PLEASE HELP!!! I clicked on the wrong folder to start up in and now I don't know how I can start in Mac OSx 10.4 anymore.

I have already pressed and held down the options key during start up but I can only select the HD drive (which is what I want) but I can't specify which folder to start up in (I accidently pressed 9 before instead of 10.4) and now I can't revert back to 10.4.  Whenever I start it now, it is just a grey screen with a floppy disk image in the middle with a blinking question mark.

Will it start up in Safe Mode?

If it will, then try starting up in OS X by holding down the x key during startup.
Which exact iBook model is it?

    Not sure I understand how Migration Assistant is doing anything. I thought MA was for connecting your computer to another computer or volume and transferring files. I'm just not sure how you're using it. Like I said earlier, everything you do on your Mac overwrites more of what data may have been recoverable if there even was any. Not to kick you when you're down but this is exactly he kind of a situation where a time machine or other back up would have saved you a lot of heartache. I'm sorry but I don't think I can be of any help :-(

  • I deleted the HP Smart Web Printing (but kept the link) and now I don't know how to get it back.

    I had 23 Microsoft updates and 12 did not update. I am 73 and not very computer literate. I finally (accidentally) discovered that, at least part of the problem, was that I must have installed Explorer 9. It told me to update to a new driver/software. I was trying to do it step-by-step and that's when I deleted the Smart Web Printing. On the second step of trying to fix it, it would not update because it says it doesn't support 64 bit (which I have). It only supposed 32 bit. HELP. I can't figure out how to get my smart web printing back. Also, I don't know how to get my system back to a lower Explorer since I apparently have 9.
    This question was solved.

    Hello BarbG,
    HP no longer offers the Smart Web Print software available for download since the change to Smart Print. Rather than trying to get around this maybe we can look at at least resolving the issues you are having.
    For one the Smart Print software can be found here
    HP Smart Web Printing Software Replaced by HP Smart Print
    Available on the link are step by step instructions on installation and setup of Smart Print, including videos on how to use Smart Print so you can become accustomed to using it.
    Now before we get into that what you will want to do is verify that you are truely running IE9 64 bit versus the 32 bit. HP Smart Print only supports 32 bit so we want to make sure we are using that.
    To check the version of IE you are running follow these steps.
    1. Launch Internet Explorer
    2. Click on Help
    3. Select About Internet Explorer
    4. If the version of Internet Explorer has 64 bit next to it then you are running the 64 bit version. If it doesn't say then you are running the 32 bit version and are good!
    If you are running the 64 bit version we next need to see if you already have the 32 bit version on your computer. 
    1.Click on Start
    2. Select All programs
    3. Look for Internet Explorer (64-bit)
    Just below that entry should be another entry called "Internet Explorer" This version of Internet Explorer should be the 32 bit version and you can verify this by repeating the before mentioned steps.
    Once you verify that you are running the 32 bit version of IE then you can proceed with installing the Smart Print software.
    Also note a few other additional places to check and run IE 32 bit are below:
    Go to start->all program->accessories, IE 32 bit version should be located here
    You can also find the IE 32 bit version in this path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe."

  • Before I reinstalled my Windows 7 I made a backup of a number of items. Now I don't know how I can import the cookes backup-file cookies.sqlite.

    I had to re-install my computer (windows 7). I made a lot of backup-files. After the new installation of Windows 7 I am now putting back all those files. I just did it successfully with my bookmarks. My next step would be my cookies for Firefox, but I cannot find the right way to import the backup file cookies.sqlite into Firefox.
    Could you tell me how I can solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Once upon a time, I shun down the camera(built-in isight) on my Imac, now I don't know how to restart the camera.

    I can see the built-in iSight at the device manager, and its property is "normal". But how can I get it work again?

    From apple help:
    Using your Mac’s built-in camera
    If your Mac computer or display has a built-in iSight, FaceTime, or FaceTime HD camera, you can use it to take pictures or videos with the Photo Booth application, create movies with iMovie, or video chat with your friends and family over the Internet.
    The microphone (see A above) transmits and records sound. The location of the microphone may vary depending upon your computer model. The camera (see B above) takes pictures in Photo Booth or captures video in iChat or iMovie. The indicator light (see C above) glows when the camera is on.
    To turn off the camera, close the active application window. The green indicator light turns off, showing that the camera is off and video has stopped.
    So open the application you want to use the camera with. The program will control the camera. TRY: Open PhotoBooth. Click the red button. Watch for the green light next to the lens (C above)

    I still don't know which version of OSX you have but assuming it's 10.7 or 10.8 .....
    You need to press command-R (at the sound of the chime) to get into recovery, try that, if it does not work try command-option-R for Internet Recovery.

  • HT5457 I got the 1st iPad but it needs iOS on it I don't know how to go about getting it can someone help me

    I got the 1st iPad but it needs iOS on it I don't know how to go about getting it can someone help me

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update.
     Cheers, Tom
