Tried to reinstall OSX 10.8, it will not let me use my main hard drive. Only external.

I'd been preparing for a clean reinstall of OSX via pressing command-R during start-up. When I went and tried to erase my hard drive so I could repartition it with a clean OSX, it doesn't even show up as an option for the install location of OSX. Then when I look in Disk Utility(in safe mode, regular mode, any mode) it allows me to Verify and Repair permissions as long as many times as I want, but it won't let me do anything on the only other tab(partition), and I can't figure out how to make it an option for my installation.
Anyone run into a similar issue?
Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand what you're doing, but to erase the startup volume, you must be booted from another volume, such as the Recovery partition.

Tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance

I tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance.
Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion - but I eventually tried again and was able to contact via "chat" to someone qualified to help. The problem was that in my existing "bridge" - preference was (I think by default) - checked to startup in background on Login. I did not realize this - because I don't think I set it that way in the first place (maybe I did a few years ago) - and I could not see anything in task manager to suggest that bridge was running an application or any process - but when I learned this - I was successful in installing PS CS6.
Yes, I'm still not on solid ground re: whether or not I want to change from "owning" the tool or renting it -- what concerns me is that is sounds like regardless of users wishes, Adobe is headed in this direction and will eventually make it financially more feasible to go that route. At the moment I think they are "asking" for everyone to get on their bandwagon, but who knows. They have a powerful set of tools, that they continue to support and advance - and along with those development and support costs, they also would like to make a profit - so I understand if their past marketing model is no longer sufficient.
Thanks again.

I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

HT201436 I am trying to set up my voicemail but it will not let me use the letters, only the number come up

I am trying to set up my voicemail but it will not let me use the letters..only numbers

I don't understand what you are setting up using numbers - or letters. If it's a passcode, then you can translate the letters into numbers as you would on a telephone keyboard - for example, an "S" would be a 7.
But that may not matter, as the process for setting up voicemail is strongly tied to your cellular carrier. If the above doesn't answer your issue, contact your cellular carrier for setup assistance.

2. not that I know of
been looking for something a bit like it got an old ipod thouch in a audio dock in the kitchen and want to give it access to all my music not just play what is synced
so far my only options is to get an app to use upnp to get the music directly from my nas
or get some app which require the computer to be running and running some program to handle it
and as far as I can tell getting access to stuff synced on the atv is a no go

Hello Curtis,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to downlaod Mavericks. I recommend emptying your trash and restarting your computer. Once you have done that, navigat the the Purchased tab of the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks again:

HT201209 I have remaining credit at the iTunes Store, but will not let me use without a download code! That code was thrown away month ago, after downloading it. How can I use my unused credit $??

I have remaining credit at the iTunes Store, but will not let me use without entering 'your Gift Card or Download Code' which, of course, was thrown away months ago, when I first put the code in! Originally it was put into my computer, now I'm trying to redeem on my iPhone. Anybody have any ideas....I mean it IS my money! Thanks Ruthie

What you are saying does not make sense. You redeem a card once, that's it. It doesn't matter what device you are using, as long as it's using the same account, you will get the reminder of your store credits.
Could you give more details now?

Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D

Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D
Hi, I'm using the new Mac Pro
2.7 GHz 12-core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
OSX 10.9.2
I'm using After Effects 12.2.1.5
When I attempt to invoke the race trace 3D renderer in a comp, I get this error
"After Effects Error: Ray-traced 3D: Out of paged mapped memory for ray tracer. Your project may exceed GPU limits. Try closing other applications. Try updating the CUDA driver. (5070::2)"
My preferences are set to use the CPU for Raytraced 3D since I do not have an Nvidia card.
So, obviously there is an issue here in that it thinks I have an Nvidia card.
I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
So my question is, what files can I delete/reset to cause After Effects to no longer look for CUDA files that do not exist on this machine?
I do not have the CUDA control panel in System Prefs, so THAT did not carry over.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

Ugh. That causes so many problems.
The first thing to try is deleting the CUDA frameworks from your Mac: Look in /Library/Frameworks for the CUDA.Framework and get rid of it.
