My Imac A1312 crashed I have no recovery disk. What can I do?

My IMac A1312 crashed and no recovery method was made prior to crash.
I do not know the version of operating system.
I have a new hard drive but am not sure what to do

It is very difficult to offer assistance when we do not know the model your iMac nor the OS system.  If you are the owner, you should at least know which OS is installed.

If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, give them a call.  Let them deal w/your problems.  Otherwise, take your iMac to your local AS or an AASP.

  • Ichat is missing, and I do not have a recovery disk, what can i do?

    My ichat app is missing, I have checked in spotlight and nothing.... I do not have a disk, I don't know what to do, can you guys help me??
    Thank you all in advance

    If you installed the new Message beta program, it replaces iChat.  It should have what you need to do iChats.
    You can use the uninstaller within the Message program to uninstall it and replace your iChat.
    Disregard if you didn't download Messages beta.

  • My new iPod plays the music over and over again. It does not stop and the volume buttons have no effect. What can I do? The RESTRICTIONS  require a a passcode and I don't have one. Any suggestions?

    My new iPod plays the music over and over again. It does not stop and the volume buttons have no effect. What can I do? The RESTRICTIONS  require a a passcode and I don't have one. Any suggestions?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup.
    In order to restore with the unknown Restrictions passcode you will likely have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    Mini is glitchy and freeze. Have newest update. What can I do?

    Hey dstgemme,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPad is freezing and glitching. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

  • My iMac from 2007 is slow and sometimes freezes, what can I do? (Software is updated and RAM is maxed at 4GB, CleanMyMax 2 is runed)

    Hi, My iMac from 2007 is slow and sometimes freezes, what can I do?
    All my Software is updated and RAM is maxed at 4GB. I have used CleanMyMac 2 to clean the iMac.
    I also have a problem with Wi-Fi is jumping between On and Looking for Networks

    Almost certainly that is your problem, Norton causes more problems than it ever helps. Not only is it unnessary no antivirus app is necessary. Keep your machine up-to-date using Software Update and in most situations that is all you need for security.
    You can find Norton's uninstall link at:

    So please can i have some support.
    I'll appreciate your help.
    Thanks

    Reset Security Questions
         There are several different methods. Try one. If it doesn't work,
         then try the next one. Don't try to do everything at once.
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Note: you may need to continue entering false answers to the questions until you trigger the response needed to start making changes. It will take six or nine retries.
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
      1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;
      6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
      7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
          like your security/challenge questions reset;
      8. Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

    When I make a purchase in the app store via paypal it redirects me to the paypal website to add a credit card. However, my paypal is linked to my account directly and I have no card. What can I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
