Mac Installation Errors You Encounter and How to Fix Them

Would not let me reinstall OS X. Would any think it is more than a bad internal drive 1? I pulled the drive 1 out, checked all the pins and reinstalled into its slot firmly. It goes to grey screen and first tone There is not the "Reinstall the OS X" in my computer. Why not? Now what can I do? Please help me. I really need my computer for work. Whenever I turn on my iMac, it would load up to the apple logo and shut down after a few seconds.

This happened ever time i tried to turn it back on again. I had a bit of hope but nothing ever changed so I decided to erase my disk and was immediately promoted me to restart my computer. When I did, it brought me a a symbol of a folder with a question mark which flashed forever. I held the power button to turn it off and hit it to turn it on again while pressing command and R keys at the same time, it brings me a sign of a spinning globe that loads forever. When I restart it and immediately insert its installation DVD while pressing key C, it brings me the apple logo and stays like that for ages.

This is freaking me out. I have read and tried so may solutions online but nothing has changed.

OVERWHELMED BY TECH?

Please help me with another way. If I am currently running a public beta of El Capitan, will this method still work and install the official release of El Capitan? There's a good chance that it will re-install the public beta version, since it was the most recent OS installed on your Mac. Apple suggests installing from the Mac App Store instead.

Now I need to format the new HD. Do I need a utility disk? I never created one on this Macbook Pro can I create a utility disk from a newer iMac? Select the disk from the menu, select your language, then choose Disk Utility from the Utility drop-down menu and proceed to reformat it to the right settings. Then you can go back and install the OS. Try again later can anyone help me how to recover all the apps without recovery disc and without back up?

I am just wondering. Now when I turn it on I get the Apple and the perpetually spinning wheel. I booted into single-user mode and attempted the process again but this time.

    Got thru step 3 after I figured out there was no space before the period of. What happens after the reboot is the sign-in screen appears asking for a name and password. Nothing entered works to get past this point. I think the resources which enable the Login and Login Options are so badly damaged that only a complete system installation can fix. A perfect advice for entire world to use this unified examples. Very beautifully recovered my system, using your tricky methods. Congratulation for you support. Thank you very much. It will not work for me I have tried the Command S so many times durring reboot and powering on but it never goes to the terminal only the log in.

    Reset Admin Password on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6

    Thank you so much for the help!!! I just had to reset my password and this worked perfect on the first try…. I cant get past the welcome wizard; i fill out everything and continue on to the next but once im done and I reach click on the button that creates the account, which should be the last step. It then starts me up all over again on the welcome wizard! Got the set up wizard part done, however system preferences and a number of other applications on the dock appear as question marks and do not open.

    Can anyone help me fix this? For this till step 3 is ok. In fact, it appears my computer does not show the administrator account if it exists. Please help!!! I followed all of the instructions, but instead of the welcome wizard coming up, the log in screen comes back!!!
