hm... Is there any chance of making the bootable usb file and send it by dropbox or something like that? than put it in a pen drive and connect to the mac??
Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X.

  • I can't log into my iTunes account. I logger out a few days ago to trouble shoot because I was trying to redeem some iTunes cards but when i pressed redeem nothing happened. Now when i press sign in and then choose existing Apple ID, nothing happens

    I can't log into my iTunes account on my iPhone 5s. I logged out a few days ago to trouble shoot because I was trying to redeem some iTunes cards but when i pressed redeem nothing happened. I then tried to log back in immediately afterwards. I was unable to do so. After clicking "sign in" at the bottom of the apps main page, it brought up another menu where I clicked "Choose existing Apple ID". After pressing this the menu disappeared and nothing happened. I tried this multiple times and received the same result each time. I tried the other available option of creating a new AP ID to log in with and that one worked perfectly fine. I am clueless as to why the log in for me is either not able to load or just completely blocking me from getting back into my iTunes account on my phone. Not only can I not listen to the music I currently have, but I cannot log in to purchase the new music that I wanted to with my unused iTunes gift cards

    I have the same problem too and tried alot of things like time zone , restarting or changing DNS of wifi connection to 8.8.8.8 still nothing happens .. !!
    iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3

    You will have to buy Snow Leopard:

  • My macbook pro has been shutting off on its own. The power cord "shuts off" (does not work) simultaneously. Does anyone know what is wrong? or what could be the problem?

  • I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
    We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

  • The problem is that when I try to update my NI-DAQ drivers from 6.5.1 to version 6.7

    I have a Win95 based system running Labview5.1 which utilizes the PCI-6025E board with the BNC-2090. The existing version of NI-DAQ drivers is 6.5.1. The problem is that when I try to update my NI-DAQ drivers to version 6.7 I receive the following errors:
    1.The new software goes thru all the installation steps upto the point where it displays the message that it needs to restart to complete the installation.
    2. The system then reboots and displays the message," Completed Updating Window Files"
    3. Then I receive an error:
    'Rgdaqhce' performed an illegal operation and will shut down.
    4. The window closes and brings me back my normal Desktop display. The NI setup window appears and displays" Installing: Please Wait".
    5. Then it goes thru the NI-DAQ setup normally, choosing the PCI-6025E and the BNC 2090 doc options.
    6. WHen it gets to the point of selecting Documenatation PAth, Error: NI-DAQ SETup
    Cannot find installation information for :322153.
    At this point I just choose OK.
    Then it proceeds where it request the Development path, LAbview 5.1 and then it proceeds to copy all the files and then states "Installation Complete" and are ready to configure MEasurement & Automation Sys.
    7. The Measurement & Automation window appears:
    DATA NEIGHBORHOOD
    DEVICES & INTERFACES
    SCALES.. WHen I click on any one of the above I get the following message:
    " The configuration file has been updated from a previous system. If you save changes to this file it will be permanently upgraded to the current version." At this point I choose "OK"
    8. Then it states.."you must reboot for the changes to take effect. Would you like to reboot? YEs or No!". where the Data Neighborhood folder never opened..
    9. If you choose YES, the system reboots. If I open Measurement & Automation and click on Data Neighborhood again, I get the same above message as in #8 above. If I choose No at anytime to reboot, I get the following Error:
    " Explorer- Illegal operation and it will shut down"
    Then Measurement & Automation shuts down and brings me back to my windows desktop.
    SO no matter what happens I can never get into Data Neighborhood, it keeps going into this cycle.
    So I removed NI-Daq version 6.7 and re-installed version 6.5.1.
    What recommendations may you suggest in upgrading from NI-Daq 6.5.1 to 6.7 on this system? I would like to take advantage of NI-DAQ 6.7 new feature where LAbview for Windows Data Acquisition Library LLBs now contain function calls to a dynamic link library called LVDAQ.DLL, where the benefit of changing the VIs to call DLL functions instead of code interface nodes, CINs, where thet VI load time is dramatically improved.
    Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    In the meanwhile I am searching your support page here to see if there are any similiar situation..I have not come across any as of yet.
    Thanks for your help and sorry for such a long email.

     Hi,
    One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
    I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
    Any idea how can this problem be solved?
    It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
    Thanks

    i recently buy an apple iphone 4s.the problem is that when i started music player on my iphone the speaker is not outputting the sound.and when i lock the phone at the same time the sound starts.thos problem is from last 3 days.and i am really confused???

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
