Boot into the recovery partition (hold cmd-r at the sound of the chime), erase your disk and reinstall OSX.

  • How can I restore mac pro back to original with snow leopard

    I want to restore my macpro back to original, I dont have restore disk, just snow leopard disk. How can I do this?  Thanks

    A nice phone call to Apple usually results in a replacement disk being sent to you.
    I understand your intention is to give this computer away. If you were selling it, not having the original install disks dramatically lowers its value.

  • Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?

    Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?
    So what I did was, I had bought my iMac from a shop and asked them to do bootcamp for me. However, they installed 32 bit instead of 64. My fault, I did not make my self clear about it. So after it has been delivered to my house, I realized that I wanted the 64 bit. I tried to remove windows on bootcamp but honestly, I have not experienced this before. So I failed. I believe, I did something wrong.
    So I opened the iMac and it keeps asking me to go to windows. Windows OS also corrupted.
    I tried the Option Key but the only option is Windows 7 only. So using a different keyboard, I press option and it only shows Windows HDD and the Mac HDD has gone.
    What am I going to do? How can I restore Mac OS without the HDD anymore?

  • How can I disable mac pro OSX 'spaces' shortcut keys? (i.e. CTL, Right Arrow)

    How can I disable mac pro shortcut keys: CTL right arrow, CTL left arrow, CTL up arrow, CTL down arrow? Currently, they take me from one space to another. (OSX 10.6) Goal is to use these shortcuts for text editing.

    Hi, Simon.
    You can instruct iTunes and iPhoto to save their respective libraries to a different disk, e.g. your second hard drive. You can also move existing libraries for these apps to a drive other than your startup disk.
    See the links concerning moving these libraries cited in the "More ways to save space if you have a spare partition or second hard drive" section of my "Freeing Space on your Mac OS X startup disk" FAQ.
    Good luck!

    How can I restore my Iphone 4 to a previous setting? I lost all messages and contacts when my itunes restored to a previous phone settings at a much earlier date.

    If it is in recovery mode, there is nothing to do but restore.  It is too late to salvage data on the device.

  • How can I restore up to the current day after restoring from a disk image??

    I do two types of backups... Every night I connect my MB to TM and it backs up changes made throughout the day. On Saturdays I do the same. I bring up time machine and force to backup NOW. I then turn off time machine. I then perform an image backup of the full disk and keep that full weekly image offsite.
    Well I upgraded to SL, and once again many of my drivers still don't work with SL particularly a Verizon Broadband card that I was provided drivers for that have a bug. So back to Leopard I go again.
    I restored the full image backup using boot from DVD & Disk utility. This worked fast and quickly restored my MBP to exactly the point where I forced the backup to time-machine. I had done some work Sunday morning, and made changes to a bunch of files. I forced a TM backup later that night to ensure to catch these changes. After the failure of the SL load, I restored as I noted from an image which is much faster.
    The question is... I am now at the same point of Sat morning. How can I restore to the point where I was Saturday night just before I did a test upgrade to SL if I touched a bunch of stuff. (Some work files, some personal files). So what I really need to restore is the files backed up after my full image from Saturday AM? Any way to do this without knowing the files I updated?
    CLearly TM knows what files were changed and backed them up Saturday night before I performed the upgrade??
    Thanks!
    Mark

    The easiest, most reliable way is to do a full system restore, as of the Saturday night Time Machine backup. See #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    If for some reason you don't want to do that, you can get a list of the items that were actually backed-up, via +Time Tracker+ or +Backup Loupe.+ See #8 in the FAQ Tip.

  • How can I restore my iCloud back-up following reduction of storage amount on 1 Oct 2013?

    As a former Mobileme member, my free storage plan was reduced to 5Gb on 1 Oct 2013. Before that, I had around 5.2Gb of iCloud backup size. Today (less than 1 month after 1 Oct) it shows a new back up of just 100Mb. What happened to my earlier back-up (the one rolling over from iOS 6 etc.)? iCloud's notification email says back-up "will temporarily stop working" and that's all.
    I have now increased my storage buying 10 extra Gb of iCloud Space and my back-up (which was circa 5.2Gb before reduction) has not restored. What happened to it and how can it  be restored?
    Thanks!

    No, you have to erase the device to restore from iCloud backup.
    Restoring form backup is all stuff, yo can't select what to restore
    What you can do is to now transfer iTunes purchases to your computer by:

  • How can I use mac pro as a server?

    I want to use mac pro as a server which 4-5 people can use it at the same time.
    Our computers are all macbook or iMac.
    I want to share files when I edit videos and photos with my coworkers at a time.
    1. Can we connect each mac to mac pro and share our files as a big memory storage?
    2. And what can we do with this sharing system as a server?
    3. Lastly, how can 4-5 macbooks/iMacs connect to mac pro? Airdrop or other network exists?
    Thank you for reading!

    The short answer is: no, they can't use the server as a compute server.
    That's not quite true, but setting the server up in this way is complicated.
    A single user could log on to the Server via screen sharing, assuming that was enabled for them, but only one user at a time could do this.
    Many users can log on to the server simultaneously using the command line (using the Terminal and ssh) but they would not have access to any graphical applications, just UNIX command line programs.
    There is also a distributed system called Xgrid that ceased to be distributed or developed since 10.7, that allows you to set up particular compute tasks on the server. However, this is not at all like running Photoshop on the server instead of the local machine.

  • How can i sync mac pro w  my27 imac?

    New to macs so curious how to properly setup a network connecting mac pro, ipad and imac... thx in advance for any assistance.

    Well, "sync" and "network" mean a lot of different things to different people.
    To start with, you can set up file sharing, allowing you to access each computer across the same network. Go to System Preferences - Sharing, and turn on File Sharing. Change the computer name at the top of the Sharing screen to allow you to identify it better if need be. Then, in each Finder sidebar, you'll see the Shared computers. You can log into them from your other Macs using a valid user login belonging to the shared Mac.
    Let me know if there was something else you wanted to do...

  • How can I restore my iphone back to factory reset after it has been disabled from trying so many times to unlocked with the wrong passcode?

    My son had place a passcode and don't remember it and he try so many times to unlocked the phone but since he did it so many times and it was the wrong passcode the phone now is disabled, How can I get it to work again?

    Well, the level of pain you are about to experience will hinge on what level of backup you have of the phone. If none, you will soon have a blank, from-factory phone you will have to reconfigure from scratch.

    hello people i have aproblem with my comp mac pro with 5770 ati card i want to use  that to let the imac use as monitor oke please respons i am from the duth

    Language problem I think -- mac pro is not a monitor.  Do you want to use a monitor on a mac pro as a second monitor on the imac?  Or do you want to network the mac pro with your imac?  Or do you want to use the imac as a second monitor on your mac pro?
