Want to reinstall, but will Ilife go with me?

I want to completely reinstall Mac OS X (as in, reformat the hard drive and reinstall). I have an external hard drive (500Gb), and a couple gigs that I want to cross over, but other than that I want everything gone. However, I bought this Mac with iLife preinstalled, so I am worried that I will lose iLife in the process. Again, I have an external hard drive, so if it were as easy as copying iLife to the external hard drive, then that would be great, but I don't think it will be. I have iLife registered with Apple, but I don't have the actual box because it came preinstalled. Any suggestions?

The iLife suite should be on your install disks that came with your Mac. Check out this thread.

Just purchased blue ray movie from store with a redemption code but will not download with out inserting disc I have a macbook air

just purchased blue ray movie from store with a redemption code but will not download with out inserting disc I have a macbook air

I am experiencing the same thing. I have many books that I used to read on my iPad.
Now on iBooks in Mavericks all my books downloaded correctly apart from two which I really want to work (The Lean Startup and Communicating The User Experience).
When I download both using the cloud icon just when it reaches 100% I get this message:
[Insert Book Name] failed to download
To try again, select Check for Available Downloads from the Store menu.
When I check for available downloads it says I have already downloaded all my books.
Anyone know how to fix this.
I do realise that this is only v1 of iBooks so I hope Apple sorts it out soon.
Thanks!!!

Do the usual wireless things.
Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
For testing take off the security altogether.
The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.

You're welcome.
Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

Itunes keeps saying this computer already authorized, but will not sync with iphone ?

Itunes will not sync with my IPhone 5s any longer. It keeps saying that my PC is unauthorized. But, when I go to authorize, it says it's already authorized, but of course, will not sync even though it's logged in and authorized. ???? *** ?

Usually that means you have content, such as apps or media, on the mobile device that was acquired from Apple under a different Apple ID than the one you're using with iTunes. The only way out is to remove that content, or else to sign in to the iTunes Store with the other ID.

I synced with a new computer. Lost apps, reinstalled, had docu in an office2HD app when reinstalled, but will not cut and paste?

I synced with a new computer, lost apps. Reinstalled and office2HD had all docs still in, but now I can not get the cut and paste feature to work? Also had problems with Gmail account and deleted and created new, so not sure I can download the app a 3rd time?

Two ways.
- You can sync with the new computer by following these instructions
Sync Your iOS Device with a New Computer Without Losing Data - How-To Geek
All the apps have to be in the iTunes library so the app data will have a place to go.
- Or just restore from iCloud backup. That will also pull down the apps from iCloud. Your apps data will also be restored.

Videos will no longer play with firefox but will still play with explorer. I reinstalled flash player. tried resetting nothing seems to help

I have tried everything I know and nothing has worked. Yesterday everything was fine and today I can't get videos to play. I have tried Youtube and various news sites as well as Yahoo news. All I get is a blank screen. I tried it with Internet Explorer and all work. Anyone have any ideas?

There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions

I want to get a pico projector for my iPad 3 but will it work with all apps?

Hi everyone, I wish to purchase a pico projector for my iPad 3 but I need to know if it will work with third-party apps which plays all kind of video file format
and not only with the native Video. Anyone has any experience with this? The app I usually use to play my video files is Good Player.

Take a look at HeadRoom (headphone.com). It's a fabulous resource for all types of headphones, with great guides and useful reviews.

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

Photoshop 5.5 acting crazy - want to reinstall but no delete program

For a few weeks I couldn't get ph 5.5 to open. Then I changed something to 256 colors and it worked. Throughout, the crop tool turns into a curved arrow
and cursor jumps away from image and can't control.
So I would like to uninstall the program and reinstall. However, there's no ph 5.5 listed in remove programs. How do I uninstall it and find aall the parts of it everywhere. Can I just do a new install and not remove the old one?
Please note I need a simple explanation.
Thanks.

Your best bet is to download the Photoshop Elements free trial from this site (Adobe.com) and see how it works.
I suspect it will run fine; your system is MUCH newer than Photoshop 5.5 from what I can see.
Regarding limitations in Elements... It was once a derivative of the full version of Photoshop (around Photoshop 6.0 I believe). Some things, such as working with 16 bit data, were blocked, but it's getting gradually more powerful over time. I think you may find, with a few exceptions, that it has more functionality than Photoshop 5.5 did. And it's not hugely expensive, as is the full version of Photoshop.
If you have time to post back here, I'd be interested to hear your comparitive impressions after trying it.

My recorded footage without sound will not play, but will when recorded with sound, any ideas?

Hi there community!
I have recorded alot of footage on a digital Harinezumi 3 camera and have run into a problem in post production.
Some of the footage is recorded with sound, and plays fine. However, with most of the footage, i chose to turn the recording of sound off. These files without sound will not play in any player, even when Perian is installed.
These are the specs of the video I have been able to find out.
File type: .AVI
Video Stream: JPEG
This is all I can find out, so I am thinking it is an M-JPEG file rendered as an AVI file. VLC player says it can not play the video or audio format 'undf', whatever that means. Another player says it needs a .moov encoder, but I do not see how this is possible. I have also tried attaching audio to it via Logic 9 with no success.
I am at a loss, and I really need this footage for a project. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!!

It won't let me post the video in the forum, so here is a link to it in dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k4nz8mg18p4thzd/Mountain%203.AVI?n=145237283
Accessed the file at dropbox. Played the DropBox "display" file in scripted player, played the same resource file using the Safari plug-in, and then downloaded the resource file using the QT 7 Pro "Open URL" option only to learn that this file was an H.264 transcode and not your original file. Used the DropBox download option to download the original Motion JPEG file in AVI file container. File plays as is in both QT X v10.2 and QT 7 v7.6.6 players under Mountain Lion v10.8.4 on my system.
Motion JPEG is one of the "lagacy" codec components turned off under Lion and which remains turned off under Mountain Lion. However, as I understand it, Motion JPEG files are supposed to be passively supported (playback supported) under these systems but requires the codec to be turned back on if you wish to export files using this codec. I turned both Motion JPEG and Motion PNG codecs back on quite a while back and have Perian installed which, as you can see, supplied the OpenDML version of the Motion JPEG codec component to actually play your file on my system. Unfortunately, since QT uses a LIFO codec component list generation strategy, I would have to remove Perian to test whether or not the system configured Motion JPEG component would then become the active decoder. (Did this a year or two ago but not willing to do so again at this time.)
Suffice it to say, the file should play in QT on your Mountain Lion system assuming the correct version of Perian is installed, it is actually active, and you have no conflicting software or hardware installed on your system. Have posted an MOV file containing your Motion JPEG video data in case you want to see if it will play correctly on your system.
