I have a group of macs that were osx but are now windows xp. How do I get them back to osx?

I need help getting some macs to being macs. The last guy working on them didn't understand them so he changed them all to windows xp. Now I would like to get them all back to osx. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I tried that but it won't load because windows hard drive setup is different than the macs. I need to figure out what I need to change from the disc utility to allow osx to install on the hard drive.

Is there a way i can get them back as i did not want it to restore my old phone anyway! i also had my hone set up to the cloud and it didnt work! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME

    Can you try to use another computer?
    If this does not work, visit an Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place, and show them the phone, maybe they can restore it before you'll have to get it serviced.
    Did you try to put it in recovery mode?

  • I seem to have lost all of my playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back? Dont know what I did wrong? Please Help

    I seem to have lost all my original playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back, where did I go wrong?
    If I was to press "restore" does this wipe everything off my library? I always thought that you could never loose songs? That they were always stored somewhere
    in there. Please help,

    If those tabs aren't in History > Recently Closed Tabs or Windows then they are probably lost.
    You can try to search them in the History if you haven't bookmarked them.
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

  • HT4623 I have just updated to IOS 7.04 and my mail, calendar and notes are now blank. How do I get it back?

    I have just updated to IOS 7.04 and my mail, calendar and notes are now blank. How do I get it back?

    it sounds like you were using iCloud. Go under Settings > iCloud and make sure the switch for Notes is ON (green side showing). If it's already on, turn it off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on. Your notes should sync up.

  • I recently changed from a Mac Pro to an iMac. A large chunk of emails have disappeared. Time Machine is no help. Any ideas as to how I can get them back?

    I recently changed from a Mac Pro to an iMac. Despite using Migration Assistant, a large chunk of my recent emails and nearly all of my wife's emails have disappeared in transit. Strangely, emails from my distant past are still there. Time Machine is no help; the messages may be on my backup disc but they're behind an invisible  icon. Any ideas as to how I can get them back?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • I have synced my phone it has taken all my purchases photos and videos how do i get them back

    i have synced my phone it has wiped all my purchases photos and videos how do i get them back

    Did you sync to a different computer than the one you had previously synced to? If so you need to sync to the original computer. Otherwise you can just restore the last backup you made on the previous sync.

  • Hi somehow all my bookmarks on my Mozilla Firefox toolbar disapeared that I saved on my AOL toolbar. How can I get them back?

    Hi on my Firefox browser I had saved links via my AOL toolbar that suddenly disappeared yesterday and Im wondering if anyone knows what could have happened and how I can get them restored? I was just online visiting web sites and noticed they just disappeared.

    Hello,
    Please confirm that the problem you faced was this
    #You had an issue with our Internet access
    #Telstra fixed the issue and restarted your modem
    #Now in Firefox you are unable to view your bookmarks
    Is that the issue? If so, it is unlikely that a connectivity issue has caused this problem. Also, can you please confirm if you have enabled Firefox Sync?
    Thank you

  • HT4528 I have photos on my phone that will not download.... How can I get them to download to my computer.

    I have photos on my phone that I can see but cannot get them to download to my computer.... Please help.

    Are these photos in your camera roll? I ask, because only camera roll photos/videos can be imported to a computer.

  • I have CD's from 2002 that won't load on my pc. How can I get them on itunes without re-buying them?

    Pleas help, I recently purchased all of the CD's form Nickleback and some are too old to load onto my computer. They work on cd players fine and the newer ones work on computer so i assume thats the problem. Anyway I wanted them on my itunes but dont want to have to buy them again. Any suggestions on how to do this? thanks

    Yeah, if they didn't work on anything I wouldn't be so confused. I assumed it was age simply because they are older CD's, but I bought them brand new even though they date back to 2002. And since my laptop is a few years old, I figured it doesn't have the same software as my new PC, but must still be too new for the CD's. To be honest I thought DVD drives jst played all CD's, didn't think they could pick and choose.
    Is there anyway to use the barcodes etc on iTunes to get the songs on to it? Or will I have to buy the albums off of iTunes...

