Reformat: I hit the "skip" option and now what? Did I screw up?

okay so the empty space was taking forever so i wanted to stop it and just do the full process all over without the 7 pass and just the single pass so i hit the "skip" button. i did that about 2 hours ago and it is still "skipping." so what have i done. did i screw something up? i just wanted to start all over. i was going to quit disk utility but it said that could cause damage. so what is going on now during this "skipping" and why is it taking so long?
if i can just get started over i will do the "single pass" and i will not just do it with the empty space...

There is nothing to start over from. If you haven't hosed your hard drive by now perhaps what you can do is stop the process and do an Erase & Install.

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

Was trying to buy more space, hit the wrong key, and now it is hanging mon my iPad. How can I get rid of it?

I was trying to buy more space on iCloud , hit the wrong key, and now it is hanging on my iPad. What to do?

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.

Lost the "Edit" option and now cannot paste. My right mouse has a glitch and I can't paste into an email which is a huge detriment. Need the old "Edit" option.

I'm a writer and rely on being able to link to various online publications I have. I used to be able to highlight the link and go to the top of Firefox, into the "Edit" section, hit "Paste" and it landed where I wanted it. I have a glitch in my ability to right click and paste so relied heavily on having the Firefox option (similar to any Word program). It's now gone and I'm lost. I just responded to an add for a writer, needed to paste in my links, and was horribly frustrated because I couldn't do it without a huge amount of irritation, going back & forth to the site, typing it in manually, etc., etc. Please tell me I can get this back...

Follow these steps:
#highlight something on a page to copy,
#click Firefox button, click small arrow/triangle to the far right of Edit, the word "Copy" should now be highlighted/darkened
#click to where you want to Paste what you just copied
#click Firefox button, click small arrow/triangle to the far right of Edit, the word "Paste" should now be highlighted/darkened
NOTE: you can always highlight, then use Ctrl+C to Copy, click where you want to paste, use Ctrl+V to paste. Those are standard Windows keyboard shortcuts for Copy and Paste..

How do i get the "open with" option back for pdfs after accidentally hitting the save option which now automatically saves any pdf?

Normally when I click on a pdf I would get an option to "Open With" or Save. I usually just opened pdfs first. I accidentally clicked on the Save option in this dialog box and now when I click on any pdf it automatically asks me where I want to save it. I want to get the "open With" option back, because I don't necessarily want to save a copy of every pdf.

Mountain Lion was released in 2012, so I suppose there might be advice in old threads or on the Apple forums if you don't get a response here right away.

Airport Extreme: Internet working when directly from modem to computer, but not when using airport extreme. i have hit the reset pin and now do not know what to do.

Using Airport Extreme:
- Internet working when directly from modem to computer
- Internet NOT working when modem is connected to AE
- Internet NOT working when modem is connected to AE and AE is connected to computer
- I have hit the reset pin
Now what do I do?
(in advance - lots of love to anyone who helps out)

What sort of Internet connection do you have and who is your Internet Service Provider?
What is the make and model number of your modem?

HT1414 I updated to new ios and i accidently hit the restore button and now i have old pictures and text messages on my phone is there anyway to get my info back on my phone that i had before the update?

I was updating to the current iso6 and forgot to click new phone in I-tunes when updating instead i clicked restore and now I have old info on my phone and all my current info is gone is there any way to get that info back.

Setting up as "new" will set the device as if it were just taken out of the box. This certainly would not restore any content that was on the device.
Sounds like what you want is to simply restore to a more recent backup. You did backup the device prior to updating correct? If you did not, it's unlikely that you can get the content back.

I am on a dating site, andI right click on a picture and clicked on the wrong option, and now I can't see my pictures, or another picture when I click on it.

OK...I am on this site, I clicked on a picture and then right clicked on it...after reading my options when a box came up...I clicked " block images " from the site...I really didn't mean to block the images...How can I unblock the images...I even blocked all of my pictures from me seeing them...but someone else on the site can see them...because they are still there to them, but not to me...

With the site on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button]) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.
