Just had a new hardrive installed, now flashing blue start up screen wont turn on
Everything was fine. I had just picked up my mac, it had been wiped unfortunately. I got everything reinstalled, happy as a clam. Stupidly I didnt have my back up yet from the store, external drive. I was messing around with my customization, I installed opaque menubar, a custom log in screen and then I went into my system and replaced sart.bin file with one to replace my apple symbol with the classic rainbow. Unfortunately the file I replaced it with is probably not right. It ended in a c something. Instantly after I hit restart, it went to the blue screen with the loading symbol, flashing back and forth between blue and green blue. Im wondering if it has to do with the login screen change of appearance, the sartfile or if that when I picked up my mac and the apple genius guy turned it on, it made a loud beep and he had to take it back and take out the memory. What would cause this? When I go to utilities to verify and repair, it tells me nothing is wrong with my disk. Which makes me scared because I already spent 300 dollars to repair this computer and just reinstalled everything. I was in tears over the aggrivation. If anyone can shed some light on this and some clue what this is a sign of.
Again. On start up, it shows the white screen, apple symbol, loads then goes to the blue screen and flashes two shades of blue with a loading symbol. Any feedback will help me immensly

Am I missing something in preferences?I would not even try to fix it after getting the logic board replaced. I would take it back to who ever replaced it and tell them it is not working properly.

I just had a new hard disc installed and now the LBP0000 canon printer does not work saying it can't connect to CCPD...connection refused! pls help!!?
You need to reinstall the printer driver, and set up the printer on the new hard drive.
The Canon site should have the driver. Download it and install.
Then go to Apple menu / System Preferences / Print & Fax and click the + (plus sign) and follow the directions. -
My Macbook pro has just had a new 500gb hard drive in it and osx snow leopard had not been put on it because i never got a disk when i bought it. It still comes up with the grey screen with the flashing folder which i think would be normal because there is nothing on the hard drive. How do i install OSX Snow Leopard back on it the cheapest way possible?
ThanksYou might be in a bind. While is is normal for new Macs that shipped with Lion to omit a system installation DVD, yours was running Snow Leopard. Apple included a system installation CD or DVD for every computer that shipped with every computer through Snow Leopard. Lion was installed on every machine built starting about August 2011, ending the DVD era.
Apparently your computer had been sitting in someone's inventory for a while, but that's no excuse for them to have removed the DVD from its box.
Try booting Lion Internet Recovery. Read this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
I suspect Lion Recovery may not work since "your computer's eligibility for Lion will be verified with Apple" and you appear not to have purchased it.
Please let me know what happens when you attempt to boot Lion Recovery. -
I just had a new hard drive installed on my iMac
i just had a new hard drive installed on my iMac (due to the Seagate replacement program) i was able to migrate my back up(i think) but its now acting like a new computer and i can't get past the registration screen. I filled everything out but the "continue" button won't highlight and let me cxontinue.
Ah the mac wants to play games..
Ok, You should be able to click on continue twice so to skip it.
What version is the OS you restored? Or did you just perform Migration Assistant on it? -
My MacBook Pro just had a new memory and solid state drive installed. Since the installation, the Lightroom tools are now all grey. Even the color sliders are grey. Please help!
My guess is that your operating system got updated to Mavericks and that you are running an old version of Lightroom:
Sliders are white, look different | Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Be aware of a Lightroom bug with color management in mavericks that makes shadows too deep in the Develop module: Jao's photo blog: Serious color management bug in Mac OS 10.9 "Mavericks" and Jao's photo blog: Further quantification of the Mavericks color management problem. -
I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive. What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?
If the entire library is on the external drive then simply copy the iTunes folder into <User's Music> on the new computer, then install iTunes. If you've already installed iTunes you will want to remove the empty iTunes folder in <User's Music> first.
If it turns out you only have the media folder on the external drive then take a look at this post...

i just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?
Maybe. What kind of other computer are you talking about? What operating system is it running? What kind of wireless router are you using?
Your best bet may be to just reset the router and set it up again.
Just so you know, WEP is a very old security system for wireless and is considered insecure. If you have it available, use WPA2. -
I just downloaded the new itunes update, now I can't copying TV shows purchased from the library to my backup computer, it says the files are invisible. Never had any problem doing it until the update. I have a Mac Pro G5 OS 10.6.8. The desktop hidden files app doesn't reveal the TV shows.
found a solution in a different discussion.. thank god.

Just had itunes 11.1 installed. Now I cannot sync my iPod Shulle 2G. What do I do?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back. -
Hello, I have an Apple Mac Pro Laptop. It is an older machine but I just had the Apple Store install a new hard drive with OSX 10.6.8. It runs great but I need to load software. Will it run CS4 Design Standard? Or, will I need CS5. This machine can't run 10.7.
Hi There,
As per CS5.5 Design Standard release notes it can run on 10.6.8.
Kindly try to install in and share the results so that we can assist you if needed.
Please find the download link in my previous post.

I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and did a migration of the content of the old laptop (also a Mac Book Pro) to the new one. Now I cannot start Photoshop CS6. When I am starting it I have a window "Adobe photoshop CS6 extended" opening requesting a connexion. When I am entering my password for the connexion the software crashes. How can I fix the problem?
Migrating, transferring or copying is DEMANDING trouble, not just asking for it.
Always install from scratch, from the original media, -
