How to install OS X after HDD was replaced with new one?

Hi folks,
I got new 500G HDD in my mac. After i have started it with C pressed selected <Use English as the main language> Then <Welcome to Mac Installer> Then <Software License Agreement> Then<Select a Destination> but there is nothing to select, there is no destination volume at all.
Could some one tell me what i need to do to install OS X.
Thanks

Hi mosaicto, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Most drives come MS-Dos, we need HFS+ to install AND GUID Partitioning if an IntelMac.
How to format your disks...
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/partitioningtiger.html
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Highlight the drive, select Erase Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion hopefully you'll be able to install.

Hi- Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7.

Hi- My Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7 yesterday. My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything

Update
I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides.

How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one

Last Friday apparently one of my raid drives started failing.
As I mentioned on this forum I started getting continous beeping.
I was finally able to get the raid working at a degraded level. I ordered a replacement hard drive which is arriving today.
(In the meantime I made twice daily backups of my work.....)
Below was the message I got from the browser based raid software:
Blahblah 09    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
Blahblah 10    1000.2GB     Free                 SamSung HD103SJ

(See this earlier thread if you wish!)
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/727867?tstart=0
At one point when I did the checked the browser interface I saw the message Failed and Degraded
As I said, I was able to work over the weekend on the degraded system.
This morning I got the beeping again and did the rescue and now I am running a "full raid" without the notice that one raid was "Free".
In any case, the new hard drive is arriving today.
What steps should I take to incorporate the new drive into the raid system.
I have one OS drive
and 4 tb raid drives.   One needs to be replaced with the new one that I am getting today.
Thanks
Rowby

Harm,
Regarding your comment:
Re: How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one
Please tell me how to read the serial number from an individual drive rather easily, without un-installing them:
If you select the proper drive to change out, you only need to remove one drive and look at its serial number...
Step 1: Identify bad drive serial number using Areca's tools
Step 2: Turn off the computer
Step 3: Remove what you think is the bad drive based on following your numbered cable method, marked hot-swap bays, whatever
Step 4: Verify that the serial number matches the "bad drive" serial number from step 1; if it does great, proceed; if it does not match, go back to step 3
Step 5: Change out the CORRECT drive - that's the bottom line for this whole procedure
Cheers,
Jim

Only the Apple ID used to buy an app can update an app. Apple does not merge Apple IDs and Apple does not transfer content biught with one ID to another ID.

Hi, My Iphone 6 " iOS 8.1" is dropped in water, and couldn't save it back although I tried with dryer and also put it in rice bag for 3 days. The flash light was still on even though the screen shows up nothing at all when i try to switch on after 3 days I put in the rice bag. So,how much it would be cost if I can exchange with new one? Please kindly drop message about how to deal with it. Thank you.

Out of Warranty replacement on iPhone 6 is $299 US, adjust for your location.
It is highly suggested that you make a Genius Bar appointment to avoid delay
if going to an Apple store.

Office Jet 8600 Pro gives repeated message of depleted ink after replacement with new ones

My OfficeJet 8600 Pro (n911a?) gives a repeated message of depleted ink levels (Cyan and Yellow) even after I have replaced them with genuine HP 951 ink cartridges. I am certain that I have installed them correctly (I have done this in the past with no problems) and I have turned the machine off and on again several times. I have checked firmware and software updates and it appears that everything is up to date. Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

How to stop a process after it was started with Process.Start

I want my program to run other programs, but I also want the User to be able to stop the running program from within my program. How do you keep track of what program Process.Start has run?

The Start(String...) or Start(StartInfo) methods of the Process class are functions that return a Process object that you can then use to manage the process that you started, for instance to stop it with .Kill.

Downloading Logic Pro 9 after it was replaced with Logic Pro X in the App Store

I bought Logic Pro 9 a while ago, and I recently reinstalled my Macbook's OS for a new school year, and now I can't find where I can download Logic Pro 9 again, as I don't want to spend another 200 USD on the newer Logic Pro X.

