Macbook Pro 17-Cannot install Snow Lep. How to solve the error message GUID
When I try to install Snow L., I get the error that my disk did not use the GUID partition table scheme. The install prog says to use the disk utility to change the partition scheme. It further says to select the disk and then the partition tab, and then the volume scheme and then use the option button to change it. Problem is that when I get that far, the option tab is greyed out. There is only one partition. This laptop was factory new January of this year. How do we do this without erasing everything and starting over?
PLEASE email <Edited by Host> if you can tell me (PLEASE) what to do. Lastly, I DO have a TM backup and Fusion is running XP Pro.
Regardless of your current dilemma you need to have a least one complete backup in some form. Disk drives fail - not if, only when.
You should get an external drive with enough capacity to contain a complete backup.
You can make a bootable clone using either:
SuperDuper! which I use. You can find it [here|http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html]
or Carbon Copy Cloner which many people also highly recommend which can be found [here|http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html].
SuperDuper! has a free version that will make a bootable clone, and Carbon Copy Cloner is donation ware.
Time Machine is also a good option.
I would start with a bootable clone. All it will cost you is the drive.
With a bootable clone you can boot it and verify that you have a working clone of your system before messing around with the MacBook Pro's internal drive..
I backup everything twice via 2 different methods: Time Machine to a Time Capsule and SuperDuper! to an external drive.
I learned the hard way that all disk drives are subject to failure even backup drives. I was very lucky, the backup device failed immediately after I had restored my wife's data to a new laptop after the laptop's drive failed.
I went to make a new backup of the new laptop and the drive was dead.
Disks are cheap and getting cheaper. If you value your data you need to have backups.

My MacBook Pro (version 10.7.5 4GB)keeps crashing with the error message 'Your MAC OSX start up disk has no more space available for application memory' - what do i do. I keep force quitting the applications and turning the computer off but it happens again after a while
Hhow much goal and free hard disk space is available? Sounds like you need to move some things off of that hard drive.

Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.
All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

please help!! I've been trying to solve this error message for hours
the feed url is http://feeds.feedburner.com/goodstewards
the artwork url is http://www.goodstewards.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/logo.jpg
this is a wordpress domain that i am using with feedburner"Your Blogger feed has no 'itunes' tags and is lacking the 'iTunes declaration' in the second line, so you have no image as far as the Store is concerned. You need to set Blogger to provide an itunes-compliant feed."
So, how do I set Blogger to do that? I was Googling for the answer, but nothing. I have "Allow Blog Feed" set to full and Title Links and Enclosure Links enabled.
"Your Feedburner feed link goes to a text page containing the code of a feed - this feed does have the 'itunes:...' tags. However in both feeds you are using Google Drive as a server for the image and media files and the URLs are prefaced with https (encrypted connection) - this may work in the Store but it is inadvisable and your URLs should begin with http."
Yeah, I couldn't think of another way to get you straight to the actual XML file. I guess what you are saying is that Google Drive does not have an appropriate server, which is why it gives https instead of http as a head. -

My MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo gives me an error message during Lion install. My Intel Duo Core is not an Intel Duo Core and cannot install Lion. I already have Snow Leopard what is the problem with Lion?
You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo" My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!
This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
After making your backup try the following:
Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/ -

How to read the error message like clipping positive or -ve in Tektronix oscillioscope 3012B
During acquiring the Sine wave or triangular wave from TDS3012B, if the amplitude or Max or min is clipping, how do you read the error? I used *ESR?, first time when I ran the error query program, it gave me Error message saying it is clipping, after that If I run again,the error query , It would not give me the error message, I couldn't reproduce it, eventhough but On the screen if I measure, Amp, min and Max it says that it is clipping positive or -ve. I was wondering how to read the error message while aquiring the data? If any one could help me that would be of great help.. Thanks
Usually, reading the error status register clears it. I'm not familiar with this particular model of scope but you may have to initiate a new acquisition in order for the scope to generate a new error. Another possiblity is that a new error will be generated when the vertical scale changes. Unless someone posts with an answer, I'd say that your best bet to get an answer is to contact Tektronix technical support.
