Need to reinstall 10.7.5 from a flash drive. Where do I download the iso/image file to do so?

The cursor on my intel 64 bit macbook pro won't click on anything. I boot it up and can log into my account and move the cursor around just fine along with multitouch gestures working fine too. hovering over items on the dock even makes the program name pop up. However, nothing happens when I try to click on anything. I tried using a few different usb mice, wired and wireless. Those could move the cursor around as well, but still couldn't click on anything. Every time I log into my user account, safari automatically opens to a log in page for my university and an error message pops up trying to access the password from keychain (im assuming it's trying to fill in the username/password fields for the university site). Since I can't click anything, I can't get rid of the keychain error window thing. I've tried force quitting, booting in safe mode, and just about every keyboard short cut I could find seeing as the keyboard is the only way to interact with the computer. I held cmd-r while booting to get to recovery mode, but can't navigate through the menus to reinstall solely from using tab, arrow keys, etc.. Should I just give it a new install from a flash drive or does apple not allow that what with all the DRM restrictions they have

If you don't have a backup or made a bootable USB drive previously, then you would have to download the OS again using recovery - I know of no other way except to buy it again by calling Apple, getting a redemption code, and then downloading it.

    Once you get your S/N and download the software, back them up to a CD or backup HD. Not doing that is like purchasing a CD, installing software, and tossing the CD in the trash.

  • Why can't I download pictures from a flash drive to my iPad?

    Why can't I download pictures from my flash drive to my iPad?

    The USB Camera connecto (30 pin or lightning)r can read pictures from certain flash drives and imp[ort them to the iPad.
    The pictures must be in a folder called DCIM and have a naming structure similar to what a camera would produce.  8 character names plus the 3 character extension.  ie. image001.jpg
    Aside from that, some USB flash drives may require too much power which would cause the iPad to issue a warning.
    How are you placing the images in the drive? 
    It the iPad issuing an error?
    What exactly are you doing?

    Hi Can anyone please tell me from where I can download the Photoshop CS6 program I purchased a download (media less) some 2 years ago and all has been OK up to know but I am know having issues and would like to uninstall and reinstall. I have the relevant codes and activation keys but would need to be sure I can obtain the program again before I start. Thank you

    Make sure you are dealing with the correct product for the serial number.  If the serial number is for a full creative suite then you need to get the suite, not the individual application, and vice versa.
    Unrelated to that, in case it helps, here is a link to another site.  You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

    Windows 7, Photoshop cs6 : I need to reinstall photoshop cs6 that is down on my PC. What is the procedure?

    You shouldn't have to deactivate it if it's the same computer.  Remove photoshop as best you can using Windows Uninstall.  Then reinstall a new copy from here:

    Make sure you select the same version that you had before (extended or not, same OS, etc).  It shouldn't be an issue if it's the same computer.

  • My assistant and I are using two Lightrooms (i.e. two serial numbers) and need to share between our two computers. I provide originals to her onto a flash drive. She tags them and returns them to me. I then copy the photos from her flash drive onto my com

    My assistant and I are using two Lightrooms (i.e. two serial numbers) and need to share between our two computers. I provide originals to her onto a flash drive. She tags them and returns them to me. I then copy the photos from her flash drive onto my computer and load them in my LR. The photos appear but witthout any editing or tagging. We need to be able to have her working on the photos on her computer with her copy of LR and me on my computer with my version of LR being able to access what is already tagged and given back to me. This seems hard. We need advice on if it is at all possible to have two computers simultaneously working on LR . I bought her her own version because I was told at the time of purchasing that that was the only way to share. Please advise urgently! Thanks.

