Os x re install from CD shows no destination to select, or options

I have the dreaded blue screen on my i book. Tried pram reset etc, no good. Went to re install OS X for CD, got to select destination and nothing is in the window to select. No options button either.

it started to operate very slowly, then nothing.

Welcome to Discussions.
Before any procedure like this make sure you back up your HDD or you User Folder and any third party apps you don't want to reinstall.
Boot from your install disk holding down the C key. After selecting language go to the Installer menu (Utilities menu in Tiger) and open Disk Utility. Select you HDD in the left panel and First Aid in the right panel. Run Repair Disk by clicking on the button on the bottom right. If problems are detected, run again, and again until none are reported. If it reports that there are problems DU can't repair you will need to use Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior.
After Repairing Disk, while still in Disk Utility Repair Disk Permissions by clicking the button on the bottom left of the First Aid panel. When this is done quit DU and proceed with install.
Post back with questions or comments.
Good luck.

My IPhone 3GS suddenly shows no possibility to select wifi options, not turning on nor off like it doesn´t have a wifi dievice inside, how to fix this?

Just suddenlly the phone started to show like no wifi device were on it, not possible to turn it on nor off and cannot select any options, also not connecting to 3G service even I have it.
Do someone has face this or knows how to fix it?}

If the repair shop was not apple certified repair shop then Apple will not replace/ or touch that device with a ten foot pole sadly. I'd follow Rudegar's advise and try anthoer repair shop as sadly it sounds like you got jipped by the original owner. Always verify your infomation through the company before you hand over the money!

Show/hide fields when selecting an option from a drop-down menu.

Hello Gurus!
I have a question about creating a Java Script withing Acrobat pro. This is what i would like to do: I created a drop-down menu with several selection entries. Upon the customer making one of the selection entries, i would like for the correct fields that i created to become visible and all other fields to hide. Is this even possible to do? The reasoning behind this is because we have a form that customers have to generate in order to request access to certain financial accounts; we have over 20 different types of accounts and for each instance the customer has to fill out the same form. By creating a drop down menu, i can use the same form by just changing the drop-down selection and clicking on the designated fields for that selection. At this time i have over 20 different forms that poing to 20 different account requests and i would hate to send the form 20 different times to one person. The reason i can not add all fields desired for all accounts is due to the fact that the form would be filled with hundreds of checkmarks and instructions thus making the process too tideous for the customer. Hope you guys can help out.

The good news is, it can be done (and it has been done).
There are a few things to be aware of, however.
The most important is that the form must be planned well, which means that you must think carefully about your logic and even more so about your field naming (hierarchical field names are your friend). One fundamental issue, you have to be aware of, is that this form no longer will be a "standard form". The consequence of this is that you may have to be aware that you might get into trouble when you have to prove that your user filled out that particular standard form (talk to your compliance and forms management people about that).
You also may have to decide whether the form should be usable in Reader. And, if so, how much you want to spend on the right to do so. You will see below why…
There are actually two approaches for dynamically showing/hiding parts of a form. If your form can be separated between a fixed first page (where you also have the account type selection), and a variable part (depending on the selection), you could use Templates, which you spawn according to the selection, and delete pages when you change the selection. This approach is very easy to implement, but requires Reader Extensions Server to allow it to work in Reader; Acrobat Pro's extended rights are not sufficient for that.
The other approach is showing/hiding fields. If you did your homework well, it would be very easy to first hide all subsequent fields, and then show the ones you need in two lines of code. This approach does not require extended rights for Reader at all, as long as your forms will always have the same number of pages, for each of your account types. This approach also works for the cases where the differences between the individual forms are very small. It does also work for showing/hiding bigger chunks of the form. In that case, you might create the "background" separately, and then put it as an icon into a button field which you will show/hide together with the carefully placed on top of it active fill-out fields.
There is a third possibility, which Adobe Propaganda probably would suggest, and that woudl be subforms in LiveCycle Designer. The consequence is, however, that you won't have PDF forms, but proprietary XFA forms instead. And you may have more developing and maintenance work than with the other approaches.
Back to your original question: you could use a Keystroke script evaluating event.changeEx of the combo box field. Depending on that, you would run your action to set up the according form part. The other way to do it would be evaluating event.value in the onBlur event. The latter would have the advantage that the selection has been made, and you get a bit more time to set up the form (this may in fact be an issue, particularly with Acrobat 9 and 10, which may take their time to show/hide fields).
Another possibility instead of a drop down (combo box field) would be a popup, where you would have a button to press, and the list of selections pops up. This second method uses app.popUpMenuEx().
Hope this can help.

