ACCESSING INTERNET ON WINDOWS VISTA AFTER PARTITIONNG THE HARD DRIVE. HELP?

We have just bought a new Apple Imac. We partitioned the Hard drive, using Bootcamp in order, to install Windows Vista Home edition (so that we can run our Sage Accounting package), We have been able to access our broadband internet with no problems on the Apple side of the partition, however on Windows we are finding it impossible to set up a connect, either ethernet or wireless. When we go into device manager in Vista it states that Broadcom network adapter cannot start (code 10). I believe this is a driver issue; However, I've contacted Microsoft and they have been unable to help, I have since contacted Apple and they said they don't offer support for Microsoft products. So we're basically stuck in limbo!! Can anyone help us or throw any ligt on what we could try next? Any input would be much appreciated. In anticipation of a reply, many thanks.

I believe this is a driver issue;
You did install those drivers from the DVD that came w/the computer didn't you?

How do I rescue OS X Lion after reseting the hard drive ?

After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and itunes, it seems that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior..

After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and my ipod (Classic 160gb) it would seem that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior to the original harddrive's failure for Tiger OSX 10.4.11
Any ideas on the subject would be most helpful
Thanks in advance
Dingoh

The last security update released for Tiger users was the 2009-005 update. The latest version of QuickTime is 7.6.4. The last version of iTunes that can run on Tiger is 9.2.1, because 10.0 only supports Mac OS X Leopard and later.
So, are you on version 9.2.1?
Was it Tiger or Leopard you had on the drive before?
iTunes 9.2.1 download...

Macbook Pro keeps freezing after replaced the hard drive

hi there,
recently, my macbook pro (15" 2.53 ghz, 4gb ram, 250gb hdd) hard drive crashed, having no warranty left, i went through all of the troubleshooting but nothing worked. i took it into futureshop and they tried the diagnostic and concluded that the hard drive crashed, and they told me to find a new hard drive in their store and theyll replace it for free (because it only takes a few minutes). i found a 500GB 2.5" SEAGATE hard drive in the store, and they fit it in for me. then i took it home and installed the O/S myself.
IT WORKED GREAT!!!!! but my other hard drive was too corrupt to save any of the data, so i had to start from scratch :/
after about a week or so, my mac gradually starting freezing up more and more, and i was worried because that was the initial problem i had.
its been about a month and a half since the first freeze, and im sick of it! about 4 or 5 times a day, the thing would just stop everything its doing, and the mac wheel would spin for about 30 seconds or so froze,, and then go back to normal.
whats confusing is that when im on skype and the mac freezes, i can still talk to the person from voice to voice, but EVERYTHING else just stops lik my itunes and the words im typing.
SO PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE ITS KILLING ME!!!!
i am willing to do anything or even replace my hard drive again just to fix this problem, so please your help would be greatly appreciated!
THANKS !!!

Hi r,
Why not bring it back to the place you bought the HD and have them test it? If it is the HD, many places will give you a new HD if it has been under a certain time period (often 30 days), otherwise you may have to send it in to Seagate for a warranty replacement.

My Macbook Pro has it's screws missing one by one and I knew my horrible nosy distant relative who has access to my apartment has been removing the hard drive to access the data. Does a) sign in password, b) Filevault offers protection?

I use Filevault now. But still is it safe ? Before it was only a sign in password. Answers appreciated .

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
What FileVault does in Lion and Mountain Lion is encrypt the whole hard drive, so if you don't type your user password when you start the Mac with FileVault, it's near impossible to access to the data because the hard drive can't be accessed.
In Lion and Mountain Lion, FileVault encrypts all the hard disk, so your files are safer than with FileVault in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The thief will probably be unable to access to the files

