I don't have the option of installing a clean copy of Snow Leopard

I'm new to Mac and have been exploring different programs that would fulfill the same functions as the programs I had been using on Vista. Unfortunately, my computer got a little wonky somewhere along the way and I want to remedy it by erasing the hard drive and installing a clean copy of Snow Leopard. I've looked in my owner's manual as well as several websites online. They all tell me to select something either from a tab or an Options menu but there isn't one. When I reach the Select Destination window, I have the option to customize what is installed (i.e. Quicktime, Rosetta, etc.), go back and continue. Is it not possible or something???

it's possible but there is likely no need to do this. what exactly is wrong with your computer? a simple reinstall of snow leopard on top of your current system will cure many ills and will preserve your data and applications. and many problems can be solved without reinstalling at all.
but if you insist on doing a wipe and install boot from the SL install DVD and start disk utility from utilities menu at the top. erase your hard drive using the erase tab in disk utility. then quit disk utility and proceed with the install. and if you do reinstall I suggest you back up your data first. otherwise it will be completely wiped when you erase your hard drive. and you should always back up anyway.

I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard.

I don't have the option to create a new table in my database

Hi, I have SQL 2014, for some reason, a few weeks ago I was able to create a new table for my databases, now, I don't have the option to do so, all I get when I right click on tables is "Tables..." instead of "New Table", when I select
"Tables..." it allows me to write my codes but it doesn't save except in a text files witch doesn't want to open when I want to resume my work.
Is there any option in SQL to activate the "New Table" by right clicking on Tables? I have all the rights and permissions available to my use as it's my computer and my own server.
To fix the issue I tried
-Re-installing SQL
-Changed for 4 different versions
-Allowing more than necessary permissions
-Making it public to use (it's only to test it, anyway, I'm in the learning phase)
Any kind of help or advice will be welcome and much appreciated.
Thank you!

I don't know the reason why you are experiencing this, so what I am describing below are just some steps that you can take to diagnose the problem if it is related to a permissions issue.
1. If you are not already on the computer where SQL Server is installed, login on that box and launch SQL Server Management Studio and run it as Administrator.
2. Connect to the Server and open up the object explorer and expand the Security node that is directly under the Sever tab.
3. Under logins, find your login, right-click properties and see what kind of server level permissions you have, and which databases you are mapped to and what kind of permissions you have on those.
It may just be that this is not related to permissions at all, but I can't think of what that would be. To test whether it is a SSMS GUI problem or not, open up a query window and select a database on which you think you have permissions to create tables.
Then create a test table using T-SQL, for example:
create table dbo.MyTestTable( col1 int);

In MAX, I don't have the option to create a DAQmx Simluated Device. Why not?

I'm new to LABView. I installed the software, including the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Within MAX, I am trying to create a DAQmx Simulated Device, as suggested in a training guide (which I quote below). I don't have the option to create such a thing upon right-clicking on "Devices and Interfaces". I am given the option to create a new GPIB-VXI Interface, a Port, VISA TCP/IP Resource, and GPIB-ENET/100. I'd appreciate if someone can help me to create a simulated device according to the following steps, given that I currently lack the option "NIDAQmx Simulated Device":
3. Create a simulated DAQ device for use later in this course. Simulated devices are a powerful tool for development without having hardware physically installed in your
computer. Right-click Devices and Interfaces and select Create New…»NIDAQmx Simulated Device. Click “Finish”.
4. Expand the M Series DAQ section. Select PCI-6220 or any other PCI device of your choice. Click “OK”.
Thanks.

It sounds like you didn't install DAQmx. Open MAX and get a list of the software present. If you don't see DAQmx listed, install it from the CD/DVD or download the latest version.

I don't have the option to run firefox 8 in 32 bit mode on my computer

The majority of the websites I try to open give me a pop up saying I need to open them in "32 Bit Mode". When I go to the applications, then Firefox, I don't have the option of 32 bit mode there. Do I have to download it? My dad has it on his computer, he has Firefox 8, same as me.

AMDS failed- I don't have the "privileges" to install it -.-

Well, I am frustrated... seriously...
I jsut got the iPod nano for cheristmas and i can't use it, because i can't install the AMDS.
basically, when i try to install AMDS it says that I don t have the prvileges to install it. so i ahve to skip this installation... in the end, i can't find the drivers to install my ipod on my laptop.
how can i have the privileges?????
I am so angry with Apple, not only they sell products with problems, but they have not solved them. and they probably even give a .... to this community,otherwise they would have solved the problem.
so mad at you..
thank you guys of the community... i hope you can help me

sorry, don t understand how it miht help O.o
anyway, I think i know what wrong is going on.
AMDS basically install drivers on your computer. When you connect your iPod you use the drivers to reconize it.
Since I don t have these drivers, no chance my iPod is reconized.
the porblem why i can't install ADMS is that there are some privileges that do not allow me.
hope someone will come up with an idea to solve this problem

I just reformatted my laptop (it's like new now). When I plug in my iPod/iPhone, in the Photos section, I don't have the option of choosing iPhoto to sync albums to my devices. What do I do?

I just reformatted my laptop (it's like new now). When I plug in my iPod/iPhone, in the Photos section, I don't have the option of choosing iPhoto to sync albums to my devices. What do I do so I iPhoto becomes an option in iTunes?

I didn't have iPhoto so I had to purchase it from the App store but that didn't help. I think the problem is because my devices still think they are synced to the previous version of my mac, but I don't know how to get them to sync with the new setup.

Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options

Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options.
Is this due to my Hosting Plan? Appreciate any answers.

Your site is a CCM site which is on a WebBasics plan (This plan does not provide hosted emails on Business Catalyst).
If you want to create email addresses on this site, you would need to setup your email server elsewhere and configure the MX records on your site to point to that external mail server.
If you want to use Business Catalyst's hosted email services you would need to use a WebBasics+ or higher siteplan. To upgrade your CCM free site, Access your site's admin area -> Site Management -> Upgrade Now -> choose the desired site plan and billing frequency -> Add personal and credit card details -> Submit.
Please refer this article about setting up email accounts on your BC site: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users

This option was added to the iOS with version 5. If you have an earlier version of the iOS on your phone you need to start iTunes on the computer you normally sync with and connect your phone to the computer. Select your phone in iTunes and select Summary in the row of tabs presented. Scroll down under Summary to find Check for Updates.
