After change of hard drive batteries are not available anymore... Any advice?

After my hard drive has been changed at the Apple Store today (it had corrupted files and didn't work anymore), the battery of my MacBook Pro (13 Inch, Mid 2009, HDD 160GB OSX 10.5) doesn't charge anymore. It shows the "X" in the battery symbol and says "no batteries available". The System Profiler says that the battery is not installed. How can I install it? Any help/advice? I am traveling for three hours from tomorrow morning... Would be great if anybody has quick advice on how to solve this problem myself as I won't be able to go to an Apple Store for the next three weeks. Thanks a lot!

Outside of contacting Apple there's not a whole lot that you can do unless you open the computer up yourself to try and diagnose and fix it which would void your warranty, as the battery and other components (other than the memory and the hard disk) are not user-servicable parts.

I retorde my imac yesterday and bluetooth is not available anymore, any advice?

I restored my Imac yesterday and now can't use bluetooth anymore...it isn't not available and disappeared from menu prefrencessystem. Any advice?

You don't have an iMac PPC if it is running 10.9.1. PPC refers to PowerPC, which was the CPU architecture for pre-2006 Macs.
To re-enable Bluetooth preference, it is in Hard drive -> System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Prefpanes -> Bluetooth.prefpane. Double click it, and it should appear in your System Preferences.
The Bluetooth administrative utility is also found in Applications -> Utilities, and that may need to be run.

Why can I not update Pages, Garage Band, Numbers and Keynote after changing my hard drive and reloading Maverick?

Are the programs in your Applications folder? Did you purchase them from the App Store or do you have an iWork DVD?

Finding photos on hard drive that are not in PSE?

There may be an easy way to do this, but I can't figure it out.
I would like to identify all of the photos scattered around my hard drive that have not been added to a PSE catalog. Is there an easy way to do this?
Any help appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

After changing my hard drive to SSD when reinstalling OS X destination drive not found

I recently replaced a bad Hitachi HDD with a Samsung SSD. When reinstalling OS X the install stops on the "Select the disk where you want to install Mac OS X. The window below is blank. The Samsung SSD is not detected. I have watch videos on the install of the SSD and I have done it all correctly. Twice.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,

Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.

Please help!!! Cannot run Windows Update in Win 7 Pro after changing new hard-drive. (X201s)

Hi everyone,
I have been using my thinkpad x201s for more than one year by now. And recently I change a new and larger hard drive for my laptop. When I tried the thinkpad rescue and recovery disc on the new hard drive, everything works fine except that I cannot run Windows Updates after the installation was finished. The recovery DVDs were burned directly from the original image stored in the computer when the first I received my laptop last year.
Every time when I try to run the Windows Update, it shows the following: "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running, you may need to restart your computer."
I restarted my computer later but nothing changed. Can't run Windows Updates and can't even install IE9.
I then moved back to my old hard drive and everything is normal, no problem with Windows Updates. I also tried to create a back-up image by running win 7 Backups and Restore. Later when I changed back to the new drive and followed the instructions to restore my system from the image I created earlier in a USB drive, it worked except that still the system can't run Windows Updates program.
I'm now getting very confused and upset, is it something to do with the software copyright? It's been a week now and I tried to Google the similar problem but no solutions work here. All I want to do is moving my current system to the new hard drive so that I can continue to use my laptop but it just failed updating every time.
Could anyone kindly tell me what to do when changing hard drive in order to avoid the problem I'm dealing with? Sorry I'm not a pro type user and just want my laptop to work appropriately.
My warranty has already expired so I guess the Lenovo Technical Hotline wouldn't answer my questions anymore. Please help!! Much appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!!

I'm not sure this is the issue, but from your description, it seems as though all you have to do is activate the windows update service. If I were you, I'd search for "Services" in the start menu, open it and look for "Windows Update". Check in its properties that it is set to "Automatic (Delayed)", if it isn't, set it, and start the service, you should then be able to check for updates, be careful though that none of your other programs aren't stopping the service, usually these programs are there to "optimize your performance" or "boost your system",...
Hope this helps.

Industrial sized bug after changing my hard drive's name.

After I changed the name of the hard drive, when I try to open a "Recent Files:" file, it says "index.htm was not found.". And whenever I go to the Files panel into a site, it thinks there are no files in the site.
HELP!!!
Thanks in advance!
I'm running Dreamweaver CS4 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.6.

