About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

I have updated my mac book pro and am trying to get icloud and the new lion version. The lion version will not download and my biggest problem is finding icloud on my system preference. Can anyone help me?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files -
I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done. When I disconnected it from my computer the ipad went blank then the apple logo appeared midscreen with an elongated oval across the screen under it. Now nothing on the ipad works. I think it was backed up on my computer but I can't find anything that will allow me to sync the two or regain functionality on my ipad. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I would put the ipad in recovery mode and redo the update, once that is done you could restore the ipad from your backup and you would not lose any data.

i'm downloading the OS X Mavericks then in the process of downloading till 4.20GB it stops and shut down my Mac Book Pro and automatically restarted. Any answers for this?
The download is over 5GB's so yours is incomplete.
You should be able to resume the download (instead of starting over) at the App Store. -

Question typed in subject space. Sorry!
Hi there Amy,
You may want to take a look at the article titled "Troubleshooting Mac OS X installation and software updates (Mac OS X v10.6 and earlier)"
There is a specific section that includes this information:
Software Updates for Mac OS X and Apple applications for Mac OS X are often available in different ways:
Software Update preferences
Standalone installer from Apple Downloads.
Try getting the software from a different source, or download it again.
Hope that helps,

I recently updated my Mac book and Itunes and Mail have stop responding.
iTunes work fine till I connect my Iphone. The moment I connect my iphone it stops responding. I have reset my phone couple of times already and have re-install iTunes few times. Does anyone have any other suggestion on it?
Mail will never Quit. It will get my new mails or send them when I start it but after five mins or so it will stop responding at all.
Please let me know if anyone is facing similar problem.You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Bought new battery for Mac Book Pro and it won't charge/hold charge...HELP!
My MBP has been running solely on power adapter for months, I finally bought a replacement battery for my MBP 15" and installed it to charge yesterday. The light on my adapter never turned green. And when I went to unplug it, it immediately powered down, even thought it showed 15% power on the screen. When I press the silver button on the battery all five light up green. What am I doing wrong here?? Also, even if the new battery is in the computer and my power adapter is in the computer still powers down. What next??
I hope the warranty on your junk battery will be honored. You wouldn't be the first person to be victimized by the sellers of such junk batteries, many of whom have failed to honor their so-called warranties or been completely untraceable when push came to shove.

I was installing snow leopard to my Mac and it took forever then I tried to get the Disc out and it did but the screen went completely white and isn't working at all now. Is there a way to fix this.?
Which version of Mac OS X do you have?<br />
Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/
If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

I am trying to update my Mac Book Pro and every time I try and update it and sign in my apple ID it says that its the wrong password, I had reset my apple ID and everything. It still won't work and I want to update my computer, Thank You
When you say update, do you mean upgrade to newer OS X, or update the currently installed OS X?
Which OS X is installled now?
Click the Apple top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click: About this Mac.
Which version does it say? -

Anyone have an issue with spilling liquid on the Mac Book Pro and it won't turn on now?
A liquid was accidentally spilled on the Mac Book Pro and although it didn't appear that much liquid spilled on the computer, it will not start up now. Anyone have an issue like this? Also, the charger will not light up.
Liquids have no place on a MacBook Pro. Even a little bit is going to damage it. Depending on the type of liquid (pure 100% alcohol the best, since it's volatile and non oxidative), the damage is probably permanent. If it's just water, let it dry, and see what happens. If it's something with sugar or salts in it, then you're probably in trouble, because even if they do dry out, the moisture in the air of place like South Florida will hydrate the dried up salts, creating conductive pathways shorting out your computer over and over again.
You can take it to an authorize Apple dealer or Apple itself for repair. There is no warranty coverage. And the cost will probably exceed that of a new MacBook Pro, depending on the age of yours.
