Boot Failure From Previous Device...

My computer has been out of commission for over a year now, and I finally bought a new hdd and some ram for it today.
My mobo says K8T Neo MS-6702 V.1 i'm not sure if that specifies what it is, but I don't have the box anymore.
I bought a 500gb Barracude from Seagate and jumped it to make it 1.5 and installed everything and when I turned it on I got the message "Boot Failure From Previous Device".
I tried taking the battery out of the mobo, letting it sit, and putting it back in and turning the system on. Then I set the boot sequence to Floppy, then the hd, and it still gives me the message.
I'm a completely idiot when it comes to computer problems before the operating system starts, so dumbing it down would be appreciated.
I've searched the error message and either I couldn't understand what to do, or the problem wasn't like mine.
I'm basically doing a fresh install of drivers, OS, and everything.
I start the computer up with the SATA driver in the floppy drive.

To install a fresh OS you need to have CD/DVD as 1st boot, not floppy, you should not need the SATA/RAID floppy if you are only going to use SATA drive with no RAID.
If your manual (or if you don't have one) doesn't have instructions for BIOS settings then you can download the PDF version here: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=manual&maincat_no=1&prod_no=588
To gain access to BIOS when you 1st power up PC start tapping on 'Delete' key.

Restoring data from previous device not working

QUESTION:
My question is, am I able to transfer data from my previous Blackberry 10 device and onto my new Blackberry 10 device if I do not have my old device anymore? (Keeping in mind that I have the previous device data backed up).
Problem:
Ok so:
1. I purchased the Z10 and started adding contacts, apps etc.
2. I purchased the Q10 and transfered data using the switch device system
3. The Q10 I had purchased was faulty so before I handed it in to get a new Q10 I backed it up so I could restore its data on the new Q10.
4. Once I received the new Q10 I handed the old one in and went home and attempted to do the same method of transferring my data across
Turns out that you need your previous bbry for this action to be able to work so I thought I would just connect the new Q10 into Link and just click on restore data and using the backup on my previous Q10 (the faulty one).
5. I get an error every time saying that the restore could not be completed because; did not recognise device, try unplugging and replugging etc etc.
Attempted Resolution from reading the forums:
> Restarted PC
> Took bbry battery and sim card out
> Restoring data via Applications > Media > Settings
> Removed device from Link
> Restarted bbry
> Full security wipe and tried again

When you use BlackBerry Link to transfer data from an old device to a new one the software should prompt you to connect your old device. That's when you connect the Z10 (as long as you didn't delete everything from the Z10). It copies and then it prompts you to connect the new device.
To make sure BB Link connects to the new device, go into that device's Settings > Storage and Access and make sure you have USB Connection set for "Connect to PC" and not to "Autodetect." You can try toggling to Mac and back to PC if it doesn't recoginize the connection.

HT201269 my latest backup is not showing, only showing backups from previous devices. using i cloud

I purchased a new iphone 4s to replace my current iphone 4s and I'm trying to backup and transfer info. On new device when i search for backups nothing recent is showing although old device is showing last backup?

How did you upgrade? Did you erase everything and reinstall/recopy/restore your data? If so, and if the old backups are selected in Time Machine Preferences, see the last paragraph in the pink box of #15A of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
the finder window is only showing "All files", "Documents" and "Air drop" folder.
From the Finder menubar, select Preferences > Sidebar and click the things you want to appear.
For some other things you may stumble over, see: Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard.
how can I go back to Snow leopard from Lion.

Cold boot failure

To avoid frequent freezing of my system when I open up IE connected to my work through VPN, I formatted my C drive and did a clean install of XP Pro. Everything looked fine. However, if I power on the machine after some break, after POST it says "boot failure from previous device". If I restart it by hitting the RESET button, everything looks fine. I am seeing this problem since yesterday. I have the same set of hardware without any problem for a while.
My system spec:
MB: MSI 875Neo-Fis2r
CPU: Northwood 2.4Ghz FSB 800Mhz
RAM: 2x512MB DDR-400 OCZ running in Turbo mode (No overclocking as stability is more impotant for me)
HD: SATA Seagate Baracuda 160GB (XP is installed in this drive, 5 partitions in this disk), IDE IBM 100GB (4 partitions, all for data storage)
Video card: (MSI brand) Nvidia Geforce Ti4600
Sound: Santa Cruz Turtle Bach
Peripherals: Hauppauge WinTV PCI
USB: IBM PC Camera, Canon Scan Gear scanner, USB 2800 Video (conected to USB2.0 port for video capture/convert), MSI 8x DVD+-RW, MSI 48x16x48x CDRW (I seem to be a MSI fan!)
PSU: Codegen 400W
OS: XP Pro with SP1 and all the latest updates

