Recovery Partition missing on Mac HD with OSX Mavericks

When the Mac HDD/SSD was erased from the Mavericks Installer, rather than the Recovery Partition being upgraded to Mavericks, it was instead erased, and because the installer was meant to upgrade the Recovery Parittion, rather than create a Recovery Partition, it proceeded with the installation of Mavericks, omitting the update to the Recovery Parition, because at this point it had already been removed. The good news is, this is exactly one of the reasons we now offer Internet Reocvery as an additonal installation Option.
To enter internet Reocvery, press and hold “Option”, “Command” and the letter “R” while your computer boots up. Keep holding those three keys,until you see a progress indicator. It migght take a few minutes for Recovery to Load, but when it does, you will be asked to select a language to proceed, than you will be brought to OS X Utilties. From here, just follow the steps below to re-add Recovery to your Mac:
1. Select Disk Utility, then click Continue.
2. Select your SSD disk on the left, then click the Erase tab.
3. Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the Format menu, enter a name, then click Erase.
4. After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
5. Select Reinstall OS X, click Continue, then follow the onscreen instructions.
After following these steps, and allowing OS X to reinstall, you will be able to activate Find My Mac, and FileVault as needed!

what software do I need to play movies on my Mac Pro with Intel based
You need Boot Camp with a suitable Windows version and playback software compatible with bot your Windows version and your BluRay drive.
There is no solution for Mac OS X.
Tip: This is the iMovie forum. iMovie is for editing your *home movies*.

    Mac Pros don't support Airplay.  Only some post 2011 Macs do, MAc Pros aren't amongst them.

    You could try Airparrot software as a workaround.

    I have an old Mac G5 with OSX 10.5.8
    After a crash of my HD, I reinstalled the CS3.
    At the time of recording I get a window with the message "COMPLETED REGISTRATION" and under "There was a problem sending the informasioni via internet" and still under three choices to "send back" and "records in a second time "or" never record "and I continue to choose the latter option.
    Another problem is that in Bridge (version 2.0.0.975) I can no longer see thumbnails of RAW files from my Canon 40D that I saw before.
    Should I upgrade ACR? which is the latest version supported on my Mac?

    i lost my recovery partition for hp dv6 63300ee, with windows 7 home,, what can i do to back it?

    Hi,
    This assumes that Windows 7 was the original OS that your notebook came with.
    If you created a set of Recovery Discs you can use these to reinstall the original OS - they will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive as well as reinstalling all your original software.  Remember this is a destructive process, so back up any personal files etc that you wish to keep before reinstalling the Operating System.
    If you don't have your original Recovery Discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

    If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

  • Can't install Flash Player on Mac with OSX Mavericks

    Hi I have a MacBook Pro with OSX Mavericks and I have tried to install then uninstall the Flash Player and each time a box pops up and says the application quit unexpectely. I hvae tried this several times with no luck. Any suggestions?

    That's because Chrome has its own proprietary Flash Player embnedded by Google. There are instructions for a thorough "clean install" here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084 if the regular clean install won't work.

  • My Keynote does not work on my MacBook Pro with OsX Mavericks. It opens though, but then is stuck, menu does not react. What to do?

    I have Keynote 6.1 and run it on a MacBookPro with OsX Mavericks. I can start Keynote, but I cant access the menu, it is stuck. What to do?

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2  restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
    3  immediately after the start chime,  press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
             let it fully boot up,  it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive  then First Aid tab and      click  repair disc permissions
    5  when complete, restart the Mac normally
    6  install Keynote from the Mac App Store, it will be updated to the latest verion which is 6.2
    let us know if this helped.

  • Compatibility with OSX Mavericks

    Is Adobe Creative Suite 5 compatible with the new Mac operating system, OSX Mavericks?

    You can upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

    Same question answered here : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5762314?tstart=0
    I just popped in with using Mavericks (I got rid of my MBP about a year ago, and just got another one when I got an Air for my wife) and noticed that Mavericks is not working and playing well with a couple of programs I already owned (Paraellels, for example...yes, I spelled it wrong...).  I looked for maginon.com and it didn't exist, nor was my google search directed to another location for them, so I postulate that the device may not be in production anymore, thus: no driver updates from the manufacturer.
    From my mac-noob-layman's perspective: get some vmware, run windows and use the scanner in your virt machine to capture your images.  Put the images in your mac side and work your mac magic on them there.
    Peace

  • I had a Tascam US 122 usb interface, but it didn't work with OSX Mavericks. What model would work with this? Would the US-144 mkii work with my system?

    I had a Tascam US 122 usb interface, but it didn't work with OSX Mavericks. What model would work with this? Would the US-144 mkii work with my system?
    Thanks!

    You didn't mention the kind of track in GB you are trying to create, but if you are connecting the keyboard with a guitar chord to the Tascam, you will need to set up a Real Instrument Track in GB to hear anything. If your keyboard has a midi out, use a midi cable to the midi input of the Tascam, create Software Instrument Track, and you will hear something. But with a guitar chord, it won't send the right signal to a Software Instrument Track. The headphone jack in the Tascam monitors the signal coming back to it out of GB (if you choose the US-122 as your monitor in GB's preferences), so you wouldn't hear your keyboard if the track is not set up correctly. It could be the drivers, but since you didn't mention the type of keyboard or the type of GB track, I thought that might be a possible answer as well.

  • I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys.  What's really weird is that happens randomly.  I've never spilled anything on it

    I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys.  What's really weird is that happens randomly.  I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this.  Can anyone help?  of course this happened after my warranty expired.

    **update**
    I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose.  In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!).  Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind.  I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store.  But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working. 
    So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off.  Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
    Hopefully this might help someone.
