Re-installing Mac OS X after deleting quicktime, please help!
Hello everyone, big problem on my hands, if anyone can help, i will send karma, and whatever you guys want... So this is what happened, i downloaded the new Quicktime, and of course it screw itself up during upload, and my quicktime was messed up, so i deleted quicktime, and now its worse cause i cant re-install it, and when i try to re-install tiger, the disk ejects itself instead of loading, so basically there isnt anything i can do, or is there?
Ive tried inserting the re-install disk and it just ejects it. Someone help, cause i cant even use some basic apps, that i need... What can i do?
I am running 10.4.10, 1.42 mac mini 1g Ram. Combo drive.
How exactly did you 'delete quicktime'?
What do you mean when you say the install disk is ejected? How are you trying to use it?
Will your Mac start up normally? If so, what happens when you insert the installer disk?

Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html -

Elements on my Mac wont work after trying CS4, please help.
Elements will not work now. I had installed a trial version of Photoshop CS4 and it shut down Elements. I have now uninstalled the CS4 programs and am trying to reinstall Elements. It is asking me to put the CS4 disc in the complete the Elements installation. Does anyone know why it would ask me to do this? I really dont want the CS4 back on, as I do not want to purchase the program.
If you DO NOT have any other Adobe applications installed, you could try the following steps for a clean uninstallation:
1. Delete PSE folder from /Application folder
2. Delete Adobe folder from /Library/Application Support/ Location
3. Go to /Applications/Utilities location and delete Adobe Utilities folder and Adobe Installers folder.
4. Go to /Library/Logs folder and delete Adobe folder
5. Go to /Users/Library/Application Support/ and delete the Adobe folder
6. Go to Finder and click on Go -> Go To Folder and enter /tmp as folder name. This is a hidden folder and delete all the contents from this folder.
Now try installing again. -
Can't install mac os x after placing new ssd
Hello,
i have an original macbook air (13 inch). I was working properly untill it got stuck on the white screen with apple logo while booting. It did restart in recovery but i wanted to fix the problem so i went to my local apple authorized reseller and asked them for help. they told me that my hard disc / ssd was probably broken and if i would, they could replace it. I decided to not let them replace/repair it because for a 5 year old laptop is wasnt worth the money. But
now the macbook is just laying around so i ordered a new ssd, replaced it with the old one after watching some howto-videos. The ssd works.
So with the new ssd installed, i connect my superdrive, put in my mountain lion cd and try to boot. I takes a very long time to boot up, but after 15/20 minutes i am able to choose my language and continue. after that, i am able to open disc utility and format the new ssd the right way. then i go back to the installer, i choose where to install mac os x and then it starts loading, this takes another 5 minutes or so, and after that it starts installing. it says 29 minutes remaining, for about a minute. after that it says Mac os x installation failed, cant install mac os x.
i tought, after replacing the ssd, my macbook would be working again. How is it possible that i cant install mac os x?
Can anyone please help?

There is a problem with the activation process between your machine and Apple to verify your machine is allowed to reinstall OS X.
You will have to call AppleCare to resolve this issue. (even if you did't purchase AppleCare you still call their number)

Another method is to take it back to the AppleStore you purchased the machine at. -

Unable to find bootcamp in control panel after upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.8, please help.
Unable to find bootcamp after upgrade tp Mac OS X 10.6.8, please help.
you problem is in OS X (guessing here)
Guess #2: you use an NTFS driver in Mac OS X
Try OS X forum? No?
When you do reboot into Windows - use Option key for one - and go to Windows Control Panel: Boot Camp: the Startup Disk section to change the default OS is there and works.
It isn't "boot camp" it is Windows. Boot Camp are drivers, control panel, program to partition. What you wanted to see was "Windows" OS to change the default.
Do you 'see' Windows volume on the Desktop as being physically there?
Opened Disk Utility and look at the drives and volumes: Windows volumne is still present. -

trying to veiw videos from a website that requires me to download firefox and silverlight.My imac osx 10.5.8 will now download firefox. firfx tells me my mac is not compatible with ffox Please help me ? Thank you
There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
-ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
For more information, visit:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

i have a macbook circa 2007 and am trying to update my software and it says its up to date but it only has mac os x 10.5.8. please help?
The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

i drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones.... i can send them or post but nothing to delete them
The pictures that are on your phone, that you don't want, did they appear there after syncing with iTunes? Or were they taken with the iphone's camera?
Pictures synced from iTunes have to be removed by syncing again, but not having those pictures checked under the Photos tab in iTunes. -
