I understand your situation. I cannot add anything more than what the directions contain in the provided link.
The forum medium that we are communicating with have severe limitations and are not very efficient in providing extensive detailed information.
What you need to do is find a local computer savvy person to assist and or show you what needs to be done. If you have an Apple store nearby, that would be a good place to get some assistance. If you have an Apple reseller locally, they may help you but they may want monetary compensation. A face to face dialog is the best approach.
Ciao.

New macbook pro with mavericks but time machine back up with Mountain Lion
Due to an incident with a cup of coffee my 2009 Macbook pro was unexpectedly destroyed. However I now have (thanks to Insurance) a new Macbook Pro which runs Maverick. I have a back up of my Mac from Time machine however my latest back up was using Mountain Lion, am I going to be able to re-install this back up onto my new computer? If not how can I get my data out of Time Machine onto my new mac?
You need to erase and format the new HD as OS X Extended (journaled), restore the TM backup onto it, and then reinstall Lion to put on the Recovery HD. Best is to do all of that in an ext HD enclosure, ensure that it boots the MBP, and then put it into the MBP. Once that's done and, if the MBP supports it, upgrade to Mtn Lion, which is what Lion should have been when it shipped.

PROBLEM: Early 2009 Mac Pro with Mavericks. (needs to reboot)
Hi! I´m a music producer and using my mac pro at a daily basis. Yesterday I saw the need to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks as many of the plugins and VST´s im using no longer have the support for Snow Leopard.
When finally the machine was done upgrading everything looked promising. But, after a new update on Mavericks, downloaded from the App Store, the computer needed to have a restart. When doing this an error occured saying "You computer needed to restart as a result of an error". This happens everytime i restart my mac!
Also, when I shut down the computer the white LED lamp at the front of the Mac is on and I need to push the powerbutton to shut it down (not holding the button down like a restart, just simply push it once)
My co-worker also did the upgrade on his Late 2010 iMac, with no fault whats so ever.
Has anyone got a solution for me? Would really appreciate the helpicy dock can cause it to eject, fail, nothing to do with our limited I/O

32-bit windows 7 install with Mavericks - need Boot Camp 4?
Hello,
I've tried fairly extensive searching and can't find precise answers, wondering if anyone can help?
I have a retina MBP (mid 2012) with latest OS X (Mavericks) installed, and thus Boot Camp 5 installed.
I have an academic version of Windows 7 ("for students and faculty")
My Windows version is 32-bit "upgrade" license, thus requires pre-existing OS key, ALTHOUGH I'm pretty sure it never asked for prior license when originally installed on my old windows machine.
1) Will this work? If TRULY an upgrade version of Windows 7 my understanding is no
2) 32-bit versions of windows won't work with Boot Camp 5, correct?
3) Can I install Boot Camp 4 on my machine, and thus install this 32-bit version of Windows 7 (assuming I can get around #1 above)
Thank you!Thank you,
1) according to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634? I cannot use Windows XP for MBP retina (mid 2012), thus I cannot install my original (full) version of XP, then upgrade win7 onto that?
2) How do I know if boot camp 4 will work with my hardware?
3) I was directed to http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1635 - described as "boot camp support software" - is this the same as boot camp 4? If I download this, will it "install" boot camp 4 on my system and allow me to install win7 32 bit version? (again, with the limitation that I might not be able to install my copy because it is an upgrade copy)
Thanks! -
I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out. I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs. I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store. But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions. I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
Any ideas?To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

i need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. this is an attempt to consolidate all my data, new and old so I can uninstall Maverick and put Mountain Lion back on my iMac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If the files have been overwritten and you don't have a backup, they're gone.
If they have not been overwritten, then there are third-party apps (for example Techtool Pro 7 ) with data recovery functions that might be able to retrieve some or all of your files.
Backing up is good. -
Can not take a screenshot with Maverick and track pad. can not use apple chat to talk with a tech. there are other issues also like I used to be able to go back a page with the delete button. No Maverick PDF to instruct on how to use Maverick
THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard.
What is wrong with this maverick OS?The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ... -
my new iphone 4S was bought from las vegas only for 1 month.And it is with serious quality problem, battery did not work and has liquid came out,Now i am in china, what phone no. or which mail i can contact with apple after-sale service center? I need to send back to US to amend or replace.
All of the guys in apple now told me that it is not worldwide guarantee,which is different from the promise when i bought,i am disappointed!!!
I need your help to tell me how i can contact with them and where i can send back the iphone to amend.The only email I have ever comes across for complaints would be [email protected] (it is not mis-spelled). I don't know if it is still of use.
Chat is going to be your only option for getting help, and you shouldn't be surprised if they don't offer help due to your product no longer being supported (sad but true).
If you had not mentioned that you have an email confirming you registered (double-check that) I would have told you that you probably did not purchase thru Adobe and never registered it so they have no record of you owning it. They do not email serial numbers for disc purchases - they are provided with the discs as you were told in chat. -
My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back
I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

