Please help with erase and install
I have been having major problems lately with my Leopard upgrade which I did once Leopard first came out.... Ran good for a while but now it locks up all the time and force quit does nothing... At first I did an Upgrade from Tiger but now I want to do an erase and install...
Can someone run me through using Time Machine to backup my existing drive for my Applications I have like CS3 and Quark etc...
My main question is... after running TM and having a copy of my existing hard drive.. once I erase and install Leopard can I just tell TM to put certain files back on but leave the NEW Leopard install clean?
Thank you in advance,
MarcIf you are going to go to the extreme of doing an Erase and Install, then do it right and also re-install all your third-party software. This will assure that you won't have problems caused by damaged components or files belonging to your third-party applications. Just backup your personal data files, pictures, music, etc. which you can do by copying them to your backup drive.
If this isn't feasible then rather than an Erase and Install do an Archive and Install:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -
Please Help "Firmware Problem" w/ Zen X
I have a 60GB Zen xtra, I was downloading music when I got the battery low message. I shut the player down and didn't recharge until the next day. When I plugged it in the player started re-loading the library then it stopped and I got the message "Firmware Problem" Iwas unable to use the player. I tried turning the player off but was unable to do so until I unplugged and removed the battery. I reinstalled the battery and got the same results, "reloading library" and then "Firmware Problem." I recharged the battery and still same results. I can't access anything. This is the second player I've had with problems. What do I need to do so that I can use the player?
Try reloading the firmware or at worst reformat the player. More here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

After reset, it wont activate. Please help!
Hey im 15 and I did just reset my iphone inside "the find iphone" to test it out, and now it wont activate. It says i had to go to apple.com/support please help.
You erased the phone remotely. Now it will not activate because you have encountered the anti-theft Activation Lock. You will need to enter the original Apple ID and password that were originally used to activate the phone.

Skipping songs and then erasing everything. Please Help
My iPod had been having this problem for a few weeks, but I "fixed" it, and now it is happening again. I have an ipod 40gb touch wheel, and what its doing is I restored my ipod, using 2005.09.06, and then I put all my t4racks back into it through itunes. But, after a day to a week, it will start scrolling through all the songs, never playing any of them, and then go back to the menu. I tried to reset it (play/menu buttons together), and it erased all my tracks. This has happened a couple of times.
Can anyone please help me?Infuriating, isn't it?
I have the same problem with my 3rd generation iPod. I also "fixed" it, or so I thought, but then the problem returned after awhile. I hate to tell you this, but I really don't think there is a fix for this problem. I've tried all of the recommended "solutions," but none of them worked for very long. I don't think there is anything the matter with my iPod I think the latest firmware update is responsible - others think so too. Did you recently update the firmware for your iPod?

Trying to sync ipod with itunes library, but I keep getting this message, " The ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this i tunes library?"
I do not want to erase my ipod!!! Any suggestions?? please help!Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
PLEASE HELP ME.This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

Please help! I erased my Macbook Pro on Find My Mac.
Hello, I purchased a refurbished Macbook Pro in December 2012. Fast forward to September 2013, my hard drive crashed (lost everything) and was forced to bring it to the store to replace the hard drive. Picked up my laptop this last Saturday and it was in brand new factory condition (had to set it up like the first time). As I am setting up my Macbook on my Find My Phone app on my phone, I was a bit confused because the pre-hard drive crash Macbook was under my list of devices and I chose to Erase it because I thought I was removing it from the list (very stupid). Well apparently, pre-hard drive crash Macbook and new hard drive Macbook turns out to be the same one and I completely erased all factory settings from my laptop. Since I was sans laptop for 2 weeks at the Apple Store, I decided to re-install the Mountain Lion as per the instructions of start up since I did not have anything saved other than a couple of profile settings, etc. Once installed, everything seemed fine, but when I come to use it today, I am missing a ton of applications that originally came with my Macbook, iPhoto, Garageband to name a few. I need help as I do not want to pay for all these apps that came with my laptop originally, btw they cost $14.99+. Also, my flash player doesn't work, I can't view an online PDF menu for a restaurant for example. I have a scheduled appointment at the Genius Bar this week, but I am afraid how long that is going to take. Please help!! Thanks
The genius bar appointment is the easy way to get things restored. You can try yourself by opening the App Store, sign in by clicking Store on the menu bar, and the select Prurchases. See if your iLife applications show up. If they do, download each of them.

Hello,
I've done an ample amount of Internet research to find an answer to this problem however nothing yet found is quite like this. I will start from the beginning.
I am traveling through Europe, and I normally live in California. When I arrived in Ireland my MBP early 2011 15 inch, began crashing constantly when I had several tabs open on Chrome and maybe one or two low CPU/Memory using applications, nothing the 8gb RAM &750gb hard drive can't normally handle. Thus I began trouble shooting. I ran disk utility once started up and repaired both disk and permissions. Still crashing. It didn't seem like it had anything to do with a kernel panic shut down, I never would receive the usual message indicating so. After that I did an SMC reset. It was still crashing. I then upgraded the OSX from 10.8 to 10.8.4 believing it could help. It did momentarily, but then crash again. (When it crashes screen goes black suddenly and upon pressing power button does a regular boot on my single partition). I decided attempting to repair using the Internet recovery option but it appeared my MBP had not yet have it installed, so I downloaded from Apple and began installing. Here I made a mistake, I unplugged the power source as it was restarting. When the gray screen and apple appeared, the loading bar shows up as it says it will when installing the update, but when the bar fully loads it crashes every time. I've tried starting in safe mode, which then loads but never goes further (I let it stand for two hours such as that and nothing). Then I decided to allow the MBP to fully charge overnight to give it time and charge. This morning the problem has stayed the same, even with power source plugged in. Please help I need this to work.
Thank you and please ask any questions!Your constant crashing problem is probably some type of hardware fault which no update can fix. Doing the 10.8.4 update and then the firmware update just caused further problems. you need to take thr system to a apple store to be diagnosed and fixed if cost effective.

On the new computer, I am getting a message that my all purchases would be deleted if I sync it with new iTunes library.

I just erased all my contacts on accident while trying to fix an ical syncing problem. Please help!
Hello There,
I have NO idea what just happened. I am trying to stay calm here. Please help.
I have been trying to fix the fact that my iphone calendar isn't sending info to my ical on my MacBook Pro. I followed some instructions I found in a forum and then unplugged my phone haphazardly by not ejecting it from iTunes... I just pulled it off the cord and all my contacts erased in a blink of an eye. Here's the instructions I followed. Please tell me how I can get them back! Can I call AT&T? BTW... the instructions didn't fix the ical problem either.
(These are the instructions I tried from http://iphonewriter.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues.h tml) I added my own sidenote in Bold.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
***When I re-opened ical nothing was gone but I followed the following steps anyways.***
5. Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
6. Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
7. Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.
MacBook Pro OSX.6.8 and iPhone 3GS
Message was edited by: Shelby LeighHi,
Can't you restore your iPhone via iTunes and use the "restore from last backup". I know when I has my phone replaced this copied all my contacts (from my last sync)back to my phone.
Hope that helps
