hello d.

dalogrus

how have you been?

everything ok? have you solved your musician friend's mirroring problem?

klanomath

I didn't solve the problem until now

He's just working with his current setup. Or maybe he's still in easter holiday. I haven't heard from him in a while

I have another flower with this MacBook Pro... when I try to <code>cmd+tab</code> between applications - the tiltle on the title bar cchanges but he actual target application window isnt brought up.
There is a similar topic on askdifferent, (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/29705/cmdtab-switches-to-the-correct-space-but-doesnt-bring-app-up-to-front)
but I use spaces on my iMac and it all works, and on the notebook it doesn't...
Might you have any ideas in that respect maybe?

Did you clean install the MacBook Pro?

dalogrus

No, but I am considering it

i will download the installer now

can a fresh install be initiated from a current installation or shall i do it from pressing alt cmd R at startup?

klanomath

Alt-cmd-R will finally install the original OS. Cmd-r will install Yosemite

dalogrus

ok thanks

klanomath

What's the build date of the MacBook Pro?

If you boot to Recovery Mode (Cmd-R) you have to erase "Macintosh HD" with Disk Utility first. Otherwise it won't be a clean install because only the original system files are replaced but no config files. So any misconfig or unwanted apps/system configurations may survive.

13 inch early 2011

Then Lion will be installed booted to Internet Recovery Mode (alt-cmd-r).

dalogrus

so u suggest booting to (alt-cmd-r).which will install a clean Lion and then update to Yosemite?

klanomath

It's not necessary to use a thumb drive. You may just boot to the internal Recovery HD (cmd-r), open disk utility, erase "Macintosh HD" with JHFS+, quit Disk Utility, open Install OS X and then install Yosemite.

dalogrus

ok, this is wha I'll do

klanomath

After booting to Recovery HD you will get a window with 4 entries: 1. OS X Install 2. Restore Time Machine 3. Disk Utility and 4. Safari Help. First click Disk Utility, then erase the disk and finally quit Disk Utility.Then open OS X Install

hmm erase the volume Macintosh HD and not the disk! sorry
