My download of yesemite has failed and I now have nothing on my max book pro 2011 model

I Have a MacBook Pro 2011 and was advised to update to yesemite.. After trying to do this and the outcome being, almost at completion, "your system cannot support this update" I am horrified to find I am stuck in no mans land and now seem to have nothing and unable to return to my old system!!!!

Note that yo will only have Internet Recovery if you updated the firmware:

  • I already have a apple ID for my iphone5. And recently I have purchased a new mac book pro.

    I already have a apple ID for my iphone5. And recently I have purchased a new mac book pro.
    My questions are that
    1: Should I use a existing apple ID or create a new one?
    2: If using my existing apple ID, then will there be any issue at later stages?
    3: How will I be able to share the data between my existing iphone5 & new mac book?
    4: Or will it be better to create a new apple ID for my newly purchase mac book pro?
    Please suggest?

    Use the existing Apple ID, so you can sync your data between your phone and your Mac.
    No.
    iCloud does the job for you. Both your iPhone and your Mac should have asked you to enable it during their first setup. See -> http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    You do not have to create a new Apple ID for your MacBook Pro. If you do that, you may have problems syncing your purchases.

  • I must have clicked on something by mistake and the top tool bar where the Firefox logo was has disappeared and I now have a blank screen. How do I get that back? Before I could click on it to get to the print function.

    I clicked on something by mistake and now have a white blank screen.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

    Hello buddyacw
    You would have to restore the iPhone. Download the latest version of iTunes and then follow the steps in the article below to get it working again.

  • Why Am I getting this error: "downloading theme switcher has failed, retrying"

    Every time I try to install or download an add-on I get this error message:  "downloading theme switcher has failed, retrying".  However, and for what ever reason, the PS tools add-on did download and install successfully.  Any Ideas?
    Thanks
    Ronace

    Hi Ronace,
    I'm the author of Theme Switcher. I can't say why the CC app tells you that - it does for me too for an old add-on I installed many time ago.
    There's an open thread here for removing add ons: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1585860
    Which should be trivial, instead isn't as straightforward as it should be.
    Otherwise you can download the installer (instead of let the CC app install it): log in, goes in the product page, "Where to find it" and then "Download / Install your Add-on another way", "Download using Extension Manager"
    Mind you, check to have the most recent update of Adobe Extension Manager, it's quite picky as a software.
    Hope this helps!
    Regards

  • Hello, I have a 2009 iMac, and my harddrive has failed several times now, and now I need to re-install snow leopard but my install DVD is damaged and I have bought a new snow leopard disc. However my iMac will not read the disc at all ?

    Hello, I have a 2009 iMac, and my harddrive has failed several times now.
    I tired to reinstall snow leopard with the install DVD that came with my iMac. However the disc is damaged so I bought a new Snow Leopard but my iMac wont read the new disc, it just stays in the apple logo screen, I have tired safe boot, holding down the "C" key on startup and tried using disc utility but getting nowhere.
    Please help. Thanks.

    Might be related, if your hard drive is a 1TB drive,it could be a Seagate drive.
    The drives are known to fail and your iMac maybe covered for free replacement under the Apple's Seagate hard drive replacement program until April 12 of this year.
    I Believe the 2009 models are covered under this replacement warranty.
    You can find out if you are eligible here.

    Good Luck!

    Which one, the TM drive or the internal boot drive?
    all my files are lost.
    Where? on both drives or just TM or the internal drive?
    any one know how to get the max osx
    yea, if we knew more details of your machine and what you had before and later
    to see the drive again so i can retrive my files
    I don't know what drive failed.
    I'm thinking here your internal drive failed? Was it replaced?
    You have a blank internal drive and a TimeMachine drive and your asking how to reinstall OS X so you can restore from the TimeMachine drive?
    How are you getting here? Another machine or device and what is it?
    We need more details of your situation please.

  • The adobe flash plugin has failed and none of the solutions have helped

    the adobe flash plugin has failed and none of the solutions listed in the help section works! I've tried all the solutions listed but none seems to work.

    Why is Flash now so unstable in Firefox? The Flash has crashed indicator is now a familiar visitor (it generally goes when I refresh the page so it's not hugely fatal!) But . . . I am having to go back to IE to check the reliability with my own sites - which are heavily dependent on flash for animation and video. What can be done? My Firefox and Flash installations are kept up to date. Really disappointing.

