I installed XP @Bootcamp, I cant access my Mac HDD via XP..
What I do??? Please help me.. please...

You can try DiskWarrior (about $100).
If that doesn't work, and if you have no backups at all, you might need to send your hard drive to Drive Savers or a similar service. It will cost a lot of money to get the data back, I'm sorry to say.

I know this has been solved as you reported, but I think you need to check with your e-mail provider. Did you also get this same e-mail on your computer? If you use the same ID for e-mail on computer and ipad, it should have appeared on both. It's very common spam. Check your computer to see if on it, the e-mail is in spam, or, if you deleted it on your ipad, check your recently deleted e-mails.
You might want to consider changing your password, though people sending spam, don't need it. My e-mail provider had me change my password, not because I was getting spam, but unknown to me, I was sending it! (You'll still get some spam, though.) It's when you learn that you're unknowingly sending spam...that you must change your password.
Hope this helps.
(Ss I was sending this, I just got an e-mail notification from the Nigerian... it got to my e-mail instead of going to spam.)

Anything that was on the phone is already gone. You have no choice but to restore. If you were backing up and syncing the phone on a regular basis, you should be able to restore your backup with minimal data loss.

Use Spotlight Search (the magnifying glass on the top right-hand corner of your menu bar) to locate your music files. Then point iTunes to those files.

Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
Thanks.

"Mac OS X cannot be installed on 'Macintosh HD'. This disk is used for Time Machine backups."

I am trying to upgrade our MacBook to Snow Leopard, but when prompted to select which hard drive to install on and "Macintosh HD" is selected, the following message generates: "Mac OS X cannot be instaled on 'Macintosh HD'. This disk is used for Time Machine backups."
I disabled Time Machine switched it "off," put it in the trash can, then "Secure Emptied" the trash can. I also rebooted. Then I connected an external hard drive thinking that might help, but for some reason I still cannot proceed with the Snow Leopard upgrade because "the disk is used for Time Machine backups."
WHAT is the DEAL!?

It doesn't sound like an upgrade would work very well anyway. Make sure you have a good backup and repartition the startup volume. Then install Snow Leopard onto the hard drive and migrate your old users and applications.

Says I need to format disk in drive E: but I dont want to format it!

I recently needed to get a new hard drive because my Laptop would not start up, and from then when ever I put in a USB or SD card, it says that it needs to be formatted although it works perfectly fine on other computers. Is there anyway I can get it to
work on my laptop because I really do not want to format it. And it would also say that "the volume does not contain a recognized file system"
I have used a recovery tool but they don't recovery everything that I need.

Hello,
I'd ask in the Windows forum on Microsoft Community.

In the process of installing OS X Maverick on mac mini; got error "Filesystem verify or Repair failed"

Hi,
I am in the process of installing Maverick on my Mac Mini. I got an error: "Filesystem verify or Repair failed".
Most threads suggest that I either:
1. restart process,
2. install disk and try again,
3. recover disk
Since I am in the middle of installing, I cannot seem to go back to my working OS to restart the process. Since Maverick is available in the App Store, i cannot use a disk for it. That leaves me with recovering the disk. Can anyone suggest how I can do this without destroying all my files on the computer?
Thanks,

Thanks for your advice.
I do have a backup, but I can't access it right now. I tried the OS X Recovery, but when I try the "Command-R" option, it just goes right back into the install. I have used the "Command-R" option before, so I know when and how long to hold it for. I just couldn't get it to not enter the install. I did manage to at one point get a prompt where it asked me if I wanted to install from Macintosh HD (main partition) or Backup (secondary partition), but I chose Macintosh HD, and it went back into the install. I couldn't get that option again for whatever reason.
Is there a way I can just start from scratch? Both Snow Leopard and Mavericks are online only. Is there a way to pause the install, connect to the internet and install a brand new (wipe out all files - I can always use by backup to restore my important files later) copy of the OS?
Thanks,

I want to upgrade iMac to Snow Leopard, can I use the (DVD-Mac OS X 10.6.3) that I got with the 15" MacBook Pro that totally died, and upgrade iMac from that DVD

I want to upgrade my iMac to Snow Leopard, can I use the (DVD-Mac OS X 10.6.3) that I got with my purchase of the 15" MacBook Pro that totally died, and upgrade the iMac from that DVD that came with the laptop ? Thanks

No, that 10.6.3 DVD is system specific to the MacBook Pro.
You need a Snow Leopard Upgrade > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
or if a MobileMe users > Apple throws MobileMe users a free version of Snow Leopard

I created a New Apple Id, i verified it using mail but it is not yet Reviewed, and now i dont want want the apple id so how can i delete it??

My Apple id is not being reviewed because of the Payment option which i dont want..
And that too i din create the apple id using itunes... i did it using a Browser..
And that is the reason why i want to delete the account.. Any Idea how u can do it??

It doesn't matter how you made the Apple ID, they are all the same, they can all be used for the same thing. You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can only ignor it and not use it. However, you cannot use the email address that you used to create the Apple ID for any other Apple ID.

Sometimes I just want to close ONLY one window, but Firefox is closing ALL TABS, and I don't want this!

I sometimes will open several windows, especially from my Comcast mailbox. When I am through with that window, I will close it, but leave the other ones open. FIrefox won't do this any more, When I close 1 window, Firefox send me a message stating that it is CLOSING ALL TABS. I DONT WANT TO CLOSE all of them, I just want to close the window I am closing!. This is very annoying, because I have to re-log back into everything, because FIrefox is "CLOSING ALL TABS", and all I want to to close ONE window...I am about ready to chuck this browser....I tried to find an answer to this in tools, but was unable to do so. Please help me with this

Use CTRL+W - to close the surrent tab.
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
