How can I get access to my Macintosh HD

Hi!
I tried to boot my Macbook, but it went straight to OS X Utilities. Now, i could not repair the disk called "disk0s2", and my Macintosh HD is not showing up on the left panel. I tried to reinstall the OS but the only HD that appeard were the Recovery HD.
I then bought an external hard drive and installed the OS on it, from which I am able to boot now.
Is there a way to get access to my photos on the Macintosh HD (which is missing, sort of) before i try to fix the hard drive by formating it?
I am not very good at computers and I really need some advice..

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

  • How can I get access back to sounds and lessons I have not downloaded before updating?

    When I purchased my Mac about two months ago, I had access to all of the lessons and sounds, I just had to download them.  I recently downloaded and installed the update and in doing so I lost access to sounds and lessons I had not downloaded.  It tells me that I need to purchase the sounds and lessons package.  How can I get access back since I have already purchased it?

    Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
    Yes, iOS 7 looks quite different. But there are many new and valuable features. As time goes on you will not remember how it used to look.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    What do you mean by having no access to those apps? Can you start up your Mac and work with it, and only some OS X apps do not work?
    Anyway, what you can try is to reinstall OS X. To do this, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up and reinstall OS X. You will not lose any file.

  • How can i get access to a TABLE IN A TEXTOBJECT

    Hello,
    i want to edit the textobject1 on an existing report file.
    In DIAdem 8 the script was for example:
        call GraphObjopen("textobject1")
          call TxtBufOpen 
            TxtBufFont="Arial"
            TxtBufFontSize=10
            call TxtBufNextLine
            x = Round(chdx(1,Cno("myErg_" & name)),2)
            call TxtBufTabCellSet(cstr(x),4,1)
    Log file:
       "An der aktuellen Cursorposition befindet sich keine Tabelle!"
       "at the current cursor position there is no table"
    How does it work in 10.2 to get access to a table in a textobject? There is no documentation for this case.
    Regards  Bernard

    Hello Bernhard,
    during the last releases, a lot of the DIAdem modules have been completely revised which in some cases may have led to some old variables becoming obsolete.
    To find out which variables a particular dialog is using you have two options: Open the configuration dialog and use the help button to gat a context sensitive help explaining all available parameters and options. Alternatively, press Ctrl&A inside the dialog to copy all variables to the Windows clipboard. Doing so with a Textobject and pasting the clipboard content into a script you will get the following:
    Call GraphObjOpen("Text1")
      '------------------- Text -----------------------------
      TxtTxt           ="this is text"
      TxtFont          ="Arial"
      TxtSize          =3
      TxtColor         ="black"
      TxtColorRGB      =33554432
      TxtBold          =0
      TxtItal          =0
      TxtUndl          =0
      TxtStrOut        =0
      TxtFrame         =0
      TxtBackColor     =""
      TxtBackRGB       =0
      '------------------- Position -----------------------
      TxtPosX          =40.17
      TxtPosY          =62.39
      TxtAng           =0
      TxtRelPos        ="r-bot."
    Call GraphObjClose("Text1")

  • How can I get access to "beta" versions of JRE?

    Hello,
    Our company uses Java to develop the main application.   Sometimes we got bad surprises when new updates are released to public.
    We are planning to do advanced testing to avoid this kind of situation, but how can we find the next JRE version for testing?
    The Oracle website pointed me to the url: Java Early Access Downloads and then https://jdk7.java.net/ .  In the downloads section, I can find only the update 60 version for download, but I noticed the version that will be released to public will be the update 55.
    How can I test version update 55 of the JRE?  What is the correct procedure for testing further versions?
    Thanks!

  • I replaced sync data on server, how can i get access to older version of my sync data?

    Hello!
    I've a problem. I synced my data from desktop browser and then reinstall browser. After that i pressed Sync now, entered my credentials and i thought that this browser will download my data. But by this deeds i replaced my previous data. How can i restore it?

    Hello Mightymad,
    Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. Sorry, about your loss of data.
    Sync isn't intended for the purpose of being a "backup" service while the user re-installs their operation system. It was made to synchronize data between Firefox installations on multiple devices, where not every device is devoid of their Firefox installation and data at the same time.
    Unfortunately, if you've overwritten the Sync data your previous version is lost.
    I wish we had better news for you, but hopefully this gives you a better idea how Sync works, so you're better prepared next time you go to reinstall.

  • How can I get access to my camera and camera library  in iphone from muse ?

    I basically need the user on the mobile site to access there camera library from phone and send video from thier camera library to an email address .

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • TS3988 i have an old icloud account and i really dont remeber the account name and password how can i get access to it

    i have an old icloud account and i want to access it on my iphone

    As posted earlier, you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicking on the Find your Apple ID on the bottom right.  If you are able to find the ID, you can then reset the password here:https://iforgot.apple.com/, allowing you to access your iCloud account again.

  • How can I get access to a icloud back up from two weeks ago? I had a loaner phoe for 10 days while my phone was being serviced and i can't seem to access the majority of photos that were backed up on icloud.

    how do I access an icloud backup on my iphone for December 18th, 2014 or earlier? I had a loaner phone in the interim and a number of photos & videos are not being reloaded on my phone from icloud. It was explained to me that if I access an update prior to needing the loaner phone I may be able to retrieve these??

    Hi Brad Newman-Bennett,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to restore your iPhone from an earlier iCloud backup. Please use the information in the attached article for information on how to choose which iCloud backup you wish to restore from.
    iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
    Set up a new device from an iCloud backup
    Turn on your iOS device.
    In the Setup Assistant, proceed to “Set up your device,” tap Restore from a Backup, then sign in to iCloud.
    Proceed to “Choose backup,” then choose from a list of available backups in iCloud.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • System memory show 0KB available. Finder will not open. How can I get access to files in order to delete them without using finder?

    My friend is running OS X Yosemite. Her kid used up all the memory on minecraft/word of warcraft files. Now no app will open including Finder to even access files for deletion. Is there a way to access any apps/files to clear space without using finder?

    Step 1   
    The first step is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later. 
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    You might be able to run in safe mode even though you can't run normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.

  • I am the administra​tor of my p.c., but lost my password. How can I get access and get a new passwor

    I am the administrator on this desktop but forgot my password.  I need accss.  Hpow can I gain acceess and reset my password without rebooting and losing current info?

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Using another PC, download the application on the following link and save it to your Downloads folder.
    PC Login Now
    When the download has completed, open your Downloads folder and double-click the installer - this will result in another file appearing which is the disc image ( .ISO ) that you need to burn to a blank CD.
    You will now need to use an application such as ImgBurn to burn this ISO correctly to a blank CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
    When the disc has been created, shutdown the PC you can't log-in on, tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up Menu, insert the CD, select Boot Options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter - you may also have to 'Press any key' to boot from the CD if asked.
    Follow the instructions on the guide Here to remove the current password.
