Anyone else think it is wrong to only let you make one recovery of your computor

anyone else think it is wrong that hp only let you make one back up of your operating sys then say if it is lost or damaged you have to buy a new one, beore they used to give you a disk when you bought your compuer with no restrictions on how many copies now it comes with your comp and you can only back it up once,even though its new and people have accidents or lose thing. Compters are expencive and they should not restrict people on how many copies they make as they only work on that compuer any way??

i wasnt given recovery disc i made copy on a usb memory stick, tried to copy but wouldnt, im just trying to make copy on to disc but cant?
With Hp I could only make one from the recovery partition. 
I was only able to make more after recovering with the recovery media that I purchased from Hp
I have only used the recovery media once on my PC. Mainly to see if it work rork.  I have both DVD's and Flash recovery.
I always have several back up images on two different external drives. I have images with factory setting and images of current images. I use Macrium Reflect. IMHO that is the only way to go. I have never had any problems restoring my OS with Macrium Reflect. I have been doing it for years and not one failure. My recovery media would be the last offence, but it's nice to know that it's there.
Dokie!

  • I want to switch between two iTunes libraries belonging to two different iTunes accounts stored on the same pc but Apple TV only lets you put one account in home sharing. Is there a way round this?

    Help

    You can only use one account at a time in iTunes. Indeed if you try switching accounts you may well find you are unable to switch back for 90 days.

  • How do you back up or go forward more than one page at a time? Older verisions list all the previous pages when you click on forward or back page arrows new 4.0 only lets you go one page at a time

    see question

    You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

  • Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to sync my new iPad. Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook? I'm angry!

    Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 with Leopard and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that my system can download the relevant iTunes upgrade to sync my new iPad and get my audiobooks (which don't appear anywhere on the device right now). Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook and Snow Leopard costs more also? I don't have financial resources to pay for all the new memory requirement and related upgrades they say I need just to sync my iPad with my purchases.

    Thanks for the reply but I already knew this. $20 for Snow Leopard which asks for 5gb free memory. I can only see that I have 4 gb (which I feel is rather a pathetic amount of available memory for any computer). To upgrade this computer's memory will cost another fee (I haven't researched this yet but gather it's more than $20). Then of course I could also be told that the OSX Mackbook Pro that I have can't be memory upgraded - which means I'm being told to buy a new computer - hence my very frustrated last email. I have been given a lovely iPad 2 as a present and now can't sync at all with anything because of this ongoing upgrade nightmare. How on earth am I going to be able to sync my movies, audiobooks etc to this new device??

  • N8 email application - anyone else think it's rubb...

    The email application is rubbish because: 
    It takes 'a hundred years' to get a connection from the mail server
    It over-rides the "switch WLAN scanning off" option so it opens and keeps open the connection while it spends a hundred years polling the mail server, even if you set it to connect only every hour or so
    It NEVER synchronises on demand, I just get the spinning green circle for ages
    When synchronising, it usually leaves emails in that mailbox which I have deleted when using the mail app on my PC so that's incomplete. But then next time it does work; intermittent
    It always has difficulty getting the rest of the message after opening and freezes the emails whenever I read them until it's got whatever it needs (i.e. I have the option set to not download images but it tries to do it anyway whenever I open an email
    You cannot reply without it first connecting to the network to retrieve the message. That means you can't do offline emails
    It's totally rubbish, very disappointing and I have stopped using it. I go to Opera Mobile 10.1 browser and check my mail through the internet directly.
    Anyone else think this?

    I second points 3 and 4 especially.
    In addition, the widget stops working randomly, see /t5/Nseries-and-S60-Smartphones/N8-Mail-widget-bug/m-p/869591
    The most annoying is that all this seems to appear at random, either for app or for widget.

  • Does anyone else think..............

    Does anyone else think you should be able to import a DVD using itunes? Just like you would with a CD? I think itunes needs to get with the times...

    If you're referrring to commercial DVDs, the problem with that is that they're copy-protected. Apple would have to build in decoding of the copy protection into iTunes and get licenses from the DVD producers to allow DVDs to be imported, something they're unlikely to grant, though we can hope that at some point the content owners will be flexible enough to allow it.

  • I have two email accounts. It is only letting me check one. How can I check the other?

    I registered two different email accounts on my iPad mini. It's only letting me check one. How can I check the other one too?

    Congratuations on your new iPad!
    Since your device is so new, I can state categorically that this an issue with configuration. Delete the account that doesn't work, and enter the information anew.
    If you're still having problems, check that your email address and password are correct, and if possible, verify it by checking your ISP's settings.

  • HT204411 i am trying to purchase many songs at one time. i have added all songs to wish list , now to purchase it will only let me  do one at a time  please advise how i can purchase more than one at a time

    i am trying to purchase many songs at one time. i have added all songs to wish list , now to purchase it will only let me  do one at a time  please advise how i can purchase more than one at a time

    There used to be a 'buy all' button on the wish list screen but for some reason that has been removed from the current version of iTunes so you will need to buy each item individually. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be added back in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • How do i download 15 photo folders to my ipad. it only lets me download one. if i try download another folder, it deletes the previous folder.

    how do i download 15 photo folders to my ipad. it only lets me download one. if i try download another folder, it deletes the previous folder.

    You need to select and sync them in one go. Photos that you sync from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so you've effectively been telling iTunes to replace the folder that you've just synced with a new folder

  • HELP! i turned my phone on and it will only let me make emergency calls!!!!

    I had been having trouble syncing my iPhone to my Mac computer.
    One day, after i installed Leopard, i plugged my phone into my computer.
    Normally what happens is iTunes and iPhoto pop up and my phones little logo comes up in each application. But, what actually happened was only iPhoto came up, so i was confused.
    I opened up iTunes, but the phone still wasn't showing up. It also wasn't syncing with iCal either. So i had been reading articles on problems with the iphone and i hadn't found anything, so i went to my schools tech guy and he as a iphone and a mac too, so we plugged my phone into his computer, and what do you know, it showed up in HIS itunes. I unplugged my phone from his computer and noticed i had no service. So i waited like 15 minutes and nothing changed, so i shut my phone off and turned it back on, and this weird screen came up. Its like a picture of the plug and a arrow pointing to the itunes logo, still saying i have no service, and only letting me make emergency calls. i plugged it into my computer and nothing happened. what do i do!?

    I have the same problem. iTunes says There was a problem downloading the iPhone software for the iPone "XXXXXX". The requested resource was not found.
    I cannot fix the problem.

    You will need to establish an account with whoever the phone is locked with and restore it. Or you will not to unofficially unlock it again.

  • Itunes only lets me buy one song

    Itunes only lets me buy one song and then it tells me that itunes cant process credit card at this time try later, all this since i used itunes gift card and left a 16cents balance on it.

    OK, I'm starting to understand this.  When I turned on iTunes match it moved my songs to the cloud, so they are not longer on my computer.  When I look at my song list most (all but 25) have a little cloud symbol next to them which means they are on the cloud and not on my computer.
    So not what I have to understand is how to sync my music which is on the cloud with my nano which cannot connect to the cloud.
