Recieved my iMac 27 inch back from Apple with a blank Hard drive

Need to reinstall os10.7 on my reformatted 27 iMac, that I just got back from apple repair, how is that done whith out installation disks?

Take back to Apple Repair.  Be polite, but firm, in your desire to have a functioning system.
After it is working, then get a self-powered external drive, and make a CarbonCopyClone *bootable* backup of your system.  That way the Genius Bar can send it back anytime they want blank and you will have no issues.

  • Move movies from apple tv to external hard drive

    I recently had a hard drive fail containing a bunch of home movies and shorts I created with my friends. Luckily I converted them for apple tv through iTunes but was wondering if there is any way to take them from apple tv and put them back on iTunes?

    purchased stuff (even if the price is $0) yes you can transfer it back to iTunes onces, rented stuff yes you can tranfer it back and forth (can only exist in on location at a time) ... but i haven't seen a way to get your personal stuff back off of the appleTV..
    even so, once the stuff gets transferred to iTunes it gets treated like all the other stuff and you can't take it off the appleTV on demand...
    you have managed to sync say a song or a movie from computer to the appleTV... delete it off of you hard drive and and get it off your appleTV? that's what the OP wants to do... if so, how did you do it? as far as i know you can't unless you take out the appleTV hard drive, mount it and take the stuff off... or ssh to your appleTV.

  • I am unable to export photos from Apple to an external hard drive

    I am very frustrated in the process of trying to export photos from Apple to my external hardrive.   Please help!

    I am sorry.... I am trying to export my photos from iPhoto Version 9.2.1 to my external Western Digital Drive.  Everything seems to go along smoothly until I receive the box stating

  • Booting from clone with malfunctioning internal hard drive

    I have a MBP 15" core 2 duo 3,1, OS 10.6.8. I am getting sudden instant shutdowns without warning signs.
    It has been suggested to me that this is a hard drive on the way out.
    I've cloned the internal drive to an external drive Firewire 800 connected.
    I have 2 partitions on the external drive. The clone and a clean install of 10.6.8.
    I've tried booting from the clean install but am still experiencing sudden shutdowns.
    My question is if the internal drive mounts but then experiences problems while I am booted into my fresh install on the external drive can that cause a shutdown? I had assumed that this would not be the case but now am not so sure.

    Well it seems to be a hardware issue of some sort, it's likely not software related as it occurs on the externals even with a fresh install.
    It could be the internal drive, but you won't know until you disconnect it and boot from the externals.
    If it's something else, at least you got a clone off.
    Try a hardware test

    That's the best we can do from here, you'll have to open her up and place pressure on things to make sure they are snug and a secure connection, perhaps disconnect the internal hard drive cable and see if your problem continue.

  • It seems like I just missed the interval for the hard disk replacement program. I purchased in March 2009 a 24 inch Intel iMac . How much does it cost to have apple support at an Apple Store replace a hard drive?

    My hard drive continually has the floating beach ball and will take massive time to fulfill a request. And then will not boot up...so then I have to do a restore and rebuild hard drive from a past saved time machine version. Works for a little bit...then the floating beachball comes more and more...until it will not boot up again. So then I restore from a previous time machine saved version....and again it works for a day or so ... until it happens again. Now it's happening faster and faster...so I think my hard drive is dying.

  • HT1338 my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update.  It crashes every time I try to do an update.  I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple.

    my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update.  It crashes every time I try to do an update.  I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple.  Also it does not matter what I am trying to update, the operating system, and application, each caused the same crash.   This mac book is less than a month old.

    That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed).  Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

  • I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) and now my microphone is not working

    I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) 3 days ago, I had a terrible experience as the genious who gave me my solid state disk for safekeeping lost my disk's brackets thus I had to wait 2 more hours until they find one after 10 days of waiting for the repair. I noticed some weird sounds, like somehting is moving with the mac 1-2 times, even if I have no mechanical parts other than the fans, but my real issue at the moment is that my microphone is not working. I can see the mic in the System Info however and in Audio Midi Setup. In the Audio Midi Setup I see that the master chanel is turned off and I can't turn in on. Ch 1 and 2 are on full. I also noticed the first seconds after the comp. boots the blue bar goes to the middle in the System Preferences -> Sound -> Input. Any ideas what to do or try? I do not want to go back to the apple store as it is 50 minutes away from here and I need my laptop as a computer science student. Everything else is working perfectly.

    You need to call both the store that did the repair and Apple directly, warranty service or Apple care, and report this problem with both of them and get a ticket number of some kind (some kind of verification number) that the unit just came back from major service with this problem and that you want it fixed when you can lose the use of it, which is not right now.
    Without doing something like that they could easily say it is damage not covered under the normal warranty.
    God knows what the repair center did and did not do to it while it was there.
    And depending on when you actually bought it the warranty could run out in the mean time.

  • I just got my Mac back from Apple repair and I can't burn a disc. What do I need to do to make that happen?

    I just got my Mac back from Apple repair and I can't burn a disc. What do I need to do to make that happen?

    Hello deneye2112,
    Thank you for providing the details of the burning issue you are experiencing.  I found some resources that I think might help:
    First, I recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac (I wasn't sure if you had a removable battery or a built in battery, so I listed the steps for both):
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your ownNote: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    You can find the full article here:

    If you are still having trouble with burning after that step, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following article:

  • IMac 10.5.8 is stuck on Apple logo loading screen , how can I back up my files with an external hard drive ?

    so my iMac (10.5.8 its pretty old ) got stuck on the apple logo loading screen (as I call it lol) and it will not go beyond that .I've already made and appointment for the genius bar but now would I back up my files with an external hard drive ? No unfortunately I don't have any other laptop or computer just the external hard drive. how would I back it up? Does it have something to do with "target disc mode"?

    Hi,
    Thank you for great advice re SuperDuper.
    You wasnt to know we didnt live in  USA.  We will try to get the full retail version of Leopard off the net.  We will also phone round the apple resellers.
    In the meantime, we are happy running Tiger with the knowledge that SuperDuper has cloned our hard drive in case of a disaster.
    SuperDuper recommended backing up the hard drive with a new user account if we were using filevault on the master account.  We backed up our hard drive without creating a new user with filevault as we could not read the pdf `Instuctions as preview was not responding.
    Is this copy safe to use as a bootable drive or should we copy our entire HD again using a new user account without filevault?

  • Recent convert to Apple. Previously, I backed up my family pictures from PC to an external hard drive,  a WD MyBook 3T. I can view the pics on my Macbook Pro, but I can't add new pictures. I'm sure this is a format issue, any easy way to correct it?

    Install NTFS 3G
    http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
    If you were going to be reading and writing to a NTFS System Partition, you might have to worry about the instability messing up the operating system.  However, you are reading/writing from a non system, backup device so you don't have to worry about screwing up an operating system.
    I would still temporarily move my data to another device and reformat the drive for Mac OS X Extended.

  • I got my iPhone back from apple to day for a repair and has no screws

    I got my iPhone 5 back from apple today I sent it in for a repair cause the touch stopped working and I got it back with no screws  I'm over it

    Well your phone isn't screwed?  Take it back to apple and have them repair it by adding the missings screws.  Perhaps the technician had a bad hair day.

  • I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to send a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV.  Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

    I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to stream a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV
    Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.
