    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

  • How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?

    How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?
    My home network is used both by my macbook and my wife's windows pc. Considering that, I would like to know if we can share our pictures with each other (specially because I intend to store all of them into a NAS storage - WD My Cloud, probably).

    No you can not - neither iPhoto nor Aperture has any cross platform capability
    You can share photos with the PC using MyPhotoStream or Shared PhotoStreames
    You can not share the iPhoto library
    And you can not put the iPHoto library on a NAS - it MUST always be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and mube on a fast wired local connection - it can not be on a Network
    There are Digital Asset Managers that can do what you want - iPhoto and Aperture can not

  • Can't print through Time Capsule using Windows-operating computers

    I've just bought a time capsule 500GB and it's working fine. It backups my macbook every hour and I can easily print whatever file I want through my Canon iP1800 series, which is connect to WAN port of my time capsule.
    However, I have others 2 notebooks running windows, and I can't print from them wirelessly. I've installed the airport utility and Bonjour in both computers using the CD that came with my time capsule and I followed these instructions of an old topic here (_but it didn't work out_):
    “1. Make sure the printer is recognized by the base station.
    2. Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
    3. Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install
    should be off), click next.
    4. Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
    5. For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station 10.0.1.1. The port name will be filled automatically. Click next.
    6. For the device type, choose 'Hewlet Packard Jet Direct', then click Finish.
    Choose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.”
    Do someone have any idea to tell me what's happening? How can I fix this problem and have Mac and Windows laptops printing through my time capsule?
    Thanks

    When you installed bonjour did the Bonjour Print Wizard appear on your desktop? Or in the program menu?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3052?viewlocale=en_US
    In my personal experience Bonjour sometimes doesn't install properly and doesn't appear on either the desktop or program menu, particularly if it is installed at the same time as another piece of apple software. Each of the times this happened I removed bonjour, using Windows Setup:Add/Remove programs, and then downloaded it again individually.
    If you have the same experience as me you'll then be asked if you want to install a shortcut to the printer wizard. The wizard has done the trick for me. I've not yet had to resort to the rather more complicated "add new printer" route.

  • Photo problems and can i drag and drop files using windows explorer?

    i can only sync photos frm my com to my touch but i cant choose which photos i want and i tried searching for the files in itunes and i cant find them, thus cant delete them...
    on top of that, i can access the files in my touch but cant find any option to delete them...
    when i go the photos tab in itunes, it only shows me the window to sync files and the 2nd question too...
    because when i drag and drop on itunes, it's quite laggy...and if i use windows explorer to drag and drop, will the duplicates on my playlist appear as 2 files or will it be like itunes where it can detect the main file and simply adds it to the list?
    thank you...
    sorry for the wall of text...

    There's no manual mode for photos just different ways to sync but here's a simple "How To" on managing your photos so that it's easy to add and delete what you want on the iPod:
    1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
    2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
    2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
    3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
    4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
    5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod
    You can't drag photos or music to the iPod from Windows Explorer, you have to add content through iTunes or you'll not be able to view or play it.

  • Audio duplicate feature on hp pavilion-1247cl notebook using windows 7 not working

    . i have a hp pavilion dv6-1247cl laptop.running on windows 7 initially i was able to use the duplicate feature-fn/f4 key to display and hear my web page on the tv screen using the hdmi cable connection. i am unsure if i have accidentally changed a setting recently on my laptop or what,but i am unable to get sound audio any longer through my tv or receiver system as before. the video from the laptop on the tv still shows fine the hdmi connection ran computer to tv then audio cable out from tv to receiver. i can get the sound to work if i connect an audio cable directly fron the hp headphone jack on my laptop into the same audio input channels in my receiver. anyone got any ideas if the laptop is on the fritz or do i just need to change some setting ps the laptop is relatively new thanks for any input ..

    Thanks for the help, but I found the program to fix it. After searching for hours. I stumbled upon this link and it finally worked and the unknown device was only my headset and the other one I just updated by making it search online for the software. Here is the link for other people to use to fix their usb port problems. - http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?javax.portlet.begCac...

  • How can I check my icloud emails using windows xp?

    My MacBook Pro crashed and I am currently using an old laptop on windows xp. When I go to enter online in Icloud.com my emails it does not allow me to see my emails unless I install icloud on my laptop. The problem is that when I follw the directions and the relevant link it sais that icloud is compatible only with windows 7 or 8. Does that practically means that I will not check my emails until my mac is back in life?

    Thank you for the answer
    I am trying to access my emails using my browser but when I enter my ID and password a message appears saying that I need to set up icloud first in my current device before I can make use (enter) icloud.com
    Then I pressed more info to find out how I can do that in a windows pc and I found out the following:
    ''To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first step set up your iCloud account on your other devices or Mac, then install iCloud for Windows''
    Any suggestion?

  • How can i run wireless internet when using windows xp on my imac?

    I recently installed Windows XP on my imac using Boot Camp, everything works great except the internet. ive been looking but i have found no way to get the internet to work via my wireless connection, or is it just not possible?
    Could it be that i am missing some drivers? Anyone know where i can get them?
    Sorry if im asking too much stuff.
    Thanks in advance

    Depending on the wireless base station brand and specifications,
    you may have to set up the Windows system to find & use it...
    Just about the same as setting up any Windows PC to go online;
    except, if you have an Apple base station...
    If you have an AirPort base station, there are updates for Windows
    to help use that access point, from your Mac, running Windows.
    An example, but not necessarily the correct answer, in the following:

  • I Need USB Controller Drivers For My HP Pavillion g6 2235ca Notebook Running Windows 7 Pro 64bit?

    So it has been at least a couple of months that I've been using my laptop with only ONE working USB port.
    The other two do NOT work. If I go to Computer on the Start menu, and right-click on Computer, then Manage, then i go to Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark next to Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller.
    When I try to update them, Windows 7 tells me that an update could not be found blah blah blah...
    This problem happened ever since I installed Windows 7 64bit over Windows 8 64bit.
    So, can someone help me find drivers for this USB Controller? Or is this some kind of hardware failure or issue?
    Please help? Anyone...!
    Thank you!

  • How can I connect to oracel-10 using windows authentication?

    Hi,
    in Oracle 9 I could do this:
    Put the windows user in the group ORA_DBA, then:
    set ORACLE_SID=MySID
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect / as sysdba
    With oracle 10 it always seems to ask for username and Password.
    Is there a way around this?
    Can I log in thru windows authentification somehow like this
    set ORACLE_SID=MySID
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect as sysdba
    without now being asked for username and password now?
    How can I accomplish this?
    I would not want to specify the password in an sql file; this would be much worse than being able to connect thru windows authentication.
    Thank you for letting me know.
    Sincerely
    Andreas

    Hi,
    thank you all for answering first of all.
    I thought that connecting with the slash as sysdba:
    connect / as sysdba
    was an old syntax of oracle9.
    But you are right, obviously it is not.
    However, oracle10 gives me now the message:
    SQL> connect / as sysdba
    ERROR:
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    How come you don't get this message?
    Are you using Oracle-9 or oracle-10?
    I was logged on as user oracle; and this user is member of the administrators group and also the group ORA_DBA.
    How come then that it still throws the insufficient privileges message?
    Could you please let me know, what you do differently or what I forgot?
    Regards
    Andreas
