After installing lion to my imac (spring 2011) i can no longer use the pre-packed DVD of snow leopard to reinstall snow lopard...any help please?
i Installed Lion from the app store so i have no hard copy. i have my dvd from when i was sold the imac which when i try to boot it (with or without lion on the hard drive) it gives me loud beeps. apple only need a clone of a previous install of snow leopard, when surely it'd be easier to patch lion or efi to allow this or at least provide me with a disk or dongle in placement of mu digital download!
if my computer goes down tomorrow im reliant on an app store download to regain lion.....which will requiere snow leopard, i dont think ill be purchasing mountain lion if its gonna mess with my mac without warning thats for sure
any help would be appreciated

After installing Lion in my iMac, some formatted emails contain, in some sections of the text, rows of the letter A contained in boxes. See attachment.
In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

After installing ios 5 on my iPod touch I can no longer get the voice command up.
I know the home button still works but for some reason voice command just won't come up. Help??
Have you tried a Reset...
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons...

TS1702 after upgrading to ios 6 i can no longer use the app store.
after upgrading to ios 6 i can no longer use the app store on my iPhone, i am unable to install new apps. i chose to fill out the security questions and the problem seems to occur since then. what could be a solution to get the app store working again??
i just contacted apple support and the solution is the following!!!!!
connect the iphone to your computer and open itunes
then click on itunes store at the left side of the screen
then click at the right top side of your itunes screen on your email address (or id that is displayed there in the black bar)
choose log out
then go to the top of the screen with the search option in itunes where you can search in the store and choose an app that you have not yet installed.
then you get the security questions also in itunes, fill the them out and after you have done that you are asked to log in again
now when you install an app that works (it is then on your computer still)
open the app store on your iphone and choose the updates button and install the app from the cloud
now when you install new apps also from the app store on your iphone it works again!!! and you are no longer asked about the security questions
(the other option they told me (that i did not have to use) is: go to settings/general/ all the way at the bottom of the screen choose make new settings restore networksettings and choose yes) -
I am running Lion 10.7.5, Adobe Photoshop CS6, scanning slides on my Epson V600 and can no longer use the scan application or the plug in for Photoshop. Should I revert back to leopard in my time machine to finish scanning my family slides?
In 10.7 there is not a twain that works with Photoshop for importing with all the options needed to scan transparencies. I noticed that when I was scanning in October 2012 I was still using CS6 so somehow I was managing to be able to use all the scan features.
They sell 2nd party software (VieScan and Silverscript)which I found to be just mimially OK and very hard to use.
I just want to scan like I used to.
Can I use time machine to go back to an earlier operating sysytem LEOPARD, and then do my scans and then save the photos and them go back to the LION system?
I spent 7 hours trying crazy solutions - downloading Windows CS2 Photoshop and then using a program so I could run it on the apple. Then I couldn't figure out how to put a plug in for the scanner in the stupid windows Photoshop program. Googgling the computer like a mad woman trying to ask questions. I am not giving up...
Please help if you can...
Thanks...I assume you've tried using Image Capture. Give VueScan a try.

After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books. Also I can no longer edit a and copy multiple text messages like before. Is there a way to do these things I am missing?
Not only can i not see the individual chaptes -- apparently like you and everyone else suffering through the "improved" iOS7 -- when my audiobook repeats a "file" within chapter, which it sometimes does, I cannot get "inside" the chapter and move forward to where I'm supposed to be.

Since installing Lion OS, iCal does not work. I cannot add an event, print calendar, etc. How do i reinstall?
You can use Lion Recovery
Before you do that, go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.iCal.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
See if you can print or add an event now. -
I upgraded ti Lion 10.7.2 for icloud but it's causing other problems with my mac. My Safari doesn't work properly anymore. Wishing I didn't upgrade, anyone know how to fix this or do i just have to uninstall? Thanks,
Wipe the drive clean and install Snow Leopard from your install disk.
Might be less work fixing Safari. Try Resetting Safari. -
keep losing sound when reopening logic would like to now if this is a lion related problem or logic , setting do not change.
All ways" save as" and name project and regularly "save".
this is really getting on my nerves i've swop to mac on advice it's a far more stable platform for audio, daw's and music.
I tend to use my computers in short 20 to 30 min sessions several times a day.
i had to revert to my windows computer because as well as learning logic pro and trying to figure out a new operating system it seems apple have adopted microsoft's approach, putting out a operating system and getting the hobbie techs to tell them whats wrong, this is like buying a car or house that you haft to finish building or wait for the contractors to come back to you, in there own sweettime.
not impressed.I have check hardware and everything seems to be ok.
How? Did you run the AHT from system DVD #1?
after that first restart i get a blue screen.
You updated to OS 10.6.8 and everything else that needs updating?
If you did not repair permissions and restarted your installations, do the following:
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

