Jun 13, 2012I accidently deleted some file on my computer that wouldn't let me start up my MacBook pro, 13 Inch, so I had to press Command- R at start up (brought me to Lion Recovery) and I choose reinstall lion and I started it yesterday morning and all day and over night.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Fall 2010 Macbook Recovery?
Apr 12, 2012I installed os x lion on my 2010 13"macbook,it worked fine until 2 days ago. It was in the process of updating and froze, after letting it sit for hours, I powered it down when it powered back up I got the apple logo and spinning gear. Since that time I have tried pressing C,D(with and without my osx disc in the drive) no luck. Upon learning to press C,P,R, and COMM. for PRAM I would get a screen with options to repair/verfiy dics, reinstall lion, etc.. I tried them all again nothing has worked. I believe my os x disc is damaged that's why its not working. Currently I get the gray creen with the spinning earth and exclamation point that times out. I fear at this point I'm out luck until I get back to the states.

OS X :: Using DFS On MacOS?
Jun 2, 2007The company I work for just changed their filer access to plain CIFS to DFS (distibuted filesystem). So now my powerbook can't connect to my share anymore. I did some search and discovered that Tiger doesn't support DFS, but perhaps Leopard will. And that there are 3rd party commercial solutions.
Does anyone know of free solution? The filer also talks NFS, but i don't want to change my local uid to match the uid of the Unix environment and to run automount. Am I really convicted to use the Windows XP client that's on my desk?
MacBook Pro :: OS X Lion Internet Recovery - Does Not Detect Hard Drive
Jun 24, 2014I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.2 and it recently stopped booting. Got the gray screen with the folder that has the question mark on it. I have attempted to use Command + R to do a Internet Recovery of the system, but once I get to the Mac OS X Lion screen to select where i want to install OSX, there are no hard drives listed.
So I figure, the hard drive (Hitachi 500GB that came with the Mac) is damaged or not functioning correctly. This doesn't seem to be the case because I can hook it up to a notebook SATA hard drive enclosure, connect it to my other MBP and read all the contents of the drive! This was good news, as i was able to copy off all important data, etc.
Using Disc utility, the partitions check out, and the drive appears to be functioning OK.

Checking volume information.
The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.
Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
I have purchased a replacement hard drive and am waiting for it to arrive in the mail.
My question now is this:
Am I able to do some kind of time machine backup, make an image, or do some kind of target drive restore from this hard drive since it is accessible on my other computer?
I don't mind reloading the operating system on the original MBP, but would really like to avoid the process of setting up all the applications, settings, etc if this drive is in fact functional.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Macbook Pro Freezes At Logo Screen, No Safe Nor Recovery Mode?
Jun 5, 2012my macbook pro today started to freeze at logo scrren. I tried to start it up in both safe and recovery modes but it doesn't work either. I got the system to start in safe mode only once and the scrren looked like in the attached image.When I tried printing the screen instead of taking a photo with my mobile, the image appeared to be normal (without those noisy rectangles), but it wasnt. Then itried restarting but it's been impossible. As i said i tried booting on safe and recovery modes but the circle below the apple logo appèars and then it freezes again. I read about aproblem with the graphic card similar to mine in earlier models, I don`t know if it is the same problem.

MacBook Pro :: Auto-recovery Microsoft Word 2008 - No Auto-recovery Files?
Apr 4, 2012I am trying to recovery a file created in Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac. The file was lost after a power outage. In an attempt to recover the file, my first thought was to check for the file in the Microsoft AutoRecovery 2008 folder within my hardrive. However, the folder only contains a total of four files! Why? If my Microsoft Word is set up to auto save a document every 10 minutes...then how is it possible the folder could only contain 4 files? I am at a loss of how else to recover this file. I am currently attempting to do so with a free trial of Data Recovery Software to see if the file I lost even still exists, with no success so far.

