Cancelling reinstallation of OS on MacBook - does it any harm?

Hi! Kind of stupid question this one here, but cant get it out of my head, so I´ll just go ahead and ask you guys. I got the idea that I wanted to change my home folder name (which also is kind of stupid, since it got nothing to say what name it has), and figured that the only way to do that was by reinstalling the OS. However when I got through the first steps and it started downloading Mountain Lion from the internet, I thought to my self - this is stupid and a waste of time - so I cancelled the download. By then the bar showed maybe 1/3 or 1/4, which makes the question - and I figure it doesnt since that would be kind of stupid (third time I´ve said it now - I know) - could this do any harm to my existing OS or other components on my MacBook?
Appreciate answers

Did it? Have you subsequently had problems?

New 13" Macbook Pro trying to connect to a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 as second monitor. I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. The Macbook does not sense the second monitor (TV). Help?!

I've been a Mac since 2008, so I know my way around the system pretty well. This issue, however, has me stumped. I had an iMac until now and only now am I experiencing some difficulty with my new MacBook Pro. The model I have is the newest 13" Macbook Pro model and I'm trying to connect a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 42" HDTV as a second monitor via the Thunderbolt port.
It worked the first two times and hasn't worked since, after 10-15 attempts with different configurations, turning things on n off, restarting the mac, unplugging the cables, adapters, TV, resetting the P RAM, etc... I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. No matter what I do, the Macbook does not sense the TV as a second monitor anymore.
I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and their "genius" there had it working fine with a DVI connection to a regular monitor. The Panasonic TV I have has HDMI connections and one VGA connection which does not support HD, but no DVI option. I want an HD connection to mirror or extend my MacBook Pro screen. At the Apple Store, they didn't have a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so he could not try that out for me.
Anyone else have this configuration or another similar one with a Panasonic HDTV?
Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?! Help!!
P.S. I'm running Mountain Lion, if that wasn't already obvious. Everything is up to date in my App Store as well.
Thanks!

Hi There,
I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

How do I add my new iPhone4s to iCloud's "Find my iPhone"? I followed the iCloud instructions and turned on Macbook Pros' system prefs to "find my mac", turned on iPhone4s's "location services" and set up iCloud, etc. In the "Find my iphone" tab of my new iCloud account (on my Macbook Pro) my iPhone4s still won't show—but my macbook does show. I had my iPhone4s set up at the phone store (2 days ago) and It receives gmail, my contacts and calender entries, the weather, etc. I installed the "Find iPhone" app from iTunes on the iPhone4s, synched to iTunes, even reset the phone, but the only device that gets located is my Macbook Pro. I can send a "sound" message to my Mac (and the Mac recieves it) but unable to see the iPhone4s from my Mac, let alone send any message. Any suggestions to get the iPhone4s device to appear in iCloud?
Thank you in advance for your help.

OK, I figured it out...I deleted the iCloud account off my iPhone (Settings, iCloud, Delete Account), and then added iCloud back in (Settings, iCloud, SignIn)....and then my email (iCloud) and "Find my phone" features worked! Nice!!!!

HT1338 I am still with 10.5.8 and my macbook does not show any software updates, i am willing to pay for a new software if it is needed, because i can't connect mi iPhone 5S or iPad mini to iTunes. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

How do i update 10.5.8 if my macbook does not show any software updates?

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

New macbook does not "see" my network, old macbook pro and iphones do...

Yesterday I installed an upgrade to my airport extreme base station, now my macbook pro and the 2 iphones in the household see the wifi network but the other macbook does not. It does see the neighbors wifi networks and will see it when I connect via a cable to the base station by no wireless connection... help!

