Can't reinstall Mavericks since there's no option for disk selection
I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks through the Recovery Utilities. When asked to select a disk, I don't get any option. It's just blank. I tried doing the same through Internet Recovery. This started last night when I got the whole grey screen issue. I've already created a back up image using Disk Utility but I was hoping to be on the safer side of things and not do a clean reinstall and delete all my data. I don't get any message or anything. If I plug in an external hard drive, it says I can install my OS on to it but I'm not getting my actual hard drive as an option. I've been looking for a possible solution for a couple of hours now and I couldn't find anything. Please help if you can! I shall be eternally grateful.
Thank you,
Rhea

In OBIEE mobile apps designer there is no option for multi select prompts?The navigation page gives option only for single select?Is there a work around for this?
Nic, for me the iTunes window looks like this, when I connect my iPad 3:
I select the iPad in the "devices" section of the Sidebar (use: "View > Show Sidebar" if the sidebar is hidden).
Click the "Apps" tab in the "Devices" pane.
Scroll all the way down in the Devices pane to "File Sharing" "Apps" section.
Then do I click "GarageBand" to select the documents in the right panel.
Which part is different for you? Perhaps you could post a screenshot?
Regards

Can you select "This solved my question" on your last post. You won't get any points but it will let us know that you no longer have a problem that we need to address.

I have a macbook pro. I recently upgraded it to mavericks. i also had windows 8 in the other partition. but now i accidentally deleted my mac os. how can i reinstall mavericks.? pls hlp me out
paul dave,
to reïnstall Mavericks on your 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, you can try booting into Recovery mode by holding down ⌘R as your MacBook Pro starts up. Eventually it will show an OS X Utilities menu on the desktop; select Reïnstall OS X from that menu, and follow the instructions which it provides to reïnstall it onto its internal disk. -

Follow steps 1 and 2 of this tutorial and you will be able to get a jpg file for each of your book's pages inported into iPhoto: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book. If you don't have the Automator workflow Save PDF to iPhoto (which should be in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder) you can download it from Toad's Cellar.

Since I starting using my MacMini (2011 version) I have not been able to print double sided from my HP Photosmart plus - there is no option for this in the Printer dialog box as there was in the similar dialog box on my PC. How do I set up this option?
1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now? -
A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDFFirefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security. -
I was using my wife's MacAir while my Macbook was in for repairs and now all of my printers want to do through her Macbook Air and unless it is on and on our home wireless, I can't print. Is there an easy "fix" for this?

Hi can you help the sound is not working on my Mac I have went into settings and there are no option for interal speaker help
Read the documentation at the links. They won't hurt your data.
Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot. Harmless to you. Resets the smc.
Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime. Read what does.

TS1646 When I click "view my account" there is no option for "none."
When I click "view my account" there is no option for "none." Can anyone help?
OK - skip that link....I just went through it again, and since you already have an Apple ID, it directs you to another article, which then directs you to the original one you were looking at.....so THAT's not going to work!
So, I'd say, at this point, you need to contact iTunes support to see if they can tell you why you are not seeing the "None" option...
Here's that link:

Hi. How do I attach more than one document to an email originating from my iPad, especially if the documents come from different apps? When starting an email there's no option for attachments, unless you send the document from inside an app like iBook and then you can only send one at a time.
