Help!! I (STUPIDLY!!) installed 10.4.10 and can't do ANYTHING now!!!
OMG HELP ME PLEASE!!!
I installed 10.4.10 after waiting forever because update is such a pain and now I can't connect to the internet AT ALL. How can I uninstall this update?? I don't really want to back up all my files and reinstall my OS because I have like 29 gigs of music and a ton of video and I have no idea how to compress that stuff into a small enough format to burn in on a comprehensible amount of cds.
Please, someone, help me. I am so screwed right now.
Oh and PS I am writing this message on my old Thinkpad. At least my trusty old XP still works and WINDOWS THOUGHT OF SYSTEM RESTORE!!! AUGH!
Kathy:
If your computer is working well, I suggest you go with the flow for now. Get the external firewire HDD and clone your entire HDD so you have a backup and an emergency boot drive, and keep your backup up to date.
Then should the present installation begin to act up you might want to consider a new installation, although not necessarily. I favor dealing with issues and leaving re-installation as an avenue of last resort. If your current installation is not plagued with directory issues, there is no need to do a re-install.
So go and have fun, and get that firewire external HDD as soon as you can afford it.
Meanwhile, here are some links that can help you keep your computer healthy, and keep you happy.

Uploading newer ios on Ipad 2 - things were going well then got a picture of the apple logo and a line moving from start to end - stopped short of end and can't do anything now - HELP
Try a soft-reset and see if that gets it to boot up properly : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully boot up.
If it doesn't then try recovery mode and restore/resync your content : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -

Re-installed ipod nano software and can't get access now
I decided to change some of my songs on my ipod nano however I messed up and deleted all my songs on my Ipod. I couldn't get the songs to download onto the nano again so I uninstalled the programme and started all over again as if I had just bought the Ipod and was setting up for the first time. Unfortunately, when I tried to start loading music again I got the message "Itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of ITunes. Can anyone tell me how I resolve this?
Try installing the current version of iTunes; if you reinstalled the original CD that came with a first generation iPod nano, it includes iTunes 6 which can't read the iTunes 7 library format.

IPad Won't Restore into new Update 3.2.2 And Can't Do Anything Now...
Ok so my problem is when i plugged my ipad to restore and update to the new firmware update 3.2.2, everything was going smoothly, untill i got a error numbered 1014, Please help me i have tried everything many times, im trying to restore it in my macbook aluminum 2009 edition. Please Help Me.
Hi Everyone,
I too gave experienced this problem twice now (the first time with the upgrade to 3.2.1 then last night with the upgrade to 3.2.2). After reading this forum (& many, many others) & having tried nearly everything that everyone has suggested, it appears that several people had hinted at something that the majority of us have perhaps taken for granted.
It seems that if your iPad is not fully charged (& I REALLY mean FULLY charged), the chances of you falling into the never ending loop of the dreaded 'error 1014' occurring are increased! I seriously have nearly lost my mind & even after contacting Apple Care Support & spending over an hour on the phone (they were extremely helpful), we initially were unable to fix the problem & I was booked into my nearest Apple store for a repair/replacement.
After spending another 2 hours last night innocently attempting to update my iPad to 3.2.2, I saw that several people had recommended either disconnecting the iPad from the computer & plugging it into your Apple supplied power supply & letting it fully charge for several hours, or leaving it plugged into your computer (directly & not via a hub) & then try the whole process again.
Luckily, for me, this worked! I was not only relieved but absolutely astonished (& annoyed) that this was the only thing that worked for me! So my suggestion for those of you that may be experiencing this problem, give this a try. You have absolutely nothing to lose & hopefully you'll be able to update your iPad safely & correctly.
All the very best of luck -
I am trying to delete an old version of itunes in my ibook G4 so I can install the newest version and can not delete the old version because it says I don't have enough privileges, help?
iTunes is not installing because its incompatible with your OS. When installing the correct version the new version will update the older version, there is no need to uninstall first.
The last version of iTunes compatible with OSX 10.4 is iTunes 9.2.1
You can down load iTunes 9.2.1 here:

I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????
Prep your new drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X. -
I can see my Canon MP600 usb connected to Airport Express through Bonjour on my Windows XP. But, when installed by Bonjour, the printor time-out and can't print anything. Any idea what to do?
Thanks for the quick reply.
So am I correct in saying trying to utilise the Airport Express to access the printer over the network was a wasted effort due to the latest iOS? I had read up on the express before purchase and believed that was one of it's main purposes.
Thanks again for the help. -

My iPhone 4s. Keeps coming up sim invalid, I have to keep restarting my phone but doesn't help, it's only 5 days old and I'm fed up now with it now! Any solutions please?
There is obviously something not right... But to determine what the issue is, it needs to be looked at...
And the Apple Store would probably be the best place...
Just my opinion... -
Instalation DVD is damaged and can't install OS X. What should I do?
Instalation DVD is damaged and can't install OS X. What should I do?
If you have to reinstall, you'll need to get a new copy of the installation DVD. If this is the disk that came with your Mac, call Apple tech support and they should be able to sell you a replacement disk set for a reasonable charge.
