I HAVE A MAC BOOK AND I CAN GET TO WORK THE CD 1 IT DOESN'T READ AND ONLY APPEAR A ICON LIKE A FOLDER WIR ONE QUESTION MARK, CAN SOME BODY HELP?

I HAVE A MAC LAP TOP MAC BOOK AND  WANT JUST TO REINSTALL THE SOFTWARE I DONT CARE ABOUT MY FILES I HAVE BACK UP BUT WHEN I INSERT THE DISK VERSION 10.5 WHICH COMES WITH MY COMPUTER DOESN'T WANT TO READ I HEARD THA IS TRYING BUT NOTHING,
CAN SOME BODY HELP ME...

There is a possibility that the disk drive could be broken, if it just spits it back out that usually means its toast. If your MacBook has a Core 2 Duo processor, you can install Lion (via a thumb drive not disks). Here is a link to the Lion thumb drive.You can also still order them for $19.99 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. Also you can borrow an external disk drive and try the Leopard disks that way as well.
Good Luck!

    Reset, hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to start. If still problem, and your decide to Restore your iPhone, try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time.

  • Can some body help me to develop labview code for generating pulse to drive ac servo motor

    can some body help me to develop labview code for generating pulse to drive ac servo motor... i am using NI 9401 card ....tnx

    Driving an AC servo motor would (I missed AC on the previous msg) requires some complex hardware. This is generally done by drivers specifically designed for this purpose. I doubt you will be able to accomplish this with the hardware you currently have and it might be cheaper to just buy a driver for it and control the speed through the driver.

  • Can some body help me reg. BAPI_USER_LOCK

    Hi,
    I am using  this FM BAPI_USER_LOCK   to lock firecall id's .But it is not working in 4.0 B version.
    Can some body help me any alterante FM for the FM.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Below are the notes for this Function module.
    You can unlock user USERNAME with the method Unlock.
    The method is fully integrated in the central user administration system.
    If the method is called in a sytem that belongs to a group for central user maintenance, the method behaves accordingly.
    If the method is called in the central system of this type of system group, this triggers user distribution.
    The user is also locked in the dependent systems.
    The prerequisite for this is that the field maintenance attributes (Transaction SCUM) are set.
    You need to do the prerequistie for running this BAPI.
    With Regards,
    Sumodh.P

  • I have a Mac Book Pro A1226 - can i install Windows 7 on this via boot camp

    I have a Mac Book Pro (A1226 -late 2007) and I want to run Windows 7 Ultimate on it via Boot camp.   I am currently running Mac OS X 10.6.8  with Boot camp 3.0.    For some reason I can't seem to install Windows 7 through Boot camp.  Can I even install it on this computer?  Would I be able to run Windows 7 on this computer if I purchased Parallels instead. 
    Thanks

    You should try asking in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out. Your issue has been discussed there many times.

  • My MacBook Pro won't start - it just displays a grey screen with flashing icon of a folder with a question mark in the middle. Help.

    It started while I was using Adobe InDesign, and that program froze, then crashed. When I tried to reopen the program, the error message I received was simply "Error: 16".
    I tried to take a screen shot of the error message for reference, and it gave me a message saying I couldn't because I didn't have access to the files where it would normally store the shot.
    Attached to my computer at the time was my Seagate Free Agent Go-Flex for Mac backup drive.
    So, I closed any open applications, and restarted my computer. But it wouldn't restart. It only displays a grey screen with a flashing icon in the middle of a folder with a question mark on it.
    I have no idea what happened - I wasn't using the machine any differently than usual, and it only had a few basic applicaitons open in addition to InDesign (like Preview, Text Edit, Microsoft Word, iCal).
    I have MacKeeper on my MacBook, and I keep it clean.
    Does anyone out there know what this flashing icon indicates, and if there is anything I can try on my own to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Seems a uninstall and reinstall of CS is in order.

    May or may not be a contributing factor,  may have kicked in at a wrong time or running root code.

    I have MacKeeper on my MacBook, and I keep it clean.
    Well that explains it, MacKeeper is almost malware.
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
    Search the forums here for "MacKeeper" they will tell the whole story, crapware.
    Disconnect all drives, follow the "Grey Screen" instructions and hold Shift key down while booting, if you get into OS X , immediatly backup your files to another drive and disconnect.
    In my opinion you should first check to make sure you have a backup of your data, then just erase the entire internal drive (hold c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility), reinstall OS X, same user name, update to 10.6.8, c boot off the 10.6 and Repair Disk (to fix a update error) install your programs and finally return files from backup into the same main user folders like before (Music, Docs, Pictures etc.)
    A pain it is, but you've hosed your system and in the process you might as well rebuild everything and have a fast machine again. So happens to clear MacKrapper, uninstall CS5 and any other junk in your system at the same time. Fresh, clean, lean and mean.
    Learn to Carbon Copy Cloner to a external drive that new pristine boot drive, you can hold the option key and boot from it (even update it), which is a real bacon saver when something like this happens.  Also it's free to use, donations accepted.

  • I have a mac book and I want to transfer my pics in iPhoto to my new iMac how do I do this without migration

    Can someone please help me? I just purchased a new Imac and I need to transfer my iphot pics from my macbook to the Imac

    All the Photos in your macbook are in iphoto Library. Navigate to PICTURES FOLDER then, right click "iPhoto Lib" then select SHOW Package Contents. your photos are in the MASTERS Folder.
    Or you can copy the entire iphoto Library in the Pictures folder and place it in your new imac pictures folder.
    you can use an external hard drive, SD Card or burn to CD.
    Another option is to connect macbook to iMac and boot macbook in target disk mode so that you can access your laptop as an external drive.
