Hi. I am reinstalling Macbook Pro OS X from the "question mark icon". During process, there is a question "select the disk where to install Mac OS X" but there is no option/selection in the box. I really need your help guys. I need it badly. :'(

If you got the question mark and you do not see any partition to install OS X to, it is not good.
Close the OS X installer by pressing the red button at the top left corner of the Install OS X window, and open Disk Utility. Then, look at the left sidebar and tell me if you see your hard drive. You should see something like this:
Do not worry if you do not see Macintosh HD or if the option with an arrow shows a different name. This is normal.
If you see it, choose it, go to the Erase tab and erase the drive. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. You will lose everything if you do not have a backup.
If you do not see the drive, it is damaged and it has to be replaced. You can replace the hard drive of a MacBook Pro without voiding the warranty, and any 2'5" SATA hard drive is valid. If you are not an experienced user or you do not want to go inside the MacBook, take it to an Apple Store or reseller.

  • Report with Two Queries -- Really need your Help Guys

    I might be posting duplicate thread but i couldnt found the Q&A that i am looking for.
    I am trying to create a report where i have to use two query. Also, with this query i am passing parameter where i ask user to enter Report Month so they can run report by what ever month they want to see data.
    Now my Q_2 is duplicate or Q_1 because in my final report layout i have to display fields where i have to compare current_month_data to Previous_month_data. so basically i want user to in put current month date and previous month date and layout look like.
    Company_Name Currentmonth_sale previousMonth_Sales ....
    Honda $1423.42 $324.42
    Toyota $3433 $4255.45
    so on....
    Now so far i create report manualy and drop two query in to the report but when i trying to create Report Wizard and group by each Company.. it is not giving me the out put that i want. Instead of giving me above out put its give me my Q_! result with each company group and then under that result i have Q_2 result.
    so HOW CAN I DISPLAY FIELDS FROM MY Q_2 WITH MY REST OF THE FIELD ON Q_1?????????????????????????
    Thank You guys.

    Actually, I tried to use Data Link but i am not able to success.
    Let me know if I am doing anything wrong . i click on left hand side tool panel where its says DATA LINK. then i click on Q_1 field and then drag the mouse over to Q_2 query with same field name. but its give me an error that Can not link it because of Group data and i have option to choose Yes, NO or Cancel.
    Let me know what are the step i need to take in order to link this two queries.
    Thank You

  • How do I uninstall iPhoto from my MacBook Pro? It won't let me shut down my computer cause it keeps telling me to wait for my images to import, but there isn't anything importing...?

    I can't shut my computer down side my iPhoto app is telling me that it's importing pictures, but not is happening & I wanted to uninstall iPhoto to see if that would work. Please some one help me! This is annoying.

    The "Importing" message can be cause by a corruption of your iPhoto library - then uninstalling will not help. Try this:
    Force Quit iPhoto:
    From the -menu in the upper left corner of the screen:   > Force quit ⌥⌘⎋
    Then select iPhoto from the panel.
    Then fix your iPhoto library and remove the "Importing" folder from the library  -
    see this post by LarryHN how to do it:

  • I need your help guys...really...

    Ok...I'll try to explain my problem...I hope you will exuse my poor english.
    I'm a very satisfied owner of an iPod nano which I use with the iTunes software. Recently I also bought a few songs for the italian iTunes Music Store and I was very satisfied also by this service; but I had a problem.
    A few days ago I had to completely erase my hard disk because a virus damaged it. I made a copy of my music folder and I re-install the Win XP2 operating system but when I re-imported my songs I discovered with sadness that the music bought on the iTunes Store was disappeared. I try to recover them from my iPod but iTunes didn't allow me; I autorized my pc following the instructions gave on the web site but I always receive the same answer....you are not autorized to transefr this music on your pc. How can I do? Moreover some songs that weren't up to date on my iPod and were only in the music backup folder are completely lost I think....can I recover them?
    I hope I manged to explain my problem and that you can help me.
    Thank you very much
    Dimitri

    For Valentine...I try to return on the store and to re-download the a song but I have to pay another time....it don't works...
    For Lance...I never change my account! When I connect my iPod and I try to transfer my purcheges iTunes tells me that I'won't be able to transfer my songs because my pc is not authorized....In the "store" window I authorized my pc, using my account username and the password , with success but I still can't transfer my songs.

  • Code for send button. I need your help, guys!

    I would appreciate a Java code for a "send" button or a "send page" link that would send a complete web page to my email address. I have some forms for my users to fill out online and send them to me, and so the problem I am having is that when I use FrontPage forms (text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons, etc.,)for them to use, I am getting the input from those form only. What I NEED to get is the complete page, exactly what the users see on the screen with all the text in the forms. The need for this is that these forms (reports) will later be printed out, so they MUST look exactly as on the screen.
    So I am thinking a bit of Java code could help me out. Would you give me a hand guys? Thanks!

