Help making a Install USB of os x 10.4.6. for my Macbook 1.8ghz
Hi,
I need help making the USB install of os Tiger.
The drive is having trouble reading the install disc I own so I am trying to make a USB install of it.
I wantto install from the usb not install to it to be clear.
Things I have!
X1 8gig sandisk flash drive
1 Macbook white 1.8 ghz Intel
1 Pc with Macdrive 7
1 Install disc that seems to have trouble being read in the drive > few marks on the disc and the mac DVD drive make lots of noise reading it but
It will go to Disk utilities.
Seems to be a bug in Tiger and restore doesn’t seem to work as in I can’t drag and drop a source to the restore the DVD to the flash drive.
I already tried only 1 time to copy the DVD to the formatted flash drive using Macdrive and it read it as a bootable drive but the apple simple came up
And then I got a the error (Can’t find driver for this platform error APCH or something like that.
I have a torrent download of OS x 10.4.6 as well just in case some files are corrupted > I own the disk so it’s not illegal.
I am new to mac but long time user of PC.
Ok ..you need another Mac to make this work!
you just use another mac even a old one like g4 to make a restore to a flash drive that you have formatted and verified.
Bye
Sam

I need Help, I want to use my Vizio Tv as my moniter for my Macbook
Hey everyone
I have bought a Apple DVI to mini-DVI Video Cable Adapter a while back, which I just recently used for my Macbook. I connected it to a Dynex DVI-to-HDMI Digital Video cable. I connected this to the HDMI 1 output on my 42'' Vizio VP42 HDTV.
BUT nothing comes up on the tv , just BLACK. Am I missing a step, or did I buy the wrong cord.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out and tell me EXACTLY what needs to be done, I don't want to mess up anything...
THANKS in advance!I have two Vizio sets that have VGA adapters and I am able to get my computers to output to them. I do not beleive that using HDMI out of the video out will be compatible with your TV. Although you may want to look in the settings for the input you are using on the TV while the cable is plugged in and see if you have the option to change the input to a computer.
Here is some info found from Vizio:
+When it comes to sending out a video signal, Cable boxes and DVD players follow a more defined set of rules. They can do one of several types of resolutions and thats it. Since this is the case the HDMI on our televisions is optimized for the NTSC format signal. So HDMI from a PC doesnt always work 100 percent since its intended design is to optimize signal from DVD players and set top boxes.+
+PC video signal has the ability to run with a larger spectrum of rules. First thing i would suggest is use an RGB cable instead of HDMI, the RGB input is designed with a wider range of resolution possibilities in mind. Before you even connect with the RGB cable set the resolution to 640x480 then work your way up through the resolutions. The second thing is that you make sure all of your display drivers are up to date.+ -

I've just had my hard drive go caput and after purchasing a new one was inclined to install snow leopard but received an error message when attempting to do so.
I did not create a back up or restore file before I decided to upgrade from snow leopard.
I'm wondering why am I not able to simply install snow leopard on a brand new hard drive. What would clue it into me having had ran lion before and why can't I simply delete that kernel or said file. It makes completely no sense to me. I come from a pc world where if I choose to format a hard drive, I can do a clean install of whatever OS I choose. After all I only paid for my laptop as should be able to do with it what I wish.
Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated1. Was Lion on the machine and trying to downgrade?
2. If so this might be an issue. Newer machines are done for current OSX.
3. If you have Lion on your machine try to install Snow Leopard on another partition or portable HD
4. After you format and install SL on the other partition or drive Try to boot from this machine retarting and holding the Option key at boot up.
5. See if that work.
This is a trial and error way but Mountain Lion is right around the corner and Snow Leopard is 2+ yrs old.

i install windows 8 via boot camp but its corrupt so i recover this by the windows 8 by the help bootable usb which is helping me to install windows 8 but in recovery my osx is formatted automatically now its become a pc how can i install my mac osx again in my mac mini? please help me
If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
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 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. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. 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.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?
OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

Error message " Device driver software was not successfully installed. Please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed. Digital Still Camera- Failed" HELP!
Hi, I was able to reformat my iPod and that worked. I read it on one of the threads and I am copy pasting the method below:
I opened the "My Computer" window and right-clicked on my ipod, and then selected "Format". I select "Yes" to format since I don't have anything on the nano to delete anymore.
I then Eject my nano from the computer and did a restart while the nano is disconnected from the computer.
Once Windows finish loading I reconnect the USB to the nano(back of computer) which automatically pulls up iTune. It asked me to name the new ipod detected and created a playlist for that specific ipod name.

Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my SL
Hi...Im in needs of help in my new OS Mac World.Had my Logic Pro 9(9.0.2) install in my Snow Leopard(10.6.3).Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my Snow Leopard.Just a real basic audio interface that works with my Macbook pro Specification.You're help will be much more appreciated..
Best Regards:RatzyMazzyIn any case I would suggest to get an audio interface which is *Core Audio* compatible. This means that you just need to plug it in and it will work with OS X’s integrated driver. I once had an M-Audio interface which needed its own driver and it had latency problems because of them. I am currently using the EDIROL FA-66 with 10.6.3 on my MacBook Pro. It still works flawlessly and has worked without problems in the past with 10.4 and 10.5, too. Here is how it looks like: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=731
I have also heard good things about the FireWire interfaces from Presonus, like the FireBox.

HELP Can't install windows 7, drive is not mbr
Hi all! Here's the thing. I wanted to install windows 8 on my 27" iMac. I partitionned my drive with boot camp, installed windowsm everything went great. My partition is a 30gb partition. I then added a third partition (I'm used to do this, all my work files are there in a safe place.) Once windows was installed, it kept saying not enough space... Found out that windows 8 x64 takes a whole 30gb installation!!!! I just couldn't beleive it!
Seems that Windows 7 install is much less. I booted in my win7 install USB key, formated the drive and tried to install. Now it says that the drive isn't in MBR.
Is there a way to install it anyways?
Some suggest to use winclone. I made a clone of Windows 7 off my other iMac and tried to copy that image file.
I thought it would be perfect but, now it says that the drive must me disk0s4, mine is disk06 because of the EFI partition.
Please help out! I'm at a dead end!Okay, I'll bring it home this weekend, Make an image of my first partition with my apps installed, and a second image with my work files. Back all that up to an external HD
I'll erase all partitions and reset it as one.
Install OS X.
Partition my drive with bootcamp (60gb).
Install Windoze.
After I'll partition my OSX partition in two with Disk Utility so I'll have 3 patitions in all.
HD 1 = Apps home folder etc...
Bootcamp = Windoze
HD 2 = Work files.
Will that work?
If I'm not satisfied with windows 7, can I erase that partition (not delete it) with the windows install DVD and install windows 8?
Thanks for your great help guys! -

FCE helps making better quality videos than imovie?
I have been using iMovie HD and it looks like its corrupted and cannot re-install it since I lost the disk image.
I am thinking of going to FCE over upgrading to iLife 09.
Does FCE helps making better quality videos than imovie?Eswar M wrote:

if your source is miniDV/Standard - yes.
if your source is 720p or iFrame - no.
in terms of speed and simplicity - iM09 is 'better'.
in terms of options and feature - FCE is by far superior.
note: iM09 is no 'upgrade' of your version, but a from ground off new app.
another note: FCE has a very steem learning curve, but after managing that is a fantastic tool! -
No usb ports work, can't instal usb 3 driver
I received an HP Elitebook 8540w laptop from work, the hardrive was wiped with just the OS installed (windows 7 pro 64bit). I downloaded and installed all applicable drivers from here. Everything seems to work except the usb ports. There are three usb 2.0 ports on the left and two usb 3.0 ports on the right. None of them will recognize devices installed in them. My usb optical mouse's laser will flash for a second when it's plugged in and my external drive (1TB Passport) will spin up but never shows in nMy Computer as a accessible drive. Device Manager shows 2 Generic USB Hubs, 2 Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controllers, and 2 USB Root Hubs. Comparing this to my other Elitebook 8540w it is missing a Renesa USB 3.0 Host Controller Hub. THis was one of the drivers installed with the others above but it's not showing anywhere. I've since removed and reinstalled this driver several times with no changes. Runing the USB 3.0 Host Controller Uitility that installs with this driver gives a "USB 3.0 Host Controller not found error." Please help!
Hi, Please check your IT deparment, they may disable USB ports elsewhere. My working laptops (all of them) have same "problem", my IT department even disabled C: drive, optical drive I can't see them anywhere. I can't see Devive Manager. I can only use USB ports to charge my phone or tablet. Regards.