  • I was downloading Mavericks. Internet failed and now can't resume

    I was downloading Mavericks. Internet failed and now can't resume.

    Could you help me please?

    Whatever you do, DO NOT REFORMAT THE DRIVE. You can just get a small <500Gb EXTERNAL bus powered drive, dismantle it and follow the instructions above. If you already have one then that's even better.
    The drive I'm showing here is the drive that used to be inside of my computer. It took apart an old 320Gb seagate drive. The connections on these drives are all universally interchangeable. They just add some circuits and a USB (or other) interface. I would just get the cheapest drive that you can get that is for laptops and looks simple to take apart. (This is almost exactly the drive that I did this too http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-FreeAgent-Portable-External-ST903203FAA2E1-RK/dp/B 001FWIE0K/ref=sr_1_56?ie=UTF8&qid=1343340447&sr=8-56&keywords=seagate+external+h ard+drive)
    The "old internal" drive should still be able to allow you to install ML on the "new" drive as long as you tell it to. It sounds complicated, but it's really not once you get in there and start doing it. It was actually quite easy.

  • I downloaded Firefox 3.6, but now someone (my daughter?) has "redone" it, and I now have Firefox 4, which I don't want, so how do I get rid of 4.0 and get back 3.6?

    I downloaded Firefox 3.6, but somehow I now have version 4.0, and need 3.6 for what I'm doing on my computer. So I need to redownload 3.6 and delete 4.0.

  • When I downloaded CC, I uninstalled CS5 and CS6, now I cannot open my older psd

    When I downloaded CC, I uninstalled CS5 and CS6, now I cannot open my older psd photos, has anyone else had this problem...

    Your info is at best vague. PSD files are compatible across versions on a very broad level, so whatever problem you have may be very specific. You have not provided any relevant technical info about your system or your files, so nobody can say anything specific, though.

  • HT1277 Mail has gone crazy. Header's and messages are mixed up. New Mac Book Pro. Migrated files from Time machine running snow leopard. Reinstall or new computer needed?

    Mail has gone crazy. Header's and messages are mixed up. New Mac Book Pro. Migrated files from Time machine running snow leopard. Reinstall or new computer needed?

    Ok; I'm not sure what you're doing.    36 hours is rather long.  Seems like a new migration.  Not what I intended.
    Here's what I intended: from the newly-migrated and apparently-corrupt environment, create a new user, not related to any existing user, nor any migration-created user, or any other user for that matter.  That is, use  > System Preferences > Users and Groups, authenticate yourself by clicking on the padlock, and then click the + and create a wholly new user.  Then log in under that user and establish the mail access.
    36 hours?  I'm wondering if there's an error or an exceedingly slow network here?  Or a really, really slow disk?  Or a sick backup?  (WiFi isn't the path I'd usually choose, either.)
    Failing the attempted second migration, I'd try a different tactic.  Does your existing (old) system work?   If so, I'd bypass the backup and connect an external (scratch) USB disk drive to the (old) sstem and then boot and use Disk Utility booted from the installer DVD disk or boot and use Disk Utility from the recovery partition or booted from a recovery partition created on some other external storage (details here vary by the OS X version and what hardware you have), and perform a full-disk backup of your original internal disk to (scratch) external storage.  (Make sure you get the source and target disks chosen correctly here; copying the wrong way — from the scratch disk to your existing disk — will clobber your data!)  In esssence, this will clone your existing boot disk.  Then dismount the (formerly-scratch) external disk, transfer it over to the new system, and use it as the source of the migration, by performing a fresh OS X installation on the new system.
    Target Disk Mode is also sometimes an option for accessing the disk for a migration, but that requires the right cable, and requires systems that have the same external connection; newer MacBook Pro systems use Thunderbolt for this, and older systems tend to use FireWire.  And I'm guessing you don't have compatible hardware.
    The details here can and do vary by your OS X versions and your particular Mac systems — if you'll identify the specific models and hardware, somebody might be able to better tailor the above (fairly generic) sequence to your particular configuration.

  • My iphone 4 was stolen and I now have a replacement and I'm tryin g to get all my music back on that was stored on an external hardrive. It has shown up in Itunes as aprevious library but when I try to sync it up to my new phone it won't do it.