Hi,
Could be MEM problem?
PSU more spex needed?
Hard drive has bad sectors?
Could also be cross linked multi OS files, if each BOOT OS partition not "hidden" from other.......you would have scandisk running alot
Both of you need to supply more info........
Look forward to updates....

PT880 Neo-FSR not booting from SATA device

Hi everybody!
MSI PT880 Neo-FSR http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=608
As read on the topic subject, I'm having trouble trying to boot up using my new SATA DVD-RW. This device works perfect while running Windows XP on my PC, but when I try to boot from it, I simply can't.
My PT880 Neo-FSR mobo is running the latest avalaible BIOS version (2.0) and Internal SATA controller and SATA boot ROM function are enabled. Looking inside the booting options, I just can't set my SATA DVD-RW as a valid device for booting up (I only see my IDE HDDs, FDD and LAN as booting options).
This is my first time triying to boot up from this SATA device and the first time I realized that I can actually use it for anything but booting, which is so weird! I even tried installing this device on my brother's PC and booted up succesfully there, so my mobo is the problem here.
If you're asking yourselves how I installed Win XP on this PC with no CD/DVD booting: My former IDE DVD-RW is now my sister's, so I kept previously instalation and just changed devices.
I need to run some utlities from a boot-CD and re-install Windows on this PC real soon, so I'd appreciate some help.
P.S. I tried to do my best with my 'rusty' English, so I hope you could fully understad what I've written above.

Quote from: Henry on 03-September-08, 14:26:24
Are you saying it does work but you simply can't boot from it? Have you tried by using the F11 boot menu?
Yes! This device has been working great, but the only problem I get is when I try to use it for booting.
I alredy tried using the F11 boot menu and nothing happened... It's so weird!

I searched on internet, I think this is caused by my graphic card(ATI 5750), but I have no idea to solve it
I don't know my system boot failure due to these error or another things.
my PC specs:
motherbroad - gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 (bios ver - F11)
cpu - i5-750
display - ati 5750
os - arch 64bit
Currently, I have downgraded back to 3.13.
I hope someone can give me some idea,
Thanks

As there are errors associated with ntpd, I would temporarily disable the ntpd service and also ipv6.
If they are not the only problem, at least your logs would be easier to examine for other problems.

new iPad air. set it as new device. asked in itunes to restore from previous older iPad backup. it's not restored\i'm asked to do it agagin and again, in loop
tried defining the iPad as new - the same problem. started it in recovery mode - the same

The definition of insanity.....
Does it ask for the old device by name? How do you know it isn't restored? Have you completed setup and checked on the device?
Are you using the same iTunes account and Apple ID?
On your iTunes account, Open preferences, go to devices tab
Look in the box for a backup of your old device. Is there a backup?
If there is no backup, you have nothing to restore.

HELP! How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?

Hi,
I am having a few problems with bootcamp on my imac. When i tried to move the bootcamp partition on windows 7 into free space, it crashed and turned off. Ever since i have had the error 'Missing operating system' and it fails to boot. I have some very important files on the bootcamp partition. Is it possible to recover these files or even to restore the bootcamp partition to it's original state? I do not have a backup of my bootcamp partition. Another problem i have is that ever since i tried to expand my macintosh HD partition into free space, when i hold alt while booting up (to choose which partition to boot like i normally do), the bootcamp partition has stopped appearing. This means that i cannot even boot the windows 7 bootcamp partition anymore!
So basically here are my 2 questions:
How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?
How can i make the Bootcamp partition appear in Startup Disk and when i hold the option key while starting up my computer to allow me to boot windows 7?
Any solutions are very much apreciated!
Thanks!
I know that bootcamp (disk0s4) hasn't been fully deleted since it appears in disk utility (i cant do anything to it though)
And here is the error i see when i try to launch bootcamp (back when i was actually able to boot up bootcamp to the error screen)

WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
http://www.twocanoes.com/
Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.

