Reinstalling OS X problem, help!

I am trying to reinstall the operating system for my Macbook, I just installed a new hard drive.
I put disc 1 in and the install screen pops up, but it will not let me select a 'destination volume to install the Mac OS X software' and the 'options' button is also gray (unavailable).
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks,
Angela

Problem solved from prior post. Firefox had become blocked somehow by McAfee firewall. Set to full access. Now works perfectly.

Itunes keeps closing as soon as i open it and states 'windows has detected a problem' HELP!!!!

Help!! Itunes keeps closing straight away and message states 'windows has detected a problem' HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

I use CS5 and all of a sudden I am getting a notification that says there is an error with my icons. It's telling me to contact support or reinstall. The problem is I don't know where my disks are to re-install. Any suggestions?

doodlebug,
Am I just out of luck until I find those?
You may try Adobe Support (phone),
http://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/adobe-connect-phone-numbers.html
and talk to them about your registration, but I am unsure whether they can help you with anything pre CC (There was a Customer Care option with chat which seems to have stopped working).
If you are still out of luck, please report back, and I will try to ask someone to find the right someone to help you.

My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

Have you failed to backup your computer?
If so, then you will have to redownload.

I couldn't log into my apple account on my iPad, then i couldn't unlock it resulting in it being disabled, however it's the same as my iPhones password, I then called apple, i was hung up on twice and they said it will cost £70 to fix THEIR problem, help?

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

IPad syncing problem - HELP!

iPad sync problem - HELP! I keep getting this message "...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional ...space needed)" and yet I seem to have plenty of space on the iPad. This just started today. I even tried deleting some things to make even more room, but it didn't help. Any ideas???
I was thinking of restoring, but I've never done it... should I?
thank you!

Thanks.

I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.
Thanks

MOVED: KT333 Ultra; fuzzy logic, 1.6xp overclocking problem help !!!!!

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
KT333 Ultra; fuzzy logic, 1.6xp overclocking problem help !!!!!

Not that I am an expert o/c but here are some thoughts on the matter.
My comments are based on my experiences of the KT3 Ultra2 which is basically the same as the Ultra version.
This mobo does not have the ability to lock the PCI/AGP bus freely from the FSB. However, it does have dividers. At 133 a 1/4 divider kicks in. Above 152FSB the 1/5 divider works, so that at 166 the PCI & AGP buses will be back in sync. If you are o/c your cpu, don't go from 133 to 145, etc since you will be running the PCI/AGP buses further out of whack. Just go to either the mid 150's or to 166 in one jump. The other problem / issue relates to your cpu. From what you say you have one of the old Palominos which are not great o/c's. I would personally o/c your cpu from the BIOS rather than 'Fluffy Logic' which I would tend to stay away from.
With a 166FSB cpu a very stable o/c would be 175-177 beyond 180 gets decidedly tricky.
Hope this helps

From your iPad, simply open up the "App Store" and select the "Purchased" tab, which is the second icon from the right on the bottom within the App Store. There will be a list of all of the apps you have downloaded. Navigate throughout this list until you find the app.
