I have tried this already
What have you tried already?  OS X is multilingual and changing the language normally takes a few seconds.  You go to system preferences/language & text/language and move English to the top of the list and then logout/login.  No reinstall should be necessary.

  • I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help?

    I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????

    Prep your new drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

    Hi greg v.p44270855,
    We would love to help. What part are you having trouble with? For starters, please make sure that you're logged in as an administrator, and temporarily disable any antivirus software. If you don't have the Acrobat installer, you can download Acrobat from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
    If you're running into a particular problem with the installation, please provide some specifics about the problem (error messages, operating system and version, and so so).
    Best,

  • I want to reload the operating system

    Hi,
    My Macbook Pro has been running slow and the advice received at the Southampton Apple Store is to wipe the drive and reload the operating system.    I have just completed a full back up to my Airport Extreme/Timeport.  Thing is, I cannot remember what I am supposed to do next.  Please could anyone help me.
    I am running Lion and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion,  but was advised to do the wipe first.
    Many thanks
    Steve

    Not really the best choice, use a external storage drive and the emergency quick copy method for your user files. (not TimeMachine)
    Make sure you take note of all your programs, password and export your browser bookmarks.
    You may want to clone your present boot drive in it's entirety to another external drive first, just in case you need to boot from it to grab somethign you missed or compare.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Then follow this proceedure for Security Zero Erase and install of 10.7 on the Macintosh HD partition and reinstall OS X, programs and return files in that order.
    How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
    Reducing bad sectors effect on hard drives
    Why is my computer slow?
    Once you machine is all cleaned up and set up the way you want, then make a new bootable clone for problems like this and also if your boot drive dies, you can boot rom the clone to get online etc.

  • My CD/DVD drives quit working and I had to change Registry settings to get them to work again. Now Itunes gives me a message at startup that I need to reload iTunes.

    Both of the CD/DVD drives on my desktop computer quit working. I had to change registry settings to get them to work again and after that iTunes gives me a message on startup that I need to reload iTunes because of the change in registry settings. I'm concerned that if I reload iTunes that my drives will quit working again though I don't know why they quit working in the first place. Is there a known problem or incompatability with some drives and iTunes. What is it about the registry settings that iTunes requires my CD/DVD drives settings to work or not to work? I haven't updated my iTunes software since changing the registry setting to fix my drives.

    I've read some of the support articles about reinstalling the iTunes upper filters in the registry but I don't like the idea that iTunes seems to be saying that they are the ones that will be in control of what CD burning software that I am allowed to use on my computer. If I put the iTunes upper filters back on the computer will I not be able to use other CD burning software again? If I reload iTunes will it interfere with the use of the other software, or, if I use the other software again will I have to go back and reload iTunes or reset my registry every time. This seems to me to be a problem that iTunes should fix so that they don't interfere with other computer operations.

  • I need help reloading my OS

    I have a blackberry desktop software on my PC and when I check for updates there was none,but it wasn't for update I was going for i just wanted to reload my OS,after checking for update a message popup and there was no update avalieble but "the dialog box of View other avalieble in the lower left corner did not appear" I did the same on storm "the dialog box appears" but it did not appear on my touch9800 OS6 boundle 695,please help me I really need to reload my OS
    Solved!

    Hello!
    As a user-to-user volunteer-supported community, there is no commitment for when/if any post will be responded to. We try, but we as well are only human and also have lives to live. Further, many of us who volunteer a lot of time here are in the USA...and this past weekend (starting Thursday, earlier for some) was a major holiday period in the USA, rendering many of the volunteers busy with their lives and unable to post here. Hence, the delay in replying to your post is, while unfortunate, not unexpected. Of course, this solution has been posted perhaps thousands of times already...some searching of the site should certainly have revealed it to you sooner rather than awaiting a reply perhaps?
    In any event...concerning your query -- at the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    You can bypass the Desktop Software for this and from a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
    You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

  • Need help with 'division' operation in RTF template

    We are using variables in RTF template to perform all data manipulations
    To calculate columns where we need to do division operation, using ‘/’ or ‘DIV’ is not working.
    Using <?xdofx: op1 DIV op2?> is working only when op1 and op2 are numbers like ex. <?xdofx: 100 DIV 50?> returns result 2.
    But the same tag used for columns or variables is not working.
    For ex.
    <?xdofx: (xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'var1')) DIV xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'var2') ?> is not returning any result, though
    <?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘var1’)?>
    <?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘var2’)?>
    both are returning values stand alone.

    Hello,
    That means it can find the Hard Drive, or can't find the things needed for booting.
    See if DU even sees it.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it.

    My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it. Internet recovery asks for his Apple ID and password. He has no idea. I have an Apple ID but have never bought anything through the iTunes store so it won't accept my Apple ID. I don't know if his computer is under warranty. He does not remember if he has Applecare. I tried reinstalling Leopard -- the computer originally came with Leopard -- but the computer screen goes grey and a message comes up saying I need to restart. He wants to give this computer to me since it's useless to him. What do I do to get a system on it again?

    You will need to reformat the hard drive to go back to Snow Leopard or Leopard.
    Does he have a Snow Leopard Disk? He should, as there is no way to go from Leopard to Mountain Lion without it. If you can find the Snow Leopard Disk, I'd at least start with that.
    You will need to use Disk Utility in the installer to format the hard drive and get rid of the recovery partition.
    Boot from the installer disk by holding down the C key on restart. When it boots, Open Disk Utility (Utilities menu, at least in Snow Leopard).
    Select the Hard drive and then click the Partition tab.
    Select 1 Partition from the partition menu.
    Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format.
    Name the drive (Macintosh HD is the standard).
    Click Apply to partition the drive.
    When it is done, quit Disk Utility and install the OS.

  • I need to reload system software on G5 tower but DVD drive is dead ...

    My G5 tower won't boot. It hangs up just as the blue progress bar reaches all the way to the right. I'm sure I need to reload the system software, but the DVD drive is also on the fritz and I can't use it. I put an old G4 TiBook into target disc mode, hooked it up to the G5, held the option key down at startup and I was able to get the G5 to boot – so I'm sure the hard drive is not dead.
    Any suggestions? How can I use an apple system DVD disc and reload the software? Is there another way? I looked at some old G4s I have lying around, thinking I would pull a drive out of there and use it, but it just looked too hard to do. Is there a way to use Carbon Copy Cloner? I have free firewire drive space. Can I just copy the system file from the G4 TiBook onto the G5?
    Sorry, I can't tell you the OS, I think it's 10.4.?, but I forget!

    reboot the G5 from the Ti target disk, slip the DVD in when you hit the desktop, tell it to reboot from the DVD - open the install OS X icon from the disc, enter pw & click restart.
    another thing you might try is imaging the dvd to a firewire drive or partition on the Ti book... backup the tibook first if you resort to that.
