I have an 11inch Macbook air and I wiped the internal SSD with the intention of reinstalling the operating system to start fresh as I was running out of storage and no longer required the applications and files I had.
I was going to reinstall using the recovery USB stick thing that comes with the laptop however this USB stick doesn't work (I can't even get my other laptop to recognize it and I know how to reinstall from the USB as I had done it sucesfully before). I thought no problem I will use my Snow Leopord CD however that doesn't work either and when a try to install a Mac OSX operating system (both Lion and Snow Leopord) my computer shows a symbol of a circle with a line through it (like a "No Smoking" sign).
I am very good at computers and am actually studying for an IT related certificate now so I don't know why I can't figure this problem out. I'm really stuck. Can anyone give me some advice?
Edit: I'm going to the genius bar tomorrow hopefully they can help if anyone can give me some help before then please do.
Thanks.
