My MacBook Air lost mac os x. So I would like to reinstall mac os. But I can't select the disk to install mac os x. Only Recovery HD is shown and I can't select it. How can I reinstall my Mac os x? Thank you!
you can download the mac os x recovery hd and run the setup to a flash drive using another mac computer running os x 10.7,(so that while installation the os x setup can varify your computer's serial no. and provide you the installation setup through internet)
or the time machine backup(if you have)
Now boot through the flash drive and follow the steps to install mac os x
here is the link to download the recovery hd for flash drive

Thank you very much for your help.
To eject the Disc try holding Mouse button down when powering up.
Does the Disk show up in Disk Utility?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4

It stays on the blue screen forever until I manually shut it down
Cooper, please start a new thread. You'll get a wider audience and won't confuse Quintonaturner with issues that don't pertain to them. You don't know they have Office. Many Mac users don't. http://www.neooffice.org is a nice alternative, and so is http://docs.google.com/ as long as you don't have Exchange servers that aren't Mac OS X Mail compatible.

How to uninstall and reinstall mac os x...corrupt files...help!
i recently got a macbook pro to use for my photography and music and such, but i have never had a mac before and i'm used to pcs. i think a virus may have gotten on my computer because a couple days ago i went to upload a cd into itunes and i noticed that none of the songs i uploaded played. they showed up in the player but didn't actually play. so i restarted itunes and it said that my library was corrupt and that it had created a new one. the same thing happened in aperture. i exported some pictures from aperture to a file on my computer, and the pictures were there but half of them wouldn't display. so i restarted my computer, and aperture said it had to recover my folders, but it only recovered the folders that came with aperture...all of my library folders were gone. so i tried to import files from my computer into the aperture library and aperture just closed. this is actually the only way aperture will close--once it is open i have to force quit or just try to import files. since i have never worked with macs before the only way i can see to solve this problem is to burn all of my music and pictures to rewritable dvds (because those are the only files i really need) and then uninstall and reinstall mac os x. but i don't really know how to do this. any suggestions?
baltwo, you hung a couple of commas on the first two links making them non-functional, you may want to edit?

After reinstalling MAC OS 10.6.8, I config the permissions to read/write/no access, my MacMini [mid 2010] refuses to reboot. I tried to reboot in safe mode with Command+S and fsck, but after the steps to be taken, it says fscs not done, root device is read only. I also tried to bypass the Mac firmware password by taking one Ram card out and reboot the macmini while holding COMMAND+OPTION+P+R. But no luck. The macmini is not able to see the mac OSX installation CD.

How and where did you change which permissions? And what was the goal?
Do you have a complete backup of your system? and more importantly data files?
What happened that prompted the need to reinstall the 10.6.8 update?
The immediate road forward would be to boot from the optical drive and revert the changes you made.
What happens when you boot with the install cd and hold down C or hold down the option key?
[Off topic: I've been to Leiden a few times ] -
I removed from my computer macbook, mac app store, and now I want to reinstall with "software update" but doesn´t appareance
Hola, buen dia, Ignacio. Saludos desde México.
To get the Mac App Store back you will need to manually download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo;
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
It is safe to install this over your current installation of 10.6.7. It will reinstall the Mac App Store, as well as fill in any gaps that your installation my have. It is a common troubleshooting step.

I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd
Hello, I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd. After restart, I hold C but either eject cd or doesn't read and computer boots up normally. I even ordered a new pack of installation cd, but still the same problem. Is there anybody can help me fixing this issue, because my Macbook pro has lots of software problem and when I spoke to tech, they said it needs to reformat and reinstall the OSX to solve all my problems. Please help me to reinstall my OSX!
Possible solutions:
You need to hold the c key down before booting
You need to use the built in keyboard, you have other hardware connected
You need the machine specific 10.6.4+ disks for that machine, the retail 10.6.3 disks won't work
There is a firmware password on the machine preventing the at boot key command functions
Try the option key for Startup Manager to boot from the disk, right after the "bong"
Your Superdrive lense is dirty or not operating, other hardware issues
You have malware of some sort -

iTunes is not the Mac App Store.
In your dock it would be this icon:

Need to erase hard drive and reinstall system on iMac but have misplaced original install disks. Tried to use a my copy of Snow lepord 10.6 from my Mac Pro but will not boot. Can original install disks be replaced. Thanks
Yes the original Install Discs can be replaced for a nominal fee. Call AppleCare, you will need a credit card and the serial number of the machine. You can use the AppleCare Contact Info for the phone number on your part of the planet.

Downloaded this game, "Where's My Water 2" and before I can even start it asks for my age but freezes and wont move. I've rebooted, turned off, removed and reinstalled and it still wont work but on all my previous iPhones it worked fine.
Sorry if I sound stupid but how do I contact the developer? Where would I find that information?

Hello Ashik, I received a message few days ago, telling me that my iCloud account would be downloaded to 5GB by Sept. 30. Until here everything is ok. But since that day I can´t receive any email in my iCloud account. Randomely appears a message that says that I´m using more of space than it´s allowed to use for backups, etc. When I check my info in the account settings, it says that I have 3.9 GB free, I dont understand what´s going on here, What should I do? h
Hi JavaBrat,
I'm assuming that you only use Yahoo mail on the web and not through a mail client, such as Outlook or Thunderbird?
Also, make sure all of your Yahoo emails are going directly to the Yahoo inbox and not to sub folders or junk folders. Only the inbox will be delivered to your BlackBerry.
If the above doesn't help, feel free to send me your PIN via Private Message so that I can see if there are any issues on our side with your account integration.
Thanks!

I have a corrupt jpeg on my desktop. It has duplicated itself 450,000 times freezing my finder. I have reinstalled 10.6.8 but not freed up the desktop. I have managed to delete the corrupt jpeg from a shared imac but cannot delete the duplicates. Any ideas
This can be done from Single User Mode. You're going to need a little nerve though since everything is command line based.
1) Enter Single User Mode by restarting and holding down Command+S on the keyboard. A whole bunch of UNIX stuff will go by on the screen in white text on a black background. When it's done, the command prompt will be sitting at:
:/root#
2) Above that, you'll see that it tells you to enter two commands. Run this one first by typing it in and pressing enter:
/sbin/fsck/ -fy
This does a system file check. A good thing to do in your case as it may be damaged. It could take a while. When it's done, you'll be back at the :/root# prompt.
3) Enter the second command and press enter:
/sbin/mount -uw /
4) Type the following at the prompt:
cd /Users/name/Desktop
Where it says "name" above, the short name of your user account goes there. If you're not sure what it is, first type:
cd /Users
Then type:
ls
That's a lower case L, not a one. It stands for "list". You'll get a listing of all files and folders in the Users folder. So if your short account name is diane, then the command will be:
cd /Users/diane/Desktop
After entering that command, the prompt should read:
:Desktop root#
Type:
rm *.jpg
Be very careful to type is exactly as shown. rm followed by a space, then *.jpg. Press enter and all files ending in .jpg will be deleted from the Desktop folder. With 450,000 of them, you could be waiting a while for the prompt to come back.
Type:
exit
and press enter to boot back into OS X. -
