How do I clean install?  I have tried the reinstall osx but still the other apps I have downloaded are still there.  And also the Safari is not working anymore... I have to install Opera to have a working browser since I reinstalled the OS... please help.

Hi Please help me to understand how the clean install works...
I have purchased this ultrabook hoping I can slowly learn how to work it... I am a windows user and would like to shift to linux based machines...
My first problem is that I need to run IE explorer and media player to play wmv files on a cbt nugget iso image... It's impossible to do it since Mac does not support WMV file format... so I need to install WINE to emulate windows OS inside OS X and run windows programs... I can't install it either by following this site...
http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/
I can't seem to run wine after the last step, it has given me error messages.
Now I tried to uninstall it, not working either,
My last resort is to restore to factory default settings > power restart, press alt key as soon as you hear mac sound... choose HD on the right side, enter WIFI key and wait for 4 hours reinstalling os x Lion
I found out all the apps are still there.... is there something I missed????

What you're doing is reinstalling OS X over top of your present installation. If you want to reinstall "fresh", do this:
Reboot while holding down Command + Option + R, first use Disk Utility to erase your volume, then reinstall OS X.
Best done if you FIRST connect to the Internet using Ethernet...much faster than WiFi.

  • After this latest update to iOS 6, FaceTime and my WiFi network is not working for my iPhone 4S, could you please help me on what to do? I have already reset my network (which made it worst)

    Could you please help me to fix my iPhone 4S
    After the latest update we've had to iOS 6, I was not able to use FaceTime, it kept giving me an error that I was supposed to wait for an activation code which never arrived, after that I read many solutions which included resetting the networks, which I did to try and fix my problem. What this actually did was to break my network settings an now it doesn't recognize any wifi signal unless I have the router next to me and even the it is difficult.
    Now I don't have FaceTime or access to wifi with my iPhone!
    Please help me!

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

    Update:  I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
    I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
    How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure? Help!!

  • Clean install of 10.5 disk hangs w/9 minutes to go. Please help. Desperate.

    I'm wiping my hard drive clean and re-installing 10.5, from the disk. I put the disk in, told it to do exactly that, started the run, and it told me it would take about one hour. It ran just fine until it got to "about 9 minutes" -- and it's been there for five hours now. I'm at my wit's end. I've sold this machine and promised the buyer a clean install of the OS; he's coming to pick it up tomorrow.
    Please help me.

    I chose "Quit Mac OS X Installer," but it won't quit. I can't just turn the computer off, because I'll never be able to get the DVD drive open again once it's off. I don't think the OS X 10.5 disk is bootable, or I'd press the power key to shut down, hold down the "C" key, and power up again.

  • Kodak printer will not work after upgrading to Yosemite.. Please Help

    I have uninstalled and re installed my kodak 5250 more than once and it still does not work. I have carried out a clean install of my Yosemite OS and still no joy. How do i fix this? 

    I've got the 7250 as well -- same exact issue. I sent an e-mail to Kodak support on Friday last week -- haven't heard anything, but they did ask for 2 business days time to respond.
    I've been running the Yosemite Beta on one of my machines for a few months now and my printer stopped working on that one after the upgrade. I kept Mavericks on my other Mac until this weekend, and printing still worked from that machine until I upgraded to Yosemite over the weekend.
    I've got Linux and Windows virtual machines that can print to the ESP 7250, so I can still print, albeit with the hassle of firing up a VM and printing from there... I sure hope Kodak responds! I offered to help them test any beta-quality drivers they may have, so -- we'll see what they say!
    I've been planning to ditch the printer and get a new one, but I'd rather not have to do it right this minute just for a driver issue :-/

  • Iphone airprint does not work on my new HP8500 Premier (a910n). please help.

    I just got the HP 8500A premier printer (a910n) and it's set up for wireless printing from my 2 laptops at home.  I just tried printing from my iphone 4 but it is unable to locate the printer. 
    Does anyone know how I can fix that?  The product page clearly said this model works with apple's airprint...  but i don't find any info.
    Thanks!

