New mac 5 days old daughter accessed a movie website and now keep being redirected to this site. Have erased her as user and tried to restore factory settings. Now computer running Internet recovery and I am lost. Please help

New Mac only 5 days old. Daughter accessed a movie website and now popups keep appearing and unable to access any other Internet sites without being redirected. Have deleted her as a user and then tried to restore to factory settings. I did something wrong and it is now doing an Internet recovery. Help I am completly lost and don't know what I am doing.

You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

My macbook pro currently wont boot, when i turn it on it leads me to internet recovery and after that to the utilities pannel, when i tried to reinstall ox lion it didnt show any disk what do i do?

someone help me plz thanks.

The internal drive has failed.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Trouble connecting playbook to windows PC when using AVG Internet Security and USB cable ?

I have spent ages trying to get my PC (windows 7 64bit ) to talk to the Playbook. I found the following:
Windows device manager sees the playbook and will let me back up and restore but not to see the files on the Playbook. Desktop software says problem with connection. On the "computer" window it shows drives but not the Playbook. Only hard drive and DVD drives. Looks like AVG is blocking the USB and as yet they have not come up with a solution and latest software wont let you manually configure the firewall other than allow and block (previous versions allowed you to config inbound and outbound rules)
Elsewhere on the forums a solution was provided but it meant leaving the firewall set to "off" or "allow all" which really is a waste of time having a firewall at all.
Please try this and see if it resolves your problems, It sorted it for me !
Remove AVG Internet Security 2014
Load AVG antivirus 2014 ( freeware) so now you are OK for antivirus protection
Load Microsoft Security Essentials (freeware) so now you are OK for firewall protection
Playbook now talks and can be configured, also the contents of the playbook drive can be seen alongside your PC drives and DVD drives in the "computer" window of your PC The playbook drive has now been allowed to be mounted where as it was blocked before
I know how frustrating this can be I have spent ages on it ..so give it a try

The USB-parallel cable needs a driver that supports Windows 7 x64 in addition to the driver the printer needs. Additionally make sure the port settings are correct, usually the port will be something like USB001: or USB002: for the USB-parallel port. Some cables may provide a virtual LPT port such as LPT3:. Check the documentation for your unit for details.
The posts here list models of USB-parallel ports folks here have had success with in Windows 7.

Internet connection and USB

I am having problems with my MSI KT4V motherboard and the internet connection.
When any USB device is connected to the computer and I try to connect to the internet Via ISDN the computer dails and connects to the server but the connection is not confirmed as the daten transfer is blocked.
When the USB device is disconnected it works OK.

What's the usb device?
Have you ever connected to the internet through some sort of usb adapter? There may be some lingering hardware and it may be conflicting with your current connection. Try all available USB ports? Got the current drivers for said hardware(isdn card, usb device)?
Good Luck!

Recovery and USB HDD Question

I have a USB HDD for my laptop (About 1TB). If worse comes to worse, is it possible to restore from System Image that I create on that USB HDD, or does it have to be a USB flash drive?

Depends on what image you created.
Best to back up a current image periodically to that external drive this way. I'll assume you've upgraded to Windows 8.1.
Use System Image Backup
The image that enables you to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents needs to be on DVDs or a flash drive. See p. 54 of the User's Guide.

HT4718 How I force recovery to go to Internet recovery as the local doesnt let me reinstall lion

My computer restarts in recovery mode but doesn't allow me to erase my drive or reinstall lion.
I don't even see my hd anymore.
How do I force the Internet recovery and how do I for e rescan to see my drive again.

What year was your Mac made? If it was before 2010 there is NO internet recovery system for those older Macs.
And even if it is a 2010 model it has to have the latest firmware installed to use the Internet Recovery system.
What you have to do on older Macs is use the original install disc that came with your system or a Snow Leopard Retail disc to boot the system and nwipe the drive.
Then reinstall one of those versions of OS X, Update to 10.6.3 (Retail version of Snow Leopard) then Update that to 10.6.8 from software update then you can reinstall Lion.
But it sound like you have hard drive problems and if your system is older then a 2010 model more then likely the hard drive is failing and needs to be replaced.
Next time you get to install Lion create either a Lion Recovery USB stick, useing the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant program downloaded from Apple or use the Lion download, Before you install it, to create a Lion Install USB thumb drive.

Hi i had made internet recovery for my mac, and now trying to instal the osx on external hard disk

Hi , i had my mac showing the question mark box. So i made internet recovery, and now i'm trying to download the osx lion on external hard disk as it shows , but its failing again, i dont know why

mamdouh elchami,
which model MacBook Pro do you have? If I understand you correctly, you have already made a successful OS X Internet recovery to your internal disk, and now you would like to install Lion on an external disk. Was it Lion that you had successfully downloaded and installed to your internal disk?