How to show more emails (already selected relevant options)

Hi
Is there a way to show more emails, as in settings I've selected 200 recent messages and right now only see about 3 days worth which is way under 200.
I've had the option selected for over 2 weeks, but last Thursdays emails are as far I can go back.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Asking myself the same thing on 5S

My ibook g4 took a install from apple update . Why is it not going past the screen where is shows Mac OS X

My ibook g4 took a install from apple update . Why is it not going past the screen where is shows Mac OS X

Did you verify the hard drive before installing the update? You could have had hard drive corruption where the computer did not know where all the files are and something didn't get installed correctly.
Did you repair permissions? The installer may not have been able to overwrite a file if the permissions on files were not set correctly.
Frankly, the easiest thing will be to re-install the operating system from the installer disc. While booted to the disc make sure you run Disk Utility First Aid to repair the drive and permissions, then install. Many of us prefer to download updates from Apple rather than rely upon Software update. we use SU to tell us what we need but we download them separately.
For which operating system was this update? Apple hasn't brought out a new system update for G4s in quite a while.

I have downloaded OS X Yosemite using recovery from boot but while installing error occuring showing unable to extract essential.pkg so can't install. problem is i have already formatted my drive and dont have any os right now. please help

i have downloaded OS X Yosemite using recovery from boot but while installing error occuring showing unable to extract essential.pkg so can't install. problem is i have already formatted my drive and dont have any os right now. only the downloaded new os x yosemite in the os x base system. please help

Please try again after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
Step 1
Reset your computer’s PRAM.
Step 2
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
Step 3
Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.
Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups.
Step 4
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider to have the machine tested.

Apps installed from disk, but Application Manager shows them as not installed

I have all Creative Suite (Master) apps installed from disk, but Application Manager shows them as not installed. Why?

I find a way that could be firing this issue.
First, I installed Creative Cloud in spanish language, then installed some apps like DW, PS, FW, FL, and some more.
Then, some days ago, I realized that my apps were in spanish language, but I prefer them in english, so I switched the language of CC to english in settings options.
Now, these apps installed in spanish language are marked as "not installed" and I see the option to install them. And applications installed before language change, are fine and tracked for updates.
Maybe the issue is related to language changed, the CC manager can't track the language change.
Hope to find a solution in short time, this could be a major issue for someone.
At this time, I'm re-installing the apps in english, I think they must override the spanish ones.
I'm using MacOS 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion) on MacBook AIR, Core i7 (if that make sense)
Cheers!

That error means the country is blocked from purchasing apps. You cannot buy Apps from the store in Syria. The iPhone is not sold in Syria, nor there are carriers that support it.

Apps no longer install from iTunes and disappear from home screen

Everything went fine until a few days ago, with no change I can discern, apps no longer installed from iTunes. They did install when I deleted them in iTunes, synced, then installed from the Touch. Now even that is failing unless I reset settings on the Touch after every install session. Resets make these apps appear but I have to do it all over again to install new apps and, again, only from the Touch. I
've reset in iTunes twice to a brand new iPod. Have tried installing one app at a time and can't find a culprit. This is a new development so I'm not inclined to think it's hardware. Can a bad app do this to a second generation Touch three months old running 2.2? I've never been near a jaibreak thing.

If you mean hardware I wonder why it would develop out of nowhere. It's a flash drive, yes? If it's a software problem wouldn't it be fixed by a reset. Remember that apps show up after resetting settings on the touch itself but doing that after every installation is a drag.

