Pavillion G6. Shrunk C Drive, and formatted the other as I drive. Had some problems with my printe

I shrank C drive. that left me with another drive, which I formatted as drive I. The recovery drive is D, as it was when I received the computer. I had some problems with my printer (Epson) through a Dlink DIR655B1, and wanted to return the computer to factory condition.
When I try to use the recovery through Windows, it says factory reset is disabled?? When I try to shut down, reboot, and use the bios restore, it just comes up with an error message, says to use the dvd that came with the computer, which it didn't?
Any way I can put this all back to normal?
Thanks

You damaged the partition structure when you shrank C, see this guide to properly add a 5th partition after you get it restored using HP recovery media.

For a while now my computer has been saying " Start up disk is nearly full", however I don't have a lot of stuff saved on the computer I moved a lot to a flash drive, and all the other stuff are songs and recently saved essays for school. Help.

For a while now my computer has been saying " Start up disk is nearly full", however I don't have a lot of stuff saved on the computer I moved a lot to a flash drive, and all the other stuff are songs and recently saved essays for school. I have and frequently empty my trash can. I have researched this before and i see a lot of things that say get a external hard drive, but before I go and purchase one I want to make sure there is no other, simpler way, to solve this problem. Help Please.

You need an external drive so you can free up disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Purchased 2 iphone 5's. Both have cracked the screen in the first week. Never had this problem with the previous versions iphones being so fragile.

I purchased 2 iphone 5's. One for my husband and one for me. Both have cracked the screen in the first week. I even have a case on mine. Never had this problem with the previous versions iphones being so fragile. Has anyone else experienced this?

Tests by some of the web sites and magazines claim that the iPhone 5 is in fact more rugged than previous models. That doesn't obviate the possibility of an assembly defect that would make yours more susceptible to damage, but if you dropped or impacted them and they cracked, then your warranty will not apply and you'll have to pay for replacement, either the AppleCare+ "deductible", if you purchased AppleCare+ with your iPhone, or Apple's normal out-of-warranty replacement charge.
You can of course make an appointment at an Apple Store, explain the situation, and hope that there's something they can do for you. Don't count on it, though.

When I use "tabs from other computers," some of the tabs from the other computer show (7/11) and others don't, and going the other way, it keeps showing some tabs that have been closed.

Desktop is running Windows XP and laptop is using Windows 7. Both have the latest version of Firefox.
I press the Synch buttom before I press the "show tabs" button.

I think I may have solved the problem. I cleared the cache, and then the old tabs no longer appeared. I think the ones that weren't showing were tabs that were already on the other computer.
Haven't yet checked thoroughly.
I can't upgrade easily because I have HughesNet, which limits downloads. Last time I downloaded Windows upgrade to my laptop, I went over the limit and got slowed down to slower than dial-up. And as mentioned in question, I *did* press Synch Now before asking for tabs.
Also, if I did all the upgrades that various pieces of software want me to do, I'd have no time to get any work done.
But thanks for the ideas.

TS1398 I am getting when manually entering wifi info of "Could not scan for wireless networks" wireless is working on other devices, how do I cure this? The problem only began when I updated software on the phone. Previously I had no problems with wifi.

After updating software on Iphone (wifi worked fine before the software update) I now can not get on wifi. The phone with not find a working wifi network nor can I connect manually. Wifi is working on other devices. I have turned the phone on and off, turned the wifi router on and off and reset the iphone and down loaded updated software to the phone. Nothing has worked. Does anyone have an answer for this problem?

Could this be the problem?
iPhone 4 Modem Firmware : 3.0.04
iPhone 4S Modem Firmware : 2.0.10
Wifi is working on my iPhone 4, NOT on 4S -
Why is my new 4S I got yesterday using a 2.0.10 firmware, isn't that old?! Isn't the newest 4.0+?
I am so tired of trying to figure this out.
The Wi-Fi addresses in the About settings are different on both phones too.

