How to reload maverick after swiping off hard drive

i bought a used 2008 mac pro and need to swipe it clear because i dont have the administrators password. my original question is can i reload maverick back on to it. i am told no because my Apple ID is tied to it.

  • How do i get back my audiobook back on itunes after deleted off hard drive

    how do i get back my audiobook back on itunes after deleted off hard drive

    Audiobooks are not available for redownload. If it is still in your recycle bin recover it from there, or your backup, or if it is on an iDevice reclaim it with transfer purchases.
    Last restort would be to contact the iTunes store support staff and explain the circumstances in which you lost your only non-backed up copy and ask if they could possibly reissue it. They have no obligation to do so, but you may get lucky if you ask nicely.
    And please, make a backup!

  • I can't find my harddrive when i try to reload OS after i relaced hard drive, How do i find it?

    How do I find my hard drive when i try to reload OS after i replaced it?

    Insert your Original OS X Install or Upgrade Disc and startup holding the Option Key. > Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
    Startup from the Install Disk and open (depending on the install disc version) Utilities > Disk Utility.
    Next you will need to use Disk Utility to set the new drives Partition Map Scheme to GUID Partition Table and it's Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Then you will need to reinstall the OS X either from your backup Clone, Time Machine or fresh from the Install Disc.

  • How to move files after installing new hard drive

    I am considering the installation of a new 80 or 100 GB hard drive. I purchased the new iLife 06 program but I do not have enough space to install on my present 60 GB unit. I only have 3 GB available. I've read all the posts involving the possible brands, downloaded the instructions how to swap out the units. My question is how to backup and install my files and applications so I may reinstall onto the new drive. Can I just copy my hard drive volume onto my external Lacie storage unit and then drag the volume back to the new hard drive after booting off my OS disk? Any advice on how to move my apps and files? Do I need to purchase cloning software?

    The easiest way is buy an external firewire enclosure and put your new drive in it. Then format your new drive. then use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy your internal drive onto your new drive. Then install your new drive and put your old one in the enclosure. You are now in business with an external backup on your old drive.

  • How to reinstall Tiger after formatting the hard drive

    Hey folks, I think this is a common question but I haven't been able to find a solution to it after researching through the forums and google.
    The situation is I've recently bought a second hand mac online. It was previously a ex-lease so the seller had formatted the whole system/hard disk, so I need to reinstall the OS.
    The seller unfortunately didn't include the reinstallation disks so I'm using the disks from my Mac. My mac is iMac 20" Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz/2GB/250GB/ATI Radeon X1600(256) and the installation disk is for Mac OS X 10.4.7.- Could this be the problem? That the OS on the installation disk is too new for the mac?
    Here are the specs for the second hand Mac:
    iMac G5 (no iSight) 1.8ghz, 1gb ram, 80 hdd, dvd-rw, geforce fx 5200 graphics card, onboard modem., etc.
    I've tried rebooting the disk by holding "c" or "command" at start up and it recognises the disk but it doesnt proceed to the utility page that is mentioned in other solutions.
    Instead it comes up with a error message saying:

    I think the system is fine because it is recognising that there is a disk, but the error just comes up each time it boots it. Any suggestions please?
    Many thanks in advance!(=

    Hi monkee_appelz!
    If you call Apple Customer Service 1-800-767-2775, and provide the serial number of the iMac, you may be able to purchase replacement original system discs.
    However, those will be for the version of OS, that was pre-installed when manufactured.
    But, they will contain the bundled software, that is not included in a Full Retail Version, of a newer OS X. The Apple Hardware Test, specific to the iMac model, will also be included.
    If the 80 GB HD is original, your model is the 17" iMac G5/ 1.8 MHz which had Panther 10.3.5 pre-installed when manufactured.
    The 17" iMac G5/ 1.8 GHz (ALS) was the only 1.8 GHz model to have Tiger 10.4.x pre-installed when manufactured.
    If you want to upgrade to a newer version of OS X, you will also need to purchase a corresponding Full Retail Version, of the desired system.

  • Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

    I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

    You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
    If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

    Before you have another accident:
    Buy a UPS of good quality and sufficient to your needs.
    I would have to assume that the drives were connected to a PCI PATA card, hopefully. Otherwise, well RAID and having drives on the same bus (master and slave).
    And no backup, none at all...
    Get your hands on a G4.
    Data Rescue 3 from Prosoft maybe.
    If they were SATA and running on PCI SATA controller, very popular and common really in G4s, more options would be open.

  • How do I get finder to recognize my hard drive after pulling my hard drive out without eject...? Is my hard drive dead? I see it in disk utility... Can I get my info back?

    I have a seagte back up plus. I pulled my hard drive out without ejecting it and now finder dosn't find it but I see it in disk utility (although I cant repair permissions) How do I get finder to recognize my hard drive after pulling my hard drive out without eject...? Is my hard drive dead? I see it in disk utility... Can I get my info back?
    Thank you so much for any help

    In Disk Utility you need to see a volume or partition in addition to the drive.
    If all you see is the drive, then when you ejected it you proably corrupted the volume or partition on the drive.
    If that is true then your chances of getting anything back are slim at best.
    About the only thing I know that might work not is to send the disk out to a service for recovery. This is going to cost like $$$$.
    Is the data worth that much?

  • HT201250 How to recover iPhoto Library after format of hard drive?

    I've recently reinstalled Lion onto my hard drive but I forgot to backup my iPhoto library. Is there any way of recovering this library? I also have an external hard drive that had Time Machine Backups but that hard drive has since gone through formats as well. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    SOLUTION : iPhoto folder recovered after formatting hard drive by mistake.
    I was able for recover my iPhoto library ( intact ) after formatting the hard drive by mistake.
    On top of that I formatted it in FAT32 format. My iPhoto folder was huge 100GB with file and movies of all sort of formats. I kept it on a secondary hard drive of 500 GB. one day I was formatting flash drive for somebody which was 500Mb, seems similar to my 500GB and I formatted my hard drive by mistake. I realized the mistake a week after the person called me and said there is nothing in flash disk and I find a single file on my hard drive. Needless to say the earth disappeared underneath me. All my pictures for 10 years , 8000 thousand of them, cherished memories all gone. But was I determined to find them back and I know they are intact somewhere. My biggest fear was that formatting on MS-dos format might have really deleted them , but they were there. and here is how I got them back.
    First I tried the Data recuse 3 software. I got the photos back,  but they were all jumbled up. Long numerical file names and original dates were gone. No way I could sort it out back to the way it was before . So my target was to recover the iPhoto folder intact.
    - I bought an external hard drive with 1tb space to retrieve the data.
    - The software which did the miraculous job is called  " STELLAR PHOENIX MAC DATA RECOVERY" .
    - I ran a deep scan all night and came up with many volumes.  volume-1 was the MS dos , volume 2 was a mac system,
    - I tried MS dos volume first and there was nothing on it.
    - I tried the 2 volume with mac system. It got all my files and some other system file.
    - I could see the iPhoto folder and click on that only to recover. After that I went for my doc and other files later.
    - It took hours to retrieve my iPhoto folder intact, The folder size was right and file were there in master folder.
    - I checked in FINDER , opening iPhoto with "show content " and all my picture file were there with original date.
    - BUT when tried opening it in iPhoto , there was nothing. it keep showing the wait icon and nothing shows up. Empty iPhoto.
    - I tired starting iPhoto , holding command -option and tried building and repairing database, nothing worked.
    - Then I got this software " iPhoto library manager" .
    - downloaded, installed it and pointed it towards my iPhoto folder.
    - It asked for space to rebuild a new iPhoto library with existing picture and folder.
    I had another external hard drive , I used it to make a rebuild  iPhoto library.
    and there I GOT IT. only took three night of pain.
    IMPORTANT:
    I never touched my original formatted hard drive. Don't write anything on it until you are sure you have recovered everything. open and see files with your own eyes.
    - I recovered the iPhoto on another hard drive and then built it on another hard drive . Yes its pain in the neck but well worth fixing your stupid mistake of not making a back up in the first place.
    I hope this helps all who are looking for iPhoto recovery and their lovely memories.

  • How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

    How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

    Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)