I am having a similar problem. I have 19 iBooks in a classroom and, suddenly, none of them can see the AirPort Express network when they log on. Instead, the iBooks try to connect to a Windows-based school network. I have designated the AEBS network as the only preferred network but the iBooks NEVER try to connect to it first. However, if you click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar, the AEBS network is clearly visible and clicking on it immediately connects you to the AEBS network.
When I originally set up the network in January, everything worked just fine. After the upgrade to AE Firmware 5.7 and various OS X 10.4.5 updates, everything has gone downhill. I had the dropped signal problem that so many have reported. I downgraded to AE Firmware 5.5.1 and followed J. Exby's procedure to upgrade the AEBS framework. That solved the dropped signal problem. But now my iBooks cannot find the AEBS network when they log in.
I have set the AirPort Network Preferences to connect Automatically or to Preferred Networks with the same result. I have also set the option to "Keep looking for recent networks" and it never finds our AEBS network. Yet, the network can be accessed manually through the AirPort icon.
BTW, I use one of the iBooks myself and it works perfectly and finds my preferred network in 2 other locations with non-AEBS networks. But it cannot see its own preferred network in school.
This is really bugging my students--and me! Any suggestions? THANKS!

MacBook does not go to sleep lid is closed

My new MacBook does not go to sleep when I close the lid. I have to manually tell it to sleep before closing the lid.

I'm having the same problem too. I only noticed it recently!
I have Parallels VM installed, but not BootCamp, but just incase I restarted the Mac then with nothing running tried closing the lid but MacBook stays on. I've checked the Energy Saver settings, usual put computer to sleep after 1.5 hrs and put the display to sleep after 15 mins, but that shouldn't make any difference when I close the lid.
I don't have an external monitor, and i unplugged by USB mouse too.
Another thing I noticed yesterday is that even after leaving the MacBook idle for 1 hour, my screen had not dimmed, and Skype had not gone to 'Away' even though it is set to goto 'Away' after 5 mins. It's as if there was something using the computer? I dunno!
And Ideas?
And if I DO tell it to goto sleep before I close the lid, when open it again, I need to hit 'anykey' wake it!

My MacBook does not start

My MacBook does not start up. I do not get further than the apple logo and spinning wheel

You could try the processes described in the following Support article to test and troubleshoot the computer, before applying the SMC reset section here...
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
This covers several items, including SafeBoot and others, that could help resolve the problem; including the reset notion itself. When you troubleshoot, not all items are necessary; stop at the first one that works. If none of them work, try them again. Maybe up to three times.
If you have the OS X install disc DVD, you may need to use it at some point, in troubleshooting or repair; since there also may be a problem with the hard disk drive or system startup files on it. The booted OS X install disc allows one to use OS X utilities, such as Disk Utility, to attempt repair; not limited to installations, the utility can attempt a repair on an unmounted system disk drive, thus booting Mac from the DVD.
Good luck & happy computing!

Macbook does not start

Greetings. This is my issue:
I don't know why the macbook does not restart, if you try to restart it, it comes to black screen and i had to press the power button twice (Turn it absolutely off and turn it up), i took it to an apple authorized service center and he put an external HDD and restart it from this HDD then restart my macbook and it restarted normally, a few days later the problem persist.
Now the big deal: I turned it on, open safari and immediately it comes black screen and the status white led start blinking, i press the power button and stop blinking and press it again but it does not start, the blinking comes again... I left it off for an hour or so.
One hour later it boots normally but in few seconds it freezes and becomes a message in the screen that reads: " You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button". Then i press the power button, when i tried to restart it again there came a lot of strange stripes in the screen, gray and black with some color dots, a very weird thing, the "Start up chime" sounds about tree times and the stripes keep changing, always stripes. I restart it again, and the same thing happens one more time, and the third time i restart it it does not show anything on screen, all black and no sound, i tried putting out battery and everything Apple says to do when macbook does not boot, but nothing happens... i press the power button the sound of the HDD (I guess) that always sound, i can hear it, and the status white led is on, but not blinking, but nothing else....
what should it be?
it is a late 2007 macbook and out of warranty, does not have apple care.

I am having trouble connecting to wifi network via airport express on my windows xp pc, but I know it is working because I can connect on my macbook, does anyone know what the problem is?

