I've made a huge mistake

i just flattened and reinstalled osx and upon trying to reinstall logic i failed due to a trashed install disk. what should i do?? that is the only one that is ruined! i don't even know how i managed to not put away that very important cd.
will apple help? someone give me a disk image?

The Logic install disk is a 7GB DVD. No one is going to give you a disk image. If you're being honest about your situation, then you better call Apple and see what they can do for you.

Have I made a huge mistake ordering this??

I'm hoping there are a whole host of people who have ordered and had installed Infinity and get something like the service that is promised.. yet all I seem to be able to find here are people complaining about things, and a lack of replies from BT offering any explanations.
I've just ordered Option 2.. and the order has gone through and will move my line and broadband from O2 all on the same day (15th Feb). I've read the stories of no one turning up, and I know people at work who've been given the run around as well, so now I am wondering if I've made a huge mistake in my desire to have anything like the suggested speeds that I can get (38Mb Down/10Mb Up). The cabinet is about 100yrds from my house, so would hope to get at least half of that.
Anyone out there who can maybe say things MIGHT go well?

Hi Matt.
Probably 99.999% of Infinity customers have had the service promised, but as they have not had any problem they have had no need to come here and complain.
All forums have people complaining about things, that is the nature of forums(to aid people into sorting out problems)
As for the speeds, remember they could be going up soon, and as you are only 100yds away from the cabinet you should actually get more than the 38Mb they say. They normally err on the cautious side.

You can try data recovery software, like Stellar Phoenix. That may (or may not) recover some or (probably not) all of them. Any that cannot be recovered have probably been overwritten and are gone for good.
Note that you should not do anything further with the machine until you have the data recovery software, and should not install said software on the machine, since that may overwrite the data you're trying to recover. You'll want to have some other drive you can boot from and use the recovery software from.

Made a huge mistake....bought two separate copies of Tiger OSX.

I lost one copy of Tiger OSX. So instead of calling apple care, I bought another copy. When I did the install, I changed my username. I had no clue it would affect my IDISk forever.
Now when I am trying to save to IDisk, it asks for the password for my computer and it is never correct, and I cannot access IDisk. The Sync still works, but I don't know how to get my IDisc to work anymore.
The problem is in kysync frameworks but I am afraid to just delete files without knowing what I am deleting.
So, my IDisk doesn't work and webdav says my password is always wrong.
Also, I have two IDisk Icons on my screen.
What can I do to make my iDisk work again?

I have had the same username for Dot Mac account since I got my computer.....and I did an erase and reinstall using the original username I had before I bought the second disc and installed it......I know it's complicated.....but I don't remember the password for the second Tiger Disc.
If that's the case, and the passwords are only for Idisk, I can't recover it. All I know is that I cannot use my iDisc anymore for a year.
Tech support at the apple store said they didn't know how to fix it.
I just wish I had my iDisc.
I know the answer is somewhere in kysync in Frameworks in the plist probably.
Oh well......I guess I just have to do backups with discs instead, but what a hassle.
Thanks for your suggestion, however.

I need help made a huge mistake today.

so I decided to tackle my med collections since they are willing to pfd. 4400 bucks worth. This would rid me of 6 of my 9 baddies. Put on credit card and realized after the fact....oh crap this credit card has an interest rate like 20 percent. So I'm curious what my best choice would be? Balance transfer? If so what is the best card for balance transfer? currently have discover it 7500 cl 4400 bal (the one I used today)chase slate 5200 cl 0 balcap1qs10000 cl 2400 bal any suggestions are appreciated TIA

I did that on my high amex balance today. Discover gave me a new `12 month 0 percent on BT., even though im on a promo. 14 months no 0. for purchases and BT. so after that run out. i will still have 8 months of 0. so i really have a year to pay off all my balances. about 3300 in total. 250 a month should about cover it. i just took card out of wallet. no more use for this puppy until 12 months.

"I've made a huge mistake." The laments of a new mac pro and ridiculously slow AE renders

I just purchased the late 2013 model of the Mac Pro with the following specs:
Processor: 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
Memory: 12 GB
Graphics: AMD FirePro D700
It barely squeaks out a faster render than my early 2008 Mac Pro (which has the following specs):
Processor: 2 x 3.2 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 16 GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
I obviously did NOT configure my new Mac Pro with the best features for AE CC. I still have time to return the machine, and try again. I would appreciate advice from someone who can ID where I went wrong - and direct me toward a machine that will churn out faster renders. Thanks so much!

Sorry, I'm out of the loop on the newer chipsets so would have to defer to others in that respect. There's a lot of reading to be done on multicore rendering in after effects; but you're best off running some test renders to see if its helping or hindering your comps and then base your decision for number of cores vs core speed on that. Either way multicore rendering does require a lot of RAM. You should be getting OK render speeds if you're not using the ray trace renderer, certainly should beat out the old box, that might be something to look into.
I can't advise using those thunderbolt pcie chasis to add an nvidia card to the new mac pro trash can; the sonnet ones we bought have been finicky with our AJA cards and I can only imagine a full graphics card under load being worse performance wise.
I built my hack a few years back on an ivy bridge i7 with 32 GB of ram. They have some newer guides for hardware choices and methods at http://www.tonymacx86.com/home.php
Although my build has been extremely stable, I will caution that putting together a hackintosh can be quite a pain even if you're an experienced system builder / knowledgable with *nix. If Windows is an option that can be considered, I've heard good things about the HP Z series workstations but Quadro cards seem overpriced IMO compared to the Geforce series for the cuda cores / ram size (though purists will surely encourage you not to go the budget route).

I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"?