  • My latest import photos are missing from my iphoto library but still on my ipad, how do I get them back into iphotos. I very frustrated because i just imported them from my camera and have not been able to go thru and edit the ones I want. Help please

    I recently imported pictures from my camera to iphoto. I also synced my ipad. In less than 24 hours my photos are now missing from iphoto even after trying to sync my ipad again. These pictures are from a very special occasion and I did not even get time to edit. Someone help please

    -Background-
    My issue, which I resolved and may help you was the following:
    I have an IPAD 3. I took over 5 GB of pictures on a third party camera. The car was full so I imported those pictures to my IPAD 3 and deleted them from the SD card. While on IOS 5.x, the photos on the IPAD were there under last imported.
    Over the last few days, I upgraded to IOS 6. No issues.
    Then, my family wanted to see the pictures from the trip. I went to the IPAD and could not find the photos. It listed 40 photos only. The last imported was there, but listed as empty. When I went into the settings>usage, it listed 5GB + of photos in the photos area. I was confused. I plugged my IPAD into ITUNES, first thinking I would get a backup asap (icloud was full after importing the photos). Then I though I would downgrade to IOS 5.
    Also, itunes listed that I had 40 photos only, but 5GB of OTHER data. I was convinced the data was not lost. When I tried to browse the IPAD 3 using windows browser, the photos where NOT in the DCIM folder, so I was not able to simply "FIND" the photos and copy them to my PC.
    -SOLUTION-
    I downloaded third party software onto my PC called "http://www.i-funbox.com/" I fun box. I had no idea if this would work, but other forums with other issues called out similar products for iphone issues.
    When I installed the program, which was free, and so far free of malware, I started  to explore my IPAD file system.I found my photos, under IPAD>RAW file system>DCIM>100IMPRT.
    -ROOT CAUSE-
    I suspect when I upgraded to IOS 6, apple fails to register the IMPORT folder of photos as such, photos. So the file system in IOS looses sight of what is inside the last imported folder. Essentially removing them from applications such as "Photos". Why windows does not seem them, is beyond me. But the program I found did see them in raw format, and I was able to COPY them to my PC. Then I deleted them from the IPAD, because I had no other way of managing this folder in IPAD, and it was using a lot of space.

  • I just got my iphone 4s today and came home and plugged it into my itunes and restored it to my account but something is wrong it seems to have gone to the setting that I had on my iphone 4. How do I get it back to how I had it?

    I just got an iphone 4s and went to itunes to get all the stuff that I had on my last phone onto my new phone. I think that I have put all my setting for my old phone onto my new phone. My old phone being a iphone 4. Is there anyway I can get my phone back to how I got it earlier today?

    No, no one here can help you, & neither can/will Apple. Only Orange can authorize the unlocking of your phone, & typical of most carriers, they will only do so for customers using the phone on their network.
    Either establish service with Orange, then request the phone be unlocked, or sell it to someone that can use it on their network.

  • I recently got a new iPad and when synching it to my laptop I accidently clicked to replace all of my new information with the old. I had iCloud on the new one and there were many notes saved in it. How can I get them back?

    Everthing was replaced including the information under iCloud under settings. My iPad now states that I do not have my iCloud account set up on my iPad as on the old one I did not.

    Go to Settings>iCloud and set up the iCloud account you were using before by singing in with the same Apple ID.  Then turn the data you were syncing with your iCloud account back to On, and if prompted, choose merge.

  • I have saved my bookmarks & history onto my memory stick. Now...how do I load them back into Firefox FROM my memory stick??

    '''I dont know what else I can say. The q is self IS self explanatory.'''

    Hardly self-explanatory because you did not explain what you did, what you have and what your intent is. There are a lot of things that you might have or might have done.
    If you copy files to/from your profile, Firefox must be down. You can copy .json files from bookmarkbackups files because they are not active.
