How can I get my OS X back to my MacBook Pro? Booted Widows 7 from a disc and have deleted all the partitions. :(
Guys! I'm new to OS X and not used to it so I tried installing Windows 7 having the thought that it's as easy as on ordinary laptops. Installation was succesfull, Installed it by first going to a "boot utility like" screen while it's still on OS X, Deleted all those partitions, Placed a Windows 7 disc in the disc drive and on the Windows installation menu I also deleted the partiotions I saw. After all that my MacBook successfuly is running Windows 7 but problems appeared like no backlight on the keyboard, Trackpad is no longger functioning well and the audio jack has this f*cking red light. :'( I admit this is all my fault and I really need to find a solution to get it running on OS X again. Please help!!! Sorry for my bad english... And also, While booting up, There is no more Apple logo but a silver screen then Windows...
A partition is just a section of the disk set aside for a particular purpose. In this case, we're talking about a Mac partition and a Windows partition. They have different formats, which is how the data is stored. The disks that came with your Mac will create the Mac partition when you install, but most likely you'll lose the Windows partition. You've got kind of a mess at this point. What you should do is install the Mac OS and get everything as you want it. Then run Bootcamp to create a Windows partition and let Bootcamp do the Windows installation for you. Grant gave you good advice earlier. Don't let Windows do any partitioning. That's how you got into this mess.

How can I get Netflix Movies to run on my MacBook Pro via wi fi?
When I log onto Netfix with my MacBook Pro and select a movie to watch on line, I find that I lack an application that will work only in a 32-bit environment. It won't load. Is there any other application I can use to substitute for that?
Do you have Silverlight installed?
What browser are you using? I know that FireFox 4 beta 7/8 had a problem. Make sure if you are, update to the non-beta version.
This was posted on Mozilla Firefox support;
Netflix requires the Silverlight plugin, which isn't working in Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 or higher on Mac OS 10.6, because of this bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598406
Bug 598406 - Silverlight not supported by i386/x86_64 universal binary on Mac OS X 10.6
As a temporary workaround until this bug is fixed, try running Firefox 4 Beta in 32-bit mode, using these instructions:
From the menu bar, select Firefox and then select Quit Firefox
Open the Applications folder in Finder and locate the Firefox application icon.
Hold down the control key while you click the Firefox icon and select Get Info from the list of menu items.
In the "Firefox Info" window, click the box in front of "Open in 32-bit mode" so that it is checked.
Close the "Firefox Info" window and then restart Firefox 4. -
How can I get my data out of my broken Macbook Pro?
My macbook pro was working weird for no reason at Friday, and it also cannot turn on at Saturday suddenly, I didn't have time to backup my laptop before it stop working. Is this a response of Apple to help me take my data out of my broken laptop? Even I am still covered by applecare, they told me I need pay for extra 99 dollars for backup my data to my external hard drive.

When I plug my iPod Classic into my MacBook Pro, the iPod appears on the desktop and automatically launches iTunes. The iPod also appears in the Finder. But no mtter how long the beach ball spins in iTunes, it never recognizes my iPod. I am using iTunes 10.5.2. I don't think it's the connecting cable or the iPod, since it works on other computers. From what I have read on the support forums, it seems like the problem might have been upgrading iTunes. But I am not sure how to downgrade and am fearful of losing my music. Help?

If no success, then you have a hardware problem. Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

Set Yahoo as you home page, and set firefox to open the homepage when it starts. (Not to open previous pages).

I lost my iPod touch 32 GB a month ago, and today I got a new iPod touch 64 GB. While syncing it with itunes, I got my music library, books and purchased items back, but I didn't get my photos and videos.How can I get my old photos back in my new iPod?
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -
I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?
Hello,
I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?
Thanks!I wish, essentially you have an image file of your personal information integrated with parts of IOS in the cloud server. If you had it on your computer - you could use one of the software extractors (bunch with google search, paid and free). From icloud server it can be restored to other iphone, ipod touch, ipad - then backed up or imported to computer for you. Then that other device can return to your friend or family member. That is the only way I can think of.

My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud? Her iPad is taking up 3.4MB of my 5MB. I need my space back!

I suppose ya. If she deletes my account from her iPad it won't affect my account, right?
Yes, that's correct, it won't affect your account or your devices in any way.
Use the delete account button in the iCloud settings.
Then enter her iCloud details in the new screen that appears and log in. She should then be returned to the screen above but with her Apple ID at the top, enable the services she wishes to use and then tap the storage & backup option and ensure that iCloud backup is turned on.

How can I get my 25 pounds back. It's been stolen from my itunes account to buy KingdomConquest stuff. I' ve been hacked via itunes - I had a prepaid card in there.
I work in it, am very careful, and this is the first time since 1985 when i starter using i.t. That i've been hacked. Thank you apple. It seems like a very common problem with apple.
What's the email address i should use to get my money back and report it ? As usual the apple phone lines don' t answer, an they make life as difficult as possible for anyone to gt redress.It's most likely not you, no matter what they say. I have noticed a LOT of fraud with itunes, even with my own account. One time I caught them doing a database restore. I know this because my password automagically reverted back to an old one! I'm an IT guy who helped design DOD classified networks in the mid-pacific. I know security. The best protection for this is to NOT have a credit card listed in iTunes. Use iTunes cards ONLY. It's a pain, but until they step up, it's all you got.
