HT201364 i made the mistake of installing Maverick without having the extra 8 gig of space.
Now am I stuck in a loop of not being able to go back and take off files for the extra space and now able to move forward and restore from Time Machine
Tried to link with a firewire cable and togle "T" to see the HD on another computer to move files, but that didnt work either.

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again? My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract. I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.
HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app"; see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

How do I install Mavericks without invoking the OSX Server Plugin?
How do I perfrom a clean install of Mavericks from the Recovery Partition without it automatically installing, and then invoking or executing the OSX Server Plugin that ultimately results in rendering open directory operable as well as the server. I have ignored this continously, but the other day I went into the terminal and typed ARP -s that lists the shortname for the host of my MacBook Pro and it gave a totally different name than what I had given it in the wi-fi network interface under the WINS tab. More importantly, I do not want to install open directory nor the osx server plugin as it opens up more complexity than I want to deal with. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. BTW, below are the steps I performed for installing Mavericks.
1. Powered on the MacBook Pro and then hit the Option key.
2. This took me into the Recovery Partition, whereby I went into the Disk Util and erased or formatted the hard-drive.
3. I then clicked out of the Disk Utility and went into the Recovery Mode by clicking on reinstall the current OS.
4. I went through all the prompts and the system downloaded a current version of Mavericks.
5. After completion, I turned on my Macbook Pro and went through the prompts to install Mavericks.
6. This is all I did, and I didn't download the OSX plugin nor invoke it in the new version of the Operating System.
I just assumed that it was a standalone version until I found the server for osx running with open directory invoked, the server invoked, along
with other components relative to a new standalone version.
Again, my question is simple: How can I reinstall Mavericks without it downloading and automatically
iinvoking the components as described above?Hi. Because both Mavericks and Windows 8 are still new, they may not be free of error. Apple needs more time to perform more tests to ensure that these two different OS's will work properly without getting in conflicts. If it's posdible, I highly recommand you to downgrade back to Lion or Mountain Lion and install Windows 7 (if you have a copy of it). In my experience, all advises from Genius Bar members and computer articles confirm that Windows 7 will work on Macs with Lion OS. It should also work on Mountain Lion. Besides Boot Camp, you could try to virtualize Windows OS and its applications by using VirtualBox, CrossOver and other VMs. I already have an Oracle VirtualBox but I would like to try Boot Camp since it allows me to enjoy almost all Windows features that may be limited in VMs.

Finding the iPhone s serial number without having the phone
My husband s iPhone 6 has recently been stolen. How can we find the serial number for the phone without having the phone?
We usually try to answer specific questions - like your "serial number" one. If you are needing it to Report a lost or stolen Apple product - Apple Support - then I see you are likely at an impasse.
If you had "Find my iPhone" activated prior to the theft > If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support can help safeguard you info and disable the iPhone so it will be useless to the thief.

Re-install Mail without having the disk ...
After beeing having deleted Mail from my hard disk I now want to re-install, but I can't locate the right Mac OS X install Disc and would think Mail would be available somewhere as a download ... Can't find it though. Anyone any tips, except for installing Thunderbird, which I allredy have?
Cheers!
MichaelYou can use Pacifist to extract and install just that application from your 10.5.x install disk. Then update with the 10.5.8 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

I bough a Mac Pro 2010 second hand and deleted all the files without backing up now is asking me for the Apple ID of the person who installed maverick,any ideas
If the Mac's firmware was updated, you can try this Internet Recovery:
Hold down Command + Option + R during restart or bootup; hold until you see a spinning globe (takes up to 10 minutes). Once in the Utilities window, use Disk utility to wipe the drive, then return to the window and choose to reinstall OS X. If that works, the OS will be installed without being tied to an Apple ID.
FWIW, if the firmware was updated, you will not be able to use the Snow leopard disk to install - I just did several tests and it does not work. You can, however, possibly install the SL onto an external drive and then clone it to the internal or (if you have a clone), boot from that and clone it back - I just tested that as well.
If the firmware was not updated, then you can use the SL install disk. -
Hi, I have all the specs for installing Mavericks but it wont do it. Would upgrading first to Mountain Lion help?
Are you sure?
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
A. Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

i made a mistake. i installed windows using boot camp without os x lion dvd. what should i do? help pls
Re: can i install windows for pc on my mac or do i need the windows for mac?There is no Lion DVD. Start Boot Camp Assistant and select the menu item to download the Windows Support Software.

Have just installed Mavericks and restarted the MacBook Pro. That was 3 hours ago and after logging in, I got my wallpaper and dock, but none of my desktop icons, just the spinning coloured wheel. It's been like that for 2 hours. Is this normal? What should I do, please?
I tried holding the on/off switch down to make it shut down, but when I turned it back on again, the same thing happened and none of the keys etc makes any difference.
HELP!!!! Please.No, what you're experiencing is not normal.
Try booting whilst holding down the Shift key - this will allow you to boot into Safe Mode, disabling third-party kernel extensions, etc. Your Mac will be slow to boot and will operate sluggishly. That's normal. If you can get in using Safe Mode then you have some start-up item that doesn't play well with Mavericks.
Call back,

Why is my WD My Book for Mac not showing up on the finder after installing Mavericks?
I recently upgraded to Mavericks. I have a WD My Book. I had received emails from WD stating that the software from WD had to be removed from the Mac before installing Mavericks. So I waited until I received an email from WD saying they had resolved the issue. I upgraded to Mavericks and used the new Drive Manager and SmartWare software from WD. The software (WD) recognizes my iMac, but the WD My Book does not appear through their software or in the Finder on my iMac.
I've called WD twice and it seems they have no idea what to do. They replied with an email for software to recover my files. But I can't even see the files on the My Book drive to recover them. Is this a Mavericks issue? Do I need to download something from Apple? I don't think the issue is to recover files. It's just that the iMac is not recognizing the drive at all.
Help!
Thanks,
Jose.WD new software and firmware is having serious issues.

I installed mavericks today and the mail will not open and just keeps on not responding how do I get it back I have force quit it a number of times now
Open the system menu via Alt+Space or click the Firefox icon on the title bar and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Installing a clean OS X Mavericks without erasing the hard drive?
Is it possible to install a "clean" OS X Mavericks (i.e. a fresh OS, NOT just upgrading over the existing OS) without erasing the hard drive? I might be dating myself here, but I recall being able to do this with previous OS upgrades. I'm currently running Mountain Lion and think maybe something has gotten corrupted. I am specifically having trouble with Time Machine. I'm hoping a fresh OS will fix it, but I'd rather not erase my hard drive. Since Time Machine isn't working, backing up and restoring the hard drive would be tedious.
Use the Disk Utility to repartition the drive, or install Mavericks onto an external one. The Archive & Install option was removed in 10.6.

I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?
If you own any verson of iPhoto '11 then there is a free update to version 9.5.x in the App store
If you own a previous version of iPhto (iPhoto '09 or earlier) then as always an upgrade to a new version (in this case iPhoto '11) is a paid upgrade and you purchase it in the App store
and no OS update/upgrade contains a version of iPhto - it is a seperate program and although it is included as part of every new Mac it is not a free program and never has been sinve version 1 or 2 (I forget when it changes)