May 6, 2010I'm just wanting a free word processor for OS 9. I was happy using Bean on my white iBook, but I now have a Clamshell iBook that I've designated as my OS 9 machine.
I want something that can stand to a standard file type that will be lossless when it comes to sizing and formatting. I understand there were a lot of HTML-based editors back in those days :P but I don't want to have to deal with converting.
More specifically, I'd like something like WriteRoom! Something that takes over your entire display for nothing but a mere word processor.
Free is the name of the game, so what have you got?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Create Lion Recovery Media Without Internet?
Mar 30, 2012I have not been able to connect to the AppStore. My internet connection may be too slow or there is some other problem. The Apple helpdesk is less than helpful. They do not assist with connection problems. Result: No AppStore for me. So How do I upgrade to Lion? (The problem started when the Lion USB stick was not yet available) One possible solution is to buy a new MacBook. I may have to, because the one I am using is falling apart.
So, suppose I have this brand new MacBook and no connection to the AppStore. Is there a way to create a recovery DVD or USB stick from the new MacBook, without buying the official USB stick?
All articles about Lion recovery assume that you have an internet connection. I have news: not every internet connection counts as an internet connection as far as Apple is concerned. Funny thing is, that all updates to Leopard and Snow Leopard went without problems.

Mac Pro :: No Recovery Partition - How To Make USB Recovery Boot Drive
Sep 12, 2014I'm on a 2008 model Mac Pro 8-core system for work. For whatever reason it doesn't have a recovery partition. I read that if I don't have a recovery partition, I can't make a recovery USB bootable drive....so how do I make one? And no, I cannot reinstall the OS on here, that would be beyond detrimental to what's going on here. (too many details to get into)
Alternatively, can I make one with my 10.8.5 MacbookPro at home and run it here on my Lion system?
OS X Mavericks :: Each Time Turn On IMac / Get MacOS Files Folder
Sep 1, 2014 I would like to keep the MacOS folder from opening each time I re-boot the computer..How do I prevent a window opening with MacOS files showing when starting the computer?
I have cleared the "History" even though it does not show there. I notice in "Finder" under "Go" there is a "Recent Folders" and it shows there. I have Cleared it from there and restart the computer and "MacOS" folder still opens in the center of the screen or where ever I moved it to before closing it. I have tried a Safe Boot and it still shows when re-starting..I would like to keep the MacOS folder from opening each time I re-boot the computer...

OS X V10.7 Lion :: No Recovery In 10.7.3 From Factory?
Apr 13, 2012Using 10.7.3 on a new Mini and trying to use the "recovery" to reset the disk. Holding down Control - "R" on restart does nothing, goes immediately to normal desktop instead of the Disk Utilities or the RecoveryHD, I've tried all the combo's I can think of as well as Control - Option - "R", again straight to desktop. This is a new Mini with OSX 10.7.3 factory installed. Initial startup seemed to be normal. Can't find the RecoveryHD....I'm going to take it back and upgrade, so my interest is in erasing anything that would allow access to my data and the applications I installed (only Office).

Using Lion Internet Recovery On New Mac Pro
May 10, 2012I have a Mac Pro that I purchased in February 2012, and I'm selling it because the printing sub-system on a Mac is terrible. Won't go into details here -- suffice to say I've spent these past 3 months going round-and-round with printing issues, and I'm tired of dealing with it.Since I'm selling it, I wanted to erase everything and re-set it all back to factory specs.I had two partitions on there, the original Mac partition, and a BootCamp partition. Booting up using Command+R and selecting Disk Utility wouldn't let me erase those partitions and create a single new partition Kept giving me a Cannot Unmount Disk error. So I used a partition manager on The Ultimate Boot CD to erase the paritions on my Mac's HDD..Figured I would then use Internet Recovery to re-load everything on there. Don't really care if it takes a few hours to download.But Internet Recovery is not working..I hold Command+R or Command+Option+R and they both do the same thing -- a blinking folder with a question-mark in the midddle of it.
And the only thing I can find that will let me try using an external disk to boot with is something called Lion Recovery Disk Assistant -- but I can't use that because it requires a functioning Mac with a Recovery Partition.So how do I get this stupid thing to boot up to the Internet Recovery mode? I need to get it ready to ship later today.

Mar 22, 2012I think it is pretty unsafe to not have a password befor entering the recovery mode.Since one can reset passwords on even admin accounts how come there are no password requiret before entering Recovery mode? It is completly idiotic and totaly unsafe and an easy ways for f.i thiefs to wipe the computer for data.
