Wiping my harddrive
I just bought a new Macbook pro, and I am planning on selling my old Macbook. Before I sell it, I would like to wipe my hard drive, setting it to its default setting. How would I go about doing this?
Hi rbonill2006,
In addition to Dave's instructions I'd also recommend doing a secure erase on the HD, at least a single pass and if you've got the time a 7 pass is always worth the extra peace of mind. While it's unlikely that the person who purchases your MacBook will look to extract previous data of the drive you never know.
Information on that procedure can be found here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1820

T500 Bluetooth driver upgrade problem, risk of wiping the harddrive
Hi,
I tried to upgrade my bluetooth driver on my laptop. The upgrade failed. After that I get an error when the computer starts.
"The program can't start because btwhidcs.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"
When I try to reinstall, first all goes well. At the last part of the installation I get an "Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly"
When I search on google this seems like a common problem. But I haven't found a solution for it anywhere.
What I did found that for some people files where deleted on the system drive when they tried to uninstall their old driver.
Here are some people that lost data on their harddrive when trying to uninstall the old driver.
Unable to install bluetooth driver
Broadcom bluetooth
Bluetooth with enhanced data rate software II
Bluetooth update killed my Windows 7
installation of bluetooth driver error 1935
Potential data wipe while updating x220 bluetooth driver
Widcomm uninstallation wipes out the computer
Lenovo and others seems to have suggested to uninstall the old driver when people have requested help.
Bluetooth installation problem
Here I found some posts that might help with finding a solution. It is about kb970652. Not sure what needs to be done though.
Error 1935
This seems like a known problem that should be fixed in version 6.4 version of the drivers.
Installation of bluetooth driver error 1935
but there is no post in the thread with the new drivers or information about them. After a lot of searching I found a post where Lenovo went out with a warning. The warning is here:
Please note - Report - Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software II for Windows 7 wipe main drive
There are updated drivers in the post. But they seem not to be for the T500 and on the download page T500 there is no new version of the drivers.
I talked to Lenovo support a couple of times but they say they only handle hw problems. They recommended removal of devices in Device Manager, uninstall reinstall etc. But after all posts of lost data I don't want to try to uninstall if I am not sure it will not corrupt my computer. I asked them if they could forward to their team to update drivers for the t500 but they seem not to have done that.
Right now I have no working bluetooth anymore.
We have hundreds of lenovo laptops in our offices and I really would like to know if we risk risk data loss if a user uninstalls bluetooth drivers. How could we upgrade them to remove this risk?
So my questions are:
Does anyone know what versions of the drivers are unsafe to uninstall and what versions are safe to uninstall?
How can you fix broken updates? Like on my T500. There is no new driver for it on it's download page?
What is the way to upgrade bluetooth on "unsafe" machines (where uninstallation of bluetooth would corrupt them)?Hello and welcome,
The last post in a long thread on this topic links to a driver for the T500 among other machines. I haven't tried it myself.

Wiped my harddrive clean, only want a few files, not entire system
Hey all,
I wiped my drive clean and reinstalled osx. I have the time machine harddrive from my previous osx. I really just want to retrieve a few folders and individual files, not entirely restore the system to what it was. Any way to make time machine pick up where it left off in terms of backups?IanF13 wrote:

no. this is a new install and it will make a full new backup. no way around that. -
I want to know if I can get it from the app strore without purchasing it again...This is because I dont want to upgrade to ML.
If you're wanting to put Snow Leopard back on your old laptop and you don't have the original DVDs, you should call Apple Support (800-MY-APPLE USA) and order the version of SL that came with your MBP. You'll be charged a small fee.

Here is the etrecheck report. Any suggestions of some other maintenance I can perform on my computer? A mac tech did a system diagnostic and found nothing wrong with the hardware. I have already reinstalled Mavericks, so it seems like the next step is wiping the harddrive clean and starting over, but I want to avoid that if possible! Can anybody help?

Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

hello anyone i have a late 2011 macbook pro that i purchsed second hand it already had lion installed i wanted to install mavericks which I tried a four digit pin code came up thus locking my mac I took it to the geeksquad they wiped my harddrive and tried to renstall the OX they said they could not do it because a firmware passcode or filevault passcode was on it so I now have a brick can anyone help me fix this problem thanks for any info
Pawn shop! They only looked after it for a stranger then the ticket ran out. Will apple accept that sell-on as a bill of sale? I'll give you 50:50 chance on that. Did you see Apple recently refused to unlock an ipad left to a guy by his mother who died of cancer. Apple wanted a court order! (Til it got on the national TV news).
Someone will have to produce the original owner's bill of sale I reckon. -
Safari logging into hotmail bug.
i've been experiencing problems with logging into hotmail. I'm currently running safari 1.3.2 on osx 10.39. i can no longer leave hotmail as my homepage because it seems to time out after a while and the only way to log back in is to delete all the hotmail cookies. i wiped my harddrive and completely reinstalled my system the other week after a few years of running on the same system. since then safari doesn't open a window when launched at start up, and the hotmail problem. any suggestions?
Message was edited by: captain spekyHi
I dont use Hotmail but this is really strange. In my opinion it has something to do with settings of Internet Explorer because with Firefox everything works. Theoretically this means that nothing is blocking your connection and AntiVirus/Firewall doesnt block these connections to Hotmail.
In options of Internet Explorer you have different Zones, like trusted sites, restricted sites, etc. In your case I would add MSN page that you need to trusted sites.
Furthermore you block/allow Cookies from certain webpages. Make sure that Cookies are not blocked.
Thats all what I can say and the moment and I hope I could help you! :) -
What is causing my Mac to be so slow?
Ok so I have a 2011 Mac Mini, upgraded to 8gb of RAM running Mavericks. Over the past few months, it has been performing poorly during certain tasks, for example:
-When watching videos, both on and offline, picture will randomly freeze for a couple of seconds, while audio continues
-Every-day tasks such as right clicking to open the mini menu that appears or opening a folder in Finder (rainbow wheel appears)
-Loading a webpage - nothing will happen for a few seconds, then it connects and everything loads very quickly
So I backed up using Time Machine, and wiped the harddrive, reinstalled via USB installation (without restoring backup), and everything was super quick again. So I restored just my applications and files (ie. not my settings) in the hope my mac would maintain its new found speed.
It didn't.
In fact, it has regained exactly the same issues as last time. So my question is, what can I do to find out what is causing this slow down?
Thanks,
MaxHi Linc,
Many thanks for your continued support, I am afraid the Mac is still as it was even after the OS X Yosemite Public Release Install. Here are the results for the new test I carried out as per your detailed instructions:
Many thanks,
Max

Why does my internal speakers no longer show up in my sound preferences?
In February, I updated my MBP 15" to 10.7.3. After restarting my system, the internal speakers were no longer listed in my available outputs under my sound preferences. I wasted an hour of my time talking to phone support only to hear the same stuff I had found online to try to troubleshoot the problem. Finally they told me to go to the Genius Bar. I went to my local Apple store where they proceded to look at it for about an hour and in the end told me the way to fix it would be to just wipe the harddrive and reinstall OS X. I couldn't afford to do that at the time due to needing the computer for grad school and chose to wait till after school let out to do this. Now I have wiped the harddrive twice and reinstalled and STILL don't have sound.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to try to fix this?It's a longshot, but you could try this:

Can't access my account after time machine hard disk restore. HELP please.
i was attempting to partition my hard disk with boot camp when an error message appeared saying that it could not be partitioned and to backup my hard disk, reformat and restore using time machine, then run boot camp again. i did this and now i cannot access my account. at the log in page my password is accepted but a message appears saying that i am unable to access my account at this time due to an error (error not specified). any suggestions please.
thanks :-)
triggs.just been reading through various posts on here and it seems that timemachine does not backup file vault home folders. Thanks for the warning message apple. i have wiped my harddrive lost all my home folder and am now panicking becuase some of the data was for a charity that i help out with and can't exactly go asking for the information again. i presume if my old home folder was there i would see it in the user account on my external drives backups? any help would be appreciated but think i am now losing the will to live.
Cue the massive shouting match when i have to explain this to the charity secretary -
AAAGGH! can't copy any files to back-up so I can upgrade so I can copy ...
I have recently finally gone to OS10.4.9 on a new machine. But I still have my old 9.2.2 G3 imac. I recently inherited a copy of OS10.3.5 on CDs so that I can FINALLY upgrade the imac and not be running into any of these cross platform little problems. So I went to copy many of my core files from the G3 onto the harddrive of the G5 over the network, as a precaution before upgrading the operating software (and yes I have done the firmware update already) BUT
every time I try to copy files the G5 server disconnects.
so I researched this forum and discovered that I need to overwrite my library item to the old version. But where do I find such a thing since I have just been letting the "software update" do all the software updating on the G5??
and another thing ...
I have original disks from mac for this software. Do I need to partition my hard drive and install the operating system in the first 10G?
to partition my drive will mean wiping my harddrive, correct? So I need to backup all these files before upgrading but this G3 machine does not have a firewire port, nor a CD writer nor a disk drive, ONLY an ethernet port. So the G5 is my only backup option right now. Does this look how it looks to everyone else or am I missing some simple thing?