Trying to do clean install from USB after kernel problem

MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2010
- was running OS X v 10.9
- 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
Machine was running extremely slow, unable to do anything with it. When booted to safe mode, lag issue was not present. Booted to Disk Utility, left column showed (photoshoped to show how it looked originally):
Verified and repaired Macintosh HD and disk1 - OS X Base System, no problems.
Booted Option R - Erased Macintosh HD, tried to do new install from online, failed 3 times (took in excess of 8 hours each time). Still lagging, mouse movement very irratic.
Reset SMC, and NVRAM, some improvemet with mouse movement and speed
Read suggestions online to erase entire drive, boot from USB to DU, and install from bootable USB. Tried to do that. When in the boot from screen (Option) mouse lag not apparent. Chose USB, it opened up DU. Erased Macintosh HD again. Cannot delete or unmount OS X Base System, new screen looks like this:
From this screen, I exit back to the first screen and select Install OS X Mavericks, it gives me the choice to install on USB or Macintosh HD, I chose the latter, follow the steps, get a screen saying it's installing then it brings me back to DU after about 10 min. What am I missing here? Do I need to partition Macintosh HD creating a boot portion? I'm not a Mac person, I'm trying to fix this for my son.
Can I even do an install on Macintosh HD? I get that prior to booting to USB, I was using disk1, and so it couldn't be erased, but booting from the USB, would I not be using DU from the USB, and therefore able to clean the HD and start fresh? I'm guessing that the boot disk is causing the lag, and want to get rid of it.
Or is the disk showing disk3: OS X Install ESD accessible someone to do the install and I'm just going in circles?
I'd be extremely appreciative of any help you could provide, thank you.

Try this: (1) On your Mac mount the disk in the Time Capsule (probably called "Data"). (2) In the "Data" volume locate and mount the "sparsebundle" image that contains the "old" backups. (3) Click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then choose from the pop-up menu the option to "Browse Other Time Machine Disks". That should give you access to the old files.

Clean install from Time Machine

My Macbook started to get slower over the last couple of months.
Last month I lost about 10/7500 records in cash book.
I did Verify disk in Disk Utility which recommended reinstall.
I did backup to Time Machine.
Then did Erase Disk.
Now restart computer (holding down command-R) and get message to instal from internet.
How can I install from the Time Machine.
I have another MacBook Pro ,on OS X 10.7.5.
Hoping someone can help.
Regards, David.

Can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion

can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion. when restart and i press command it still has recovery mountain lion show on my screen.

What model is the MBP? Did it come with OS 10.6 or a later OS? Is the install DVD one that came with it or something else?
You can't run an OS older than Mac on it.
But if came with 10.6 installed & you have the system discs, you should be able to erase the drive & reinstall the original OS.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.

How can I get credit in Mac App Store for software installed from CD?

So I have purchased iLife '11 and iWork '09 disks. I have had them installed on my MacBook Pro since 2010. The Mac App Store has happily been updating the all the apps for as long as I can remember. However, the MAS doesn't recognize the iLife and iWork apps as INSTALLED. I tried a "fix" to drop a MAS receipt into the individual app's Packages, and it did change the MAS to show them as INSTALLED. However, to test whether the MAS really saw them as something I had purchased and could then reinstall, I deleted the Numbers app.
Now the MAS shows me needing to spend the $20 to get Numbers back. I know I could just dig out the DVD and install it again.
I am thinking of wiping my MBP drive and doing a clean install of Mountain Lion and am just trying to make sure I don't have to buy apps again, and am trying to get around re-installing from original DVDs and going through major time upgrading them through the MAS.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You cannot get the MAS to recognize the iLife or iWork apps installed from disc and update them. These are two different versions of the apps. Falsifying the disc versions with copies of MAS receipts from other apps will not accomplish this, as it cannot be done. The apps from disc are updated through Software Update until they are at the end of their road. At that point you would need to purchase paid upgrades through the MAS.