I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"? I have back up in the past but the last month I have not. I really want to keep the data.
So how can I go in and change the setting, It stays ofcourse at the apple screen with wheel. All info is there and the computer works fine, just cannot use it or have been able to log in.

wjosten is spot on. If you really want iCloud, then you will need to acquire a new or second hand MBP that can run Lion.

IPhoto made a huge mess, how to clean up files on HD???

I have thousands of photos in iPhoto v6.0.6, and it has somehow made a huge frustrating mess of things. Some preliminary information:
• My preference is set to "Copy photos to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library."
• Under the main "Library" heading, I have five categories with the little yellow calendar icon: "Early Photos," "2007," "2008," "2009," "2010." I am under the impression that when adding/removing photos to an album, I am simply creating/removing links to the photos within these main categories. Therefore, I was assuming that if I delete the photos from these categories, they will disappear for good within the main Libraries as well as within individual Albums.
Earlier this evening I attempted to delete a bunch of photos which I don't want anymore... I want to get rid of these photos in iPhoto, but I would like to delete them from the hard drive as well. I went into each of the 5 categories under the main Library heading, and selected hundreds of photos to delete. After highlighting the photos I wanted to delete, I pressed Command-Delete on my keyboard (which, in the Photo menu, says it should move the photos to the trash). I assumed this meant it would move the physical files to the Finder's Trash. After deleting photos from the individual categories, I went into my Finder's Trash, and there was nothing there. So I noticed there is also a "Trash" section at the bottom of the left-hand pane within iPhoto (very confusing). All of my deleted photos were in there. So I selected them again, and pressed Command-Delete. All photos disappeared without a trace within iPhoto.
So far, so good.... My HUGE problem is that none of these photos were actually deleted from the hard drive!! I went into my home folder/Pictures/iPhoto Library/etc/etc/Camera Roll #x, and ALL of the photos I attempted to delete still reside on my hard drive as if they're still being managed by iPhoto!
I'll be honest... I have plenty of time to manually go through dozens of folders in the Finder and look for all of these photos a second time and delete them. However I'm simply not willing to waste time doing that when I thought I had already accomplished that task by selected "Move To Trash" from within iPhoto, and then emptying the trash. I'll just ditch iPhoto altogether if I can't fix this.
My questions: a) How can I get iPhoto to actually delete a photo when I tell it to (including thumbnails)? b) How can I clean up my hard drive automatically so that the only photos within the iPhoto Library folder (in the Finder) are those which still reside within iPhoto? c) How do I prevent this mess from happening again? d) If anyone from Apple is monitoring this forum, when will this major flaw in the user experience be fixed?

1 - it is a really good idea to post in the appropriate forum - you apparently posted an iPhoto 6 question in the iPhoto '09 forum - in this case the answer is the same for the questions you ask
a) How can I get iPhoto to actually delete a photo when I tell it to (including thumbnails)?
Select the photo(s) in roll view and drag to the iPhoto trash or press the delete key - empty the iPhoto trash from the iPhoto menu ==> empty trash - do this in batches of 100 or less photos
b) How can I clean up my hard drive automatically so that the only photos within the iPhoto Library folder (in the Finder) are those which still reside within iPhoto?
I'm not sure what happened and no longer have iPhoto 6 to test - one thing to try is backing up your library and rebuilding the library (depress the option and command keys and launch iPhoto)
c) How do I prevent this mess from happening again?
Delete as above in answer to a)
d) If anyone from Apple is monitoring this forum, when will this major flaw in the user experience be fixed?
SInce this is strictly a user to user forum and Apple specifically does not monitor nor answer here do not expect an answer from Apple
Also NEVER use the finder to make any changes to the contents or structure of the iPhoto library - doing so may corrupt your library and cause data loss

I made the fatal mistake of allowing iCloud to handle my @mac mail account.
I had set this address up with aliases and never had a problem.
Ever since iCloud has been handling it I have had problems.
It seams impossible to claim my account back from iCloud. How can it be achieved or has Apple set a booby trap?

iCloud is the successor to MobileMe. MobileMe shuts down forever tomoorrow.
If you only want to use the email portion of your previous MobileMe account you can. You do not have to use all the other features of iCloud, just like you didn't have to use all the other features of MobileMe.
The email account has not really changed at all. Just the server address it comes from.
The sending emails problem you are having, is this on your Mac in Mail, in webmail at iCloud.com or on your iOS device?
When it doesn't succeed in sending, what does it do? Any error message?
What mail server settings are you using in Mail? What version of Mac OS X are you using?

I made a big mistake. I downloaded a Windows version of Adobe Acrobat for my Mac. Is there any way to get that changed?

I made a big mistake. I paid almost $500 for Adobe Acrobat and realized the whole time I was paying for a Windows version of the software. Is there any way I can change the software without having to buy a new license for the program?

Upgraded Macbook Made a HUGE Difference

Hello- Just to share some of the love'in....
I had to switch from using a MacPro (1st gen model) back to my 13" '08 Macbook as my full time machine. I originally switched to the MacPro because I found myself waiting a lot for my 13" MB. So I thought I'd upgrade and see if it made a difference... WOW! It made a huge difference. I was really amazed. Here were the upgrades:
- Added a fast 7200rpm 320GB drive (WD Black: $55)
- Upgraded from 4GB to 6GB of Ram (I know, not supported, but works great for ~$50)
That's it. XBench score is 157 and my MacPro was 163. Couldn't believe how much faster it felt.
Only downside is that there is a slight "whipser" from the new hard drive (really quiet). Haven't noticed any heat change or battery difference.
Hope this helps.

Hi Scott Cropper-
Thanks for sharing.
It reinforces the advice that we always give folks trying to run with 512MB.
