When installing a new OS it does not recognize my HD as the start up disk

I am trying to upgrade from 10.6.8 to anything newer. When trying to install any of the newer OS when it prompts me to pick a HD and I pick my internal HD it says that this drive cannot start this computer. Therefore it will not allow me to install the OS. I have verified, repaired, repaired the permissions in the disk utility. I have verified that my internal HD is the start up disk. The computer starts up and

try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

OS X Mavericks does not recognize my hard drive as start up disk. What can i do? I own an iMac early 2009

I recently downloaded OX Mavericks and run the installer. But at the moment of choosing the start up disk, it didn't allow me to use my internal drive as start up. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Your comments are most welmcome. Thank you

Thank you. That's what I thought will need to happen.
One more question. I tried using the Apple install disk that came with the computer. It's an OS 10.5.6 disk. It does not see my 10.6.8 system internal hard drive to repair. All it see's is itself 10.5.6 disk. Do you think I can use a 10.8+ disk utillity since that is a higher system it will see the 10.6.8. Where the 10.5.6 does not?
I don't want to turn the computer off for fear I'll get the question mark again. P-Ram got me going last time but for how long I don't know? It would be nice to be able to turn the computer off for the night and startup as usual to give it a rest and try to reset itself.
Thanks for your help, I know I will eventually need to re-install. But I am in the middle of a project with tight deadlines and all I can do right now is back-up. Trying to migrate to another computer temporarily to finish the job. That's a lot of extra work in the short time also.
Just trying to put a band-aid on it for another couple weeks.

I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes? I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as blank as when I first open Firefox, it automatically loads my hotmail page. But then if I open other pages I don't get a blank page. Help, please?

Is this a problem with the computer or with the word processor? MS Word for example seems to think its grammar and spelling are better than mine - they are not. You have to go into MS Word preferences and uncheck all the useless "help" it wants to provide.

After installing LR (5.5), LR does not recognize my Tamron 24 70 f/2.8 for Nikon

After installing LR (5.5), LR does not recognize my Tamron 24 70 f/2.8 for Nikon, it defaults to the Tamron 28 75. The lens profile is installed. How can I correct this? Thanks.

Lens profiles are file type-specific, meaning you must have a Raw Lens Profile for a Raw file and a Jpeg Lens Profile for a Jpeg file. If you only have one lens profile installed on your system, it won't work for both types of files.
Double check to make certain that this isn't the issue.

My phone crashed and has an icon showing a usb cable and the itunes emblem. when I connect to itunes it does not recognize my phone and treats it as just iphone. when I try to restore about 9 to 10 minutes into the restore the phone turns off and then on and then loses the connection with itunes and at the end of the download it just asks me to restore it again.

Be prepared to lose everything on your iPhone but it should be backed up in iTunes so you can restore from your backup.

If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does? How do I fix this?

PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does? How do I fix this?

Try making separate desktop icons for the Editor and Organizer. You can then launch directly. The standard desktop icon is for the welcome screen which often runs in the background or doesn’t shut down properly.
Start by right-clicking on the desktop and select:
New >> Shortcut
Then browse to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
Inside the Photoshop Elements 13 folder make sure you select the application (not a shortcut) by scrolling down to the files beginning with the letter P and highlighting ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor’
Then click next followed by finish.
You can repeat for the Organizer using the different file path.
New >> Shortcut
Then browse to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer
Highlight ‘PhotoshopElementsOrganizer’
Then click next, followed by finish.
Now that you have your separate desktop icons you can delete the one for the welcome screen, if preferred.

"Check Names: Microsoft Outlook does not recognize '1. double click the attachment'" submit error

I have seen this question/issue on multiple forums and nobody seems to have an answer/fix yet. I included an e-mail submit button for my form, and when I practice submitting, everything sends fine. However, if I distribute the form (to allow for tracking, etc.) I get an error pop-up window that reads "Check names" "Microsoft Outlook does not recognize '1. double click the attachment'". What I mostly don't understand is "1. double click the attachment" is part of the directions/content in the e-mail after they actually, successfully submit the form. Why is the content auto-populating as part of the mailing address?? After you "Show More Names" and search for the correct recipient(s), you have the same error pop-up again with the 2nd step that's show in the content of the e-mail: "2. Acrobat will prompt you to select a responses file", until you select the recipients again by clicking "show more names". Then the e-mail populates, with "Completed Form&body=Instructions to add this form to a responses file: [email protected]?subject=Submitting" as a recipient, as well as the 2 recipients you had to search for.
Does anybody know why this happens and how to fix it!?

How can I get my iMac to reconize my LG Optimus 5 phone so I can transfer itunes. When I plug it in it does not recognize the phone

I have an iMac that I want to transfer stored itunes to my Optimus LG 5 android phone. When I plug my phone into the computer the computer does not recognize the phone. What can I do to so I can then transfer my tunes?

The screen is all black, so it's not the backlight. It's weird because when I get the computer off of sleep mode, it shows the log in screen really quickly. So my LCD isn't broken either. It just switches back to the wrong resolution I guess. Which makes the screen black again.