I have had some problems with my iMac and had to wipe out and reinstall all my software, but for PSE-11 I get a message saying that there is a Configuration Error: 6, and to contact Adobe Support. However, that rude agent told me I'd have to seek help vi

I just asked the questions above; do I need to ask them again? I got an Error: 6 Configuration warning when reinstalling PSE-11. The agent at Adobe said since it wasn't the latest version that he couldn't help me. He said to try the forum. So--anyone know what needs to be done to account for Error: 6?

First try:

TS1367 Got a Riptunes MP3 player and put USB cord from mp3 player to MacBook Pro to install music and it immediately shut down my computer and it will not turn back on and wont charge now...never had a problem with computer before

Got a Riptunes MP3 player and put USB cord from MP3 player to MacBook Pro to transfer songs and my computer immediately shut down and won't power back up and won't charge now....what do I do!?

Take it in for a service diagnostic so you can determine if it's worth fixing or if you should buy a new one.

With Lion, How Can I Erase the Hard Drive and Reinstall The System Software?

I plan on buying a used iMac with a Core 2 Duo so that I can run Lion. Since Lion can only be purchased at the Mac App store what if I needed to erase my hard drive and re-install the system software. How can I do this without a DVD with the OS on it like I have for Snow Leapard. I suppose that I could boot from my Snow Leapard DVD and do the erase. Then, I supposed I would be able to download Lion again from the Mac App Store without paying for it again. But, how would you erase a hard drive and reinstall the system software when purchasing a new Mac with Lion already installed and no DVD at all with the OS on it?
-- Kaydell

When someone purchases any Apple computer with a DVD Drive, they should have recieved two DVDs... One contains the Operating System (up to Snow Leopard, Lion no longer ships on DVD) and the other contains the SYSTEM SOFTWARE (i.e. iLife and iWork). To install the software, they just insert the DVD with the SYSTEM SOFTWARE into any compatible Mac and run the installer. There is no need to erase the hard drive to install SYSTEM SOFTWARE. Maybe a friend can let you borrow the SYSTEM SOFTWARE DVD. The other option is to purchase the software via the App Store.
FYI... App Store purchases are linked to the PURCHASER'S APPLE ID. So if you buy a used Mac from a friend and that Mac already has Lion installed on it,that Lion purchase is linked to YOUR FRIEND'S APPLE ID, not yours. So if you want to download Lion again, you will have to enter your FRIEND'S APPLE ID AND PASSWORD. You can always have your friend re-download Lion and make you a DVD copy.

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies on to my thumb drive and WD My Passport external hard drive. My Mac keeps saying "can't be copy because it is too large for the volumes format

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies onto my thumb drive and WD my passport external hard drive.My Mac is saying that can't be copied because it is too large for volumes format

[file] is too large for the volumes format
That is usually an indication that the Volume was never Erased or Partitioned for GUID partition table and Mac OS, and is still in a Windows format.
Mac OS X Extended (journaled) has no such file-size limitations

HT201376 I've erased and formatted the hard drive accordingly in order to reinstall OS X. everything went fine until about half way through the install. it just seems to stop. how long should this take? should i do something else to speed it up?

About all you can do is wait until it finishes or you get an error message.

After a startup problem with my macbook pro i put it as slave and formatted the internal Hard drive. Now i want to install OS X Mavericks from USB

How can i do that?

What did you "put as slave?" What Mac model do you have, exactly?

Creative cloud licenses, forgot to deactivate one and formatted the drive.

I recently put one of my creative cloud licenses on a Lenovo laptop. My other is on my MacBook which I use primarilly.
My Lenovo was malfunctioning, so I took it in to exchange it and formatted the drive, not thinking that I should deactivate my applications.
My question is, will I be able to use my second license now on my new computer?

Also the process is different for subscription users so we can not just allocate an additional activation as can be done with our perpetual versions.
I wasn't aware of that, Jeff.
What's different about it?

How do I install lion and format the hard drive?

How do I install lion and format the hard drive, as though this was a new mac.

If your Mac is a 2011 model and originally came with Lion Pre-Installed by Apple then you can use the Internet Recovery HD system to Wipe/Erase the Complete drive and Re-Install Lion.
If it is an older model, even and early 2011 model, that did NOT come with Lion Pre-Installed by Apple you can not sell or give it away with Lion installed on it. You have to install the original version of OS X on it.
