Cannot put OS X Lion 10.7 on my MacBook
Recently, I had noticed my hard drive(Macintosh HD) was very full, so I decided to wipe it clean. I followed many different tutorials over the internet which all said the same thing. When erasing my hard drive, many videos showed that putting OS X Lion 10.7 would be easy and not require an Apple ID, however when I attempted it, my MacBook has me sign into my apple account, then tells me that I must Lion. When browsing the Apple website, I have found no way to buy OS X Lion. Is there a way to get this resolved?
You can purchase Lion if you follow this link (you'll get a redeem code to use in the App Store):

Cannot boot into mountain lion after I have set the start volume to CD drive
Previously I need to boot from CD so I have set the start volume to CD drive by pressing command+option+P+R at the same time and change the start up volume to CD drive.
But right now, it can just start from CD but cannot boot into Mac OS (Mountain Lion) which is installed in the hard disk.
I have tried to press command+option+P+R at teh same time during bootup but seems like right now it doesn't recognize this command. I have tried pressing "X" or "option" or spacebar, etc during bootup but still it tries to boot from CD.
Anyway I can change the start volume back to my internal hard disk?
I have even disassembled my iMac and the CD drive to remove the previous CD as well. Then it still tries to boot from CD drive but now saying the device is not bootable and ask me to insert a bootup disk. I then tried to put the Mountain lion installation DVD (I previously created the installation DVD by following the DIY way from this link http://www.cultofmac.com/180925/how-to-make-a-bootable-disk-or-usb-drive-of-os-x -mountain-lion/) there in the drive but it still said the device is not bootable.
I have disassembled my iMac again to remove the mountain lion disk right now. So the CD drive is now empty. Anyway I can change the start volume back to my internal hard disk?
This is really frustrating .. Hope someone can help.
thanks!Have you ejected the CD/DVD by holding mouse button on bootup?
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

There are Craigslist apps that are nice, but trying using copy paste. Go to your photos, select the photo. Hold down your finger on it to copy. Then in the body of the post, hold down your finger and select paste.

I updated my ipod on my computer to the ios 5.1.1 and it updated but all of the music, movies, and apps were cleared off. I cannot put any of it back on please help!
Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup. -
HI, I need your help. How can I delete all data, when I do not have the special security code, which I didn´t remember ? I also think, that I never create this code before. But I cannot put my settings back.
You must remember the code, if you can't then take the phone and proof of purchase to an Apple Store.

At first, my macbook couldn't start up. It only displayed apple logo with a spinning wheel on grey screen for hours and hours. Then I decided to reinstall the OS. I tried so many times to install but the installing time said thousands of hours remaining to complete . I left the computer for days but it didn't install OS. I tried that connecting the Ethernet cable as well but it didn't work. Then I took out all my important files by connecting it to another macbook and formatted the hard drive. Then tried to install OS again. But still didn't work. I checked on you tube and changed the hard drive cable as well. Still didn't work. I cannot install OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro. Installing time is in negative hours. (-2,147,483,648 hours). Seriously looking for help.

Hello,
I bought music on my iPod touch. Why is it that I cannot put that music on my other Ipod(s)?
I downloaded my IPodTouch to my computer with no problems. I tried to drag the music I bought on my IpodTouch to other playlists on my computer and it did not let me. It refuses to let me even try to drag it to my computer music Library. It shows on my IPodTouch, but like I said, it will not let me drag it to my other Ipod(s) or even to my Music Library on my computer. Please help me.Aurthorise / Deaurthorise About

i have a problem. i created a form with check boxes. everything went fine, till today. a customer called me,
that he cannot put a mark in my check boxes. so i asked him about his version. he told me, that he has the
same version of acrobat pro x as i am using. then i asked him to try it in acrobat reader, but it was the same
result. after these tries, i changed the kind of mark to a simple cross. that did work then, but i donnot like it.
i want the nice marks! i saw, that acrobat pro x is using the font adobe-pi. could this be the problem? how
can i find out? or is it a different mistake? please help me, cause i don´t want to change my whole forms!
they are so many and i have to ensure that every customer can fill out my forms! it is so important!
nice greetings from vienna!thanks for the quick answer! but unfortunally it is not the solution you described. in my preferences
and the preferences of the customers program are in the pdf/a-viewing area two possibilities to set:
"No" and "only at pdf/a-documents". there is no "all". and we have the same setting in this section
of the preferences. -

I have made a number of books, this time am using the large book format (2nd time I have) Cannot put photos on page 2, it remains blank and lay out doesn't offer an option. I seriously do not want to start book with page 3, page 1 being script. Cannot over-ride current option. When and why was it changed? Is there any way to overcome this?
What theme are you using? In the themes that I've tested the first page, 1, is the page right after the blank inside cover.

I'm using iPhoto 8.1.2. If you're not getting this try the following; make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot and the option to rebuild the small thumbnails.

See if the book numbering changes.

nullIs this a problem with the Linux OS or with Firefox?
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program directory before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Remove the Firefox program directory before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.<br />
If you installed Firefox via the software repositories of your Linux distribution then uninstall the Firefox package there.
