Urgent help--reinstallation of Mac OS 10.4...thank you so much!!
Hey everyone,
So I am selling my computer TOMORROW so I booted off the Tiger Install DVD CD and deleted my old computer files using the "7-pass." I think accidentally I did it twice, though. Selecting both icons of the harddrive...not sure if I was oly supposed to press one (one was indented on the left side, ring a bell)?
ANYWAYS
Now I can't seem to boot off the HD on the startup disk because it doesn't seem to exist. I figure that is because there is no operating system installed....so I went to install OS X off the DVD and it gets halfway-ish and then comes up with "an error occured during installation".....What can I do???

The one which isn't indented represents the whole drive, and the one or more which is indented represents a partition on that drive. If you only have one partition on the drive, both of them are the same for all practical purposes. If you have multiple partitions on the drive, choosing the non-indented one will cause the Disk Utility to act as if all of the indented ones were chosen.

Urgent help need with a strange problem. Thank you.
Hi.
I'm trying to help a friend.
When she downloads pictures from her camera into Lightroom and selects her external drive and picture folder the pictures always end up in her /user/documents folder. I've seen this myself.
They do not go to the selected drive/folder but always to her documents folder. Any idea what could be going on PLEASE.
Thank you much.

My install of maverick failed as disk is damaged and cannot repaired. I tried to erase disk but got error disk cannot be unmounted. Please help. What can i do? Thank you very much.
First have you got a backup of your data? If not try to get one now while you have some access to the drive. The drive is probably faulty and will need to be replaced, without the backup you risk losing the data.
Have you a bootable external USB drive with Mavericks on it, if so boot from that and try and repair or erase the drive and reinstall Mavericks.
If you don't have Mavericks on an external drive, boot from you Leopard DVD ( I am presumimg your profile is correct) and run Disk Utility from there, you may be able to erase the drive and reload Leopard. You can then install Mavericks. Even if all that works you will most likely need a new drive in the near future. -
How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.
I do not know the iWire adapter, but I use an inexpensive ($3) DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, along with a regular HDMI cable:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041902 &p_id=2029&seq=1&format=2
Be aware that this will only transfer video. You Macbook Pro cannot combine audio through DVI to HDMI. You will need to listen to the audio through the Mac speakers, or attach speakers or a sound system to the Mac earphone jack, or determine if your TV has the ability to accept external sound from the Mac while showing video through HDMI (few can). -

How do I scan and email documents on my canon mx870? I have a MAC OS X 10.7.5 and it is connected with a usb cable to the printer. Thank you so much!
Hi, I have 10.6.8 and an HP printer so it may be slightly different but I'll give it my best shot:
Go to System Preferences.
Click on "Print & Fax"
Near the top of that page you should see "Print" and "Scan" options. Click "Scan"
A button appears that says "open scanner"
The settings are different between the different scanner models so I'm not sure what the next window will look like, but it should be pretty straightforward from there. It will scan to a JPEG image which you can attach to an email. I hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything ense I can help with. -
Another battery question thank you so much if you could help...
Sorry i didn't ask this in my other thread but i wouldn't get any replies if i did that lol... OK I wanna make sure Best Buy isn't giving me the old macbook pro for the price of the new one... In the System Profiler under Power it shows that my computer's battery has a maximum capacity of 6650 mAh... is that the charge capacity of the new macbook pro battery?? I just got this mac like 3 or 4 days ago... so far doing basic things like word processing the battery hasn't lasted more than 3 or 4 hours with the brightness at minimum and using the lower power nvidia 9400m... thank you so much if you could help me confirm that I do have the new macbook pro model and battery so I can stop worrying about this lol
Hi bodyboarder3452,
Another easy way to tell is from the external, bottom enclosure. Do you have a latch door on the bottom that allows you easy access to the HD and a removal battery? If not then you have the model with the "built in" 7-hour battery. The FCC definitely would seem to indicate that you have the 7-hour battery, as the typical FCC of the previous generations was more in the ~5500mAh range. -
I started to publish an iMovie project in iDVD but it failled .... yhe mesage was start up disk needs more space. delete files to make more space. how can I do that, please? in help menue tehre are no entris on start up... Thank you VERY much. Michael
Startup disc is Macintosh HD. If your HD is getting near full capacity you'll need to offload some files to an external drive or drives.

I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.
Three hours if definitely NOT normal. I get at least 48 hours out my 2 year old iPhone 4S' battery with light usage. Did you do the iOS 7 update on the phone it self (OTA) or through iTunes? In my experience most problems are caused by the OTA updates. For this reason I ALWAYS update using iTunes on my computer.
I would suggest restoring your phone using iTunes on your computer and setting it us as a new phone. This downloads a fresh copy of iOS 7.1 from Apple and installs it on your phone. Just make sure that you transfer all purchased items (apps, music, etc.) as well as photos to your computer before restoring as the restore will completely wipe your phone. Do not restore from a back-up. Yes, you will loose all your data on the phone but restoring a back-up can restore the problem you are currently having back to your phone. Once your phone has been restored you can manually sync back your apps and music.
Before restoring you can also check to see that battery-killers like Location Services, Background App Refresh, etc are only turned on for the apps that really need it. I recently read and article that said that the Facebook app can be a real battery killer. If you have this app installed turn of location services and background app refresh for this app and see if that helps. Also go to Settings / General / Restrictions / Location Services / System Services and turn off all the options in that menu. Your phone does not need any of those to function. Constantly using your phone's GPS is a huge battery killer. I only have Location Services enabled for Find my iPhone and Background App Refresh is turned off completely.
I hope this helps. -
