HELP and i cannot return to my desktop with the old sofware so i cant use my computer normaly

This error means that your hard drive is badly corrupt and cannot be repaired by Disk Utility. Since you say you don't have backups, this is very bad news. You may already have lost data irrevocably.
First order of business needs to be backing up whatever you can, but this may be difficult to do if the machine won't start up any more. See step 1 of the following post:

Once you have backed up your data, you can address the other issues.

    If you go to System Preferences > Network do you see other networks listed on the left panel?  Is the lock in the lower left corner closed?  If not, highlight your network, then close the lock so you block other networks.

  • HT1918 When trying to download the free applications from itunes app store its asking about billing information

    When trying to download the free applications from itunes app store its asking about billing information.
    Billing popup will display and navigating to billing detail page.

    Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item (free or paid-for) from the store.
    If you are being prompted to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
    If not then you will need to enter credit card details - you should be able to remove the card after entering it

    If you mean the DL appears to be stalled give it about half an hour, if there's no movement restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

  • How can I download lion from Mac app store in recovery mode on an imac?

    I bought a mid-2007 imac from a friend, who the computer was working perfectly for. When I went to start up it wouldn't start up (past the gray screen) from the regular HD no matter how many tricks I tried (resetting SMC, PRAM, etc), so I went in to recovery mode. I verified and repaired the disc more than once (even though it said it was fine), and tried to reinstall lion from the online recovery function but it said "item temporarily unavailable." I basically tried every combo of things possible before erasing the HD but nothing worked, so then I decided to erase the HD.
    SO that happened, and now I can still boot up in recovery mode and it -seems- like if I can find a way to reinstall lion (which was the last os running), I may be back in business.
    however, see the problem with "item temporarily unavailable."
    I decided to purchase it from the Mac store online on a different device and it says it will email me a link in 1-3 business days (really??! That long to save me with an EMAIL LINK???), and my thought is that maybe I can log in to my email from the safari window and download it that way. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to access the Mac app store if that is where it downloads from.
    Ultimately, I'm trying to avoid a trip to the Apple Store because this thing will be a nightmare to lug on public transportation. My questions for you are as follows:
    - how likely do you think it is that I'll be able to successfully download lion from the email link in recovery mode?
    - Do actual discs with lion exist anywhere in the wide world? If so, how can I get one?
    - would it be worth it to grab an old lion usb stick from amazon?
    - is there ANY other way to reinstall lion or install a new os on this thing without physically taking the computer anywhere?

    What a silly company , i have the same exact problem with my macbook pro and i've checked every topic that mention this problem and they didn't solve it .

  • How can I redeem the gift card from mac app store

    I entered it into itunes store, but it doesn't have app for Mac.
    In Mac app store, I didn't find a place to redeem the card. When I purchase, it went ahread and used my credit card!

    Sorry to hear this. since the Mac App store came out Apple has eliminated the cross between itunes gift cards and app store gift cards. However, for future reference on entering gift cards into the Mac App Store; You are going to want to do is open up the Mac App Store. When you do, you will look for a redeem button in the right-hand colomn. Click on it, and follow the onscreen steps to redeem your card.

  • Downloading Logic Pro 9 from Mac App Store

    What exactly will I be getting from the Logic Pro package available on the mac app store? How exactly does it differ from the full studio version (everything minus MainStage ?)
    I am following David Nahmani's Logic Pro 9 book ... does the mac app store version contain have all the jam packs and loops (if not, how does one download/access the extra content?)
    I was ready to go through Nahmani's book, but couldn't even access the "Trip Hop" loops in chapter one in the version I have...thinking about getting the mac app store version if it's all inclusive.
    Thanks

    The Appstore version of Logic Pro is the same as that in the Studio version, but you do need to download all the Additional Content from within Logic (see the Logic Pro menu).
    The Studio package included MainStage, Soundtrack Pro (now discontinued), Waveburner (discontinued), Compressor (now available separately on the Appstore), plus a bunch of other bits and pieces.
    The Nahamani book includes some 'extra' Appleloops to cater for those without the full set of JamPacks

    Hmm.... so you already have the "Logic Studio" version, with all the content installed????

  • Installing OS X LION from Mac App Store, click "Redeem"

    I purchased OS X LION on line, I got the e-mail with the Redemption Code, however when I launched Mac App Store, click "Redeem", I didn't find the "Quick Links" in order to click on "Redeem". I'm updating from Mac OS X 10.6.8. Can you help?

    Set App Store to Features from the toolbar. Quick Links will be on your right. Click on the Redeem option.

  • HT204266 App Store displays an item, previously (& caused by Diigo), now a farm game that cleared down to reveal Google Earth, & remains stuck showing it - the App Store is rendered inaccesible

    Further to this, the on screen keyboard now opens in the top half of the screen instead of the lower, usually obscuring the text entry field, or causing the users hands  to obstruct, not sure if it's the same issue but some reviews for Diigo ( formerly iChromy ) suggest it has known issues and one user reports the same problem in App Store (September 2012 reviews for app) and that it was like that for weeks...., please advise.

    For the keyboard press and hold the 'keyboard' key at the bottom right of the keyboard and after a second or two you should get a popup - slide your finger up to the 'Dock' option on that popup and then remove your finger from the screen and the keyboard should move back to the bottom of the screen.
    For the App Store, have you tried closing it via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
