Getting out of disk utility when you want to restore your Mac???

I wanted to restore my Macbook Pro early 2011, so I shut down my computer then turned it on and held down option. I got to the disk utility app but now I'm having second thoughts about restoring it. I can't get out of disk utility and get back to my homescreen... Any help? It's been irritating me a lot.

If you've erased everything, then you need to reinstall OS X:
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • What to do when you want to restor your ipod but it says there is not enough space to do it ?

    My problem is that i have 21go of the section "others" on my iPod 5. So, I went on internet to find what is the solution (or what to delete to get more space on my iPod), and I found that it was a problem to have more than 5go of "others", and that the only solution was to restor it. My second problem is that I can't even restor it because it says there is not enough space to do it. So, I deleted stuff and there is now 4.73go of free space. But it still says that there is not enough space to restor it !!!

    No, it says that i don't have enough space on my iPod ;$ But it's ok now, I went on youtube to find a way to restore an iPod (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzyy4puapig). But thank you for trying to help me !!

    Guitar21,
    your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?

  • Hi i want to use boot camp for the first time but i was wondering if when you install windows in your mac there is any risk of virus?

    Of course there is. There is with any computer system that you connect to the internet or transfers files to and from. When you run Windows on your Mac you increase the chance from zero that you will get a Windows based virus to virtualy the same risk as any other Windows user.
    The weaknesses in Windows OS and applications are well trodden by virus and worm malcontents the world over. That doesn't mean that OSX is exempt though. All it will take is once and the entire Mac world will sit up and take notice......

  • IWeb pages slow to upload when you want to view from .Mac

    I've finally uploaded by website. I intially had a website on Yahoo but loved the ease of use with iWeb. However, I do not like losing my domain name so I linked my new .Mac website address to my Yahoo site (www.inabindstudio.com). There is a link there to take you to .Mac. I've noticed that is takes a while to get the pages to load. You see HTML coding and then the page slowly builds up. I am not that tech savvy, so I need someone to tell me is this normal? How can I get these pages to load up faster? Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks.

    Hi Tassy,
    I also have noticed iWeb pages do tend to load a lot slower than websites built via other methods. This is true even when you host an iWeb site from somewhere other than .Mac.
    From what I have read here in the discussions, the problem is in the kind of files iWeb creates to make the pages look really nice and uniform - they use a lot of PNG images. These are generally larger files than JPEG images, but many people agree the result is a better looking page. But the flipside of that, is that viewers with a slower connection speed will see the page load fairly slowly, and it can be very pronounced in some cases.
    There's no good workaround right now. Hopefully in future patches and updates Apple can improve things. Its something that has been discussed on this forum at length. If you are interested in finding out more you can search iWeb Discussions for discussions on slow loading iWeb sites, and you will find many posts like this one

  • HT4211 why youtube stops playing when you want to see your facebook status

    i am a new user of iphone , i want to know why does youtube stops playing when you switch to another app, why cant it continue playing while we check someother app.

    Probably because Google did not program it to keep running in the background.
    Its up to the App developer to provide this functionality.

  • How to get rid of port number when you want use SJSAS as your production we

    Hi my question is rather simple. If I want use my computer as the web server backed by Sun Java System Application Server suite installed on the same machine, how can other internet users access my set domain without knowing my host port # (not typing :8080 after IP address)?
    thanks

    Tomcat is a webserver/servlet container combination. In that case, you make me wonder what you need the app server for.
    Anyway, the answer remains the same: read the manual or ask the support. There's a Sun App Server forum here.
    http://forum.sun.com/jive/category.jspa?categoryID=10 - but you''ll have to configure Tomcat.

  • Is there a possibility to re-introduce the functionality which did exist in earlier versions of Firefox which made it possibble to click only once on 'history' in the Firefox browser toolbar when you wanted to see your session surfing history?

    Does someone know if there does exist the functionality in Firefox of showing a longer list of the websites already visited (the history) without using CRTL-SHFT-H ?
    I don't like to use CRTL-SHFT-H all the time!!

    There's a "History" button ''(looks like a clock)'' in the Customize Palette, which opens the Sidebar view of History - you can move it to one of the Toolbars for one-click access.

  • We love apple email, but it does not play wall with other venders when you want to use your own domain (lags, disconnections, etc.)?   What vendor should we use to make it push and work well?  We want to stay with Apple Mail.

    Help, our AppleMail does not play well with other Vendord to use our own domain.   iCloud mail works great, but so far others we have tried lag, disconnec, etc. not nearly as good as icloud mail.   Should we try exchange or office 365 plans with Apple Mail/  a lot more expensive?

    Microsoft Exchange is the best business solution, Office 365 will give a hosted version that works well, as you noted it is not the cheapest. You should also look at Zimbra, an excellent service.

  • What does it mean when you can't restore your iPhone4?  After I run "restore" I receive a message telling me my phone is in recovery mode and I must run "restore"  HELP!

    I can't restore my iPhone 4.  It went nuts today.  Went to "voice control", called people on my contact list, home button is dead.  Thought a sync would help. New software available.  Did download.  Can't load anything.  Phone in "recovery mode"  do restore.  OOPS!  I did restore, and then am told the phone is in recovery mode, do it all again.  OK I have.  Same message.  HELP!

    Thanks Larry.  I ended up at the genius bar at the local Apple store.  My home button had died which is why the phone was constantly going to Voice Control.  The phone was replaced.  Thanks for answering.  I checked out the link and ordinarily that would have done the trick.

  • HT1414 When I hit restore a file menu from my computer pops up and I am not sure what file to put in to get my iphone to restore from.  I don't get the box that says are you sure you want to restore.  So how do I get it to restore so I can see if this fix

    I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front.  This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out.  I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists.  I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone.  I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page.  A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone.  I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone.  I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)?  Thanks

    I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current.  Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.

  • How do I get iTunes back when I get the error message ; the application "I Tunes" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore it's windows. Do you want to restore it's windows?

    how do I get ITunes back when I get the error message :
    The application "ITunes" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore it's windows.  Do you want to restore it's windows?
    I already tried reloading ITunes and it still doesn't startup.

    You didn't mention but are you still running a version of iPhoto older than iPhoto 11?
    If yes, then go to the App Store and purchase the iP 11 app and install it. Back up your photo library first.
    Once iP 11 is installed and has imported all your photos do a restart of the Mac.
    This should resolve most issues with iTunes 10.6 and you should be able to run iTunes and sync up your iOS devices.
