If your are using a wireless mouse, a mouse icon should appear asking you to turn the mouse on so that the computer can discover it.
Select a language, then press the right arrow key.
Click the Utilities menu, the choose Disk Utility.
Select a volume to erase (usually called Macintosh HD).
Click the Erase tab.

A dialog box appears asking if you want to erase the partition: click Erase.
After the partition is erased, choose Quit Disk Utility from the Disk Utility menu.

I have an iPad 2 and so does my mom. We both have the app Slotomania and now all of sudden after having it for months, our games connected and we don't know how to fix it. Deleting it and reinstalling does not work.
Does the app now use iCloud, do you use iCloud and do the two of you use the same account on iCloud?
Just a guess. -
I have a license of the PARTY 11, recently expired, to find out what was going on I have PSE 11 uninstalled. Reinstall does not work because the license has expired. Can I purchase the upgrade version of PSE 12 now or should I buy a full program?
Ok thank you, I better can wait then.

Windows error: iTunes crashes (uninstall and reinstall does not work)
Hello all.
I (and another user) have had a problem with iTunes crashing when trying to open it. Windows just generates the typical vague error message that explains nothing as to what the problem is. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not work, and using the "Repair" option did not work either.
This was the solution. Hope it works for you. Cheers.
C ;o)
Here are the steps, some might be redundant, but still follow them to try and get iTunes to work.
1. *Extremely important* Close the QuickTime launcher in the tray on the right side of your Windows TaskBar (right-click on the blue QuickTime "Q" logo next to where you have the time and date and select "exit".) The QuickTime logo should disappear from the tray.
2. Go to where your iTunes library folder is, copy it and put it elsewhere on yoour hard-drive. This is where you asked your iTunes to point to and keeps the full repository of the files sync'ed to your iPod. If you don't do this, you will have to re-create the full library of all the music and files you have put into iTunes.
3. Unistall iTunes and reboot your PC.
4. Go to c:\Program Files\Quicktime and delete this whole folder.
5. Go to c:\Windows\System 32 and: delete the Quicktime FOLDER there; then (ii) scroll down and delete all other QuickTime related files (there should be 5-10 of them, I didn't count, some will have a name like QuickTMvr whatever).
6. Empty Recycle Bin.
7. Reboot your PC.
8. Go back to Apple Website and download: iTunes, and (ii) QuickTime installation only (without iTunes).
9. Install QuickTime FIRST (use newly downloaded version)! Check it works OK by opening it.
10. Close QuickTime lanucher from tray, as explained above in step 1.
11. Install iTunes (use the newly downloaded version).
12. Open iTunes. If it opens fine (clap your hands and say "hurray", and actually I said out loud to my PC, "Please work" and it did - I don't know if this step helped at all. ;o) ), then close iTunes FIRST BEFORE DOING THE NEXT STEP. Go to where the new iTunes (and library) folder is, rename the new iTunes folder (as you might notice when/if you open iTunes, that it is all blank), and copy the old iTunes folder (from step 2) to the same location. Re-open iTunes. It should be the way it opened the last time.Btw.
Don't forget that, from my experience, most iTunes errors comes from malfunctioning instances of QuickTime. -
Firefox application starts IE instead, can't open Firefox in anyway! Reinstalation does not work.
Today I was browsing regular wallpaper webistes, and suddently my Firefox crashed, and opened IE to its home page. After this, in every way I tried to execute Firefox, I got IE opened instead. I ran a full virus scan, got some trojans wiped out, but the problem continued. Tried restarting, and finally reinstalling FF, but none of it worked. Never seen anything like this, anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks in advanceDo you still have a Firefox desktop shortcut?
You can also check if Firefox is still installed.
Firefox installation folder:
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
Also check the setting of the default browser.
See:

Really nervous. Can't get any of the support instructions to work. Error occurred while installing mountain lion upgrade from 10.6.8. PLEASE HELP!
I know I'll be checking for responses all night. ThanksAssuming Mountain Lion did not install, you'll need to boot up from your Snow Leopard DVD (by holding down the C key while you reboot).
Once you've booted from the DVD (be patient, it's not exactly lightning fast!), you'll want to go to Utilities --> Disk Utility...and run Repair Disk.
The problem you're seeing is that there's something not right with your MacBook Pro's hard drive, and Repair Disk cannot be run on the same volume you booted from.
If Repair Disk was run successfully when you booted from the Snow Leopard DVD, and you see indications that whatever was wrong was corrected, you can now boot back up again from the MacBook Pro's hard drive. Once you're up and running on the internal hard drive, try installing Mountain Lion again. -
Since version 21 was downloaded, I can't download anything without Firefox crashing. It never comes up and I have to close everything out. I've tried resetting (4 times) and reinstalling. This has been going on for over a month and I'm about to just give up on the software entirely after years.
There is no solution to this on the forums at allWe're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash (I have assumed you are running .Windows, if not, let us know).
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article. -
Archival reinstall does not work
I am trying to do an archival reinstall (OS 10.3.9)
But when i try to do this starting up with my Os 10.3.5 installation disk, I get a black screen with all sorts of garbage & a notice:
"You need to restart your computer. Hold down on the power button for several seconds or press the restart button"
Whereinhell is the "restart Button?"
When i " hold down" on the ony "power button" that I know of, the computer simply shuts down & I am back to square 1.
I am about ready to buy a Windows machine!What worked? Archive & Install or the troubleshooting solutions mentioned in the 2nd link I provided in my initial response?
If you did an A&I did you select "preserve user preferences and data" when you performed the A&I?
Did you check the Previous System folder for items you may need?
Safari & GC updated to your current OS system?
Have you run fsck?
See Knowlege Base Articles:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214 Using Disk Utility and fsck to resolve startup issues or perform disk maintenance
If still having problems running Safari, suggest that you cross-post over in the Safari for Mac Forums where the Safari users hang out. -
I tried to install iTunes 10.6.1 for Windows (64 bit) and it says "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404). I have tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling and it still does not work. I then restored my computer to a week ago and tried to download and install the update and this came up again.

I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all. I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either. Help!
Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion. I've done all that. I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password. I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password). My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do. His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume). We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections. They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired. Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit. My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely. The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed? I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard. I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update. Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections? -
Unable to use iTunes for about a month on my PC

prompted to update iTunes today and now it does not work. tried reinstalling and caanot successfully reinstall.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??
Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly . -
