Sweet. Except I don't have an installer DVD... How can I go about making one?

I have two laptops, an old white MacBook that was running Snow Leopard and a new MacBook Pro running Lion. The white MB won't start up, gets stuck at the Apple logo with a spinning gear. The CD drive on the MB is broken so a USB drive is my only hope. So on the MBP I tried to make a USB drive...

It did not work.

On a new MacBook Pro running Lion I keep getting a restore failure, error 206. It seems like it's ok though, as I can see all the files on it but when I use option to boot up on an old white Macbook that was/is running Snow Leopard (but not booting up anymore) the USB says EFI boot instead of...

Thanks a ton for the help! But it turns out that it was just the Mini DP to VGA adapter. Bought an official Apple one and all works now. But since I have you here do you think you can help me on another issue I'm having involving a white MacBook not booting? It's the OS that's not loading...

I can do target disk mode and see everything on the MB. Is there a way I can install Snow Leopard to it from target disk mode?

I don't get why I have to plug both of them in for it to work but just the VGA alone won't. VGA worked fine on old Powerbook.

When I turn on the monitor it shows a box that flashes the words "USB" then "Analog" a few times in rotation then goes black. I can't change any settings on the monitor or get to any menu. Thanks a ton for responding btw. I've been posting so many messages for the past few weeks on so many...

anybody???

Can anyone give me a quick walk-thru?

Thanks

I bought a mini displayport to VGA adapter for my MacBook Pro to hook up my Samsun SyncMaster LD220 -- a VGA and USB monitor. Just hooking the monitor up with the Mini DP to VGA doesn't work, doesn't detect. Hooking up USB from laptop to monitor doesn't work either. But connecting both the...

Lion isn't compatible with older versions of Pro Tools so I'm wondering if I can run it in a virtual machine? Thanks

I tried fsck. First time it said it fixed errors, second time said it was ok. Rebooted. Nothing. Tried it again. Says it's ok. Reboot and still get stuck at the spinning wheel. What the hell could possibly be wrong??

Did the fsck until it said it was ok. Rebooted. Still stuck at the spinning wheel...

I tried to check the disk from single user mode before and it didn't change anything. But I'm trying again right now and hoping it will.

Old whitebook has 10.6 installed. The new MBP has 10.7. I didn't have any of those apps installed on the MB. When I do a safe boot I see a progress bar under the spinning circle. When it finishes the progress bar goes away, the spinning circle continues and nothing happens. Holding down...

I've posted this problem I'm having on like 6 forums so far and NONE of them will get a reply. Is this problem impossible to fix or what?? After trying to transfer some apps from my old MacBook to my new MacBook Pro the MacBook stopped responding so I had to do a hard restart. The apps had...

Hello all, I'm looking for some help. I installed a piece of software that has a trial allowing you to test it out for 7 days after installation. I expected to have some time and able to fully check it out but the next day I had to go out of town. Now the trial has expired. I e-mailed the...

Somebody please help! I have a 111 gb hard drive. It had 10-15 gigs free when I installed OSX x86 on it. Now it has 2 gb. The harddrive was used with Windows XP (ntfs file system) before so all of the files were in Windows folders. Now when I'm in OSX I can't view the files. In a PC box I put...
