Hi @delilahsmock9418, thank you for asking. I appreciate it. Are you able to provide me with more details? Please let me know and I'll see if I can help. By chance, did you subscribe to my channel? :) Have a great day!

Hi @SidiMohamedAbdelWedoud-v9d, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. The blinking "?" means that you've fully erased your SSD drive. That's good if you're returning the computer or selling it. My guess... you want to keep it. What you need to do is use the disk utility (an option during the start up/reboot process), and format your drive. Your computer doesn't see the SSD right now because you wiped it. Formatting it allows your computer to see it. Follow the steps pinned to the comments ^^^ for a step by step guide to reinstall the OS. I hope that helps.

Hi @nancythompson6465, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I've been on vacation. You are correct, iCloud has rearranged the screen once again. It's still there, but they moved it. Time for a new video. :) Up in the top right hand corner of the window, you will see the share icon. It's a square with an upward arrow running through it. Click on that and you will see export to V-Card. I hope that helps. By chance, did you subscribe to my channel? :) Have a great day!

Lol! Sorry, I'm too poor to own both phones. :) However, I believe that your phone connects directly with Gmail and Contacts. You should be able to directly import Excel to your Google contacts. I hope that helps.

i got into recovery mode. and first aid. there was no "ok" to click. I wish i could send photos. i clicked on 750.16 g toshiba and then on verify disk and it spit out some i fo that ended with "the partition map appears to he ok" and then I selected repair and the same result. i clicked on the other disk "disk1" and "macosxbasesystem" and the verify and repair options are shaded out. so i went back to try to install the os fingers crossed and it took me to a page that says "mac os x lion" "select the disk where you want to install mac os x" and there is an empty box with a shaded out "install"

i went back to disk utility and clicked on "diskOs2" under the toshiba disk and clicked on verify and repair. both said "volume failed: unrecognized file system"

Just press install and the the macos version it says you'll still be able to update it my mom showed me

Hey there, sorry about the reply being a little bit delayed. Went on vacation and of course the holidays. I’m not a fan of that particular dish because it’s too shallow, and the edges are pulled in with the black mask. You’d expect that to create a narrower beam of light, but it doesn’t. It’s more complicated to assemble, and for all the effort involved, it doesn’t deliver much. Once you build it out and add the front diffusion, it essentially becomes a 12" white diffusion modifier-not a beauty dish at all. The black corners intended to control the light just disrupt the clean falloff you’d get from a proper beauty dish. I understand that Cheetah Stand products aren’t true beauty dishes either, but they’re far more versatile for the same amount of cargo space. You can get four or more different modifiers out of a single unit. Check them out. If you'd like to use my link they will sport me a few pennies of their marketing budget. : Hahah: cheetahstand.com/seanseymour Let me know what you decide to do. Cheers.

Right! More vidoes on this coming because these companies just won't stop! Cheers.

Awesome! Sorry for the delayed response. Been on vacation and holidays. Glad you picked one up. It will be a blast.

Hey, sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I've been on vacation and of course the holidays. I've never seen what you're describing, even in my older computers. Is there any chance that you can start the computer in Internet recovery mode versus using the command prompt? The timing is a little tricky, but after pressing the power on button, if you press Option-Command-R: Starts up from macOS Recovery over the internet, OR Option-Shift-Command-R: Starts up from macOS Recovery over the internet and reinstalls the version of macOS that came with your Mac. Make sure your Internet connection is clean, meaning no firewalls, etc. Usually if you're doing this from home you won't have to worry about it. Work or public WiFi may give you trouble. Sorry, I can't be of more help. Please let me know how it goes. Cheers!

@@358studiosthanks. I’ve now fixed it

There's always one... haha. Check the comments. You're not the first and I can only hope that you're the last. :) My guess... you want to keep the computer, not return it or sell it. Let's try something, give me more detail about where you got stuck and I will see if I can help. You can also review the pinned comments for instructions on how to reinstall your OS if you're not wanting to return or sell the computer. Cheers.

Hi @caroldj.jenkins1843, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. For everything I show in the video, you'll need the Apple ID and password for the computer user that set it up. Apple may be able to help recover the password if needed. Sorry I couldn't help further. By chance, did you subscribe to my channel? :) Have a great day!

Hi @Siahs_E82, if I had a dollar for every.... lol :) Although your comment is misinformed and misguided, your computer is fine. I would like to point out that this video is purposefully meant to wipe your computer clean and render it a blank system, so that you can return it or sell it to a third-party without fear of your personal information leaking to others. It is NOT meant to show you how to install the OS after cleaning everything off of the computer. That said, there are instructions on how to reinstall the OS pinned in the comments below (first comment). Give that a go and let me know how it goes. Have a great day!