I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
OS X
Windows
Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine

There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

G3 MiniTower, Won't boot from any devices.

Hello, i recently got a lot of 8 PowerPC Mac. One of these is a PowerMac G3 Minitower but it refuse to boot. i successfully booted it from a System 8.5 floppy but now when i try to boot from the floppy i get a Happy Mac but the floppy is ejected 2 second after. i have almost all the Mac OS CD and i tested all of them on my others mac and they qork great. when i try a Mac OS 8.5 CD (with and without the C Key Down), the cd is ejected 2 second after the happy mac, My Mac OS 9.1 CD, OS X 10.2 CD and my Mac OS 9.2 CD won't boot at all (i get the Floppy with a Question Mark), I Have installed a Core System Software for all Macintosh on a SCSI External Hard Disk with my B&W G3 but i still get the Floppy with a Question Mark (i also pressed CMD-OPT-SHIFT-DELETE for external boot), i have installed a Core Mac OS 8.5 System for All Macintosh on a Internal Hard Disk and i installed it in the G3 but i still get the Floppy with a Question Mark. i don't know what to do. With my Mac OS 8.5 cd, i got 1 time to the Mac OS Logo but right after i got a blinking White box on the top of it.
What i can do?
Thank You
Thomas Brousseau

>"the Happy Mac Face..."The Happy Mac SE is smiling because it found valid Boot Blocks on a drive, and will now try to boot from that drive. If the CD is no longer in the drive, it is booting from the Hard Drive you installed. Either the Hard Disk Driver or parts of the System installed on that Hard Drive are bad, or the SCSI termination is not right. You should not set the Hard drive to ID=3 (only the low two ADDR jumpers installed) as that is the address used for the "C"-key device, such as a SCSI CD Drive.
You can sometimes bypass the default drive by holding down Command Option Shift Delete at startup. But it makes more sense for debugging to just disconnect the power connector to the Hard Drive until you can boot from a CD.
If you have a good battery, and press the tiny CUDA Reset button, the parameters should be set to values that will allow it to boot from a CD. They will also be set to defaults when you hold down 4 keys: Command Option P R for 4 chimes at startup.

Trying to hook up preowned airpoirt extreme. asking for password for selected wireless device. would there be a password from previous owner?

A "hard reset" will do the same thing.
Make sure that the AirPort Extreme is powered on
Hold in the reset button for a few seconds and the amber light will begin to blink more quickly. Keep holding the reset button when you see this for another 4-5 seconds and release
Allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup

HT201272 I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device. The iCloud download button is not there. Help?

I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device. The iCloud download button is not there. Help?

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

How to prevent boot from external devices?

Hello,
Does anyone know how I could disable my imac's boot from external devices (firewire/USB disks etc.) like it can be done on PC hardware by changing BIOS options? Also, how can you password protect your machine pre-boot? I believe both issues are important to protect from unauthorized access (know the "evil maid attack"?)
Many thanks,
Georgios

There is a firmware password feature
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352
but there is an ominous Warning below the Summary. It basically sets the hardware so that a password (not the same as you user account password) is needed when you start up the Mac and nothing much can be done without it.
At the most basic level, if you turn off +Automatic Login+ in System Preferences Accounts pane, a login window will appear when you start up. If a different account (or a different drive) is used to start up your iMac, your user account home folder will not be accessible directly. However, the data is not encrypted in any way, so a determined hacker would be able to access your data.
If you want to encrypt your user account home folder, you can use the File Vault feature which is set up in System Preferences Security pane FileVault tab.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8727.html

Is there a way to restore the data of a single app instead of my whole previous device from iCloud?

Just as the title says, is there a method to do so?
I have an account in a game that was stored on my previous device which is linked to the device, now that I have a new device I have to start fresh. I would like to recover the data for that 1 account, but don't want to restore the rest of the things I had backed up.
I updated to iOS7 from a previous version that I forget.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately not.
