HELP!! I accidentally erased everything on my hard drive!! How can I get my macbook to work again?
I need help...
I accidentally erased everything on my harddrive, don't ask me how I have no idea....
When I start my computer all I get is a blinking folder.... From what I see on internet this is bad news.... Can I use the DVDs that came with my macbook (late 2008) to restore it? I do not need to keep any files on the computer and would like to have a clean start and have a back-up (not using time capsule restore thingy) of the files I would like to put back (mainly photos and documents).
What can I do?If you can boot from the install DVD, you can look at the disk from there and see if everything is truely gone.
If it is you can reinstall again from the install DVD.
If you have a backup you can restore your files from there.

Tried everything with the Micro SD card.. Nothing ...
Okay so I set a password for my Micro SD card and then tried to delete it. Well, that froze my phone and now nothing is reading the card. I tried to put it in other phone nothing happened. Then I finally decided to format it and it wouldn't let me do that either! How do I fix this problem is in something that Tmobile can fix or something???
Thanks for the help.Mgoksoy is correct, i have done that in the past with an old microSD card that i purchased for my Sansa e200 mp3 player, and the card was bricked and couldn't be read. managed to fix it though by getting the Sansa to format it

I need help on how to download the ios 4.3. to my iphone 3gs. My mom was using it and everythig was fine but when she upgraded the lady erased everything so it would be like new and now when i try to download a app like facebook it says it requires ios 4.3. and i have asked people at phone places and i have hooked it up to itunes and still havent been able to..when i go to settings then general it doesnt show up any software updates, that whole part is erased. someon eplease help me!\
What version of iOS are you running? I'm going to bet that you do NOT have a 3Gs. You have a 3G. The highest version of iOS that can run is 4.2.1.
If you did not save a copy of the older facebook at that could run on 4.2.1 on your computer that you can sync back, then you're out of luck. The newest version (and the only one available in the app store) will not run on 4.2.1.
You will have to resort to using the mobile web page in Safari or find a 3rd party app that will run on your phone. -
I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!! Is there any way around this?
Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!
Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

Yes, you have WD software installed REMOVE IT !!
WD has warned its customers about their huge mistake that their software doesnt work on Mavericks and causes data loss.
(also dont use WD drives anymore)
Read all about it here:

I'm trying to erase everything but it's been loading all day. Help pls
Hi, I'm trying to erase everything from my iPhone so I can sell it and I selected the erase and everything (I know I sound very technical) and after clicking confirm the black screen with the white spinning circle came on. I left it for a couple of hours and it was still spinning so I thought it was stuck and reset it holding the buttons. When it came back on everything was still there so I tried again this morning at 10 and then went about my day, I just checked it and its still spinning! I know it said it can take a few minutes but its been 11 hours. Has anyone got any ideas? It's the second time it's doing it so I don't think just restarting will help. Does anyone know any other ways to wipe the phone? As you may have gathered I'm not that great with technology so if you've got any ideas explain them as simply as possible please lol. Thanks in advance x
Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings should take under 10 seconds on 4S. If it takes longer there's data corruption on the phone or the phone is jailbroken. What you have to do is restore the phone using iTunes and set up as a new phone. THEN go to settings again and Erase all content and settings.

i erased everything from my macbook and try to reinstall the MAC os x 10.4.9. but now when i restart my computer the screen is grey with a file folder marked with a "?" flashing. when the dics is already already inserted and i restart it, regardless if i hold down the "c" or "d" key with rebooting, the disc is automatically ejected and then it goes back to the grey screen with the flashing "? folder".
if i was to try and reinstall the "for mac computers" os x 10.5.4 the computer will load the disc and bring me to the language select menu but as soon as i click the "next" button it tells me that the software is not able to be installed on that computer.
i have no clue what to do. the computer was working COMPLETELY fine before i erased something.Yikes, what happens or shows if you hold the Option or alt key on bootup?
The 10.5.4 Disc at least sounds like a Gray Machine specific Disk, or wrong Partition Scheme!???
Does that one allow Disk Utility to run?
Did you Erase to GUID?

I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" This iPod is currently linked to an Apple ID (c*****@k*****.net). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPod. The man who sold it to me said he bought it from another guy and sold it to me..So, I don't know what to do! I searched it up and it said you could go to iCloud and iTunes, but It's not working for me. Please help!!
A little more information:
You are running against the Activation Lock
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7

you have a thin brick. I suspect your iPod was stolen or lost. I would turn it into the police since it is worthless to you if you can't get the previous owner to remove from their account -
I got an iPad 2 and I cannot get my pictures to upload from a micro sd card as the iPad is saying device not accepted using too much power. Can anyone help? My iPad 2 is a 16 gb and my micro sd card is 4 gb
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit. First download the pics to your computer.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

The hard drive on our computer died and we lost all of our purchases in the account. Is there a way to recover the songs we have paid for? If we plug in our iPod to a new account, won't it erase everything during the synch process? Help!
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then transfer purchases form your ipod.
Without syncing, click File>Transfer Purchases -
A Newbie trying to format a micro sd card....
Hi, I just purchased a 8220 blackberry pearl flip phone on the weekend so far I love it, just have to get used to some of the features but should have the figured out shortly.
My problem is that I am trying to format a micro1G San disk memory card, it can be read on the computer, even tried to format it on the computer and it formated fine, formatted both ways fat 32, and fat with no problems. I tried to put it in the 8220 and it doesnt recognize it. I have the media card support on, mass storage mode support on, mode when connected prompted. I do get the screen say 'warning formatting the media card will destroy any data, then i click yes,,starts to say formating disc, and few seconds later it say media card format failed.
Using ver 4.6.0.174
Could it be that it might need a higher capacity than 1G?
Any help would great be appreciated.
Erikcapacity should not matter, it is because it has a partition it does not like usually.
If you know how to remove partitions, do that next and then fromat it in the HH.
There are a few wipe utilities too that can do the same

Fat16 Format With Micro SD Card
I need to format a micro SD card from my Arduino micro sd reader to fat16. I followed an online tutorial like so:
diskutil list
Which brought up this list:
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *256.1 GB disk0
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh 10.7 SSD 175.0 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 80.2 GB disk0s4
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *750.2 GB disk1
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS WD 750GB Black HD 749.8 GB disk1s2
/dev/disk2
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *7.8 GB disk2
1: DOS_FAT_32 NO NAME 7.8 GB disk2s1
Then I typed:
diskutil partitionDisk disk2 MBRFormat "MS-DOS FAT16" NO_NAME 7.8G
Then it displays this:
Started partitioning on disk2
Unmounting disk
Creating the partition map
Waiting for the disks to reappear
Formatting disk2s1 as MS-DOS (FAT16) with name NO_NAME
Error: -69850: The chosen size is not valid for the chosen file system
Although it shows up in Disk Utility as: disk2s1, should I take notice of the Error: -69850 or does it mean I've done it wrong? Also I've tried different partition sizes and this error still comes up.
P.s. I'm using Mac OS X Lion.
Thanks in advance.Hmmm, FAT16 or FAT32? FAT16 is limited to 4 GB...
