corrupted during restore, try to open the files manually. Maybe you can restore some single files.
Good luck
kind regards
Stefan

IBook still turns off after resetting PMU

Hello,
My friend has a got a problem with his iBook G4. It showed no warning when the battery was low, and just turned off when he still had some 12% Battery left. I told him to reset the PMU, and so he did.
Now he does get a warning when his battery is low, but instead of going in "Stand By", the iBook just turns off when there's no power left.
This is quite annoying, because he often loses things he didn't save yet..
Any suggestions ?
futher..
I've got an iBook G4, about 2 years now.
I just wondered how long you guys keep your iBook before getting a new one or something like that...
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hello,
Sometimes he gets a warning, but then the computer turns off instead of going in stand by. And sometimes he does get a warning.
Resetting the PMU hasn't helped, he 's still got this problem. It's really annoying, I hope someone has another tip..
His battery is a little over a year old, so I don't think it can have worn out already..

My MacBook Pro will not charge, even after resetting the SMC.

And try a different electrical outlet.

Still freezing up after security wipe ?

Greetings all,
Despite performing a security wipe I am still experiencing constant freezing of my phone, especially with the calendar. I suspect it may be an application that is causing the issue. During backup and restore I didn't delete any applications.
Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If indeed you suspect an app, then you can try removing them one by one until the behavior clears. But, be aware that if the app caused OS level corruption, then removing the app won't cure that corruption...only a clean OS reload would do so...and that's the process I recommend you follow.
At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

G56 will not start install after format and copy from recovery usb

so i just replaced the hdd in this laptop running win7. i am trying to fix the imminent hdd failure message for one of my mother's friends. anywho... i created the usb flash (13.5gb) and then replaced the hdd. went into the bios and enabled usb floppy and moved it up in boot order.
the pc boots into recovery fine. it formats and copies the files over also. what it will not do is reboot into the install of windows. all it wants to do is reload the recovery. i have tried many different ways of getting this done and nothing seems to be working.
at first the floppy was first. now i have it second, after the hdd. i have pulled the usb after the format and copy. i have left it in.
i dont know what else to do. any help from yall would be a wonderful thing.
thanks,
patrick

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sounds like you are using the wrong restore disk to install Mac OS 9. The G5 came with its own restore disks to install Mac OS 9, and that version is 9.2.2. The restore disks for the G5 are labelled such.
If you purchased the G5 used from someone else, and they did not include the original disks, contact them for the disks. And if they lack the disks, ask them to call AppleCare and see if they can get the disks. If you lose the disks, and are the original owner of the machine as a new machine, call AppleCare and see if you can get the disks yourself.

Will not re-install after removal

Had a problem with an ad program. Removed it and first removed firefox because I thought it had imbedded itself in browser. Now when I download Firefox it will not install.

Hey!
Glad to hear that you and your family made it through relatively unscathed! I think we all need to take better care of our wonderful planet, because I think we are upsetting Mother Nature!
I have the Windows Installer Clean-Up screen up and tried to upload a screen cap for you, but IE immediately shuts down every time I try. So I'll have to transcribe the screen for you:
I see the following:
(All Users)
(All Users) [1.2.0.10]
Those are the top two lines. The following lines after that are programs he has installed on the machine like Acrobat, Adobe, Autodesk Inventor, and such and they all have a name and program number in brackets.
And I now again have the obligatory Apple programs installed and listed again:
(All Users) Apple Application Support [1.5.1]
(All Users) Apple Mobile Device Support [3.4.0.25]
(All Users) Apple Software Update [2.1.2.120]
(All Users) Bonjour [2.0.5.0]
Please note that iTunes is NOT LISTED.
Everything else 'appears' to be normal, I'd say.
Take care, and I'll see you on the flipside! According to my clock, it's 4:11am Thursday morning there!
See ya!
