I have a 2009 macbook, and I had no problems with it in these years.
Yesterday I turned it on, and for some unknown reasons, the apple menu bar didn't showed the icons of Wi-Fi, Battery and Clock
I figured that they were working just fine, but they weren't there. I looked this problem up in the web, and it said that a file named SystemUIServer wasn't working correctly. I tried to fix it, but it wouldn't work right. I gave my macbook to a friend of mine, who is a developer, and he told me i should clean up my mac or restore it, after backing it up.
After i backed it up on an external hdd, I tried to restore it, using the disk utility. The disk utility told me to restart the system while pressing the alt button, so I did. After it turned on, the mac os x lion had to be reinstalled, but it just said error on installing, try reinstall. I tried to do that numerous times, but it wouldn't install, so i tried erasing the macintosh hd (after that i wanted to kill myself!!!!), and next thing I know, I can't install lion, I cannot go back, I can't even install snow leopard, which i have in a cd! Please I need help!
