Have I done something stupid?

I wanted to make a clean install of Yosemite. I had a Bootcamp partition and before reinstalling I wanted to make one single partition on my 3TB fusion drive. Unfortunately the disk utility wasn't able to do this as everything was grayed out. Stupid as I was I erased both partition and now I seem to be stuck in that I can't use the Bootcamp utility to erase the partition nor can I install Windows 7 on it.
Is there any help?

Here is the output

After you Restore from backup, sync the iPhone.

since i put firefox as web brouser my credit usage has doubled,hav i done something wrong? im getting rid of firefox shortly if i cant rectify usage prob..is there something i havnt checked? i dont use more than 4 basic functions. dont know how 2 copy and paste

Firefox is a totally free application, it doesn't charge you anything. If you downloaded Firefox from someplace that required you to sign up for it or charged you, then I suggest canceling your credit card (which you should do anytime there is suspected unauthorized activity) and uninstall Firefox. Then reinstall it from [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com].

I don't have the same version of OS X here but try System Preferences>Keyboard. Is there an option similar to "Use the F1, etc, keys as standard function keys"?
If so, and it has a checkmark, uncheck it & see if that does the trick.

I've done something stupid..... again

Hello.
Thank you to all who helped me out very late last night but I now have another question.
By accident I've deleted my "Movies" volume under my home folder. I have created a new one now but I have a blank folder in my side bar which always says "Volume not found" when I try to click or erase it.
How do I remove it and use the newly created folder as the main one?
Many thanks in advance again.
Chris aka Stupid.

Don't worry I just dragged it from the side bar and it disappeared. I kept trying to drag it to trash which just restored it before.
Nevermind!

OS 10.7 Lion the slowest system ever - have I done something wrong?

I recently upgraded to os 10.7 from the App store, along with all the various things that need upgrading as well (.e.g Microsoft Office, etc), on a 2.53 GHz 4GB/500GB Macbook Pro (1.5 years old).
The systems is the SLOWEST and most ponderous I've used in 20 years!! It can take 10 minutes to start up when opening a couple of programmes (Mail, Word, Excel), the Office programs crash incessantly, swtiching between applications is slow, starting up Paralles is GLACIAL, applications freeze all the time. I've still got over 100 GB free on the hard drive.
Either I've got something set up terribly wrong (but 10.6 worked amazingly), or this is the worst system Apple has ever put out!! HELLPPPP!!!

If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
Launch the Console application in the same way as above, and select “kernel.log” from the file list. Post the dozen or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.

Have Apple done something to disable Time Capsule as a media server?

Hi Guys,
Ever since I bought my Time Capsule I've used it as a media server for my iMac and two family MacBook Airs. The reasons are simple. It enabled all three Macs to access music in iTunes, store photos, video and correspondence. Plus it frees up a huge amount of space on each Mac and saves on duplication.
I also have a USB external connected to my Time Capsule so I can run a routine back-up to ensure our media files are never lost through a TC failure. All well and good.
I have included the TC in my Login items so it always appears on my desk at start up making it instantly available. This has worked fine up until recently and the volume has always been accessible like any other external hard drive. Now however I get a message on start-up effectively saying that the alias cannot find the original. Even if I try to 'fix' the alias I cannot access my media files.
I can see the TC in my Finder and when I try to access it I can only see it as a Sharepoint. In the meantime my iTunes is defaulting to the standard library folder and I can't access my thousands of photographs.
What is going on? Do I need to set something up differently or is this an Apple attempt to nail us to using TC as a Time Machine back up only?
Really fed up... :-/
Cheers
rich

As far as I'm aware there have been two updates to Airport/TC software/hardware yet I still cannot get my TC to mount on my desktop except as a 'sharepoint'. If I double click the icon it tells me the alias can't find the original item.
This makes it really awkward to use as I appear to have to disconnect and reconnect the TC until it lists the contents in a Finder window.
I'm thinking about binning the TC altogether and getting one of those LG NAS drives with a Blu-Ray burner built in. Does anyone have any user experience with these?
Does anyone from Apple ever read these pages? Surely they can fix this? I only inherited it after updating to Snow Leopard and indeed I'm still running Leopard on another partition and the TC works exactly as it should.
It isn't exactly a cheap piece of kit to just dispose of (especially in 1TB guise) and I really see no reason why that decision is being forced upon me because of a glitch in a purchased Apple software upgrade.
Come on Apple, sort it out!
Cheers
Rich

I've done something stupid with Mail - Please HELP

Hi,
While setting up another account I copied the inbox from one to another but forgot to copy the sent items.
I have retrieved the *.imapmbox folder from TimeMachine and can see sent emails in there etc but when i go to Mail and click Import Mailbox and select Import Apple Mail, I get the error saying that no Vailid applemail files were found.
I have also tried Files In mobox format and that doesnt work either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin

Thanks for the quick response.
I have tried this unfortunately but because this was the only account in Mail, time machine will not let me go back far enough, it will only go as far as when I created the new mailbox.

