Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
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.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

HT2471 How do I recover my Mac Book Pro back to the day I purchased it? Will I lose the apps that came with this Mac Book when I recover it?

How do I recover my Mac Book Pro back to the day I purchased it? Will I lose apps that came with the Mac Book if I recover it?

Press the command and r keys when turning on your Macbook. Do not release those keys until you see the apple logo...
Disk Utility will pop up.....Your choices are to reinstall, you will not lose anything....
if however, you decide to format/erase your drive, then reinstall, you will lose everything...
suggestion - back everything up and do a clean install.
good luck

IF UPDATES TO APPS THAT CAME WITH OUR MAC ARE FREE, WHY DOES APPLE REQUIRE BILLING INFORMATION TO BE COMPLETED IN THE SCREEN JUST BEFORE ACCESS TO INSTALLING FREE UPDATES???

It is necessary to confirm your identity as the 'buyer'. Please do not use all capital letters. It is not well regarded here and can be tricky to read for some. Thank you.

How do i re-install AOL Mail app that came with IOS???

How do i re-install AOL Mail app that came with IOS??? I was having an issue with it and uninstalled it from phone. It does not appear in list of apps on Itunes. The one in App store is not the same product.

There is no "AOL mail app that comes with iOs." The iOS Mail App can't be deleted. Is your phone jailbroken?

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Can I change the Apple ID assigned to the iLife apps that came with the Mac on purchase?

My wife and I own 3 apple devices. For ease we use one single Apple ID on all devices. Issue occured when my wife purchased the iMAC whilst I was overseas - during the in store set up (not knowing the impact) allowed the shop assistant set up a new Apple ID for her; resulting in the in built iLife apps (such as iPhoto) being associated to that Apple ID. We have since used the original Apple ID for everything on the MAC.
The problem occurs when app updates for the original iLife Apps are released - I can't update them under our Apple ID.
Can I delete iPhoto and re-install under our original ID without loosing all our photos - or is there an easier way to change the ID of the Apps?

If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
You can verify the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

I made a partition for Yosemite. It's the only one I use. I want to delete the other one that came with my mac. It won't let me do it. How do I do it?

Hello. I made a partition a while back for Yosemite. Now, I have two partitions. The Yosemite one and the other one that I made smaller and changed the name to Erase so that its easier. I need more space on my Yosemite one. How can I Make the Yosemite Partition have all of the memory. I hate that I know I have like 900 gigs lurking around my iMac that I can never use. Please help.

Erase the large partition. Clone the small volume to the large volume. Boot from the large volume. Delete the small volume then extend the large volume to the full size of the disk.

Mac Book Pro Won't Open My External Drive

I have a 200gb external drive. When I plug it into my fire wire 400, the macbook recognizes the drive, but when I try to open it, I get ye olde spinning color wheel that goes on until I turn off the drive. Any ideas?

First, I will inform you that your nik is inappropriate. Please change it immediately. We're not prudes here on the Apple Discussions, but we do try to maintain a bit of decorum.
Nevertheless, I will try to help you. There are several possible explanations for the behavior you are seeing. The most likely is that the volume on your external drive has suffered a disk error. Connect the drive and turn it on, then open Disk Utility, select the drive's volume on the left in the "First Aid" pane, and click on "Repair Disk." Let us know what, if any, errors it reports, and if it is able to successfully repair the volume.
One of a several things might happen when you attempt to repair the volume. The best scenario for you is if it actually finds erors and is able to repair them; problem solved. It could find errors and not be able to repair them, in wich case you will need to either format the volume or use Disk Warrior to attempt further repairs. Even if Disk Warrior works, I would recommend backing up what you can after successful repairs, then reformatting the volume.
Disk Utility might "freeze" when attempting to either unmount or repair the drive. In this case, circumstances point to a problem not with the volume, but with communication between your computer and the volume. This could be caused by incompatible firmware on the drive, or bad hardware in the drive. If it is a firmware issue, it can be resolved by downloading and installing updated firmware (if it exists) for the drive. Check the drive manufacturer's website.
"Bad drive hardware" could be a bad enclosure "bridge" (Firewire to ATA), a bad ATA cable in the enclosure (I've experienced this problem myself in the past), or a bad drive inside the enclosure. Of these three problems, a bad cable would be the easiest to fix. Obviously, fixing it would involve opening the enclosure, but once opened it is a simple matter to replace the existing cable with a new one.
Follow what instructions I have given, then use the additional info I have given to help you troubleshoot this problem. Good luck, and change that name(!!).

I purchased my iMac using the same (and only) Apple ID I use to purchase apps. Third-party apps update fine, but the apps that came with my iMac (iPhoto, iMovie, etc) bring up a message saying I have to log in with the account I used to purchase them.

I used my only Apple ID to purchase my iMac (Intel-based one). I've never been able to update core apps that came with it. I can update third party apps I've bought (like Coda), but when I try to update Garage Band, iPhoto, iMovie and so on, a popup message appears saying "You have updates available for other accounts" and "Log in with the account you used to purchase this app in order to update it", or similar (see screenshot above).
The OS seems to get its updates fine - it's just the core apps from the App Store.
I've only ever had one Apple ID, so I have no idea what to do. I went to ask the Genius bar at my local Apple store, and they couldn't help, and insisted that I must have purchased the iMac using a different account, but I definitely didn't. There are a few posts on non-Apple forums of this happening to other people, so it must be a rare bug.
I'm a little concerned it may affect my ability to update from Lion to Mountian Lion. Can anyone help?

Have you done a Disk Repair and a Disk Permissions Repair?
If that doesn't resolve the problem I would suggest calling customer support about this issue as it is most likely on their (Apple's) end that the problem exists.

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

Well
I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem. Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol. Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

What are you trying to reinstall?

If I install Windows on my Mac using Boot Camp, will I be able to use a Windows Keyboard instead of the Keyboard that came with my Mac?

The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password. Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.
