Before installing a new drive - it is generally better to install it in a external usb enclosure and connect it to your Macbook so you can format/erase the new drive and make an exact clone of the drive you wish to install, unless you plan on doing a clean install.

When i turn my computer ON the grey start up screen looks corrupted

Corrupted might be an overstatement, but when i turn my computer on the grey start up screen with the white apple logo and the loading bar appears at an inferior resolution than the screen, and it's not even well proportioned because there's a black bar on each side. I have no idea why this happens or if it's even normal, mostly because i'm a recent mac user. I have a non-retina mid 2012 15" macbook pro, 1440x900 screen.
i've also been having problems with the wi-fi connectivity. it looses connection more often than i would like, and sometimes i have a "Connection Timeout Occured", i have no idea why, but i've seen people complaining about it.
thanks

Your GPU could just be 'hiccupping' on start-up - if I were you, and since you're still under warranty, I would take the machine to your local Apple Store and have them run diagnostics to see if there's really anything wrong with the GPU.
As to your wireless problems - so many things to trace down. Start by running the "Wi-Fi Diagnostics.app" found in System>Library>Core Services and see what those reports show. It could be anything at this point.

i have an imac g4 purchased Dec 2003 runnung OS 10.5.8. It runs fine with airport off, but when I turn airport on it freezes with the black page, "restart by holding power key . . ." I swapped the airport extreme card with the one in my ibook G4 (purchased same date and running same OS). No change in operation.
I am running wifi from verizon. Recently changed from mifi2200 to jetpak 4620 in a 3G location. Ibook running fine, desktop freezes. If I can boot desktop in safe mode and get airport turned off in time. then I can reboot regularly and imac runs flawlessly with no wireless.Have run disk utilities and TechTool Pro rebuild etc, but nothing has worked. How do I fine the culprit?

the power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled.......

I was using a different itune id and now a new one but when i want to update the old app its always asking for my old app id. Is there a way to change my old app to my new id so that i dont have to use my old id.

There is no other way you can do now. Actually, you don't need to create a new Apple ID account, you can change the Apple ID from old email account to other email accout easily by all the steps below.
1, Open iTunes > iTunes Store > log in old Apple ID > Click on your apple ID on the right hand side on top > choose account > Apple ID > Edit
As long as you only change your Apple ID, then all the old apps are still under your new email account as well as you can keep downloading new apps.

If the ringtones are on the old device just plug it in and do a transfer of purchases then they will be on the computer to sync to the new device.

Jprice000 what operating system are you using? Has the Creative Cloud Desktop application worked previously?
I would recommend utilizing the steps listed in Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

How can I remove the pictures in photo stream? I have already turn off my photostream at the settings but when i turn it on again, the pictures still come out?

How can I remove the pictures in photo stream? I have already turn off my photostream at the settings but when i turn it on again, the pictures still come out?

Ok you can reset the stream from www.icloud.com
Goto www.icloud.com
Login with your iCould username and password.
and login
Then click on your name in the top right hand side of the screen next to sign out,
it opens a window Account details with Language, Time Zone, Advanced
Select Advanced - Then click Reset Photo Stream. and confirm, the stream will be reset and totally deleted
I still think you should be able to remove individual pictures though, a blured image etc is a problem

Hello, I have a MacBook Air, when I was watching a movie it started to freeze, so I turned off. But when I turn it on just the white screen appears nothing else. I looked on other websites, but the methods didn't help.

Try a Safe Mode boot ...
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.

Replace playing video with new one in osmf player

Hi,
I have a problem with loading new video in osmf player. First video is loaded from the emmbed code, and I use ProxyElement to comunicate with MediaLEment and to load my plugin. But after some actions in my plugin I need to load another video in the Player. By changing the DisplayedObject from the proxiedElement I am loading the new video but the old video from emmbed code is still runing on the back. Does anyone know how to remove mediaElement created by the player or to replace with new one, ot at least to disable that video from playing. I tried with everything and it doesn't work.
Thanks

Just received a ipad2 it is fully charged but when I turn it none or the icons show up...only itunes. It is a iPad2 wi-fi 3G .

I just received a iPad2 Wi-Fi 3G 32GB, it is fully charged but when I turn it on no icons appear except Itunes and a connect cord. What am I doing wrong?

The screen that you see is trying to tell you to connect the iPad to iTunes on your computer with the cable that came with it. ITunes will then walk you thru the setup steps. Make sure you download the latest version of iTunes before you connect your iPad.

My iPad mini is stuck on the Apple symbol. I tried a reset and it shut down. But when I turned it back on the problem persists thanks for any help

my iPad mini is stuck on the Apple symbol. I have tried a reset and it shut down. When I turned it back on, the problem persists. Thanks for any help.

If the reset doesn't help, the next step would be to restore the device to factory settings using iTunes on a computer. If you can backup the iPad first, do so and then restore to factory settings. If it all works out properly, you can restore the backup after you finish. If you didn't or can't backup, the iPad will be erased when you restore to factory settings.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
IF you can't restore that way, the next step would be to try using recovery mode.

When I start my computer my dock will not show up. help!!!!

When I start my computer only the galaxy screen shot comes up. My dock won't appear or anything else. Just an empty screen.
I have been able to get onto safari because my screen saver will eventually appear and because it's on shuffle sometimes the apple screen saver that says facts and new releases about apple products usually writes, to learn more press 3. one day I pressed 3 and it took me to safari.
I was able to discover all my pictures and music is still intact but I only know that because I look at screen savers and one of the options is shuffle pictures and so I knew my pictures were on my hard drive.
I just can't pull them up, or my itunes because i have no dock.
Help!!!! This happened one day when I was watching a dvd on a plane. I had it on pause then all of a sudden my computer just went blank.
I already bought a new macbook pro but would really love for this computer to be fixed. I will take it in if I have to but through reading other discussions think I may be able to do it.
I have seen the "killall dock" command suggested but am seriously computer illiterate and have NO idea how to do that.
please help!
Thanks!!!!

You would need to open your utilities folder and click on and open "terminal", type that command without the quotes and hit the enter/return key.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone. Authorize your computer for your itunes account
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars. So do NOT sync yet. This is why a backup copy is so important.
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data. Choose it.
If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync. They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.