If you purchased Logic Pro 9 from the App store then...
On your Macbook, go to the Mac App Store app
Make sure you are signed into the App Store using the same Apple ID account that you used to purchase Logic Pro 9 originally...
Go to the Purchased tab in the Mac App Store app... and you will find Logic Pro 9 there, ready for you to download and install.
If it is not found under the purchased tab then either you have not signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase it originally or... something has become corrupted in your receipts on the Mac App Store servers.. in which case you will need to contact Apple and ask for their assistance to reset things server side. You should have an email from Apple which contains your order info when you bought Logic Pro 9 orginally and you may need to give them that order info for them to authenticate you did purchase LP9 before they can reset their server info for you. If you don't have it Apple may ask you for other proof of purchase such as CC records etc...
If you didn't buy LP9 originally via the app store then you must use the DVD version you originally used to install it.

Can't use hard drive after replacing with new one

Disk Utility showed failed hard drive so a new Seagate ATA-100 160G was installed. I did the Erase and Journaling of the new HD. I went back to the installer to install OS10.3 and the HD now shows in the window for the destination volume. The problem is it shows an explamation point over the HD icon and if you select it the window says cannot install OSX on this volume. I placed the jumpers on the new HD exactly as the old HD had them.
What am I doing wrong?

I placed the jumpers on the new HD exactly as the old HD had them.
Jumpers vary by manufacturer and model. If you copied the jumper positions, and not their meanings, it will not work.
You need to place the jumpers to set the drive to Master, but use the diagram on the new drive (not the jumpers on the old drive) as your reference.
I apologize in advance if you have, in fact, copied the sense of the jumpers rather than their positions.

I had my iphone 4 stolen, replaced with new iphone 4 had all my info that was on cloud downloaded to new phone. Next day all that info dissappeared from new phone. Is there a way to recover info??

I had my iphone 4 stolen, replaced with new one same day and downloaded info saved to the cloud. The next day all that info disappeared and have not been able to get any of the old info back. Is there a way to get this info.

I think you will have to do a complete restore--you will lose any info added since last backup. Connect phone to computer, select it in souce list. Next, click on Summary tab, click Restore. In the next dialog box, click Restore--your phone will be erased and the latest software will be installed. Click agree to terms and phone will restart. Then you will see the phone setup screen--click on Restore from Backup and select the most recent backup. Obviously, this will only work if you have a backup on the computer. If not, check Set up as New Phone, click continue, then wait for the process to finish.

How to install leopard again after formating hd and now it just allows me to download yosemite.

how to install leopard again after formating hd and now it just allows me to download yosemite. When i insert the original cd of leopard it doesnt restart from it!!!
I made a mistake formating hd without creating a bootable disk... So i started the process to install yosemite, then i formated the hd and forgot that the installer was no more in applications because no more applications forlder!!! after the format it just allows me to install directly from app store which is taking 18 hours to download.
I tried to restart with original leopard cd but it didnt recognize it and jump back to yosemite install from app store..
What should i do?
Can anyone help me please? thanks

How did you even manage to start installing Yosemite? What operating system did you have before you upgraded? It wasn't Leopard, since you need Snow Leopard (10.6) to get to the App Store.

How to install Ciscom Connect after setting up the devise

I have set up my router E1200 v2 with the disc after the direction through live chat as I received error code. Now my router works well but I don't have Ciscom Connect software in my program. I downloaded it from the site and saved it in my folder as an application. Now, how I can install it? As it is 'set up software', when I make it run, it tries to set up but the router has already been set up so it can't complete the setting-up then no software is saved as a program nor no 'ciscom' file is created.
The software I downloaded was not the right one?
I can enter Ciscom Connect page as I know the address for directly connection but still I would like to have one as a program which allow me to go to the CC easily.
Let me know how to install CC software after setting up...
Thank you!