iMac G3 bondi :: imac G5 isight Mac OS X (10.4.5)I'm sure that I have an Imac G5, the last of the powerPC family. Bought it reconditioned from mac a year ago. And only over the winter did I get myself fully OSX'd.
Now, about that no new operating system stuff...
I just read on this forum about folks who are having troubles now that they ahve upgraded from OS10.4.5 to 10.4.9 (i think?!) that their OX9 machine can't copy to the OSX machine either. And their solution was to get an older copy of the hard disk driver (I am such an idiot and I can't find the other post but I am trying not to sound too offbase!) and then they can copy without difficulty. I am receiving the exact same error message that they are with the server disconnect. So I thought maybe I had the same trouble since my operating system got updated recently with a software update thingy-ma-doodle.
I will try connect from the G5: such a simple work around!! Why didn't I think of that?! thanks ...
Next, I have already updated my firmware with the appropriate firmware updater from this site. (I hope! I followed instructions in a tutorial and all the messages said the right things)
The disks themselves say: Mac OSX panther version 10.3.5 install disk 1 and disk2 and diks3, and they are black and look like your picture. It also came with an Ecode tools disk and an installation and setup guide along with the license.
Do I need to partition the drive so that the software is in the first 10G of the 40G harddrive? Will it reformat my disk? I have never partitioned before. I have read about it but I don't really know what to expect. -
Restore from Time Capsule problem
I had to restore my system from my Time Capsule but it is not working.
Help needed.
Macbook Pro 15/2.2GHz/2x1G/160GB/SD/MDM
Installed OS X 10.6.7 update 5/7/11 but after that many apps started to crash on launch.
Attempoed restore from Time Capsule using a Time Machine backup from prior to the update so as to rollback the OS to 10.6.6.
The restore failed (screen never got beyond the Apple Screen and the spinning gear aftewr waiting six hours).
So I wiped the harddrive with a high degree of security and then repeated the restore with an even older version of 10.6.6 but the screen still hangs at the Apple screen with the spinning gear.
I will leave it to run over night to see what happens, but I suspect it will still be this way in the morning.
What do I do next?
The drive was checked out as OK by Disk Utility First Aid. Is there another utility I should use to check the laptop HD?
Steven LockeYou can erase & install the system again, and when finished migrate your data within the setup assistant from the backup volume. With this method the system files are installed fresh from disc and not transferred from the backup.