Doesn't sound like a bug. Recently opened files will remember the full path of the files that were opened, not a relative path. So recent files may not work for awhile until you start opening files on the newly named hard drive. After that you will need to upgrade the paths in your site definitions as well. After you start opening files again the recent files should populate with newer files that are on the new HDD.

ITunes locking up after changing external hard drives?

I recently got a new external hard drive, and moved my music from the old one onto the bigger new one. (They're both the same brand, so I know it's not a compatibility problem.) I seem to have everything loaded into iTunes fine, but when it goes through and tries to get the album artwork, or determine the gapless playback it freezes, and I can't even force quit it. The only way for me to close iTunes is to log out and log back on.
I've tried un- and reinstalling and that wasn't the answer. Any help/Suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I came across your post because, I have been having issues for a while with the same description, except that I am using separate partitions on my main drive.
What I noticed is that if I set my podcast downloads to go to my NTFS main partition, there is no lag... but the moment I set it to my FAT32 partition, the lag starts back up.
I believe that the issue is with the slooow write time to FAT32 in large drives. (And in my instance, the move command apple does to put the podcast, which writes to the FAT32 partition and removes the NTFS temp download) Do you see the same lag or alot shorter if the drive is formatted to NTFS?
I don't really have any space currently to format my partition to test the issue, but I the fact of the downloads speeding up when set to my NTFS main disk makes me think that this issue could be lessened by using FAT32.
a side note for me, I'm considering reformatting my drive to NTFS, after backing up due to the advancement of ntfs3g in linux, so this could solve my problem at least.

Hard drive partitions are not showing in Startup DIsk

My hard drive is partitioned into two volumes. HD1 & HD2 (Both 500 MB)
I had Snow Leopard installed on one (HD2) and Mavericks istalled on the other.(HD1)
Both volumes were visible in the Startup Disk option in System Preferences and I could restart from either.
I upgraded the Mavericks istallation to Yosemite - worked OK.
System Disk option showed both HD1 & HD2
Restarted the Mac from HD2 in Snow Leopard mode - no probs.
Then the problem started. I wanted to restart from HD1 in Yosemite mode.
Went in System Preferences to Startup Disk option - HD1 did not show in the window - only HD2 (Snow Leopard) & Network Startup.
Any ideas anyone? (Could be a bug?)

When I restarted using Com+Opt+P+R it went into Yosemite mode with both volumes showing in Startup disk.
Restarting with HD2 (Snow Leopard) gave me the same problem again.

Itunes doesn't delete my old Podcasts which are not available anymore !

Hi,
Here's the problem:
We used to podcast different feeds, it was working very well, each feed was available on Itunes with its own logo/graphic.
Then we changed URLs and re-apply on Itunes: different URLs, Different Category (government&organizations: United Nations). But everyfeed was on Itunes: The old one+logo and the new one+logo. After useless attempts, I've decided to tell Itunes to delete the old URLs (to avoid any confusion, the old one is not updated anymore), giving the right ones. I repeated my request 2 times on the form(more than one month ago). Still no change.
I don't know if I'm clear (because of my basic english, sorry by the way). Can someone from Itunes contact me ?
The correct URLs are all here: http://www.unmikonline.org/pio/radiopodcast/podcastmain.htm
Thanks for your attention.
Olivier

Your English is fine, Oliver, better than a lot of native speakers
Which form did you use to ask them to remove the old feed? If you just contacted iTunes Support using the website, that might not work. What you need to do is go to your old feed's page in the iTunes store, hit the "Report a Concern" button, and in the "Choose Reason" list, select the "is mine and I would like it removed from the Music Store" option.
Then you need to describe (in the message) that you have moved URLs and have new listings in the Store, and that you would like this old listing deleted. You need to do this for each of the old feeds.
Good luck and let us know if you encounter any more problems.

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.

Hi, I have a new computer and new apple id. I've purchased music with my old computer, email and apple id.
I cant access now the previously purchase music, because it wants to authorize the new computer to play the
music. I cant remember password and security questions for my old id and the old email doest exist anymore.
What can I do?

Hi, Carmen.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to reset you security questions, do not know the answers and no longer have access to that email account, see the last sentence under Note in step 5.
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need tocontact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

If they are still on your Mac's drive then you should be able to add them back into iTunes via File > Add To Library