I'm trying to use Internet recovery feature to reinstall osx lion how do I go about that?

How do I use Internet recovery feature to reinstall osx lion?

Restart with the COMMAND+OPTION+R keys pressed and held until you see a spinning globe. This boots into Internet Recovery and the Apple servers. You can then download/install the most current version of OS X that was pre-installed on your Mini.
To restart into the Recovery HD, press and hold the COMMAND+R keys until you see the Apple logo. This boots into Recovery Mode from your internal drive's Recovery HD. You can then download/install the most current version of OS X that is installed on your Mini.

HT1310 Internet recovery is the only option when I reboot holding option button

I followed all the instructions after my MacBook Air crashed and then flashed a folder icon with a question mark.
But when I startup and hold option button, all I get is 'Internet recovery' and the option to connect to a wifi.
What can I do??

The OS X partition crashed. I recommend you to take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller because the disk may be failing.
If you can start up into Internet Recovery, do it. Then, open Disk Utility and check that the drive appears in the Disk Utility sidebar. If so, select it and verify it. If it gives you a problem, try to repair it, format the disk and reinstall OS X.
This may get your MacBook working again, but it's possible that it will fail soon. As I told you, take it to an Apple Store. If you don't have a backup, probably you lost everything

Install Mavericks from Internet Recovery

Hi there hope somebody can help me,
I am trying to install OS X Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 2010 model using the internet recovery as i have no OS installed and no Recovery partition.
When i try to install Mavericks im asked to login with my apple ID, however i have not activated Mavericks on my account so cannot proceed.
I dont have access to any other mac to activate the download on my account and my nearest apple store is over a 1 hour drive.
Please can someone with a Mac create a new apple ID for me and activate Mavericks on it using the mac app store so that i can proceed?
Thanks
Jacob

That is completely false information. The OP has a 2010 Mac notebook that came with Snow Leopard. Even if he can access the Online Internet Recovery system from that 2010 model (Some can and Some Can NOT) he still would not be able to install any of the Downloaed Only version of OS X (Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks)
He needs the Original System Reinstall DVD disc Set that came with his system or a Replacement set of them.

Your computer can use Internet recovery to install the factory's initial OS X which is Lion 10.7
To use the OS X Internet Recovery feature after applying a firmware update. Download and install an updated EFI Firmware ROM for these computers to use the OS X Internet Recovery feature: MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.6 Download
This update enables Lion Recovery from an Internet connection on MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) models. After you install Lion you can download the new OS X Mavericks. There is free upgrade option in the Mac App store.

HT4718 I cannot get internet recovery to work at all for my macbook air.

I somehow or other seem to have completely erased everything and have had to run the internet recover for my macbook air. Im not sure which year model it is. Anyway I am trying to reinstall lion from internet recovery and was using a verizon jetpack. Well it got down to 3 hours 6 mins remaining and that was after about an hour of running (it was actually installing lion for me) then it began going up slowly clear up to three and a half hours. So i decided to try using an ethernet connection and now I cant even get internet recovery to recognize that there is internet and it keeps putting an exclaimation point in the globe and saying -4403F. Ive tried going through the process several times and I am lost. Can someone please help me. I do have an open case with Apple Care but I want to get this up and running tonight if possible and they are closed.

Can't boot from Recovery or USB Install Drive

Hi Folks,
My (mid-2011) MacBook Pro [Mavericks (10.9)] is not booting up – not matter what I try.
I've tried booting into Recovery (using command-R), Internet Recovery, and tonight I finally created a bootable USB install drive – no luck there either (pressing option to get to the startup disk manager). I can select which drive I want to boot from, but after selecting the USB drive and clicking on the arrow, I get to the gray apple screen (with the spinning progress wheel), and then it just stalls on a blank light gray screen (and the fans spin up). I've waited up to 45 minutes in this state, still nothing.
The same thing happens when I try to boot normally. I have Filevault 2 enabled, so I get to the user account screen – but after selecting my account, the machine goes from the gray apple startup screen to the blank gray screen and hangs.
I've tried resetting the NVRAM, booting from an install CD, etc., etc., and nada.
Does anyone have any advice where to go from here? I had hoped the USB install drive would be the answer, but for whatever reason, I'm simply having no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated – this is my main rig and I can't afford to have it down for much longer…
Thanks so much!

What install "CD"?? (sure it's not a DVD disc) did you try.
Not sure it is related to the Filevault system but if you can't get the Recovery HD partition to boot that may be caused by having Filevault enabled.
Have you tried the Real Online Internet Recovery system? Hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys at startup and keep holding them down until you see a globe on the screen. If after you see the globe, or you never get a globe on the screen, and you get that same Grey color on the screen then you more than likely have a hardware problem. You should make an Appointment with your local Apple store Genius Bar for your Mac to be properly diagnosed.
