Apr 24, 2012I am not using Time Machine as Genius Bar at the Apple store told me it was best not to (I was continually having errors and so GeniusBar erased my hard drive and reinstalled Lion). They said to then manually drag over documents onto my hard drive, avoiding the Applications, so no possible errors could be dragged back onto the clean hard drive.
But now I have Mail and none of my folders and previous accounts. Of course I can re-setup my accounts, but then they will just try to redownload all of the millions of emails I had before. None of the very organised folders I previously had, sent messages, etc, etc.

MacBook :: Snow Leopard: Erase And Install
Jun 14, 2012I'm trying to erase my hard drive to sell my MacBook and well I used the drop in disk to help with this. I dont have the gray disks that came with my computer. Any who I ran it erase and reinstall the os and at the last second it failed to install. Now when I start my computer with the disk it'll try to down load the os and it says that I don't have an OS X version 10.4 or higher on my computer. So basically I don't have a operating system on my MacBook. It's empty. It is a white 13 inch MacBook.

OS X Mavericks :: Can Downgrade Back To Mountain Lion On MacBook Pro?
Sep 9, 2014I'm trying to dual boot my Macbook Pro (2010) with Windows 7 to run some software that is not Mac compatible. I have encountered one problem after the next, but most recently, my disc drive has stopped reading discs. I had originally gone from Mountain Lion to Mavericks as an upgrade, and my disc drive worked fine - but due to an issue with the Windows 7 installation, I had to completely wipe my computer and start fresh - booting Mavericks from the Cloud directly. This appears to have knocked out my disc drive and try as I might, my computer will not only refuse to read external optical drives, but it will accept discs, not read them, and repeatedly spit them out a few seconds later. Â
I was looking for a solution - and I'm not sure exactly which route to take. I could downgrade to Mountain Lion and hopefully restore the functionality of my disc drive to install Windows 7 and upgrade my OS after the fact OR I could find a way to repair my disc drive. The issue is most definitely software and not hardware. Â
Ideally, I'll walk away from this with a partitioned MacBook Pro with both Windows 7 and Mavericks installed. I don't even necessarily need my disc drive to work once Windows 7 is installed. Â

View 2 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Archive & Install Or Erase & Install + TM Restore?
Dec 22, 2008Long story short: I've been having some issues with Leopard (and it looks like it was probably my fault for simply choosing the "Upgrade" option when I moved up from Tiger), and so now I'm looking into a clean install Leopard, which according to all other indications should fix my problem. Now, my initial reaction was to go with the "Archive and Install" option, but since I've been reading more about what people have to say, I'm starting to wonder if I should just choose "Erase and Install", and then restore from Time Machine instead? ...or is there really even a significant difference in the end?
I would like to keep everything as intact as possible, which makes me think Time Machine would be better, but then at the same time I've read stories about people having difficulties with restoring from Time Machine, and losing certain applications/preferences, etc... but sometimes they say it works just fine. So I don't know. But I'd like to get some second opinions before moving forward too quickly and then possibly regretting my decision later.

Jan 7, 2008I have XP installed in my Intel Macbook Pro in the separate partition created by boot camp. Recently while I was running on XP the computer crashed badly and XP system seemed to have been damaged and I can't boot as XP anymore. I would like to simply erase the XP partition and merge it with the main drive. But the problem is that Boot Camp got expired and I can't use the application to do that. Can anyone tell me how I can do that?? I am guessing that Disk Utility would be the one to use but I want to make sure I know what I am doing before I screw up anything.

View 3 Replies View RelatedApplications :: Downgrade Mail From SL To Leopard?
Jun 6, 2010Upgraded to Snow leopard and used it consistently for around 6 months now.Major problems with Neo office and canon printer drivers finally forced me to concede and make the long trek back to Leopard via Tiger One full system reinstall later and the iMac is a happy bunny. All except Mail. No issues with Address book, found the old files on my backup (TM), slipped them in and no worries.
Mail is being the proverbial pain in the whatnot. It installed happily with Tiger, I didn't open it. Upgraded quietly to Leopard and sat comfortably in the dock, until another person (who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty) tried to restore the emails from TM directly. End result smiley finder face with the message "You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X."
So I trashed it, used Pacifist to reinstall Mail from Tiger, tried to run it. Same message. So I ran the leopard upgrade, same message. Trashed it and tried again without trying to open it at the Tiger stage, same message.Everything I try fails please can some Mac genius point me in the right direction??
