Trying to reinstall OS after the machine wouldn't work when I tried OS upgrade. I formatted Macintish HD. It looks like it downloads successfully but never restarts afterwards. No matter what I try it just boots into OS X Utilities. When I go into DIsk Utility it lists 160.04 GB Toshiba, then under that Macintosh HD. Then further down it lists disk1 and under that it lists OS X Base System.

I recently did a manual reboot after my MacBook Pro had frozen, and instead of the usual Apple and loading icon, it gave me the flashing question mark on a folder, which I've never encountered before. I looked up some possible reasons on my PC, and after reading that there's a problem with my HD I tried looking up how to back up my files so that I can do a clean reinstall of Yosemite (latest ver.). However, I've never used anything like Time Machine or anything else that could back up all my files, so it didn't sound like I could do anything about that at this point. I've also tried going into Disk Utility and attempting to repair the disk image. There was only 2 available, disk0 and the base system.Is there anything I can do that will repair my HD without erasing all my files?

I'm having some problems with my MacBook Pro so I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks. Â
I hold command+R at startup and get to the OS X Utilities.Â
I click "Reinstall OS X." I already tested it and I AM connected to the internet.Â
I click "continue" when it says it needs to verify the eligibility of my computer with Apple (it's definitely eligible).Â
An error message pops up. It says "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.Â
It's plugged in, I've tried restarting, I've checked the internet connection and it's working fine. Â
How to get this to work?

My iMac (2009 version) OS 10.9.4 runs sloooow to start and load. It takes about 5 minutes before I can use my IMac. I have used DiskWarrior, TechToolPro, and ran DiskUtilities repair permissions and disk a zillion times with no difference. I wanted to try "Restore" feature by starting up with Option key held down. I do not use TimeMachine. I used DiskUtilites to repair permissions and disc with no difference. I note that there is a choice to reinstall new copy of OS X. Will that result in wiping out all my third party applications?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently did a complete erase of my hard drive and re-installed Mavericks. I chose to start clean rather than use any Time Machine back-ups. I used the same external hard drive for my new Time Machine back-ups. Now I cannot open any back-ups/items prior to the re-install via Time Machine. They are listed along the right hand sidebar in Time Machine (star wars view) but will not open when clicked on.Â
Some files I can access if I go to the actual backup folder - ex a Pages doc BUT ff I try to open the iPhoto library from the back-up folders stored on the external drive, I get the following error message -
I cannot open the iPhoto "package" to access individual photos from these back-ups.Â
So - how can I get Time Machine to allow access to the pre-install back-ups??Â

I would like to make a fresh and clean install of Snow Leopard. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2008 and it came with 10.6. I did upgrade to 10.6 last year when it came out but now I would like to wipe everything off it, format it and reinstall 10.6 so it looks brand new. How do I do that? Do I need to install 10.5 first and then 10.6 or can I directly install 10.6? And what application do I need to load?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am planing on selling my MBP. I needed to erase everything and reinstall OS X. I reformatted the drive, everything went ok. It started to install 10.5 but part way through the install, it froze at a time. I let it sit for about an hour. No change. Trying to click any of the menu icons at the top resulted in beach balling. I then, after reading advice, hard shut off the machine and rebooted to retry the install. Now, I just get a folder with a question mark and, when pressing "c" to have it boot from disk, it reads it, then ejects it. I need help to fix the problem. This is on a Macbook Pro Late 2007 edition.
View 5 Replies View Relatedmy MBP (early 2008) seems to have a corrupted SMC.Operations that i think are managed by the SMC like booting and sleeping are having big issues:Â First, to boot OSX needs about 10 minutes.After presing the power-buton the chime sounds and the apple logo appears. OSX starts loading.
Then it suddenly stops and a blue screen appears. This blue screen stays there for several minutes. Then i can hear a little sound from the hard disc  and the desktop appears as always and i can use OSX without any problems. Second, to get the MBP to sleep isnt working at all. Closing the MBP leads to a black screen, while the fans etc are still working. There is no way to wake it up again, so i have to do a force shut down. Â
I already formated the hard disc and reinstalled OSX 10.6 twice, but the problem still occurs.And I already tried to reset the SMC (pressing 5sec power button etc) and tried to clean the PRAM. I have no clue if the resets were actually done. I didnt have to enter passwords etc again like i was expecting to do after a PRAM-Reset. Is there a way to reinstall the SMC? I tried to but i got the message "Firmware is already up to date. No update necessary."Â

I am able to format the HD, and partition it. This HD came out of another laptop of mine that I sold and was working fine. When I first tried this and did a time keeper restore, the laptop kept freezing and it took 5 hours for it to restore. Now I can't get OS-X installed. So I am a bit confused what is going on here.
Anyone have any ideas?
My Air was such a nice laptop, but after installing 10.5.8 it has become a nightmare. I want to reinstall the os, but it wont do it.I have installed remote disk, and trying to remotely reinstall it. I do what it says: Turn off my MBA and hold option in while i turn it back on. However, when I turn it back on, no airport shows. I click the (...) and write the name of my airport and i write the pw, but it wont connect. It has been trying to connect for about 15minutes now, but nothing happens..I dont need any other CDs then what came with the air, right? Im using "Mac OS X install disk 1" now.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have had my first MacBook now for about a year. Its beginning to slow down quite a bit, which is expected I guess. I have been looking around for ways to speed things up, but I do not know what they mean, how they work, how to do it. I have a MacBook Pro 13in, 2.53 C2D, 4 GB ram, 500 GB hard drive, running 10.6.4. I also have a bootcamp of Win7 64 bit Ultimate but I am not having any problems with that.
Apparently there is a way to reinstall the OSX that preserves everything, but a clean install of the operating system. I bought this before Snow Leopard, so do I insert the Snow Leopard disc to do it? I tried restarting and booting from the disc but I must have missed something because it just booted normal.

When I insert the device it pops up a window and I click the install icon; it tells me it will not reboot, which it does.
