Starting IMac for first time without the paired bluetooth mouse

I bought an iMac at the Apple Store today. I wanted a trackpad rather than a mouse. He pulled the mouse from the box and inserted the trackpad. I got home, booted up for the first time, and it wants me to turn on the factory-paired mouse that I don't have. I can't get past this screen to pair the bluetooth trackpad instead.
The keyboard is paired and functional, but I can't find anything that bypasses the screen telling me graphically that I need to turn on the mouse. I do not have a wired mouse to plug in, even if that would work.
Thoughts?

No, it insisted on a mouse. I did, however, find an old wired mouse (didn't think I had any left), and once I plugged that in, it bypassed the screen telling me to turn on the wireless mouse. Then I set up the trackpad using the setttings.

How to sync iPhone with iTunes for first time without setting up as a new iPhone

I have an iPhone 5 that I have never sync:ed with iTunes on my Mac, I have just set it up and purchased apps etc from the iPhone itself.
Now I would like to sync with iTunes for the first time with the iPhone but when I connect it, iTunes asks me if I want to setup the iPhone as a new iPhone (I assume form scratch) or from a backup from other iPhones that have been sync:ed with my Mac.
Now I dont want to setup this iPhone from scratch and erase everything thats on it, I just want to sync with my Mac, download apps, music etc. How do I do that and get beyoind the first screen that asks about setting up as a new iPhone ?
/Kjell

Hi I think I've found a workarround. I'm currently copying all files on my iPhone to the new PC using this program: http://www.getsharepod.com/download/
After all files are copied I think I can enable sync in the new iTunes and delete the iPhone, then add the copied files in new playlists.
I'll let you know.

Restore from your most current backup.

My system freezes during start-up "for first time" after running System Recovery.

HP G62-227CL
Win 7 (64 bit)
No error message, per se; just a frozen screen during reboot.
Months ago, my computer suddenly started glitching on me. I shut down and tried a reboot. The system froze on the boot screen with the flying colors. Tried system recovery several times but must have done something wrong because it would not run. Resolved to buy a new hard drive and reinstall from recovery discs. Delayed for no good reason until today, months later.
Before buying new hard drive, decided to run System Recovery again. It worked! I tried the option that deleted everything and restored to original factory settings and software. Everything appeared to work like a charm: hard drive reformatted, software reinstalled, system prompted me for a reboot. I did. Windows started to start, "Setup preparting your computer for the first use" appears . . . and freezes. For hours. Hard drive indicator light is off.
BTW, made sure that the Wi-Fi button was on as I read about Recovery issues if it was off when the program ran.
Rebooted. Hit F11. Ran maintenance and checked hard drive for errors. There are errors. Unfortunately, the default setting of CHKDSK does not repair them. Opted for a command prompt. Rand CHKDSK again with "/f /r" option seen in other posts. I'm too ignorant here to get the program to run properly, I guess. I ran CHKDSK on both drive X and C. No errors found . . . sort of. I know they exist because the system will not boot up. (Yes, I tried again.) Back at command prompt, I tried to run CHKDSK on drive C again. This time I received a message that I would first have to unmount (dismount?) the drive. As I do not know what this means, I opted for "no" and have decided to post this message for assistance.
So. Suggestions on what I do next? More specifically: how do I get CHKDSK to repair the errors it found? I believe the message was: "Errors in $130 of sector . . ." It displays this message twice at 62% completion. Freezes for a long time. Gets going again only to slow to a crawl again around 70% but for not as long. Then returns back to the start screen of System Recovery.
Ran System Recovery again for kicks. Again, appeared to work like a charm. Unfortunately, the laptop is once again sitting frozen on the "Preparing . . . for first use" screen again. It is getting hotter the longer it sits. The fan is now audibly running at higher rpms . . . if any of that helps. I'm shutting it down and waiting for your advice.
Thanks!

Hello Miles1966. I understand you're experiencing some issues with your notebook freezing.
This does sound like a hard drive problem. The freezes, missing HDD indicator light, and inability to perform a recovery are all symptoms of a failing hard drive. You had been using CHKDISK previously but have you tried running the diagnostic which is built into the BIOS? Try following these steps and post the result of the diagnostic. I suggest running the memory test as well just in case.
Let me know the result of these diagnostics. I hope you have a great day!

