Hello sallay Amir,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you would like to erase your MacBook Pro and install a new copy of OS X, but the Mac does not boot to OS X Recovery when you hold the Command + R keys during startup.
If your Mac came with OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) or earlier, I recommend referring to the steps in this article:
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install - Apple Support
For a newer Mac (OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite), try reinstalling OS X by using Internet Recovery, as described in the "OS X Internet Recovery" section on this page:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my email. I can't seem to purchase this on-line

The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my emails. I can't seem to purchase this on-line as it keeps telling me to go to the app store. I haven't got the app store on my computer as I am told I need iCloud for which I need the new operating system, which I can't download or purchase as I am sent back to an instruction telling mee to go to the app store icon.
How difficult can it be to simply purchase the software on-line have it shipped to you so you can install it, in the event it cannot be downloaded as it appears it can't be based on my curent operating systems being Mac OSX 10.5.8.

Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.

I've tried to purchase Mountain Lion but when I click 'buy' I get the message, "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." I'm using an iMac with Lion OS on it, Why is it incompatible?

HT4041 Why pages don't give me the word option?

Why pages don't give me the word option?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

I had facetime and I have mountain lion. However, after an update facetime disappeared. Doesn't it come with mountain lion? What do I need to do to find facetime? Do I need to repurchase it?

HT4528 With IOS 7 I had to move my photos and videos off to a backup to install the IOS. When they moved back to the phone during a sync I have no way to delete them. The trashcan stays grayed out and the usage page doesn't give me a delete option.

I got the message that IOS 7 was ready to download. I wish I had read the reviews on it first. I had to move my photos and videos off the phone to free up memory space for the install. I was still able to see the phone with a file browser and grabbed the photos and videos and stored them in a directory on my hard drive. Meanwhile my itunes updated too. So with my files moved and deleted from the phone I made a backup of the phone. I installed the ios 7. When I synced the itunes moved my backup directories back to the phone. I can't figure out how to remove them from the phone. Under photos they have installed themselves with the names iphone09282013 and videos directories. When I access them I don't get a delete option. The trashcan is greyed out. The settings usage page no longer gives me the swipe delete function. How do I remove these files to free up space now that I have them saved to my computer?

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,
Mario

I've bought Mountain Lion but my iMac's HD isn't the correct format (Mac OS Extended(Journaled) instead of GUID partition what do I do?

Can I just back up to Time machine, then reformat disk then re down load?

As mende1 stated, the two are different and must be both.
If you open Disk Utility and select the hard drive (the type, size, and serial number), not the volume (Macintosh HD), it will tell you at the bottom of the screen what the Partition Table is. It should be GUID. If not, then you will need to back it up, then repartition the drive. Also, copy the Mountain Lion installer onto another drive so you don't have to download again. It is in the Applications folder.
There are a few methods to get back where you are, including wipe, install old OS, restore from TM, install ML.
You might search the web for a tutorial on creating a boot/install disk using the Mountain Lion installer.
Another easy way is to use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to clone your current OS onto another drive. Then, boot using the external you cloned. Use Disk Utility to re-partition the internal drive as noted below, then Clone your current OS back to the internal. Then, use the installer you tucked away to reinstall.
If running Snow Leopard, you need to boot using your install disk, then open Disk Utility.
If running Lion, you need to boot into the Recovery HD by holding down cmd-r on restart.
From there, open Disk Utility, select the hard drive, then the Partition tab.
Select 1 partition from the partition layout dropdown (or however you'd like, just don't use current).
Set the Name of the disk. Macintosh HD is the norm, but you can name it anything you want.
Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Click the Options Button.
Set the Partition Table to GUID Partition Table.
Back on the partition tab, click Apply.

HT1338 I have mountain lion and cant get time machine to work. the disk keeps getting ejected.

I just installed Mountain lion and i can't get time machine to work. every time i connect it time machine starts but then ejects the drive. I also tried to back up direct to the hard drive with the software that came with the drive and the same thing happens. Does anyone have a clue as to what may be wrong?

When that happens, you should get some sort of message. If you don't remember it exactly, go to the Time Machine Preferences window -- there should be a red "Failed" message and icon there. Click the icon to see the message. Either report the wording or post a screenshot.
If not, a clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.

The back button doesn' always work. Even right clicking on the page doesn't give me the option to go back and if i check the history, the page i was trying to go back to, is not listed.

I've noticed the problem yesterday and it has happened few times today again.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

How do i switch from head phone to mic? I know there is a internal mic, but when i go to system preferences then sound doesn't give me the input option.

I know there is an internal mic but i need to switch the head phone to mic. but in system preference then sound folder it does not give me the option to make the mic an imput. but when i goto about this computer it says it is compatable how do i make this happen?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have a MacBook, so your Mac hasn't got a HDMI port and you are using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
There are some Macs which do not support sound over HDMI, and it seems that your MacBook does not support it. Read > About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters

I have Mountain Lion, but in Notifications, I want to display "20 recent items". Yet when I change the settings to allow it, it still only displays 5.

Because I get a lot of emails, I kind of need to know this. I think it sounds a lot like a stupid question though.

I would do that, but Mail only displays 5 incoming messages. If I'm busy working, I might need those later on and it would be a real conveince for it to still be there.

I have a Nexus 10 and I followed your instructions on installing flash player, but I still get a "plugin is needed" . It doesn't give me the tap option

Like I mentioned above, I followed everything in the instructions but when I view the flash in apps it still says plugin is needed. I still can't view any flash program.

What is your Android version as 4.4 kitKat has some removed things that is needed by the old Flash 11.1 plugin for Android.
However Mozilla may have managed to make the Flash plugin sill work in the Android version of Firefox 29.0a1 on the unstable Nightly channel as of yesterday.
If you are willing to be tester and get updates each day. <strike>http://ftp.mozilla.org /pub/mozilla.org/ mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-android/fennec-29.0a1.multi.android-arm.apk</strike> use the Firefox 27.0 release instead.
However according to bug 935676 the next Beta build of 27.0 may have the patch also. The current 27.0b6 is from Jan 14 so it does not have it.

I running on mountain Lion but every time i enter full screen, the widgets from my dashboard appears. Any way to fix this?

it would appear something like this, for itunes, quicktime play and so on and so forth. Any way to fix this problem?

Have you tried going to System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Screensaver, and choose "Start after Never"? That turns off the screensaver. Then, under System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Desktop, choose the image you want. You can vary the sleep by playing around with System Preferences/Energy Saver, and playing around with your preferences.

Why can a person buy and/or download Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion but not Mavericks???

I am running OS X Lion on a mid 2009 MacBook Pro with 4GB of ram and a 160GB HDD. I was going to download Mavericks from the app store but waited to long. Now that Yosemite is out Mavericks has disappeared from the app store. WHY? A person can buy and/or download Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion but not Mavericks??? And the kicker is that it was FREE!!! I just wanted to load Mavericks on my MacBook Pro to see how it performs. If I could live with any slow downs or quirks, I'd leave it installed. If not, I'd roll my system back. Apple's policy of ramrodding unstable product down our throat is BS. I don't want to use Yosemite until it has become more stable!

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
