Why is my Mac not working properly now?

1. I emptird trash
2. I verified permissions & then repaired permissions.
3. I restarted the machine to reset the pram...
Instead of pressing cmd & alt with P & R, I pressed cmd & ctrl with P & R...
Since then my mac had been showing grey screen with apple logo & then turning itself off.
I can get to a language selection box by repeating the cmd+ctrl+P+R.
After choosing English, OS X Utilities box appears with four options.
Options are:
Restore From Time Machine Backup
Reinstall OS X
Get Help Online
Disk Utility
I went into disk utility and selected the previously working hard drive from the list...
I'm not really sure what to do or if I can rescue the situation...
I'll attach some photos I've taken.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got the red error message, Disk cannot be repaired.
You have directory damage and you should not use your MBP until the damage has been repaired to avoid damaging your directory any further. The following software will repair you directory:
You must use the versions that are compatible w/your OS system & keep the utilities updated to avoid damaging/harming/trashing your system. http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html
DiskWarrior Highly recommended for *directory damage* repairs.
TechTool Pro Multi-functional utility.
Drive Genius Multi-functional utility.
You will need to make your own decision on which to purchase. Read up on them on their websites because each does something a little different.
OS X (10.6.6)
After you repair your directory, update your OS to OS 10.6.8 which is the last version of Snow Leopard. Use Software Update as you are probably behind in other updates.

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
to Rick:
I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
- Working Space: None
- Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
to both of you:
Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
So, would you have any solution for this problem?
Again, many thanks for your fast replies!

Left and right arrow keys are not working properly now

I searched the forum and didn't see this posted. My left and right arrow keys are not working properly now.
For example, when typing, left arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the left), and right arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the right). Also, control + left no longer activates spaces, and control + right no longer activates spaces.
Interestingly, in investigating the problem, I noticed that my shortcut keys for activating spaces and for activating expose had been changed (software update?). Before, I had set F5 (without pressing fn) for expose and had set F6 (without pressing fn) for spaces. Now, I noticed spaces was set back to the default of F8 (requiring fn).
The issue persists after shut down, and even when logged on to other users, e.g. Guest.
All other keys seem to be working fine, including the up and down arrows.
I don't think it's a cleaning issue because fn + left + right produces the "[" character on the screen.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same type of issue on my MacBook except not with arrow keys. The volume keys do different things when I click on them. For example, the mute key brings up the dashboard and the volume up key makes all the open screens smaller (don't know what this feature is called). I did a software update then restarted the computer when this starting happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

This is correct. If you purchased the phone in the UK, then there is NO international warranty on the iPhone and the warranty is for the country of original purchase, so as well as the UK, it is EU wide.
The only way to get your phone repaired is to take it back to the UK to an Apple store there or to any other EU country where the warranty is valid.
Nothing else you can do.

Why the games are not working properly in my ipad after installing iOS7

Why games are not working properly in my ipad in my iOS 7

The games you mention would have been written and therefore designed for the previous version of iOS - you've most likely had a lot of updates lately in the run-up to the release of iOS 7 and if these games haven't had an update then chances are these will need to be adapted to iOS 7 by the developers if not working correctly.

Why does my ipad not work properly when charging

when my ipad is plugged to charger it does not work properly goes crazy

Not sure what 'goes crazy' means but it most likely should not do that. Try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Also try it plugged into another outlet (on another circuit) and/or try another charger.

Why does my cdplayer not work properly

My cd player that is built into my mac has stopped working properly . It wont play some dvd's now ando some music cd's why?
The player is vertical , built into the right side of my display screen. Not horizontal like most are . I thout of getting a cd disc that cleans the player would that help?

Not true!
A standard CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes will do the job.
But you should try resetting the SMC:

If none of that works (and these vertically installed Superdrives that were originally designed for horizontal use in a MacBook can be fickle) then any USB DVD burner/player will work well, and cost from as little as $40. Just make sure that it is stated to be Mac compatible.

Why does my screen not work properly

It works completly fine in applet viewer, im at a loss here

I updated my software for the Time Machine and it will not work properly now.

I updated my Time Machine's Software and now it flashes amber all of the time and will not let me "into" it. I used to have a wireless network through it and now it does not work. I have hard reset it several times and it is flashing amber again.

I have done this on several occassions. This works for 1 time then it stops. It "connects" allows me to set it up and then flashes amber. It did backup 1 time today, but now it says it is delayed and there is no back up. It worked fine until I updated the software and tried to extend my network. After this, it will NOT work at all, for any length of time. i just reset it, and was able to set it up, but it gave me an error message, is flashing amber and is not being recognized. Very frustrating.

My printer is not working properly now it is connected to Airport Express!!

I have purchased an Airport Express wireless router, which enables me to also make my Dell AIO A920 printer wireless also, so my wife and daughter can use the same printer from different rooms. They both use Dell laptops using Windows XP Home Edition.
The problem is that the printer physically prints out the first document/photo fine, but it does not complete in the printer software, the job stays at 99% in the printer progress bar. If I try to print something else out, the new print job just won't start. The next print job stays at pending status, probably because the first job does not 'officially' complete on the system, even though the actual print was sucessful. If I try to cancel the first print job to get rid of it, it just says the job is deleting in the print queue box, it never actually deletes though. I have to cancel the job and then restart the computer. This problem was not occuring when the printer was connected to the computer via the USB lead.
The only clue I have to what is not working is that if I have printed something and I have to restart the computer to print something else, after i click restart, I get a pop up message telling me a program won't close or is not responding (I can't remember which), it calls the program PSWX - Dell A920. Dell A920 is what my printer is called on my network.
Please help!!

Unfortunately this probably means that the Dell printer driver can't cope with been put on an Airport Express.
This is usually down to the small print buffer on the printer.
There is no solution.