BB Desktop Manager no longer works with Mac Maverick - Need Help Urgently
I have been a loyal Blackberry user since the Government of Canada officially began using these cell phones. I feel, however, abandoned by Blackberry (they obviously don't believe that it is easier to retain an existing customer than acquire a new one). I'm using a Blackberry Bold (9900) with a Macbook Pro. Everything was fine until I upgraded my Mac operating system to Maverick; my Blackberry Desktop Manager no longer works, so I cannot sync the content (contacts, calendar) of my phone with my Mac, but that's not the worst of it.
I recently had a momentary lapse and exceeded the 10 password attempts to access my phone... this accidentally wiped my phone clean... and because Desktop Manager does not work with Mac, I do not have a way to recover my data. Rogers was of no help and had Blackberry updated its desktop software months ago, as it should have, this issue would have been moot. I do not know how or why, but I was able to recover most of my data, but I'm not sure just how up-to-date tha data is and am still going through it, but I'm having issues with some functionality.
I'm in the US for several months and have suspended my Canadian services. Prior to the wipe, I was able to use wifi on my phone to send and receive emails with no problem. After the wipe, I can't send emails or bbms. I checked my blackberry internet service and all email accounts are good to go. BBMs are another issue. I need help. Suggestions please.Apple has ceased synchronization with Mavericks. The issue lies with Apple, not with the desktop software. To mitigate the lack of sync capabilities in Mavericks you can sync your contacts and calender on your Mac with the usual suspects (Yahoo, Google). Create a backup (archive) for Contacts and Calender on your Mac first, then create one of those email accouonts that allow syncing. On your 9900 and with BlackBerry provisioning enabled create the new or existing email account. See which email accounts can sync with BB, I know Yahoo is working fine. For Yahoo, get the Yahoo Calender sync (a few bucks one-off payment required), Contacts sync works off the shelf within BB. If you reset the 9900 you should be able to restore all data with BB DTM. Please note that emails you received during the 9900 reset and the date of restore will not be available on the device. You will still not be able to sync contacts/calender over BB DTM. I hope that helps.

With Mavericks I have to hold command key down and double click to get a sub folder to open in a new window. Can I go back to just double clicking ?
Of course. To do it, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and untick "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows".

Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD. The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases. I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive. We have a new 3 TB time Capsule. I tried excluding different parts of the software from the back-up but it didn't make any difference. I even tried exluding "invisible items" to no avail. Any ideas?
When you setup the wireless and ethernet in the computer.. ipv6 will be on automatic.. this is wrong for the latest TC firmware and airport utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
Go to the wireless and ethernet setup in preferences and change ipv6 to link local.
Once you do the big backup by ethernet the wireless will function fine for incremental.. it is obviously not estimating the size correctly..
A full back-up on the iMac would be about 650 GB. The partial updates that I have been trying start out at 115MB and keep growing indefinitely. The original back-up never finished nor have any of the follow-up attempts.
The first estimate should be the full backup but it will keep growing as the backup advances.. I would also delete any inprogress files to make sure it is not messing up .. delete even a sparsebundle if there is one for the imac on the TC and start afresh once you have ethernet connection.
See A10 here.
Pondini may have some other clues there to give you an idea of why the backup is slow or not finishing.. there is a lot of issues with TM when it decides not to work. -
I recently visited Egypt with my iPad. I am now back in the USA. I tried to download a new app, and I got a message that I could not download from the Australian store. I was told I need to switch back to the USA store. I did not deliberately switch to the Australian store. Why doesn't the iPad automatically switch back to the USA.

Hi,
In order to use Cha Cha's tools I need to roll back to version 3.6.16 or earlier as noted by them: "Please note: the ChaCha Toolbar is currently not compatible with FF 4.0 or 5.0. If you have Firefox version 4 or 5, please revert back to a previous version of Firefox. 3.6.16" Nees help with this as the erliest version that comes up readily is version 3.6.20
Thanks,
Frankie DunhamIf you haven't already used Firefox Sync, you don't have a Sync account.
If all you want to do is use Firefox Sync, you can install the Firefox Sync extension into Firefox 3.6.x versions. <br />

Hi there. I'm running tests on a Mamiya 645DF + with an Aptus II-7 back. The RAW files are "mos." What do I need to do in order to make the files compatible/readable in Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6?
Thanks!!I do not see a camera named "Mamiya 645DF" in the Adobe list of cameras supported by any and all versions of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). However, the Leaf Aptus-II 7 has been supported since ACR 4.6 in CS3 and ACR 5.1 in CS4.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Unless Mamiya somehow messes with the raw format of the Leaf back, your files should be opened by any version of ACR that runs with CS6. The current version is "ACR 8.6 for CS6".
Try Purging the Cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu in Bridge.
Tools > Cache > Purge Cache for Folder "xxxx".