    Airprint DOES work with HP 8500!!!!!!!!!!
    1. Make sure your computer is connected to your network and is on.
    2. Go to the hp website. Find the page for drivers, software and downloads and go there.
    3. Select your product ( ie. hp 8500a plus all-in-one). Find "firmware" in the list. If you aren't sure print a test page from your printer and get it from there.
    4. Download the file, save it to your desktop.
    5. After it saves to your desktop, open the file and click "run".
    6. Tell your computer and your anti-virus to trust and to continue.
    7. After running the update, you will see a bar go across your computer screen saying that it is updating your printer. If you then look at your printer, it should show a green screen, this means it is working. Give it time to do its thing. The screen might flash on and off, but that is ok.
    8. Finally, your printer will turn off and restart, which means the download is complete, it will also print off a "Self Test Diagnostics" page.
    9. On your computer, it should say it is completed updating your printer where it had the bar going across saying it was updating it.
    Now you should be able to print from your iphone, ipad, or ipod using airprint.
    Enjoy!

  • Photoshop CS6 not working with new version of Yosemite. Please help!

    When I was running Mavericks on my Macbook pro 15" Intel i7,everything seemed to be working completely fine. Now when I try to run Photoshop CS6 on Yosemite, the program keeps on crashing and giving me an error. Please help!

    Sometimes the Yosemite upgrade breaks the install. You may have to uninstall and reinstall CS6, and do so as an administrator.

  • IPad 2 microphone not working. On 4.3.3. Please HELP!

    Just noticed that the internal microphone on my ipad 2 64 GB (white) is not working. I even tried to record a video to see of it was an application problem but the video did not record sound either and just recorded static. I am still on the 4.3.3 firmware and haven't ever had any problems.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Pichkeopiseth-
    The iPad 2 has been out less than a year, so it is still under warranty.  Apple should repair or replace.  Whether they replace with a new or reconditioned unit, I can't say.
    For an out-of-warranty unit, an Apple Authorized Repair Center may be your best bet, since it is probably an easy repair.
    I suggest you verify that the problem exists in at least two Apps.  One I use is the free Skype App.  Skype has a test server you can call, that will record and play back your voice.
    If the microphone works sometimes but not others, try resetting (rebooting) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • I am considering buying a MBA but i need to do word processing, making power point presentations, and also to use publisher for work, does the MBA have the ability to do these things, if so will I be able to continue with work done on a MBA with a PC?

    I am considering buying a mac book air and I was wondering if I can still do word processing, make powerpoint presentations and use publisher like i would on a PC? Also if I can then would I be able to continue with work done on the mac book on a PC and all the computers at school are not macs ? 

    I am using the 11" MBA with Office 2011 (with latest updates).  The form factor is great for travel.
    Powerpoint presentations work well, but there are some issues with creating a presentation under OSX then continuing editing under Windows (Powerpoint 2010).  I've experienced problems with custom backgrounds not rendering correctly while editing slides under Windows when the original presentation was created under OSX.  If you stick with the "standard" themes I imagine you'll be OK.
    Also, there is a major drawback in that there is no IR port on the new MBA(s).  Therefore, you cannot use an Apple Remote to control a slide show.  Yes, there is an app for the iPhone that can control a Keynote slide presentation using Bluetooth, but since I haven't tried it, I cannot say if that app will work for Mac Powerpoint 2011.
    What is really needed is an "Apple Bluetooth Remote".  (please, if anyone from Apple is listening...)
    Your only option to run Publisher is to run Windows in a virtual machine (e.g. Fusion or Parallels) with Publisher installed as there is no Mac version.
    I run Fusion with Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 configured as a workstation and Office 2010 as my main travel machine and it is very responsive.  Even using Windows Aero Theme which is knowned to be graphics intensive.

  • I still can't get an expandable text field working in LifeCycle.... Please Help.

