Need help reinstalling - challenge to those out there.

I need some help
After downloading quicktime 7.1, front row etc from latest software update on my macbook pro, (with latest osx installed) i was unable to progress past the initial 'starting mac os x' screen. After trying various tricks via the manual unsucessfully i got onto support who suggested doing a reinstall of mac os x from the factory disks, the option where all your settings are saved.
I ran out of hard disk space around 90% of way into it.
Now whenever i restart the computer i get a 'unable to install mac os x due to insufficient space' message.
I am unable to mount the powerbook in target firewire mode via my emac; the disk is unmountable.
So i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. How can I delete files from the macbook pro when i can't mount the hard drive? is there any way to mount such a drive to delete the necessary files and hence do an install whilst preserving my details?

Try holding down the "shift" key on startup, and be prepared to wait 5 minutes. This is "safe mode". After/if the machine starts, go to harddrive/Library/StartupItems, and remove everything in there, especially Version Cue, if you have Adobe cs in there. Restart.

    Actually, you can and have downloaded from there, because that message only happens when the download is finished.
    The message is entirely normal, and is Apple's way of encouraging the world to use the Mac App Store. That doesn't help you because Acrobat isn't in the Mac App Store - it isn't allowed there.
    So, what to do? Change your system settings
    Please follow the steps given below to resolve this issue -

  • I erased all of the loops on my logic pro 9.  Do i need to reinstall all discs, or are there specific discs to install "loops?"

    I erased all of the loops on my logic pro 9.  Do i need to reinstall all discs, or are there specific discs to install "loops?"

    There's a new menu entry in the latest version, allowing you to download all the extra content directly onto your hard drive, without having to keep inserting new DVDs etc. It's 19gb (compressed). If you have a normal/decent internet connection, you could reinstall your loops while you're busy doing something else. Or busy doing nothing.

  • HT5312 i need help with the security questions is there some way to get you to remind me what they were from e-mail or other wise

    I need help with the security Questions is there some way to get you to remember them by e-mail of other wise

    Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    Turns out there is a firmware update to that drive. Maybe it helps.

    You can reinstall the driver by uninstalling it in Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and rebooting.

  • For all those out there with Iphone5 WIFI issues,Please READ THIS

    I pre-ordered my iphone 5 (Black) got that last week. Quickly backed up my Iphone 4 and Restored my iphone 5.The first thing i checked to see is connecting to my WIFI network at home. And i kept getting a message "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK". I had the iphone 4 aside and i can see iphone 4 is connected just fine. So are my laptop, Ipad and other devices.
    So what is different in Iphone5?
    After couple of days of head banging, and phone calls with apple support. I finally gave up and went to a apple store , they said, They have not heard any WIFI issues and my case was the first , However to keep me happy they said they will replace my device, But if have the same issue ,they will NOT be able to replace it again. And they even showed me the new iphoen connects to their "Non-secured" apple WIFI network.
    So i take the new phone home, and the first thing i try is connecting to WIFI.And i still get "Unable to connect to the wifi network ".And i still can see Iphone 4 working fine and connecting to the same network just fine. With the second iphone5 also not working, I realized it is not hardware, but something surely changed with WIFI in iphone 5. I have a NETGEAR router with its latest firmware installed(2.0.26). I then downgraded my firmware to 2.0.21, then gave a shot.
    BINGO..Iphone 5 works fine connects to wifi.and so is my iphone4 too.
    So for all those users out there, the fact is something changed in iphone 5 WIFI algorithm. And if anyone really disagrees with me on this, I am going to post a video to demonstrate on YOUTUBE. I believe it is completely UNFAIR for apple to now ask you Upgrade/change your router or its firmware. And it is not fair for router companies to Fix anything to make their firmware compatible with iphone5.
    So iphone 5 Users, Please lets us all push for a fix on this issue. WE WANT FIX.

    I can't tell you how frustrated/disappointed I was when this exact situation happened to me. I upgraded my wife's iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 just to find out that it wouldn't connect to my home wifi but would connect everywhere else. Guess what...
    I found a fix!!
    On you iPhone go to Settings, General, About, scroll to "WiFi Address". Now stay there.
    Log-in to your modem thru your web browser via IP Address. (Keep in mind, I use a 2Wire modem, yours may be different) Clicked "Wireless" for wireless settings, scrolled down to "MAC Filtering" and clicked "Edit Allowed/Blocked Device List". At the bottom, there's a field to which you can manually enter a MAC address to you allow or block. If you're using a different modem with different menus/options, just browse around til you find a similar option of manually adding MAC addresses for access or blocking.
    MAC Address = Wifi Address. See where i'm going with this?
    Type the WiFi Address from you iPhone in the MAC address field, click "Add to List". If MAC filtering is enabled, it'll be added to the BLOCK list, simply click on the address, and click the double arrow pointing towards the ALLOW list so it'll transfer lists to where you want it, then click save.
    Now go back to your iPhone and attempt to re-connect to your wifi network as you normally would & voila!
    This worked for me, i hope it works for you as well.

  • I need help reinstalling office for my iMac

    I need to reinstall Office 2011 for my iMac. I downloaded it off the web and do not have the email that has the product key. I have found out how to uninstall it, but need to know how to reinstall it.
    Thank you

    Since Office is not an Apple product, contact MS support or post your question on the MS Mac forums, as this forum is for troubleshooting apple software update for Windows, and not related to MS Office in any way.  The MS Mac forums are where the Mac Office gurus hang out.

  • I need help reinstalling CS5

    Hello,
    My computer recently got a virus and I had to wipe it and reinstall Windows. I need to reinstall my CS5 now, but when I punch in the serial it gives me an error and says the serial has already been used (yeah, by me). It is the same computer I installed it on the first time. What do I do?
    Thanks,
    Christina Wood

    I had a similar problem, and I called Adobe Technical Support.  They were able to disable the serial number so I could re-use it.

  • Thanx Noeqplease but I still need some help form U or anyone out there

    Answer From Noeqplease
    'Hi Teebow,
    You need to set up a simple pair of transformers, in your audio Layer.
    One transformer will feed MIDI channel 1, and one, MIDI channel 2, in your arrange page, for recording.
    First, create a simple Environment Object, and call it whatever you like (key splitter is good). This is so you can send one midi stream ot both Transformers.
    Cable this to the following two Transformers:
    The first Transformer will FILTER all notes BELOW your set parameter, ie whatever note you decide. This is the TOP of the keyboard split. Hook this up to your first Audio Instrument channel. this would be the melody instrument.
    The second transformer will FILTER all notes ABOVE your set parameter, ie whatever note you decide. this is the BOTTOM of the keyboard split.Hook this up to your second Audio Instrument channel. This would be the Bass instrument.
    In the Arrange Page, create your two instruments, and then select the TRANSFORMERS as the Instruments to be active. In other words, you'll see in the Arrange page "Transformer #1, Transformer #2" instead of the actual instruments. This is so you can record through them, and then the VIs just playback the correct notes.
    Cheers '
    I am not transformer savey However if you or anyone reading this could please send me a pic as to what the settings within this beast should look like for both channels so that I can click an go thanx

    Logic can only show the parameters for one object at a time (the selected object) so a screenshot will do you no good, as it can't show all the parameters at once.
    Have you tried working through this? Or did you just not understand it without trying? The instructions, while not explicit, are clear enough in principle. Work through it, and if there is anything you don't understand, post back for clarification. That way you might just become a little more environment savvy...
