HT3986 restoring mac os

im using mac osx 10.7.3 while installing windows using boot camp my mac partition got deleted.....is der any possibility of restoring mac os

There is no such option with OS X.
Which app did you install? If you want to restore OS X to it's previous state before an application was installed, remove/delete the application. If this application includes an uninstall feature, you should use it.

  • I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

    Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
    You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.

    Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

  • Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?

    Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?
    So what I did was, I had bought my iMac from a shop and asked them to do bootcamp for me. However, they installed 32 bit instead of 64. My fault, I did not make my self clear about it. So after it has been delivered to my house, I realized that I wanted the 64 bit. I tried to remove windows on bootcamp but honestly, I have not experienced this before. So I failed. I believe, I did something wrong.
    So I opened the iMac and it keeps asking me to go to windows. Windows OS also corrupted.
    I tried the Option Key but the only option is Windows 7 only. So using a different keyboard, I press option and it only shows Windows HDD and the Mac HDD has gone.
    What am I going to do? How can I restore Mac OS without the HDD anymore?

  • How do I restore Mac Mini late 2009 to factory settings. Error occurs.

    I have a late 2009 Mac Mini with 2.26 ghz core and 2 GB memory running Lion 10.7.4. I wish to restore my computer to factory settings but when I put in my Snow Leopard disc I continue to get an error message that reads "You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X with this version of Mac OS X. You have Install Mac OS X 23.1.1."
    I wish to restore my Mac to Snow Leopard and then redownload Lion from the App Store and start fresh with 10.7.4 on my restored Mac but I am finding it incredibly difficult.

    You might have to erase the Drive first, but did you try reinstalling Lion from the Restore Partition?
    Hold CMD+r keys at bootup?
    Otherwise...
      1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, 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 at the top of the screen. (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.

    Hello, Esmin77.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I see you want to restore your MacBook Pro from an external drive.  Here is an article that may help you with this process if you used Time Machine to backup these files.

    That depends on what you mean by "restore," what system your MacBook Pro came with when it was new, and/or what backups you have taken.

  • How to restore mac air osx 10.6.7

    how to restore mac air osx 10.6.7

    Hi Jeannette,
    If you have the newest MacBook Air then you would have received a USB "thumb drive" with the OS installation media on it. You'd want to plug that into one of your available USB ports and run the installer. If your MacBook Air is a generation or two old then it would have come with DVD installation media. You'd need an external DVD drive (USB) or to configure Disc Sharing with another computer (Mac or PC).
    Here's a good article regarding the USB stick - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4399

    To restore the Late 2010 MacBook Air to factory settings:
    1. Insert the OS X thumb drive that came with your computer, hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting and choose your USB drive.

  • Backup and restore Mac

    Hard drive is failing and so I will need to backup and restore Mac onto new drive. My Mac is a Macbook 2009 and I use Time Machine weekly for backups. So when my new drive comes what will I do? What I imagine I will do is the following.
    1. Take out old drive and install new one.
    2. Boot from OSX SL Boot CD and format hard drive.
    3. Restore Mac from time machine backup from Boot CD? Or would I need to install SL first?
    4. Mavericks, Mountain Lion and such were installed from the Apple Store and have no CD so this may complicate things.
    5. Regarding Windows XP Partiton I have no idea but I may need to install XP and Office again and if so I have the CD's. Or is there an easier way?
    Thank you for your help.
    John

    If you can put the new drive in an external USB or FireWire case, and use SuperDuper! (Free for a full clone) or Carbon Copy Cloner) it would make your life much easer when you swap the drive.
    As for Windows partition, you would need a Windows cloning utility.

    Most likely, some folders were inadvertently excluded from your backups, and as a result you can't restore your data in Recovery, Setup Assistant, or Migration Assistant.
    Starting from a fresh installation of OS X, set up a new administrator account and log in. You should now be able to enter Time Machine and restore your user data from a snapshot.* I suggest you do this in two stages. Quit all applications except the Finder before you begin.
    Restore all the visible items at the top level of your home folder.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Enter Time Machine and restore all items in the Library folder. Log out and log back in as soon as the restore is complete.
    Any other invisible folders or files at the top level of your home folder that you want to preserve will have to be restored separately. For most users, that isn't necessary.
    You'll have to reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, or restore them from another kind of backup, if you have one.
    You'll have another problem if this is a new computer, or if you erased the startup volume: Time Machine won't continue your previous snapshot series, but will instead try to begin a new one, starting with a full copy of all files. There might not be enough space on your backup volumes for that. There are different ways of dealing with that situation, depending on your needs. The easiest way is to set your backup drives aside, if possible, until you're sure you'll no longer need the data on them, then erase them and start over. Meanwhile start a new backup on one or more empty storage devices. If that solution isn't workable for you, ask for instructions.
    *If you don't see any snapshots in Time Machine, exit the time-travel view and then hold down the option key while selecting
    Browse Other Backup Disks...
    from the Time Machine menu, which has an icon that looks like a clock running backwards. Select the backups of your computer by its previous name. If you don't have the Time Machine menu, open the Time Machine preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked
    Show Time Machine in menu bar
