I had formatted my mac book pro few days back

I had formatted my mac book pro few days back & before doing so i had copied the iphoto library & backed it up on a external hard drive. After formatting i installed the mountain lion & i see there was no iPhoto so i had to buy & download again. Once done with this i copied the iphoto library into the picture folder & also did open it with the iphoto. This is about 25 gb og my photos. So thn i deleted the backup in the external hard drive. But now today after couple of days i open my iphoto & i see no photos at all, there is absoulety nothing. dont know where all my photos are gone . & i have deleted my trash couple of times in the last few days. Is there any way to retierive these photos.I am lost.. n totally heart broken. Please help.

No
And there was no reason to pruchase iPhoto again - it comes with yooru computer and could have been installed form the original source
since you have no backup the only possible way to recover your photos (but not your iPhoto library) is disk recovery software like file salvage
Not having a backup means that you are 100% Guarenteed to lose all of yoru files including your photos sooner or later - thingk do happen - in fact one probably just did - you must always have good backups (I have three) if your photos and files are important to you

  • I had brought the Mac book pro 15 inch retinal display in nov. 2013 in USA. I lost my luggage in the flight transit at Paris CDG. Now I can't install windows 8.1 which I brought from same store frys at LA, USA. Pl. help. Thanks gyanesh

    Dear friends
    I had brought this Mac book pro 15 inch retinal display and windows 8.1 and then I left to India my home place for vacation now my problem is during flight transit at Paris CDG. For flight change. My luggage got lost and I had to leave for India. On reaching I waited for 6 days daily going to the Mumbai airport and enquiry but now I am stuck I can't work using windows software s for designing engg.
    Can someone tell me a better way how can I install windows if I don't have the driver CDs?
    Thanks in advance.  Sb sob sob
    Pl. help. Thanks

    Reinstall OSX using the online recovery.
    Then use Boot Camp Assistant. One of the Boot Camp Assistant menu items is download the Windows Support Software (drivers). Make sure you follow the Boot Camp instructions.
    Or, Reinstall OSX using the online recovery.
    Then install a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Then install Windows in the virtual machine.
    You can use either Boot Camp or a virtual machine to install Windows. Neither method requires any driver cds.

  • While looking at web pages like ebay and i click on a item to look at and then i click back page , the page starts at the top of the page instead of starting back at the item i was looking at. My Mac book pro will go back to the item i was looking at .

  • How to format my mac book pro without the installation disk ?

    However, I do not have the installation disk. So the  question remains as is the title: How do I format my Mac without the installation disk? i bought this mac book pro last year and im not sure if the warrantly is expired yet. If there is noway to format it without the disk, am i able to purchase the disk in apple store? Many thanks.

    You don't. You need the installation disk. You can't buy the disk in an Apple store. You need to call AppleCare and order one. Have you serial number handy. To check your warranty status:

  • How do I get my Mac Book Pro desk top back to the right size?

    My son was using my Mac Book Pro this morning and managed to enlarge both the desk top and any browser I use - Safari, Firefox etc.  I am unable to get them back to the right size and have to keep shifting across to see what files I have etc.  Can anyone give me advice on how to put it back to normal.  I have tried looking at 'view options' and also in trackpad, mouse and keyboard in preferences but to no avail.  Note that the files on the desk top are not smaller or bigger - it is the actual desktop which has increased in size and is no longer contained within the frame of the screen.  Would be grateful for any help and thank you.

    Did you try CONTROL and two finger drag on the trackpad?
    Ciao.

  • Mac Book Pro will not back up to Time Capsule

    Whenever I try to back up my Mac Book Pro to my Time Capsule I receive an error message that states: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Scott Soerries’ Computer.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 17). Can anyone help me with this.

    Try just a simple power cycle of the TC.. followed by the computer.. or indeed the whole network.. restart in correct order.. modem.. router/TC.. clients. Wait 2min for modem and TC to boot before the next step.
    No luck check the master guru.. pondini.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Your issue is a different error but try C10 or C17.. it will be along those lines.
    Also check C9.. your names look too long and too apple like.

  • How can i format my mac book pro v10.6.8

    hi i m using macbook pro v10.6.8  its too slow i just wanna format it and dont know how to format it so please help me to format it as soon as posibble please

    Hi m,
    1. Boot from install disc (press power button, immediately insert install disc and hold down c key).
    2. Select your language.
    3. Open Disk Utility from Utilities menu.
    4. Select the HD in the left pane (the manufacturer’s name and the HD model number).
    5. Click on the Erase tab.
    6. Choose the Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    NOTE: if you want to zero the HD (which I always think is a good idea, but does take time), click on Security Options, click the button for Zero Out Data, click OK. The larger the HD, the longer this will take, in some cases several hours.
    7. Click on Erase and wait for the entire process to finish.
    8. Click the Partition tab.
    9. Click on Volume Scheme and choose the number of partitions (normally just one unless you have other plans).
    10. Click on the Options button (located underneath the Volume Scheme pane) and select GUID.
    11. Click Apply.
    12. Quit Disk Utility and continue with the installation process to install OS X; when finished, restart, repair permissions, run updates (in Apple Menu > Software Update), and repair permissions again.

