  • How do I reset my MacBook Pro (2008) after installing Mavericks?

    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro is very slow, which could be due to age.
    However, before I just get a new one, I want to try to reset it and basically clean it properly. I have never done that and hope that this could be the solution to the issue.
    However, I simply do not know how to do it.
    I tried reinstalling Mavericks but it does not offer this option..
    Help anyone?
    Thank you very much,
    Ingke

    You need the original discs that shipped with your MacBook Pro in 2008. If you don't have them, you can call Apple (phone # at bottom of page) and, with your serial number handy, order a new set. Cost will be about $25 including shipping & taxes, I believe.
    Once you have your original discs, follow the instructions in Thomas Reed's -> How to prepare your Mac for sale. After you've completed those steps, you'll have a 'clean' MacBook Pro, ready to install updates, software, etc.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    We'll need to know more to beable to help. Do you want to try to restore your photos from your iPhone to your Mac, or try to recover the photos from the old iPhoto Library on your Mac?
    What is the situation of your Mac now? In hat way did it crash? A hardware problem with the drive? Does the system not start properly? Does iPhoto not launch? Do you still have the iPhoto Library on your mac or a backup, so we could try to rescue the photos there?
    What versions of iPhoto are on your iPhone and your Mac?
    however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
    On the iPhone you cannot access the "package contents" - IOS hides the file system from the users. To restore photos from your phone share all iPhoto photos to your Camera Roll, that are not already in the Camera Roll,  and then connect the iPhone via USB and import the Camera Roll to iPhoto or Image Capture. Or use any of the other sharing methods described on thos manual page: see:  Ways to share photos http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnk7d8f763e
    To retrieve photos from a corruptrd iPhoto Library on your Mac we need to know the version number and more about the "crash" you experienced, the state of your mac, the system, the data. Please post back with more details.

  • Can not open app store on macbook pro/imac after installing Mavericks

    I have just installed Mavericks on both a Macbook Pro and an iMac. I use the same Appleid on both.
    But now I can not open App Store
    I have tried clicking on the App Store symbol in the dock, starting it from the program folder in a Finder window, and starting it from the Apple menu. The result is the same: Nothing happens except that the menubar that was active before the attempt becomes inactive (dark). There is no App Store Window, and no App Store menubar.
    I have one idea why this happens. I removed the "OS X Mavericks" from the list of downloads/purchases in App Store by misstake before I installed Mavericks. If that is the problem how can I solve it?

    Ok, now it works again. I got a Notice that I could update some applications and I answered that I wanted to do that. Then, when I tried to start App Store the menubar showed up but no window. I choosed "Windows - Minimize", exited App Stored and started it again. And now it works - on both computers!

  • How do I restore applications from Time Machine after installing Mavericks?

    I have a 2010 13" MBP and it was running slow, so I used internet recovery to install Mavericks. I had hoped to reinstall all my applications such as Office, iWork etc from my Time Machine backups but it won't let me. I wonder if since I erased my old HD it doesn't recognize the backups from Time Machine. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    how do i restore my macbook pro to sell it

    Back up the entire system onto an external drive for the last time.
    Locate the original install media that came with the Mac.
    Boot off the media, start up Disk Utility.
    If needed, repartitiion the internal drive to a single partition (i.e., get rid of BootCamp)
    Format the internal drive.
    If paranoid, do a Security Erase of the drive.
    Quit Disk Utility, start the OS X installer
    Install the full OS X with all the trimmings onto the internal drive
    When the install finishes, shut it down. Do not restart, to allow new owner to customize via Setup Assistant.

    How do I restore my macbook pro to factory to resell it?

    You'll need both gray discs that shipped with your MacBook Pro. If you no longer have them you can (with your serial number handy) order a set from Apple for around $20.
    Then follow the instructions here -> How to prepare your Mac for sale.
    Note that you MUST restore with the original OS that shipped with your Mac!

    How do I restore my macbook pro to factory setting

    Lion installs both itself and a Recovery HD. Booting the latter is how you reinstall Lion or fix things with Disk Utility. So, what you can do is this:
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    Now, this will completely erase the volume in which Lion is currently installed. When you then reinstall Lion it will be like coming fresh from the factory ready for a new user. I hope this is a working solution for your problem. If it is not, then I would encourage you to create a new topic more relevant to your needs which will solicit others to offer help. That isn't going to happen in someone else's already old topic. Had I not forgotten to stop email notifications from this topic, then I never would have been aware or your post.

  • Restoring files from Time Machine after installing Maverick

    I have an older MacBook Pro and while installing Maverick my aged hard drive gave out. I got a new hard drive installed by an authorized Mac dealer and now I'm trying to restore files from Time Machine. I haven't done anything at all yet with Maverick. I followed the Migration Assistant directions and have the backup connected to my laptop. The backup icon appeared on my desktop. I hit continue and followed directions and reached the point where it said "looking for source" and there is a spinning ball. That was an hour ago. Is it just taking a long time to sort through the large volume of material in my Time Machine backup, or is something wrong? What should I be doing, if anything? Thank you for your help.

  • How do I restore my MacBook Pro to an earlier date?

    I installed an updated version of a program I had been running for over a year now.  I have had a lot of trouble since installing the update, and would like to restore my MacBook Pro to a date that is prior to installing said update.

    However, I see "restoring data".  Will it restore my whole system so that the update to the program is no longer on my computer?  I am interested in restoring the system back to a date before I installed the update.  Data is not an issue for me.

  • How do i restore my MacBook Pro using Time Machine?

    I have a Hard Drive with a Time Machine backup on but i have also other files such as videos, photos, programs etc. I'm just wondering if the other files get deleted if I restore my MacBook Pro? Thx

    Using the Time Machine backup to restore to your Mac will not delete other files you have on the Time Machine backup disk.
    However, in general, it is not a good idea to store live files on a Time Machine backup disk.  The Time Machine disk can fail just like any other disk.  If it does it is no big deal for Time Machine.  You purchase another drive and start another backup.  However if that drive fails, the other files on it will be lost.  So if you offload files onto an extenral drive, they should be on a non-backup drive.  Then go into the Time Machine preferences and make sure that offload drive is not excluded from the list of volumes it will backup.

  • How can I restore my Macbook Pro to it's original operating system?

    I am giving my old Macbook Pro to my mother in law and want to restore it back to factory settings. It was originally OSX6 but has been upgraded to OSX 10.8.3. When I try to use the disk that came with it, I get a message that I cannot use that version. Can I reset it to factory settings (wipe out all of my information) while still keeping the latest version of the OS? If not, is there a way to use the disk to restore it back to OSX 6?
    Thank you,

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    OS X Mountain Lion is registered to your Apple and it can only be reinstalled using your Apple ID, so you shouldn't give it to your mother-in-law with Mountain Lion or she will have problems. Instead, reinstall the original Mac OS X version which came with your Mac, in your case, Snow Leopard.
    To restore your Mac to factory settings:
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and hold the C key while your computer is starting to start from the DVD.
    2. Choose your language, go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility, choose the hard drive at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the drive.
    3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall Mac OS X.
    When the installation finishes, hold the trackpad while your computer is starting to eject the DVD and turn off the computer, so your mother-in-law will be able to set up the computer as she wants. After setting it up, open  > Software Update and install the most recent version, and use the Applications DVD to install iLife apps