    Do some JNI and take a snapshot of the screen, it is the ONLY way I know to ensure EXACTLY what you ask for: even the HTML from the page may look different than what the users sees when filling out the form when that HTML is displayed on a different machine and system.
    Otherwise your agument seems a little trivial and you could just replicate the form on your local machine and insert the data you captured with a normal post operation into the local copy of the HTML form.

  • I NEED YOUR HELP GUYS PLEASE

    IM JUST NEW TO ADOBE FLASH AND I DONT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TO DO
    AND I HAVE A SCHOOL PROJECT USING FLASH
    CAN YOU MAKE A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO MAKE THIS
    1.MAKE INPUT BOX
    2.MAKE  OUTPUT BOX
    3.IF YOU INPUT "HI" ON THE INPUT BOX THE OUPUT WOULD BE "HELLO"
    ITS LIKE A INTELLIGENT CHATTERBOT
    PLEASE HELP ME
    IM BEGGING YOU ALL

    My instincts tell me that I should not help you because this is for a school project and defeats the purpose of the exercise. However, you are only hurting yourself in the long run. On the other hand I am also a firm believer that the right person can learn a lot by looking at example code.
    import flash.text.TextField;
    import flash.utils.Dictionary;
    import flash.text.TextFieldType;
    import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
    import flash.ui.Keyboard;
    var inputTF:TextField = new TextField();
    var outputTF:TextField = new TextField();
    inputTF.border = true;
    outputTF.border = true;
    inputTF.width = 200;
    inputTF.height = 20;
    outputTF.width = 200;
    outputTF.height = 20;
    inputTF.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
    inputTF.multiline = false;
    outputTF.mouseEnabled = false;
    outputTF.selectable = false;
    outputTF.y = inputTF.height;
    outputTF.multiline = false;
    addChild(inputTF);
    addChild(outputTF);
    var outputMap:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
    outputMap["hi"] = "Hello";
    inputTF.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
    function keyDownHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void
              if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)
                        var enteredText:String = inputTF.text.toLowerCase();
                        var outputText:String = outputMap[enteredText];
                        if (outputText != null)
                                  outputTF.text = outputText;
                        else
                                  outputTF.text = "I don't know that";
                        inputTF.text = "";
    You're welcome

  • I need your help guys!!!1

    Hi everyone,
    I have an iPod Touch and it has got a small hairline crack. The iPod is still in warranty. Will Apple repair it free of charge or would I have to pay for it?
    Thank You for your time.

    My guess is probably not. The only ones that can answer for sure are at the Apple Store. My an appointment for them to look at it and they will tell you your options.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life)bought in October 2010 in the UK. The charger has stopped working. Which model and voltage do I need please?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life) bought in October 2010. The charger has been playing up for a while now - the light going out but coming back on when I move the cable a bit - faulty connection it seems. It has now stopped working at all.
    Apple UK charge a whopping £65 for a replacement - and the reviews are AWFUL for it!
    I need to know which one I need - 45w, 60w and 80w are listed - can someone tell me please? If I'm going to pay this price I want to make sure I get the right one!
    Also, is a genuine Apple one available on Amazon UK, does anyone know please?
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Meanwhile my battery is going down.....

    Thanks for that wjosten. Much appreciated.
    I've read here on Apple's site that the 85W version will work, as you say, and that it would run cooler with a 13" Macbook - I have a 13" MBP of course but assume this would be the same with mine. I wonder if running cooler is a good thing (it sounds as if it is) and it would be better for me to get the 85W version than the 60W one?
    Then I have to decide whether to pay the (extortionate as it seems to me, though I may be wrong) £65 from Apple (bearing in mind the rotten reviews here of the Apple product), or risk a cheaper alternative from Amazon UK, at around £20 (also with various rotten reviews)... Any suggestions? Please? :-)

    I'd say your sister messed up and your iPod is toasted.
    Think about it...  She plugged it in to another computer, she doesn't remember what she did (yeah, right), and now your iPod is not being recognized by your computer... 
    Also take into consideration how old is your sister, and how much does she know about electronics?

    Goods delivered to you for personal or business use (not for resale) in Pennsylvania are subject to Pennsylvania state sales tax.
    If you are exempt from Pennsylvania state sales tax, or are a Not-for-profit corporation and have a DBA certificate in Pennsylvania, you may be able to buy tax-free. I doubt this.
    If you have the goods delivered to your address in Oregon, and there is no state sales tax in Oregon, you would not have to pay state sales tax.
    Since Apple does business in all 50 states, they are also obligated to charge you sales tax (for the state where the goods are delivered) when you buy from the Apple Online store.