How to sync an iPod Touch after replacing the hard drive

Hello,
The hard drive on my second MacBook Pro failed, so we had a new one fitted.
I recovered most of the data using Data Rescue, so I can grab the music files, photos, Pages files, etc.
However I can't get the User data from the damaged drive, nor any of the software programs and serial numbers so I'm effectively starting again with just the software that comes with a 'new' Mac.
The Apple ID on the iPod Touch is very similar to [email protected]
When I launched iTunes for the first time on the MacBook Pro I entered that email address, but it seemed like a new account was started (?).
I connected the iPod Touch to the MacBook Pro.
The message I got was...
"The iPod "Toby's iPod Touch" is synced with another itUnes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?"
I clicked Cancel.
What do I need to do to get iTunes to recognise this iPod Touch so it finds all the apps we bought for it?
I have a funny feeling that we are logged in as [email protected] in iTunes, but this isn't the same account as the Apple ID of [email protected] on the iPod Touch. Or have I misunderstood something?
Extra info: I think this computer was working with a User name of Chris Payne, but since it's had a new internal drive we've only set up an account called Toby Payne.
I'd appreciate your help! Thank you!

""The iPod "Toby's iPod Touch" is synced with another itUnes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?""
This is correct. There is no way around this. The ipod touch will sync with one and only one computer/library at a time. If you sync to another, it will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new drive/library.
You can transfer itunes purchases ( including apps) from the ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

How do I authorise my Imac for Itunes after replacing the hard drive?

Dear All,
Apologies, but I am new to forums and understand that the issue of "Authorisation" of Itunes purchases and rentals has been done to death! However, I have tried everything and have exhausted normal research on the Net, there doesnt seem to be standard sollution to my problem. I have replaced the Hard Drive in my Imac 2008 with an SSD which makes the Imac very fast and effcient and completely clean of the usual trash in an old computer. So before renting my first movie, I did the following:..................................
Formatted the hard drive and downloaded and upgraded to OSX to 10.5.8 (the latest I can go on this Imac (I think) Intel 3.06Ghz 2 core and 4GB SSDRAM)
Upgraded Itunes to the latest available
Upgraded Quicktime to the latest available.
I rented a film which will not play and initially I got the "not authorised on this computer" message which kept repeating despite saying it was "waiting"
So I did the usual apple support search and tried the following:..................................
I checked that my apple User ID and password where up to date and that I was purchasing on the right ID
Tried the standard.....Itunes/Store/Authorise this computer - tried unauthorising and then re-authorising No luck
I tried deleting the (/Users/Shared/SC info) file No luck
I tried the Terminal based solution "sumo chmod -R 777 /Shared/Users" fix It didnt work either
I don't get the authorisation warning any more but just get a black screen with a grey horizontal stripe across the middle
I would be very grateful if somene could give me another sollution to try............................
Thank you very much,
Sfithy

Double & triple check that you installed the hard drive correctly.

How to fix my mac after erasing the hard drive?

So I decided earlier today that I wanted to reset my Macbook Air (2011 I think) to factory settings. Being me, I didn't do enough research and ended up erasing my hard drive in Disk Utility. I'm not entirely tech savvy, but I erased the hard drive in which Macintosh HD was a partition of. Now, whenever I turn on my computer, there's just a blank screen with a blinking folder with a question mark on it. My mac won't go into recovery mode or anything. Do I have to go out and buy a new OS X disc?

Did your Mac come with a USB stick with the original OS X on it? If so, you could use that.
Check out this page for help on Recovery. OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
Also, if you bought it from an Apple store, best call them for help.
Presumably, you do not have a bootable backup.

Windows Vista reinstallation messed up hard drive partitions

I reinstalled Windows Vista (using the Recovery and Applications/Drivers disk) on a family member's Satellite A135-4477 laptop. However, before the reinstallation, when I went into My computer, it showed one hard drive as around 180 GB, and a smaller one (I guess its used by the system or something?). According to Google, this computer has 2 hard drives, one is 80 GB and one is 100 GB. After the reinstallation, it shows these 2 hard drives separately at roughly the sizes desribed above. I tried to use the Windows Disk Management menu (in he control panel) to combine them, but that failed. I then tried again using the command line Diskpart command, but it gave an error that it couldn't merge partitions from separate disks. So is there any way to combine them back into one volume, the way they were shown before? If not, is there a way reinstall Vista again, but tell it to install on the 100 GB drive (It's currently on the 80 GB one)

Satellite A135-S4477
After the reinstallation, it shows these 2 hard drives separately..
As the spec above shows, that model has a single physical hard drive. What you are seeing are partitions in that drive. This Toshiba article explains what they are for.

