Can't start Macbook..help please

Ok, so I was in my Windows partition and I shut down to restart to Mac and it won't load.
It's just the blue start up screen for a while. So I put in the Mac OS installer and it takes it a while to load, but it does. And wants me to reinstall it. It shows my hard drive and my windows partition. But when I try to install it on the disk, it says there is an error. So i went to my disk utility and tried to repair my disk. IT says that there was an error coming out of the process or something.
What do I do?
I need help please. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

If Disk Utility is showing a problem that it can't fix, then you'll need something stronger such as DiskWarrior. BTW, exact message help tremendously.

    I have downloaded several books into ibooks.  Started reading one and closed it when I was done reading for the day.  Now I want to access other books and when I open ibooks it goes directly to that first book.  It does not give me the shelf to choose what book I want to read - goes directly to the first book. What can I do? Help please.

    There should be a Library button on the top left. If not ap the middle of the screen to get it to appear.

    Is your Mac new?
    http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/
    FWIW, iWork as such is no longer available; it is now separate applications: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
    Do you have the older (via install DVD) iWork 09 version installed? Then the new versions should show up in Updates (mac app store).

  • TS3988 I am receiving email that I should verify my password for iCloud but I can't see the link that I should start. HELP please!!!!!!

    I am receiving email that I should verify my password for iCloud but I can't see the link that I should start. HELP please!!!!!!

    You select the desired file (tick the square box on the left of the file name).
    You click on the "share"/"send" icon (the envelope with the arrow that points up and to the right).
    You are presented with the share/send dialog.
    Here you select the "Send To" choice.
    This is done by placing a tick in the box beside either "Public Link (create a public link for anyone to view)"
    OR
    "Personalizdd Link (send email invitations to individuals)"
    NOTE: The second choice is only available if you have a subscription to Adobe Send service.
    So, for a free "Files" account in Adobe's cloud you'd tick "Public Link".
    At the bottom left you'll observe the "Create Link" button.
    Click it.
    You are presented with a new dialog that informs you that the Public Link has been generated and that link is provided in a field within the dialog.
    You can copy the link to a text file for future copy-paste into a post to a forum or bulletin board or you can provide the link to otheres via an email.
    Be well...

    Why I can't change on the settings ,I cloud ,advanced l, mail and then email address there I can't change ? Help please?

    You can't change that address by design, but Apple allows you to create another two addresses and use instead they call those aliases and you can create and use those different for different people with the same account. Instructions here

    i forgot my security questions and i don't know what to do to reset them because i can't answer them, help please!!

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Did you check the outgoing mail server setting? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • HT1750 New batteries in pad and keyboard but wont connecton start up - help please.....

I have tried another wireless mouse which works but dont have another keyboard. It is password protected so cant get in to do urgent work. Help please.

    Hello,
    You could try booting from the install disk #1 (holding down the "C" key while starting up with the disk in) that came with it and then running disk utility to repair the disk. Then restart.
    Booting into safe mode (holding the shift key right after the startup tone) and then after it comes up in safe mode, restarting can also help this issue.
    Booting into single user mode and running fsck may also help..

    Hopefully it is just a simple error on your HD that is causing this problem.
    (if you have already done all this before posting, i apologize for suggesting the obvious first... im new to this board and just trying to help!)
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Can't start MacBook Air––wheel turns around forever

    I had my MacBook Air A Rev C 1.86GHz 120 GB powered on and on sleep for about a week. I was using my other MacBook Air and so left this MBA on sleep.
    I decided to use the older MacBook Rev C Air again and I tried connecting the ethernet cable to it. The internet connection didn't work, so I restarted the computer thinking it might help.
    However, the computer DOES kind of start and I get the apple logo and the light gray background but the wheel goes on forever, for 30 minutes.
    When I tried Option-Start, I was able to get into the Windows partition fine, but when I tried Option-Start and selected Mac, I have the same problem––the gray screen and the wheel thing under the Apple logo going around for a while.
    I never had any major problems with the computer in the past, and I never had this problem of starting the computer. It was a bit sluggish––would take 3 minutes to start up, but never as long as this. I have tried rebooting several times and it still does not work.
    I should tell you that I pressed the "Shut Down" button for five seconds to shut down the computer.
    Do you think that caused it?
    How can I get the Mac OS back?
    Once again, getting into Windows Bootcamp is fine, it's just the Mac part I can't access.
    I have the hard drive saved on a backup.
    Should I try reinstalling the OS? And do a clean install? And then put all the information back onto the computer using the backup drive?
    Just checking here before I try that because that solution takes time.

    I went into Bootcamp (Windows XP Prof) and looked at the Macintosh HD drive. I got 97.8 GB total size and then 425 MB free space.
    Something happened when I connected the ethernet cord to the USB port and then connected the router. It mucked up my computer and swallowed up GB. I had about 10 GB spare before this happened.
    That is probably why the computer can't start up and is stuck at the gray screen with the whirly thing going around forever––there is no disk space for it use its start programs.
    I don't know how to clear the unwanted Gigabytes because I can only see Mac HD from Bootcamp.
    Any suggestions?

  • Forgot my keychain password, so i can't reset? help please..

    after rebooting my macbook pro because i'd forgotten my password.
    It had been working, but all of a sudden its asking me for my keychain password which i've forgotten so i cant change it to reset it?? help Please...

    Hi williampickup,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you've changed your user account password in OS X, but can't remember the corresponding password for the keychain on your computer. If you can't recall the password needed to unlock your keychain, see this article for the steps to reset your keychain:

  • Cannot send faxes w/ Apple USB modem, can you offer some help please?

    Hi,
    I am using the Apple USB modem connected to my brand new MacBook and so far could not send any faxes. The modem is working because I was able to receive 1 fax (which I sent to myself from my Nokia 9300i).
    The monitor tells me that: dialing... ok, connecting...ok, sending... and then it fails.
    On the other side (my Nokia 9300i) the fax is starting to come in but shortly thereafter it stops.
    I tried Apple Fax (embbedded in the OS) and also PageSender v.4 with the same results.
    Anyone of you can offer any suggestion/help as to why this is happening?
    Thanks

    I have always believed that the answer to this is yes, however, I have never had occasion to test it. In the past when we all used dialup it was either/or, because you couldn't fax with the same modem you were using to connect to an ISP at the same time. But since you are configuring internet through one network and faxing through another, it should work. Maybe someone actually doing it will wade in here.
    Of course, there are a lot of efax services out there now that let you send and receive faxes through the internet.

  • I've had to owe Apple money when I had no money on my card and now that I have money on my Visa Debit then it still won't go through and it won't let me download anything from my iTunes. Can I assist some help please?

    hi,
    So, basically... I had to owe Apple money when I had no money on my card but now I've got money on my card and it won't allow me to pay off what I need to and I'm still unable to even download apps, songs or anything and it's worrying me.
    Can someone help please?

    If you can't get the password correct, you CANNOT restore from that backup.
    However, if you've been using your phone as recommended by Apple, there should be minimal data loss.
    Your iTunes library is on your computer, so you can synch all your apps, music, movies, ringtones, etc, on to your new phone.
    Similarly, contacts should be synched to Address Book, Outlook, or a cloud service for you to easily synch back to your new phone.
    Pictures taken from your old phone and not synched to your computer are lost, but you would have been synching those photos to your computer frequently as recommended.  Other photos that you synch TO your iPhone are still on your computer.
    You won't be able to get text messages back.