Starting CMS for first time - cannot log on successfully

Hi, I am installing CRXI Server edition on a server running SQL2000. We have recently bought a new server to replace an old one, so we are trying to recreate the settings of our previous server. SQL runs great, but I cannot log on to the CMS. When installing I got a message saying the install cannot log on and that I need to check my credentials. I've tried everything. I heard the default was "administrator" with no password, and enterprise authentication and that doesn't work either. My domain or local credentials are also unsuccessful. Please help! Is there some sort of issue with SQL or???
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yes, cms.exe is running in task manager, but in Services it is stuck in "starting" mode (this is also the case in the central configuration manager) I couldn't get this service to restart after I changed the DSN.
When I try starting the Business View Manager I get the following error: Could Not Start WinSock DLL, error: 0x276b.
When I try loggin on to BOE I get this error: The system myserver.domain.pvt can be contacted, but there is no CMS running at port 6400.
Also, when I originally installed it and it asked me to log on to the CMSfor the first time, I got an error that the install could not log me on because my username and password were incorrect. (I didn't write down that exact error, and don't know how to recreate it.)
I'm reinstalling now for the 3rd time, because I didn't know how to get that service "unstuck"... not sure what to do when I install though...

ExecuteQuery WhereClause problem for first time in the session of the page

I am new to OAF and I have panic problem.
I have two pages application like following..
First page “LookupTypes” and second page “LookupValues” for the selected first page Lookuptype.
The problem is when I press first time(after lunching the page/first time for the session) the button in “LookupType” page I am getting all the “Lookup Values” for all the lookup types instead of getting only for one Lookuptype and I will press “back” button in “Lookup Values” Second page to come back “LookupType” first page, Again immediately I will press the same button which I pressed first time, this time I will get correct number of records for one Lookup Type. I don’t know why its where clause is not working first time.
Please find the following code and help me.
First page is LookupTypes->second page is Lookup Values
Step 1 : I have button on “Lookup Types” page to call “Lookup values” page
Step 2 : “Lookup Values” page control to receive the parameters from lookup type page.
Step 3 : application module (AM) to execute the query..
Code :
Step 1 : I have button on “Lookup Types” page to call “Lookup values” page
Following is the code from “Lookup Types” control.
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
String paramLookupTypeAction = pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM) ;
String paramLookupType = pageContext.getParameter("paramLookupType");
OAApplicationModule PafLookupAM = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
//Adding calling LookUp Values screen
if (paramLookupTypeAction.equals("viewLookupValues") )
// PafLookupAM.invokeMethod("clearLookupValueMethod");
//Here we prepare the HashMap object, that cotains name of the parameter and the value of the parameters
HashMap phm = new HashMap() ;
phm.put("xxparamLookupType",paramLookupType);
phm.put("xxparamLookupTypeAction",paramLookupTypeAction);
pageContext.setForwardURL(
"OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/xxpaf/pafLookups/webui/pafLookupValuesPG"
, null //not needed as we are retaining menu context
,OAWebBeanConstants.KEEP_MENU_CONTEXT
,null //not needed as we are retaining menu context
,phm //pass the hashMap that contains values for all of the parameters
,true //retain AM
,OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_NO
,OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES);
Step 2 : Following is the code from “Lookup Values” page control to receive the parameters from lookup type page.
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
String paramLookupTypeAction=pageContext.getParameter("xxparamLookupTypeAction");
String paramLookupType=pageContext.getParameter("xxparamLookupType");
OAApplicationModule PafLookupAM = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
Serializable LookupTypeParamList[]= {paramLookupTypeAction,paramLookupType};
System.out.println("viewLookupValues 3 " + paramLookupType);
System.out.println("viewLookupValues 4 " + paramLookupTypeAction);
if ( paramLookupTypeAction!=null && paramLookupTypeAction.equals("viewLookupValues"))
System.out.println("viewLookupValues 5 " + paramLookupType);
System.out.println("viewLookupValues 6 " + paramLookupTypeAction);
PafLookupAM.invokeMethod("viewLookupValuesMethod", LookupTypeParamList);
          // Assuming the controller is associated with the pageLayout region
// import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.layout.OAPageLayoutBean;
     //     OAPageLayoutBean page = (OAPageLayoutBean)webBean;
     //     page.setTitle("Lookup Type: " + paramLookupType);
Step 3 : Following is the code from application module (AM) to execute the query..
public void viewLookupValuesMethod( String pAction, String pLookupType)
try
OAViewObjectImpl pervo = getPafLookupValuesEOVO();
String existingWhereClause = pervo.getWhereClause();
pervo.setWhereClauseParams(null);
pervo.setWhereClause("Lookup_Type = :1");
pervo.setWhereClauseParam(0, new String (pLookupType));
pervo.executeQuery();
pervo.setWhereClauseParams(null);
pervo.setWhereClause(existingWhereClause);
catch(Exception exception1)
throw OAException.wrapperException(exception1);
Best Regards,
Pathi TVB

