Somehow I lost Disk Utilities on my hard drive (OSX10.9.5) how do I get another copy

Somehow I lost Disk Utilities on my hard drive, Ive searched and it just doesn't exist anywhere. (OSX10.9.5) how do I get another copy?

Thanks Neil. No, of course there was no backup to restore from, but the Command + R worked like a charm (after a mirror backup, just in case) .
I had totally forgotten the Command R trick. I've only had Macs since 1984, so I'm sort of newbie here ;-) Just a brain **** from an old man.
Again thanks!

I lost about 30 gigs of hard-drive space from ScreenFlow, how do I get it back?

I shut down the computer, and opened up screenflow and exited it. However the 30 gigs is still missing. I got an error saying out of space while I was recording a webcam and now the 30 gigs is gone. I only have 5 gigs of hd space left on my computer when it should be closer to 35 gigs left. I ran cleanmymac but that didn't find the missing hard-drive space.

First, get rid of "CleanMyMac," which is a scam. The developer's instructions don't completely remove it. Follow those instructions, then do as below.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Repeat with this line:
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Never again install "CleanMyMac" or anything like it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Then look up in the "ScreenFlow" documentation where the applications saves files, and delete the files.

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it, how can I get another copy of lion OS, P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it with a new one, how can I get another copy of lion OS, as the guy at the serive center installed 10.6 for me.
P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

If you have a way to wipe 10.6.8 off, you can then reboot your machine (with no OS) and since your system came preinstalled with Lion, Internet Recovery should occur which will boot to Apple's servers into a Recovery HD for you to redownload and install Lion.
To be safe I would first make a clone of the current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. This way you have a way to recover.

Trying to download photos from IPHONE, IPAD to IPHOTO in IMAC after installing new hard drive.
How did you import the photos to iPad and iPhone?
If the photos have been synced to the iPhone and iPad using iTunes, you cannot sync them back.
See this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
If your photos are not in the Camera Roll on your devices, save them to the Camera Roll, share them to the Photo Stream, mail the photos, or, if you have iPhoto on the devices, use iTunes Photo Sharing.

Save photos to your computer using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap Share> iTunes.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.

A 2008 Mac won't have originally shipped with Lion. You need to install 10.6.8 on the computer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion, click on the Purchases tab, and download it.

Disk utilities reports different hard drive space

I have a MacBook Pro early 2011 that's acting up.When I repair the disk from disk utilities (separate drive and from recovery drive) it states that I have 100 GB available. However, if I click on the first "Macintosh HD" that shows up in disk utilities it says I only have18 mb available. How can that be? (Capacity 748 GB). I thought if I repair the nested version it would do the trick. But, repairing the "main" drive shows this discrepancy. Anybody have any ideas?

The larger value is correct. The smaller one refers to the Core Storage logical volume group, not the startup volume.

Ive lost my iwork 08 old serial number how do i get another copy without having to purchase it

Ive lost my iwork 08 serial number card and I need to install it in order to open old files to make them readable by iwork components 5.x. Any suggestions?

Is this for a new MacBook Pro? If you are entitled to a free upgrade, but are having trouble with the Mac App Store and can't download Lion, call Applecare and explain the situation and see if they can help you. It's always possible that the Mac App Store has been extra busy lately and for some reason may not have processed your request properly.
First, though, check in your applications folder to be sure that the installer isn't already there. It's called "Install Mac OS X LIon.app". Step one is to download the installer. Step two is to run it. It will vanish from your Application folder after it runs, so if you want to make a copy of the installer, make one before you run it.
Good luck!

I've transfered my backup files from an external hard drive to my Mac; how do I get combine the two "users" on my Mac so I only have one?

I've had to re-install my backup files from to my MacBookPro after a software repair wiped out all my data. Now I have two Users identities on my laptop. Is there a way to combine them or get rid of one?

Drag one account's home folder to the other account's desktop, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, and delete that account.

My old computer's hard drive was destroyed. How can I get my music, which is now located solely on my ipod classic, into my new computer's itunes?

I have already authorized the new computer using itunes.

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music back to computer. Hope it helps.

New Hard drive and mother board, how do I get my music off my ipod?

Hi all,
I recently had my headphone jack replaced and Apple was nice enough to also replace my mother board and my hardrive! I neglected to back up my music, and now all my music is on my Ipod and I don't know what to do.
Is there any way to export my music from the ipod to my computer?
Thanks!

There is a program or two that you could download and use to transfer files from Ipod to Computer. Senuti is the one I have used. Works great and is free.
