Recently I have uninstalled the system in order to make it run better : big mistake. Now, when I insert the install dvdand push the option key to reinstall the system, the computer is showing a locked padlock with a place to put a password. I have tried all my password even my apple ID one, thinking that may from icloud but it doesn't work.

macbook came with 3 discs: apps/iLife, grey os x install, and snow leopard. I erased, etc from grey os x . Should I have used the snow leopard instead? or simply install snow leopard after the grey os x . the macbook is about one year old.

I have got my first mac (imac) so sorry if this is a really simple question. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard but I am having bits of trouble with printing. As I have not yet got much data on my Mac I am thinking of going back to my original installation that came with the imac. I have backed up my data I want keep photos, music etc; onto DVD. When I put the installation disc in what is the best option to pick ? I do appreciate that I will have to re-install photoshop and other apps; I have installed. Will I have to re-configure my internet again? Basically I want to re-install the operating system I am also thinking of buying Superdupper any thoughts on this product.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded the internal disc in my MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I had a 320GB and put it a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB. I didn't have the install disc and used the restore option in disk utility to copy files to the new drive before inserting it. It now works, but it's slow to load-up. How do I reinstall my OS, to optimise it? I've lost my original install disc and have since upgraded to Lion 10.7.4Â BTW - my new drive also has some strange noises and I'd like to replace this with a new one ASAP.

How do I reinstall my HD start up disc?
View 1 Replies View RelatedNow, from what googling I've done, it seems the only way to fix this is a fresh install. Only one problem - it will not boot the install disc when I hold "C" at power up.
I've already done the reset (remove battery, hold power 5 sec) and also reset PRAM. Neither of these helped the system recognize the disc.
I just got a macbook from ebay. It didn't come with its original install discs. I know it's the latest white model before the aluminium updates- it has a 2.4ghz processor and 160GB. I want to re-install leopard on it and do an erase and install. Is it OK to use the leopard discs that came with my housemates imacs? Or will they be different in some way?

I can't seem to edit any pictures with Preview anymore since I upgraded to Lion. Every time I try to save an image after resizing or whatever, it says the file is locked. If I check the info of the file the "locked" checkmark is unchecked. And I have all the permissions to the file. Tried everything, switched the "lock after 2 weeks" thing of in Time Machine (even though tha would probably not help: images I took today are still "locked" in Preview), tried copying them and then saving them, and tried to lock them and then unlock them, but I can't seem to edit and save them.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGetting a message within photoshop that files cannot be saved as they are locked. I check the same files with 'Get Info' and the locked file box is unchecked. I have changed file permissions on the entire disc so that everyone can read/write but still the same message. Tried terminal command to uncheck flags also to no avail. I can do save as but a little frustrating. Is there a workaround to get all my files back onside?
This is a new disc that I may have installed without due care to permissions/ownership when I formatted it.

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 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

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?

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 upgrade my iCloud to iCloud Drive when I used the Yosemite . Yesterday, I reinstall Mavericks and then iCloud is not working anymore. I can't see iCloud in Pages , Numbers, Sketch 3 , etc. I can't access any iCloud Data anymore and I can't work at home now.Â
Is there any way to download iCloud Drive or how to do to support iCloud Document and data again in current Mavericks.
