Erased os x and its recovery partition to install ubuntu (elementary). want os x back, can't seem to figure it out. anyone know?
had an install disc of earlier os x release, but ubuntu didn't want to recognize it. would only show an harddrive image labeled "windows" which led back to elementary os.
If this on a Mac from late 2011 or newer you can use the Online Internet Recovery system to repartition the drive as one partition formatted in the OS X Mac format and reinstall the original shipping version of OS X. To boot from the Online system at startup hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. From that you use Disk Utility to do the repartitioning and formatting.
If older than a late 2011 model and if you Mac came with System reinstall discs you need to boot from the OS X reinstall discs and then do the repartitioning.
To boot from the original reinstall disc at startup hold down the c key to boot directly from the OS X install disc or the Option/Alt key to get a boot selection screen and then select the OS X reinstall disc.

How to unpartition D and its recovery partition and add to C using Windows 8.1 tools
I have a new Fujitsu Lifebook, Windows 8.1 with a 600gb disk and when I go into Disk management I see the following partitions in this order.
Healthy (Recovery Partition) 768 mb 100% free
Healthy (OEM Partition) 768 mb 100% free
Healthy (EFI Partition) 260 mb 100% fre
C: Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash dump, primary Partition) 340 GB 88% free
Healthy (Recovery Partition) 350 mb 100% free
D: Healthy (Primary Partition) 340 GB 100% free
Disk Management does not let me free up the second recovery partition (between C: and D:) so I am not able expand C: after I free up D: because they are not contiguous. How, using Windows 8.1 tools can I safely expand C: so that it'll be 680 GB (taking
the space from D:)?Unfortunately your post is off topic here, in the TechNet Site Feedback forum, because it is not Feedback about the TechNet Website or Subscription. This is a standard response I’ve written up in advance to help many people (thousands, really.)

I'm not sure what to post in? So here goes. I'm a photographer and had 4950 pics edited and store on my mac. My daughter was setting up photo shop and she took iphoto and put it in the trash by accident. We tried retrieving it and nothing! It shows that all of the pics all still in iphoto and the thumbnails are there but no pics? Anyone know how to put these back? It took me over a year to edit these! I'm really freaking out! HELP PLEASE!!!!! THX
First locate the file with the name: iPhoto Library
Search on your Mac for it if need be using the Find command in the File menu.
When you find this file, hold down the control key and click on it, select Show Package Contents.
Look for a folder called Originals or Masters. That folder has the original photos.
The folder called Previews has the edited photos.
If your iPhoto database is damaged, you might in the worst case have to manually re-import these photos into a new library, but that's only a last resort. Don't move or change anything in the iPhoto Library for now.
If you found this iPhoto Library file, then you still have your actual photos. Now don't touch those photos or move anything. Close up the iPhoto Library window. Put the iPhoto Library back in your Pictures folder. Run iPhoto and hold down the option key. Select that iPhoto Library when requested to select the iPhoto Library. If that doesn't work, select "other" and navigate to that iPhoto Library and select it.
Let follks here know which of the above steps worked and which (if any) did not. -

I alredy try change the definitions and preferences of the finder and don't solve the problem.Choose your Home folder "Get Info" (command-i) and be sure you have "read & write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. Check under "General" section to be sure it isn't locked. If that is correct, launch Applications/Utilities/Terminal and at the prompt copy & paste this command…
mkdir ~/.Trash
Press return.
If you get a message that the folder already exists, copy & paste these commands...
sudo chown $UID ~/ .Trash
Press return.

So i have an apple ipod touch 1st generation and it is not charging! It shows the charging sign but its taking a really long time to charge. Ive had it charging for at least 3 hours and it still says under 20% so can someone help me figure this out??
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I had to get a new hard drive in my 27 in IMac. I used time machine to get everything back on my computer. I just turn on time machine and its says it's preparing over 800,000 items to back-up, it never back-up, it stop and starts the process over again.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then repair the backup/TM drive. -
I feel that Verizon has conducted and treated a long time customer in a predatory manner just to make a few dollars. I added a hotspot feature on my Iphone and its called a plan change. I wanted 1 gig and ended up with 4 gigs. If 1 gig was not available I was not informed. Plus the charge for the convertion to a new plan. I called today and I cancelled the plan so I 'm being charged another fee for the plan change. I have really enjoyed working with Verizon but I will have to start looking for another provider.

... I was clear that I was not interested in the Edge plan if I could not get the upgrade pricing. Several times I made this clear.
Then the employees, and you, don't understand EDGE. It's not a service plan, it's a PAYMENT option to pay the full price of the phone in installments, and have no "contract" or obligation to stay with Verizon once the phone is paid for, which you can do at any time. So if you were trying to get discounted pricing, and the reps were talking EDGE, you were talking at cross purposes....
In order to get the upgrade pricing, you need to sign a contract for 2 years of service, and agree to an ETF if you leave Verizon before the two years. -

I installed Lion on my MAC book and now want to uninstall it, can't seem to find a way to do it, any suggestions?
In order to uninstall Lion and "downgrade" your OS, you have to erase your drive. There is no other way. If you have a bootable clone or a Time Machine backup, it is easy - just boot with it, erase the drive, and clone back. Or, do you have your install disks? Boot from that disk, erase the drive and reinstall.
Make sure you back up your important files first since they will be gone. -

how do I share movies/music between my computers. I have opened shared on both computers and both are on, but i am not able to drag anything from one to the other. Does anyone know where the settings button is on the bottom of the itunes screen?
Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?

Trashed items remain visible in Smart Album
When I delete an item from a smart album (with Cmd-Delete) it is supposed to be trashed. Indeed it appears in the trash, but also remains visible in the browser view of the smart album. Only when I empty the trash, the item disappears from the album.
