how do I reinstall the OS on a solid-state imac

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT1544 how can I reinstall the Mac OS X from scratch?

    I have an early 2008 iMac that came with Mac OS X 10.5 leopard. I have bought all os's since then, and Today I am using the most recent one, mountain lion. My question is, how can I reinstall the Mac OS X from scratch? Is there a quick way ? Or do I have to:
    Find the leopard CDs that came with the iMac
    And go through the cd installation.
    Then, can I jump from leopard to mountain lion?

    If your goal is to just reinstall Mountain Lion, you can restart the computer holding the Command and R keys, then choose the reinstall OS X option from the utilities choices presented to you.
    That restarts the computer using the recovery hard drive that was created when you installed Mountain Lion...but note you must have an internet connection when you do this reinstall.

    I left my OS CD at home while I am travelling. How can I reinstall the OS?

    You'll need your OS installer disk or a retail disk with a version later than the one that came with your MBP. You realize that what you want to do will necessitate erasing your HD so you might want to wait till you get back home.

  • How can I reinstall the YouTube app?

    How can I reinstall the YouTube app?

    Thanks dave
      This is a mystery. Both YouTube apps have different icons so they're not duplicates.
    One is a picture of an old fashioned television and the other is the YouTube logo.
    The old fashioned TV was able to be disabled in the ipod settings so that must be the one that belongs.
    I'm pretty sure the other one also came with the unit.
    Maybe I should start a thread?

  • How do you reinstall the app store on a mac computer?

    I accidentally deleted the app store on my macbook pro. How do you reinstall the app store app on your computer?

    There is no Mac App Store on Mac OS X 10.6.5 or earlier.
    On Mac OS X 10.6.6 through 10.6.8, run the combo updater for your OS version or a newer Snow Leopard one.
    On Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, and reinstall the OS.

  • HT5161 How do I reinstall the downloads (stack) folder?

    I inadvertently trashed by download stacks folder (OS10.8.2). How do I reinstall the folder and place it on the dock?

    And if you mean you deleted the Downloads folder from your Home directory, just create a new folder, title it "Downloads", and set that folder as the default location for Safari and any other web browser etc. for downloads.
    Regards.

  • HT1338 How can I reinstall the app?

    An application didn't install completely and I can't remove that app so I can't reinstall it. How can I reinstall the app?
    A dialog came up saying I have to send the app to the wastebasket before reinstalling it. But when I tried that it gave me an error code 8062. I couldn't find any info on error on 8062 nor could I find anything to correct it. It appears I'm at catch 22. The app is Easy Password Storage.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Howdy alegarfer97,
    In order to reinstall the applications that are installed as part of the system, you'll need to reinstall OS X. While the article linked below is written for OS X Mavericks (10.9), the steps are the same for Lion (10.7) through Yosemite (10.10).

    how do you reinstall the app store to your ipod

    That large yellow font is very hard to read.
    The App Store app can't be deleted but can be hidden by Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions
    Have you tried using the Spotlight search. Maybe you just can find it.
    If you go to Settings is ther a Setting for the App store?

  • How can I reinstall my Adobe Illustrator CS5 on my iMac?

    How can I reinstall my Adobe Illustrator CS5 on my iMac? It was inadvertently moved to the trash and deleted.

    CharliEiko,
    You should make sure it is properly uninstalled.
    I believe you may do that by running the Cleaner Tool.

    how can I saved the ipad isms conversation in a iMac file to be able of deleting them from the ipad?

    Hi Aurea,
    One way of saving your sms conversations so that you can then delete them from your iPad would be to back up the contents of your iPad using either iTunes or iCloud. See these articles -
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