If I replace my desktop iMac with a laptop, can I still use the desktop as a screen on occasion?
I'm planning to replace my existing iMac and old MacBook with a new Macbook pro. This would be my first time without a dedicated desktop computer. I was wondering if it would be possible to easily hook up my laptop to the old iMac and use it as a larger monitor for those times I want the big screen.
Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and Mid 2011 and Late 2012 iMacs can be used as external displays > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302 Late 2009 and Mid 2010 21'5-inch iMacs and older iMacs can't be used as an external display.
If you have a Late 2009 or Mid 2010 iMac, buy a Mini DisplayPort cable to connect your MacBook Pro to the iMac, and press Command and F2 keys on the iMac. If you have a Mid 2011 or Late 2012 iMac, buy a Thunderbolt cable.
If you have an iMac which isn't compatible, use an application like ScreenRecycler, which allows you to use your iMac as an external display -
My iMac cannot connect to my TP-LINK TD-W8970 router even though all other computers can. I get the message "No configured AirPort base stations have been found" and "No PPPoE configurations were found". Any ideas please?
Open the Network pane in System Preferences. If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner, click it and enter your administrator login password when prompted.
At the bottom of the service list on the left is a popup menu with a gear icon. From that menu, select
Set Service Order...
A sheet will drop down showing all listed services. Drag the one that you want to use to connect to the Internet to the top of the list. Click OK to close the sheet, then close the preference pane and confirm when prompted to save the change. -
For some reason this stopped working on firefox a week or so ago. I have tried to uninstall and install firefox again but the problem still persists. I've tried both chrome and explorer and they don't seem to have this problem.
I'd hate to stop using firefox but this so annoying that in less i can fix it, i'll have to change my browser!Hi larryhall,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps! -
Thanks for anything guys.
Sorry I'm a little late, my e-mail notifications died, I was wondering why it was so quiet. Here I thought I was getting better at this.
Have you tried the USB thumb drive W7 installer way? I know 10.7 has an option now for installing a W7 installer iso onto a USB thumb drive but I don't know if 10.6 does. Search Google/yahoo for more information. Basically just make an iso of the W7 installer and copy it to the USB drive and it will boot via USB.
At least I think yours can? Not sure which models work.
Have you tried one of those CD disk cleaners? I bought one years ago and worked like a charm. (if it's dirty) It has a row of real fine bristles.
Other then that you may have a dying drive?
As far as games, make sure they are updated to run W7, other then that, that's Windows for ya..... -
None of my iDevices can read my iTunes library after about 30 minutes. My iDevices lose connection to my library and I have to do one of the three following things in iTunes to regain connectivity: 1. Restart iTunes 2: Stop / Start Home Services 3: Start playing a song.
I'ts as if iTunes goes into a background or sleep mode. During the loss of connectivity my iDevices show that there's a library shared, but I cannot connect to it.Smae issue here, but I'm unable to get Home Sharing started again (after MAc and iOS restarts, Home Sharing on/off. etc.) This happend a few weeks ago and turngin Home Sharing Off/On fixed the connection issue b/w iPad2 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.1 running on a OSX10.6.8.
I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on iPad2 today, watched a movie and then about 20 minutes into a 2nd movie I lost connection (Sharing tab in Video app disappeared and has not come back.) The update seems like the culprit, but odd it worked for over 2 hours before stopping, odd I can't get Sharing to work anymore (iTunes see's my iOS devices b/c I can conenct to iTunes to enter my passcod efor connecting the Remote app.) Appears to be an issue with iTunes broadcasting Home Sharing, even thougt it says it is on.
