    You will only know about the hard drive when you try to access it in TDM from your other computer. If you cannot boot into TDM mode or if the drive does not appear on the new computer's Desktop then it is likely bad.
    What you are thinking about as a recovery disk is the Recovery HD normally created when you install Lion or later on the computer. You boot from it as follows:
    Boot Using Command+R keys:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
          "COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
      3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

  • HT5312 Is it possible to make a rescue email for an iTunes account that is currently in use? If it is how do I do it?

    If you know the answers to your security questions then steps 1 to 5 half-way down the page that you posted from will take you to a screen where you can add one.
    If you don't know their answers then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use those steps to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Can not make a recovery disc for Toshiba Laptop

    When I try to make a recovery disc for my Toshiba Satellite L305-S5919 I receive the following message:
    An error occurred in the recording phase. Please check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
    Error Code: 0E01B5-26-2A040301.
    I have tried to do a recovery disc since buying the Computer in June 2009. The message always comes up at the same spot in the process. I am using DVD-R discs.

    Can you burn to those disks using the regular Disk Writer Program?  It doesn't matter what type as long as it's to that same batch of disks.
    I would contact Toshiba as per this post and request that they provide you with a set of Recovery Disks since you can't make your own.  They shouldn't charge you for them under the circumstances, but you might have to be forcefull about it.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Can't update any apps because I don't know my apple account password and I can't recieve the recovery email for some reason., Can't update any apps because I don't know my apple account password and I can't recieve the recovery email for some reason.

  • Can I swap my recovery email for my primary email?

    i want my recovery email as my primary email and i don't know how to do it!!?

    You can try removing it as your rescue email address - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
    Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    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.
    After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
    Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
    Step 6 should also give you a Delete button next to it.
    When you've done that you may then need to log out of that site before logging back in and seeing if you can then use it as your primary email address. And then similarly log out and see if you can add your current primary email address as your rescue email address.

  • Why am I not receiving the recovery email for my apple ID?

    I could not remember my password for my Apple ID, so I used the iForgot feature and requested a recovery email to reset my password. I've done about 5 times and it keeps saying that the email was sent but I'm not getting any emails??
    (And yes, I've checked all my email accounts, and the Spam folders as well--nothing from Apple regarding the password reset is there.)

    Hello, eshara_a.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that your Apple ID needs to be reset, but you are not receiving the recovery email.  Since the spam folder has been checked, I would recommend seeing the section labeled Get Help in the article below.  
    If these steps didn't help you change your password, contact Apple Support.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password
    Cheers,

  • HT204053 Hello, i wanted to ask if i can put in a diffrent email for my iCloud so that the verifying email could be sent to, beacause the first mail i was using is no longer working and that way i can't backup my stuff into iCloud..please help.

    It's not actually my account but it was already in the iPad when i first bought and i've been using this ID for more than three years now, but all the email and verifying email from iTunes get send there instead of my own email, and even that i tried to log in the person's mail it was deleted and no more excisted so i can't verify to iCloud , what can i do? Can i replace the email of the ID with my own?
    Please help.

    All downloads from iTunes are tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't re-download content via a different account. You checked the spam folder on yourr old account as well as the Inbox, and depending upon how long ago you did it, have you retried getting it reset : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password' ?

  • I can't find an option to add a recovery email for the purpose of resetting my security questions. There is also no option when I am in the "manage my account" area that lets me reset my security questions. How can I reset them?

    1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
    2. Here are two different but direct methods:
        a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
        b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
            and service.

  • HT5577 In dont receive my recovery message for mi Apple ID on my recovery email, what can I do?

    Created an Apple ID for my mom can't seem to get the recovery email for the password

    OK. firstly I'll say that Apple's ID thing is weird. Currently - I can't synch my notes accross devices because I don't have a .icloud address even though everything else work just fine with my regular appleID... w+f?
    Anyway - you can get around this problem with the application loader by just opening the epub with the app store application directly - no need to go through application loader at all.
    two finger tap -> open with -> app store
    now... where did they put iBooks for OSX?

  • How can I make the xfinity email app my default email for my 4s?

    I have set up hotmail and yahoo email on my iPhone.  They work fine and show all folders that are on my desktop on the Iphone.  When I set up my comcast email it only will show the inbox and deleated folders.  Comcast is my main email client and I need to see all of the same folders that are on my desktop on the Iphone.  When I install the xfinity app on the Iphone all of the folders are available on the Iphone, but I can't make the xfinity email my default or primary email on the Iphone.  Any Help??

    That's correct, & why there is a separate app.

  • I am trying to install Lion on my imac and it says it can't make a recovery disk

    I am trying to install lion and receive a message saying it can't make a recovery disk.  I am using a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac.  I do have bootcamp on it, but was never able to install Windows.

    What happens when Lion installs is it creates a Lion Recovery Partition at the very bottom area of the drive, this is used to Command R boot into and perform Disk Utility Repairs and reinstall Lion from Apple's servers much like a 10.6 disk will.
    So when you ran the Lion installer, it couldn't create this small partiiton, either because the GUID partition table (the map of your paartitions on the drive) is borked or there is data all the way to the bottom of the drive or OS X thinks there is.
    You set up the bootcamp parittion, so run that and delete the Bootcamp partition as your not using it or Windows, once it's finished reboot and try installing Lion again.
    I should warn you, Lion will not run your Rosetta based software or hardware drivers for external hardware, you may have to purchase all new versions. Not only that, hardware drivers may not be available for 10.7 thus rendering your third party printers, scanners etc useless.
    Before you install Lion, you should consult this web page
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    to see if your current programs will break and when to expect a new version (likely paid)
    Also you shoudl check your hardware and the makers site if there is a 10.7 compatible driver/software for them.
    And once you think your ready to go to Lion, get a blank external powered drive and a free/donationware copy of Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your present (non-Filevault) 10.6 boot drive to the external drive.
    Later if 10.7 doesn't work for you, simply hold the option key and boot off the 10.6 clone, use Disk Utility to Erase the entire drive (the whole drive!) and reverse clone 10.6 back onto the internal drive.

  • How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server?

    How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server when I delete them on my iPad?
    Can anyone help me whith this?
    I tried to use the pop account in gmail settings but that was downloading all my emails sice 2008 ( more than 300 deleted emails tha can only be found in the deleted email box), when I just have 5 or 6 email in the inbox .
    How can I solve this????
    Thank u all...

    I have the same problem. For years I have been able to delete emails from my ipad and have them remain on the server so I can deal with them on the desktop. Now they get deleted from the server when deleted from the ipad, which makes the ipad unless for reading mail.
    You answered to delete the email account on the ipad and set up a new one as a pop. I have made many attempts to do that in the  incomping mail server "Host Name" field but it always errors out even when the host name is equal to what my desk top has. So I can see no way to change away from IMAP. I started with an ipad 1 and now have an ipad 2.
