Be sure to start your iMac using its original grey System Install DVD: Insert that disc and start your Mac while holding the d key. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen select Disk Utility and format the hard disk. Select "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)".
Then, install OS X.

Had to reformat the hard drive and now trying to reinstall...
I have my original CD for PSE 4.0 and installed it. That worked fine. I printed out the info from when I upgraded to PSE 5.0 because I upgraded online at Adobe.com. But when I went to my Order History, the download wasn't there. When I called support they said they could no longer support this "old" version of PSE and that I had to come here for help. Which is frustrating because it says right there on the upgrade info:
Sign in to Your Account at the Adobe Store at any time to re-download your purchased software.
Anyway, I've got the serial number for my upgrade to 5.0. Can anyone tell me how to re-download it? Thanks!!It's absolutely stunning what is out there on the nooks and crannies of the Internet. So I'd recommend that you search there for the upgrade. After all, the upgrade file is useless without the serial number you have, so Adobe wouldn't object to someone posting it on a web site.
Google is the perfect place to start your search. Try to think of terms you'd find on the web site you want - but would not appear on the average web page. That way Google won’t offer to show you 100,001 hits - which can be depressing. Here I'd use "Adobe Photoshop Elements", and "upgrade", and "version 5.0".
Keep Google in mind whenever you are searching for something unusual. People are putting more and more information onto the Internet. That can help you.
In 2001, I typed the name “Monte Payne” into Google. We both were point men in the same Infantry platoon in Vietnam. He triggered a boobytrap and died while walking point.
To my surprise, Google found a plea from his family. 32 years later, they still were trying to find someone who could tell them how and where Monte died.
I wrote them a long letter explaining what happened and how he had died. I also included the address of a U.S. Geologic Service web site that shows a detailed map of the area where he died. (The U.S. Geologic Service hosts hundreds of web pages that show small-scale maps of what was South Vietnam.)
I also gave them the grid coordinates of the location where he probably died. I didn't know the precise location because I was in the hospital when it happened. But because we both had been point men, I found out everything about his death once I got back.
I’ve often thought that if there ever was a contest on the most unusual uses of Google, I’d enter that incident with Monte’s family. I’m one of fewer than 30 people on the planet who could tell his family how Monte died. Without Google, we never could have found one another. -
I had to get a new hard drive, now illustrator says my license is expired and I have to get reactivated. When I used the phone support and entered in all the numbers, a recording comes up saying that my reactivation numbers are invalid. What can I do so I can start working again in illustrator
Where did you purchase illustrator. It sounds like it was from a shady dealer. I would contact Adobe and see what you can do.

Everything was running with 2 user accounts. Did sw updates incl. OS 10.6.8. Now the master account runs properly, including FF 12.0 however the 2nd account now crashes every time FF is launched. WIll not launch in safe mode either. This report is being submitted from the other account that still runs FF properly. Also downloaded FF to reinstal but a warning that I was installing OLDER version - even though I just downloaded the 'current' version. All this seems quite unexplainable! What's up???

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it. -
the macbook will not boot to the boot disc, or into startup disk control menu. is there anything else possible that we can do? we are slightly experiencvecd when it comes to these types of repairs. but this is baffling us.
We have tried this and it still goes to the white screen. One time when we were trying to boot from the disc (by holding "c" directly after the boot sound) we got a folder icon with a question mark in it. But it will not boot from the boot disk or go to the boot menu when you hold the option key upon boot.

Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.
Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down. The result should be a display showing a revolving globe. By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX. Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
A solid Internet connection will be required.

On a macbook I purchased secondhand hard drive got corrupted and I started to get the flashing folder with the question mark, I purchased a new hard drive and snow lion install DVD I installed the hard drive and tried disc but kept getting blinking folder
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
Power on the computer and insert the DVD immediately.
Hold down the 'C' key to boot from the Snow Leopard DVD.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533
After selecting the appropriate language, if necessary, select Utilities, and Disk Utility.
You'll likely need to partition and format the new drive before it's recognized.

I just replaced my hard drive due to failure in my Mac mini. I am trying to load the Snow Leppard OS from the DVD's that came with the unit. Is there a step-by-step procedure somewhere that would help me? This is my first problem with my first Mac. I thought getting to the hard drive and changing it would be the hard part but I made it through that with little trouble. My lack of software experience on the Mac is really slowing me down. I believe I'm not making the right choices in the Disk Utility program.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Prep the new drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Upon completion quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X. When the installation has completed you can proceed to restore your data from your backups. If you have an existing backup from Time Machine or another hard drive then upon completing the Setup Assistant you will have an option to restore from another Mac, a TM backup, or another drive. Use the appropriate option. -

I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition. I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?
No easy fix for a few reasons:
1) Bootcamp requires a hybrid MBR for the partition table. That is: both an MBR and a GPT partition table at the same time with the GPT one having all partitions and the MBR one having only the ones that are relevant, but at most 4 of them (including the protective partition and the Macintosh HD one). Which leads us to:
2) The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
I am working on a small EFI app that can boot Windows in EFI mode on a Mac and that would mean that you can go GPT only on your system. The progress of the app is slow due to the nature of EFI and for now requires that you do an unattended Windows install with slipstreamed graphics drivers, but we are adding VGA loading on top of EFI quite soon after the rest of the app stabilises. The status of the app is documented at:
Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)
Windows does actually successfully boot in EFI mode on most Macs (anything with a 64bit EFI should work), but does not have graphics support even if you load the driver due to the VGA pci registers not being set by the firmware. Furthermore, in Setup and Safe Mode, Windows uses VGA instead of GOP which is a failure by design since VGA is a BIOS standard and not really compatible without hacks with EFI. Other EFI implementations also add VGA compatibility at a high cost to the firmware complexity for the VGA cards available on the market that don't actually contain anything in their ROM except the VGA BIOS.
My recomendations:
1) Install on a second smaller hard-drive; or
2) Wait for the EFI app to come out officially and use that to boot Windows Vista SP1 x64 and Windows 7 x64 (RTM and SP1) in the native EFI mode.
3) Wait for Windows 8 which supports VGA-less booting acording to the AMD presentation at UEFI Plugfest. -
