I just cant reload the Mac OS

I just reformatted the hard drive to FAT 32 re-installed it. Put in the mac os disc and the mac goes to a black screen and does nothing after a few minutes. Please help me!

Exactly what do you think you would gain by formatting the disk as FAT32?

    If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when connected - not available under Devices in the iTunes source list, check this link.

    For voice memos, I have include voice memos when syncing selected under the Music tab for my iPhone sync preferences with iTunes which transfers voice memos from my iPhone to my iTunes library when syncing.

  • Reloading the MAC OS - my drives and data

    I need to reload my MAC OS on my 2006 Mac Pro.  It is my understanding that I need to unplug the other internal drives and just have the main drive plugged in.  When I get done with the eload will the new OS load recognize my other internal drives after I plug them back in and will it see my data?  I cannot loose my data and have no Timeline backup.  I have tried the timeline backup but it does not seem to be working, this is one reason I think reloading will help.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    You should be using 10.6.8+ or Lion. TimeMachine works fine. Might want to start with a new drive for that. I use WD Green 1.5TB and have two sets (I swap after a month).
    Clone your system with CCC, never needed to start fresh except with a new OS.
    TimeMachine has improved since it came out (10.5.0 / Sept/Oct 2007).
    You don't need to remove drives when you install the OS, unless  you think you need to.
    I would not be using t he system until you have two backup sets for all your data. TimeMachine, and then clone each drive (you can take a large drive, partition it and possibly have one partition volume for each of your drives in a pinch). External backups are also good to have along with using one drive bay or something for TimeMachine.
    And always have one backup set unplugged and off line, so you don't have a failure and lose one good backup.
    And yes I have 1,1 which is now over 7 yrs old going strong with SSDs for system and another for graphic files, WD Black for data, and the Green drive I mentioned.

  • Where is the app I just bought from the Mac App Store?

    Hello there!!
    My name is Dani G. I use the Pixelmator app a lot to make book covers, banners, story ads, and some other graphics for people on Wattpad, and I always use Pixelmator. When my 30-day-trial ended, I bought it from the App Store with my App Store gift card, and my money even showed that I bought it.
    But when I installed it to my Mac, it just showed that it was downloading, then the app would disappear from my dock. I stared, shocked, so I tried looking for it in my Finder. I couldn't find it anywhere, and I kept trying to install it again and again.
    I even deleted the old Pixelmator trial app I had, and it still wouldn't show up.
    Whys is this happening and how can I find my purchase on my computer to start using it?

    Try purchasing a free app from the Mac App Store and see what happens. Essentially it needs access to the Applications folder, so if you have experienced any permission issues with that folder, you may want to consider running Disk Utility and repairing the permissions for Macintosh HD.
    If you think it's Dock-related, try dragging another item to your dock...either another application from Applications, or a folder right next to the Trash (NOT in the Trash).
    Start with the basics, restart the iMac and check your Purchases in the MAS to see if Pixelmator is listed.

  • I cant open the mac app store from my imac. it says "open itunes please wait" but never opens..

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
    If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
    Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application

  • HT1338 I cant find the mac app store on my mac book pro w/ snow leopard

    I just bought an older MacBook Pro and updated the operating system to Snow Leopard. I can not find the Mac App Store and I do not see any way to download it off of Apple.com. Does anyone know how to get this application?

    Run the Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer combo updater, either from Apple's website or through Software Update.

  • I have a 13in MacBook Pro from mid 2010, the hard drive failed or s i thought, I put a new one in and it didn't work, so I put those 2 hard drives in a friends Mac and they worked just fine. The Mac still turns on but won't discover the drive

    The Mac turns on, says it can't see the drive. Any ideas as to what is causing this, I'm thinking its the cable, are these easy to come buy? And would this even be the answer?

    Yes it is the Cable. Replace it and you will be Good To Go.

  • Is synching necessary - just streaming from the Mac?

    I have a music library which exceeds 1TB and over 200GB of pictures, but my first generation ATV has definitely much less storage space. My question: Can I stream content directly from my Mac, or am I really forced to download the fraction of content that I want to use to the ATV? If I can stream directly from my Mac, how does this work? I didn't find any setting in iTunes or the ATV settings menu. Thanks!

    Like said,
    Absolutely, but streaming photos wirelessly might be slow. If you can Ethernet it, you'll be laughing. Gigabit Ethernet and you'll be in stitches.
    So just how do you get 1TB of music ? that's about half a million dollars worth of CD's.
    And 200GB of photos ? Even with all the high resolution photos I've taken all over the world, I've only got about 40GB. Too many for iPhoto, and streaming.

  • I purchased the Desolation of Smaug Extended Version. I can not find the Extra/making of content. How do i find and download it. The movie downloaded fine. I just cant find the additional videos.

    Cant location additional content for my Desolation of Smaug purchase. Video downloaded fine.

    Now they are saying that only movies purchased before July 10, 2014, can you download the Extras content. ***?
    And i only found this after searching the web for the last 3 hours.
    So if you want to watch the extras, you have to have an internet connection and stream it.
    What about if i don't have an WIFI connection and want to watch on a plane or a car ride. What is the point of buying a movie to enjoy if you can only do that based on a wifi connection.
    No where on the films page, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (Extended Edition), does it say extra content is only streamable. It only says "This HD purchase "INCLUDES" online access to iTunes Extras" - It does not say limited to. This is very misleading.
    I would not have bought the film if i had know that. In fact, the only reason i bought this was for the extras because the other Hobbit and LOTR movie extended editions have been so awesome on the making of the film.....
    This is bogus. I want my money back so i can buy the Blu Ray. At least then i can take it and watch whenever i like... not just when i am connected to WIFI.

  • Should be an easy one, just cant find the solution.

    When I try to logon to a remote computer on the local network, rather than gain control of the machine I get a Padlock appear on the screen and I am unable to control it. Remote desktop remotes that the computer is on the Login window, but this is not the case.
    Your help would be appreciated.
    Ali

    That wasn't the case. Even though ARD "locked" the screen that I was trying to view, when I physically went to the computer it was still showing the desktop as normal. I did however change a few settings, including deselecting the box that said "anyone may request permission" and deleting the registered users list (even though Allow access for all users was selected. One or both of these changes appear to have solved the problem.

  • When I try to print coupons, I get a message that the coupon printer plugin has crashed. I've tried following the instructions for when the Adobe Flash plugin crashes, but reloading the page does not work. Just sits there for 5 minutes doing nothing.

    Happens when going to print.coupons.com. I click the "learn more" button on the message that the plugin has crashed, and I get sent to the Adobe Flash plugin crash info page on Firefox. They say just to reload the page. There is a button for this. I click it and the page tries to reload for 5 minutes before freezing.
