How to cancel reinstall of mac os x 10.4.11 with disk issue

I have a major problems with my imac g5 and attempted to reinstall the os after archiveing hd. Problem is disk 2 is scratched and fails to complete at 80% on garage band. The disk is ejected and the computer restarts to the insert disk 2 screen. I am not sure what to do from here. help!

potluckdesign,
You may be out of luck unless you can find a retail copy of Tiger on sale somewhere (EBay? Amazon?)
Have you considered 'biting the bullet' and getting a copy of Leopard? It runs great on my iMac G5...

If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
Windows does not understand it is a guest on your Mac, and throws garabge wherever it pleases.

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.

My MacBook Air lost mac os x. So I would like to reinstall mac os. But I can't select the disk to install mac os x. Only Recovery HD is shown and I can't select it. How can I reinstall my Mac os x.

My MacBook Air lost mac os x. So I would like to reinstall mac os. But I can't select the disk to install mac os x. Only Recovery HD is shown and I can't select it. How can I reinstall my Mac os x? Thank you!

you can download the mac os x recovery hd and run the setup to a flash drive using another mac computer running os x 10.7,(so that while installation the os x setup can varify your computer's serial no. and provide you the installation setup through internet)
or the time machine backup(if you have)
Now boot through the flash drive and follow the steps to install mac os x
here is the link to download the recovery hd for flash drive

How to cancel icloud erase mac

Having lost my MacBook Air, I went into icloud and chose the "erase all data" option. Luckily, i then found it back. I still have not connected it to the internet but will have to do so. Does anyone know how to cancel the "erase all data" request?
thanks.
PS I also set up "lock" and i can undo that but will not do so until i discover a way to cancel the erase all data feature.

Make absolutely certain that you are not within range of a wireless network - unplug your modem and / or wireless router
Back up your MacBook Air using Time Machine or "clone" software
After your wireless network is operational, let the erase occur, then restore the MBA
The above is the safest suggestion but consider performing the folllowing before doing any of the above, which would eliminate the need for Step 3 entirely. I have not yet verified it will work, which is the reason for backing up your MBA first:
On another computer, log in to iCloud.
Select your MBA from the "Devices" list. If the MBA is off line (which it will be) you will find a link on the bottom of the iCloud.com page - the one that looks like this
Click it.
There will also be an x icon for the MBA resembling the following
Click it.
Either or both of those might remove it from "Find my iPhone" and invalidate the request. It would not hurt to try both.

How do I get my Mac version of Elements 12 work with my epson printer/scanner

HELP
How do I get my Mac version of Elements 12 to work with my Epson XP-510 in scanner mode using the get photo's function.
It does not show the scanner being available even though the scanner works with other programmes and will print direct from organiser to the printer.
Ron Steele

You must install the TWAIN driver:

However, it may still not work, since some scanners are not compatible with the 64-bit PSE 12. Epsons have the most problems, unfortunately.

How to completely erase ( no recovery partition remaining) a lion partition with disk utilities on lion install disk?

Where in a lion install disc made from the installer can I find a bootable file with disk utilities?
I downloaded lion a few hours ago and installed.
I have 4 large hardrives (1.5TB) arranged in 8 partitions to allow me to work on a varied group of projects. I have some projects that need to be worked on with software running under Tiger, some with software that runs under leopard, some with snow leopard, and now Lion. I own multiple copies of software and multiple user pack system install discs.
On a regular basis, I back up chunks of work on projects to external discs, and special backup areas on one of my drives. I don't like using time machine because I am running many operating environments on my mac pro and I don't ever want to be tied to one operating environment for important functionality, and I want to maximize the open space on my hard drives.
Several partitions involve large video files. I am working on them in various versions of final cut, premiere and imovie. Because I have to use the same software versions my different clients are running, I don't want to move all the files " up" to a modern version. It would be professional suicide to stop accommodating my various clients. I say this to try to head off being told to make my clients upgrade. There are too many different clients and they are not going to replace all their equipment.
On these volumes with video files, I often fill them up and copy off what I need to backup before I erase and do a clean install. I also run VM Fusion and windows XP. I absolutely do not want to have a Recovery HD partition left on the drive when I erase or influencing the other partions using different OS versions on that same drive.
Is there a bootable disc on the installer disk I just made? Can I use the disk utilities to do a low level erase on the lion volume that will remove the recovery partition?
Can I go back to booting from Snow Leopard and erasing the Recovery partition with the drive partition that way? Will the Snow Leopard utility take out the Lion HD recovery partition?
I am used to erasing my drives and rebuilding my machine and I believe it is the right way to use my multiple drives in my workflow. Now that I've got this invisible recovery partition, can you help me remove it and create a bootable disc that includes disk utilities?

I assume the unix pdisk command will show you want is going on.
You may not have a big worry. There have always been a lot of hidden partitions. Disk Utility under 10.4.11 reports this drive has three (my now report four ) partitions, when pdisk reports that there are 15.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
Press return when done typing sudo pdisk -l
-l include a lower case L
The sudo command will ask for your administration password. No characters will appear when typing your password. Press return when done typing. sudo stands for super user do. It's just like root. Be careful.
mac $ sudo pdisk -l

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 can I set my Mac to only share SPECIFIC folders with Win7

It used to work, but, even though I have set only my Public folder and a specific photographs folder to share with a Win7 PC on my home network, the Win7 machine can see the entire Mac HD.
I followed instructions from here:
http://www.trickyways.com/2011/07/file-sharing-mac-os-x-lion-and-pc-windows-7/
But if I type Run then enter the ip address of the Mac, all the folders appear. Is there a way to limit them to only the two specific folders?
I've mapped the single folder to a drive, so admittedly, unless you go into "Run", you can't see the other Mac folders and drives, but I'd still like to make sure it can't be done.
Thanks

How Do I Get Laptops (Mac+PC) to Share Data & Printer With "Main" Desktop?

My daughters are both home from school for the summer. How do I set it up so we they can use the wifi to share data and use the common printer?
My main computer is an iMac desktop -- running Tiger.
I have the Airport Extreme.
My printer is plugged to the Airport.
I have a laptop that a friend set up for me -- also running Tiger. I just hit print and the documents print. And it has an icon in the dock that when I click it launches so I can see / share / transfer files. But I don't know how he set things up. So ...
Both of my daughters use the wifi to connect to the internet but I would like to take it the next step -- to print and data share.
One daughter has a MacBook -- running Tiger.
Her sister has PC running XP.
I'm sure there is a simple "how to" somewhere in the database but I can't seem to find.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
