HT201250 After installing wireless KB and MouseTime Machine cant find external HD after a year of no problems

Please HELP  I know there is a Mac Genius out there some where.
The only thing I can think of is I accendently unpluged External HD USB. I tried alll the basics.

Hi, Where were you booted from to use Disk Utility? Sounds like it wasn't the Restore partition, & you erased the whole Drive instead of just the OSX partition!???
You'll have to use the App Store, look for prchases, re-download 10.8 & install it in Target mode.
found a 15" ,Macbook Pro 10.6.3 installation disk
Gray Discs are machine specific.

    For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
    First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC

    If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.

    reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

    9.1. is an update and can only be installed if you have purchased iLife '11 on DVD or iPhoto '11 from the App store - and iPhoto '11 will not run on OS 10.5.8 - or 10.5.1

    Upgrading the iOS "over-the-air" was introduced with iOS 5. If you are currently running an iOS version < 5.0 you can only update through iTunes. Connect your iPad to your PC or Mac. Open iTunes and click on "Check for updates"

  • I just downloaded itunes 11.. and now i cant find out how to display duplicates and also it doesnt show the total amount of songs in my library...anybody know..???

    I just downloaded itunes 11 and now i cant find the display duplicates..and it doesnt show the total amount of songs in my library..anybody know..??

    Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.

  • I have a 2009 MB Pro. I have been trying to do some cleaning of files and discovered that in Finder, All Images, I am experiencing a frustrating problem. I spent a few hours trashing over 4K images and within a few hours, I had as many more. Help!

    I have a 2009 MB Pro. I have been trying to do some cleaning of files and discovered that in Finder, All Images, I am experiencing a frustrating problem. I spent a few hours trashing over 4K images and within a few hours, I had as many more.  I did a couple of thousand trashed images and half hour later, more arrived. There are a lot of images that seem off the internet, including gif.s, png.s. Help!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • I downloaded Safari and now I cant find the icon, i downloaded Safari and now I cant find the icon

    for some reason I dont have Safari on my computer.  I have been using Firefox but want to safari on my macbook pro.  So i downloaded it and now I cant find it  please help. 

    It may be that Safari is right where it always was, in the Applications folder, but that you deleted its icon from the Dock. Type the first few letters of "Safari" in the Spotlight search box at the right end of the menu bar. If Safari appears in the results, launch it, then drag the Dock icon where you want it.

  • Ok  so i downloaded movies and now i cant find them in my library

    ok so i downloaded movies and now i cant find them in my library anywhere i can find them in my account under purchaces

    Can you give a few more details on what you're seeing and not seeing?
    Can you see the songs listed in iTunes?  With the sidebar enabled (CTRL-S in iTunes 11 if you can't see it) do your see your purchased songs listed if you select Purchased under STORE?  Something like this:
    If you see a list like this, right-click on one of the songs and select Get Info / Summary tab.  It should show the location of the file containing the song:
    (the default location will be C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_name).  I'm assuming that you're not seeing this, since anything that's under Purchased should also be in your main library (Music under LIBRARY at the top of the sidebar) and you should be able to copy it into playlists, etc.
    If you don't see this, can you find the music files on your computer?  Again, the files should be under C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_name if you're following iTunes defaults and allowing it to organize your library.  Even if that's not the case you can run Windows Explorer and search your whole computer, using the name of the song or just *.m4a as the search string.  If you can find the music files but they are not listed in iTunes, you can re-import your songs into iTunes (File > Add file to Library ... or File > Add Folder to Library ...).
    If you still can't find them, either in iTunes or on the computer, you may still have two options.  The first would apply if you have the songs on an iPod or iPhone, the second would be to re-download (not re-purchase) from the iTunes store.  You'll find tutorials in these forums for both cases.  At the end of the day, though, you're encountering a problem that would be more readily addressed if you'd been maintaining a regular backup of your iTunes library.
