Thanks for your response.
I had tried COMMAND+ALT+R which led me to directly to INTERNET RECOVERY via wifi. After 1 hour or so it dropped me at the same point.
I've tried MIGRANT ASSISTANCE as well, it kept on LOOKING FOR OTHER COMPUTERS even though I clicked on TIME MACHINE BACK UP USING EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
so what to do now?
P.S. Guys at MacStore were so careless to even listen to me when I asked them about retrieving back up :(
Please help

    not the lion that my machine had but another one. is there anyway i can just erase everything and start over. please help

    You need to contact Apple Customer Service about purchasing replacement discs for the computer. You have posted in the PPC forum, so I assume you do not have an Intel Mac, but since you haven't stated what you have we simply don't know enough to assist you.

    Leopard.  Did a full restore from Time Machine.  Now I can't access my other internal and external drives.  I get the following error: The folder “Capture Video” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.  I have repaired permissions pn the main harddrive.  When I try too click on a disk I get the previously stated error.  I can't even open up information to see what permission/access there is.  It simply will not let me see the content.  It shows the content of my main hard drive when I have clicked the other harddrive's name.

    Solved:
    sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
    sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"

    The new machine has Mavericks which is fine. And I will leave it as is. I don’t want anything from my old machine other than 2 apps that I will need on the new one. I want to be able to install those apps that I bought from the App Store onto my new computer. I assume Apple doesn’t want me to have the apps installed on 2 machines at the same time so I wonder if just uninstalling them from my old machine will release them for re-install on the new one.

  • Formatted HD, but have backup of all the folders and files of Firefox. How can I restore everything, including plugins, bookmarks and saved settings?

    I have formatted my computer's HD because of a problem with Windows 7, the thing is that Windows 7 didn't start, so I couldn't backup my Firefox settings, bookmarks, plugins, themes, personas and etc. the right way.
    I also don't have a Firefox Sync account.
    What I do have are all the folders and files of Firefox, because I just created a new partition and installed Windows 7 again, what I'm having trouble is finding a way (if there's any) to restore everything from my previous installation to the new one.
    I have searched for days on both Google and on te Firefox forum with no success, the only questions I found are about restoring a profile, but what I'm trying to do is the same thing that the Firefox add-on " FEBE " does, which is restoring everything to the previous configuration.
    Here's alink to the add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/febe/
    I have tried copying, pasting and overwritting from the " .default " folder to my new installation of Firefox (yes, Firefox was closed), but when I opened it again, nothing was restored.
    I every single folder and file Firefox ever created on my computer, this includes the installation folder (at Program Files), the profile (.default at AppData) folder, the Mozilla folder (ProgramData) and the Mozilla Firefox folder (also at AppData).
    I also had the FEBE add-on installed, but like stated before, unfortunately I couldn't start Windows 7, forcing me to create a new partition to install a new copy of the OS.
    Thanks in advance.
    PS. Sorry if I made the text too long and/or if I mentioned the same things twice, just trying to be thorough.

    Hi Sdarts,
    I apologize for the delay in replying to your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are having issues restoring your Firefox user data.
    Please see the following article, which explains how to restore your Firefox user data using a previously backed up Profiles folder, which seems to apply to your situation:

  • IMovie deleted itself!  No time machine active.  How can I retrieve it?

    I removed iMovie from the dock.  It was not in the applications folder anymore.  I was not running time machine when this happened.  How do I retrieve it without having to spend $15 on a new iMovie?

    Removing iMovie from the dock should not delete it from the Applications folder. However, if you delete it from the Launchpad, it will delete it from the Applications folder.
    If you have a retail copy of iLife 11, you can reinstall from DVD.
    If you bought iMovie from the Mac App Store, you can open the Mac App Store, make sure you are signed in with your Apple ID, and find it in your installed apps. You can download it from there.

  • External hd that I used for data died... it is backed up on time machine... how do I restore all my data from time machine to a new external hd?

    I installed the Lion OS this weekend. After Spotlight tried to index my external hard drive (that I use to store all my data), the external hard drive died. I expected that to happen at some point. The hard drive was an old FireWire 400 LaCie that I had working with my 2009 iMac (FireWire 800) by using an adaptor cable.
    My Time Machine backs up both my Macintosh (internal) HD and my external data HD. I know I need to buy a new external drive to use to store my data.
    But, then what? How do I get all the content from the backups of the old external (data) HD to the new one?

