What are the steps for a clean reinstall of the os?

I have updated to mavericks from mountain lion and well to say the least, my 2011 macbook pro has been running slower than what it should be. I have been reading forums that other people are having problems as well and was able to fix some of them by doing uninstalling their os and reinstalling it for a clean install. So my question is what do i need to do before i reinstall the os, will my files be safe? Also what are the steps i need to take to reinstall the os?
Im honestly thinking about just going back mountain lion, this update adds nothing for me than it being free and the extra batery life, which i havent noticed, but when it takes forever to open up itunes or switch tabs in safari or open up word, theres a problem. Anyways can anybody help me out here?

A clean install means you'll have to re-install all third party apps from scratch and migrate nothing. Your files will not survive a clean install, so be sure you have a good backup to copy them back after.
Are you sure the issue is with the system and not just something in your user account? Have you tried logging into your Guest account and see how it works, or try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)

What are EXACT STEPS for giving an applet unrestricted access?

Hello all,
My company has developed a library for Java applications, and it's packaged in a jar file. We recently needed to create an applet to put on our website to demo the library's functionality. However, because it wasn't designed to be used in an applet, we get all kinds of security violations when running it in a web browser (reading system properties, reading Preferences API, reading local files, etc.)
What we want is a really simple way for our potential customers to run this applet and give it permission to do whatever. We're a trustworthy company so they will be willing to accept an applet signed by us. However, they will not be willing (or even know how) to modify security policy files on their local machine.
Can an applet signed by us get these permissions without the end user having to modify their policy file? I tried signing the applet using the techniques from
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lsiden/tutorials/signed-applet/signed-applet.html
but the link may be out-of-date and it didn't work. Frankly I think Sun has failed miserably with regards to applet security - they made it incredibly difficult to do correctly and they provide no documentation on how to do it. Basically every topic in this forum is asking the same question - how do you easily give an applet permission to do what it needs to do?
So here's the question: once and for all, can anyone provide a list of the exact steps necessary to give an applet permissions?

Hello.
"1. Create your code for the applet as usual.
It is not necessary to set any permissions or use security managers in
the code.
2. Install JDK 1.3
Path for use of the following commands: [jdk 1.3 path]\bin\
(commands are keytool, jar, jarsigner)
Password for the keystore is *any* password. Only Sun knows why...
perhaps ;-)
3. Generate key: keytool -genkey -keyalg rsa -alias tstkey
Enter keystore password: *******
What is your first and last name?
[Unknown]: Your Name
What is the name of your organizational unit?
[Unknown]: YourUnit
What is the name of your organization?
[Unknown]: YourOrg
What is the name of your City or Locality?
[Unknown]: YourCity
What is the name of your State or Province?
[Unknown]: YS
What is the two-letter country code for this unit?
[Unknown]: US
Is CN=Your Name, OU=YourUnit, O=YourOrg, L=YourCity, ST=YS, C=US
correct?
[no]: yes
(wait...)
Enter key password for tstkey
(RETURN if same as keystore password):
(press [enter])
4. Export key: keytool -export -alias tstkey -file tstcert.crt
Enter keystore password: *******
Certificate stored in file tstcert.crt
5. Create JAR: jar cvf tst.jar tst.class
Add all classes used in your project by typing the classnames in the
same line.
added manifest
adding: tst.class(in = 849) (out= 536)(deflated 36%)
6. Verify JAR: jar tvf tst.jar
Thu Jul 27 12:58:28 GMT+02:00 2000 META-INF/
68 Thu Jul 27 12:58:28 GMT+02:00 2000 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
849 Thu Jul 27 12:49:04 GMT+02:00 2000 tst.class
7. Sign JAR: jarsigner tst.jar tstkey
Enter Passphrase for keystore: *******
8. Verifiy Signing: jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs tst.jar
130 Thu Jul 27 13:04:12 GMT+02:00 2000 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
183 Thu Jul 27 13:04:12 GMT+02:00 2000 META-INF/TSTKEY.SF
920 Thu Jul 27 13:04:12 GMT+02:00 2000 META-INF/TSTKEY.RSA
Thu Jul 27 12:58:28 GMT+02:00 2000 META-INF/
smk 849 Thu Jul 27 12:49:04 GMT+02:00 2000 tst.class
X.509, CN=Your Name, OU=YourUnit, O=YourOrg, L=YourCity, ST=YS, C=US
(tstkey)
s = signature was verified
m = entry is listed in manifest
k = at least one certificate was found in keystore
i = at least one certificate was found in identity scope
jar verified.
9. Create HTML-File for use of the Applet by the Sun Plugin 1.3
(recommended to use HTML Converter Version 1.3)
10. Place a link to the .crt file (created in step 4) in the HTML-File.
This .crt file has to be opened by the browser and has to be set to
trusted,
as the root CA for testing is not known to the browser. For use with
"real" certificates, this step should not be necessary."
Only one my comment. You should sign all jars that your applet requires.

What are basic steps for using Handbrake ripping software?

I free downloaded Handbrake 0.8.0b1 to my 10.4.9 Mac OSX intending to download a DVD of home 8mm movies, that had been compiled by comm. photo shop, so that I could use iMovie & iDVD programmes to create new DVDs of segments of the 8mm movies. Can't find basic instructions on how to run Handbrake. When I open it the menu is mostly greyed out, so I have little or no choice. Tried downloading parts of the DVD several times, and only once did it register a file (in desktop) which I was able to open. I subsequently lost that by trying to move its destination. Other times a destination for the download is shown in the menu, (greyed out) but it isn't registered anywhere on the hard drive, nor shown on the desktop. So I would appreciate learning the elementary abc's of the steps to use that software.
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

These Apple-hosted forums are best for Q&A about Apple software. The best place to get info about using non-Apple software is from the developers themselves. Check out the Handbrake FAQ page and/or post your question on the Handbrake developers' forums.

hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you

Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

What are the steps for merging of database files ?

See here for creating tablespaces http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/sql/create_tablespace.html.
You can specify as many (or as few) datafiles as you like.
Then create tables in your new tablespace x_old_table_name(s) - you can Google this.
Then select the data from old_table_name(s) into x_old_table_name(s).
Drop old_table_name(s)
Rename x_old_table_name(s) old_table_name(s).
There may be a better way.

I´ve bought the new IPad3, what a disappointment the 3G does not work, no Internet available, APPLE what are you doing for the all the people in Germany who bought the new IPad3? I´m still an Apple fan, all my products are from Apple but I need a solution

I have been waiting since months for the new IPad4G 64 Gbt. ON recommendation of Apple Support I have changed my IPad 4G last week in the hope that something was wrong with the firts one I bought.
The one I have now has the same problems. WiFi is working however 4G not at all. Apple what can I do? What are you doing for the thausands of German Apple fans who have bought a IPad4G and can not use it. We need a solution NOW. I´m working with this tool and need to be able to rely on it.
Thanks for a feed back.

It would be advisable for Apple to react officially on it. € 799, - for something that doesn´t function is no fun :-((
Isn't replacing your iPad Apple "officially" acting on it?

Wi-Fi or another interference source. Try turning off the Wi-Fi and see if the problems continue. If that solves the problem, see if you can set your Wi-Fi to run in the 5 GHz range.