    When you use a virtual machine software, it can "take over" the optical drive for the virtual machine operating system, so the disk won't appear in OS X or on the desktop. You need to disable the virtual machine from accessing the optical drive. Usually if the virtual machine is not booted up, then control returns to OS X for the hardware.
    If the disk is not appearing in Windows, it's because you need to enable the virtual machine to access that piece of hardware.
    First use the Apple Menu to Software Update 10.6.3 to 10.6.8
    Next update Parallels to the latest version, if you get a grey screen and the Mac refuses to boot, hold the Shift key down (Safe Mode) while booting up again to disable Parallels and other at boot kernel externsion files, update Parallels and then reboot normally.
    While in Windows in the virtual machine, Windows Update to the latest version (Control Panel) and also make a "snapshot" this way you can revert to that for updates or if you get malware. Install the free Microsoft Security Essentials, it's good enough in most cases as you can "fall back" on the virtual machine snapshot if you get infected.

  • Buying Mac Book Pro and bringing back to Australia

  • Mac Book Pro immediately goes back to sleep after waking under Lion

    The sleep problem I am having seems to be in the minority, so I thought I would get it  (and the resolution) up here for others. I have a 2011 17" MBP.
    The laptop wakes up as normal, and the display is active for 1.5 to 2 seconds before it shuts off again.During that time, the keyboard appears to be active, but even if you sucessfully log in, it will still continue to blink.
    The trick that seems to work is to unplug the machine before waking it up. Under battery, the machine wakes up properly and you can plug it in again afterwards with out issue.

    Would you create a new user account. Log into this account. Does the problem persist? If so, then navigate to the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ folder. Remove the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file. Restart the computer and reconfigure your Energy Saver preferences for both Power and Battery. Also, reset the SMC: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). Test to see if this fixes the problem.

  • Itunes on Windows laptop need to transfer to Mac Book Pro

    I am new to my Mac Book Pro (4 days) and love it. However, my iTunes library is on my Windows laptop and I want to know how to transfer my iTunes account (and the songs that I have bought via iTunes) to my new Mac. There are only purchased tracks on the iTunes library, but my iPod (80gb) contains some of my CD collection as well as the purchased tracks. As I am in the process of getting my CD collection onto the iPod, I sync manually. Also, the iPod is set up to work on Windows and not Mac. Could somebody please help me and advise what I need to do, and in what order - Help! Many thanks

    *my iPod (80gb) contains some of my CD collection as well as the purchased tracks. As I am in the process of getting my CD collection onto the iPod, I sync manually. Also, the iPod is set up to work on Windows and not Mac.*
    Macs can read Windows drives so you should be able to connect the iPod to the Mac without any issue. One proviso is that up until now Apple has only fully supported using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac (unless the range has been expanded to include the iPhone and the iPod Touch which I've no experience of). What this means effectively is that if you need to apply a firmware update for your iPod and you wanted to maintain the Windows format you would have to do it on a PC. If you were to try and update a Windows based iPod on a Mac it would be restored and reformatted to the Mac file system and have the Mac firmware installed.
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to load your Mac iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    Senuti Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    There is a good general guide to switching from Windows to Mac at the following link that touches on moving music as well: How to Move to a Mac - Get your stuff from your PC to your new Mac
    There are also these guides:
    iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
    Networking with a Windows PC
    Don't forget by the way if you have purchased any tracks from the iTunes Music Store to deauthorise your old PC if you are disposing of it so you don't use up your 5 allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • Mac Book Pro 2013 Non Retina

    I was looking at the Apple Stores newest Mac Book Pros (later 2013) and I noticed that all the newest Mac Book Pros have Retina. Is there an option to not get Retina with these newer ones? I want to save money on that and also I would liek to get less RAM and then upgraded it later, and from my understanding you cannot upgrade the RAM in a Retina Mac Book Pro. I was specifically looking at a 15" Mac Book Pro with the nVidia Card.

    Hi macjsus,
    Unfortunately the newest Mac Book Pros are only retina display and the Apple trend is in that way. I bought my Mac Book Pro a few days ago and I upgraded it improving the RAM up to 16gb for US $250 approximately . If I had bought  a Mac Book Pro Retina Display I would need a lot of money for this improvement.
    Have a nice day!
