How do you reinstall a mac operating system without internet recovery
recently my mac crashed ans woudnt start up correctly and kept stopping a quater way on the loading bars so i got a hard drive and managed to salvadge my file from osx utilities and then my plan was to blank my laptop and start again with only the some inportent files from my hard drive. so i opend the utilities menu on my laptop and erased my hard drive then shut it off.
then when i open it the file with a question marked poped up witch im assuming is because i dont have a oporating system installed.
then once i tried opaning the utilites menu when it was blank and it started to do a internet recovery however a few seconds after that the globe would stop and say "apple/support - 6002f"
i dont think there is any menus i can acses with out a oporationg system so is there anyway i can install one from another computer or from my hardrive as my drive does have a copy of osx on it if so how do i transfer it onto my mac.
thank you ben
Thank you for checking! We may need to completely reset the device. Are your contacts backed up to google.com/contacts ? How about your pictures? They should be on the SD card.
Here is how to reset the device: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/63967/
Once complete, check to see if there is a software available to update.
Thank you,

How do I restore my Mac operating system after a botched uninstall of Bootcamp.
I completely botched up uninstall of Bootcamp.I wanted to uninstall and delete Windows 7 and re-do the operation. Bootcamp did not manage an uninstall and I got put back into a Widows install operation.Which won't re-install because it can't fiind a suitable hard disk. I have 4 sata harddrives installed, one contains the Mac OSX system files, one a Timemachine backup and one the Windows system.Other is data.
I have a boot USB. None of the startup keys (Press C during startup,Shift key, Cmd R ete) will respond.The machine just behaves like it has a windows BIOS and won't allow any way to see any of the Mac files.Nor will it accept any HD to try a reload of windows. I've tried replacing the data drive with a spare formatted for NTFS, but the Windows setup file won't proceed far enough to enable this to be tried. Any help. I just want to get back to running OSX again.Have you tried press and holding the option/alt key while starting up so as to get the startup manager screen. I think you have too many drives attached for Boot Camp to install. Are these on the MacBook Pro you have listed?

How can i re-install the operating system without deleting my files on the computer
I'm Trying to re-install the operating system on my macbook, and i dont know, if i can only re-install the OS without deleting the Data on the computer.
If the Snow Leopard version on your Snow Leopard DVD is lower than the Snow Leopard version on your computer, you will NOT in any case be able to re-install the OS the way you want it. You will only be able to erase your disk and then reinstall the OS.
It will only "upgrade" and keep your files if the Mac OS X version of your Snow Leopard DVD is newer than the Snow Leopard version on your computer. -
How to re install mac operating system?
what is my problem?
I downloaded a pirated version of Iwork. After that My computer got slower and I am having problems with connecting wifi Internet.
What İ want:
I want to reinstall my Mac operating system and start from new. May be My Mac is affected by virus...
Please tell me how to reinstall mac operating system...
Details of My Macbookpro...
MBP 13.3/2.5/2*2GB/500/SD-ITP
Model no. A1278
Thanks for reading it...I don't think this is iServices, as that's quite old at this point and would seem to be extinct. Plus, as MadMacs0 points out, Mac OS X includes built-in definitions for iServices. (Of course, depending on how you downloaded it, you may have bypassed Mac OS X's security. Some torrent apps or other downloaders used for illicit purposes don't properly set the quarantine flag, so Mac OS X's security system never looks at the files downloaded.)
However, any time you install pirated software, all bets are off. It may not actually be iServices, but there's nothing to prevent someone from embedding something malicious in what you downloaded. It may not even be truly malicious... could be legit software used for malicious purposes.
I'd agree with nbar that you should wipe the hard drive clean and start fresh. (I disagree with him that a secure erase is necessary... that will not make your computer any safer than just erasing normally. The only thing that will do beyond a normal erase is ensure that file recovery software can't recover anything from your hard drive.)
If the instructions for wiping the hard drive are giving you trouble, try my instructions here:

In the future, never install anything pirated on your computer! That's like handing a known criminal your wallet and trusting him to give it back to you intact (or at all). -

I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?
If you bought Lion from the App Store, you can't legally or practically transfer it, because it's tied to your Apple ID. Reinstall the original software from the discs that came with the machine.

I erased my HD and could not install lion. if I turn on the mac now all I see is a folder with a question-mark. How can I install a new operation system?
Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
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 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:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. 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.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. 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.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
I got a iphone 5 but it does not work on my MacBook with Mac OSx 10.5.8 it says i need OSX 10.6.8 but it will not download because I need OSX 10.6 but it would load either. How do I get the older operating system to work with the IPhone5?
You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!
Hi Kglad.
I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
here is the new tutorial for CC - my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

My itunes store won't open. Any suggestions on how to get this to work? I've already downloaded the newest version of itunes. I'm also not sure what Mac operating system I have..
To find the version of Mac OS X on your computer, all you have to do is click the Apple logo and then About this Mac. For more info, take a look at this doc -> Finding your OS X version and build information
Do you see an error when you try to open the iTunes Store on your Mac?

I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade. I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5. On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

This appears on my screen when I try to download InDesign CC. "You are running an operating system that InDesign no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms." I've tried with 2 different computers (Wind&Mac)
Bastaría con que indicases el sistema operativo en cda uno de esas computadoras para saber si son compatibles:
Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 (ID CC 2014 y ID CC)
Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9 (10.6.8 para la CC anterior)
Si utilizan un sistema operativo anterior, you are "out of luck".

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.
