Re: factory settings how do i do that with my imac

Insert the install DVD and reboot. When you hear the cord, press and hold the 
'C" keyh.  Your machine will boot from the DVD. After about 2/5 minutes turn on 
VO with usual combo and then you're good to install.

Julie

If you have your operating system DVD to hand, just do a clean install by 
booting off the DVD then using Disk utility to erase the drive. Go through the 
install until you are prompted to restart the machine.  At that prompt, when 
you hear the power on cord, just hit the power button and you can be sure your 
machine is factory reset.