Tell us more about the problem, I can think up 100&1 different reasons, but don't have time to go through all the possibilities. So.. what happens?

My new macbook pro (Mountain Lion) will not log into my 1and1 server to connect to my e mail. My snow leopard macbook does not have this problem - Apple support say it is a 1and1 problem! do I have to wait for an update of Mountain Lion?

My new macbook pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.1) will not log into my 1and1 outgoing mail server. ( It will receive mail - but does not send)My old Snow Leopard macbook does not have the same problem ( server settings etc. are identical) . Apple Support say its a 1and1 problem , 1and1 say it is an operating System prob - I have tried changing port numbers.

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!

MacBook does not see internal hard disk

Sorry if this is already answered somewhere, but I have searched so many forums that my head is swimming!
My boyfriend connected a new USB drive to his MacBook, formatted the new disk, copied some backup data onto it. At some point, the MacBook hung, so he held down the power key until the MB turned off.
Each time we restart it now, we get the flashing-folder-with-question-mark, and Tiger won't boot.
I have tried almost all of the tips I can find, and was even willing to reinstall OS X, however... the MacBook does not appear to see it's internal hard disk. As such, I cannot perform first aid on the disk via booting to setup DVD, and I cannot reinstall OS X.
If I boot from the OS X install disk, and use Disk Utility, the MB only sees the CD-RW/DVD-RW drive and the install disc. No internal HD ever shows up.
Help! I am at a loss as to how to fix...

Let me guess: you're also experiencing a low clicking noise from the right side of your mac immediately after you turn it on, right? Same thing happened to me and others, in fact there are several threads on this subject already:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=960977&start=0&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5325539&#5325539
My drive was done for, and no data could be saved. I ended up buying a new drive, and now I'm just hoping the same thing doesn't happen again. I'm beginning to get a sense that this problem is occurring on a more frequent level now that the 1st generation macbooks have reached their 1-year birthday, give or take. Let's hope Appel fesses up if it is indeed a design flaw.
Anyway, you most likely need a new drive. I just got a Hitachi Travelstar 250 gb for around 200$US, so they're quite cheap, and VERY easy to install, just 3 screws, slide it in, boot up, run disk utility, erase/format and you're good to go.

My macbook does not have a firewire port. Is there any kind of adapter that will allow me to use my advc 300 (which need to plug in to the FireWire port)?

My macbook does not have a firewire port. Is there any kind of adapter that will allow me to use my advc 300 (which need to plug in to the FireWire port)?

Firewire, USB and the recent thunderbolt use completely different protocols, therefore there are no adapters for mutually adapting them, just a computer, which allows connecting them, and will work as an interface. For example, if you have an external disk in an enclosure with only FW connection and another one with USB connection, just your mac, having both, allows their interconnectivity.
If your mac does not have FW (the brief alu MB series, Air) you cannot connect a FW device, if only FW port is there.

Macbook does not shutdown

it's kind of weird that i often experience this, especially when i'm using wireless broadband: macbook does not shut down after i click shutdown..it just remain on with the desktop image on it, all other icons and the dock are gone though..i tried clicking the "command-option-esc" command to force quit it but still, it does not turn off..my only last recourse is to take off the battery so to shut it down..
pls help, i don't want to keep on doing this because it surely will affect either my battery or my hardware or, even worse, both..
and also, from the very start, after setting up my bluetooth in the systems preferences, it does not seem to work with any other bluetooth devices that i saved on it..

Hello coaobrien
Welcome To Apple Discussions
Follow "i love my macbo...s' advise.
And in the future don't take out the battery, try pressing down and hold the powerbutton for about 5-10sec. until the Macbook shuts down.
Another helpful tip... In the Mac world there really is no need to power-off your Mac unless you are upgrading and the OS requires it, or if yo are experiencing issues sometime a shutdown and power-up can clear issues and if your Mac is going to be away from AC power For awhile, like days, such as traveling. Then you may think about powering off. Other then that you really just need to shut the lid and let it sleep.
