i want to reinstall my oprating system i lost usb stick please help me

Your signature says you have 10.6.8 and you've posted in the forum for it. If this is correct then USB sticks are irrelevant - you need the Snow Leopard install disks, either those which came with your Mac or the retail version (which can be purchased from the Apple Online Store).
If you are using a later system then the process is different, and you should ask in the forum appropriate to the system in question.
If your signature happens not to be correct, please amend it to prevent confusion.

On your friend's computer with an internet connection, log into the Mac App Store with your ID and download Yosemite from the Purchases section of the Mac App Store. The make a bootable USB install media using

Then boot from that on your computer and install

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!

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

I want to clean install my MAC OSX. Do I need to deactivate CC first?

If I do a clean install of my Mac OSX I will reformat my hard drive and thus lose my apps. Do I need to deactivate Adobe CC first? I have only one other computer with CC installed.
Thanks for any guidance.
Tim

Paul,
My intention is not to clean reinstall Adobe CC, but my OSX operating system, which will reformat my HD. I will then reinstall ALL my apps including CC, which I expect to be straightforward. The question was really about deactivation.
Thank for the reply, though.

I need to install new Mac operating system Yosemite. Will Adobe CS5.5 still be compatible with Yosemite or will I have toupgrade all my Adobe products?

I need to install an upgrade to my mac - Yosemite. Will my CS5.45 version of Adobe products be compatible with Yosemite or will I need to purchase and install upgrades to all the products?

Actually, the question is whether MacOS 10.10 is compatible with CS5.5, an existing application. Alas, when you are running MacOS, you pretty agree to an environment in which an OS upgrade may force application upgrades simply because Apple purposely does not maintain compatibility with existing applications. Sad, but true. Nothing that Adobe can do to get around this.
And more to your original point, Bob Levine is correct. It is not officially supported on MacOS 10.10 and even if you can coerce it to install and run at all, you will definitely have a compromised experience.

How do I re-install my Mac OSX Server from scratch

Hi,
I have purchased two MacMini Servers with 10.6 OSX Server software pre-installed.
I have changed the organization as our company name changed and run into license issues.
I want to re-install the Mac OSX Server software and start from scratch. How do I go about this. I tried yesterday for many hours to do so and the new installs are still running into duplicate license issues and other issues. What is the best approach to do re-install? I am willing to erase the internal Hard Disk and boot (with an external DVD optical drive) if that is the best way to go. What are the steps?
I have the original CDs or DVDs and have extra, external hard disks to do a Time Machine backup, etc.
Thanks,
Don

If you are looking to do a nuke and pave of the system, and you have an external optical drive, then yes, that is likely the most direct method. Connect the optical drive, insert the installation DVD, and reboot the system targeting the optical disk as the boot volume (you can do this by holding down the C key or the Option key during startup).
Now, if you do not have an optical drive, you can put the installation disk into another Mac running 10.6 and use the Remote Install Mac OS X application in your Utilities folder.
Hope this helps

The hard drive for my MacBook Pro recently crashed. I purchased and installed a new hard drive (i.e. a Samsung SSD). When I try to re-install the Mac operating system, I come to the part of the installation instructions where you are asked to choose a disk to install the software. However, there is no disk listed in the selection screen. Why is there no disk in the selection screen?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You haven't formatted the SSD, so you can't install Mac OS X.
First, close the OS X installer and open Disk Utility. Then, choose the SSD at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab, choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as "Format", and press Erase. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html

When I am re-installing the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older Mac I run into the window that says select the disk where you want to install Mac OSX but nothing is there to select

I am trying to re-install the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older I mac with a new hard drive. I run into the "select the disk "where you want to install Mac OSX but there is nothing in the window to select. Any advice?

After you install a new hard drive, you need to boot to another drive to initialize it to MAC OS Extended (journaled) format and create the partition(s) on the drive. You do this using Disk Utility. Otherwise, the mac operating install process doesn't see a formatted disk to install to.

I have this iMac late 2006 and I want to install the Mac OS X Lion

Hello,
       I want to install Mac os X lion, (not mountain lion) on my iMac Late 2006 , but it is no longer available in the mac app store. How can I do to install the Mac OS X Lion on my computer?
     The thing is that i was hoping the the mountain lion was compatible with my iMac, so is there a way i can still get the Mac OS X lion?

     Apple for some dumb reason removed it from the App store, so you now have to call them and ask for it. I also have a Late 2006 Mac Pro and luckily I took the plung awhile ago and bought it from the App store. Since they cut off so many machines still being used they should have left Lion in the store. Any 2006-2007 Mac Pro and any other Mac that has a video card that doesn't have 64b drivers cannot go to Mountain Lion.

I want to install a mac monitor to a Dell Latitude PC. I bought a VGA adapter but it still won't activate.

I want to install a mac monitor to a Dell Latitude PC. I bought a VDI to VGA adapter but it still won't activate.

Easiest thing I found was to manually expand any open window you're dealing with; including a webpage. To do this look at the bottom right hand corner of the window pane itself. Just below the Up and Down scrolling arrows is a corner with 3 diagonal lines. Grab that and drag in the direction (up, down, right, left, diagonal) that resizes the window to meet your needs. Once you've done this the size will be remembered when you open the window in the future. I've learned Apple doesn't like "full screen" mode. Just as well since filling the screen with an open application hides anything else you have open. And the Dock doesn't highlight or display the open Apps. Hint: I've learned to use the F3 key a lot. That way I can see everything that I've opened and change applications.

I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: you have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. I am sysadm

I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: 'You have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. Possibly it does not exist anymore. anybody out there who can help ?

Hi, I may suggest to activate the root account and try the uninstall process from that account. To do so, you have to:
Go to System Preferences a open up the Users pane;
On the left side of the pane, you shuold see Login Options;
Enabled editing option clicking on the lock (it will ask your password);
Once the pane is enabled, you should see something like Server Account Network (sorry my OS is in italian, so I don't exactly know the right translation), and right next to it a button;
Click on that button, and a new pane shows up. Click on Open Directory Utility, and on the upper bar of OS X click on Edit;
Select Enable Root Account (you can set a password, or not);
Done that, you should log out and when the login window show up, type on the user field "root" and the password you choose;
Theorically, from this account you will be able to unistall the application.
After completing your task, I reccomend you to disable the root account, just by loggin in your personal account and repeating the steps I described before. Hope it helps

I want to re-install OSX using the command with R on restart does not get me to the Mac Utilities page

I have a re-furbished Mac Book 2011. It's version 10.8.5. Processor - 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Memory - 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Startup disk - Mac HD.
I want to do a complete re-install of the operating system.
I have followed the instructions in the online manual to go to the Mac OS X utilities screen so I can do a re-install.
I have held the Command key with the R key when the grey screen comes on during a restart.
The only thing I get is the desktop screen but no Utilities screen.
Help.
Thanks.

That MacBook came with 10.6.7 originally. It should have Snow Leopard install DVD to do what you.
It is too old to have the Recovery Partition on it.
If you did get the DVD when you purchased it you can call Apple and request a replacement. They will charge you a nominal fee for shipping and handling.

What do I need to do to fix this problem?