Pathi,
Please try to have the WhereClause in the VO query as part of static definition itself. So you would only need to bind the parameter and execute the Query.
Try and let me know if that helped.
Thanks

I too encountered this error. After taking a look at the default trace file I observed the following error:

In order to resolve this, I had to apply the latest update (ICDESIGNTIME01_0-10007480) for the IDM design time. The update will add the missing column tot he table structure.
As per the instructions, ensure that you make a backup of your database before applying the patch.

HT1420 I've not used my iMac for some time and the password has been forgotten. How do I re-start?

I bought the iMac some 18 months ago and it was set up be a system administrator who has since left the company. I want to start using it again, but no-one knows the password.
I've tried inserting the Install DVD but the system immediately asks for the original password.
How do I overcome this?

IPad 2 starting for the first time without itunes ?

Hello everyone,
I just bought an iPad 2 for my brother in India. :-). A brand new iPad 2 in a white box from best buy. I have couple of questions and hope the forum members would help. Thank you.
1. As i unboxed , i pressed the Home button, and the iPad screen didn't show the connect to itunes logo,instead led me thru' a series of steps like registering for itunes/apple password and it just started on its own. It works fine though ,however i found this to be weird to start without connecting to itunes. Is this considered "normal" for recent iPad 2's to start without itunes ?.
2. What kind of travel adapter would you suggest for use in India /240V ?. I was suggested to purchase a world adapter kit from apple store for $39.00 ,but i would use only one adapter and the rest wouldn't be of any use ? Could you suggest an adapter to use in India ?

As of iOS 5, it is quite feasible to start up, configure and use an iPad without connecting to iTunes. My New IPad has NEVER been synched to a computer.

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?

i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. Am i keeping my files in the portable hard disk when I will connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will erase all?
I would like to know if after I erase all my data, empy hard drive inside the macbook, the time machine will erase all my files that I have saved in my "WD "My passport" external hard drive

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

InDesign CS4 won't start after installing for first time. Other CS4 applications are fine.

Hello,
I have Adobe CS4 applications installed except for InDesign. Today I tried to install it on a windows 7 64bit machine with my other Adobe products. When I try to start it nothing happens. I can see the application running in the task manager but nothing starts. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling it but still nothing. I saw on the forums to remove preferences but there's no folder related to that my guess is due the fact that it never ran for the first time. The only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling everything and then reinstalling all Adobe products. I would rather not have to do that. Thanks in advance.

SQL Server Management Studio - Configuring the environment for first time use

Hi
I have recently switched my local 'My Documents' folder location to a network drive that I 'make available off line' to allow on-line/off-line work and synchronisation when I am working in and out of the office.
When I load my SQL Server Management Studio 2005 I frequently get 'Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is configuring the environment for first time use'.
Management Studio them loads and I can continue without problem.
I am guessing it is trying to make reference to some settings file. Any ideas? I wonder if I can change/move these settings elsewhere to a local drive?
Thanks

I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen

I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen since the first screen. I did the start up, but using the comands on the keyboard. I think the laptop is configured to blind people. I just got at the desktop, but the mouse is frozen.

If this is a new machine, you have 14 days to return the machine for an exchange or a full refund. Your trackpad should work out of the box and what you're seeing onscreen may very well be settings for the partially sighted.