    Another one that Apple doesn't make obvious.

    I was doing that and I wanted something on Sept 18 and I shut it off on 8/20 and never turned it back on. So that will work but you have to remember to turn it it. There should almmost be an option somewhere to check that when the system goes to sleep, turn on Time Machine. All my PC back-up stuff has that option. Surprised TM doesn't. If raising the memory will do it it seems to cheap enough. Will that help you think. And I did just reboot my machine yesrday so it is pretty clean:).

  • My iphone 5 has been deleting my calendar. This is the third time- now it deletes my contacts, notes and reminders as well. Why is it doing this, and how can I restore everything?

    My iPhone 5s has been deleting my calendar. First time, just the calendar, then next time the calendar and contacts, then yesterday, calendar, contacts, notes and reminders. The phone is only 6 months old or so and is on iOS 7.1.2 (although I need to update it- but have to do some storage management first...)
    I have looked at my calendar in my icloud account and it is a week or so out of date, even though it supposedly backed up from my phone on Friday. I am becoming very frustrated by this. Am I doing something wrong? Advice would be much appreciated. In the past I have deleted my icloud account from my phone and then re-signed in, as well as sharing my calendar with myself to restore it, and it works eventually.

    Sorry I misstyped- it is an iphone 4s.

  • I tried to restore my iTunes with a previous version on my time machine, but now I can't even open iTunes?

    The iTunes icon in my dock and my Applications folder doesn't look like iTunes anymore.  It won't open or even give me an error message.

    Just guessing here.....I wonder if iTunes would be seen as an older version by the SoftWare Updater?....if so perhaps just updating via S.U. might get you going.....

  • I have more than 300 CDs I downloaded into my computer which went to my iTunes library and have purchased hundreds of songs through iTunes store and can no longer access these songs. How can I restore my music so I can play it?

    I have more than 300 CDs that I have downloaded to my computer and have purchased hundreds of songs from the iTunes store on my Mac. I cannot play any of this music now. How can I restore my iTunes library? I can see the music files, but they will not play. The message I get is that the file cannot be found. I have stopped purchasing any music from iTunes, and will not do so in the future unless this can be resolved. Why buy music if in the future you can't play it? I have not connected my ipod to my computer for months because of concerns that my music will disappear from there too.

    What you see in iTunes is not the music but a pointer to the file that contains the music.  Somehow these pointers have become broken. You may have accidentally deleted the file, or moved a folder, or moved a file, or renamed a folder, or renamed a file, or...  iTunes is very unforgiving of you doing things to the iTunes folder unless you have it set so iTunes does not manage your music for you (in which case you really need to know how iTunes works)
    If all your links are broken, or a large number are, then there are various options, none of them easy (unless you're lucky).  One is when it asks you if you want to find the file that you say yes and then guide it to the file (which will probably be in a folder by artist, and then a folder by album name). Gets old fast if you have 300 CDs.  Another is to undo what may have caused the links to become broken, if you can remember what it was that you might have done such as renaming a folder.  Another is to just forget about your old library, ratings, and playlists, etc. and start afresh. Trash the library file in your iTunes folder, start iTunes with a blank library, then drag all your files to the new library.   Another is to restore itunes from a backup you may have made before this happened.
    Do you keep just media on an external drive?  If you start iTunes without the external being switched on then it thinks the links are bad.  Quit iTunes and start the external before restarting iTunes.  You may have to scroll down through the tracks to "tickle" them into re-reading the link.
    How do you have itunes set in preferences to manage your music?  Have you done any changes to preferences recently, or moving folders, files, etc?  Do you keep iTunes on an internal drive, or external?
    In the many years of people complaining about broken links I don't think any way has been developed to mend them automatically.  I saw one attempt to use Spotlight, but it didn't really work.
    None of us work for Apple so it's up to you if you won't buy from them until it is fixed. We will try to help you fix it, because we're nice.

    Mac book pro stops responding after Maverick OS restart. Currently have a circle with a line through it after 20+ hours. Tried to shut it down and use the Time Machine to restore but no response. How can I restore with Time Machine if it will not start?

    sonjadg,
    you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit. If Startup Manager is only showing an OS X Installer volume, then it sounds like the Mavericks installer had a problem midway through its installation process. To fix this, you’re going to need to erase your internal disk and reïnstall your original version of OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD, use Software Update  to get it back to 10.6.8 (presuming that your MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard), and then restore from Time Machine.
