My MacBook Pro has gone back to the OS X Setup Assistant page. HELP!!!
Was using my MacBook Pro this evening and a message came up in about 5 languages telling me I had to restart. I did and now the only thing I can get on the MacBook is the OS X Setup Assistant. How can I get back to all my data, email, photos, life??? Can anyone help?

That happened to me recently. I followed the instructions on this support page and it's as good as new:

My new macbook pro has gone black on me three days in a row. is this a chronic problem?
The only way to get it back is a hard reset or let the battery die and then plug in the charger. The brightness is up and the power stays on while screen is black.
This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks. I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.Try a SMC reset:

Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!
You also may want to let Apple know about this as well:

Yahoo is my homepage, I have been using Firefox for years but when I downloaded Firefox 4 my yahoo email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, it was there for a while but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html -

Hello,
I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information about migrating your iTunes library.

I've tried multiple times to set my home page to Yahoo.com
It works as long as I have Firefox open, but if I close Firefox and then re-open it, the home page has reverted back to the default home page, not the one I set.
This has not happened before updating to 3.6.10.There are several possible reasons for it being reset, for details see [[Preferences are not saved]].

HI there,,,
My MacBook Pro has been wiped and locked. It is requesting a PIN consisted of four numbers only.
Who do I contact to help me solve this problem?I do not know what really happend. however, my Mac is requesting a four digit PIN to open and I really have now idea what those numbers might be. when I contacted my son, he sugested that it is locked or wiped. I have all the official and required papers to claim that I am the rightful owner of the product.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Recently my Macbook Pro's keyboard failed. Using my wireless keyboard, i managed to backup everything to my 500gb Seagate external hard drive. I sent the machine in, had the keyboard repaired, and now the machine is back, and i am loading my content back onto the macbook. My problem is that the drive is now read only, and i have searched for all the obvious fixes. The lock on the permissions secion of the info block on the drive. (not present). I have even tried disk utility, but all the options are greyed out.
I am a graphic designer, and so i use my external drive extensively to move artwork around, so it is important that i can make it writable. It worked perfectly on this very same machine, two weeks ago, and nothing has changed on the drive, so i can only assume it is a software issue on the operating system.
I have read through all the forums, etc, and can find nothing that works. I am loath to change anything on the drive, as it was working perfectly on this system before the system went in for its repair.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Charging: NoI had this problem and went to the Apple Genius bar 3 times and everytime they said it was a logicboard failure.. they repaired my logicboard 3 times and within a week of use the x icon would show up.. and it would only run when the power adapter was plugged in.
But as i was fed up going back and forth to the Apple store.. I left the charger connected for about 3-4 days and one the 4th day I pressed the battery button on the side and Voila! It lit up the amount of battery charged.. Keep in mind that the battery light on the left hand side didnt lit up when I pressed the button when the x battery icon showed up
Not to sure how long this will last but I just checked my battery information and now it shows how much cycles and etc it has.. (when before it had all zeros)
I've found that the x battery icon only comes on when the battery is fully depleted (sometimes)!
Btw I have the early 2011 macbook pro 13" unibody model so I wasn't able to take out the battery beneath!
Hope this works! -

My 2014 MacBook Pro has a line across the screen when minimizing
I am having a problem with my 2014 MacBook Pro with the 2.7 Ghz i5 and 8Gb ram.
When I minimize my screen, irrespective of the program, a white line appears across the desktop and sometimes blinks or stays, then goes away. It does not happen every time...However, I already returned one 2014 MacBook Pro for this issue and now it seems this computer is doing it too. I am running Mavericks 10.9 and to make sure it wasn't anything that I had on the original computer, I did not do a backup from time machine; I reloaded the programs from scratch. I have never had this problem with my macbook air and I have a video of the issue occurring.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks!I don't think this is going to do the trick, because the iPad hardware has probably been damaged - but did you try rebooting the iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
