HELP?! Am literally in the middle of 'trying' to restore

MY MB White 2009 w/ Lion. So I'm at Disk Utilities: after I verified/ repaired the permissions+disk. 
I had a wild hair (not knowing What I'm doing)  and hit
Restore w/my Hd selected,
Chose to "Restore a disk image on disk",
'Source' - my Hd______
'Image'  -  I chose Recovery Hd, which led me to next column w/a file I can open- 
com.apple.recovery.boot   then another file,
basesystem.dmg which I do know is the disk image , right?/?
So I opened that which it spit out
' disk1
    Mac Osx Base System'  ... so ok great I got this far.  Now at the top it gave me options
'First Aid, Erase, Restore'????
So I'm stuck and need guidance Please!?!?  What's the next step???
Thanks so much anyways for reading.

Terry,
I would discourage you from upgrading to 4.15. There were lot of problems with that particular version. I would try upgrading to 4.16SP1.

  • My help file disappeared in the middle of a session

    closed help window in the middle of an iPhoto session.  when I reopened it the window was blank. relaunching iPhoto didn't fix problem.  any ideas?

    Have you tried a Reset... you will not lose any Data or Settings...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Please help. Line in the middle of screen

    Hi, I've an iBook G4, 1.33 mhz. There is a straight line right across the screen, in the middle. How do I remove it.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Have you tried restarting the iBook? Sometimes a glitch like this will be corrected by a simple restart.

  • Ok, so my iphone lost all of its data, but right before it did, it backed up on the icloud. i tried to restore using my mac, but it said that my iphone hadnt backed up, even though it had. my iphone says it backed up, my mac doesnt. please help

    ok, so my iphone was factory reset, but it backed up right before it lost its data. i tried to restore using my mac, but my mac says that it hadnt backed up, even though it definately did. please help. i have an iphone 5c by the way. thanks

    you can try to download your icloud backups to computer, such as Tenorshare iPhone data recovery. this tool have 3 way to find back iphone data .
    1, directly recover data fom iPhone (your devices have been factory reset, this way no useful)
    2, extract data from your iTunes backup (if you sync your iphone 5c to iTunes before)
    3, download iCloud backup files to computer. (use your Appple ID and load your data to computer)
    just try it~~ good luck for you!

  • Grey circle with cross in the middle when trying to boot from Tiger DVD

    When I try to boot from the DVD that installs Tiger, it get the Apple logo and spinning wheel as usual when booting a Mac OS. Then the Apple logo turns into a grey circle with a cross in the middle, signifying "no"! I haven't locked my firmware, but could it be locked? I got the computer from Apple when my original G5 died (it was a lemon). Did Apple lock the firmware???
    The OS on my Macintosh HD is Leopard.

    So what specific model is this iMac? Is it a G5? Or is it an Intel iMac?
    If it is a G5 you have posted in the wrong forum, this is the Intel forum. A G5 is not an Intel Mac, it has the IBM PowerPC CPU.
    If this is an Intel, which Intel model is it? Did it come with Mac OS X Tiger installed on it? If it did not come with Tiger, if it came with Leopard, you cannot put Tiger on it.

  • Itunes detects my 5S but not the 3GS. Trying to restore the device to unlock it. Tried everything listed! any ideas

    I am trying to restore my old 3GS. As a part to unlock my device I need to restore the device. But iTunes does not show the phone on the list. The phone gets recharged though! On the other hand my 5S works perfectly fine. I have installed the latest version of iTunes and tried all steps mentioned in the site but it is in vain. Anyone know how to overcome this? Any ideas?

    Hey there skapilgan,
    It sounds like your iPhone 3GS is not being recognized in iTunes but an iPhone 5s works without issue. Without knowing what steps you have already tried, I would recommend reviewing the steps in the following article to help resolve the issue:

  • I have the iPhone 5 trying to restore app with 27 sessions phone crashes

    I bought 27 hypnosis sessions through "sleep soundly" app when I had my iPhone 4 when I upgraded to the 5 and tried to get those sessions on this phone it crashes. It is like too many at one time are downloading at once and it crashes. Then I have to delete app reinstall and start over. I have managed to get up to 11 on the phone at one time but when I try to get the rest it crashes and back to zero. Do anyone have the issue and do you know how to prevent it?

  • I found an ipad today in the garbage and tried to restore it, but its passcode protected, how do I delete it?

    My boyfriend found an Ipad on his garbage route today, strange but true, how do I delete the info on it & passcode? i already tried to restore it, but it didnt work.

    I would get it to the police before what happened to a thief here in Dubuque occurs. Two iPads were stolen from adjoining homes. One owner turned on "Find my Mac" and saw it near one of our harbors, contacted the cops. When they got there there was only one occupied car. Meanwhile the owner activated the alarm which the officers heard. The cops charged the guy with second degree theft. They found three other iPads and a GPS in the car. Maybe he found them in the garbage. This is in this mornings newspaper.

  • Dropped my Ipod, I have put it in Disk Mode, I have downloaded the new software, tried to restore it and it has seized please help?

    I dropped my Ipod (4TH Generation Ipod Nano) I have got it start up again I have put it in disk mode and connected it to Itunes,
    I have downloaded the new software through Itunes, that went well, it came up as normal.
    I have got it to restore to factory settings. (Although before hand it synced and all that)
    During this process it has seized and not done what it was suppose to, only displaying the Apple Symbol.
    I disconnected, and it has gone flat and now is telling me to connect it to power, when I do so nothing happens.
    It won't connect to itunes.
    Please help.

    Hello there pipem90,
    Heres an article about that very issue. Check out this article named iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369.
    There is more to the article but start here:
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you have not already done so, try the steps in the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant which applies to your iPod; this will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
    All the very best,

  • Help cutting square in the middle of a video

    I did this in the past and I can't remember now to save my life!
    I thought there was something called cookie cutter, but I guess that must have been in another world.
    I have a video on track one.
    On track 2 I have a video that I want to cut a window out of in the center so that the center of the video underneath shows.
    How can I do that?
    I know it's something easy and stupid but I can't remember. It's late and maybe I'm tired :-)
    I'm in Pro CS5
    A 4 point garbage matte would have been awesome if I could invert it!
    Your help is appreciated, thanks!

    @shooternz,
    I would normally do that, but in this case it's not going to work for me. I'm nesting the sequence and there's a few more things going on that make that setup not work.
    I appreciate the suggestion, thank you.
    I work between Vegas / Final Cut Pro / and Premiere to edit different projects depending on what outcome I want and it gets a little confusing some times to remember which one has that specific feature you're looking for and which one doesn't.
    Anyway, I don't think asking for a simple inverted mask in Premiere would be too much.
    Where's adobe with all this I wonder, because everyone else has had it for years!
    So I'm with Jim Curtis, I will join in and request it. For now what I did was go into After Effects, cut the square out of the video with an inverted mask, and brought it back into Premiere. Geez...
    There's a transition called "Iris Box" which actually does what I wanted for this clip, but it does it in motion.
    If I could have paused that transition and applied it to the entire clip it would have been great.
    Adobe should take the mask that's in After Effects and put it in Premiere!
    Well anyway, thanks for the help and suggestions.

  • The tab button is not operating, it is visually there, just doesn't work. tried rebooting and help but cannot solve the problem. also tried control+T and nothing works, reset to default and still doesn't work.

    Tab button is not operating. Tried rebooting, resetting options to default, tried with mouse and with control+T and nothing seems to activate it. It was working properly until an hour ago. Now the + (tab) button is there but it is idle. How do I fix this issue?
