How to pick a startup disk for your Mac at boot. Keep in mind that your Mac can only start up from a disk. Speed up iCloud access & software downloads. Download the latest version of Apple Startup Disk 9.2.1 - Boot OS9 or OSX on same partitioned drive. Download the latest versions of the best Mac apps at safe and trusted MacUpdate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. In July 2011 I purchased a MAC Pro. Since July, I mainly use the computer for saving pictures, going on the internet. I only downloaded two programs: Microsoft Office and Smartboard Technology. In the beginning of September I randomly received a message saying my Startup Disk was full. Two weeks ago I brought the computer back to Best Buy to the Geek Squad. After looking at it, they had no idea what was wrong. When they looked at the disk, the bar was filled up with 'other'. However, they could not figure out what was the 'other'. They said it probably needed a new harddrive. Yesterday I recieved the computer back, to find that nothing was done at all and the Startup disk is still full. When I called Geek Squad they said it was probably the Operating Drive (might be calling it the wrong name) and I would either have to: A) Use the disk which came with the computer to restore the computer back to factory, or B) bring it in and pay $199 for them to fix the problem. So I tried to put the disk in, but I am receiving an error message which says: 'You can't use this version of the application Install MAC OS X with this version of MAC OS X.' If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Historically, Mac OS X has not been willing to Install older Mac OS X over newer. If you are willing to erase EVERYTHING, and have a Broadband connection to the Internet, you can download and install Mac OS X online. But it is really Big, about 4GB in size. But you can also have then show you how to do that at the store, where it will take much less time loaded from a Server in the Store. And it may not even be necessary. I would ask the Genius first. Appointments recommended. If you want to proceed, and you have an Internet connection, hold down Command=R as you restart. This boots up from the pre-installed 'Recovery HD' that Mac OS X 10.7 places on your Hard drive. From there, you can use Disk Utility by choosing it off the Utilities Menu, and REPAIR or ERASE your drive. Then quit Disk Utility and you can try to Install.