Hi,
I've been having this problem for weeks now.
I was able to intall windows 7 using bootcamp, which I did numerous times with my previous macs.
Today, I wiped my harddrive, and fresh installed OSX and windows 7
everything went perfect up to the point where I installed some drivers for the bootcamp. and it restarts,
AND I chose windows partition on my boot menu and there all I see is black screen with the blinking cursor!!!!!!
The strange thing is when I insert windows dvd in the tray and boot it from the dvd, and
after the msg : "Press any key to boot from CD/DVD...."
I didnt press any key!!! and it boots perfect to windows partition.
When I remove my DVD and boot from the 'windows' partition, black screen with blinking cursor is still there.NO,
Please read carefully as it might be confusing. Here, let me make it simple.
scenario #1 :
1. I choose to boot up from DVD (using optiong key and select windows DVD from the menu)
2. prompts message "PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM CD / DVD"
3. I DIDN'T press any key. (when I press a key to boot from DVD, it boots from the DVD and goes to windows installer)
4. Boots perfectly to WINDOWS from the hard drive (NOT DVD)
scenario#2 :
1. I choose to boot up from the 'windows' PARTITION from the boot menu
2. voila! black screen with blinking underscore.
I already tried wiping and reinstalling windows several times.
What I am assuming is selecting windows DVD from the bootmenu (option key) triggers mac to locate a proper location of my installed Windows. (even though it is ACTUALLY NOT BOOTING FROM THE DVD). -
Possible Bug in ID5.5 When Exporting Images to ePub
Just wanted to relate my experience with exporting images to ePub in InDesign CS5.5. I've already spent the better part of two weeks trying to find a resolution for the problem with Adobe's customer service techs in India. Nice guys, but so far not of much help.
Here's the problem. when exporting ID documents to ePub, and you're selecting your options in the "Image" export dialog box, you are offered two choices: "Fixed" and "Relative to Page." In theory, "Relative to Page" is the best choice because this means your images will be automatically scaled for the different viewing devices (i.e. iPad, Kindle, mobile phone, laptop). If you select "Relative to Page," however, your images will export with pixilation.
This may not happen to everyone, but it happened to me, as well as the last tech I spoke in India. I'm using a MacBook Pro running 10.6.7. Don't know what he was using, but he got the same results on his end when exporting an image to ePub using "Relative to Page." For me, the fonts look especially horrible in Adobe Editions. If you select "Fixed," they'll export just fine, (looked great in Adobe Editions and Kindle Previewer), but don't know how fixed size renders in the different devices.
This particular exchange was last Friday. The tech verified that we had a problem he couldn't solve and told me he had to speak with his "senior," who had already gone home for the weekend. I received an email today informing me that all I had to do was select the high quality performance settings in ID, and the image would look "pretty" while the file was open in the program. Really? I mean, duh. What does that have to do with the EXPORT problem?
And yes, I know to select the maximum quality setting in export. I'm a photographer who has used Photoshop since the 1990s. Used InDesign, QuarkXpress, and Pagemaker, in reverse order for that long as well, so I know how to prepare a file for print and the web. The techs I've spoken with have assured me I'm selecting the correct settings. Program has not only been uninstalled and reinstalled, but I went the extra drastic step of wiping my harddrive and starting over. No third-party plug-ins installed that didn't come with the original Adobe software. Have the latest ID update. The problem simply doesn't have a solution in my case.
Oh, well. As I say, nice guys, but this is my third time speaking with tech support about a problem with Adobe software. Not going to try again. IMHO, the customer service system/process could use some work.As I said, it may not happen to everyone. Perhaps with a different operating platform or system version it may not happen. I was only reporting it because it happened to not just myself, but to the tech half a world away who shared my screen, saw the problem, and recreated it on his own machine/system.
Here are the selections in the ePub Export dialog box that caused the problem. I can't imagine that what is selected for TOC settings or other non-image settings would have to do with it, but here they are.
1. File > Export > Choose ePub as Format
2. In ePub dialog box: General Settings
Include Document Metadata checked
ePub Cover, you can select Rasterize first page or Use Existing Image File, makes no difference
Ordering, Based on Articles Panel
Formatting Options: Leave as Default
3. In ePub dialog box: Image
Preserve Appearance from Layout checked
Resolution, doesn't matter what you select, all produces the same result
Everything in the first section below this is as default
Image Conversion: JPEG (I've been using JPEG, but also tried it with a TIFF, and even a Photoshop file, no difference)
JPEG Options: Maximum, Progressive
Ignore Object Export Settings: I usually have this checked, but have tried it unchecked, and it made no difference
4. In the ePub dialog box: Contents
Format ePub Content: XHTML
Use InDesign TOC Style checked (I've tried the default, and my own TOC style, no difference)
CSS Options: I've tried Generate CSS and Use existing CSS template, never used Styles only. Made no difference
5. Click OK.
If you need what I do from the beginning...
1. New file: Print (not web, which tends to not honor the HTML tags on export). I typically chose 1024 x 768 because that's the screen resolution for an iPad.
2. Command-D, place file. I've tried JPG, TIFF, even Photoshop files of varying resolutions from 72 to 300. Files sizes from 800x600 to 1024x768 to sizes approximately double this. No difference.
3. Drag cover to Articles Panel and name.
4. Layout rest of eBook, etc.
5. Display performance settings while in ID are set to High Quality.
6. Triple check for errors (always a green light before exporting).
These are ePub files that have validated, after fiddling with the CSS and XHTML file, as necessary, of course. I don't mess with any image coding.
That's the steps! -
So as i stated I reinstalled Windows 7 on my PC, wiping the harddrive in the process. I didn't copy my music files to a third device because I assumed I would be able to retrieve all my songs from my iPhone 4 when I resynced the devices. Unfortunately only my iTunes-purchased songs went back to my desktop. This leaves about 1400 songs that I ripped from CDs on my phone and I can't see how to get those songs from my iPhone to my desktop again. I would really like to not have to waste a day ripping CDs again. Can anyone help?
You need to restore them from the backup that you should have of your computer that you made before reinstalling Windows 7. The iPhone is not a backup device.