Hi @carriegiordano5257, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. I'm not sure if it would work for 4. I'd have to take a look. You may be able to use the battery area for a fourth and the cord area for batteries. It really depends on your workflow and the equipment (cords, batts) that you bring to the shoot. For me, I set this case up early-on with my studio, before having two shooting stations (4 lights), and it worked well. Most of my location shoots only needed 3 strobes and if I needed accents I used my AD200Pro's (much less bulky) Not sure if that helps, but please let me know what you find out. I'm curious. :) By chance, did you subscribe to my channel? :) Have a great day!

Hi @joeybailey9628, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. This sounds like a communication error. Are you by chance using a wireless trigger? Please let me know and I'll see if I can help. By chance, did you subscribe to my channel? :) Have a great day!

Hi @farfromfear6941, thank you for asking. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, you seem to be in a very small group of folks that assumed the purpose of this video was a clean install of the OS. Nope, it's to wipe everything off your computer so you can confidently return it or sell it without any of your info remaining. It's NOT to help you reinstall the OS or clean and continue to use the computer. If you'd like to provide more detail other than "The sky is falling, shoot everyone! RUN for the hills!", I will try to help. How about starting with WHAT you're trying to accomplish and some information about where you're running into complication? Also, double check the comment section, where I pinned how to get your OS reinstalled and running again... if that is what you're trying to do. Have a great day!

That's awesome that this is still being used. It took me a while to figure this out, but great to hear it worked well for you! cheers!

Hi @commygaming, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. I really love people like you! This video is NOT to clean your Mac and have it work after. This video is to clean your Mac, wipe it clean, so you can return it or sell it without fearing that your personal data would be at risk. If you want to continue using your computer after you've cleaned it, reinstall the operating system using Internet Recovery. Follow the directions I pinned in the comments below.

@ yeah all good I’ll just go return it with a blinking question mark anytime I turn it on ya ufa

If you're asking for help... whelp, I've always found name calling the best way to get some good quality help. Especially, when I had no clue what I was talking about and looked more and more silly with every comment I made. Fortunately for you, you're not the first. LOL! BTW, Apple would be just fine with you returning a computer with a blinking "?", and here's why... The blinking ? means that you need to format your drive. The computer doesn't recognize it because it was erased. Basic stuff with new SSD's and new installs. Sounds like you're new to how to wipe and reinstall the OS, but trust me your computer is fine and this is a normal thing. Format the drive and reinstall the OS. It's all part of the process. Enjoy.

Hi @berwynrealestateexplained, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. I realize this video is older, and the interface has changed, but all of the functionality is still there. It's just been moved. I've scheduled to update this video with another one showing the new interface. I'll have that out soon. By chance, did you subscribe to my channel? :) Have a great day!

Hi @jenjen3770, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. To get rid of your archived emails, you should be able to highlight them and delete them. This sends them to the deleted folder where you can delete them once again and they will be gone forever. I found this is easier to do on a computer than it is through the phone, but please let me know how it goes for you. By chance, did you subscribe to my channel? :) Have a great day!

Hi @SalvvOrtiz, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. I think this may be because your system drive is the drive that you're trying to erase. Double check and see if there is a secondary data drive. That would be the one you wanna highlight and try to erase. Please let me know how it goes for you I'll help if I can. By chance, did you subscribe to my channel? :) Have a great day!

@@358studios Thanks, I solved the problem, and yes I subscribed.

Hi @drmjsteinbaum5081, thank you for asking. Double-check that you haven't signed up with another provider. Many times you can access a service on your iPhone so it seems like you should be able to cancel it from your iPhone, but you actually signed up using Amazon or Google or some other service provider (like direct from the app/service's website). If you didn't pay for it through the Apple Store, this won't work. I hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes. By chance, did you subscribe to my channel?

Hi @simpleitup1843, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. I know I'm in the same boat, but I'm pretty sure Apple Google Amazon and the government know everything about all of us at this point. :) By chance, did you subscribe to my channel? :) Have a great day!

Hi @dancingkoii, thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. I realize this video is a little bit older and needs to be updated for the new user interface being used by Google and Apple. Everything is still there and functional they just moved things around. I will get that video out shortly. By chance, did you subscribe to my channel? :) Have a great day!

Please read my last comment for directions about how to reinstall your operating system. This video is not a video about how to reinstall your operating system, but I give you all of the steps in the pinned comments below.
