Factory reset can't find my disk

hey, I installed the maverick developer preview 10.10 and came across the most annoying thing. my mac froze and after re-sating it I got the apple symbol loading screen but it wold only load it half way. safe mode produced a flashing folder with a question mark so I strayed to factory re-set it. In the lion installation it appeared that the mac cant find its disk, in disk utility it display "disk0" and "Mac OS X Base System" but non of the options work. please help!.

Unfortunately, no one here can or is allowed to help as we are not allowed to discuss anything about not yet publicly released software and your problem was obviously caused by your install/uninstall of a beta version (which can cause havoc on any system). Please post your question in the special developer forums Apple makes available to you (if you are a developer); if not, you do not have a legal copy of it since the beta has not yet been released to the public.

I tried to reset the ipod but I cannot syncronize the new music I added.
Could it be a problem of the songs or the ipod?

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

Try calling 1-800-676-2775. Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk). *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
Have you considered Snow Leopard?. Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

Can we find ASM DISK on which a DB datablock exists ?

Can we find ASM DISK on which a DB datablock exists ?

Hi,
Yes in some cases I think, its not easy though - it would also be dependent on how your disk group is configured, for instance if you have variable extent sizes then it will be much more difficult.
Why do you need to do this?
Thanks

Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

After factory reset, can't set up Airport Extreme!

Hello all!
American living in germany here. I am using a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11
I am using an Airport Extreme Station with a Siemens Router. I couldn't get my iphone to work wirelessly via Airport, so I decided to do a factory reset. Now after having done that, my Airport Setup Assistant recognizes my Airport but after clicking continue to proceed, I always get the message that it is unable to find the base station.
I should add that my internet stopped working about two weeks ago. I thought it might be my system software so I reinstalled that on my Mac. Turns out it was my ADSL box so my phone company sent me a new one. I did get my Airport to work with my old settings and the new box....but after this factory reset, my computer can't communicate with it.
Help please....I need to be wireless again! Now I am on the internet via an ethernet cable.
Thanks!

Try connecting to the base station with an ethernet cable for setup purposes.

Lightroom can't find external disk by itself

Since uprgrading to Lightroom 2 (currently 2.2) I'm having this strange problem (this is on a Macbook Pro (OSX 10.5.6).
I keep my photo's and my catalog on an external SATAlink harddrive. Often when I start Lightroom, it tells me that it can't find my catalog and gives me the option to manually browse for it. When I select my external drive, I notice that somehow there's been added a number to my external drive's name (the current name that LR uses is 'external disk 8', where the disks real name is just 'external disk'. The pattern is such that when I'll open LR tomorrow, LR will probably not be able to find my catalogue, and when I browse for it, I'll find that LR (or my OS?) has renamed my external disk to 'external disk 9'.
Also, LR hasn't been able to locate my catalogue backup folder (which is also on the external drive). I have to manually direct LR to the backup folder each time. I guess this is the same problem.
If anybody has a clue what the problem could be, I'd very much like to hear it. It's not a huge problem to browse for the external disk when LR starts, but it's anoying nevertheless...
Richard

Richard-
Delete your Prefs file, always make sure your external is mounted before launching LR, then launch by double clicking on the proper .lrcat file. I'd frankly change the name of my external. as anything that even looks like a default name is a no-no in my book.

I have lost all my photos ? By doing factory reset can i get my pictures???

Help please anyone I have lost all my baby photos ? MY computures was total frozen and I have do do a factory reset ? how can i get my picture and videos back ??

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Windows can't find air disk

I have been searching for a long time now and can't find any answer how get my windows xp to connect to air disk..! Can anyone help would be greatly appreciate.
( I use air disk to share data in office, not to syn or anything )
Thx

You need to install the Airport Base Station Disk Agent software that comes on the installer disk with the Airport Base Station. You might be able to download the software from Apple, too. This will put an icon on your system tray that allows you to access the AirDisk.

System can not find hard disk

After starting up my macbook Air, a blinking question mark pops up. I switch off the laptop. Restart the laptop with 'ALT' button pressed. 'Disk Utility program' does not show the 'macintosh HD' disk. So apparently it can not find it. Your advice is appreciated, how I can refind the hard disk

thanks, unfortunately no positive impact. Hard disk can still not be found. I also executed the tips as mentioned in:
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
and these also did not resolve the issue. So any other suggestion is welcome

Can't find restore disk for 10.2

Have a 2003ish imac & can't find the restore disk & would like to sell imac. How do I clean it? What can I tell the next person that wants to buy?
Is there a way of replacing that disk from somewhere?
Thanks

You can use Target Disk Mode to zero out your drive, and you can call Apple Customer Relations 800-767-2775 if you are in the US, and see if they have the install discs for your machine.
If you can't get the discs, you should buy a retail copy of the latest OS your machine can run, and use that both to remove your data, snd to give to the purchaser.

Can't find destination disk when reinstall the Mac OS

Get some problem and need to reinstall the OS, placed the installation DVD and could not finished the process - it stopped at cold not find the destination disk to install the OS. Please help

Hi folks
I have the same problem with a 2nd generation G5 iMac. I tried to erase and install Tiger (retail version bought from Mac Store after consultation with Mac support), failed and hung up for 6 hours until I switched the thing off and my hard drive icon no longer appears in the startup list. I can't even reach options stage on install procedure - my hard drive icon has GONE! So no utilities from the Install disk. The mistake I may have made was to try the Unix erase and Install procedure.
I have tried to get in using my mac mini as target drive but this seems not to offer a way out of the s**t! - can't find a way of reinstating a hard drive icon for the iMac in the startup folder.
Any bright ideas out there or do I need to get a new Apple formatted hard drive?
Many thanks.