Best to leave those partitions alone to function as designed.

Help! Error 0xc000000f after changing the hard drive!

Please help. I have gone through this entire forum and NOTHING is working for me. My HP G42-303DX Notebook is only a few years old. I accidentally dropped it and apparently the harddrive broke. I purchased a new one and installed it. Forgetting that I received NO back-up or recovery discs, I purchased the ones from the HP website. As soon as I got them, I installed it. After all recovery discs were installed I got the following error:
==============================================================================
Boot Manager:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1.Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
2.Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".
3.Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
===============================================================================
I have done ALL the testing and everything comes out as "passed". I decided to remove the final disc, but then I noticed that my notebook was not ejecting the disc. Also, I cannot boot from the disc drive. I have reset my computer hundreds of times and it will not eject it. I have pressed F10 as per the other sites, changed the boot order etc etc and I still get the same error (above) and the disc drive will not open and/or will not be recognized by the notebook.
Stupid question to all the experts out there, but I thought the recovery discs included windows? Yes or no?
Any help you guys can give me I would greatly appreciate it. I am desperate. Again, I have read forum after form and I still cannot fix this. My work is very strict and have blocked numerous websites, even some to pay my utility bills on. But my work computer is the only computer I have access to.
Please help!!! I really don't want to resort to going to a tech company to get my laptop fixed.

Hello sincityjenn,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you're trying to get your Notebook up and running after replacing the harddrive and are running into an error. I will try to help you with this.
I would like you to read over this document: Looking for HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive?
This statement at the start of the document should asnwer a question you had "An HP recovery solution can be used to return a computer's software configuration to its original condition". This imply's that you already have the OS on the computer.
What you would need is an installation disk for Windows, and to actually re-install the OS. If that doesn't work then you may actually wanna call support and run the situation by them to see what options are availible to you.

How to make arch bootable after shifting the hard drive?

I have two hard drives, each having an OS installed (Arch on sda, Win on sdb). I change the boot order in BIOS to switch between the OS's, and it works fine. Grub is installed in mbr.
But now I wanna change the connection of these two drives (Arch=>sdb, Win=>sda). After doing that, however, windows is still bootable, while Arch not any more.
I can sucessfully see Grub, but errors occur after that. I'm not sure what I should do to make Arch bootable. Can anyone give me some ideas?

If you can see Grub, then the system is reading it OK, but you'll need to boot the system and fix your /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab files to refer to hd(1) and sdb respectively.
To boot the system, you have 2 options:
1) When Grub shows up, press 'e' to edit the "ArchLinux" entry. Then press 'e' again to edit the 'root' line and then change hd(0,0) to hd(1,0) (the second number might be different depending how your partition table is setup). Then you can press 'b' to boot.
2) Use an install CD to boot, then mount your Arch partition and edit the files from there

I need to reinstall Snow Leopard on a MacBook 1.1 after replacing the hard drive. The DVD drive is not working. What is the best way to do this?

My hard drive died. I installed a new one and want to restore from my Time Machine back up, but my DVD drive will not read my Snow Leopard upgrade disc. It did read the grey Tiger install discs that came with the coumputer, so I now am back to 10.4.11, but how do I restore from my Time Machine backup from this point? The system does recognize the Time Machine Drive, but "restore from backup" simply copies the entire contents to new hard drive. have access to an external USB DVD drive, but I cannot boot my Snow Leopard upgrade DVD from it.

This article contains instructions for reinstalling OSX on older Macbook Airs. It should also apply to your situation. Give it a try.