    I have worked through several of the questions and answers and have tried to follow but they still dont work. Could I ask if someone could look at my form, fix it for me and then I would be able to see what they done? Its a lot to ask but it would be so much simpler than someone saying do this and then I miss to do something.
    I could send a pdf form that has two  "need to be expandable". In Acrobat XI.  Once I see how you did it, I could work on the rest that I have to do.
    What I have noticed so far is.
    1. I open a PDF form (2 page) in Lifecycle and change it to an interactive with flowable layout
    2.I click on the text field object I want to change and select multi-line and then wrap it in a flowable subform. This starts at start of page 2. I have tried adding all the rest of fields etc to this subform but it doesnt work.
    3. If I try selecting ALl and wrapping in a subform and make it flowable....it inserts everything on page 1.
    Someone really needs to see my form. I think my problem is....it still tries to lock everything into the named pages.
    Again, asking for a lot but any help would be fantastic.
    I have watched videos on this
    I have read some great replies to others with same problem   BUT it just wont work.
    email me: [email protected] and I can send the actual form. I have worked for MANY days on this and am done in.
    thanks for any help.

  • Html:link not working in struts project driving me mad, please help...

    Afternoon all,
    Can anyone help me with an issue I'm having with my first struts project, I'm learning as I go.
    Anyway, I'm trying to create a bog standard hypertext link which passes a value back to a specified struts action. The flow of the application
    is as follows:
    1) search.jsp
    User enters a name and postcode to search on, then click submit
    2) searchAction
    Struts action 'search' is called and does the search in a back-end db.
    Each result found from search is created as a javabean (named resultsBean), and added to a list object. The list object is set as a request
    attribute named 'SearchResults'.
    The action is then forwarded on to another jsp page named results.jsp
    3) results.jsp
    The results.jsp page retrieves the list object from the 'SearchResults' attribute and loops through each entry
    in the list and converts each entry to the 'resultsBean' javabean object.
    Each resultsBean object has a getVirtualID method which stores a string value. This value is retrieved and a hypertext link is created which
    passes this value on to another struts action named 'select'.
    When this link is clicked on, the select struts action is called and the value passed as a parameter is retrieved.
    This is the part I can't get to work, I can't get the link to render properly. When I click the link the select action retrieves
    & lt;%= resultsBean.getVirtualID() & gt; as the value of the parameter 'vid' instead of the value stored in the getVirtualID method of the resultsBean.
    Listed below is the code from my results.jsp page. If anyone can help me get this to work I would be very grateful.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

      </div>
    </div>
    <br />
    <br />
    <html:link forward="/searchpage">Return to search page</html:link>

    If you have part of an attribute dynamic, you need to make the entire attribute an expression.
    ie instead of
    page="/select.do?vid='<%= resultsBean.getVirtualId() %>'"
    it has to be
    page="<%= "/select.do?vid=" + resultsBean.getVirtualID() %>"
    However for my approach, I would aim for zero scriptlets, and use the struts tags even more. For instance instead of an iterator, use the struts logic:iterate tag (or the JSTL c:forEach>
    Also instead of div tags, I would use html table tags - <table> <tr><td> etc etc. Thats what its for right?
    Here is at least some of it rewritten with struts tags.
    I left out the div tags so I could focus on the "important" stuff.
    <logic:iterate id="resultsBean" name="SearchResults">
      <html:link styleClass="results"  page="/select.do" paramId="vid" paramName = "resultsBean" paramProperty="virtualId">
        <bean:write name="resultsBean" property="fullName"/>
      </html:link>
      <bean:write name="resultsBean" property="fullAddress"/>
    <%= resultsBean.getReferenceIcons(portletResponse) %>
    <input id="<%= resultsBean.getVirtualId() %>" name="ckbox" type="checkbox" value="" title="tick to select for merging" style="border: 0px solid #ffffff;">
    </logic:iterate>I'm not entirely certain what you are doing with that checkbox at the end. They all have the same name, but no value. You couldn't identify at the server end which one was clicked.
    Hope this helps some,