Help Have I done something wrong

I am hoping this is not permanent. I still have the thumbnails but when I go to edit then nothing shows up, the window is blank.
The only cause I can think of is that I dragged photos out of the trash (in the dock) and renamed them. I also renamed some others that were on my desktop. Now I am not sure if these were duplicates downloaded from my camera but is there anyway I can view them again in edit form. I am aiming to export these photos so that I can edit them in Elements 3
I knew that I should not play around with photos outside of iPhoto, but I didn't think these were part of the iPhoto library as they appeared on my desktop.
I also have another question that I posted on 25th March but have not got any further with it? I would appreciate anyone responding to that if possible, The answer posted was not clear.
thanks to everyone.

Shirley,
What version of iPhoto are you using? iPhoto 4 and earlier doesn't give a fig about photo files that are not in the iPhoto Library folder -- it doesn't even know they exist. Dragging photos out of the trash and renaming them on the desktop has nothing whatsoever to do with your iPhoto collection, and iPhoto has no way to prevent you from editing those photos in any third-party application.
I'm having great difficulty in trying to understand the problem. I'm not sure why you think any "export" would be involved with the "Elements 3" editing of a file already on your desktop. You should be able to do anything you want with any image that's not in the iPhoto Library folder.
Your description of thumbnails not associated with any actual images is a symptom of a photo library corruption -- often caused by manually moving files around inside the iPhoto Library folder (but you've described nothing of the sort). Rebuild your iPhoto database by starting iPhoto while holding the option+shift keys until you're prompted for confirmation.

Q180 reinstall on an SSD - have I done something wrong??

I recently swapped out the hard drive in my Q180 for a 64GB Crucial M4 SSD but I'm having problems getting the graphics card to be recognised as the HD7450 that it is - device manager keeps telling me that the GPU is a "6400 Series" card!?!?!?
I've tried using the graphics card drivers on the Lenovo website but all I get then is a "Standard VGA" in device manager and it wont let me select higher than 1440 resolution so when I went to the AMD website, the drivers it tells me are for the 7450 but they show up as the 6400!?!?
Am I missing something here???
Thanks.....

hi stevep94,
Accessing the hidden partition is very delicate and might make the OKR functionality unusable, please be careful not to delete any files inside the hidden partition.
See the sample image on how to access the hidden partition:

Firefox 5.0 Cannot select "use custom settings for history" firefox reverts to "remember history" Why? Cannot access my mail inbox. is this a bug or have I done something wrong

pc concerned is running XP home has firefox 5.0 I do not know
what plugins firefox has

If Firefox shows "Remember History" then that means that all history settings have the default value.<br />
Only if all History settings are default then you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />
"Use custom settings for history" reverts to "(Never) Remember history" if all History and Cookies settings have the default setting.<br />
You see "Use custom settings for history" if at least one of the History or Cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that you made changes.<br />

Files Missing: what have I done?

Probably done something stupid here. I downloaded and installed upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to CS5. Once I had CS5 up and running I uninstalled CS4. I am now getting a message on launch telling me that "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop." (despite the message CS5 actually runs ok, though it seems to run more slowly than before I uninstalled CS4). How do I address this: do I need to install CS5 again, or is it missing something from CS4 that I will need to reinstall? I was given to believe that the upgrade is really the full programme and doesn't actually 'upgrade' the older version; is this correct and if so why does uninstalling CS4 make it think some files are missing? Will I need to download CS5 again to deal with this?
Also I have noticed that CS5 is in some operations slower than CS4 despite having access to much more ram now it is 64bit, it is also quite jerky when panning across zoomed in images with my wacom tablet.
I am a photographic artist and as such not really very techie. I know my way around Photoshop, but don't know much about the tech side of these things, so that is why I am asking what are probably very naive questions.

Yes, the installer team is evidently made up of a bunch of incompetent, obviously Macromedia-oriented fools. The engineering teams for each of the point applications have no input into the installers and they probably would like to wring the necks of the individual members of the installer teams. A Photoshop Principal Product manager has publicly referred to the installer as "a huge embarrassment to all of us."
Niusha10000 wrote:
…bought CS4 with a free upgrade to CS5. Upgrading still kept the CS4 files on my computer…
However, installing an upgrade has NEVER overwritten the previous version, nor should it ever do so. I have all versions of Photoshop from 7.0.1 through 11.0.2 installed on my machine and they coexist very nicely. On the Mac we can even run more than one version simultaneously, just by launching the older version(s) first.
The problem is that the Uninstaller is also messed up, and when users run it, it removes components necessary to all versions, or more than one version.
Therefore, if you do not plan to keep previous versions installed on your machine, you should uninstall older versions BEFORE installing the new one.

Something has gone wrong - the AppleTV needs to be restored by connecting to a computer running current iTunes version using a microUSB to USB lead.
AppleTv2 does not require power when doing this.
Select the AppleTv Device on teh left in iTunes and restore to current firmware.