    Sounds like your assistant isn't instructing Lightroom to write the tagging and editing to the files themselves, so wehn the files return to you, they don't have editing and tagging information. She need to select the photos in Lightroom and then Ctrl-S (Cmd-S on Mac). Or alternatively turn on the option to autmoatically write this information to the files.
    If you are using RAW photos, then this information will be written to a sidecar XMP file, and your assistant must provide you with the sidecar file. If these photos are not RAW photos, then the information is written directly into the photo file itself.
    Lightroom wasn't designed to be a multi-user program, and so it is truly not possible to have two people working on the same catalog at once. The way you are doing things, as modified above, is probably the way to go.
    As an alternative, you can transfer (portions of) catalogs as well as photos back and forth and then all of these issues disappear, but a catalog might be rather large for a flash drive (or maybe not, it depends)

  • I've gotten a kernel panic 4 times in a row while trying to reinstall lion osx from a flash drive to a reformatted hard drive.  How is this possible when there's "nothing" on my computer?

    My SSD failed and I was instructed to reformat my hard drive and restore my files.  I erase my hard drive using Disk Utility and reinstalled Lion from a flash drive. While Lion is installing, I get a kernel panic.  That's happened now four times in a row and I'm befuddled because I don't have anything on my computer to conflict right?  Please help.

    No way to tell unless you test it.  Like I said kernel panics are usually hardware related.  Since your Macbook Pro is from the "2009" era, run the Hardware Test disc which you should already have - Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test 
    Apple Store diagnostic testings are FREE.  It's the repairs you are responsible for if out of warranty.

  • NB100 - How can I reinstall OS from USB flash drive

    My TOSHIBA NB 100 notebook does not have CD-DVD drive.
    OS is Windows XP Home SP2.
    OS is not booting.
    Notebook won't start at all so I cannot run any sort of test when i turn it on.
    The we apologize screen come on it says run safe mode, safe mode networking, safe mode comand prompt or start windows normally. But no matter which I chose it won't start it only goes to Windows and seems like its starting but then shows the blue Windows screen & stays there.
    So I want to reload Windows from my USB flash drive.
    The BIOS boot sequence is HDD - FDD - FD - CD - USB Memory.
    What are the steps for loading Windows from USB flash drive?
    If this does not work then I want to connect another laptop with Windows CD in its CD-DVD drive to the Notebook.
    Will this work? Will the Notebook use the Windows CD in the laptop drive to load the OS?
    How to do this connection?

    Hi
    Usually you would need an external USB CD/DVD drive in order to boot from the Windows XP disk or Toshiba recovery disk.
    But there is a method which allows you to install the Win XP using 2GB USB flash drive.
    This is possible because the BIOS of NB100 support the booting from USB memory stick.
    Pease check this internet page:

  • How do I transfer files from a flash drive to my iPad? Do I need an adapter?

    How do I transfer data from a flash drive to my iPad 2? Do I have to have an adapter or special device to do this?

    You can use the camera connection kit to plug in a flash drive. But there are a lot of 'buts'.
    First, most flash drives will trigger a 'device requires too much power' warning and will not work. (I had a 50/50 success rate)
    Second, the iPad will only import properly named photo and video files. You cannot transfer music or documents.
    Third, there is zero support for the export of files.
    You can look into wireless flash drives. The Kingston WiDrive is just one example. They generate a localized wifi hotspot that you can connect your iPad to and then use an app to transfer files.

  • Booting from a flash drive

    So I have a G4 that meets all the requirements for 10.5. I am currently running 10.4.11. I have a copy of 10.5 which is on a flash drive. I looked into it and followed the instructions on how to load from a flash drive. Reformatted to allow journaling and used disc utility to put the 10.5 installer on there bur when I hold option to try and boot from the drive the only possible drive to boot from is my internal hd. The flash drive doesn't come up as an option. Any ideas why?

    Why rare when I can do it! All you have to do is type in open firmware the following:
    boot ud:3,\\:tbxi or if you just have one USB device, type: boot ud:,\\:tbxi.
    Works everytime, also works for flash drives and external optical drives hooked up to USB..
    Only drawback: It won't appear as a start up disk under system preferences, I am trying to figure out how to hack it to make it recognize it. USB 2.0 booting on PowerPC was introduced silently with Tiger 10.4.3(from what I read).
    for any powerpc mac, go into open firmware and type: devalias.. scroll until you see "ud"(your device needs to be hooked up for this to work). Then follow the instructions above.. You will be amazed to welcome USB as a new member of your powerpc bootable family.
